Metal Family Translations

  [ORIGINAL VIDEO] [TL Note: A small interview from November 2020, where the hosts were asking Alina and Dima questions from chat. This translation isn't direct. It's a condensed version that includes only the most notable parts of the interview, as some questions were either repeats or didn't relate to Metal Family. Answers are also shortened to make it easier to read, but I still tried to keep in as much context as I could.]

  [ORIGINAL VIDEO] [SUBBED VIDEO] by heavibear ( @ratibear on Instagram) Heavy: Hey everyone, I'm Heavy! Gonna answer some questions right now. I even cleaned the table. Just left the important stuff. Holy shit, there's so many! That's crazy... Well, okay, I'll start with the most popular ones, then we'll see. "When's revenge on Suslik (Gopher)???" That damn gorilla only attacks people smaller than him! Wait 'til I gain some muscle, I'll kick his butt! Of course we could attack him together with Dee, but 2 on 1 doesn't seem chivalrous, we still abide by our code... So I'll get buff and fight him myself! Though, lately he hasn't been seen at school at all. I wonder why... "What's your most funny memory with Dee?" Ummm... Well, there's a funny one! One night I couldn't sleep and that blondie kept sneaking out at night, so then the rain started. I look out and he's climbing the roof — he always climbs into h...

  [ORIGINAL VIDEO] A: Awaf! D: Te-he-he! Answering questions. Let's see. It's been years since we answered anyone. A: It's been years since we even checked the group. Shame on us. D: Faster! Arrrgh! The PC is struggling, it's all hot. [15 mins later] D: There, that's all of them. A: Ok, let's begin with Alina [the person in the messages]. "Hello, sorry if I'm distracting you from work. I found this account on Instagram. I'm not sure, but I think it's plagiarizing your sketches..." A: Actually, yes. It's not an official account. "... that you send off with merch. I wanted to know if you're the creator of it." A: No, it's not official. It's made by some fan who sloppily traces Dee, as if it's his actual account. Well, I can't say I have anything against it. But yeah, it's unofficial. "When's the stream?" A: Let's consider this a mini stream. "Greetings. I've got inside your mer...

[ORIGINAL VIDEO] [SUBBED VIDEO] by heavibear ( @ratibear on Instagram) AWAF to everyone! We thought that ending the year on such a negative note would not be so good. After all, this year was pretty hard for a lot of people. And even though watching videos about someone's burning butt is kinda fun, just like it is making them, let the final word of 2020 belong to a kind, holiday story. Let's consider this a mini episode of "Imagine". And this time instead of a movie we chose a timeless literature classic. A lot of you will instantly guess which book it is, but for the others who won't... Let's go. [TL note: In case you need to know, I wrote the book's name at the end of the post.] Dima the Narrator: One dollar and eighty five cents. [Text on the jar: "Don't spend"] This was all our hero had for buying a gift to his loved one. And tomorrow's already Christmas.  Alina: How could Glam fuck up so badly?!  Dima: Such is the plot of our story...

[ORIGINAL VIDEO] EVIL... Evil! RAGE #1 Part 1: Wonderland Dima: In the last video “a little about the plans” Alina mentioned certain individuals, who thought they didn’t have to negotiate with us and started selling merch with our characters and trademark. You wouldn’t believe it, but after that we got an email from Wonderland! “No way!” we thought, “Are they actually gonna apologize? Or maybe even give us money”... [TL note: The email is written with a lot of spelling mistakes, but for the sake of clean translation I’ll correct it.] “Hello! This is the Wonderland shop. Lately we’ve been getting messages from school kids (2 people) with various complaints . I don’t understand why you couldn’t contact me directly…” Dima: Oh, so it’s not you who has to contact us when you plan on selling merch with our trademark, huh? “I completely can’t understand that. I can offer you partnership with our store…” Dima: What fucking partnership are you talking about when you already broke all forms of c...

[Original video] Alina: AWAF to everyone! I’m Alina, the author of Metal Family. Remember me? Uh-huh. This is the long-awaited video “a little about the plans”, and I’ll try to, as briefly as possible, tell you about what has happened, what is happening now and what will, in the fortunate set of circumstances, happen. So… It’s already been half a year since the end of the first season, and in that time our season 2 production progress has been… zero. Why? Because there was a lot of work. And now, in order. Like I said in the first episode of “a little about the plans”, if the audience increases, I’ll make Metal Family my main job. And you guys, to put it lightly, multiplied by quite a lot. There are so many of you that we’re unable to answer all your messages in the community.  [Sign: My wall] I’m infinitely happy that our family was liked and has inspired so many people to make art. And yes, I’ve left my work as a 3D animator to be seriously involved in my project. Moreover, Dim...

[ORIGINAL VIDEO] [SUBBED VIDEO] by heavibear ( @ratibear on Instagram) Dima: Eheheh! Well, what have you written here? Let’s see… Ohhh! “Imagine if the characters of Metal Family were in Winx Club” [Dima and Alina laugh] Still, some of the very first comments were about Harry Potter… Ok, let it be Harry Potter. Though, I didn’t watch all of it… Just the first 1 and a half movies. Around 15 years ago. On a square, fat television with a resolution of 2:2 pixels. But even with that quality I was impressed by the realistic special effects and animation physics, when it suddenly replaced the actors. Anyway, since I didn’t know much about Harry Potter I decided to watch this… saga? Or how is it called? Alina: Potteriana. Dima: Potteriana? Alina: Potter-iana. Dima: Sounds like a spell. Alina: Well, someone called it that. Dima: Potterianus! Okay, let’s watch. What the? WOW, what great acting! Why is he doing this?! Such diverse facial expressions, Harry! Shut that gremlin up already, you we...

This is a direct translation of the video YOU SHOULD'VE SAVED (А НАДА БЫЛА САХРАНЯЦА). You can watch the original here [in Russian] . Alina: Hey hey hey! Hello everyone! I'm here today in place of Dima. Why? Well, you'll figure it out later... Today I wanted to show you how the videos for this channel are made. Believe me, it's a very intruiging story... Yeah. [writings on the door: backstage, everything sucks, don't come in, I'm tired, it will kill you, beware of angry artists, fuck this art crap] Anyway. For the past week Dima's been drawing videos for our new series "Imagine". We wrote the script, Dima voiced it, and personally we really like how it's turning out. But the video turned out very long, with a duration of over 12 minutes. [Top bar: Video 1, Bottom bar: The last video, The very top bar: what's turning out now] But we thought whatever, fuck it, we'll just work a little bit more. At least it's worth it. [Dima and Alina ...

[ORIGINAL VIDEO] [SUBBED VIDEO] by heavibear ( @ratibear on Instagram) Dima: “Imagine"... If you guys didn’t know, that’s how all scenarios for Metal Family were created. They started with the words: “Imagine…” For example, we went to a quest (escape room).  “Imagine if our characters went to a quest!” “Imagine if our characters played poker!” “Imagine if our characters went to the Wacken festival!” “Imagine if our characters were there, there, there, here…” “Hehehehe! Awesome, let’s write that down!” That’s how all scenarios were made. Of course, most of these “imagine…” will not appear in the series, because, well... at that point it’d be plagiarism. We can’t make an episode of Metal Family where the characters are DC superheroes [Characters on screen: Banectoria, Glaman, Shazeavy, Deedler] But at least we can discuss this topic You know, unlike me, Alina often reads fanfics and finds something that makes her go... Alina: [laughs hysterically] Dima: What, what, what is it? Ali...
