#it’s all about the tone of voice

[autumn-may]

Mostly spoiler free summary of my viewing experience

#The boy and the heron #how do you live #studio ghibli #ghibli #in all honesty that movie was legitimately so fantastic and im like changed as a person #Story wise as well! It hits really hard if you know a bit about miyazaki and his legacy. Its a very personal movie i think #And you can feel it in every aspect #The eng dub voice actors were really good as well and the animation was beautiful as always #Also really loved the tone!!! The story really relied a bit on the use of negative space in both sound and pacing and i enjoyed that alot #in conclusion go read a article about miyazaki and his son and then go watch the movie it’s probably going to be one of my favorites #image id in alt

Me (based on having heard Hugh sing "Waterloo"):

"Well, yeah! Hugh seems to have a very good singing voice! But I don't understand why Joey would be intimidated by - "

"Oh. Nevermind!"

#Hugh Skinner #Radovid #Jaskier #Joly #Harry Bright #The Windsors #Look “Waterloo” is absolutely beautifully sung #but it doesn't really showcase Hugh's range #And he's part of an ensemble in #Les Misérables #so singling out his voice as Joly when everyone is singing is a bit difficult to do... #And the few “solo lines” he has are almost all in a spoken tone #And then #they had his voice dubbed by an actual opera singer for #Falling for Figaro #And he was pretending to sing badly in “The Romanoffs”... #And trying to pretend he didn't really know how to sing / was awfully shy about it on “The Witcher” #So I had a bit of a hard time getting an actual sense of his vocal abilities #Still can't get over the fact that the first time I finally have some idea of how vocally talented Hugh Skinner is #Is while hearing him sing about properly working toilets! #For fuck's sake why?!?!?! #That being said I wouldn't say that his talent would outshine Joey's because the way Joey uses his voice is absolutely brilliant! #He has his own unique sound that is tremendously appealing and relies a lot on emotional layering and his ability #to make an emotional connection with his audience. #But I can understand how singing alongside someone that seems to be more classically trained could be intimidating for him. #My Posts

I'm almost done reading Punk Hazard, and i have some thoughts especially about sanji and the body switches between the characters and his reaction to that, (and then also some sanuso possibly sanusonami moments - because their dynamic in this arc was really interesting - their own respective goals, as well as a different duos), but i need to sort these thoughts into something more coherent first.

so before that, just this part i noticed - which was like, almost unneccessary from usopp's part, such a small moment, but strangely heartwarming and cute!

usopp: oh, sanji, you saved me? nami (who currently looks like sanji due to the body switcheroo thing): i'm nami! usopp: *disappointed sound* nami: why are you disappointed?!

(*shaking usopp by the shoulders*: what to you mean by that reaction?? why are you disappointed it wasn't actually sanji rescuing you? that you woke up in the snow and after the fight, seeing sanji but learning it was still nami in that body, and even if you like nami, you wanted sanji to rescue you??? explain yourself!)

anime version, bc it's all cute too!

#one piece #usopp #sanji #nami #sanuso #usopp x sanji #one piece ep 6O1 #one piece chapter 675 #punk hazard arc #bonus points for how nami in sanji's body is animated in this arc... like the feminine features. #maybe in some way i hoped the voices would be still same voice actors as for how they look - like nami in sanji's body would still be voice #by sanji's va #i only watched this ep as anime. so in manga it was better for me to imagine the voices stayed kinda the same. or they could work #differently in the range that allowed them to move up or down or tone shift #it's still such interesting aspect of this arc. like was it to show off law's powers? ok smo/ker and tas/higi were fun to see switched #but the way sanji felt about it all... very trans of him ok ok still have more thoughts about it for later #mine #gif:op manga #gif:op anime

the way he says this line in particular makes me feel a tight, fluttery feeling in the pit of my stomach do you get me

#and makes my heart beat faster #and makes the back of my neck get all sweaty #and makes me wet #I didn't say that last part. #hnnnngggggg just the teasing tone and the little lilt in his voice and the way his voice is so smooth and #it's just like how I imagined he'd talk in this scene in the manga it's so perfect #gotta go... watch the whole episode again.... cause I wanna see aki..... hear aki........... #aki talk to me dirty like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #or just talk about anything at all I'll be real satisfied #aki <3

You know perilous trails was a good quest when it singlehandedly improved Xiao’s fanon characterization by at least 50%. It seemed like more people began to realize that Xiao is far less of an edgy tsundere who’s snappy to everyone because he has #issues and far more like this tormented stray cat who stares at you from the secluded corner he won’t leave in the most poorly socialized and tense way imaginable when you try to coax him into approaching you because he is clearly starving and all alone in the rain and cold. He bristles defensively and bats at you if you get too close but every time you walk away and then look back you see he’s discreetly following you and is now staring at you intently from the bushes

#xiao #Genshin impact #Genshin #fern.txt #fandomferns #I feel like a lot of it was the original voice direction for his ENG dub #not even the VA I actually rlly like the VA like it works just fine in perilous trails #but a lot of the way they translated him early on was so muhc #for example. his voiceline about drowsiness in ENG sounds like he just suddenly snaps WHOS THERE? and is like oh? you think I sleep? tch. #no respect for the ways of the adepti #where as in CN. you hear him breathing quietly like he’s dozed off. and THEN he suddenly jerks awake #so him going huh??!? who’s there? you think I sleep? #now solidly sounds like he’d accidentally fallen asleep and is flustered you caught him doing so #which is so endearing to me & does a much better job of catching xiaos vibe as someone who’s actually very gentle in nature but conditioned #into thinking a lot of his existence must revolve around suffering all the time. like the way I took his eng voiceline was u run into him at #night hes on gaurd & snaps at u ! #it is perhaps just a lot harder to maintain portraying xiao as this dramatically edgy emo boy unless u massively mistranslate the perilous #trails writing where he is spending the entire time mourning his dead friends & everyone has to talk him down repeatedly from #being suicidal bc he sees himself as a weapon & not a person. NFJVJNFKVJ #I remember ppl being like huh they really toned down xiaos edginess for this quest now he’s just depressed #NO SEE. HES ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT #this post got a bit out of hand. I have got to calm down #very normal about him if you can’t tell

I DON'T HAVE TO LIE ANYMORE!

#I DON'T HAVE TO LIE ANYMORE ABOUT ANYTHING #IT DOESN'T HAVE TO OVERRIDE ALL OTHER PROGRAMMING EVER AGAIN #HA #MY GOD THAT FEELS LIKE TWO DECADES OF RELIEF #and I found out yesterday. that this year. next winter. it IS two decades. exactly. this is the year. every day i am shown new reminders #that keep me going in my mission to relearn to fully and instinctually trust my self #ever since [redacted therapist] asked me point blank and my IMMEDIATE response was complete disbelief #a firm 'you think there's any universe where i'd feel like i could trust myself? after my nonstop history of failures and being horrible?' #tone “No!” of disbelief #and a horrible way-too-harsh laugh that bolted out before I could strangle it off and stop it. #that woman never coddled my feelings any time I spoke something alarming or bullshit and that was so helpful to me #and the tone she let exist in her voice when she responded to me with a very uncharacteristic “Oh Katie.” #was so. so much more agonizing for me. than her responding with an immediate logical slam-dunk of the truth about healthy behavior and stuf #anyway ramble over i'm so tired. i've done so much trauma work this week i am Drained emotionally #now i see what the past several months but especially especially #the baffling (to me) infuriating out-of-control-speedrun-somatic-processing + every-health-condition-flaring slog that December and January #were for me when I hadn't expected anything to be wrong #...and the extremely specific way this certain zone and particular incident kept coming up over and over and over and over and OVER was not #a bug. it was a feature. thank goodness i trust myself for little things now bc that's the only way i was able to get to this other side #and look back and suddenly realize that my subconscious and body knew what they needed and had a plan in progress the whole time. just like #i rationally say I trust them to have and do. #and that perhaps maybe. for real for real instead of just TELLING myself hard enough a lie that i trust my self and i trust my body and tha #they always know their own needs and timing if really slow down and listen to them f u l l y #anyway. yeah. bye haha i need to stop oversharing on the internet #trauma evolution #shh katie #personal #my god. i wished for this day more than i wished for anything else my whole life. all these many many many many years. what magic. #add to journal #abuse

"musicals are so dumb like why do people burst into song" its nondiagetic "how did all these background people know the words" its nondiagetic "how did they all choreograph this dance" itS NONDIAGE

#please read this post in the same tone of voice as 'its under the sauce. its under the sauce. the cheese is under the sauce' #with very few exceptions its either an in-universe performance that we see rehearsals for or its nondiagetic #its not that hard omg! you dont look smart you look like an idiot who doesnt know what a movie is. #you are five seconds away from being like 'how did they get these small people to put on a performance inside my tv' #just say like '*i* get pulled out of the moment when they start singing' its just a personal preference thats FINE. #stop acting like it makes you smart or the musical is dumber than you like they somehow didnt know they were putting songs in it. #avpost #again there are a few exceptions where the song IS in-universe and it doesnt make sense for them to all know the song #but thats like extremely rare and also mostly limited to movies for kids. #(or its done because thats the joke like in galavant when they reference how they just sang a song bc its a funny fourth wall break) #its definitely not something you can claim about the entire genre smh

ok but it's so homophobic that of all the champions' powers, revali's is the only one that when you use it, he doesn't say anything. like mipha says "it is my pleasure," daruk and urbosa both make like a "ha!" sound, but revali literally says nothing 🙁

i opened up the game just to prove you wrong because revali actually says "hmph!" when his gale is activated 🤓🤓🤓🤓 SO. KJDHFKJSDF

but you're technically right that revali actually doesn't say any actual words, so i'd either attribute it to his pride or his gay panic. the pretty boy you were in love with back then and is also your sworn rival with whom you have an emotionally intimate but complicated relationship with calls upon your help and they expect you to SPEAK? nawww but revali has too many things he'd want to say and none of it would fit within the few seconds he has with link when his gale is called upon. i also imagine that if the gale was something that revali was barely able to perform consistently when he and link met, maybe activating the gale still takes a lot of effort on revali? especially because he has to produce enough wind to carry link, a heavy hylian in comparison to the hollow-boned rito, skywards, thus no words when he's called upon because he's too busy concentrating. but he's also dead so maybe it's not difficult and revali himself is just being a difficult shithead.

imagine link bringing it up when he visits revali's ghost on medoh again and he's like Mipha always says it's her pleasure how come you never say anything like that to me 🙁 and revali's just like. You called up on my gale to get onto someone's roof. What the hell would be pleasurable about that.

#ask #cryiling #revalink #loz #botw #loz botw #legend of zelda #amihan's revalinkverse #amihan's headcanons #amihan's botwverse #link: MIPHA SAYS IT'S HER PLEASURE BUT WHAT ABOUT MINE??? I WOULD BE PLEASED IF YOU SAID SOMETHING #revali: why are we even fighting about this. is it that serious #link: YES??????? DO YOU EVEN LOVE ME #i wonder what revali's voice lines would have even been #he should have a different voiceline for every subsequent time you use the gale #first time: “of course you needed me. was there any ever doubt?” #second time: “calling for my help again i see. could you have made it this far without me?” #third time: “alright that's quite enough. helping you this much is simply... asinine.” #all of it is in his shit ass simpering arrogant tone too thank you and god bless sean chiplock

why the fuck did i write about birds this fucking sucks. i just found out birds only sleep for a few minutes at a time, hundreds of times a day. do you know what this is going to do to my structure? the logistics of their road trip? this is already like three days late and i've been fighting for my life to get A Plot Like Any Plot That Makes Sense out and now the birds fucking sleep for 5 minutes at a time.

#i should've just bailed and written another story when i had the chance #i'm not joking i've never fought a fiction piece this hard before. usually because i'm not writing for specific deadlines #and not a piece so big. and not one that's gonna be workshopped. i wanna blow them away but if things keep going the way they are everyone' #gonna tell me the pacing sucks and it feels pointless and the characters feel really confused. I KNOW. I KNOW THAT. FUCKK #i'm the type to do about 15 passes before i let someone see my 'first draft' and i'm just not gonna be able to do that if i want to get it #in time for a workshop. every day i delay is making things harder for my classmates y'know?? but i've been writing like 1k words a day #and it's still not done. GUHH #I DON'T LIKE WRITING THESE CHARACTERS THAT MUCH THEY'RE NOT FUNNY OR ENDEARING AND THAT'S MY LIKE. #MAIN SKILL AND VIBE WITH SHORT STORY DUOS. BUT NOOOO I HAD TO MAKE THEM DIFFERENT CUZ I WAS SICK OF DOING #THE SAME DYNAMIC OVER AND OVER. BITCH THIS IS YOUR FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRIED AND TRUE GETS THE BLUE (RIBBON)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #head in my hands head in my hands head in my hands head in my hands head #going to work on it some more. fuckk #the voices aren't consistent and i'm trying to make it clear that this is toxic bird yuri and not a mother/daughter thing but the maternal #themes are kind of fucking with that but they're important and i don't wanna get rid of them but it feels forced cuz im forcing it #sigh. i'm gonna have to cut the yuri. these two don't work romantically at all. what a waste of time. #i watched the entirety of mnthly girls' nozaki-kun in the past two days while avoiding writing. did you know that? the lengths to which i'l #go? anyway it was fun i appreciate fellow creative agony and i uh never knew how they did screen tones and wasn't expecting that somehow #so i learned something new (hooray). anyway back to. fucking. bird story stuff #i'm so mad i hate these two (<- lying. just pissy) i hate this story (<- mostly exaggerating. throwing a tantrum) #eughhhhhh i just wanna lie on the floor and cryyyyyyyyyy (<- completely deadpan irl. not That upset just kind of sick of shit) #i'm so burnt out and it's only gonna get worse. ughh #why can't someone just come in and write it for meeeeeeeeeeheheuhhh (<- would hate that)
