ASLDFKJA CHAYANNE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW KOREAN HONORIFICS WORK

chayanne asks "형", "옇님", "아저씨", or "악어님" -- we're ignoring "옇님" bc i don't really understand what chayanne was getting at there? (if anyone understands i'd love to know!) but the others have ~connotations~ so let's talk about them

악어 says "you're calling me 아저씨 (ahjussi)? how old are you?" and then "of course it's 형 (hyung)!"

i'm going to venture a guess and saw that 악어 has rarely, if ever, been called ahjussi lmaooo -- the translator translated it to "uncle" but it's actually closer to "mister" - generally aimed at an older man who you're not too familiar with. and by older i mean like 40s asdlfkjasdlkj - married and has children who are in school type of person

but this also depends on how old chay is - if chay thinks of himself as like in elementary school or a "child" still then it would make sense that he'd call 악어 ahjussi - a 30ish year old might be mock offended by it, but it would be in the sense of "are you calling me old?" rather than it just being wrong (not 악어 going "no ahjussi. ahjussi no." like please use hyung i swear i'm not that old asdlfkjsdf)

hyung/형 is a much more casual word - it's also cooler, less distant than "ahjussi" - it's a very friendly word. if you're interacting in any type of personal way (that isn't official/business related) then you'd probably use words like "hyung" (for guys to older guys) or "oppa/오빠" (for girls to older girls) or "noona/누나" (guys to older girls) or "unni/언니" (girls to older girls)

"악어님" (acau-nim) is just really really distant and really really formal. like if 악어 was like grandfather age this might be acceptable LMAO which is probably why he didn't even mention it as a possibility asdlkfjasdlk

Y’know, I somehow managed to avoid falling into an obsession with QSMP when it first launched, but I’ve been sucked back into Philza’s content through the sheer might of his charisma in the TOTK vods and I fear my time is running out

#i watch too many things #fucking teetering on the edge of so many could-be hyperfixations as if im not deep enough in this hole already #i havent even finished the totk vods im on the last one. but when i was binging them it really left no room for anything else #i fricken REBLOGGED the SxF movie trailer but i havent actually WATCHED it yet #yet im sat here wanting to rewatch the anime. while im still like 2 or 3 arcs behind on the manga ;-; #anyway it will be mostly phils fault for being funny af and the nail in the coffin will be chayanne #i mean cmon little tough guy egg in a duck floaty this game was rigged from the start. + the metagame shit with the admins is too funny #if phil wasnt the perfect person to keep me engaged in this sorta thing id prolly just be sticking to the cool animatics #sea rambles #qsmp #philza

Smajor summoning a storm to cause ~10 players to dc so they have an excuse to restart ace race because Dream won (in color!!!)

#personally I believe that the redo was fair and justified. it affected such a large number of players that the results would´ve been skewed #especially in a game like ace race where losing just a few seconds can put you down a number of places (like fruit) #dream has a right to be frustrated at redoing the game. but from what ive watched from his vod he doesnt let it go #and he doesnt understand (or care to understand) the reasoning behind the decision. #as someone who´s really competative and also has a hard time letting losses go I somewhat sympathize with him #but his behaviour still leaves a sour taste in my mouth. the ´jokes´ during hitw. picking at the mods. ect #(although I will say I thought his ´technical difficulties´ was funny. i love mcc shenanigans) #it sucked watching scott´s pov where he makes a joke about being called slurs no matter which decision he made #and realizing that he actually really does have to go through this #(i know that dream is not directly responsible for his audience´s reactions. #but i think he needs to understand that a group of them will act on what he says. and because his fanbase is large so is that group) #i try to avoid twitter every mcc because everything has become so polarized. especially around dream. like buildmart... #(which is a whole other post in itself) #sorry this turned into a rant lol

Man… it really takes the wind out of my sails when I try a new FVN and I just don’t like it. Like. I only download stuff that looks promising, and I’d been keeping an eye on this one prior to release for a while, so I was so sure I would like this one, too. And the art’s great! I already knew that! The menus are good and there’s solid QoL stuff built in… but the actual writing just felt sooooo clumsy it completely put me off. Just aggressively mood-dampening

#not to mention the downright hostile level of vocab… #I decided to stop reading the glossary entries bc half of them were just towns I didn’t need to know about. it didn’t help #the other half were nonsense names for hyper specific species that absolutely could have been made more simple to grok #and I KNOW the author knew it was gonna be tricky for some to parse bc everything had pronunciation guides (not bad but telling) #like. c’mon man. you made your fantasy words so unintuitive you lampshaded how there’s silent vowels. that doesn’t fix the issue #the production value is so clearly sky-high! I wanted to love it! #but no. the game’s writing was so violently repellent that I noped out maybe a couple hundred words deep #at least I have funny mtg ttrpg actual-play to watch tonight. that’s soothing the loss #edit: scratch that my wifi is busted. guess I’m watching the vod later. fml

fortnite friday with lando norris would go crazy

#i dont actually know if this is true or not i just felt like saying it #bc lando streamed fortnite today #not that i watched it. i was at work #and i dont watch vods like. ever #so #also 0 percent chance of this happening BUT it would be funny tbf #since connor gets like the most random ppl sometimes #txt

[youve-been-etho-d]

Another part that makes no sense is certain people not always joining us in games

#Like when Scar joined or Pearl subbed in for someone else #I'm thinking maybe it was adjacent to something I just don't remember or it just. Doesn't make sense no matter what lol #But anyways I remembered that round where someone kept doing the bleeps in the meeting #We had funny buttons #I don't actually think I know who did it in the actual vod but for me Scar was doing it and pretending he wasn't #Meetings were funny #We just got teleported to the table #And we couldn't walk away until time was up so when we just went quiet and had nothing we just. #Stood in silence then someone went alright good meeting and we all skipped vote #By the way since everyone's been obsessed with the VODs I'm not surprised it showed up in my memories #I don't think I'll get memories without watching source content so that's why I'm getting memories now #If I rewatch my source's Double Life I might remember things same with hermitcraft #you've been txt.tho'd

Tips on character voices when writing fic

This is written in mind for people writing fic in MCYT/QSMP/DSMP/Life series/etc kind of fandoms. But if anyone finds it useful for anything else, well then, hell yeah.

Character voice is big in all, uh, fiction, and mimicking it in any fanwork is big. But I think it’s especially big in these fandoms where the voices are so distinct – it’s usually how a Real Person Somewhere (the streamer) talks, versus something very scripted that you’d see in a TV show or novel. And it can be a big difference in your character sounding generic versus really feeling true to the original.

Listen to a bunch of your subject talking. If you want to write a character well, watch vods from their point of view, or episodes where they show up a bunch. Take note of what they say and how.

2. If you don’t know how to start doing that: try literally writing down what they say. Transcribe an actual exchange in fic-format. You probably won’t want to publish a literal exchange from canon, but it will give you a sense of how to physically write what they say.

3. If you do this (or just pay attention to how they talk), you will get a lot of: Stumbling, pauses, repeating words, filler words, weird sentence constructions, fragments, etc. I love em! Here’s something that comes through in improv much more than in novels or movies: Most people, even very charismatic people, are not very eloquent when they speak. Writing out conversations or sentences will give you a sense of the unique and delightful way in which your subject is not eloquent. vvvvv way more under cut vvvvv

(People use a LOT of filler/etc when they speak. It’s reasonable to cut back on this if it’s interfering with a nice-looking or readable result. I believe this is the eternal struggle of people who write transcripts – you want the transcript to be accurate, but there are also a lot of things you can obviously simplify and not lose the meaning. So you’ll end up falling somewhere on this spectrum either way. But I do think a lot of mediocre/generic fic dialogue is very stylized – it doesn’t sound like your guy because your guy literally wouldn’t say that. They would say it worse and more confusingly.)

(I’m serious, if you’ve never sat down with a short non-completely-scripted clip or real conversation or whatever and just written out exactly what was said, do it. It will make you better at writing.)

4. Wonda-cat made a really incredible list [link] of characterizing speech patterns for the Dream SMP members. But you can also do your own reconnaissance and come up with your own patterns, common phrases, etc.

5. You do not have to get EVERYTHING right. You’re not going to, like, get so deep into the speaker’s brain that you can produce “exactly what they would have said if they were somehow in your fic.” That is impossible. You’re just trying to evoke a character, and if you get a few turns of phrase to ring true, you’re doing great.

6. A lot of these people are popular because they are hilarious. Include jokes. Yes, even if your thing is angsty or serious. A lot of the most serious lore I can think of from, e.g., the Dream SMP or 3rd Life or the QSMP - the really story-defining, life-and-death moments - were absolutely hysterical. If you’re writing characters who are usually funny, then add some humor. It can heighten angst via contrast and a sense of realism. Ask yourself what a funny streamer would make jokes about if they were possessing a character in this situation.

7. Some people have the mystical ability to “hear” character voices in their head, and read things in their voice. If you can, do this with all of your dialogue during the editing process. This won’t always get you there, but sometimes it can catch things that sound wrong by invoking "that's really hard to imagine them saying". If you don’t have this power, try recruiting a friend who does.

8. So there’s dialogue and then there’s narration that’s still from a character’s point of view. I’ve mostly given you tips about dialogue, but a lot of this is also true for narration. IMO, narration is less about phrasing things the way the subject would, and more about recreating the way they think. I don’t have concrete rules on how to do this, but here is my wisdom:

You can get eloquent again - narration is more of an abstract and artistic process than dialogue.

Spend time with your subject’s source material.

Pay attention to what they notice and care about. How do you think they think?

Don’t be afraid to get weird with it.

That last one also applies to all art ever.

9. MCYT tends to give you a great boon you don’t see in other media: what the speaker says to their chat/audience when nobody else is listening. This can be incredibly characterizing even if you’re writing a story where people don’t have chats. It’s your person talking about their thought processes and feelings! Mine that shit.

10. Some questions that might help guide both characterizing narration and dialogue (that you’d get from dialogue):

How open are they about their feelings?

How often do they lie? What do they lie about?

What kind of metaphors do they use, if any?

How quickly does their mood change?

How can you tell when they’re in different moods?

What kind of things do they pay attention to?

How formal is their speech?

11. Finally, this is a little odd, but I find it’s much, much easier to write a character that sounds good if I, the author, like them and am rooting for them at least a little bit. If a character needs to be there who you don’t love, try to love them. Or at least get a sense of what other people love about them. It just makes everything else easier. I swear to god.

Happy writing out there!

anyone else love the behind the scenes and building processes of things like generation loss just as much as the actual product like i love to see the effort and the thinking behind each detail and how that was carried out and then being able to watch the vods and know funny and cool things like ranboo being sprayed in the face by fake blood when the box closed, or the fact nikis scream was genuine when she got shot by the puzzler because she genuinely didnt know whereabouts jerma was, or the fact one of the alarms during ep 3 was the fire alarm and they had to stop the fire people from crashing generation loss live LIKE ITS SO COOL

i also cant wait for the founders cut and all the little extra pieces and the extra scenes. and hopefully indepth streams of the behind the scenes and details of each episode and the process for everything. aaaa the crew that worked on generation loss are so talented and incredible and enthusiastic I LOVE IT!!!

Watching vods and q!Bagi saying that q!Roier deserves better than his weirdo husband is so funny because like. They are quite literally the only people on this goddamn island who can stand extended periods of time with each other. They are pen y dejo. Together they’re annoying enough to be able to chase q!Bad away when he’s in a pranking mood. They’d literally die without the other. Roier is the only player given actual access to Cellbit’s Fear Room, which is his literal mind. Cellbit is the only person Roier feels he loves that he knows loves him back. They’re attached at the hip. They’re considered one solid entity by both the fandom and the creators. Roier showed up to Cellbit’s presidential interview and together they ruined it. Cellbit was one of three people at most who came to check on Roier the night Bobby died, back before everyone knew he would be dead for good. Roier was the only one on Cellbit’s side during the Regret Arc, unquestioning about it. Cellbit spent that entire arc avoiding Roier because he knew he couldn’t lie to him the way he could to everyone else.

So maybe she thinks her new (and only) friend deserves better. But he’d just say he wouldn’t dream of having anyone else. He had an island full of men to choose from, and he chose the weird guy living in a creepy basement that smelled like blood and coffee, and he’d never want anyone else.

#it’s so funny though she calls cell a Strange Man #which he very much is #but he’s also somehow one of the most normal people #when you look at everyone together

Hermitcraft X/10

I've been watching Hermitcraft 10 for a while, as a new person that only got into Hermitcraft 9, mainly because I got into Empires Season 2. I know that a lot of the Hermits weren't that active during Season 9, mainly talking about Iskall, Stressmonster and Etho. So, I never got into certain people.

I've been following the people that I was mainly following in Season 9, like: Gem, Grian, Pearl, Mumbo, Scar and Impulse.

But season 10 has piqued my interest into others and waned my attention a little into 1 person.

So, now I'm watching: Grian, Mumbo, Scar, Joel, Gem and Pearl. Sorry, Impulse, but somehow I don't find your content that interesting anymore and I think it has to do with maybe the interest in your building theme. Which is weird, cause I'm really interested in Joel's theme, which is kinda in the same theme.

BUT! I have found new Hermits!

Iskall : I don't know what it is. He seems precious to me and funny. I've only been watching "behind-the-screen" vods, not his actually hermitcraft episodes.

Etho : Fuck, he is precious and extremely kind. His interactions with everyone is just so lovely and I really love his build.

Xisuma : I have a secret crush on him, this giant doofus. I think it's his voice, his voice is just swoon-worthy. But I don't know what it is, but I can't seem to pay much attention to him when he's talking.

It's not that I hate the other hermits, cause I absolutely don't. But somehow I can't get into their content. Anyhow, this is just my 2 cents, just having a bit of a ramble.
