Just imagining my f/o's gathering to celebrate my birthday. Eating the sweetest treats with me, opening the perfect gifts because they knew exactly what to get me. Making a cheesy speech or comment about memories made, jamming out to the most fun and carefree music, taking photos that I will cherish for so many years to come. Playing games, laughing until our sides hurt, and just appreciating good company and a day to always find love in.

#I HAD TO SELF INDULGE OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#I'm sooo soft oh my goodness everyone #also this can be used for anyone obv #happy bday other Jan birthday followers <3 #self ship #f/o positivity #f/o x s/i #fictional other #imagine your fictional other #comfort character imagines #f/o prompts #f/o community #comfort character #f/o imagines

What I don't get is why news outlets and Netflix are trying to convince us that arcane was expensive to make. 250 million usd for both seasons they said, and obviously that's a lot of money, but they make the mistake of comparing it to big budget movies like Tangled. So you're telling me that I got an animated masterpiece that combines multiple different art styles fantastic voice acting and creative and passionate writing, that's 6-7 hours LONGER than major animated movies, and its the same fucking price?? And you're expecting me to agree with the corporations outlook, that it's too expensive? Yes, tangled is considered one of the most expensive animated movies, but arcane is like FOUR Tangleds. Many other 3D animated movies fall within the 160 million mark, but again, they're hours shorter than arcane was. I think the prices are comparable. I believe in saw someone (on reddit maybe?) divide the cost down to minutes of screen time for each show or movie and it becomes really obvious. I'm also pretty sure that many of these movie budgets do not include marketing in their overall expenses; arcane does.

This isnt even bringing live action tv shows into the equation; i dont think arcane even touches like the top thirty of those. And yet it's framed as such an expense!! Bitch its an incredibly successful tv show!! Ik Netflix is cheap as shit and has its own reputation to grapple with, but is the disdain for animation so much? Is it disdain for female lead action, for poc representation, for LGBT rep on screen? For the animation medium as a whole? I know the answer of course. But it's still very upsetting to acknowledge and think about.

Separately, arcane is absolutely crushing it. Ik act three is going to knock it out of the ballpark. Keep crushing corporate execs expectations please.

#if anyone knows a better reason i would like to hear it!#i like to believe the best about things #it lowkey might just be netflixes shitty taste in releasing tv shows and movies #but this one feels personal with beloved ans successful arcane is #arcane is just not an expensive tv show all things considered but thats the problem isnt it?? theyre only comparing it to animated costs #because they dont see animated as a real genre they can use for success #although COUNTLESS shows have proven otherwise. i dont get it #im glad arcane (and on the same note spiderverse) are paving the way for adult animated media thats not like fucking family guy #that has a beautiful plot and meaningful characters #obv theres anime but im talking about in the western sphere of things #love death and robots is also a very good example #arcane #budget #movies #caitvi #jayvik #arcane s2 #my posts #text post

exclusionists really love to tell other queer people to die bc of [checks notes] they dont fact check and just believe that bi lesbian has been coined (it hasnt) and the coiner was a terf (it wasnt) just bc they heard it from other exclusionists. and for some fucking reason believe that bi lesbian is a terf term despite a ton of the other people telling me to kill myself over being a bi lesbian have also been terfs.

"who cares to hear out fellow queers who are just using an unconventional label. i overheard an Unsourced Bad Thing so they must all die, obviously."

#also controversial opinion. even if something had a problematic origin and/or uses #it doesnt automatically mean it can never be used positively #obv theres nuance there and it depends on the situation #but regardless it doesnt apply to bi lesbian bc its been in use for decades by various people and didnt have some specific origin point #jfc. can anyone just do some fucking research and not just believe whatever theyre told #bilesbophobia #fellas is it homophobic and transphobic for a genderfluid aroace queer with a complex relationship with attraction #labels their orientation in an unconventional label while dating a girl gayly #clearly this is the worst offense to all of my fellow queers. me using a label for myself.#death tw

I'm saying this right now anyone speaking new Pokémon content into the world at tomorrow's Nintendo Direct better SHUT THE FUCK UP that IS A THREAT

I need the Pokémon company to learn that we can go a year without a Pokémon game without the franchise imploding so they'll fucking take their time with the games again so I'm going to need people to stop being like "oh maybe there'll be a Pokémon announcement that'll be nice" I AM BITING YOU I AM BITING YOU I AM BITING YOU I AM BITING YOU

we're fine! We'll live! Go play Pokerogue, it's fine!

#this is mostly exaggerated for comedic effect #obvs if a different team or someone they sub contracted us working on a new Pokémon game that doesn't mean it or legends ZA will be rushed #and if they just ported all the old games that'd be fine #but also I think it will literally not kill anyone to not have a new Pokémon game until 2025 #god they literally have not gone more than a year without a main series game or major DLC since the series started in literally 1996 #and if you include spin-offs that aren't mobile Jesus Christ #the last time there wasn't ANY spin off or anything going off JP dates was 2001 #WE CAN SKIP A YEAR IT'S FINE

so anyway I really did start compiling a kinyarwanda/english dictionary/grammar guide out of all the random resources i've been hoarding on my phone (it doesn't have to be great, it just has to be better than searching multiple different files every time I'm looking for some obscure vocab or grammar detail) and one of these resources is some PDF uploaded to the internet archive and it's... not great. from the writing and contents it's clearly

old (my guess is mid-1900s. I don't remember colonial and post-colonial Rwandan history specifically enough to guess well here, but based on some of the typos, it was done on a typewriter and then scanned with OCR)

intended for missionaries (some examples of actual sentences in the "translate this" exercises include "I praise God because He saved me and He gave me peace and joy" and, I shit u not, "The blind man cannot see the Word of God, but he can hear and he can know the love of Jesus." it's. well for one thing this is basically useless vocabulary for me, and also it's cringe af)

written by someone who was not a linguist (at one point instead of just saying "if T is preceded by an unvoiced consonant, it turns into D" they give you a list of every unvoiced consonant and then recommend that you invent a mnemonic phrase to memorise the list?! why?)

written by someone who was shit with pronunciation (legit so many places where they're like "there's no way to describe how this sounds, you just have to ask someone to make the sound for you" my good bitch the phoneme might not be in english but I could describe it just fine. skill issue.)

but the thing that's really killing me about all this is that every time they try to explain tonal vowels or phonemes that aren't in english, they tell you to "ask an African to say it for you."

an. an what now? an African? babe there are approximately 1.5 billion people in Africa. Africa accounts for about 20% of the land on earth, it's the second-biggest continent, and it has an estimated two thousand living languages spoken throughout the continent.

and kinyarwanda? it has maybe 15-25 million native speakers, depending on which source I trust. it's spoken (almost*) exclusively in rwanda, which is the 9th smallest country in Africa--and that roundup includes islands off the coast of the continent. It has the second densest population in Africa but it still only has like 13 million people in it. and it's a very unique language. its closest relatives do not have the same phonemes that kinyarwanda has, and its closest relatives are also spoken by relatively few people. I don't know enough about kirundi to say much but I do know that it doesn't have the same vowel tones in all instances and it doesn't have some of the same consonant clusters. and the more widely spoken related languages that you're more likely to stumble on someone who knows how to speak? they're even worse for a reference; ask someone who speaks kiswahili to pronounce kinyarwanda for you and they will not pronounce the difference between, say, umuceri (rice) and umucyeri (berry), or the tonal difference between words like umusambi (floor mat) and umusambi (crested crane).

so, like. it's just absolutely sending me, this random white lady who was obviously a colonialist missionary, bothering to make a whole language guide to teach me how to proselytise in kinyarwanda, but along the way she's like "just ask an african--any african--how to say this" lady less than 1% of them are going to know this language but go off i guess

*almost because there's the diaspora of rwandan expats and immigrants in other countries plus the banyamulenge which is a whole aspect of it that has so much fraught history on all sides that I won't even try to say something intelligent about it, it's totally not my place/something i'm educated enough about, but to my knowledge most of them speak dialects that are more or less dissimilar to kinyarwanda; kinyamulenge and kinyabwisha are not the same as kinyarwanda. take it from my munyamulenge coworker who could never pronounce the difference between c and cy

#i meant to write a snappy salty thing but i kind of just got going #like. i am scavenging this because it's one of the few things I can find that includes verb tenses charted out #and past tense suffixes are a bitch #but it's also like. i do not trust it. anything i don't personally know already goes in a file to be fact checked #legit this thing tried to tell me that 'komera' is a phrase you use to say 'excuse me' if you cause harm or witness harm #like if you see someone have an accident I guess?#newsflash that is NOT what it's used for we have words for that we have mbabarira and ihangane i just like #look if any rwandan is on here and wants to correct me please do but i cannot imagine any scenario in which komera means excuse me #imagine you knock someone over and instead of saying any variety of sorry or excuse me or oh yikes i hope you're okay you say 'tough it out #like i know 'tough it out' is not a literal translation of komera but it's contextually a good translation in certain circumstances #not all obv but whatever #anyway this is. i wish anyone in my household also spoke this language bc i'm dying over how absurd this stupid reference is #kinyarwanda #languages #we'll see how long before I realise that there's a reason it took samuel johnson that long to write a dictionary #granted he didn't have ctrl+c/ctrl+v on his side sooooo i have that #tw colonisers #i guess idk if those phrases from the book are like triggering to anyone but they put a sour taste in my mouth at least so

this whole discussion around rap is a reminder for me how silly the concept of loving/hating and ENTIRE GENRE of music is to me.

Like. Do y'all have any idea how much music there is in the world. I can Guarantee you every genre has AT LEAST ONE song that clicks with you, you just gotta find it

#funnily enough it was actually country music that made me have this realization #i used to say i hated country but that was just bc i hadn't found the good side of country yet #and it's outstanding cousin bluegrass my beloved #anyway if anyone wants some recs for (specifically nonwhite) rap artists i personally enjoy that you might wanna check out #obvs kendrick lamar is having a moment rn but his song “Alright” is legit one of my favorite songs ever #meghan thee stallion's “Circles” is also great and I particulalry like its hook #if you can stomach her Problematic actions outside her music Doja Cat has really fun songs like “Boss Bitch” and “Say So”#(the latter of which also has a lot of really pretty singing)#Rico Nasty's “OHFR?” is really great when you're in a mood #Lil Nas X has “Industry Baby” which has these sick horns in the instrumental #and there are plenty of others that i can't think of rn

drawing more furry fnaf art. yknow just to keep you posted. i love posting in the tags sorry these ones got away from me

#sammy is a brown bear (like freddy). his mom is white like funtime freddy #then crying child is blue (like bon bon. and to go with lizzies bonnet pink) (theyre not twins in my au but they definitely act like it. so #its like cute.) mrs. afton is blue violet (rockstar bonnie) bc i was running out of colors. i had already assigned her blue anyway.#max is black bc i seriously ran out of rabbit colors. or! no wait shadow bonnie. thats totally the inspo and not i had made his ears black #already. i think thats literally every rabbit color available. the afton family is pretty big. ig vanny. who would go with vanessa. obvi bu #shes not in my au. or at least not an afton. and therefore not a rabbit. if she was though shed be white.#and if you havent seen any previously drawn ones henry and william are yellow (obviously. they already have fursonas. theyre the reason #everyone else gets one. LOL) micheals purple like classic bonnie (who... is purple even if it was then retconned. hes purple. look at #withered bonnie. i hate ppl who say its just lighting. thats a lie by big blue bonnie. he was literally purple and then he changed his mind #like i said lizzie is pink like bonnet. and then charlie is black like lefty. because duhh.#DONT ask me about how this shit works okay. the rabbit dated the rabbit and the bear dated the bear. bc thats what happened. theres not #here. the bears got divorced. and the rabbits. the yellow rabbit and bear are fucking #no um. i like willry but i think if they were really fucking. i just think things would go differently. henry's gay in my au i dont think i #he actually had a man to fuck he'd manage to have children. its not who he is to me. will is bi but he obv thinks henry is some exception t #him being perfectly normal and straight. everyone wants to fuck their business partner. otherwise youd do it yourself #ig they can fuck after. i hate when people do these boring aus where henry and william never get married and william isnt a murderer and so #like what? theres nothing? just a couple of guys? if im looking for fics where theyre fucking im not looking for a fic where everything is #nice and clean. be serious. can we at least have some angst about it being the 70s or are you too much of a bitch for that too #anyway.....#simons spouting #simons fnaf au #OH also if anyone reads this whats the stance on this stupid idea i have where sammy pretends he has a thing for michael to annoy max. bc.#their parents had a thing for eachother. and sammy and max have a more familial relationship. and michael and charlie have a familial #relationship. but michael and sammy have barely met and do not at all. is it pushing it? i was thinking yknow from sammys perspective that'#'his sons' dad but! like you can fuck your sons dad. that's not weird. unless thats the way youre phrasing it i guess LOL. but i guess #michael would be like. thats 'my sisters' brother. and that is not someone you fuck*. BUT this isnt michaels perspective its sammy being #annoying. and from sammys perspective that is NOT his sister and there for NOT his sisters brother. *also im pretty sure this is subjective #if youre just friends. yknow. the ethics of sammy using this to bother max is not on the table because i think he deserves to be a #a bit of an ass. anyway LMAOO fkdglfg. let me know if youd like ive got anon asks on. please dont judge me for not knowing this.

(TWSB) it's so funny bc after like 50 ch in yeseo finally has the realization that cedric is left handed... but he's literally been described using his left hand like 1000x before this... BUT i cant blame him at all bc i actually only noticed/kept track of this on reread and on first read im p sure i also realized at the same time as yeseo 😭😭 ATTENTION BLINDNESS IS CRAZY..... there's just too much other things going on kdjfkdj (such as cedric's mesmerizingly beautiful face-

#twsb liveblog #LIKE THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY REALISTIC DKFBDN #HES SEEN CED USE HIS LEFTHAND FOR EVERYTHING HOW MANY TIMES #BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ITS ACTUALLY REGISTERED BC HES ALWAYS FOCUSING ON MORE IMPORTANT THINGS #like avoiding the ML and also getting distracted by his face and firey sun sunset garnet eyes #and being frustrated/baffled by his behavior #btw attention blindness is the word for the phenomenon where #u can miss rly obv things right in front of ur nose if ur paying attn to someone else #*something else #like theres this video i was shown in class where ur asked to keep track of how many times ppl pass a ball #and then at the end of the video reveal that someone in a gorilla suit came in mid vid and dances around #but if ur too busy counting the balls u dont notice #and then 2nd time watching the vid its like. so obv that ur like wtf... how could anyone miss that #and yet...!#(explaining just in case)#this isnt even the main joke of that scene xksnfj the main joke is that #HES NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THINKING ABT SMTH LIKE THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE #god i love yeseo sm hes sooo real

remarkably not okay overall really but at least there's my little video game guys

#my brother. who is an asshole. just got dxed with fibro #none of us were even aware he had any pain other than a repetitive strain injury and like. idk. i'm skeptical #but obvs that would make me a monster #and our mom probably has it so it's not that surprising #but also he has always been doubtful and treated me like shit and fakes shit etc etc #and just generally is as previously mentioned an asshole who loves invalidating others' mental and physical health issues #anyway yes. doing bad #scared of how he'll treat me going forward #now that he can I Have Fibro Worse Than You/I Have An Excuse To Bully You #(also tired of going through fucking hell to get dxed and then my siblings just. say they're kinda achey and get the dx immediately. lmao)#anyway yes remarkably petty but sometimes first children really are the first pancakes of the batch #txt #lacevent #(and obvs current events but. i don't owe anyone shit on my thoughts on that. that's for therapy. xox)

btw i forgot to even announce it but for like the last month i've been getting attached to golden freddy for some reason so i've added him as a test muse!!

#☽—— ⸢ ooc ⸥#.tbd.#f n a f /#y'know despite what i've said abt the movie i thought the actor for cassidy/GF's ghost was SO good #like i hated the whole 'william controls them ~somehow~ & they wanna kill a child' thing sooooooooooo much #but i thought he was so damn good in the role generally #anyway oooooooo you wanna write with golden freddy so bad #and listen GF is so ghostly and out there that i can crossover with anyone #but fair warning if your muse is an adult he's gonna try to get you killed no matter what #( for the record i do use he/him for GF himself as a whole but obv game!cassidy uses she/her & evan he/him )#cassidy is present by default but anything prior to fn.af3 will include evan in the background sort of #i wanna really fuck around with some cool writing ideas with GF #as for whether i'll write cassidy or evan pre-GF.... def not cassidy (i love her being so mysterious)#but if i enjoy writing evan i may eventually add him #( also i do default to the name 'evan' but i'm still iffy on whether that name's canon personally )#i'd say GF is the one muse i'd be willing to have a movie verse for but considering i'm immediately like #'minus trying to kill abby' i feel like it's no different than game verse lmao #not for him i mean #but who knows. if there's specific interest for it i'd be willing to consider it for GF.#fnafspoilers /#movie spoilers /

damn what a coincidence i was literally just researching lolicon phenomenon this week and now theres a kpop controversy abt it

#i hate that shit so bad hahaha. but anyways an interesting theory (proposal? idk proper terms) i read is #it rapidly developed after the us occupation of japan;#media culture rapidly grew to become soft power for japan since they were no longer allowed to #have their own military. so they fostered their media sector instead #also economic difficulties incentivized men towards fictional relationships bc it was less costly + less socially difficult #than attaining a real life relationship #-> which is also a contributor to japans shrinking population #and ofc japanese patriarchal culture helps to support the creation and propagation of this #now whether this can be taken as a fact im not completely sure. this was just one paper #it made good points but unfortunately it wasnt super well writen #paper is The Cost of Lolicon by Megan Sluzhevsky #its a pain in the ass to argue abt bc unfortunately theres no clear 'proof' that #illustrated csem correlates to real world csa #(like obvs it does but like. i dont think anyones put out concrete data for that yknow #its not the easiest thing in the world to 'prove'. unfortunately)#also the arguement of thought censorship and free speech.... *shakes fist*#now my personal opinion. i believe ppl who partake in this shit should die!#but im still gonna keep reading abt it. grrrr

i guess why i enjoy pokemon masters is because my fav protags--despite being blank slates in their main games--have personalities that match my hcanon
