#flowed so smoothly

[soporificshoebill]

Guests are fun, but I could always listen to hours of just Shayne and Amanda chatting about their creative processes and waxing poetic about comedy and sharing details about how they feel about improv and comedy and how they prepare and think.

Big shoutout to James Cheek for making the English script of the TGCF Season 2 dub as gay as possible

Another shoutout to the dubbing team for choosing the best VA’s for it

#yeyarants #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #tgcf donghua #tgcf season 2 #mxtx tgcf #mxtx #mo xiang tong xiu #ok but damn? I love the dub so much #ok I’ll be honest biases aside #the first season was alright #I was very biased on Xie Lian’s and Fu Yao/Mu Qing’s VA’s #who absolutely carried #but there was definitely a huge improvement of the script flowing more smoothly in this season #and it’s only been 3 episodes #so far #but can we talk about Jun Wu’s and Pei Ming’s??? #do not get me started on their voices omg #wind master’s VA’s as well! #also LQQ sounds so much like a himbo #they did everything right #ok but who voices Yin Yu in episode 3 #someone tell me I need to know IMMEDIATELY #they need to cast Qi Rong right #I know we haven’t even heard his original voice yet #but I need it

unfortunately i am thinking about haze dogs again. nothing concrete. just vague shapes. connor in the iron dog mask. the dogs themselves stalking the town. that party scene that eludes me. connor drunkenly falling into the fountain pool.

#been thinking about what i want my writing to feel like since how it tickles my brain has always been what i enjoy the most #there is nothing like the flow of a paragraph into another paragraph into dialogue into another paragraph #a lot of my editing process is about making sure everything flows smoothly and it's one of the puzzles i enjoy the most while writing #but yeah i've been thinking about the stories i love #especially fresh of actually communicating my feelings on the girl from the other side i'm looking at. simplicity #about things like the team ico games and how ueda “designs by subtraction” and the way that shapes the atmosphere of his games #nothing captures me more than the unexplained #actually doing good by my blog description. raised in a context of magical realism 🙏 #normalised oddities. big empty spaces that feel as if they have been hollowed out. the unexplained intentions of a creature #a lot of stress comes in when a story gets away from him and i spiral into complexities that muddy everything up #i cannot stress the pages upon pages of me problem solving things probably no one will wonder about #so i like the idea of design by subtraction. i wonder how i can put that into a book #pia.txt #( wip ) haze dogs

Adventure Time is so funny because when characters are in the middle of extremely serious and sad situations they’ll suddenly exclaim “This is totes klombunkies!!” And somehow the audience understands what that just meant

#adventure time #I’ve not watched the spin-offs yet but I assume they’re the same #In all seriousness I do like the series use of slang and language #like it’s so silly but flows so smoothly #this post is #inspired by Betty (the episode) where Simon immediately started dropping slang the second he regained awareness #(I cried at that episode)

[buckttommy]

Going to preface this by saying that this post actually is not meant to be mean or slanderous toward Kristen so if that's your beat, go find someone else to share it with. But here's the thing: it is very clear to me that Kristen has profound respect for Buck and Eddie's dynamic. As friends. Multiple times, she's made it very clear that she views their relationship through a strictly platonic lens. She's even said, paraphrasing, that the will scene (for example) was drawn from her life since her mom (I think?) made her best friend her legal guardian at one point. Kristen very clearly respects who/what Buck and Eddie are to each other, and she treats the intimacy of their dynamic with the gravitas it deserves, but she seems very invested in keeping them platonic, so I don't really trust her to give us canon!buddie. Honestly, with the way she feels about Buddie as romantic partners, I'm not even sure I'd want her to give us canon!buddie.

Now, I know there's the added layer of misdirection; she's never going to come out-right and say Buck and Eddie are soulmates on a crash course to each other, and I get that. I wasn't born yesterday, I know how PR works. But I think it's also fair to reserve a hefty dose of doubt considering nothing in her speech has given any indication that she even likes the idea of Buck and Eddie together as romantic partners.

I'm happy to be wrong. Honestly, despite all appearances, I'm not even really saying I don't believe Buddie is going canon because, to me, that still seems like the logical conclusion to both of their stories. But with Kristen at the helm, if at one point I was 99.9% sure of canon!buddie, I now sit at a solid 50% sure. I'd love to see it, I still want to see it, and we still might see it... but I'm going to keep a big dose of doubt kept in my pocket just in case.

#jack.txt #An anon asked me a couple months ago what I thought the differences between Tim/KR's styles were and it's taken me all this time to piece #my thoughts together. In all honesty I still don't know if I can fully articulate my thoughts because they exist more as ideas than they do #as fully flushed out concepts but one thing I can say concretely is that - regardless of what other problems Tim might have - he knows how #to weave a story together expertly. When Tim tells a story - even if the narrative is fractured initially - he always manages to piece it #back together in a very cohesive way. #I don't see that same attention to detail in Kristen's writing. Which isn't even to say that her stories are bad! She *does* manage to #weave overarching plot points and details together but not with the same meticulous attention. I think that's the thing I miss most about #Tim's imprint on 9-1-1. He's so detail-oriented from the largest details to the smallest and it shows with how smoothly the story flows. #Another difference between Tim and Kristen's styles is that - because of Tim's attention to detail - he is able to weave seamlessly between #both lighthearted and heavy storylines. My guess is because - to him - both the light and the dark exist as part of the same story #(which - to be clear - it IS all part of the same story). #With Kristen there's an almost visible and palpable distinction between 'this is heavy' and 'this is light' with no unifying cohesion to #unite the two as being apart of the same story. #I know this must sound like I hate 6A; I don't. I really really don't. Every week with my weewoos and my firefam is a good week for me #and the criticisms I have this season do not even come close to outweighing the things I've enjoyed. #But as I sit here and reflect on Kristen and Tim as well as the direction of the show #(all of this before 6B airs of course) #this is where I am so far. #I love 9-1-1. I miss my blorbos. I'm ready for them to come back lol

YOOOOOOO WE FUCKIN DID IT!!!! YEAHHH!! We slayed SOOO well!! EVERYONE DID!! The other sections were SO FUCKING GOOD i LOVED it!!! And like, we won first place or whatever i didnt care about that really BUT WE ALL DID GREAT!

Anyways, just got home from my pal's birthday party (more like Hang Out at the mall, we ate out) it was AWESOME! First time inside a Starbucks, and first order ALL ON MY OWN! (HELL YEAH RELIGIOUS REBELLION!!)

#rennikorambles #i dont actually KNOW if its rebellion since. i ordered java chip frappucino... and i dunno if that has coffee or anythin- #BUT EITHER WAY im so glad my first time inside a starbucks is with friends <333 #i lost ALL my money <33333 #worth it #i was SO jumpy and excited the whole damn time. just shows how hyped i am around my friends <3 i love those idiots so much #after eating at pizza hut we went to an arcade and I got TWO keychain plushies from the claw machines (SLAY) #one of them i gave as a bday gift to my pal LMAO the other i kept <33 a little wolfy!!! #and then after that they went to starbucks and YEAHHH it was so fun #and then we went to the department store and immediately went to the toy section (which includes games like video games on the ps4/5 etc) #those idiots got One Piece playing cards. nerdddss <33 (me staring longingly at Persona 5 Royal on PS4 for a discounted price. help) #(I CANT GET IT IM NOT A GAMER IM BAD AT GAMES AND AND) #anyways #as for the musical MAN im just so proud. in my opinion the other's did WAY better than our section in terms of song and choreography #but the only one-up we had on them was the fact ours flowed so smoothly with nearly no mistakes #they kept having long pauses when transitioning to the next scene‚ whilst we specifically focused and practiced smooth transitions #thats probably why we had less time for dance choreo and stuff... but either way!!! just SO proud it made my theater heart so happy #and! i learned something about the actual story of El Fili! mAN ITS SO TRAGIC WTF MAN.... MANNNNNN. BRUH... #anyway <333 ALIVE NOW!!! FREE!!!

Man I love Cyber Sleuth and Hacker’s Memory, but I wish the translators had done a better job on the chat conversations, half the time they make absolutely no sense in English and it’s really off-putting. It’s such a shame because this is a great duo of games with a good story and fun gameplay that is dragged down by really sloppy translations. I’d expect this level of poorly done translation from a game in the 90’s not one nowadays. It’s just lazy looking on the part of Bandai Namco. They can do better. And this game deserved better.

#Digimon #digimon cyber sleuth #the chats just feel slapped together like they didn’t give the translators the full context of the conversations or something #to make the conversations flow in a way that makes sense from one post to the next #and then there’s posts where even the single post itself doesn’t make sense in English it’s just grammatically off and confusing #they just didn’t bother trying to make it translate smoothly into English at all #it makes me so sad this game could shine so brightly if it’s translation wasn’t so slapped together #its* fucking auto correct always adds the apostrophe

Reading Interlude as a Sol fictive has been an absolute experience. If you had tacked onto the end of Begin without saying anything I'd probably have thought nothing of it, it matches so well

Sol to Sol communication... Comrades, you and I...

Real talk though thank you so much!!! I appreciate it a lot. It's very difficult to judge the quality of one's own writing... So sometimes I wonder a little how it compares to Kazuya Negishi's work for Begin since, even though I did a translation of Begin, I don't have an original text this time for Interlude to guide my words or the plot. It's tricky!

#asks #Translating and writing original fan works are such similar yet such different skills... #I feel like working on Interlude has improved the flow of my JP>EN translations though #My more recent translations seem much less mechanical than my early ones which followed the JP text maybe a bit too closely haha... #Japanese into English can only be so accurate. Since parts will never be 100% what the JP text says might as well use those- #-accuracy sacrifices to write a translation that reads smoothly instead

[lockandkeyhyena]

the first rough pass at thumbnailing/boarding is done!! i’d super appreciate any input/suggestions/changes/etc anyone has to offer!!

#wanna make sure it flows super smoothly and properly evokes a 90/80s anime feel yaknow #so like #eviscerate me lol #yeen art #ashstar au

#i wont lie they lost me a bit in the first song but fully won me back with the klezmer inspiration #this feels like a journey across a gorgeous valley #super delicate and flows so smoothly from place to place #the music pulling inspiration from different countries so seamlessly and blending them together #chefs kiss #Sissoko Segal Parisien Peirani #music #Bandcamp

[inkandgeese]

i love when i remember why i love to discovery write. like yes this is a process that works for me and it has for years. yes i still doubt myself immensely

#just. ahh!! i figured out a sequence of scenes that flows really smoothly together and i'm SO excited #jade and elliot get to burn things and then be co dependent <33 i'm so excited #my drafting process is a mess but it works for me ok #my process is literally. write the random scene ideas that pop into my head and frantically jump around like a mad man #and then i kind of slowly fill in the gaps #for some reason this process works for me and i've just accepted it at this point #if i try to outline it just. doesn't work. like i need to be on the page to know what needs to happen #and if i try to write in order i just feel SO trapped #this does result in fairly messy first drafts but i would far rather a messier first draft if it means the draft exists in the first place

Continually frustrated by my attempts to make a cohesive playlist for Shafan because I can’t settle on a single sound for them. You can’t just put Tom Petty, Glen Campbell, Modest Mouse, and Gotye on the same fuckin playlist it doesn’t WORK.

#it needs to FLOW RIGHT #theres gotta be a THEME #shits bouncin all over the spectrum and doesn’t make a damn bit of sense #i keep trying to jam these puzzle pieces together because like #Because Gentle on my Mind is such a perfect snapshot of shafan’s brain #BUT SO IS KING RAT. #and if you play those one after the other you get musical whiplash #listen when i make a playlist it isnt just a collection of songs i relate to a character #it’s supposed to be a coherent experience you can listen to from beginning to end #the songs transition into one another smoothly #the mood is consistent or follows a gradual curve #and it all sounds related like you could find all these songs on the same film soundtrack #and Shafan reliably foils my ability to do this
