#It truly is nitpicking but like

Truth to be told it probably happened at least once in Groland. It's a satirical program after all. Not that I want to belittle your translation though, because it's really good actually ❢ That's just a little detail that kinda has a different impact for people who don't speak French, at least in the eyes of native French speakers.
It's just that "ta gueule" is really strong, it's not tolerated in class and most kid shows don't even use it, hence why people are suggesting "shut the fuck up" for a similar impact, but even this translation wouldn't be ideal. "La ferme" is closer of "can it" I believe. "Ta gueule" is more like a variation of "shut up" that doesn't necessarily include a swear word (it's "ta gueule", not "ta gueule PUTAIN" after all), so something like like "shut your mouth" or something cruder would have probably worked better in the eyes of certain people (I am however guilty of swearing like a sailor in English so I actually struggle to find swear-free alternatives to things – a perk from learning English through random internet users – thus my translation isn't good but I've tried).
I'm not claiming my translation is better than yours ; I just wanted to share the thought process that a bunch of people probably had. You did great in general and I don't want to take away from that. I guess it just felt a little jarring for native French speakers but I wanted to try to understand why it was getting such a reaction. And um. Yeah.
This meme is inescapable on French insta so I'm posting it here for all to enjoy
#It truly is nitpicking but like#I don't know I just thought ❝maybe there's something to learn from that ?❞#I have an issue of always trying to understand the thought process of people so like yeah sorry if it didn't make sense#Of course there's always something that gets lost in translation ; it's not a 1 to 1 process#But I mean. I guess it's the perfectionism speaking in me a bit.#I generally struggle with to translate things because I want to get the feelings ❝just right❞#so my go-to thing is basically footnotes.#Like ❝Ok today is Carnival but we call it Mardi Gras which means fatty/fat/greasy Tuesday and it originated from bla bla bla❞#Which work decently enough in a social media post but would be tedious as fuck in a (short) video#It's obvious you've thought a lot about this translation still#I guess we're just taking things for granted as native French speakers…#berry rambles#long post.

at this point i need you people to understand that if you can't see riize in positive light, leave them ALONE. psychoanalyzing their every move, every speech, every message is getting crazy.
#like ive spaced out for them for a while now for my health's sake because like i cant bear the idea that they will have to#keep giving im to a fandom full of bullies#and then theres a whole different side where they are just nitpicking everything#r iize does and tries to connect to hanie when there are NO dots#ofc i understand we need hanie to have justice and we need to keep protesting for him#but stop hurting eachother and all seven of them in the process#stop speculationing and projecting your views on the members you KNOW NOTHING ABOUT#briize keeel yourself worst fandom truly

"You're pretty new at this whole relationship thing, huh?"
"... Yeah."
#outer range s2#outer range s2 spoilers#outer range 02x01#maria olivares#rhett abbott#isabel arraiza#lewis pullman#rhett x maria#um... idk i love them#but why would they do this to me? it's gonna sting so much when they break up#her teasing him is my favorite thing#but also her calling him ''wonderful''? my god the squeal i let out...#the smallest little smile and the way he looked at her before he said ''good'' after she said she likes how she feels when she's with him?!#now i'm rhett going ''don't do this'' but instead of with his truck it's with the show#my biggest gripe is that she doesn't help him that much with his broken arm... except maybe to help him shower? /hj#i get why he was the one to get the snacks... it was for the impact of the scene but still#it's great to see them laughing and smiling so much! love that!#i think she smiled at least once while her poor boyfriend was getting freaked out by cats#he could not keep a straight face for that long after saying ''what does that leave me?''#i wonder what he was gonna say before she said she liked how she feels when she's with him... was he giving her an out?#he has NOTHING pleasant to say about her not even a ''thank you'' after being called wonderful smh /j#tw: food?#my girl didn't even say ''bless you'' when he starting sneezing :(#i switched the last picture because i like the way they were smiling at each other when he got onto the bed#after maria laughs in the car after the buffalo run past them i think i can hear the lowest ''so are we-'' or ''sorry''?#and i think that may be because lew thought isa broke character?? but i'm not too sure... maybe it's rhett apologizing#but idk? maybe it's just rhett saying sorry because he felt self-conscious about maybe sounding stupid... or maybe i'm just hearing things#i think the way he even said ''okay'' after she took all the snacks was similar to the way she said it before she grabbed the snacks#look i understand not getting a shower scene but they truly robbed me of seeing rhett and maria with wet hair...#just another little nitpick but i think the ''i like who i am when i'm with you'' would hit harder if we saw maria in scenes without rhett

new plans, matt sturniolo smau synopsis: coming home for the holidays has its perks; you get to see your childhood best friends again, you get to spend the holidays with the people you’ve always loved, and the list goes on. of course, it also had its cons— you have to face your best friend, matt, the one that you’re madly in love with and have been in love with since you were merely thirteen. little do you know, though, that he’s dealing with the same mixed emotions of you and the holidays; biting his nails as he waits for you to knock on his front door.

neeeeed ppl to not be so afraid hc characters over like. 25. i’m sorry but from srtt onwards y’all gotta start admitting some of these characters are in their 30s. you will never be able to convince me that kinzie and the dewynter sisters are anything but 30-32. pierce and johnny gotta be in their early 30s by srtt. if you look me in the eyes and say asha odekar is like 23 i’m gonna smack you
#it’s such a nitpick but it really bugs me. they aren’t gonna be corpses by 30 i promise😭#and in some cases it makes way more sense if they are at least that age#i think ppl truly forget kinzie is an agent and has to go through training and has to be a certain age to even get admitted to the academy#to become an agent you need a bachelor’s degree and then go through several years of training. it Literally takes like 5-7 years#combined w the fact she had to have already been working there At Least a year or two#at the end of the day pls hc whatever you want ofc this is just a general trend i’ve noticed forever

Ah, so it's legitimate suckery and not just any bias I may have
"Crackstone Crypt". Huh. I guess they just really needed an editor. *forgives*
✨four short paragraphs later✨
Oh. Not an editor. Needs a whole ass English lesson.
ETA: It persists throughout. This author legit forced "Crackstone Crypt", not "Crackstone's crypt":
and that provides for some awkward af reading. It's bad writing over a misconstruction:
What is wrong with them? 🤦🏽♂️
#it is not a proper noun place like “Bear Mountain” or some shit#it's a crypt#and it belongs to Joseph Crackstone#hence “Crackstone's crypt” <<< correct#IT'S RIGHT THERE#😭😭😭😭😭#weems says “Crackstone's crypt”#was this fucking written by AI? i can believe it being written by AI#tehlor kay mejia#this is legit shitty writing#this ain't even nitpicking#come on it's basic#it sounds like someone who was ESL wrote this#bad writing#bad fan fic#fan fiction#this is truly a lot like my cursed child experience#wednesday novelization#wednesday novel#joseph crackstone#crackstone's crypt#was this fucking written by ai? i can believe it being written by ai#on writing#writing#sounds like AI almost

this is such a good video PERFECTLY encapsulating why exactly so much of the hellaverse fandom is outrageously vitriolic. great analysis of the release structure and how that impacts fandom expectations. valid critiques but also an acknowledgement that hazbin/helluva are uniquely torn to SHREDS for things that they did not cause/are not the sole perpetrators of. highly recommend everyone check out this video as we get closer to hazbin's release
#truly sarcastic chorus a BEACON amidst the absolute shit show that most of this fandom is#this is like the worst series imaginable to project a puritanical black/white media consumption mindset on and YET#anyway sarcastic chorus is a really great channel for helluva content. REALLY great and well-written analyses good faith takes#he does criticize but they are VALID criticisms and not just baseless seething hatred for everything viv creates because its viv#and even when i don't agree with his takes i'm like yeah i totally see where you're coming from. also self-aware enough to know#when he's nitpicking or things didn't fit his personal expectations. no insane anti stances no hero worship just Good Takes#and that's why i want mr chorus for his brain not his body#hazbin hotel#helluva boss#mine#Youtube#video

Absolutely bonkers that we're now living in a world where people are holding up Cyberpunk 2077 to other video games and CYBERPUNK is the positive one in the comparison. (x)
#Cyberpunk 2077#Game criticism truly is an endless cycle of eating each other alive ain't it#Honestly I personally think that people who care about this level of detail are nitpickers#I don't ever see myself caring about NPC reactions like this because I suspend my disbelief in video games like these#But as a survivor of the times that CP2077 was on the opposite end of these comparisons it's crazy to see how the narrative flipped#And not necessarily through patches-- I don't think crowd reactions like these were ever patched IN just updated over time#idk I know it matters to some people but stuff like this personally doesn't matter to me so it's eyeopening to see the flip in the narrativ#at least in real time#Aldi speaks#And this is from someone who actually wants to play Starfield I really don't have a horse in this race

the journey of a writer is you begin writing just for the sake of writing and often hand wave details that aren't that important to you to get to the fun bits. then you decide you want to improve and you go through a rigorous process of thinking about lots of mechanics and abiding by sense and rationality, because the most damning insult to a piece of fiction is testing the reader's suspension of disbelief too much. this level of self criticism then colors the interpretation of other texts as well, where they are held to a particular standard where every detail must be perfectly logical, well researched, and contain no contradictions (cinema sins, if you will). nirvana is when you realize that doesn't matter and you go back to hand waving details that aren't that important to you.
#kat chats#i know i complained on my priv twitter abt smth like this but i just saw ANOTHER post of this caliber#i'm SO close to doing a deep dive on the suspension of disbelief and its merit as a method of literary criticism#spoiler alert i feel very strongly that if your criticism could be easily suspended through narrative buy in its not a valid critique#or at the very least the buck Does Not Stop at you not believing the author. you have to answer the question why#'it's not compelling because i'm not immersed' ok. why. what's broken the immersion#like. idk. sometimes there are interesting discussions to be had wrt narrative risk vs narrative payoff vs suspension of disbelief#and the fact of the matter is some narrative risk on the part of the author can lead to MUCH greater pay off#can lead to truly affecting art#and sometimes the narrative risk does not have a high enough reward to justify itself#sometimes this happens for only some people and other times this happens for large swathes of the population#shaping what literature we societally say is Good vs Bad#it's a good discussion to have in craft circles and to be aware of#but ultimately stories without narrative risk are almost meaningless. if they're even stories at all#and also sometimes your issue with suspension of disbelief comes down to pedantry#and forgive me but being a pedant does not make for good literary criticism#actually it makes you incredibly bad at it#you can't see the forest for the trees. you cant see the story for the extremely niche nitpicks that do nothing but buff your own ego#remind yourself that reading is not just a self indulgent exercise. you are entering a conversation where you have to listen for a long tim#and you must make meaning of all those words#you are not required to continue going through something that doesn't speak to you#anyways...

truly cannot stand the pretentiousness in the fandom sector of media consumption.
we write fucking erotica, it was never that deep.
#tiki goes -_-#sns but the dash has been full of subbing- anon hate and just bitching about other peoples work and it’s truly just so inane to me#I hope some of y’all are putting in the same energy into penning your NYT bestsellers or reading things you *actually* like#as y’all do with nitpicking and dickriding a amateur writers who do what they do for fun#no shade with it no shade with it

#— rambles with cadie#does anyone else have this same problem ?? like my sister thinks im crazy for not being able to visualize an object in my head#LIKE THERES NOTHING THEREEEE ITS JUST A VOID. its not even a void i couldnt even visualize that#the point is though.. i can never truly picture scenes in my head so im constantly nitpicking my drafts if they’re accurate enough or not

Twitter thread from 26 October 2022 by villainousfrnd
This is a really good thread.
#archive of our own#fanfiction#comments#fandom etiquette#truly#a lot of folks feel like they deserve my eyeballs on their garbage purely because I posted stuff they chose to read and disliked#you do not have to write a hot take on a fanfic#you can just be nice about it#you don't have to be sarcastic or funny#you don't have to nitpick#people put in their time and effort and sweat and tears into the thing#if you dislike it just leave#the thread's about fic but also just about anything tbh#I get stupid comments on informational posts and discussion posts as well

hope that for wicked part 2 they realize doing the color grading to be ~so~ realistic and bad was like a fun experiment but they’re actually going to make it look good this time and not so super washed out and ugly lol
#wicked#wicked movie#look this is the only thing I’m going to be a hater about#because it’s bad#it’s that bad#literally took me out multiple times throughout the movie cause I was just like ‘why is this sooo washed out and bleh???’#like is it truly so hard to just light night scenes and use good color grading???#must we choose only one or neither???????#like there are other things I think they could have done differently/better but those are all more so nitpicks or maybe even just down to#personal preference but not this#hope when it comes out on dvd someone will make a version that looks good#txt

Someone had the nerve to like and reblog my pinned post and when I went on their page was like “if you’re a usamerican or believe in transgenderism dni.”
So to respect their boundaries, I blocked their ass.
#if you unironically use the term usamericans I’m blocking you#yall get left on read like the idiots insisting we call Latinos latinx#like stfu yall just looking for shit to be mad about#we gotta get ppl to learn how to look at people different than them as humans#and yall wanna nitpick stupid terms being used online#like it’s useless and unhelpful stop#you’re so useless and stupid and ineffective to real activism#this is why no one takes the left seriously truly#yall act like idiots and then get surprised everyone treats you like one#smh#literally part of the fucking problem

#i finished rewatching arcane s1#and beyond marvelling at how fucking good this show is and how it addresses every complaint i have about western animation#(and apart from some nitpicks i truly think it's a 10/10)#it's funny how silco and vander often referring to each other as brothers doesn't produce the same reaction as... you know who#even more apparent with jayce and viktor which is The mlm ship of the show#like Wow people in fandom can Still ship characters who refer to each other as siblings without calling it incest?#i wonder why certain pairings are the exception#i wonder if them being queer ships has anything to do with it too!#many such cases etc etc#(arcane is so fucking good you guys...... the Worst things happen every time and it deeply caters to me specifically)#look i'm not being like 'queer ships have it better' cringe heterosexually talking about this don't get me wrong i beg you#but it's curious the patterns that form here#how we push back at 'cant two guys just be friends' but f/m ships are stuck in the dumb limbo of#'lesbian and himbo' or 'their budding dynamic is actually a sign they see each other as blood siblings'#don't get me started on the displays of biphobia that kind of thinking brings up
