thinking about the saddest factory radio episode when all of boygenius were on and (8 minutes in) they're kind of gushing about elizabeth powell from land of talk and it's so so funny.
thought i'd transcribe this one bit. the whole episode (sans songs) is here.
lucy: "what's the singer's name again? she's so nice"
julien: "and..."
lucy: "and. her. arms. are-
julien: "-NO! uuuuuuuh"
lucy: "fold me in those arms" (idk if she says fold or something similar but w/e)
julien: "AUUGGHHH!!"
lucy: "i'm saying what julien wants to say"
julien: "i am..."
julien being all 'i love arm' about elizabeth powell while everyone is 'i love arm' about her. something something cyclical gay experience

I am so tired of all new media being sequels and remakes and threequels and remakes and reboots and remakes and prequels and remakes and the lack of any creativity in nearly any creative field right now is absurd. I know Hollywood is allergic to change because that might not make a gagillion dollars for them but if you're that obsessed with money and also a vacuous black hole when it comes to creativity you should have been an econ major and gotten a job writing Business Insider articles and left creativity to people who know what they're doing.

listening to the cultaholic interview with kip and something about the moment where he talks about the box and says how it launched him into a deep depression during that time when he was on the shelf with the shoulder injury for months without anything to do and nothing but uncertainty about the future and his return just

i just think it would be sexy if buck got turned down as a donor because of his family medical history and broke down about it to eddie and was like 'idk, me and connor had a fling back in the day, but he said i wasnt what he was looking for....and i thought maybe this time id be able to give him what he was looking for' to which eddie could say bitch WHAT to buck constantly settling and devaluing himself and allowing others to devalue him. and at the same time the show would delicately and naturally let the audience know that buck is a queer man with a queer sexual history. idk just a thought

Shirley, I saw the asks about you're having British accent. While I can hear that on your writing, the 'you know' you drop at the end of sentence sounds very Asian to me. Singlish, probably, because I often hear that from people in Singapore and Malaysia (usually they say something like you know laaah~). Sometimes I say it too to emphasize the meaning.
I wish I took sociolinguistic seriously in uni because it's an interisting topic tbh. 😁
sociolinguistics???? that sounds SO cool the me that wished she took linguistics in uni is literally foaming at the mouth 🤣🤣🤣
ive always thought i had a pretty standard norcal/valley girl accent since i grew up in sf and was surrounded basically by valley girls. trying to get 'literally' 'like' 'so' out of my speech is an ongoing battle 😔 i do truncate and lose consonants while speaking, but thats harder to translate over the written word, as is my vocal fry. i adopted all this fancy vocabulary out of PURE spite from the first 2 years of schooling spent in esl 🤣🤣🤣
i picked up 'you know' (and puns) from valley girls stanning kim seokjin for....7....? years.....gods im old. my dad has been told often that he sounds singaporean and everytime he gets so insulted like his hk spirit is crushed x2 super effective damage 🤣🤣🤣 i wonder what he'll think when i tell him ppl think im singaporean chinese 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
yall have me convinced! i hope the next time i open my mouth in london ppl will stop looking at me like i commited unspeakable crimes on their royal language when the american accent IS actually the og british accent smh

this isn't related to rgg at all but finding out you're also a fire emblem fan was great... first the mention of the ike figure then the insane por prices LMAO? i had no idea... what games have you played?
Back In My Day i was known as ‘the eliwood/elihec guy’ and on occasion The Ike Guy LOL but yeah…. Guilty as charged……
As for the games ive played ive played Shadow Dragon (DS remake), Shadows of Valentia, and then FE6-FE3H + FEW (minus Heroes of Light and Shadow)
im an asshole for playing on authentic software hence why i skipped out on FE1-FE5 but maybe one day ill stop being annoying and pick them up on an emulator. Or IntSYS remakes them <- doubtful (well. The rest of the JP-exclusive games anyway lol)
