I may have spoken too soon about the Ranma 1/2 reboot because I heard the English dub has ALREADY gotten heat for changing "who are you calling a girl?" to "who says liking clothes is girly."

I normally wouldn't care about a change like this, but the 2024 version of Ranma 1/2 is specifically a PERIOD DRAMA. As in, it is explicitly set in the 80s. Which was a smart choice on the writers' part because they knew there was no way you could get away with setting this show in 2024.

The fact that Ranma and Akane are betrothed at age 16, while common in the 80s in Japan (and most Asian countries) would be absolutely unthinkable today. Akane's misandry was comedic when the show came out, but today that level of violent man-hatred would be considered abusive. Genma's parenting was considered merely strict in the 80s, but today, his ass would have been in jail faster than you can say "Jusenkyo." And don't even get me started on how the presence of the internet, smartphones, and social media would affect the series' main conflict.

It's almost like the dubbers are treating the 80s like a buffet. They're picking and choosing the problematic aspects from that decade that are "okay", while ignoring the ones they feel "aren't." The entire purpose of making the reboot a period drama was specifically so you didn't HAVE to fundamentally change the premise.

I have seen it in Turning Red with the 2000s, and now I am seeing it here. What is it with modern western writers and their obsession with sanitizing very recent history?

#ranma 1/2 2024 #idk what to tag this #so I will call it historical whitewashing #I didn't care when urusei yatsura's reboot was sanitized because they updated the setting #same with yashahime because that's a sequel #but if your show is a period drama... you need to accurately reflect the sensibilities of that time period #like OF COURSE ranma would come across as kind of misogynistic and take outrage to being seen as a girl #he's not a zoomer or even a millennial he is a gen xer #it's almost like the dubbers forgot that

Just curious what the average level of personal investment in these sorts of things is. Like, how much do people usually get into silly stuff like this their friends ask of them? etc. etc. Which I know, only surveying a small sample on a very specific website means I'm not getting an exact average idea lol, but.. curious nonetheless .. Maybe reblog for bigger sample size but also this is not very serious at all/not worth a call to action gbhjbhjb

#which I know this could be context dependent like.. maybe you'd normally dress up but on a week that #you feel sick you wouldn't or etc. etc. - but I mean.. GENERALLY. in the most general average scenario #where you have the average amount of health and free time that you always do. etc. just based on your personality #and level of investment in these things - what on AVERAGE are you most inclined to do #also of course assume they communicate with you ahead of time and are not like planning a part last minute #like 'throw together costume in 5 hours and show up tonight randomly' or etc. I would hope that if we're going with the #AVERAGE of things - most people's friends have better communication skills than springing entire parties #on people last minute lol #assume you have like.. a few days-a week or so to prepare. however ealrly people usually start talking about #birthdays. In my experience it's usually one or two weeks ahead of time. Like 'oh next weekend' or 'oh two weeks from now' etc.#ANYWAY.. feeling a little Sick again of course but still trying to get some photos or something posted #AGAIN i promise I am not going to exlcusively post polls and ntohing else forever hgkjgnekj #I just really really love the ability to post polls and have always my whole life been obsessed with surveying people #I used to think I wanted to do that as a career somehow like.. be one of the people that does psychological interviews #or produce interview asessments for a company or etc. etc. I am always the one friend in the group thats giving out custom made #surveys or asking for other simialr stuff (did you ever take an mbti quiz? how about enneagra #m?? oh yeah I know they're not really scientifically valid or antyhing but like... DID you take them?? huh?? did you??please?? ghjj)#I simply cannot resist.. posting a little poll every once in a while.. as a treat #whilst I still fall behind on like actual content and costumes and stuff gbjhbjh #New poll adventure should be not as much of a wait as the last one was though since I already have the writing #for it really. I just have to do the ms paint sketch. hopefully no unexpected other health issues will get in the way #*** *** ***#< (anytime I do these three star patterns it is an ocd compulsion not me bleeping out words or something just ignore it lol)#(it means something secret in my evil brain just pretend you do not see it. significant only to me)#BUT YEAH.. ... poll... what type of costume party atendee are you?#:0c

My dear mutuals, I just realized something.

So, there's been talk recently about breaking Papita out of Mandos and I suppose more of us may need help at some point... but we need one fundamental thing if we are to be able to save one another from some terrible prison (or, idk, recognize each other in a supermarket...):

we need to have a song in common

Like, seriously, the default scheme for breaking someone out from somewhere is: character A start singing, character joins them, character A finds character B and gets them out. Except...

I'm not sure there's any song I could sing together with any of you.

We need to make a list of songs that we all know well enough. Seriously.

#i'm sober #it was just cocoa #and listening to the soundtrack from RoP 2 which is of course great #soundtrack I mean #the series i haven't seen #random #silm shitpost #no I'm not going to start the list you start ;)#yes I am obsessed with this trope why do you ask #but seriously how cool is that #imagine learning a really kinda below your level song just because it's the best your friends could come up with it and—#seriously I am sober #I am very normal about this #rambling in tags #one day I will conquer my insecurities and write a coherent post abbout how normal I am about this trope and what scene I connect with it #one day #but this is not the day #I should probably be forbidden from drinking too much dark cocoa when listening to music

WOAH, HE'S BIGENDER? I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!

#hey. hey. im just saying. he LITERALLY 'transed his gender' in a diagetic bit in orange. and if that wasnt enough.#in blue he disguised himself as squid jenny specifically with larry's powers (the only thing hes done with them on screen)#got caught by his god-assigned roles-obsessed caretaker. and was given the label of being something intrinsically unescapably deceitful.#while 'pretending' to be trans girl.#like. if i wasnt pretty sure it was all an accident i might even call the allegory here slightly heavy-handed.#with the nccts emphasizing a theme of 'youre not just what people say you are #you can be more than one thing at the same time' with crim #i think crimson can have boygirl swag. some bigender pizzazz. i think he deserves it.#is it REALLY a cpu kerfuffle arc without a subversive narratively relevant gender-transing.#am i supposed to believe the spirit of deviance himself is cis? get fucking real. grow up. /silly #also a lil crimtoinette in there. just for flavor. because i cant help myself.#also sidenote the nccts have given him this cute lil tendency #to tip his hat down to hide his face when hes trying to be Genuine or Thoughtful or Poignant. and i enjoy that little touch #i maybe like this guy a little too much. hes most of what ive drawn for months.#but what do you want from me. i read him as a queercoded villain deconstructed at the metanarrative level.#am i just supposed to be normal about that.#me and zia talked about this in dms and discovered. we came to a lot of the same conclusions. completely independently. lmao #cpuk crimson

No because one time I was crying because my mom made so many horrible remarks about my body and my weight and how nobody would ever want to be my friend or want to marry me if I continued to be fat and then she got uncomfortable because I wouldn't stop crying even after she told me to so she followed all that up with "I know it's hard to hear but the truth hurts."

I was eight.

TBH i kind of am into phonetics in a freak pervert way

#sorry i said that. but well i am...#GF that i make memorize different phonemes to pronounce for me so i can writhe in contentment <3 #amongst other things #that all dissolves out of my body the moment i enter my faculty & besides i am majoring in english #so my preferences are not really very present in the language unless you account for specific regional phonology in which case sure #but that is not something we will ever focus on i think... i mean in my level anyway Maybe if i get extra specialized later #my favorite sound ever in the world is the (voiced) uvular fricative ( & sometimes trill ) I LOVE IT so freaking KAWAII<3 #i only started noticing it like last year & have been obsessed with it ever since it makes me so. ^_^^^^^ HAH rawrWHO SAID THAT #this is the only nerdy thing about me not saying this to save face but like it literally is i am otherwise retarded in the literal way #when i was a kid i used to ask people to pronounce “ng” for me like as in ŋ & i would lose respect for them if they were unable to #they pronounce it as a hard N like that is clearly not what i asked make a little effort are you hearing impaired like. not that hard #it is literally the sound you make in “eating” “maintenant” like what is the problem here stop playing. yes that was insufferable of me #anyway but only for a brief time obviously i only held one grudge in my life which i let go as of recent #not against a person but something way larger ♯Peace♯Love♯Light #BREAKING: girl has the most normal common ****** ever >gets stoned anyway

#not sure if i talked about this here yet but I'm a recovering nail/cuticle biter #and last fall i started getting gel manicures to incentivize me to stop so i wouldnt be wasting my money lol #and it WORKED. because i got really really into nail and cuticle care #so now my nails are grown out and my nail beds have completely reattached #i have normal nails now and you could never tell i used to demolish them #i spent my ENTIRE LIFE with stubby little bitten nails and gross ripped up dried cuticles #and now i have BEAUTIFUL natural nails #except for the damage i accumulated from the gel removal over seven months lolllllll #so recently i stopped getting gel and i switched to regular lacquer #at first i was still going in to my nail tech but then i started taking the polish off in between appointments and practicing on my own #and in just a couple weeks i was good enough that i just stopped going in!#i just do my own nails now!!!#it takes me four hours to do it right lmao but its worth it because it's been a week and they're still perfect #only one tiny chip and NO LIFTING #im gonna take it off and redo it with a new color today because I'm bored of this color #but i could probably keep wearing this for another week and it'd hold up #I can't take all the credit because I'm using the Dazzle Dry system and just switching out the color with ILNP lol #Dazzle Dry is another fucking level omg #but anyway. I'm proud of myself #my nails look just as good as when i was getting them done professionally 😭#i am NOT a girly girl i don't wear makeup or shave a single part of my body #i get my hair cut specifically in a way that requires minimal styling #so the nail obsession isn't something anyone would have expected from me...#and yet my nails are always immaculate nowadays 💅

I read solving counting sheep recently and I truly cannot stop thinking about it

#like esp considering that i dont normally mess with the watcher/listener stuff bc i cannot commit to watching evo #at least not to the level that id really want to understand the story/lore bc i am an obsessive completionist when it comes to this stuff #anyways #god it was incredible what a CONCEPT #i love three sm #idk if the author intended this but it really spoke to me as part of a dissociative system #idk i dont have any cohesive thoughts atm bc my brain has been mush for the past week due to ✨️stress✨️#but i loved it a lot #solving counting sheep #scs #hermitblr #my.txt

funniest news ever. arctic monkeys might lead me to getting tested for adhd

#arctic monkeys #am #i’ve been questioning if i have adhd for like four years and more recently it made me wonder if i had autism #and i finally spoke to my therapist about it #did one of those self assessment things and adhd popped up like #Hey ….. you might wanna look into this ……#anyway it’s all because i mentioned arctic monkeys to her #and then when we actually started talking abt autism and adhd i was like #Hey ….. so …… the level of obsession i have with srctic monkeys doesn’t feel Normal …….

there is nothing that quite confirms link has A Future more than seeing any older counterpart alive and happy and starting to thrive or wanting to thrive. like oh. that can be me one day :) that’s it that’s the post

#* intermission / ooc.#‘ray why are you so obsessed with link-and-link(-a-like) dynamics’ you must understand that as much as i #write this kid some level of miserable i want him to heal — whatever that looks like for him — and be happy #and it’s a free ticket to that city through this hero-to-hero understanding that goes beyond what words #and actions could ever capture because it’s part of their very cosmic fabric. not saying that he will #never reach this state with anybody else but it is so COMPELLING. shakesp.earean tragic hero #except there’s two now and they are trying to make something of the tragedy for themselves #and it’s WORKING #< yeah i’m normal about links and link-adajacent people. why do u ask #not a study post but idk if i want to delete this. a vibe post. we will see #(i am aware the tragedy doesn’t come from their surroundings but a fatal flaw. this changes nothing)#tbmp.

favorite color?

#words #asks #i could have sworn i had a purple tag but i literally don't. what #text included bc too lazy to write stuff sbout how muvh i love purple. but if i was a creature who didn't have the color receptors to #properly see the color purple i wouldn't have a favorite color at all and would be one of those people who is 'neutral' about every color.#i would prefer the edges of shades that almost seem like something else but i cannot name it #(purple)#i am NOT beating the 'people who's favorite color is purple are never normal about it and always way more obsessed with their favorite #color tha other people' stereotype #but like to be fair other colors just aren't good enough to be obsessed over like ourple is..#i like purple on the same level i like like all my other interests like tma etc like wgen i see it its genuinely like HOLY SHIT and its #what my eye is always drawn to immediately in everything

dirtbag gaster is a very special headcanon to me like he looks sharp for work and social events but catch him hanging around sans’s shop on a saturday and he’s wearing like joggers and a pair of sambas with the soles worn completely down and a sildenafil lads shirt and his basket is just a six pack of bbr (bepst blue ribbon), a 16oz energy drink, and 3 cans of pizza flavored pringles

#alphys is coming over later they’re gonna take shrooms and play braid #you’ve never played braid? I HAVE NOT. NO. oh shit you g-gotta play braid #he gets to the end of the last level and he’s almost weeping #he spends the next two days obsessively seeking out all the painting pieces and secrets #d-dude are you ok. I AM PERFECTLY NORMAL. (he’s a wreck)#headcanon zone
