Someone made an angsty theory on the super mario bros movie tv tropes. That instead or their dad tbinkie hes bringing luigi down,that perhaps in some way he coddles luigi?

I dunno... Mario's Dad doesn't strike me as a coddler. If he coddled Luigi he wouldn't have been so blasé about Uncle Tony pulling food out of his hands during dinner, and wouldn't have had such an overwhelmingly positive reaction to Luigi helping Mario fist fight a giant fire breathing turtle monster.

Now, there is a chance he's softer on Luigi compared to Mario, but Mario's clearly the one leading the charge in their shaky business endeavors.

#askbox #anon #mario movie #mario headcanons #stupid is what stupid does but you can't deny Mario got really really lucky #quitting a steady job and starting his own business is kinda nuts tbh. At age 25 with very limited funds? In THIS economy?!? #I'm not big on Pio's choice of words but he's not wrong #super mario brothers #mario family

Do you think one could attain decent-ish ability to read Japanese just by studying kanji? Specifically asking because the kanji learnin' service "wanikani" is the single Japanese resource that works best with my brain, but then there are separate resources for grammar and vocab and and and.....

You will get REAAAALLLLLYYY far knowing only the kanji but you're going to have to know hiragana and katakana at some point too. Tofugu, the company that did Wanikani, has two mnemonics-based guides for the kana that are basically Wanikani Lite. They're how I learned the kana and I swear by them.

Here's hiragana: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/

And katakana: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-katakana/

Hiragana are especially vital to learning kanji; you won't be able to use 99% of Japanese-English dictionaries without them. BUT they're pretty easy and the rules for using them are consistent. You won't have to remember any irregular exceptions for any of them.

I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard really good things about the Crystal Hunters manga series as a fun/low stress way to learning Japanese vocab and grammar. It eases the reader into new concepts and then repeats them throughout the chapter so you remember them. There are free vocab and study guides/lists for each chapter too. Might be worth checking out once you get some kanji and the kana under your belt? The first book is also free.

Good luck!!

#asks #Japanese takes like a bajillion hours forever to learn because of the 2200+ kanji lol........... #But it's sooooo consistent grammatically and with the spelling. I love it #Kinda spoiled me tbh. I look at English now and I'm like #'Why can't you be more like this. Why are you such a mess. Get your act together' #And then there's Korean's hangul writing system. It's SO BEAUTIFUL. Actual marvel of linguist engineering #The Japanese lexicon is also a lot smaller than English's too. Which is both a blessing and a curse #Less words = quicker to learn. BUUUUUTTTT less words that mesh well with English. Translation is hard!!! #Holy fuck. Ok so Wikipedia says that the English language has 755`865 words as recorded by Wiktionary #and Japanese has 500`000 according to Nihon Kokugo Daijiten #BUT THEN KOREAN. ACCORDING TO ONLINE DICTIONARY URIMALSAEM (open source dictionary) HAS 1`149`538 WORDS #The biggest lexicon is Tamil's with 1`516`952 unique headwords as recorded by online dictionary Sorkuvai #That's absolutely nuts #I got massively distracted.

I loved NewWave and it's nominated for my top reads 2023, BUT THE JASON FICLET??? I thought it was going to be a light read but it hit me full force in the face because I didn't expect to identify so much with Jason! When I read your Jason it was like I was reading myself and I want you to know that I started reading it early at night and finished it at dawn because I constantly had to stop and cry because of how much my heart resonated with his! loved it

HI THANK YOU <3

I'm glad you identified with him! Jason is very much a character who's a little like me too. He's a born writer, and his way of using fiction to put the world in a framework that he can understand is very relatable. It leaves him a little out of touch with the reality of situations, but that's a feature and not a bug.

I can't relate as much to the racial undercurrent in the story, but I don't want to understate it. It has to suck for Jason to feel constantly compared to the blonde haired blue eyed 'perfect sidekick'. She provides something seen as valuable and ideal that Jason never could. Coming from Steph's viewpoint (and considering canon) the idea of her being unattainable perfection is deeply funny, but it's very real to Jason. Adding in Tim - who's identical to Bruce and comes from the same social strata - makes Jason feel like it's every man for himself.

That's what makes his connection with Bruce even more important, though. He's the polar opposite of Bruce in every way, but although Tim and Bruce are similar in a lot of ways, Jason and Bruce have a deep connection and understanding that Tim and Steph don't. They're both dreamers who make the world a stage, their need for justice comes from a place of great pain, and they love in quiet ways.

Jason's a special kid. Like Steph, he has so much value that he doesn't see. Unlike her, he wants more - he's hungry for it, that life with meaning and kindness. He's finally attained something good, and he's scared of losing it. He has so much to offer that he can't see, and the happiness of the story is when he's seen.

New Wave was my way of giving a character who's been routinely fucked over by canon and sidelined by fandom the spotlight. She's special and perfect and loved and recognized and important because...she's none of those things 'in real life'. I wanted to give that to her. Steph's a character I related to when I was her age, and I wanted to give that to myself too.

Jason came from a similar place. I do think canon & fanon are like...overly obsessed with him lmfao. There's a billion 'Jason joins the manor' stories and it's why I almost didn't write the story lol. But he's rarely given the chance to be a kid, one who exists in his own right - to join the Batfam out of his own choice, which is something bizarrely rare in fic. And kids like Jason are the forgotten ones, and it will always be Jason's dream to show the forgotten children that they're as much Robin as he is.

I'm glad it meant something to you ;-;. This story meant a lot to me too, which is why I can go onnnn about it lol. Thanks for reading and enjoying! <3

#tbh the only reason why the jason story was written besides my demons was the fact that #ive read a ton of jason joins the manor stories and its kinda nuts how in none of them #jason and bruce are like. friends #jason is always downright kidnapped to the manor and he's terrified of bruce until bruce Dad Proposes and theyre happy #its always 'jason realizes bruce is a good dad' and not #jason likes bruce as a person and wants to be around him and decides that this is where he wants to live his life #same on bruce's end. i never feel like there's an actual reason for why he shares his ID with a random street kid #it's always written with an element of soulmates if that makes sense #what makes jason so special? well he's jason todd the second robin #theres no actual in unverse reason why bruce picks jason #and i dont like a kid being someone you 'picked' #anyway similar to how i didnt want bruce to be a straight up father figure to steph and tim #this story was meant to show how bruce is now ready to be an actual father #and how thats shown by him forming a genuine connection born from friendship and resonance #i feel like bruce is chronically assigned Good Dad and not rly given an internal life #he wasnt ready to legitimately parent tim it was something he had to learn #idk the minute a nonPOV character is parent coded they lose all inner life and motivation #which i feel like says something about how fic writers view parents lmofa #that's another rant though #my writing #my asks

Well. That happened.

And ended...somehow more disgusting than I expected. Which is saying something, considering all the shit we saw on the way down here.

since i have some flatland followers now, figured i'd say that a while back i made a flatland short film and put it on youtube! it was a short grayscale animated thing about an isosceles-born equilateral. i'm not conceited enough to think anyone's desperately looking for it, but if you were curious as to why it isn't on youtube anymore, it was my final for one of my senior year college animation classes and was tied to my school email, so when i graduated and my college deleted my email account, the youtube account i'd made for all my school projects also got deleted

i'm not super proud of the film anymore, tbh, (i did all the hand-drawn portions of the film in one desperate 24 hour sitting,) but i might repost it on here at some point, just... with my full legal name edited out, because again, originally a school project

#i'd been thinking about remaking it tbh #but i don't have access to the same art and editing programs i did as a student #which kinda stinks... there's a lot of polish that that film needs #although i do still like a lot of the sound mixing #(except that part where the audio clips it drives me NUTS)

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

if you dislike someone's writing that much just shut up about it smh

#doctor who slander on my dash today #the reason I'm not actively a part of that fandom anymore is because I actually DON'T have any issue with ANY of the #nuwho showrunners #I don't think any of them were bad. they were all DIFFERENT. and as in all shows all of them wrote stuff that could have #been written better!! but I don't think moffat or chibbs were misogynistic or that rtd was evil for how martha's arc went #I'm actually pretty positive about all of them tbh. and people in the fandom are SO vitriolic about ALL of them sometimes #and it drives me nuts so I kinda left the fandom a couple years ago #like if you hate something that strongly either shut up about it or stop watching it you nitwits!!!! #Lu rambles

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

you can tell that they got to watch the episode before doing the voiceover and sometimes theyre really incredibly close to the same delivery

#which is kinda nuts #it's not Necessary i think #but it is really fun to hear #anyway ood ood ood vite vite vite <3 #that wasnt even the line that made me go 'thats crazy similar and for what' tbh #that was karvanistas line just before #literally sounds like the english but french it's impressive #unnecessary i think but impressive #but you hear it with 13 all the time too it's <33333 thank u for ur work voice actors #the translators too i mean they had to make the lines such that they can match them to the original pauses and stuff #or that one time they made chance and chance match up bc it was like. one last word after a pause in 13x4 #idk im just appreciating all the work that goes into this rn

I found the disc that has the MRI scans from when I exploded my lumbar on it today but I don't have a disc drive so I can't share the body horror

Less terrifying visualization via lobster meat:

#textpost #Wow! It's been 8 years since that happened huh #I herniated two discs in my lumbar in 2016 and my left foot was paralyzed #But through the power of scary needles + electricity + flexing really really hard I got better #My left foot isn't 100% but it's like 95% on a good day and tbh... #I'll take 95% haha I couldn't move or feel my toes At. All. #But it's basically normal now. Kinda nuts to think about #Anyway for the love of all beautiful things on this wonderful earth DO NOT LIFT HEAVY BOXES WITH YOUR BACK YOU WILL REGRET IT #SQUAT AND LIFT IT
