I combined footage from my Detektiv Conan Blu-ray with audio from my Case Closed FUNimation DVD and made an HD English dub clip compilation for Episodes 57-58, "The Holmes Freak Murder Case."

#detective conan #case closed #video #funimation english dub script #i wasn't actually gonna post this video to tumblr because it's so long (because i have a lot of feelings about this case!) #but folks on discord liked it and i'm all about my funi dub propaganda so why not right? #the dub script here is just so fun--and does so well at making the dialogue *work* and sound natural in english #and has so much flavor! it does arguably too much in terms of creative liberties but things like #'can i really trust what a kid saw?' of the sub translation compared to 'and what were you smoking before you ran out there?' in the dub #are much more enjoyable to me #(other fun phrasings: 'the one who's always hangin' around you guys' (sub) vs. 'the little-bitty one with the great big brain!' (dub)) #(and 'of course not! the reason i applied for this tour was 'cuz i thought i might find kudo' (sub)) #(vs. 'who me? no no no. actually i signed up because i was hoping to run into jimmy here. but i guess i'm out of luck' (dub)) #(and so many more! this script just has so much character) #and while it is a shame that the dub eliminated heiji's accent i do like the changed line ('i know it's you!') #'cause you've met shinichi *once* heiji lol #but yeah this is a fun case! i'm really happy to have finally hd'd the funi dub for it :') #one of my favorite things about the funi dub is that jerry jewell (shinichi's va) voices conan's thoughts #and it's so nice to hear *shinichi* and heiji deducting together (and the way they finish each other's thoughts and vibe... it gets to me)

Hey Doll Poll

So I have a solid number of things planned for my Thatch x Reader and all its glory, but I was curious about something, and figured I'd just bust out a poll.

In Hey Doll - no matter the results of this poll - the primary antagonists are already set, and not any of the usual suspects either.

But a secondary or tertiary possibility could be fun. I'm not saying I'm going to do anything with this if the story doesn't allow for it, but!

You can vote even if you haven't yet started Hey Doll, or even if you don't mean too. If the vibes compel you to click a shiny button

then

CLICK IT.

hiiii! have you considered releasing tradewinds as a single purchase through a site like gumroad?

Hi anon!

So the reason Tradewinds was shelved and not published like 8 years ago, is because I couldn't find an Aboriginal sensitivity reader willing to read m/m with disturbing themes. I had sensitivity readers for the other side of things (like Matan and his heritage), but I kept either not finding anyone, or the one person I found took my $200 USD deposit and vanished and never spoke to me / responded to any of my emails.

As a result, I was uncomfortable distributing it anywhere broadly, even though I was relatively confident the novel isn't offensive, because I just don't know 100%.

I am a lot more confident releasing it via subscription as an exclusive novel, because the people who pay for subscription are often folks who are a) already used to my style of writing and b) generally know what to expect from me, vs. cold audiences who don't. I'm kind of kicking myself that I didn't realise that Tradewinds would make a great exclusive/paywalled release for subscription, because it means it's only ever going to find a very narrow bandwidth of readers.

Basically if I could release it for single purchase - as basically an ebook - I would have released it like 8 years ago, anon. And the reason I have actually released it this specific way is down to the fact that I'm just not really confident offering it for broader distribution.

That might change one day, if I happen to stumble across a sensitivity reader who is okay with my style of writing, who is reputable + has references (i.e. so I know I won't lose a fair chunk of money in the process, because that burned me pretty badly, not gonna lie). But until then, having Tradewinds be limited is the only way I'm comfortable releasing it at all.

Folks are more than welcome to sign up for one month, download the book (and read any other early access they want) and then leave. They can even just put 'I only wanted one thing and now I have it' in the exit survey so I know what they were there for if they want. Then it's still a single purchase (with some early access extras), and they still access the downloadable file. :)

#asks and answers #tradewinds #merchantverse #tradewinds was shelved not because i think it's a bad book #but because i wasn't comfortable going to broad distribution without a very specific kind of sensitivity reader #it was actually meant to be the series i started publishing with #long before perth shifters existed #and then i realised that through writing a highly diverse cast #i might have actually really hurt the future of the series #and had to shelve the whole thing and all the worldbuilding #i really don't regret tradewinds at all #i like the book and i love the characters #but yeah it was complicated #what i thought would be an 'easy' problem to solve was really difficult in part because #'sensitivity readers' is a very USA concept and certainly was back then #and a lot of the folks i enquired with who did offer sensitivity reading on Aboriginal Australian matters #didn't read m/m or didn't want to read anything problematic / with any disturbing themes #which i can understand #but literally reduced my pool to '0 plus that one person who took $200 USD from me at a time when i had to skip medical appts because of it #i'm sure it would be better now #but i'm also happy to offer a novel to folks who sign up to the patreon / ream account #since that is my main and primary income

#registeel #and now this guy is maybe a bit less interesting. from this standpoint‚ i mean. the eyes being just dots make it a little hard to like #feel *connected* to them when they're ffp'd‚ y'know? i feel like it's kind of a reductive angle. which is why i zoomed this one and the last #one out a bit. so you can see a bit of the rest of their body. it's maybe less funny but would it really have been funny to just see 7 red #dots on a gray background and have to read the tag to know it's registeel? i dunno. maybe. maybe it would've been. but i like this more #maybe the explanation is that i'm taking these pictures myself. i personally know all these pokémon and have to ask them if i have permissio #n to take these pictures of them. but registeel said i couldn't get too close. so we settled with this. hehe yeah that's why :) hehe :) #anyway. you now have the aegis cave theme stuck in your head #hi it's me from the present. saturday morning. in yesterday's queued post i came up with the idea of maybe doing a monotype run of a pokémon #game. i don't know which one yet but i wanted to do water-type. but i was like. maybe i'll liveblog it on my main blog. yesterday #and today i came back and saw those tags as i was queuing up today's 'mons and i was like… hell maybe i could stream it if enough folks are #interested. but if anyone is then i didn't want to wait that long for the queue to get to that post bc that's gonna post on like. august 18 #and class for my last semester of college Ever starts back up on august 21st and i don't. know if i want to start another pokémon playthroug #h that close to classes starting. especially not one where at least one (1) individual out there might be waiting for it So i put 'em here #they'll still be on that post but. they're here. just in case someone out there is chronically bored enough that that's something they'd be #interested in. y'never know there's a lot of folks here #anyway i will now queue up kricketot. see you then… or i guess see you whenever if you like send in an ask or a message or smth…

also also I know everyone likes to talk about how good of an archon Venti is because he left mondstadt to do its own thing and hey look Zhongli's doing the same now with his retirement but I also like how the story shows it isn't without flaws, with so much freedom in the city it's all too easy to take control with power, Mondstadt's people may be free but they also don't have a god to actually uphold the ideal they stand for and how personal freedoms conflict, discrimination(eg. against Eula and her clan) is allowed because the people are free to do whatever they want, the fatui really wormed their way into mondstadt during the webtoon + nearly did with Davalin bc the people of mondstadt do whatever they want so Jean is overworked and the knights are ineffective(according to Diluc), and how mondstadt might have been the least free place for the common people during the Lawrences rule despite being the region governed by the archon of freedom

Zhongli at least first tested his people were ready before retiring, Venti kinda acended, organized a bunch of celebrations for his people, then left them to have fun with their newfound freedom only interveining when things get really bad

#to be fair zhongli's only left his people for a couple of years so who knows maybe if he left them for long enough #despite honing his nation on honesty and contracts things would delve into chaos too #or a capitalistic mess and we all know what it's like to live in one of those #now if liyue didn't have plot-armour-due-to-chinese-region-in-a-chinese-game............ #my thoughts on liyue are 'god i wish its story was actually about the common folk common folk #but what i know of the chinese government is the communist party represents the common folk #so in reality it's more like common-folk-party-does-so-good-for-the-common-folk see????' #i really like liyue and its environment too! #wish they explored its flaws too and didn't present it as perfect due to china-chinese-media-relationship! #all of liyue's plots are like 'it's the time of the common folk i want to tell stories about the common people' #'(but also hold on to tradition and respect the traditions which are represented by the adepti)' #can we pls have some actual flaws like the rigidity of contracts and lack of change and rule of tradition #instead of 'contracts are good and honest and also change as the times change for the good of the people' #like yes zhongli at least tested his people before implementing that big change of stepping down #but also if the game didn't have to put china in a positive light tbh idk if he would have done that #as it might be more interesting to explore his archonhood ideal in both its good and its bad #and may have focused more on liyue's difficulting in changing and adapting to the modern tiemes #if venti is the god of freedom and is too free at times then zhongli the god of contracts is too stagnant at times #i have. complicated feelings about liyue due to my complicated feelings about being raised chinese #so mondstadt my fav for representing and giving people freedom #genshin talk

chapter 13 of my name is whatever you decide is up <3

He doesn't know how to explain that moving on, as she proposes, seems somehow synonymous with self-abandonment. He thinks of his younger self: standing at a lakeshore with his father and learning to fish, walking away from a poor man's gravestone, swearing himself into the service of a seemingly noble prince, balancing the heft of a crossbow for the first time, scrubbing at the blood beneath his nails, rationalizing the murder of a child. He cannot leave any of these past selves behind; they dwell beneath his ribcage. But perhaps that's what Taryn is saying, just in different words. They bear the weight of themselves into each new day. The art of living is finding a way to carry that weight.

#might be more than a week until the next one but i wanted to get this one out now <3 #i think this might be the longest chapter in the fic? id have to check but. it's a long one #mniwyd #tfota #taryn duarte #the folk of the air #tcp #taryn x the ghost #tfota fic

two very different kinds of siblings

#cpuk #took me FOREVER to make mac and al Feel Right to me and just as long to properly execute on the vibe i knew i wanted for goog always #but pretty happy with these! #cpuk alabaster uppercut #cpuk juniper uppercut #cpuk google #cpuk mac and cheese #you ever call a character by a nickname shortening of their name so long that when you have to type their full name again #it hits you all over again how goofy it is. anyway mack encheez would be an entirely normal ace attorney character name #ive been thinking about Al a lot lately. the difference between him in season one and season 2 is interesting to try to reconcile #because in season one its very explicit- he has beef with The Tournament Itself and that was the only reason he was here. #he was an ideological pacifist who was publically mocked and only came to fight in cpuk to prove a point #when a kid from uppercut village was getting bullied because of contestants mocking him and the village. #but when season two rolls around hes a 'cpuk veteran' who's always fighting at locals and bettering the scene. #which leads me to assume Al arrived to CPUK and went 'damn bitch y'all live like this?' and set to work on repairing the vibes #especially since uppercut village has been utterly ignored by the lore since his introduction and with ncct information... #im not sure it... meaningfully exists? its a part of his concept and self that informs his actions but has never mattered. #and as such with the schrodingers isekai way that submission to cpuk works in nccts worldbuilding #i think it might be. just as unreachable as eric is to thera/folk. something from another reality hes just not part of anymore. #in his second tournament appearance he sets a goal of not coming in last and then he's retiring and he doesnt come in last. #but then he comes back. #imagining this dude trying to get a ride back home to uppercut village and the driver needing directions bc hes got no idea where that is #and al realizing he doesnt. know how to get there either. and so the only place he has to go is back to the tournament. #and the sense of community identity so core to himself he's named after it falters and hes left alone #and so he begins to build a new sense of community for himself out of the new home he's been left with. makes friends. adopts new family. #living in honor of the memory of a village that never was. #at least not here. #juni knows the participants of cpuk as family. uncle cha cha. mama hoedown. #in a sense both al and juni are adopted from elsewhere into the family they know. #smthn smthn 'it takes a village to raise a child.' i am speculating myself into getting emotional about funny punch guy 👍

The Vampire Boys Have It Out

CW: [arguments][raised voices][combative language][references to prior emotionally and physically abusive encounters][references to non-consensual turning, trauma response, character's prior self-harming thoughts and actions]

Vincent and Lovely are discussing Porter. Vincent is very honest about his feelings towards Porter, mentioning that Sam wants to devise a "gameplan" before the summit, but Vincent doesn't want to be bothered with it, but is going to discuss with Sam anyway. Vincent, very sweetly, thanks Lovely for coming with him.

They arrive at Sam's place, Darlin's answers the door and they chat with Vincent. They get down to business quickly, with the intention of getting it all out of the way.

Sam says that Porter has a "right" to be at the summit, giving Vincent the advise to just "hash it out" with Porter before the summit even happens. Vincent doesn't think Porter is reasonable, insulting in him the process but also mentioning that Porter "tried to strangle" Vincent after Vincent stood up to Porter about Porter's (seemingly) abusive language. Sam quickly informs Vincent, with love and respect, that Vincent was just as much a pain to deal with as Porter was. Vincent agues this point, but Sam isn't having it, giving it to Vincent straight.

Sam asks why Vincent hates Porter. Vincent says that Porter made his "life goal" to make Vincent miserable from the first day the two met. As Vincent is going on his tangent about Porter...there's a knock at the door.

It's Porter. Sam's given them both no choice, having told neither of them that the other would be there. The two are imminently bickering (at the least), and Sam is doing his best to navigate it. Darlin steps in briefly to advise Porter not to snap at Sam, and Porter agrees.

Vincent and Porter discuss why Porter has returned to Dahlia, and the conversation becomes an argument quickly. Porter acknowledges that they have clashing personalities, and that there isn't much to be done about that. We learn more details about their difficult "relationship," and that Porter seemed to have thrown the balance of the "family dynamic" off from the moment he joined the Clan. Vincent and Porter argue further, Sam eventually gets involved to tell both of them off, because to be honest, they're both acting like spoiled children.

The argument continues. And Porter says a lot. And Sam tells Vincent to set the record "straight," and for some reason Vincent doesn't want to.

Porter keeps going, and Vincent finally gets broken down, until finally his damn breaks too and he "sets the record straight." And Porter apologizes to Vincent. And then Porter snaps at Sam, they argue a little more.

Lovely punches Porter in the face. Porter says he "deserves" it.

Vincent half-apologizes to Porter, but drives his original point home. Porter and Vincent are honest with each other about their feelings, past and present. Porter half-apologizes as well.
