#When in fact I am very aware

[ieatsprunkis]

Okay to explain further more, I am well aware that it happens to other fandoms, it’s just that I couldn’t explain properly since I kinda wrote this in the night plus I was kinda pissed off that people are willingly searching up porn drawings of a fandom they’re in and try to “fix” the drawing for their own sake, so that prevented me from explaining properly, so please excuse me I’ll probably edit this and specify on what I’m trying to explain here lol, I’ve gotten another person to say that it’s not only the Sprunki fandom so please if anyone else does see this and is about to say that it happens to other fandom, just know I’m well aware, no need to point it out I also did try to say that it happens to other fandom is in this line, “Why do you willingly search up rule 34 of whatever fandom you’re into and fix the damn drawing?” I’m sure y’all kinda didn’t think I was hinting that it happens to other fandoms and that I am AWARE, so please, don’t tell me that it happens to other fandoms, this little reblog should be enough, so please give mercy on me

boo

I always wonder how people who hate rule 34 function because I seriously saw a video on “FiXiNg SpRuNkI RuLe 34” and it’s like, why are you even trying to “fix” it when you know damn well at the end of the day the original drawing is still up for people to view and indulge in, and if you hate rule 34 so much then why the fuck do you even view it at all? You’re only making yourself more mad and being an idiot. I swear, I’m gonna question my life if I see another video that “fixes” rule 34. And the fact that I see “fixed” rule 34 drawings on some platforms(mainly DA) is ridiculous, and especially that the people “fixing” rule 34 drawing are MAINLY minors is just…Why do you willingly search up rule 34 of whatever fandom you’re into and fix the damn drawing? PLUS YOU'RE A MINOR! THE ARTIST THAT POSTED THAT DAMN PORN DRAWING OF A DAMN SPRUNKI WASN’T MEANT FOR YOUR OWN VIEWING! IT WAS MEANT FOR THE VIEWING OF 18+ PEOPLE RAGHHHH! anyways yeah this is my thoughts on artists that “fix” rule 34

Wei Wuxian should be able to get drunk for once. I think he'd either be singing bawdy drinking songs on the roof of the Jingshi or he'd be getting irrevocably lost no matter where he is. He's found in the bushes behind the mountains like a cryptid, and then he's like "I can't believe you all got lost" (extremely slurred) as if he didn't get embarrassed by something Lan Wangji had said and just somehow disappeared when everyone looked back at him

oh ABSOLUTELY im walking with u and nodding and agreeing, i can see him becoming an absolute menace to keep track of at his drunkest.

anyway heres wonderwall The Gang (Wangxian & their fave group of ducklings) in a city known for its STRONG wine and wuxian being like well. ur all grown now, youre technically not juniors anymore. we have to see whos lasting the longest against this stuff!, smash cut to a suspiciously wei ying-less group of the worlds drunkest cultivators being wrangled through the woods by designated driver hanguang-jun, with at least 2 of them clinging to his robes at all times.

See Ya When I See Ya (Acoustic), Miles Kane @ The Caves Edinburgh 13/11/24

literal moments before this: a group of people in the crowd suddenly started chanting for miles to play standing next to me. he acknowledged it for a moment with the hint of a nostalgic/wistful smile, and then proceeded to level us all with reactionary, wry, raised-eyebrows look and launched immediately into see ya when i see ya instead. and this isn’t even my milex brain talking (the girl next to me literally went “oh wow”), the way he did it was genuinely SO loud. like it was an unmistakeable expression that so clearly showed he feels something about those two songs is inherently connected. it was such a from-the-gut, instinctive response and it spoke VOLUMES. i wish wish WISH i'd managed to catch it on video because i know my description is not doing it justice at all, but trust me. it really packed a punch. like there was this reminder of the most popular puppets song from the crowd (and one that’s particularly associated with all their milex antics at that) , and then this visceral expression from miles of "yeah, none of that anymore" or "look at where we are now" as he introduced see ya when i see ya. there were just. SO many emotional layers. and like yes, i know it's sort of an open secret that see ya when i see ya might be about alex and their creative/personal relationship, but god. this really felt so close to an open admission that that’s the case.

[thranduel]

how was this monologue real

*EDIT: finn confirmed at a recent convention that mike had no romantic feelings when he first met el in the woods (he was only 12 years old, extremely worried about his best friend and did not have romance on his mind… he even compared finding el to finding E.T.) so the “love at first sight” trope is nonsense

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.

stacy is sooo interesting because she's in love with house but knows that they will never ever be able to have a healthy, stable, sane relationship because they're too similar so. she finds house-lite instead and marries him and. essentially moves on with her life! and is successful in this because she's a moderately well-adjusted person!

wilson, in contrast, never manages to escape the inevitable, in spite of his best efforts to find a house-lite of his very own, because he's an absolute fucking freak and ends up glued to house to the bitter. bitter end

This has probably been already said but what about Raven!Neil in an AU where he escapes with Jean. They are on the run for a little while and amidst the chaos of two Ravens missing, Kevin's hand is broken.

Nathaniel gets word that Kevin is taking sanctuary with the Foxes' very own Coach Wymack. Nathaniel, being the shit he is, concocts the plan to get Wymack to sign him and Jean to make it look like their disappearance was intentional.

Jean hates the plan. Kevin hates that he can't get away from Nathaniel. Nathaniel doesn't give a shit at long as he is away from Riko and is on a court.

Not to be a downer and this isn't an indictment of people celebrating this, but I remember watching an as-it-happened documentary (my favorite type of documentary tbh) on the fiftieth anniversary of the Moon Landing and then halfway into it the spell it had over me snapped and I just started thinking "What did the people fighting in Vietnam, both sides, think of all this? Where was that 'moment of global unity' everyone has been talking about for the last fifty years that was allegedly during this moment? What about the people slaving away in factories or in fields or prison during this? What about the people who couldn't afford a TV because of rampant wealth inequality? There was so much vitriol in this moment just for people who wanted to be treated equal but I'm told the world as a whole and America in particular had come together."

I love as-it-happened documentaries because I love putting myself in moments that witness history in the making, good or bad, but I couldn't reconcile this idealized version of what I've been told my entire life and the historical truths I knew were going on as Americans landed on the moon

feeling the overwhelming urge to write a deeply self-indulgent doctor who/star trek crossover fic right now, because you know who else would fall so fucking hard for the master's goofy little spy schtick? julian bashir, that's who.

Wrote over 1,600 words while recovering from a procedure yesterday, somehow. This is the most I have ever written in Faded Daisy in one day ever.

I don't know how much of what I wrote yesterday I will have to change though. I'm feeling iffy about some of it. (The fact that Tievis is trans has finally been confirmed in Faded Daisy, and I'm afraid I didn't do it tastefully enough. But I think I did it as tastefully as possible considering the circumstances. But maybe I should change the circumstances. The fact I have a trans villain already means I have to be very careful in how I write him to avoid upsetting people, and it's very easy to accidentally slip into potential transphobia.)

i genuinely genuinely love when someone sends me an ask on bearotonin telling me about katmai fat bear week

fun fact, when you heal from insomnia, you'll actually get SOOO mad at a good night's sleep because you don't get the unbridled joy of waking up at 2 am and 4 am etc etc (more than that) and checking your phone and rolling back over with a smile because you have several more hours before you get to wake up. i went to bed and then woke up at 6:30... what is this bullshit 'healthy' sleep

unfortunately i have become aware of my own body at the age of 30 and the result has been gender

love using my knowledge of the bible to write fics. don't so much love having to look up every verse i want to reference in king james version instead of whichever of the three other versions i memorized verses in because if this character is 27 in ~2012 he definitely didn't grow up reading the berean study bible
