Zuko's journal entries | Netflix's AtLA (2024)

*possible spoilers, personal musings*

Been seeing some people on the former Bird Social Media site roasting not just the largely nonsense entries — these are legit Chinese characters but make no cohesive sense as a whole — but also “Zuko's handwriting” calibre…

Indiscernibility of the characters' logical sense and an easily/commonly committed mistake aside…

[By “mistake” — as someone else already pointed out in another post — I mean the usage of 「黄」 (used in Simplified Chinese & modern Japanese) instead of 「黃」 (used in Traditional Chinese) when the rest of the journal otherwise shows Traditional Chinese characters.]

is the writing itself really deserving of that much ridicule?

I mean, it is legible, fairly neat, and seems a more realistic rendition of how a teenage boy — with a possible bad eye and probably hasn't had much time to practise writing — would write?

Perhaps it's because I have atrocious handwriting and have spatial awareness difficulties/eye problems myself that I feel more empathetic towards this but…

Why did everyone (hyperbole) expect “Zuko” (whoever did the prop) to have superb calligraphy skills (especially taking into account his aforementioned age and situation) anyway?

*end musings*

#I've watched Ep 1 of #Netflix's Avatar: the Last Airbender #So far and it isn't so bad (yet) though the poor lighting in several scenes #Irritated me as always! But it's tolerable I guess #NAtLA #Netflix Avatar #Chinese Language #Traditional Characters #Language

my friend and i were talking about how strange it is to see young actors hit puberty in between filming and release so i passionately explained to her about how i am 99% sure that during a scene in good omens s1 where adam and brian were discussing the intricacies of atlantis people surviving with diving helmets on had adam's actor voice dubbed in "that's right" because of how 1) the camera is still on brian and we do not pan over to adam speaking the actual line and 2) adam's actor's voice sounds fairly deeper on that line compared to his voice in the rest of the season and my friend just responds with:

"i think you should put that on the adhd application"

i-

what do i do now.. having received the read of the century. get tested for adhd i fucking guess.

#good omens #good omens s1 #ok maybe i have watched good omens season 1 like at least 30 times #and maybe i've memorized so much of the script accidentally that random phrases from random scenes will pop into my head #like when covid reared its ugly head and it was the line “strange times indeed” from that one news caster after the ep 4 atlantis cold open #i thought everyone was like this #apparently not #neil gaiman #adhd

HAPPY ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY, BE MY FAVORITE!

He would not fucking say that but I am allowed one bad joke today

#Half Life #Gordon Freeman #Adrian Shephard #G-Man #GMan #I feel like I've seen people get away with a lot more on here but please know this is a joke #Idk if Adrian'll even be out of the void after Ep 1+2 anyway bc G-Man does his time travel bullshit to get his replacement for Gordon #And I don't believe he forgot Adrian. He specifically doesn't want Adrian in the hands of his employers and beyond #AND THEY DON'T REALLY CARE FOR HIM EITHER BUT Watch Out #Gmandrian

[fountainpenguin]

Barely two minutes into Grian's Ep 8 and I'm losing it... what a fantastic task, oh my gosh. Jimmy on Discord haunting him from beyond the grave...

Every bit of that so far, from "No way!" to "Prove that you can see me!" and "This- This is mad-" is gonna make awesome 'fic material...

Jimmy: "And you're looking at Etho and ZombieCleo"

Grian, panicked, cutting him off: "Okay okay okay okay okay!"

#Secret Life #Grian #trafficblr #Jimmy Solidarity #traffic life smp #Secret Life SMP spoilers #Secret Life spoilers #When I saw people teasing Grian for saying 'admin fairies' I was like '... but don't they literally have an admin named Sonam- #who's in Bdubs Last Life Ep 1?' and idk if this is how it works but now I'm thinking maybe Jimmy's on the admin account? #Can the admin account be invis? I am intrigued #^ I am liveblogging so this might get disproven later just something I've been musing over #Would love to find a place for Sonam in my fic but idk anything about them wheeze #Riddle watches Traffic #mcyt #traffic spoilers

hm. in the process of doing some informal research re: Kollok I found this line on Polygon:

"One of the show’s gimmicks is that players who subscribe to the channel on Twitch can then make their own characters and are then allowed to embark on a freeform text-based role-play via Discord."

And I gotta ask but has anyone from the Polygon TTRPG/Actual Play writers every been on social media because I'm like, pretty sure any fan of any show can make up an OC and do text-based roleplay on a Discord server; it just might not be an official Discord server. I really do increasingly feel like Polygon capes so hard for Kollok and the heavily film-edited D20 seasons because they don't actually have a good grounding in basic actual play and fandom culture and are honestly a little embarrassed by it. Unfortunately this also means that they're like "Gadzooks! What are these Incredible New concepts like Text-based Roleplay and Longform Campaigns Of Undetermined Length!" and overall it gives off the vibe of a not terribly bright and profoundly stoned college sophomore trying to appear knowledgeable about music by acting like the guitar was invented in 1995 by Oasis.

#anyway 1. should i watch ep 1 of kollok tonight and 2. what booze should be involved #but uh. how shall i put this. again i'm hard stem the longest paper i've written in my life was a thesis that had a bunch of graphs in it #but i'm reading an article by the AP/TTRPG Polygon EDITOR and i'm like. this is simply not well written.

I'm trying to be rational, sensible, to learn from your... Oh, yeah. No, I love all those poems and songs they've written about being rational and sensible.

There's an asexual main character in The Imperfects!!!

ID: 4 gifs from The Imperfects season 1 episode 1. Gif 1: Abbi looks bothered as she tells Juan and Tilda "People can't help but get aroused by me". Gif 2: The three look away from each other as Tilda gestures with her flask and says "That was a long way across the stage to tell us you smell sexy". Gif 3: Abbi looks at the others again and says "It can be a little more complicated, if you're ace". Gif 4: Abbi shrugs her shoulders slightly, telling them "I'm ace". The text is colored in the asexual flag colors. END ID.

I'm in the middle of watching ep. 5 of 1000 Years Old but-

I KNEW IT! It's the quiet girl I call ghost gf isn't it?????

#now if you'll excuse me I have to go finish the episode and prepare my clown outfit in case it turns out not to be her after all 🥴 #she fed pak fruit in ep. 1! gotta be her girlfriend!! #1000 years old #1000 years old the series #bella and the blorbos #maybe after this ep. i'll finally write up another language post for this show #i've been keeping notes but there's never much or anything big and barely anyone's watching it anyway (sadly)

having many thoughts after this week's episode

#no but seriously... #peer group instructor panikkar 👀 #911 fox #9-1-1 #ravi panikkar #this is so dumb but it's all i've been thinking about since watching the ep

[sinni-ok-sessi]

I'm definitely not rewatching nirvana in fire for the, uh, sixth time. my hand just slipped and now I'm twelve episodes in and there's a scene I need to rewatch for fic reasons in the next episode so I may as well keep going

#also every time I think 'maybe I could've skipped this episode' I get surprised by one of my favourite scenes coming for my kneecaps #so I guess I live here now #and will do for the next. um. 32 episodes #in my defence i did start from ep 10. in my lack of defence that's because I've watched eps 1-10 with about three different friends recently
