the way his words are so carefully curated, not only for the sake of precision, but so it fits a rhythm that is breathable for a slow speaker.

to say exactly what he means in a short sentence, with recurring pauses and a clear pronounciation. to prefer periods(.) over commas(,).

not to be needlessly verbose – much the opposite; because this vocabulary serves the purpose of clarity, organization and to hold the attention of the listener.

#talking to the wall #wd gaster #gaster #undertale #deltarune #and also because he's toothless so it takes an extra effort to make words sound correctly ahahaha (a headcanon) #another day of speech patterns being very important to me in terms of characterization #otherwise i will have trouble imagining it is this character saying a line #if we had canon wingdings read some fanfiction lines of his out loud we would sleep on the spot #and that is why these mannerisms are so important when fleshing him out! #there is just not enough fanfiction giving it enough attention to portray this OTL #to speak little yet say a lot #i like to imagine he is a very visual thinker and it adds to the thoughtfulness of his words #also re: wingdings as a visual code. #man who speaks in hands and whatnot #wistful sighing. damn papyrus you had it good when he would read you bedtime stories #this guy writes in hieroglyphs

me when my attempts to tear down a system that is built off of violence and grabs for power stem from a place of disgust and overwhelming guilt despite my best intentions and instead continue to perpetuate the cycle of violence in a bloody attempt to instate peace

can i be honest.. can i be real... i dont like the most recent ig 2010s ish cartoon style at all.. everything tries to look like steven universe and its so ugly sorry.. </3

but now that im trying to think on why i dont like it, i think its the lack of any sorta bold or interesting lineweight. snorkkkkk mimimimi...

#i also dont like the Netflix Anime style (v*ltron and whatnot) and yeah i think it suffers from the same thing. thin lines #txt

me and some guildies finally did the lonely tower tonight—anybody have any idea what location this could be? potential teaser for somewhere in the next expansion?

#gw2 #gw2 spoilers #soto spoilers #its so big and obvious that i'm ASSUMING they wanted people to look at it. but i haven't seen people talk about it #it just doesn't look like ANYWHERE we've been to already #my ONLY two guesses are that this is either somewhere in janthir or this is another realm in the mists. both are Interesting #i'm kinda leaning towards janthir based on all of the hints they've dropped recently and the general color palette lines up. #and we know there's some lake on the isle that the wizards use in rituals and whatnot. maybe??? perhaps??????? #but if its janthir i have questions

Tell me please, did Ice ever get to see "A Chorus Line" again but this time not alone? I just need Ice to share in his gay love for broadway.

unfortunately no.

#sometimes you make sacrifices for the people you love #& sometimes that sacrifice is making a blood pact never to drag him to musical theatre productions #also a chorus line is good but it’s not THAT good #it’s just ok lol #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #icemav #this is one of those plot points that’s pure self interest & wish fulfillment on me the authors part #sarah goes to new york because I SAID SO #and blah blah blah Val at juilliard & whatnot

I just need to vent. Someone made a podfic of one of my fics a short while back. Yesterday, they told me they were monetizing their channel and asked permission to put ads on their podfic of my story. I'm very glad they asked permission, so I could say no, but all the same, I can't help but feel so angry. I would never go to someone and say, "Hey, do you mind if I make money reading aloud your story that you spent months and months slaving over, while you don't make a single cent? Do you mind if I throw ads on this thing you poured your soul into, turning your love letter to fandom into another cog in the capitalist money machine?" I just imagine someone listening to my description of Shouto fighting Bakugou and listening to him bare his soul about his toxic behaviors—I scene I tried to craft with such care—and just before Izuku kisses Shouto's black eye, an ad for a Kia plays.

Part of me is wondering if I'm overacting—I know some people would say, 'it's just fanfiction, calm down'—but a larger part of me is like, "The absolute gall! YOU making money using MY heart???"

#i'm just #ahajahdjshhwjsjd #i feel like an ass complaining in a public space #but it's also not like i'm a huge account or anything #i'm just so mad!!! #and i feel like i shouldn't be because they did ask permission and didn't fuss when i declined #when they asked permission to do the fic i felt really complimented #but now it feels like it was all just a scheme to make money down the line #did they even like my fic or did they just notice it was a little bit popular? #and i hate that i let myself stew over these kinds of things #this is literally a stranger making me mad with a sentence #that's dumb #i might delete this later #i just needed to scream into the void #get it off my chest and whatnot

(New DW 2023 spoilers) I'm finally getting around to watching DW and the Meep's pronouns scene is both equal parts wholesome, as I get both euphoria and comfort from knowing the Doctor would respect my pronouns, and hysterical because why/how would this alien know to say "my chosen pronoun is the definite article"

#I tend to cringe a shoehorned attempts at representation in an endeavor to seem With The Kids and whatnot #but I was so caught off-guard at this line that I can't even be mad at it #We stan the Meep #(Do we? I haven't finished the episode yet) #DW #dw spoilers #doctor who #doctor who 60th anniversary #The doctor says “he or she or they?” which such softness and kindness I can't illuminate enough how comforting it is for no reason at all

Hey uh I need you to go more in depth about the "the characters know they're in a musical" thing because that is an insane take I've never heard about any musical in my entire life

hello i will do so and relish in it

okay to begin with this only applies to the stage production. both movies we are just watching what’s happening in real time imo. they have no idea wtf is going on look at them.

when the stage production opens damian has a whole little spiel like “good morning freshmen! welcome to high school!” and then cautionary tale happens and blah blah blah etc.

it’s also worth noting that. mean girls is objectively not a good musical. is it my favorite yes will i shank anyone outside the fandom who says this 100% BUT if you compare it to something like the prom with a similar setting/similar vague concept it’s really not. not great.

BUT i think this was kind of weirdly intentionally done.

again in the beginning during it roars and whatnot the animals that walk by are clearly just people in costumes and i think that’s also on purpose. the zebras have paintbrushes for manes for pete’s sake (like janis hello???)

SO i personally think that what we’re seeing is a musical that damian and janis co-wrote. i think damian did most of it and janis helped. she wrote i’d rather be me and things like that

i think it’s bad because it was written and produced by actual teenagers themselves. i am 100% convinced that they are seniors acting out the previous year as a sort of welcome to high school assembly for the incoming freshmen. mr. duvall said they could either do something creative to tell their story as an example of why Bullying Is Bad ™ or have detention for the entirety of the next year and they did this. the others have to act in it for the same reason and janis and damian just wanted to.

they’re acting as themselves and fully self aware the entire time. it feels like it’s happening in real time because it’s only been a few months since it did and the memories are fresh for all of them.

karen is the only one who breaks the fourth wall (except janis and damian at the top of the show and top of the second act) for GOOD REASON!! SHES DONE IT ALL BEFORE!!!!!

the reason janis and damian are the sort of narrators and the audience’s window into the show is because they’re the ones who are putting it on and producing it.

anyway in conclusion i fully believe they’re aware they’re in a musical and this is all happening like in their school gym or auditorium lmao

#janis did set design #regina’s mom made the costumes/they just. wore their own clothes #damian wrote the book #he and janis went roughly halfsies on the songs #the screenshots of the tweets and ig posts and whatnot are real #etc etc #kevin also only agreed to participate bc they let him sing #like let’s do this thing was the bargaining chip they had to get him to do it #regina actually agreed immediately bc she gets to be a bond villain #karen doesn’t understand what they’re doing but she’s the best at it #cady is thrilled with the whole thing she memorized all her lines on the first day of rehearsal #gretchen just didn’t want to be left out and she likes her song #ms norbury is secretly sad she doesn’t get her own song but she’s just proud of her kids #and the reason some of the like ‘haha teenagers and their technology’ jokes don’t totally land #is bc duvall and norbury made edits and they just had to go with it or get detention

okay first marwa literally getting unmade into freddie and basically ceasing to exist, THEN guillermo being so distraught at seeing freddie and freddie2 dating.....

why the fuck was this episode so upsetting lmao ????

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #why. #please bring marwa back and have her be a current time astronomer like she deserves #like how fucking great would it be for one of the characters to be like 'oh marwa?' #'she left to play with some telescope or whatever' and turns out shes like #a scientist analyzing data from jwst #PLEASE I BEG #her character intro and astronomy background lined up perfectly for the jwst first pics #i know its been pre filmed and whatnot but it would have made Me happy
