regarding dr ratio's team join voiceline with aventurine

idk where it originated from but i've been seeing this notion that the ENG voiceline is horribly mistranslated and ratio is much more caring and friendly in the original CN. THIS IS LITERALLY NOT TRUE HE IS JUST AS BITCHY IN BOTH LANGUAGES

as a native chinese speaker i actually really love hsr's localisation and i would like to clarify the misconception + explain the cultural nuance/context behind this particular voiceline

i think this tweet might've been the original source for this misconception? op's translation of the CN line is very literal and completely lacking in cultural nuance. while the sentence 管好你自己 does literally translate to "take care of yourself", it lacks the automatic positive connotation that this sentence has in ENG. CN is a high context language -- aka the meaning of a sentence can be totally different based on context clues like tone, body language, etc.

ratio's tone in this line is not the tone of someone who is concerned for a friend. it's standoffish. when said in this kind of tone, the meaning of 管好你自己 is closer to "mind your own business", making the ENG "keep to yourself" a more accurate localisation.

in addition, the word 管 has connotations of controlling/managing something -- directly translating this to "take care of yourself" means it's missing a lot of important nuance.

granted, the second half of the line is a bit unnecessarily aggressive in ENG. the CN is more like "I have no need for your concern", and explicitly saying that he believes aven's concern to be "false" in ENG is definitely a lot ruder than the original line.

However. in my opinion it's not Too far off base. the way he emphasises the second half of that voiceline in CN carries an implication that he actually disdains aven's concern; we can extrapolate from context clues that he feels this way because aven's concern is just an act. tldr; eng line explicitly saying "false display" does make it ruder than CN but it didn't just come from nowhere -- the implication is already there in CN

this is not to say that ratio doesn't care about aven or see him as a friend. imo the reason ratio is so standoffish in this line is because any display of concern from aven here has the clear intention of teasing ratio. they both know ratio can take care of himself perfectly well. this is just how their dynamic works -- aven makes silly playful comments and ratio deflects them by acting cold.

in conclusion: ENG voiceline is not a mistranslation. hsr localisation is definitely not perfect but in this particular case i feel they've done a fairly good job of conveying the original meaning. thank you for coming to my ted talk

#SORRY FOR THE LONG ASS POST #Im just passionate about accurate localisation #if you read the whole thing thank you seriously #if anyone has other thoughts or questions please feel free to share under this post or in my inbox or wherever!#i did cross check all this with another native speaker but im open to hearing other ppl's interpretations too #dr ratio #aventurine #aventio #ratiorine #not necessarily ship but ill tag anyway #honkai star rail #hsr #long post

okay i have some things to say. and i know all of my followers are here for bg3 content but i have to talk about the most recent episode of 9-1-1 on abc

Spoilers obviously if you have not seen s7xep4 of 9-1-1

Okay. I will start this by saying, I have loved Buddie for years now. Super cute, I love you Eddie, I love you Buck, im smushing your faces together like barbies. But i truly cannot get behind everyone saying that since Buck has been confirmed to be bisexual that they are going to make Buddie canon.

Firstly, lets not treat this new relationship with Tommy as a stepping stone to Buddie. This is Buck's moment right now, and thats all it needs to be. We rarely get this kind of rep, a straight "ladies man" esque character, in his 30s, learning that hes queer and what that is going to mean for him. Let Buck have this without rushing to get to Buddie

Second, I personally just do not think that it would write well for Eddie to also come out. With Buck, we have been seeing since the beginning that this man has been queer. There has never been a doubt in my mind that Buck would come out as bisexual, they have made so many quips about it in the show. It feels right for his character. I don't believe the same can be said for Eddie. If he were to come out now after all of this, if they made Buddie canon, to me it would simply feel like fanservice. Like they are catering to there audience, it wouldn't feel at all genuine to me. And I don't think its the most interesting or well written plot they could go for here.

Do I believe that Buck has/had feelings for Eddie? Absolutely. I think Buck should have a moment of realization of "oh, all of these big confusing feelings I've been having for my bestfriend might be explained now". But I don't think Eddie will reciprocate. And that's okay. They have a very beautiful friendship, and I think the best thing the writers could do is show a healthy male friendship that is heartfelt and vulnerable between a straightman and a queer man and have that just be okay.

As sweet as Buddie is as a ship, I'd very much like to see this relationship with Tommy fleshed out first and foremost. Flesh him out as a character, we've seen very little of him and I'd like to know more. I think if they really want to make Buddie canon, it needs to take its time, and they need to do it right. Well written queer characters are sometimes hard to come by, and i would hate for that to happen here with rushing into things. Personally, Ive been loving this theory brought up to me by a friend that Eddie actually helped set up things between Tommy and Buck. But who knows we will simply have to wait for the next episode.

#sorry for the long ass post #i just have a lot of thoughts and feelings #this isnt even all of them #don't get me started on the whole family feud cast “confirming” gay eddie #911 spoilers #911 abc #911 season 7 #911 show #evan buckley #eddie diaz #tommy kinard #tommybuck #buddie

the parallels between Roman and conner are actually killing me. they both are the siblings most likely to shirk off or dismiss their trauma, both deny their need for love while vehemently displaying the opposite, and both seem to pursue their siblings more than the others. yet there is something so distinctly different about them. conner who dismisses his trauma because he always had a distant view of it. who always looked at his siblings as having it worse off. and roman who denies it bc Logan has taught him that he always deserved it. conner who says he doesn't need love bc he was never given it from either parent. and roman who denies love bc he can't maintain it, was never taught it. conner who is always there when he's needed the most bc no one showed up for him. roman bc he needs to be something other then a punching bag to someone, anyone. the child raised the closest to the father's rod and staff, and the child raised the furthest from it.

#roman roy #conner roy #roy siblings #succession #this may not make sense #but theres just something about the 2 of them #sorry for the long ass post

Ok so I have a in progress owl house AU with the bat family. Now they don't really easily paste into the existing roles so there has to be a bit of editing and small changes. Here is the current role swap list.

Luz: Duke Thomas

Amity: Tim Drake (THIS IS A PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP!!!!)

Gus: Cass?? Maybe?? May give her a more dramatic backstory that Gus and that she left the "Emperors Coven" a while ago???? And she'd be older making Steph the younger one of the 2.

Willow: Steph??? Bc of the relationship between Willow and Amity?? Not quite accurate to Tim and Steph but drama?? Maybe?? Post breakup??

King: IDK YET LMAO

Hooty: Alfred...? Posh hooty....

Hunter: Damian

Golden Guard: Jason Todd

Ok so that needs some explaining, I kinda had to split that character into two because Jason could "die" and then come back as the crimson guard, but Damian fulfills the role of having been related to the Emperor. It'll be weird but kinda work?? I think??

I'm also not sure if I'll make Damian a grimwalker. I may be able to make him one that Talia may have raised?? In replacement of her old child she had with Bruce before they split??

ALSO DUE TO THEIR NATURE THERE WILL BE NO HUNTER WILLOW CROSSOVER HERE EITHER SORRY

Raine: Talia?? This could be so cool actually (Talia fits better in this role but It would be fun to have superbat. Unlikely though)

Eda: Bruce Wayne

Lilith: Kate Kane

Ed: Dick Grayson

Em: Barbara Gordon

The Emperor: Ras Al Ghul (dont know his situation! Talia may be a half elf in this)

They aren't aren't related but I feel like they got the vibes. Also idk if Dickbabs will be a thing here. I think it may have been a childhood relationship but they're almost outta school and Dicks with Kory.

if anyone has suggestions for who King may be lmk or how some changes in this could work??

Robin is a palisman that transfers around, Dick Grayson had it first, it being a palisman of one of his parents before they passed. When Jason started to hang around him and Bruce at the bathouse it eventually transfered over to him, and then transferred to Tim afterwards.

Dick Grayson did get a new palisman eventually though!! And it's reminiscent of Nightwing.

Jason does die and gets brought over to the Emperor and becomes the Crimson Knight and is stationed with Damian a lot. So missions Damian goes on, he is there as back up (As per request of Talia). He's a lot like the Young Justice Redhood at this point and my design is also reminiscent of that.

Tim's got the mid parents, may lean into the way Amity's parents are. He also doesn't have older siblings there to help out until Duke shows up and convinces him to go stay at bathouse permanently or something. (Dick and Babs do have a friendship with him though at school and try to get him to go to Dicks house more often but he doesn't)

Haven't thought about Stephs situation enough so if anyone has any ideas!!

As for covens, (I haven't thought about them enough RIP, will be added to as I get my act together)

Dick: Illusionist (Bruce doesn't have as bad of a relationship with the school as Eda did, though it did get worse after Dick started going!!"

My thought process was Illusionist is a very performative coven and he is a performer at heart <3

Jason: Bard Coven

I wanted to draw him with a guitar. Sue me. (It was a tiktok lmao I can't remember if I had any real reasoning)

Kory: Construction Coven

Because I could see her wanting to make things and she's strong

Duke Thomas: light glyphs so many light glyphs

He's gonna go through the Luz route and found the Bad Bat Coven (tm)

Bruce: Head of Bad Bat Coven

If anyone has any ideas for what covens other people will be I'd like to know 🥺.

Danni I want you to talk about everything right NEOW.

But I know you need specific questions, so I will ask you to talk to me about your Edd bc I know the least about your version of him

oh yaya time to talk about his big spanish hispanic jewish family!!!!

he's the youngest of 6, oldest 2 aren't named or designed. I have not much of shit on them yet lmao!

Edd is the baby child of the family and was super super dotted on by his mama and he and Elain, the second youngest, are the closest, her kids r named after him! Edwin being obvious but emily's middle name is manuela which is the female version of edds middle name, manuel! He's a gay man he's the gay uncle. We love tio edd.

Next up is Sofia who's a transwoman who works at a tattoo shop in london. While Edd is learning spanish to speak properly w his family in spain sofia has cut contact w most of the family since transitioning for various reasons, but she still texts edd here and there. He's pretty much the only one that still has contact w her and it how the family still knows she's alive. she loves her pug furbaby Moonshine. May or may not have a crush on a local ginger lady who works at a diner near her work.

Rodrigo, aka Felipe, has the typical brotherly relationship w Edd. Loves to bully and tease him and is pretty cool w his whole gay thing, even if he says some fuck up shit every now and then. He's trying. Worries a lot abt Sofia due to them being so close as kids, doesn't know abt her transitioning tho and Edd's not sure if he should tell him or not. Mama calls him her little filly (as in the horse) and was definitely into mlp (thanks to edd getitng him into it)

Speaking of mama! Here's Reina, Edd's mother who never quite felt right in her relationship with his dad John. John is an orthodox jew and she was very iffy on getting a divorce just because she "felt weird" about it, but when Edd was about 7 she talked to John and, shockingly, he agreed to the divorce but wanted dearly to stay in the kids life, which of course she would let him. They still lived together up until Edd's teens before Reina moved out into her own house. They had moved to the UK while still married, shortly after having Elain, so Edd never really experienced living in Spain where the majority of his family resides. He also can't speak Spanish very well but he's been learning!

Elain had moved back to Spain after meeting a visiting spaniard and marrying him, resulting in her having two kids, but it really wasn't long before they divorced. Turns out he had a mistress she was unaware of who was also pregnant so she slammed that divorced hammer quite fucking fast and took custody of the kids. Edd swears he'd kill the guy if he ever sees him, Elain tell him not too because she want's to be the one who kills him lmao.

Reina isn't orthodox but due to growing up w John who is, Edd seems to... think... she is... so whenever she visits he's in a rush to clean up the house. This shit should have been kosher YESTERDAY! BURY THE BACON IN THE BACKYARD GOD DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!! She tells the rest of them she actually adores bacon and is always slightly disappointed whenever Edd hides it from her. Tom tries to tell Edd about this but he just... wont rlly listen... it's ok it's not like it's rlly hurting anyone.

#eddsworld #ew edd #commie art #stfu commie #daisydays-26 #sorry for the long ass post #there not. like. correct way to read it ig.#im just spewing my thoughts as they come to me #lmao #edd is a very nonpracticing jew btw #this poor man cannot speak a lick of hebrew #his bar mitzvah was a disaster #wouldn't expect anything less from him tbh

🫵YOU. Tell me about your furry ocs neow

Oh boi, bet. cracks knuckles

I had like two sets of ocs but since I know which ones sparked curiosity on you, I'll talk about the second set, perhaps I'll talk about the first one soon.

Anyways to give some context, when I was like 15/16 years old (beware of the cringe), I had like a project that I wanted to do after I gave up from the first one. The project was a comic called "Blood Moon".

I never got finish it and I don't have any pages because I wanted to have the story all figured out before starting.

The "story" was about an universe were anthropomorphic animals and humans exist together, the humans (as always) are pieces of shit and didn't liked the furries so there was wars, slavery, torture and shit.

At some point it all ended and they live in 'harmony', except that some people still tortured and slaved the furries illegally. Now we have to know about how there's furries both in the city and in the forest, in the city they all live with the humans, have jobs etc.

In the forest there's villages and they're all of single species, like, bears only, wolves only, lmao.

The main focus is a village of wolves, in which Ares and his wife Star are the leaders of said village.

And they had a baby called Luna, a small wolf cub. So cute :[.

Also there will be some design changes through the post since I don't have much drawings to illustrate them. I will point out everytime a different design appears.

Anyways, shit goes down when a group of humans invaded the village and commited genocide and stole cubs, including Luna. They took her to a hidden cabin in which they tortured and sell furries as slaves. (I'm starting to realize how edgy and fucked up this story is, what the fuck... anyways.)

Luna ends up being sold for a man and he "raises" her as some guard dog in which he uses to intimidate and kill people who owe money for him. She grows up and yada yada yada, until one day he tested her limits and she ripped his head off :].

Now, she's a huge ass 1,93 cm tall buff wolf with no one to control her ass (this is why you never mistreat your puppies, they might kick your ass sooner or later/hj).

At some point of the story she runs off to the forest and oh my god what an inconvenience, she found an wolf village! And what another great inconvenience, she also found her parents!!! :0

I forgot to mention but they didn't died in the genocide, they managed to escape and runned off to another area to live, so yeah, these bitches are alive.

And they now have four more kids that they didn't lose, I could explain how they found out that they're all really related since Luna is a lost child, how she reacts about her parents having other kids after she got kidnapped and other stuff about the lore. But honestly, this post is way too long and I dislike this story so I can't stand writing more shit about it LMFAO.

Tho I will say that I erased all of this bullshit and now they all live normally, no more drama. They're happy now and live in a farm.

Also have some memes:

#ask #willow talking shit #my art #oc art #wolf oc #this story fucking sucks lol #I still have some love for the characters tho #which is the only reason I've been drawing them these days #sorry for the long ass post #maybe you only wanted names and some facts about them instead of a big ass answer #sorry

can I literally get my insurance to cover a massage. all of my joints are the tightest they have ever been, which is really saying something. they legit help me SO much T_T I am so so tired of living in pain. I don't want psychiatric meds. I want cannabis, ketamine, massage therapy, trauma therapy, & the government to give me my fuckin cripplebux already!!!

sorry to be an anti-psych med person but I've had shit tier effects on Every Single Drug I Have Tried. Gabapentin, prescribed to me for anxiety, fucking deletes my cognition and I can't like........ Be a human anymore and hold conversations I remember. Somehow, it makes my dissociation worse, and I'm a switchy DID mess.

With weed the worst thing that happens is I get a little too high and think there are ghosts in my house, and then I light a little incense & do some warding and grounding techniques and remind myself it's just the weed and I feel better! I'm just nervous bc the last time I spoke to a professional abt my smoking and how it helps my anxiety and pain they were like "ummm it'll make it worse if you don't quit!" which...... is not true for me personally.

It's not even about being ~natural~ it's just LITERALLY I know something that works and helps me!!!!! p l e a s e just let me have affordable access to it, I'm tired and in so much agony<3 I wanna get high n get all of the knots in my muscles worked out because rn it feels less like I've got muscles and more like there's rocks in there. and I think the constant tension really contributes to the chronic pain.

#mad scrawl #sorry for the long ass post #I'm still taking the gabbies but I. eugh.#not a fan................#they're fun recreationally but all of the time for anxiety its like. okay so I'm sorta lobotomized awesome

Leaving my ex who has BPD was one of the best things I’ve done for myself even though I stayed four years too long. By the time I hopped off the emotional roller coaster of a relationship I was depressed, anxious, and unrecognizable by family friends. PwBPD are master manipulators and will attempt to warp your perception of events, leaving you to question your own sanity and so much more. The emotional abuse is on another level too. Here’s one of many examples, Imagine someone cutting themselves with a knife in front of you only to say “the cuts weren’t even that deep” or “you know I wasn’t that serious.” Just pure gaslighters. You think they care they hurt you? Nah, your feelings will be dismissed every time or they tell you how they are feeling is more important than how you’re feeling. The whole relationship was walking on eggshells to not set her off because pwBPD VERY emotionally unstable. One minute they love you the next they are screaming at you. I think their fear of rejection and abandonment outweighs the love, if any, they have for you. I wasn’t a perfect boyfriend but goddamn did I take accountability for every mistake I made. It may sound fucked up but until a pwBPD seek years of treatment and therapy I don’t think they are capable of a healthy relationship. You’ll recognize a pattern with their new partners. I could go on and on about what I went through in our relationship but I’m not tryna type all that lol just know if a person youre thinking about dating tells you they have BPD, run far away from them. Protect your energy and mental health.

Hi same anon as before. Would you ever want to talk a little bit about fanfiction and yugioh or whatever? Maybe give me some advice on how to start writing again when you’re stuck hehe. I’ve been stuck for nearly a whole year

YES ABSOLUTELY I WOULD!! I looooove talking about writing and yugioh :] two of my favorite things!

Also, as for some advice, here's what I can try to offer you:

When I get stuck, I move on to something else. If it's writing, I usually like to scroll through my old docs and find something that inspires me! Like an old idea I forgot about or a scene I forgot I wrote... Something that sparks my interest in that moment! And what I do is just... write? Writing for yourself I think is the most important step in getting back into things. You have to try to remind yourself why you started doing it in the first place and the only way to do that is to WANT to write whatever it is you're writing! So, if you're stuck on a project that you've been wanting to finish, the best thing to do is set it aside and write literally whatever the hell you want. Something that is exciting and fun and makes your brain feel alive again :]

After you get yourself back into it, finding a friend or two to share your work with is helpful :) So, instead of writing for, say, an AO3 audience, you have a smaller audience of supportive friends to read it over and tell you what they think :D I've been sharing docs (stories I will probably never post) with a couple of people this past year and I take great delight in just... sharing :) It's good to forget all about publishing and posting and sharing with a wider audience when you're stuck. You don't need to add that extra pressure on to yourself! Just HAVE FUN!!!

I think all of the above is good advice for when you're stuck on a specific project, but if you're stuck on writing as a whole and just can't seem to get back into it then I suggest two things:

One: Don't worry about it!! Get out and do something fun for yourself. Don't hunt too hard for inspiration. Instead, let it come to you! Write down thoughts you have throughout the day in a notebook or your phone (I actually do this with drawing in my sketchbook hehe its helpful!) that you can look at later. It can, and should, be literally anything:

"Saw an orange cat"; "The sky is purple looking"; "My shoelace is fucked up"

Then maybe challenge yourself to make something out of them? Or don't! It's just for exercising the idea making in your brain little by little :]

Two: **Read works you love! Read books, fics, poems, short stories, plays... whatever it is that you like and love to consume :] These are things that are sure to inspire you subconsciously! Maybe you could even analyze these works and ask yourself why you like these things. What makes the story unique? What draws you to it? Then you could take those things and try to mold it into something of your own :]

For example, what inspired me to write Cornered was The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner. It had been, like, 3 years since I read that book for high school, but one day I thought about the way Faulkner utilized stream of consciousness and point of view and I just was like "hey... what if I tried doing something a little like that..." And that was literally it. I had no plot ideas. I just put that thought on the back-burner and when the story finally did come to me, I put the two ideas together. Because I thought it would be epic. And because I love creative writing and I love investigators and I love yugioh and I love to make Ryou suffer :]

**I feel like I should add not to OVER analyze works you love. It's easy to feel discouraged when you start comparing yourself to others. Don't do that, like, ever! Use things you love for inspiration, never for comparison. If you find yourself feeling discouraged because "oh, I could never write like that" STOP IMMEDIATELY and do something else! Because you CAN!!! No one will ever write the way you do :] You are unique with your own thoughts and ideas! If you find yourself saying things like this, try finding inspiration outside of writing. Just so you don't fall into that hole!

Ah.... I think that's all I have, haha. I'm by no means a professional. I just really like writing fanfiction LOL Most of this advice is coming from my experience as an animation major and dealing with burnout and stuff like that. Everyone is different, though, so finding what works for you is going to be a bit of a challenge, but hopefully these are some tips that can help you get started on facing your writing rut head on!

As always, thank you for supporting my work anon <3 I wish you tremendous luck on your writing journey! And I'm flattered you have come to me for advice, hehe :]

#PHEW #sorry for the long ass post #but... this is something i'm really passionate about hehe #I hope this is somewhat helpful #like i said everyone works differently #what works for me might not work for you... but its worth a shot!#ask #anon #thank you for asking I am happy to try and help :)

ohhh my god. okay so i’m at work rn and it’s definitely been a night so far

so i got high before work and it has stayed way longer than expected. my shift starts at 11 so about 10 i took a moderately sized dab while i was already high and it’s now 3am and i’m just now having it wear off. so my state of mind is important to the story

i come in and my coworkers start telling me about this guy who was harassing a guest earlier and was looking through her room’s window. and it happened a few hours before i came in and they said he hasn’t been back since so i did not care about it. like an hour into my shift i was chillin in the front desk’s back hallway and i saw somebody waving and hitting the glass door yelling Heyyy! at me. and it matched the description of the same window guy so i got freaked out and hid against the wall and called my male coworker working across the parking lot… but by the time he came over the guy was gone. we called the cops.. they came and he was nowhere in the parking lot so the cop called me and said there was nothing much they could do about the guy anyway because he’s not really doing anything illegal just bein fuckin weird. so whatever. a while later i’m still stoned and now paranoid and i see on the security cameras what i think is a man standing on the side of the building looking in the windows i freaked out again and called the cop back and halfway through the call i realized it was a lamp post and its shadow😭 but i had to keep playing it off like i saw him because that’s embarrassing. so anyways the cop left after he saw no one here. and at one point the guy came over here according to my coworker but i was at the vending machine down the hall so i didn’t hear or see him but he left i guess after he saw there was no one upfront. and i haven’t heard about him since

so anyways i don’t know if this is genuinely scary or if i overreacted so i told my Male Friend about it. and he’s like omfg you’re a wussy but i don’t think i was being dramatic. like this was a creepy situation right… and i mentioned he’s male because like a dude would handle this situation differently yknow. anyways idk if it was just because i was too high and freaking out about everything or if it was just another weirdo that always comes and goes around here and i flipped out about it. i’m just embarrassed because i was very clearly high to my coworkers and the police like that is embarrassing. i’ve been getting high at work lately but it’s been chill so it didn’t matter but this was embarrassing lmfaooo

another super insulting part of the watcher situation i haven't rly seen ppl addressing much

ryan deadass saying smth like "nobody else on youtube has made tv quality content"

like... i really feel like it's important to highlight that bc not only do they obviously have no respect for their audience, but that statement shows they have no respect for their peers in the industry, either.

not to mention it is a shining example of bleeding arrogance to such a high degree, you will straight up fucking lie bc you're truly convinced you're that special when you're anything but.

there's been NUMEROUS online creators who were recognized by entertainment industry workers BECAUSE they made tv quality content & even full stop blockbuster quality content.

bo burnham started on youtube & is now one of the most wellknown & loved standup comedians of our generation, with numerous netflix specials & even a movie he wrote & directed under his belt.

the try guys, fellow ex-buzzfeed employees, had their own tv specials on food network (based off their youtube shows, btw) & a documentary made about them as well

rosanna pansino has also been on numerous food network shows both as a host & a judge

quinta brunsun, another fellow ex-buzzfeed employee, went on to create her own whole ass sitcom that has been highly praised

matpat cameo'd in the fnaf movie because of his theories & multiple other fnaf creators had small cameos through the employee of the month board easter egg

markiplier made multiple high-quality shows on youtube & is now working on a highly anticipated movie (he was also planned to cameo in the fnaf movie but couldn't due to conflicting schedules with his own movie)

hot ones got their own tv gameshow due to their popularity & they are still one of the most wellknown, beloved & respected internet shows

many short films made on youtube went on to premiere at film festivals & even in theaters

the hit horror film "talk to me" was created by youtubers rackaracka

webseries of actual fucking tv shows have also existed for literal decades

the list goes on.

to seriously think that overproduced bullshit is all you need to make "tv quality content" is not only tone-deaf, but shows they do not even know what they're talking about. many tv shows & huge blockbuster movies are made with absolutely microscopic budgets & small teams, & they still get praised & awarded for the passion, dedication, & creativity that shined brightly under those restrictions.

the blair witch project is probably the most wellknown & highly praised example of this, but it is far from the Only example

it is a whole other slap in the face, again ESPECIALLY when puppet history is one of their most popular shows, to spit in the face of internet history. to see the success of their predecessors, even ppl they fucking worked with at buzzfeed, & deny them of all their success & efforts to get where they ended up.

no, y'all are not the first people to make "tv quality content" on the internet. FAR from it. because your crap isn't even genuine "tv quality".

but you are the first ones to ever disrespect not only your audience, but your own fucking industry & your peers on this level.

& you are the first & i sorely hope the only fuckwads dumb enough to pull a stunt this fucking stupid, out of touch & utterly tone deaf.

#mine #watcher #sorry this is hopefully my last post but this pretention grated me #& im floored nobody has mentioned it #like sincerely how fucking dare you? what the fuck is wrong with you?#how far up your ass is that building long stick???#not to mention youtube is 18 fucking years old.#it is literally statistically impossible for a website as huge as youtube is to exist that long #& never have any 'tv quality' content on it. be mother fucking serious.#many ytbers were recognized by entertainment industry marvels BECAUSE they made content that was already tv quality #fuck off.

I see a lot of people clowning on the people of Pelican Town for not repairing the community center themselves or clowning on Lewis for embezzling and. like. Those criticisms aren't entirely unfair. But I think instead of coming at it from a perspective of "why can't the townspeople do this" we should be asking "why and how can the farmer do this?"

Like. Think about it. The farmer arrives in Stardew Valley on the first day of spring. By the first day they're obviously different. By day five the spirits of the forest who haven't been seen by the townsfolk in years or generations are speaking to them. By the second week they've developed a rapport with the wizard that lives outside town.

In the spring they go foraging and find more than even Linus, who's spent so many years learning the ways of the valley. Maybe he knows, when he sees them walking back home. Maybe he looks at them and understands that they're different, chosen somehow.

In the summer they fish in the lakes and the ocean for hours on end, catching fish that even Willy's only ever heard of, fish that he thought were the stuff of legend. They pull up giants from the deep and mutated monstrosities from the sewers.

In the fall, their crops grow incredibly immense; pumpkins twice as tall as a person, big enough that someone could live inside. The farmer cuts it down with an axe without even batting an eye. Does Lewis wonder, when he checks the collection bin that night and finds it full to the brim with pumpkin flesh? What does he think? Does he even leave the money? Does he have the funds to pay the farmer millions of dollars for the massive amounts of wine they sell? Or is it someone--something--else entirely?

In the winter, the farmer delves into the mines. No one in Pelican Town has been down there in decades. No one in living memory has been to the bottom. The farmer gets there within the season. They return to the surface with stories of dwarven ruins and shadow people, stories they only tell to Vincent and Jas, whose retellings will be dismissed by the adults as flights of fancy. People walking by the entrance to the mines sometimes hear the farmer in there, speaking in a language no one can understand. Something speaks back.

The farmer speaks to the the wizard. They speak to the spirit of a bear inside a centuries-old stone. They speak to the shadow people and the dwarves, ancient enemies, and they try to mend the rift. They speak to the Junimos, ancient spirits of the forest and the river and the mountain. They taste the nectar of the stardrops and speak to the valley itself. They change Pelican Town, and they change the valley. Things are waking up.

And what does Evelyn think? She's the oldest person in the valley; she was here when the farmer's grandfather was young. (How old *is* she, anyway? She never seems to age. She doesn't remember the year she was born.) Does she see the farmer and think of their grandfather? Does she try to remember if he was like this too, strange and wild and given the gifts of the forest?

And does their grandfather haunt the valley? He haunts the farm, still there even after his death; his body died somewhere else, but his spirit could never stay away for long. Does Abigail, using her ouija board on a stormy night, almost drop the planchette when she realizes it's moving on its own? Does Shane, walking to work long before anyone else leaves their house, catch glimpses of a wispy figure floating through the town? Does the farmer know their grandfather came back to the place they both love so much?

Mr. Qi takes interest in the farmer. He's different, too; in a different way, maybe, but the principles are the same. They're both exceptional, and no matter what Qi says about it being hard work and dedication, they both know the truth: the world bends around the both of them, changing to fit their needs. Most people aren't visited by fairies or witches. Most people don't have meteorites crash in their yard. Most people couldn't chop down trees all day without a break or speak to bears and mice and frogs.

The farmer is different. The rules of the world don't work for them the way they work for everyone else. The farmer goes fishing and finds the stuff of fairy tales. The farmer goes mining and fights shadow beasts and flying snakes. The farmer looks at paths the townspeople walk every day and finds buried in the dirt relics of lost civilizations.

The farmer is a violent, irrepressible miracle, chosen by the valley and destined to return to it someday. Even if they'd never received the letter, they would've come home.

They always come home eventually.

#lich says shit #stardew valley #sorry for the stardew valley meta i'm just so obsessed with how FREAKY the farmer is. Like it's so fun #gonna write another long ass post about the farmer's bloodline specifically and. like.#why did their grandpa leave the valley?? why did their parents never go back??#stardew valley farmer #sdv

One big problem is I think these days it's very hard for someone to be allowed to say "based on all the information I have and how I understand it, this is the best course of action"

For one thing, there's people who will just be like "no, you're wrong" no matter what they're saying. I mean, even a statement like "you shouldn't beat children" gets a lot of pushback despite the mountains of evidence and... you know... the fact it's not great to hit kids

So that's problem one, even if someone's 100% right you'll have people going for the throat

Problem two though is that even if they say "oh man, this new information you presented me really puts things in a different perspective and I was wrong", there will be people within the group that they've been persuaded to agree with who are like "not good enough, you were wrong once, you're wrong forever"

Like there was a case with a mother who'd been anti vaxx, who lost a kid and was like "my god, I was so wrong, I need to try and help people see so they don't make the same horrible mistake I did", and you had plenty of people making fun of her and saying she deserved it

Like... she's on your side now, but you're still running her through the mud

You may see this and say "yeah, the other guys are horrible about this", no... groups I agree with do this true. I really have yet to see a group that doesn't have people doing this

The problem is when there's no vetting process for a group, and when there's more than like 5 people in it, you will start getting cruel and callous people joining the group and behaving badly. You've got to have accountability, you've got to weed out bad behavior in your groups rather than turning a blind eye to it

Anyway, I was just thinking about how there's stuff where I hold a different position than people I know on here, and how even if I said "you know, I've seen the light, you were right" I have a strong feeling they'd be like "nope, not good enough"

So what incentive is there for people to try and work with you and engage with you when you act like that?

I don't know... there are many bad things in the world right now, things that need to be changed. I think we can all agree on that, even if we can't agree which things

I just want to see solutions. I want to see us fix at least some of the problems, stop backsliding in the places where things were getting better but are now getting worse, and have a marginally better world and societies in the future (minimum)

So you'll forgive me if I complain about this, because I see the inability to have candid conversations as a major barrier to progress

As always I've left most of the details of my personal beliefs of this, those this time I obviously used some things as examples, because rather than saying what people should think I'd rather we all just take a look inwards and see if there's places we let our dogma get in the way of being able to constructively talk with the people around us

I'm not saying I'm right, or I have the right answers, I'm just saying man I'd like to see less suffering going on in the world and... and I can't do it alone, I know I can't just make everyone do what I think is best. At most I can try to persuade people

So this is me stumbling to try and find a path that leads to a slightly better world, by identifying one of the things I think gets in the way of moving forward
