saying this as respectfully as possible but. Do not put fandom content creators on a pedestal. We are also just fans contributing to a community just as you are. We have boundary on our own work and that’s it. What I say is not and should not be considered sth the whole fandom should listen to. I’m just a normal ass person ranting about things on my blog. If it does not have a fandom tag for others to engage in, do not make it out to be me trying to start fights or addressing the whole community. Because it’s not.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, my art, my lore talk, is biased. I’ve never tried to hide that I view Marika a certain way and will always develop my theory following that base assumption.

Aside from translation stuffs and pointing out in-game items, everything else I say you can look at it, agree or disagree, and move on to form your own opinions. Just because I draw stuffs doesn’t mean you get to saddle me with responsibilities about managing fandom expectations. What the hell? I’m a fan artist, I’m the last person who you should look at for “leaderism” (?) WHAT?

I can and will be a hater in my own space, like I know sometimes other artists will just post their stuffs and not engage too heavily with fandom, and for a while I did try to do that here (because I’m already a dramatic ass on twitter), that’s just not me though.

You will get art and you will get my opinions as well.

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.

"Were the numbers right?" "Your numbers about how high and far they could fly. That you got by sneaking out when you were supposed to be sleeping and watching them with stolen equipment?" "Borrowed," Leia said firmly. "I would never take your things like that." "Next time, 'borrow' the armor too," he said gruffly, the same as he had when Domino squad had caught her and turned her in, looking a little embarrassed and unsure if they were out of line. "Of course," she lied.

Leia in clone trooper armor, inspired by @this-acuteneurosis' Don't Look Back series, a time-travel fic starring Leia, Shmi, and Padme taking on the political quagmire of the prequel's senate. I 1000% recommend it, it's spectacular

[lightscamerabitchsmileee]

A hot take here: but can we all agree that it's not an artist or actor or athlete or any other celebrities' responsibility to be a political activist on every single goddamn issue?? Like for fuck sakes guys give it a rest...I'm sick of it

[bardnuts]

google show me "divine intervention"

[strangeswift]

chappell roan is 100% correct when she says fans aren’t entitled to her time because they’re literal strangers. and i will die on that hill, HOWEVER, i don’t want to hear you defending chappell roan if you got mad when doja cat said the exact same shit

[hussyknee]

[squishosaur]

hey man. i'm just saying. why would we put inexperienced teenagers with over-inflated egos and obvious emotional issues into combat classes and make them claw their way to the top of their dorms and expect things to just run smoothly. who actually thought this

[chloefraazers]

if you’re in a fandom and seriously upset enough at people shipping different fictional characters than you that you have to make posts about wanting those people to die, maybe it’s you who has a fucking problem?

The sixteen-year-old Cleo after the events of The Thistle of the Valley continues to work on her ink formula at Handkerchief Heights where Jake visits, alongside the former Association of Associates. Pip and Squeaks visit as much as Jake, for she’s the second person to know of their father’s death, and supports Jake’s decision to be their guardian, and helps out whenever she can.

Cleo honestly likes Handkerchief Heights more than her home of Ink Inc., and stayed there for eight years. She didn’t move out because she grew tired of it. It’s because Cleo after years of hard work, finally completed her ink formula. Cleo in her excitement, tells those of the former Association of Associates, and they hold a party of celebration.

However, a week before Cleo makes the official announcement, she got told of news of the City, of something that has yet to be made public, but will be soon enough. Anwhistle Aquatic, a place Cleo learned to be connected to Lemony Snicket and his organization, burned to the ground. Sensing that there’s smoke in the air (no pun intended), Cleo fears that her ink formula will be stolen away, and something worse will happen to her and her home.

Cleo ultimately decides that if the world wants an announcement, they’ll get one in the form of an engagement. Cleo one day before the announcement, tells Jake and the others of her worries and plan. Cleo then asks Jake if he’s okay with the idea of an engagement rather young. Jake tells her he would be fine with them in an engagement as seniors. Happy and touch by his answer, Cleo pulls out the ring that belonged to the man her grandmother Ingrid loved dearly, and proposes to Jake. The next day later, Cleo shows the world of her sweetheart.

Cleo always wanted a child (singular; one child is enough for her, thank you very much), so giving birth to Gustave has her crying tears of joy. Cleo is happy her son is interested in chemistry like her and his late great-grandmother, as well as knowledgeable (and he uses such knowledge to make the best cream soups). As such, Cleo has no fears of history repeating itself.

It’s only until years later, after a few months of the Hotel Denouement Fire, does Cleo reveal her ink formula, when hearing word that the organization Lemony Snicket was part of is gone, at least for the time being. Stain’d-by-the-Sea has gotten life back into it through tourism and other means. But that announcement properly brings the city back to its former glory, a feat that has Cleo thinking it would make her grandmother proud.
