hey! i recently finished reading frankenstein and i am obsessed with it; i saw you mentioning in your blog that the audiobook version was also quite striking, and i wanted to ask which audiobook in particular you listened to! i am very curious to give it a listen as well. hope your day is going great!!
Hey!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the book!
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Colin Salmon. I found it on Spotify, it’s free with a premium account, I’m not sure if you can find it elsewhere but I don’t see why not! His voice for the creature is so guttural and constantly pained— you pity him as much as you’re afraid of what he’s capable of. I just love his performance!
I hope you have a good day 🥰

Today's gender (in honor of my roots lmao) is voiced by J Michael Tatum and Animated by @/ToastyGlow
(Also omg the BBB dub is actually amazing and I'd honestly reccomend it alongside the sub)

i love reading things set in countries that i'm knowledgeable and/or have been to because i can point out really minor errors in fanfiction. i think the average american does not know that in england (and apparently some of asia! which i only just found out) there are switches on power outlets so you can just turn it off instead of unplugging it. like 9 times out of 10 that won't come up but on the off chance it does i'm like ohoho. this clown has never been to england...! my favorite part though is watching americans (specifically americans because i swear to god people who speak english as a second language and/or are from any other country have some idea of what it's like to have an accent / personally know people who have accents? idk) try to write british accents like it is REALLY funny. i literally only lived their for five years and i never picked up a full accent myself (certain words and tones i did but they're mostly gone after living in the states again for a few years) but between living there and having a ridiculous amount of family there & visiting them often (like once a year if im lucky) i like KNOW what british accents sound like. i think some americans genuinely dont even know theres more than one or two english accents i think some people think there's like posh english and chav english and nothing else. maybe scottish accent gets thrown in there if they remember the uk is not in fact just england. i would bet real money they've never heard a welsh accent. anyway my point is it's really funny watching people who don't know as much as i do write this stuff. like i see it and i understand how doctors read this and go Oh that is so medically inaccurate. i get them now. anyway i dont remember what my point here was but please know if you are attempting to write a british accent. reddit and youtube are your best friends if you don't have a british friend you can ask and also rest assured even if you do ONE google search. it will not be the worst attempt ive seen guaranteed

I thought I could let Astarion ascend because I know I won’t next time but… holy fuck. I couldn’t do it.
The allegory for generational/familial abuse and choosing whether to break or perpetuate the cycle just… it fucking gutted me to watch him become exactly like Cazador. First thinking, well, maybe it’s better not to let 7000 vampires go free anyway, and he’s so desperate to feel safe. Then you watch him as he carves those runes into his abuser’s back, and when it’s all over, he’s ready to pick right up where Cazador left off and build a new army of spawn. He’s ready to do everything Cazador forced him to do, but this time by his own choice. His attempt to protect himself destroyed him, made him what he feared most.
I know he’s just a video game character, and one that really gets on my nerves at times to be honest, but I just can’t take away his chance to actually heal.
This fucking game, man. It keeps blindsiding me with these feelings.

like obviously they weren't gonna find someone who actually Looks Like Adalbert to play him and so the route they chose to go was just absolutely sublime. you've got this character who looks exactly like the stereotypical Token American Character that appears sometimes in anime, huge buff guy with a cleft chin and piercing blue eyes. and he's being depicted by a chubby japanese man in a blond wig. SUPERB honestly

Genuinely insane how Ogata's voice work for Makoto changed Kodaka's entire opinion about Makoto from "he can be kind of unreliable" to "actually no he's swag as fuck and extremely reliable"

I will say that I loved the Qimir reveal, that it didn't need to be a big surprise twist, it just needed to have momentum built up to it and for it to be a banger moment, and Manny Jacinto absolutely achieved that.
The way he switched between affectations, that chirpy little 'hello!' when Mae stumbled into the clearing, the way his face and eyes and voice would go almost dreamy when he wasn't hiding what he was anymore, the goofy little head tilts at a contrast with the genuinely menacing aura coming off him, the real danger he posed, all of it was exactly as satisfying as I could have asked for.
It was in that moment of, "You really didn't know it was me? Not even deep down?" that said everything. It was never meant to be a huge twist surprise, the audience was supposed to know it, that maybe you might doubt it because your suspicions were also elsewhere, but you at least were supposed to suspect it.
That reveal wasn't meant to be shocking because it was a surprise.
That reveal was meant to be shocking because Manny Jacinto acted his ass off to portray the switching between affected personalities of his character and to be menacing once you saw his real face, to have absolutely incredible arms, to prowl around that jungle set like a panther who has no conscience, no human vulnerability, no heart to reach out to. It was meant to be shocking because it was an awesome lightsaber fight.
The reveal of Qimir as the Sith was the best part of the episode because I was genuinely excited for what I knew was coming, I was on the edge of my seat to see his actual face, even though I already knew, I wanted that actual moment, I wanted to see how it would play out, and this show is at its best when it gives its actors the platform to actually do their job, and Manny Jacinto knocked it out of the park for me.
