#VA fails

TFP dub fails(Romanian dub here; I'm sharing my disappointment with the world)

Dunno why but I remembered the TFP dub for my country being better..

Except I checked it last night and besides Breakdown, Shockwave and Smokescreen, everyone was massacred. Oh and Silas and Fowler were fine among the humans.

I'm gonna list them as they come to mind:

-Starscream sounded very old dark and pertinent; I couldn't even listen to his voice for more than a few seconds because the mere association between that voice and Screamy scratched my ears. I'm being nice here

-Jack was a disaster. I can't even begin to describe what was wrong with his voicing. For starters.. the age was wrong, he seemed dead inside and spoke as if he kept on inhaling some substance. Raff was.. he seemed a bit fine at first but his voice would get weird and shaky and old lady like. And then Miko sounded like a lil sassy shopping spree lady that she isn't

-Knockout was just edgy af and Arachnid... Yk that mischievous, intelligent, suave, cheeky voice of hers that makes you(or at least makes me) slightly scared of her? It's all gone and replaced by another shopping spree girl, except with 50% more sass and the flavour of a femme fatale failed attempt which is the one trope I hate in cartoons with a passion

-OP may or may not have had some orange jam stuck in his throat; his voice was so bass and grave I couldn't take him seriously

-Megatron had the imemorabile voice of your regular cartoon villain except more clean and young???

-Dreadwing and Predaking had in common the most rugged voice in existence which made D sound like he had a terrible case of sore throat and Predaking... He was just pathetic in a way. Like a poorly voice acted goon. Nothing noble about him

-Ratchet and Bulkhead became younger and lacked flair. (young in the way that their voices would fit Jack or Smokescreen 😭)

-Arcee's voice was terribly edited to sound more cyberpunk or smth, I think in the attempt to make up for how bad the voice acting was and instead made it worse. She no longer had any warmth in her voice and sounded passive-aggressive all the time

-I can't even remember who it was, probably my brain tries to defend my ears, but one of the characters had the VA that our country had for Martha Speaks. Which was, in other words, obnoxious and playful. Playfully obnoxious. I couldn't get the association out of my head. I think it was June

-Cliffjumper sounded like a bratty cowboy who lived in the slums. Which doesn't not fit him exactly, but there was something off about it -so it came out as annoying

-Mags was.. dunno. It was a decent voice I think. But just like Raff's it had weird ups and downs. So for one second he sounds like a commander barking orders, the next like a crybaby

:v

I forgot about Hardshell tbh so ye that's life. I also didn't check Soundwave's only line because I was honestly afraid they destroyed him

BONUS: the VA picks weren't even the worst part. That would be the translation. A memorable moment of failure was in the episode when Smokescreen appeared and thought his 'plan' to blow up the Energon was good... The words Arcee used to criticize him were: "Era să ne faci chipsuri" or "You nearly turned us into chips" For being blown up. Yes 'chips' as in potato chips. No, we don't have that expression in the language. Me and my partner laughed at this way too hard

Moze x Jiaoqiu

warnings: none

word count: 900~

description: just them being domestic (pre-2.5 events)

moze is the type of husband who always cleans, keeps everything neat, he will run (quite literally) anywhere and do any errand without complaint, nothing is too hard or difficult for him. he is v protective, „I promise I will bring him back“, nothing is stopping him from getting his husband back, he is confident in his abilities, to the point he isn't even worrying. he always attentively listens to jiaoqiu’s ramblings, his full attention on the foxian. he will eat anything jiaoqiu puts before him, no matter his preferences. uttering simple praises after the meal and never letting his husband clean up.

at night he cuddles with him, being the big spoon, holding his husband close, face buried in the orangey pink hair. like a touch starved kitten, he gravitates to him during the day, always hugging him- backhugs are his favorite. jiaoqiu always smiles, a sparkle in his eyes with each embrace. moze is often quiet, very thoughtful- usually ending up blunt in his words but not cold, never cold. the care and love for each other shown in the soft words, gentle embraces and lingering gazes. moze doesn’t do causal touches, his hands don’t wander to jiaoqiu’s soft tail, or even softer ears, or to caress him. he doesn’t want to overwhelm his husband or make him uncomfortable. yet when they stand close he bumps his nose against his. and when he is so so tired he rests his forehead on the shorter man’s. recharging, seeking comfort, love. luckily for him, his husband knows his main love language is physical touch. jiaoqiu bringing his hands to cup his cheeks, thumbs caressing the rough skin. he misses the smile that brightens the foxian’s face, his eyes shut relishing in the sensations. such a sensitive and responsive man. jiaoqiu is the only person moze allows to touch him, to drag those soft fingers across his scars, through the silver hair, to see him shirtless. he is the only one with whom he makes and keeps eye contact. moze is the type of husband that even without being close jiaoqiu can feel his touch on him. sitting across him, over a hotpot. lilac eyes on him. full of love. as if he is caressing his husband’s cheek at that moment. making jiaoqiu’s chest feel warm from the feeling of such a silent expression of admiration.

on the days jiaoqiu voices that he feels tired a quick response is given in turn “I can carry you.” a blunt, straightforward, and the same offer every time. he is more than happy to carry him + he enjoys showing off for his hubby. not caring for the public opinion or any observers; it doesn’t even cross his mind, jiaoqiu’s happiness the only thing on his mind. sadly, he is always rejected (occasionally making him pout). moze doesn’t even know why (painfully obvious why, the rare blushed jiaoqiu further confirming it). shadows are his safe haven, but jiaoqiu is his peace. they fill each other's needs, like puzzles fitting together, completely domestic in their behaviors; perfect for general feixiao’s safety and well-being. despite working together they don’t get tired of each other. work is work and their house is home.

coriander is not allowed under this roof and no big lights are ever on. when they have guests, jiaoqiu compensates with many small lamps, fairy lights, and a bunch of candles. unscented ones. otherwise, they would clash with the meal. sometimes, jiaoqiu will light a scented candle, but it won’t be lit for longer than an hour, otherwise, he would get overwhelmed due to how sensitive his nose is to smells. moze being the clean freak, and insistent on maintaining really good hygiene and not strong perfumes so he can do his job perfectly would just make jiaoqiu purr if he could. type of husband truly only for him. jiaoqiu is quite a social butterfly and he drags his husband with him, who will grumble a bit and then go along, and behave politely to the best of his capabilities. moze cannot read a room to save his life, short in his sentences and straight to the point despite pondering his words prior, they end up always coming off blunt. he means no harm and what he says is usually of little matter, and none of it holds any weight to him when all he needs is to hear his darling chuckle or gaze at him and all is well in his world. the only result he could possibly ever wish for.

and when they kiss? the lighting and shadow with fire and spice? the I talk a lot, flirtatious, rarely flustered with I listen to you with heart eyes, mainly unaffected but you make me smile. well… they keep it private. such actions feel too personal and intimate for them to be shown in public and given for anyone to see on display. they hold it too close to their hearts, it matters in a different way to them. something near and dear. they won’t be caught showing pda, not even holding hands- well they rarely hold hands either way. it is behind closed doors and in the privacy of their home that their lips meet, and hands wander, leaving soft touches in intimate places that they’d never do in public (unlike many others). it means too much to them.

now that enough time has passed, do you know how funny it must be to tell a bunch of grown men "so hey we need you to meow into the mic in 1000 variations"

Many happy returns, dear @elennemigo 🩵🤍💛🤍🩵 😘

Never thought that I'd ever say this, but Helluva Boss with every flaw and fuckup is one thousand times better than Hazbin Hotel even when you compare it with the worst Helluva Boss episodes.

From designs, music, characters, plot premise, and especially in voice acting, Helluva Boss is better than Hazbin, and I feel bad for everyone that was waiting out for this show to happen.

There's a wolf inside of me telling me to let Nick take the 4th spot of my primaries but that would mean 3/4 of my top faves would be voiced by THE SAME MAN-

The German VA of Dorian posted a YouTube short today with a small scene from Inquisition. He often posts these types of videos of stuff he did in the past, but I don't think I have ever seen him post something about DA before. 👀 Could just be coincidence, but interesting timing though, right before the Game Awards....
