Listen...
I would not trust a single man I met while walking home alone at night
But Rei and Kazuki?
Two literal hitmen?
Without a doubt I'd trust them to walk me home
#This goes for both before and after the timeskip#Kazurei before the timeskip (and before Miri): They know what kinda scum walks around and don't want to see an innocent person get hurt#Kazurei AFTER the timeskip: OH BOY!#You know they'd be super protective!#“We have a daughter y'know”#“We wouldn't want her to walk around on her own at this time of night”#They'd spend the entire walk home talking about Miri and how proud they are of her#Kazuki's talking the lead in talking obv#Rei just agrees with everything#They'd also brag about their diner#Kazuki talks about Rei's French toast#Brags about it even#But still tells Rei that he has to expand his cooking skills#And when you arrive home you know they'd wait until you locked your door behind you#Okay so who's going to put this in a fic pls and thank you?#Buddy Daddies#Kazuki Kurusu#Rei Suwa#Kazurei

I was meeting a client at a famous museum’s lounge for lunch (fancy, I know) and had an hour to kill afterwards so I joined the first random docent tour I could find. The woman who took us around was a great-grandmother from the Bronx “back when that was nothing to brag about” and she was doing a talk on alternative mediums within art.
What I thought that meant: telling us about unique sculpture materials and paint mixtures.
What that actually meant: an 84yo woman gingerly holding a beautifully beaded and embroidered dress (apparently from Ukraine and at least 200 years old) and, with tears in her eyes, showing how each individual thread was spun by hand and weaved into place on a cottage floor loom, with bright blue silk embroidery thread and hand-blown beads intricately piercing the work of other labor for days upon days, as the labor of a dozen talented people came together to make something so beautiful for a village girl’s wedding day.
What it also meant: in 1948, a young girl lived in a cramped tenement-like third floor apartment in Manhattan, with a father who had just joined them after not having been allowed to escape through Poland with his pregnant wife nine years earlier. She sits in her father’s lap and watches with wide, quiet eyes as her mother’s deft hands fly across fabric with bright blue silk thread (echoing hands from over a century years earlier). Thread that her mother had salvaged from white embroidery scraps at the tailor’s shop where she worked and spent the last few days carefully dying in the kitchen sink and drying on the roof.
The dress is in the traditional Hungarian fashion and is folded across her mother’s lap: her mother doesn’t had a pattern, but she doesn’t need one to make her daughter’s dress for the fifth grade dance. The dress would end up differing significantly from the pure white, petticoated first communion dresses worn by her daughter’s majority-Catholic classmates, but the young girl would love it all the more for its uniqueness and bright blue thread.
And now, that same young girl (and maybe also the villager from 19th century Ukraine) stands in front of us, trying not to clutch the old fabric too hard as her voice shakes with the emotion of all the love and humanity that is poured into the labor of art. The village girl and the girl in the Bronx were very different people: different centuries, different religions, different ages, and different continents. But the love in the stitches and beads on their dresses was the same. And she tells us that when we look at the labor of art, we don’t just see the work to create that piece - we see the labor of our own creations and the creations of others for us, and the value in something so seemingly frivolous.
But, maybe more importantly, she says that we only admire this piece in a museum because it happened to survive the love of the wearer and those who owned it afterwards, but there have been quite literally billions of small, quiet works of art in billions of small, quiet homes all over the world, for millennia. That your grandmother’s quilt is used as a picnic blanket just as Van Gogh’s works hung in his poor friends’ hallways. That your father’s hand-painted model plane sets are displayed in your parents’ livingroom as Grecian vases are displayed in museums. That your older sister’s engineering drawings in a steady, fine-lined hand are akin to Da Vinci’s scribbles of flying machines.
I don’t think there’s any dramatic conclusions to be drawn from these thoughts - they’ve been echoed by thousands of other people across the centuries. However, if you ever feel bad for spending all of your time sewing, knitting, drawing, building lego sets, or whatever else - especially if you feel like you have to somehow monetize or show off your work online to justify your labor - please know that there’s an 84yo museum docent in the Bronx who would cry simply at the thought of you spending so much effort to quietly create something that’s beautiful to you.
#shut up e#long post#Saturday thoughts#this has been in my drafts for a week haha#also this is the heart of why AI art feels so wrong#forget the discussion of copyright and theft etc - even if models were only trained on public domain they would still feel very wrong#because they’re not art. art is the labor of creation#even commercial art and art commissioned by the popes and kings of history: there is humanity in the labor of it#unrelated: I did not know living in the Bronx was now something to brag about. How the fuck do y’all New Yorkers afford this city???

Danny accidentally starts beef with batman over kids
So I'm a sucker for dani and dan being Danny's kids (bonus points if danny gets called mum) and both of them are chaotic
The bat kids (family all of them batman and alfred included) are chaotic as well danny learns this after freshly joining the league as the semi immortal possibly from the start of time phantom and the league are introducing him to everyone and bonding and mentioning some of the wacky how the fuck shit that batman and his kids have done
So danny mentions some of the stuff his kids have done whilst batman is passing by, batman who hasn't had a nap in the past 72 hours and the day before as bruce was dealing with margie on the pta
And he makes a comment just a tiny one about how his kids saved a group from a hostage situation
And thus the rivalry began danny and batman keep bragging to each other about their kids sometimes it's vigilante stuff sometimes it mundane danny brags about how dani is so good with animals batman brags about how his youngest volunteers at the animal shelter
Just give me batman and danny bragging about their children to each other
#dpxdc#dp x dc#dc x dp#dcxdp#dp x dc prompt#dp x dc crossover#listen there's fucs where batman is a good dad theres fics where he's bad#now gimme the fic of emotionally constipated batman over coming it because he's just so fucking proud and can boast at someone#bonus points if the batfam find out via cameras or even just eavesdropping and hearing batman brag about something they did#is this ooc batman? probably#however i just want the only time batman as batman showing emotions is just yeah my kids fucking rock

wait, you're a lawyer? for real?
I got an associates in stage tech, a double BFA in Graphic Design and 3D Design, and then went to law school on full academic scholarship, booked twelve classes, fell asleep during the Bar Exam three times (but passed with flying colors before the curve), and the motion for my admission to practice (put forward by my brother, also a lawyer), started, "My sister has many issues, but the one before the Court today is that of her admission to the State Bar of Michigan."
And somehow yes, they do let me practice law.
#i try to to brag about myself because that is a midwestern seven deadly sin#but i will be honest: i am excellent at school. I could get a degree in anything#even things i would be genuinely terrible at#because im just really good at school.#it is not a useful skillset post graduation.#anyway my brother and i were in law school with an overlap of about a year and a half and our peers fucking hated it#because he went through and booked a ton of classes#breaking the curve kind of a lot#and just when they thought they were rid of him and the curve could go back to normal: here i come with the same bullshit#also to be clear the Bar is two full days . i didn't fall asleep three times in like a one hour test.#.... although i have also done that.

Everyone: omg Harry is the heir of Slytherin. He just spoke Parseltongue which is a super rare hereditary skill in the Slytherin line and it looks like he set a snake on someone in front of witnesses.
Draco: nah he wouldn’t do that I know him
#and he was right. just like he immediately could see that harry hates his fame#when that was hard for even ron to remember sometimes#meanwhile harry can immediately tell the difference between draco just bragging and actually seriously talking about being a death eater#and is never afraid to confront him alone even though he believes draco is on a mission for voldemort#given how relatively little they interact the way they understand each other so well is amazing#Draco Malfoy#Harry Potter#drarry#hpdm#h/d#dmhp#harco#draco/harry#draco x harry#harry x draco#draco malfoy x harry potter#my post

BABY SAID...
ty!
Hello, thank you for the support on my BG3 fanart. 🔥❤️
Some of you asked for individual full shots of them, so I decided to make it. There's an interesting suggestion with Shadowheart and Karlarch I might do as well...
"Can I use it as wallpaper/screen cover?"
Sure. Just don't remove my signature or modify the drawing.🤘
"Can I print it on my own?"
If possible, please consider supporting me via INPRNT. If you can't, ofc, I won't hold you, go on, print it and later drop me a coffee at ko-fi, darling! You can also share some cents via paypal. Send pics as well of your achievement. For personal use only. 🔥
"Can I print it to sell, use commercially?"
No. Unless you pay me 100kUSD.
🇧🇷"Tem print?" Sim. Só me enviar comprovante de 50$ no pix: 51648094000140 e endereço de preferência para o e-mail: niccoguedes @ gmail.com . Envio no tamanho A4 com rastreio.

I just think the polite, well-behaved young man who secretly enjoys murdering people with his bare hands and gouging their eyes out and the blood-splattered god who delights in carnage and gleefully exploding people with his mind should, hand in unloveable hand, embrace their primal rage, become avatars of the slaughter together, and be deliriously happy for all of 2 seconds before one of them invariably kills the other. and it would be a real coin toss who dies first
#sorry for thinking romance isn't dead#arkayne#malevolent#arthur lester#kayne#the way kayne is 100% here for everything arthur is his whole deal and “that's what I love about you” in 40 I know he'd enable him#and arthur at their first meeting asking kayne for help not caring that hes a walking red flag surrounded by hundreds of headless corpses#looking guilty as hell like. he didn't care!! perhaps b/c kaynes so open and honest with it. all the other eldritch horrors#play mind games kayne is unapologetic he brags about his atrocities & tells arthur hes a malevolent entity before agreeing#to a deal with him in coda. hes always been honest with him. only time he lies outright is re: yellow and even then. its complicated

Tobirama, wistfully: Everybody is always saying "this is your end Senju Tobirama" or "prepare to die White Demon" and then immediately die by my blade. Izuna used to insult my mother, spit at my feet and threaten to piss on my father's grave. It's a shame that he, too, died by my blade.
Madara: shUT THE FUCK UP
#tobiizu#tobirama missing the guy who made an art out of attempting to murder him because everyone else is boring in comparison is just so funny#accidentally bragging in front of Madara about killing his brother is even better#*hashirama crying* HE DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT I SWEAR HE'S JUST LIKE THIS. THAT'S HIS PERSONALITY#Tobirama#mip

The sharpness of the tongue defeats the sharpness of the warrior
Because I’m a petty asshole, I took an hour and pulled together my own version of the proverb on the new Sonic Screwdriver. Let me know if any of y’all want this as a sticker or something, and I’ll digitize it when I have a chance.
ETA: now available as a sticker! Links are shared on my blog :)
#gallifreyan#circular gallifreyan#doctor who#ncuti gatwa#sonic screwdriver#it’ll be really embarrassing if there’s typos in this lololol#there shouldn’t be tho. I spell checked it 4 times before posting#the bbc coulda had this for FREE#for the low low cost of letting me brag about it forever#it’s not even my best work honestly. and yet.#anyway the entire Gallifreyan discord server is making their own takes on the phrase so we can collectively clown on the BBC

in my ADA!Chuuya (along Dazai) AU headcanon it's important to me that Chuuya is also the one to start stupid fights with Dazai: silly bragging, dumb teasing, useless competitions. Because I believe in Chuuya's ability to be a model employee, but I also believe in his ability to revert to a 15 year old in Dazai's vicinity. I believe in Kunikida trying to keep them separated like a mother trying to keep her "good" child away from the "problem" child with a bad influence on them. And I believe in Kunikida's "not mad, just disapointed" one-hit K.O.
#i also believe in feeding dazai's ''kunikida is the ada's mom'' agenda#that's why i made a comic about my ada skk bickering because of kunikida's accidental prompting#<- said dazai should be more like chuuya and chuuya did not resist the urge to brag about it to dazai and it went downhill from there#let chuuya be petty even if dazai's too good at coming up with clapbacks#bsd#ada!skk#ada!chuuya#apparently i talk sometimes#i NEED to do more with that au i've even been given ideas

Absolutely criminal of them to give us only one case of ryutaro and no interactions at all between ryutaro and ryuunosuke. Like come on we all know ryuunosuke would absolutely be ryutaro’s biggest hype man
#dgs2 spoilers#dai gyatuken saiban#the great ace attorney#naruhodo ryunosuke#naruhodo ryutaro#inspired by how every time I go back home and visit my friends at the state college#my qpp will always. always find some way to brag about me#right in front of my face like my love my dearest bestie…..

Voice actors are NOT the same as actors.
It takes a specific kind of skill-set and training to be able to warp and meld the voice. It takes a certain kind of talent and dedication to hone that talent into the ability to meld the voice and invoke emotion with one's voice alone. Actors are used to using their voice secondarily to their body language and their facial expressions. It's all mirrored back on camera. They do have nuance. But it's a different kind of nuance and a different kind of training to produce that nuance.
Voice actors might get their likeness transposed on their character's design, and maybe their mannerisms might seep into the character's animation. But when it's all said and done: their presence is in their voice. They are bringing a character to life, showing that emotion in their voice, trying to keep a specific accent, drawl, pitch, tone in that voice and keep it consistent for their recording sessions.
The voice actor is like a classically trained musician who can play first chair in a competitive, world-renown orchestra. The actor (who fills the voice actor's role) is like a moot who played violin in beginner and intermediate high school orchestra and thinks they can get into Juilliard with that 2-4 years of experience.
This doesn't mean that the HS orchestra moot can't play. They can even be really good at it. Maybe they won competitions and sat first chair. But they are not in the same league as the person who's been training their whole lives and lives and breathes to hone their craft using the instrument and all of the training they've ever acquired to perfect it. They are not meant for the same roles. They are not in the same caliber. You do not hire the HS equivalent when you want to play complex music in a competitive orchestra.
Actors are not the same as voice actors.
And furthermore, actors - especially big name actors - taking the roles of animated characters for big budget films or TV pilots makes no sense anyways when - at least in the case of TV pilots - there's not a point to hiring a big budget actors anyways. That money could be used elsewhere (like paying your animators), and the talent that is brought onto the screen for X character could then be hired on to voice said character no recasting required.
I wouldn't say voice acting as a profession is in danger exactly, but it's certainly being disrespected and overlooked for celebrity clout, and this has ALWAYS been an issue. Shoot, even Robin Williams knew that much - which is why he tried so hard not to be used as a marketing chess piece for Aladdin and got royally pissed off when it happened anyways. People shouldn't go to any movie (but especially not animated films) because "oh famous actor is in it". People should go because it's a good movie and the voice acting is good.
People who honest to god think that voice actors are replaceable because "oh well anyone can voice act" or "I like xyz celebrity so naturally it'll be good" ... Honestly I just wish you'd reassess your priorities because you're missing the point and are part of the problem.
Voice Actors ≠ Actors.
#(i am incredibly passionate about this)#(and seeing celebrity voice actors in what should be a voice actor's role completely burns my buns it doesn't matter WHO it is)#(hemsworth as optimus? someone tell me one good reason why they couldn't get a good v/a to replace mr. cullen properly for the future)#(ben shwartz as sonic? dude literally isn't even a good voice actor OR actor anyways-)#(- A N D jason griffith AND my boy roger craig smith are still RIGHT HERE)#(jason griffith IN PARTICULAR would have pulled back SO many sonic fans that went to watch the film anyways. if not /more/.)#(and on top of that he has the same tonality and energy they tried to force this moshmo to try and emulate anyways so GET THE REAL THING)#(chris pratt as mario? i can at least defend /him/ and say that barring his failure to do a NY accent consistently he wasn't terrible)#(but mario's new voice actor could've been used instead and people would've clearly appreciated that WAY more)#(vanessa hudgens as sunny starscout in mlp g5's pilot movie? literally why. they replace her and hitch's va in the show.)#(don't even get me started on the concept of hiring celebrity singers to do musical theatre roles or not letting musical theatre singers-)#(-dub the celebrity voice actors you just HAD to hire for your film bc you're so worried about not getting enough clout to get ppl in seats#(that you're putting it all in this (1) big name hire bc turns out that you have no faith in your writing ability much less-)#(-animation as a medium.)#(and no before anyone says anything : no this is not me saying that ALL celebrity voice castings are bad.)#(there are some that aren't that bad and others that are actually pretty good.)#(i especially appreciate it when actors are damn well aware they aren't voice actors and try to LEARN from voice coaches-)#(-and/or their va predecessors if applicable.)#(that does not change the fact that the celebrity shouldn't have been hired just because the film wanted to have bragging clout-)#(-oh look at this FAMOUS PERSON we were able to hire — yeah ok. sure wendy. i want to know if this film is quality or not.)#(and 9/10 times the SECOND there is money spent on a non voice actor to voice the main character especially)#(that usually means somewhere along the way animation IS going to get shafted. if not w the animators themselves then in the way of-)#(-the actual animation itself and ESPECIALLY the screenwriting because it's especially been so dogshit lately even before the strike.)#(a celebrity being hired to fill a voice actor's role is such an immediate red flag to me and it is VERY rare that i get to be proven wrong
