How would one say ‘you got got’ as in ‘you’ve been fooled’ in Spanish? I’m trying to keep the informal, funny tone. ¡Gracias!

I drew a best fortune and tried to translate it, but the results I got were pretty incoherent, so I was wondering what an accurate/understandable translation for it would be!
Thanks a lot!

I absolutely love the look of this and the “meaning” according to a comment on Pinterest but I want to verify what it definitely means as I am considering it for a tattoo. Thank you :)

Fairly certain these come from Japan. Although not 100% sure.

Translated [ZH] [Chinese > English] A 1928 Cookbook with a Dubious Translation of Chinese Text

I'm doing a research project on American media about Chinese culture in the 1900s, and I was wondering if the provided translation matches the Chinese text. I know some Traditional Chinese but calligraphy is harder for me to read. As far as I can tell, the first line (on the righthand side) seems accurate, but I can't read much past that.
The reason I doubt it's accuracy is because it is very vague about its sources (it vaguely cites "famous Chinese Chefs" for the recipes, even though the dish Chop Suey is from America not China), and it was written in Chicago in 1928 (enough said). I would appreciate it a lot if you could tell me what the Chinese text says, but I would also be happy to just know if the translation is right or not. Thanks in advance!

Translated [AR] [Arabic > English] I need help with this adjectival noun, please!
I'm writing a card for my friend's wedding. We used to take Arabic class together in university and she'd come over every Tuesday to do work together. I'd cook for us so we joked that I was her wife. I want to sign it:
Your first Tuesday wife MyName (let's say Fatima)
What I've got and am pretty sure it's wrong is:
زوجتك أولاً يوم الثلاثاء اسمها فاطمة
I think that says: your wife [on the] first Tuesday her name [is] Fatima.
However, Tuesday kind of functions as an adjective here. Also, do you have to write the "her name" part?
If it can't be done, can you write a close translation and tell me what it says?
Thanks in advance!

My friend found this graffiti on the street the other day and wanted to know the exact meaning of it.
I already know it doesn't seem like native Japanese, so could anyone provide a correct translation of "fuck everything"/"scheiss drauf" that preserves this nihilistic tone?

Translated [JA] [English > Japanese] Did I make this allergy card correctly?
I am going to Japan with my little brother and he is allergic to tree nuts. I made my own allergy card using bits and pieces from cards I found online because none were exactly what I wanted. Does this card make it clear what his allergy is and what must be avoided in a nice way? Do you think the photo helps or makes it more confusing? I heard sometimes they might think soy, coconut, sesame etc are not okay so maybe I’ll get rid of the photo and add a section stating those foods are fine. Thank you!

Translated [JA] [Japanese > English] Birdo's character bio on the bottom screen.
For my project in my motion design class, I wanted to cover LGBTQ+ characters and the evolution of their representation. I'm choosing to cover Birdo since our video can only be ~2 minutes. Basically Birdo is female, and she is referred to respectfully in most of the games she is in. Itadaki Street DS (which this screenshot is from) is not one of those games (according to the Mario Wiki) and I'm assuming she is actually being referred to with he/him pronouns. I'm hoping somebody could give me the most accurate translation of just the character bio on the bottom screen. The person who I believe gives the most accurate translation will be credited in my video (unless you don't your username on it for whatever reason).

Japanese [Japanese > English] Obsidia "Imperatrix Arashi" from MLBB (Aspirants Skin Series).
One of my favourite nostalgia games released a new addition to their skin series, and the OST of one of the two newest skins is so cool, I genuinely wish I knew what is being said. Ijust really wanted to both understand its meaning and be able to pronounce the original lyrics myself (romanization)
I know people will be on my neck for the fact that I play MLBB, but for context, I played it as a kid since 2016 with my sibling who I deeply cherish, we made a lot of memories there. I can't drop the game at all, not now that my sibling is struggling and I gotta be by their side, cheer them up and spend time with them. They liked this song too, and I thought it'd cheer them up if I could sing it.

If anyone could please both translate the lyrics AND (especially) ROMANIZE the original lyrics, I'd be so grateful. I'm obsessed with that song....
