Of the many MANY things I am looking forward to in the Percy Jackson show, high up on that list is a concrete definite ultra canon pronunciation of Thalia’s name

#I didn’t realize how contested the pronunciation is until very recently lol #the show will be more canon than the movies #obviously #if the pronunciation ends up the same then that’ll be a point for the movies I guess lol #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo tv series #thalia grace #pjo thalia

#this is honest to god pretty close to how i picture him #i don't know where the helmet went or where blonde came from that's just what i see #i don't make the rules #it's the same as when you glance at a characters name and you get like the first three letters and the sixth letter in their name #and whatever pronunciation your brain makes up is what that character will forever be #that's wels #for me at least idk😊😇☝️ #hermitaday #welsknight #welsknight fanart #hermitcraft #hermitcraft fanart #ath art

I had a dream that you revealed Machete's real name, and it was still Machete but pronounced "mah-hee-yet" or "mah-hee-yay", depending on how french the speaker was

.

#DEPENDING ON HOW FRENCH THE SPEAKER WAS #beautiful #people occasionally ask me how his name is supposed to be pronounced #and the simple answer is that he's nicknamed after the big knife so you can just say it the same way it's not a big deal #also I'm not going to be there to hear you so I don't really care too terribly much #I say it how it reads in Finnish which is pretty far from the English pronunciation #but is coincidentally relatively close to the original Spanish one which is a reasonably lore friendly option #answered #anonymous #mah-hee-yay

THERE IS NO IRISH PRIME MINISTER SHUT THE FUCK UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP that's the TAOISEACH and there is no Irish Parliament either that's the DÁIL it is SOO easy to get right. please try. i believe in you

#ireland #Gaeilge #irish #it gets me so unreasonably mad #but like! i don't go round saying the american taoiseach the britush tánaiste #have a bit of respect for other cultures and languages like #i dont care too much when people on the internet do it if whatever source theyre referencing referred to 'the Irish prime minister' (if it #said taoiseach then youre an asshole) but when the BBC or other news networks say irish prime minister irish parliament whatever i get homi #homicidal #like the brits dont say the american prime minister i wonder whats the difference 🤔 hmmmmm #taoiseach isnt a direct translation of the british word prime minister like #its its own word snd term with CENTURIES of meaning #*and #Taoiseach is two fecking syllables like #roughly its tee-shuck but you should look up the pronunciation on teanglann and listen to it #same with dáil (dawl but really you should listen to it)

I feel like anyone who's about to embark on attempting to type out a character's accent phoentically (at least as well as one can with English) should probably stop for a moment before they get going and ask themselves, "How would I, myself, feel about a fic where the one character who sounds like me had their speech written out like this and every other character just got their dialogue left in standard spelling?" I feel like a lot of people would tone it down a bit, at least, if they'd done that thought experiment first.

(Anyone who answered "but I don't have an accent!" isn't allowed to write out anyone else's accent, ever. This rule may seem harsh but you need it. Really, you do. Because you've never had anyone treat your accent as abnormal or comical or wrong, so you really don't know what you're inflicting on others here.)

#writing stuff #have you read that fic where the socially prestige accent is the one being carefully typed out “like it sounds”? no? neither have i :( #the obvious note-for-Americans on typing out UK accents is that most of them carry some connotation of class and/or 'education' #within the uk: ask yourself why a Geordie gets typed out but not some dude from the Home Counties #typing out an accent is - usually - a roundabout way of saying “this person talks WRONG! they're not NORMAL!” #you may also find 'Scottish Twitter' informative for the distinction between in-group and out-group 'transcriptions' of accent/dialect #(i use that example only cos I'm Scottish btw) #(oh yes EVERYONE thinks I have an accent! and many of them attempt to replicate it badly in text!) #fun story: one time i had to learn the [IPA] for a linguistics class and the examples were 'standard' English pronunciations #and I went in the next day BAFFLED by why the book insisted that 'boot' and 'foot' don't contain the same vowel sound #(cos they fuckin do don't they?!) #the tutor explained and was v interested in the fact that to me they're the same. i was then asked to demonstrate again for the class. #but i - alas - was not offered repeated examples of however the fuck people say boot and foot in RP :( #(this was IN SCOTLAND btw) #anyway mibbe jist dinnae dae it? mibbe? #and if you do you have use the actual IPA. there now i've made it more trouble than it's worth for most people.

#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

[fitzrove]

Lol today i learned (while doing German homework) that the whimsical Finnish word "tilpehööri" (= additional trinkets or random things that come along with something else) actually comes from the Swedish tillbehör which is equivalent to the extremely commonly used German Zubehör

#not exactly the same meaning but similar #petition to create 'tsupehööri'... #i already joke with my parents that i'm going to start speaking like 19th century finnish immigrants to america and/or ppl along the swedis #border (also in the 19th century) #(= speaking old-timey finglish/swennish where you make english or swedish words into finnish w pronunciation/spelling) #liisasin tänään tsaitungista että tsuukistraikki jatkuu vii'immä #etc #so yeah lets make this a thing pls /J #ashhdhj translations: #liisasin = [ich habe] gelesen #tsaitungista = in der Zeitung #tsuukistraikki = Zugstreik #vii'immä = wie immer #i'm having so much fun with this xDD #(so my example sentence would be 'i read today in the paper that the train strike keeps going like always') #languages #random

[hajihiko]

Actually interesting tidbit re: your languages comic! In game it’s implied that Kazuichi can speak/read English bc he reads a sign in English to Hajime! Although I always kind of just imagined he picked it up from watching TV/Movies and isn’t super fluent

Yeah lots of ppl pointed that out and admittedly I plain forgot. But i do think it makes sense that he taught himself through manuals and the internet, so he's better at reading it than most, but when it comes to listening to (the hurried, limp, molasses-like American) English that's where he fumbles. Seeing the words makes sense, hearing eybuddyowyadowein is another. Also being HoH post-game doesnt help.

#not an art #Listen. I'm very fluent in English it's my second language. But the way you Speak vs Write is fuckinfg worlds apart okay #I come from a very straight-forward pronunciation language (like japanese!) and its SO different. #Same with Spanish just for the pure Speed of it. Can I guesstimate some spanish written word? Yea! Can I HEAR shit? No.

Eiffel and Minkowski knew each other for 1200 days and spent only 300 of them as friends.

#wolf 359 #doug eiffel #renee minkowski #alia talks #wolf 359 spoilers #have I posted about this before? #yes #will I continue to post about it? #yes. #also in other news #the music that plays when they reconcile on the eve of the mutiny #and when she explains about her accent and the pronunciation of her name #and in the finale they have their laugh over the les mis joke #and she tricks him into going home and they call each other by first names for the first and last time #is the same in all three scenes #it’s called ‘e.iffel dreaming wistfully about his childhood’ #(it’s also the soundtrack that plays when he’s drinking post mutiny and talking with ghost!h.ilbert lmao)

[anitalianfrie]

The motogp confession about wrongly pronouncing Italian names prompted me to question how the fuck English speakers think my name is pronounced

#I know Spanish speaking people have my back bc my name is the same as well as the pronunciation #But I'm honestly concerned about the rest of you #cate.txt

Bad is Hugos girlfriend 🎉

[bookwyrminspiration]

hey um wait a minute important question do you pronounce it AL-den or ALL-den. al like alvin. or ahl like all. because I think the world is crashing down around me

#kotlc #alden vacker #HELP #i've got unlocked open next to me on the pronunciation page because I haven't put it away yet #and i glanced at it and saw the vackers #and went haha it's weird that AL-den and AL-var have the first part spelled the same when you say them different #and then it hit me #IS IT AL-DEN LIKE ALVIN??? #HAVE I BEEN LIVING A LIE FOR. ALMOST SEVEN YEARS? #all caps

Finally got around to watching Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

and

100% honesty here?

I smiled-to-grinned-helplessly at every second of it! It is SO charming and SO expertly animated! The comparisons to the Spiderverse movies I've seen so far are 100% warranted and I genuinely hope loads of CGI animated movies follow these patterns/designs in the future because they're just SO refreshing to watch in a... maybe "engaging" is the word to use? You feel like you're IN the animation, reacting eagerly TO it, rather than sitting tiredly as you watch a rough draft with a few key splash pages go by.

I dunno. YouTube keeps recommending me people bleh-dunking on Disney's Wish and from what clips of that movie I've seen it looks SO dull in comparison to Puss. Like, I have 0 clue what Wish is about! I've seen maybe 4 5-10 second clips of it at most. There's a goat? The protag's bestie (besties??) are based on the 7 Dwarves? There's like 50 references to older Disney movies because it's supposed to be a celebration of Disney's 100th?

But strictly speaking from a visual perspective/demonstration/execution/exultation of animation prowess? Puss is INCREDIBLE. On a strictly visual/style comparison there is NO comparison. I'm speaking honestly here; I couldn't HELP but grin watching every second of Puss. It's a delight just to watch. I'd say that even if the story bored me and that is NOT the case. The story is SO GOOD. The story makes it an EASY 10 times better than what the brilliant visuals promised. It is SO worth the dollars I dropped on a rental watch of it, and it's definitely a movie I (a person who is NOT interested in movies until years later at BEST) would be keen to watch again.

#A VISUAL FEAST THIS IS #also a minor character's voice actor has the EXACT same name as both an uncle AND a cousin #because my extended family loves reusing names to DEATH #i'm saying this as a goddamn Lorelei. NOBODY has my name. #i'm in my 30s and i have NEVER met another Lorelei IRL #if i'm allowing wonky spellings/same pronunciations I met a... Loreleigh? i think? at the San Antonio zoo in 2015 #and i've got a distant COUSIN named Lorelei who's. idk. in grade school now probably? maybe middle school? #extended family is weird #point is. Movie Good. Couldn't Help But Grin Throughout. #also john mulaney is in it and that was a delightful surprise nobody spoiled me on #ANYWAY i paused like 50 times just to marvel at how GOOD this movie LOOKS #never mind the VERY GOOD story #it LOOKS SO GODDAMN GOOD TO WATCH #also the Wolf's design was 100% influenced by Diablo 3 TELL ME I'M WRONG #also also the side character FAMILY dynamic??? i'm dying. i love them. #i saw the first Puss movie in theaters back in what. 2011? i should've expected i genuinely good goddamn story from the start
