Suvian: My OCs name is Sakura Harono because shes my favourite naruto character and its a kewl naem and you cant say it isnt.
English: I'm too lazy to look up Japanese names, I can't spell character's names properly and I have no idea what apostrophes are for.

Suvian: (A/N It looks just like Renji's sword in its shikai form.)
English: (A/N I'm too unoriginal to come up with a new weapon design and too lazy to describe an important prop.)

Suvian: (A/N SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE RANKA DID IN THE SECOND OPENING OF MACROSS FRONTIER AT 1:15)
English: (A/N She's basically a character from a different anime transplanted into my fic and given a different name and a bitchier, sluttier personality.)

Suvian: OMG SUGOI KAWAII KITSUNE-CHAN DESU!!!!!
English: I only know five Japanese words but not what they mean or how to use them properly.

Suvian: Glossary at bottom of page
English: I've used loads of Japanese words that actually exist in English, and not just the untranslatable fandom-specific terms that the majority of fans know already.

Sorry for the anime overdose of my examples. The first, fourth and fifth ones I've seen in various forms and the second and third are influenced by what music I was listening to while typing.
