I love gender neutral terms but I can not for the life of me figure out how to pronounce words with 'x' in them.
I am struggling.
#ferret thinks#how the fuck do you pronounce X#why is X the gender neutral letter!?? I can't say it! I am not a boy or a girl but X is so hard to pronounce#I see an X an my brain freezes#I can't fucking pronounce it

making my own because that other post kinda sucks
not enough room for "people pronounce & spell my name perfectly"
#i chose yes & misspelled—gender because although my (quite common i'd say) name is gender neutral there IS a feminine spelling#as well as other similar-ish names that are feminine as well#& people constantly think it's one of those to the point of ridiculousness#like i'll tell them how to spell my name & enunciate it clearly & they still can't get it until i literally spell it out for them#also my last name is common but like Irish or Scottish or something so people never know how to pronounce the gh (like a k)#everyone... except Norman Reedus. he knows how to spell my name#''hey plasma you keep bringing that up'' yeah because it's insane to me that Norman fucking Reedus can pronounce & spell my name right#but no one else can

you ever realize you never properly learned how to say a character's name, so by the time you finally HEAR it, you have no idea who they're talking about? cause I feel like I keep doing this and it's very confusing to keep being corrected like that
#I have this habit of only reading the first few letters and then completely skimming over the rest of a name#which leads me to just. totally making it up#ko-she-key (koschei from doctor who) and tin-tall-gia (tintaglia from the rain wild chronicles) are my favorite names that I've fucked up#the funniest part is I only sometimes chose to recognize the mistake and fix it#I do not think those two will ever be pronounced correctly. I just. can't. that's who they are to me#plus soz but you're a liar if you're gonna tell me the way I say “ko-she-key” isn't an infinitely more fun way to pronounce it#even if it is... y'know... just not even the same name FFVJVFJ#I'm not tagging either media cause I mean whatever if you find it good for you but I NEEDED to show off how egregious those examples are#I'm being so fucking serious when I said I SKIM over these names. I didn't even know how to spell them I had to look it up#in fact I was so shocked about tintaglia I had to rewrite hers three separate times#I have never in my life paid any closer attention to these names and after this I will continue not doing so#they are “kosheci-said-with-a-hard-c-for-some-reason” and “tintalgia” to me thank you and goodnight#—:*after these messages we'll be righttttt back*:—

whenever someone mentions tzatziki I think of that tiktok of that guy who pronounced it in a fucking weird day and it fills me with primal rage followed by a fit of uncontrollable laughter
#t#I can't even type out how he pronounced it#you need to experience it yourself#spoiler: it's really fucking bad

Afab clones reformation AU
Trans!Danny au in which all of the melted clones reform at a later point after Danny manages to get them to Frostbite and see if he can help them.
But because this is Trans!Danny, all of the clones reform with afab bodies, because while Vlad could certainly mold their physical appearance to be masculine;
Without that exterior intent being applied, their cores just kinda looked at what human DNA it had to base a body off of, and spat out afab bodies because they didn't really have the chance to develop their own identities yet (which is what normally takes priority in a ghost's form).
This exterior influence on their cores while forming originally is also partially what lead to them all being so much less stable than Dani (Vlad influencing Dani's shape basically failed completely, which actually helped her stability), along with Tiny, Monster, and Bedsheet looking so mutated.
Along with the poor cloning technique involved in their creation.
While all of the clones reform with afab bodies that are less malformed than their original bodies (Tiny isn't all melty and missing an eye, Bedsheet has flesh though she has a ghost tail instead of legs, and Monster is still extremely tall and jacked and very firmly swimming in the Fenton end of the gene pool even with an afab body), their forms are later altered by their emerging gender identities, so in spite of their new afab bodies not all of them turn out to be girls.
Bedsheet is agender and their form shifts to becoming more androgynous over time, losing the more feminine features that they'd formed with the second time around, such as breasts and wide hips.
Tiny is a transboy just like Danny, so there are jokes all around for a bit about him literally being Danny in miniature.
Monster however is very much cis, in spite of her immense height, impressive musculature, and more tomboy sense of style and presentation. [Think of a cross between what most people think of when thinking of Tall!Jazz/Amazonian!Jazz, and Vi from Arcane. She's just generally very much swimming in the deep end of the Fenton gene pool.]
Prime on the other hand is what can only be described as nonbinary/3rd gender to humans. As their actual gender identity is something previously almost exclusively found among the Yetis of the Far Frozen and a few other ghost settlements that have primary population that's never been human (where Prime chooses to live the majority of the time as the only Clone to inherit Danny's ice) and doesn't really have a direct counter part in human culture.
#trans!danny#afab danny clones#I was thinking about the danny clones and how dani existing is often used in trans!danny fics#so I decided that I should make a headcanon/au where all of the clones are actually afab#most of them just look amab due to Vlad fucking around with their biology to try and make them male while they were forming#so yeah the clones are all afab#but if we go by gender identity it's 2 girls 1 boy 1 agender and 1 who's gender was previously only known to occur among Yetis#also yes I could have just made Prime NB#but where's the fun and world building with that?#I can't imagine various parts of the GZ especially the parts that weren't created by human ghosts NOT having unique gender identities#I mean they've got yetis and plant monsters and amorphus shape shifting blobs and basically anything you can come up with#and you don't think they don't have fucky gender shit going on in there?#so yeah Prime is technically NB and is willing to use they/them for humans but that's not their specific identity and pronouns#though he still uses those terms and pronouns a lot because most humans just can't pronounce his actual pronouns as it requires a ghost cor#But also Prime who lives post reformation in the Far Frozen and eventually starts to develop Yeti traits and is adopted by Frostbite#ghost ice horns and claws and Yeti feet tail and fangs are in Prime's future is what I'm saying

sorry i do think that if you are a youtuber who speaks in depth on japanese pop culture and web media et cetera you should figure out how to pronounce names and places and words correctly
#if you're speaking to me about a mangaka or a celebrity and you cant even bother to pronounce their name correctly i dont care anymore tbh#like your words have substantially less merit to me if you can't have the basic decency to figure out how to pronounce a name.#and i dont want any of that quirky bullshit they do where they edit in a black screen w text thats like oops butchered this pronunciation!#like omgggg fuck offff im so serious. so annoying to me without fail

me rereading the Redwall books for the first time in years: oh so that's why my first foray into writing was in the form of poetry
#there are so many songs in these fucking books!#tho I can't completely credit them for me writing poetry#bc I was actually like actively a fan of poetry I think before I got into Redwall#big fan of Emily Dickinson right here folks#(also side note I looked up one word that was in one of the books#bc I was like ''hmm wait am I pronouncing this right in my head''#and NO I was NOT I v much was NOT#it was an Irish word turns out so yeah it didn't follow English pronunciation#but the funniest thing is that later in the book this word is rhymed with another word#and somehow I NEVER fucking caught onto me pronouncing this word wrong before#but I mean it's a British author they rhyme things weird sometimes)#speecher speaks

#i SEEM to remember this pokémon itself and some characters in the anime pronouncing their name like “wees-mur” as opposed to “wizmur#.” and i don't know where i remember that from#although i'm pretty sure it was in anipoké‚ i don't. like. ever watch anipoké so i don't know where i would've heard it from#BUT‚ in pokédex 3d pro or whatever the fuck on the 3ds‚ which is what i use to settle all pokémon name pronunciation disputes#i take that as gospel. anything the announcer guy in that game says is the truth to me even if i don't like it. but the thing is#for whismur. he says “wizzmur” just like i ORIGINALLY thought when i read the name. but i seem to remember the anime saying “wees-mur”#Wheece Mur. that kind of thing. i don't?? get it. i'll have to look it up again or something but that's my story about whismur's name#whismur#peperoany and wheace (mur)#throw some loodread on that bad buoy#actually before i set this into the queue lemme look it up. whismur saying its own name in the anime#okay yeah i can't find it i have no idea where i would've seen this. but you all believe me#i could never say anything wrong and i would never lie to you in my tags

"if people can pronounce x and y they can pronounce x"
People can't even pronounce my name and it's one (1) letter off the regular spelling
#Listen. I get the sentimental.#But people just fucking fail at pronouncing things or trying to sometimes.#My mom has a name that is a simple mashup of two names.#I won't say what it is exactly but she was named for her mother's first and middle names#It's super simple. It is 6 letters. The first three letters of my grandma's first name and her middle name.#And she has spent 55 years listening to people butcher a name you could EASILY pronounce by simply looking at it#I've personally heard people add syllables. Add letters that aren't there. Completely mangle her name into a different name.#Sometimes... People just don't fucking know the way a name works. Especially from a different culture.#ALSO the people you're saying 'well if they can pronounce Schwarzenegger they can pronounce x'#They can't! They can't pronounce Schwarzenegger!#They try! But unless you grew up Austrian you're probably going to struggle!#Seriously just look at how people struggle with Icelandic and Gaelic names#I grew up speaking English and I swear to God I can barely speak it!

Does anyone have the direct Japanese to English translation of Ghirahim's dialogue? I can only find deleted sources from the threads talking about them :(
#it's so cool to see the differences#ghirahim's melodrama is much more pronounced in English#whereas Japanese straight up suggests romantic desire (?) for Link according to the thread I found (albeit creepy desire)#but its super cool to see#he uses a lot of folklore references that are lost in the NoA translation#and is almost an entirely different personality because of it?#and so many people argue the whole 'Ghirahim calls Link a child so you can't ship them' thing#well. as far as I can tell that's not in the og dialogue so fuck OFF
