#which makes a huge difference to me

[70eeznutz]

after a bit of a realization about sixnine i think im gonna start blocking people who post it in tags without tagging the ship

winnerclock too but i don’t really check tags it could be posted to

#basically nine is legit afraid to criticize six #which happened after the bike thing which people read as romantic #which really doesn’t sit right with me #i get slapstick humor but like. it’s different when the receiving end looks genuinely afraid of what’s about to happen #with 4x and 67 the slapstick part isn’t accompanied by characters looking traumatized #which makes a huge difference to me #and for winnerclock. their relationship is really one sided and unhealthy and makes me uncomfortable

pay attention to theo’s beautiful face and not whatever matthias’s arm is doing... i liked the lighting more here than against the wall

#these are the last screenshots i wanted to edit from the ones i took on the 22nd and had been slowly editing throughout the week #will finally be putting mattodore in their thirties to rest 🙏⚰️ #river dipping #echthroi #matthias evanoff #theodore doe #a burning house to live in #ts4 #ts4 edit #simblr #ended up not doing much to these screenshots tbh… i was so into the audiobook i was listening to i kinda just. stared at the wall a lot... #my brain was telling me this wasn’t worth posting bc i’ve done so many mattodore edits recently and this isn’t anything different but. #like i did actually spend a few hours with these edits so. on one hand i’m like this isn’t really anything #but on the other hand i’m like. well they’re my ocs whom i love dearly and i’ll probably enjoy looking back at this #the same way i do all my other recent edits which i open my own blog up to stare at like. multiple times in a day #obsessed atm…….. #anyway. #god… matthias is so huge he always takes up so much space i’m constantly having to crop him out of edits 😭 #and these are poses that weren’t even made from me…. so he’s not even at his full 6’3’’ height and size like 😭😭😭 #he distracted me but that aside... i'm waiting for my game to open up atm so i can get back to tweaking alessandria's sim #her face is gonna take me forever................................. #ik i don't talk about my other ocs on here much anymore but alessandria is my third favorite oc (mattodore obviously being my top two) #so... i'm seriously gonna agonize over every update i make for them now kjdhknjf #ocs with tragic backstories save me................... #i’ll probably spend a few hours with alessandria in cas and then i’m going back to google docs to write more abt mattodore

Been LOVING your lil magician folks recently please continue they're beautiful and very cute and cool and also very well-designed!! 🥺❤️

thank you for the kind words !!! im not much of a writer, but i do have some sort of story in mind for them.. theyre bitter rivals who end up as roommates bc of their scatterbrained elderly landlord lol

#idk how much of it im gonna keep or change but thats basically the gist of it ^_^ #i dont know if i could ever write a solid linear story bc im very indecisive and tend to change things a lot so most of what i make ends up #very abstract or nonlinear.. just short drabbles or stuff that can be slotted into a general setting or premise #although i do want to challenge myself to try and write some sort of enemies/rivals to friends because i have a huge weak spot for that #dynamic!! i tend to be a little soft on my characters which i think has to do with me being a conflict avoidant person. so maybe exploring #this kind of dynamic will help me experiment with my sense of storytelling. although i cant promise it will be written well lol #im also thinking of making their story part of a bigger world so kinda like an omnibus?? i have another story in mind i think i can fit int #the same canon and itd be funny if theres like a bunch of wacky going ons between different apartment tenants nichijou style #but we'll see!!! thank you for your interest in these little shits!!!! #my art #myart #my oc #oc #presto #shuffle #house of cards #oc talk #ask #doodles #yapping

#you can tell i was too lazy to draw his boots #but you also can't tell me he wouldn't train barefoot #morax medium size for comparison #i like to think the size morax was shown in the moonchase festival cutscene is canon #which would imply morax can just change sizes at will #which is perfectly plausible given the man can shapeshift into whatever he wants #so turning into different sizes of his original form for convenience's sake makes sense #hence why the exuvia in-game is so.... small... #bc for those who haven't seen or don't remember moonchase #morax is like... bigger than the harbor.................. #which in hindsight makes total sense given osial was also fucking huge #anyway #last chapter's jellyfish and next chapter's seahorse #along w the classic narwhal #does that count as a spoiler? #i also have skirk's design ready but i kinda put her in the same canvas as someone elese and i think it's best i wait till they show up #ngl since i can never get a clear image of skirk in my head i don't always envision her with the design i made #it only happens with skirk #which is funny and i guess very fitting #so uh #yeah #hope you enjoyed these childes #genshin impact #should prob start actually tagging these things #.png #.png fic #.png cyanide

wordgirl oc ^_^ her name is dr. splice and shes a menace

#turtlearts #wordgirl #wg #my ocs #all my ocs are like the same but different flavors #sorry i dont have an original bone in my body #>_> #also. she literally came to me in a dream #the dream went like this: wordgirl and post squeaky boxleitner are just chilling in the lab that also looked like wordgirls secret hideout #because dream logic. anyway theres a huge screen and suddenly the screen opens up and dr splice shows up and shes sort of like #muahahaha wordgirl give me all the money in the city (or whatever) or i'll destroy the whole city (shes got like a massive crushing machine #hovering over the skyline) #and she also mentions that if wordgirl or huggy tries to destroy it then the machine will automatically activate #wordgirl is like. huggy is smaller maybe he can take it? but splice says that hes still too heavy and she laughs evilly and the screen goes #off. so boxy wordgirl and huggy are sitting there like what do we do??!?!? #and then boxleitner thinks to use squeaky to bite wires to break the machine from the inside and since hes so small he might not destroy #everything. but also hes squeaky and hes being a persnickety little bitch that just wants to chill in his enclosure. until boxleitner sort #of makes a deal to give him all the cheese he wants if he helps them just this time #to which squeaky begrudgingly agrees to. then my dream ends with squeaky wearing tiny little equipment before they like drop him off to do #the job. lol #anyway that was my dream #i have more character notes (non-dream sadly) for splice but i will add on another post later maybe since these tags are hella long

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness

Legendary Belmont

#castlevania #castlevania music #curse of darkness #music of the day #i will never forget the sheer panic i felt when i managed to land a hit on trevor and i only took a sliver of his health #his second boss fight is also the one that gave me the most trouble along with dracula #which honestly makes perfect sense #his theme doesn't just say that trevor is a huge badass #it's *scary* #those are scary strings #hector is terrified of trevor and for good reason #you really do not want him as your enemy #you can *feel* the disproportionate difference in power #this is not trevor's theme this is the theme of the one who destroyed lord dracula and is coming after you now #also this is just a sick boss theme #one of my faves for sure #the choirs the synths the strings the bass and of course the guitar all come together for an awe-inspiring piece #and i love how even yamane gushes about trevor in the soundtest

Elena of Avalor is genuinely such a good show.

#Personal #You know I've never forgotten about this show for a single day even after it ended #Just thinking about it makes me happy already but I recently listened to all the songs again #and directly interacting with the show and rewatching the clips from it hits so much different #I really need to do a full rewatch someday I haven't watched the show in ages #Just episodes I love most or something random for the content making purposes which is certainly not the same as watching for pure enjoymen #I probably realized it long ago but I'm currently in the 'analyzing my life' state of mind #and this show means so much to me on a personal level too because it brings up so many important topics to me as a person #And it just does it so well it's clear to see that creators actually cared about the story they wanted to tell #And really EoA also has absolutely fascinating and unique worldbuilding #and in the combination of important not trivial messages and dynamic layered characters this is just such a solid show #It really deserved to get more recognition #I wouldn't even say attention because lots of attention may cause more harm than good #It's actually more about recognition and acknowledgement #Really I'm not even talking about what a huge impact being a part of the fandom has had on my life #it's worth the whole separate post #I'm just talking about the show itself and how great and meaningful it is #Anyway EoA warms my heart and I'm so happy I encountered this show

Just for fun I ran to my desktop to aid me with Google translate, which isn't perfect. But given that I don't know Japanese myself....

Here's what I found; on my own, with only translate and my existing language skills.

This is wrong:

This is CLOSER, AND MORE INDICATED OF THE CORRECT SUBJECTS OF THE SENTANCE. :

While it isn't one to one, Japanese has a lot of feel and implication, from what I understand. There's a lot of context.

So I tried scanning the fan translations a few times just to see what it said on my own. I broke it down into parts:

AITSU: him, that guy (in this case, Izuku)

The "Nuguenee" part seems to mean "can't wipe it" or "to wipe away"

Kocchi- here

De nuguu - means something like 'take off with "

Eventually, I felt like it wasn't scanning off the screen well enough, and I actually WROTE THE KANJI in the translation of the panel out on paper, which was very interesting bc again, don't know or write Japanese.

But I scanned that:

(The word "if" is covered by the icon)

"IF YOU CANT WIPE IT OFF

I WILL WIPE IT HERE"

Shows that the verbiage used is "wipe," or "to wipe away," but it is SO MUCH CLOSER in spirit to "I'll step in for what he can't handle" and also the use of Aitsu indicated he is talking directly about Izuku.

I GET that the official translator's job is to try to capture the dialogue in a way that FLOWS for the new audience, since Japanese is a very differently constructed language than English.

They are supposed to find a way to translate certain things with keeping the mood and intent of the dialogue.

"OFA couldn't keep you in the ground, but we'll finish the job and then some"???

Where the hell did they get that???

I didn't dig any further back bc it might take a while but everyone has also pointed out that the original dialogue is a direct reference to the apology scene(I know it is in the fan translation but I think it is also being indicated that it is the same in Japanese as well? Pls fact check me of you desire)

So bc it was originally referring back to that scene, there is an added STING that comes with this official translation

And the ADDITIONAL BLOW that is katsuki once again being kind of...pigeon holed into the aggressive, more self-focused kid that he once was...a caricature of his former self, instead of his emotionally upgraded, self assured, "needing to help Izuku or he will perish" self.....instead of letting this moment be a crazy cool declaration about how HE is the one you fuck with when Izuku needs help.

Which like yeah, in itself is a little bit agrandizing, HOWEVER it is literally also serving as a vow or a completion of his vow earlier in the story that he will take on what he can't handle!

It's super important for Katsukis arc! It acted as not only a THREAT to anyone who give Izuku a run for his money and tests the limits of his OFA, but a VOW to Izuku that HE HAS HIS BACK.

He just YELLED ABOUT IT on a battlefield, while Izuku is probably still staring at him with heart eyes.

And ultimately, there is NO REASON THE ORIGNAL TRANSLATION, WHICH PLAYS OFF THE OFFICIAL TRANSLATION OF THE APOLOGY SCENE CANNOT BE USED OFFICIALLY.

It reads properly, and packs a HELL OF A PUNCH EMOTIONALLY. More so than essentially "I'm gonna put you in the ground bc Izuku CAN'T"

It seems like the fan translation kept the literal meaning but added the flavor to make it flow, such as "stepping in" "to handle" and calling Izuku a Nerd. But the official translation just tweaked it by too much to where it just reads differently and most importantly, doesn't carry that punch.

In conclusion, I did a little bit of independent research and decided that YEAH it doesn't make sense why they translated it so wildly different. Other than just wanting Bakugou to remain a frigging caricature, even in the Finale.

#bnha spoilers #which i mean at least they used the word we for putting him in the ground?? #maybe sorta implying that he and deku are gonna work together but dammit #this is again based on my shallow knowledge on foreign language reading #of which i do not know japanese #so huge disclaimer #BUT IT LOOKS LIKE I CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSIONS AS THE FAN TRANSLATORS #bakudeku #caleb critical #i dont usually come for caleb but idk this one got me a bit apicy #its just cus i dont know japanese myself #but like when i can put it into GOOGLE TRANSLATION AND GET SOMETHING DIFFERENT #just let katsuki Bakugou have his undying devotion and get to shout about it okkkk #bakugou katsuki #i hear its usually bakugou getting shafted by translation #basically stop making Bakugou a violent trash mouthed caricature #when he has his huge moments LET HIM HAVE THEM #let him have his emotions

more of that monsters inc au cause i got mildly obsessed with comparing fluffybird to the mike n sully dynamic

also some monsters university stuff, cause imagining red as an overly confident jock is straight up the funniest thing (and of course the lake scene ✋😔👌)

#don't hug me i'm scared #dhmis red guy #dhmis duck #dhmis yellow guy #doodles #also wanted to go for drawing really canon accurate duck for this AU #ill probably stick with the anatomically correct duck look for my regular art #but for a monster yknow it works way better #also very fun to draw #giving these guys names that match the movie's naming pattern was also very fun #all in all this is just a really fun au to develop and think about #what scenes would stay the same and which ones would be different #Also celia is just a s/i here because she's always been a huge inspo for me when making snake bases s/is

Fiddling around with an old Northumbrian tune I picked up recently. Lots of haunting slow versions of this but I've recently been inspired by a faster version featured in one of Fandabi Dozi's videos (which I highly recommend if you're into highland history at all)...

#playing with one of my nicer mandolins for a change #i.e. the one that does not come to the 18th century and back with me in cold weather etc etc #I love that one but i only recently realized how much nicer the tone is on this one #and how much louder the modern shape is #my usual one is a neapolitan which makes it look very period accurate but the volume difference is huge #anyway enough mandolin rambling #this is your captain speaking #folk music #the captain's musick

pathologic 2 ending dichotomy moodboard

#NICE DICHOTOMY IDIOT WHAT LIES OUTSIDE OF IT #so i finished 2 for the first time after playing thru classic and well... it was a let down #i could write a whole essay about why i was so disappointed w the ending #but imo the biggest strength of classics ending is its ABSOLUTE REFUSAL to explain itself. #did u make the right call??? idk heres a 20 second clip to leave u bewildered and doubting all your choices. #2 did not have that element of doubt for me it felt there was very much a “right” and “wrong” answer #which is hugely against the spirit of what makes pathologic such effective story telling imo #they were so mechanically different which destroys the ambiguity imo so yeah not thrilled #pathologic 2 #patho crit

[hellooo-one-and-all]

not particularly liking it when the subtitles on d20 get fancy with describing sounds makes me feel like such a buzzkill but also. subtitles should be accessible to the people who get the most use out of subtitles actually and some of these words and phrases are getting so fucking complicated

#dimension 20 #mentopolis #i say this as a hard of hearing person who's not great at paying attention and speaks english as a second language #(aka very much a person subtitles are primarily intended for): #the only time you should be using a word like 'ebullient' in subtitles is if someone says it #you do not need that word to describe laughter. ever. like that should be obvious? #it just makes what could have been 'joyful laughter' or whatever 10x harder to read and process quickly :/ #i'm also not a huge fan of 'cast lauging at xyz'-style subtitles when all you'd need to convey the auditory information is 'cast laughing' #but i suspect that that's an issue which different people who know things about subtitling might have different opinions on #like i've noticed different styles of audio description where some are very strict about only describing what's visible on screen #and others use character names in the audio descriptions before they've actually been introduced by name #and again i prefer the former but i have to concede that clearly opinions and practices differ and it's not black and white #but not making the subtitles more complicated than they need to be to accurately convey the audio feels pretty straightforward to me

[loving-jack-kelly]

it is Extremely funny that the whole watcher thing just ended after one weekend of people being like hey this was poorly thought out and a terrible idea. lmao. cringe fail financial decision.

#i think where they ended up makes plenty of sense! it's just an alternative to patreon tho #like i like their content i'll probably still watch ghost files and mystery files and if they bring back their scary stories one #the one with the cool art not the one where they get drunk I don't like that one as much #but i don't care enough to pay 6 bucks a month #they would have just lost me as a viewer entirely lol #also tbf i have adblock and sponsor block on my youtube so I don't see ads or even sponsored sections of videos #so i'm still not really helping them earn money lol #i just feel like they were aiming for something like dropout which works bc a) the number of projects dropout makes #b) the huge cast across all of their shows #and c) a much more established brand even at the time of their shift to streaming #also the fact that dropout puts out multiple episodes of different shows a week lol #and they needed to go more like mythical society from rhett and link #which is pretty much just patreon with enough extra perks that people are extra inclined to buy into it #like with mythical society people who pay more get physical perks like exclusive merch and free items every few months #plus a ton of extra content like bts stuff and extra episodes of certain things #that's what they should do. imo. #anyway. ive been giggling at this all weekend

Honestly, I'd personally love to see D2 take some breaks. Maybe have 2-3 years between expansions with, instead of seasonal content, smaller permanent content drops (alongside our few annual special events) between. It would mean longer without brand new content, but it would also mean the new content could be more expansive, more polished, and hopefully devs having even better working conditions. Obviously the "MORE ALL THE TIME MORE MORE MORE" crowd would never survive that, but it's sort of what's needed if they want better content. (But also I suspect the only way D2 could do that would be if they swapped to a sub model, and I don't see that happening. It also wouldn't work great if they kept their FOMO model alongside a sub model, vs what some other games do where you can sub and unsub as desired and won't miss out on important story, lore, etc. content)

Same, I would really love more time between content too. I don't personally mind seasons, but I think seasons should be longer or have more time between them. Definitely fewer seasons per year.

But yeah, it would need some massive changes to how the game works, how content is managed, what players can expect and so on. Historically Destiny gamers have been quite annoyed by any longer waits between content drops which is probably partially what inspired the seasonal model. And any normal player is often oversaturated with this model as it is now, but the same people who complained before are complaining now as well. So there's no winning here with the Gamers (TM).

They did announce some changes post-TFS that they'll tell us about during the showcase so we'll probably get some insight into how things will go after. I assume there will be some changes to this model. I hope they go for more breaks and longer dev cycles.

#destiny 2 #ask #i'm personally not a fan of subsciptions of any kind they stress me out so much #when i know that something will have to be paid for each month. eugh. #this can sometimes also be a trap where you think 'i'll just cancel when i'm not playing' but then end up keeping it just in case #which ends up costing you more. pretty much every subscription service works that way to make you reluctant to switch it on and off #but depending on this is done and how content is going to drop this could potentially be a good choice for the majority of the players #i'd still love an annual pack where i can just buy everything i need and be done with it for the year #but a different option would be nice too #one thing i'm hoping they change is the seasonal stuff going away #but that will require such a huge restructuring of literally everything in the game so #we'll see in a week!

[afniel]

I have no self control. Like, at all. I told myself to give me at least a week off and I would not hear shit about it.

To be fair the entire contents are currently "Words go here" but still. That's three. Solid start.

Can you blame me though, the Vegas-Indy flight is so boring and I can get so much done during it.

#also I keep stressing that I'm starting with not much plan but then I started the last one with even less plan #and that went so well I'm sitting back kinda analyzing it going 'well THAT wasn't intentional but it's pretty cool' #so like. who needs a plan. I have a *direction* and that's different and enough to go on #planning is for people who are organized and have self-control and babey I have more ADHD than you've ever seen #the thing medication does is not organization #the thing it does is make me able to take actions in the first place #what those actions are going to be is still unorganized and entirely lacking self-control #but hey at least it'll get done which is a huge improvement! usually. usually. sometimes I could stand to Not tho. #but that won't happen. even I can't stop me so what makes you think anything else in the world can #also yeah the original file was titled 'fanned fiction' and still is in my head #writing

[pericky; a look into ricky's head during their meeting.]

---

"I'm glad you came, I wasn't sure you would." The wine pours, the sound of it drowning out the missing word in that sentence: back.

Of course, is the response, and the part of Ricky that's spent twenty years tearing itself apart to understand why vibrates with relief. It doesn't matter anymore. Of course, of course, he thinks giddily along with the words. He never needed to wonder why Pericles wasn't coming back in the first place; he was always going to.

I'm happy you invited me, and of course he thinks again. A lifetime of pretending he wasn't always going to either falls away. However harsh and lonely the world has been, all's right with it again; and the shy voice of the boy inside him that he's tried so hard to kill says, so quietly, I missed you.

#sdmi #scooby doo: mystery incorporated #pericky #ricky owens #professor pericles #anyway fucking end me actually. lay me down to die #i said i was gonna write more pericky and by fucking god i did #the 'why did you do this to me' to 'oh thank god you didn't actually do this to me' pipeline of abuse folks 🥲 #which like. their last conversation is yet another devastating example of ricky finally standing up to pericles' bullshit Too Late #ricky denounces him in the strongest terms he knows; based on his own feelings and opinions and the way he sees the world #(which: even then he can't bring himself to say 'i don't love you anymore') #(the closest he can get is 'i chose you and i can't take it back; the only way i can imagine not loving you is if i never had at all') #and pericles tries to go 'nyeh nyeh whatever i don't care' (and does a real bad job of pretending he is not obviously hurt lmao) #and ricky doesn't try to understand his logic; he doesn't try to reconcile a world where pericles didn't *really* mean to do anything wrong #his response is MAYBE YOU *SHOULD* CARE. #pericles' view of the world and what's right and acceptable are warped and *wrong* and he's the one who needs to get his shit together #'you shouldn't have abused me you shouldn't have killed cassidy you shouldn't have murdered a child in cold blood' #that is MASSIVE and i think it is really telling that pericles' response is to shut him down with force instead of trying to argue any more #and that in the end is the real true fucking tragedy of it all #ricky is making huge strides one after the other to take back his freedom from pericles emotionally #....and materially it makes no difference to improve his situation in the moment; because pericles doesn't have any less power to abuse him #he never has a triumphant moment where he Overcomes His Abuser and Breaks Out of His Control #there's nothing he can do to fight back until pericles is too Literally Dead to control him anymore #it is one of the rawest depictions of the reality of abuse i've ever seen and just.
