#alt with eyes hidden under the cut
#cofagrigus
#their eyes are shiny. made of plastic. so they're looking a little bright. apologies for this
#so. generally when i have quarrels about the pronunciation of a pokémon's name (since i don't watch anipoké)
#where someone else and i pronounce the same pokémon's name differently. which doesn't happen very often‚ since typically i talk about
#pokémon mostly entirely in text. because most of the communication about things i like happens in text. and the pokémon games
#are not voice acted. so pronunciation of their names is sparse and sometimes limited to anipoké but even they're inconsistent i think
#but whenever i have quarrels about the pronunciation of a name. someone else and i pronounce it differently. i go to pokédex 3d pro
#on the 3ds. because every time you go to a pokémon's dex entry‚ the pokédex guy says their name out loud
#i basically treat this as gospel for how to pronounce pokémon names. i've been proven wrong a lot but i've also been proven right a lot
#and this guy. oooohhh this guy. before pokédex 3d pro i pronounced this guy's name as though the F-slur was right in the middle
#only recently did i learn that it kinda sounds like “grievous‚” [kʰɐ.fə.'gɻiː.gəs]
#at least. that's how the pokédex 3d pro guy says it
#whereas i had been pronouncing it [kʰow.'fæg.ɻɪ.gəs]. so. you can see the issue that arises with that pronunciation
#a lot of these pronunciations that i have to double-check just live in my head. and it's only when i say them out loud that i realize
#how i'm saying them. like how i pronounce “centiskorch” as [sɑ̃.t͡si̠.skoʁʃ] for some fucking reason. my brain sees it and is like
#yeah that's? a french word? even though it looks nothing like one
#i also tend to pronounce “grumpig” as ['gʀʊm.pɪç] because of the “ig” at the end. i guess. german instinct
#of course these are pronunciations i never say out loud but the first time i Have to say this pokémon's name out loud i'll go
#oh yeah! it's not pronounced like that. i should probably not say that
#and then i do not. just a fun little story about my twisted and fucked up mind. a little peek into my enigmatic brainspace
#jesus christ these are some of the longest tags i've ever written. i'm gonna stop
