potentially controversial but i despise the spelling “launcelot” it looks so distressing to me normally i enthusiastically enjoy different spellings of names but launcelot is my greatest enemy. remove that u AT ONCE

Rewatched Bless you, Hawkeye and honestly, i don't think Alan Alda's sneeze acting is that bad- imo some are exaggerating their critiques

And I was going to put this in the tags but I feel brave today, but I get really irked sometimes with people saying his falling apart after Billy pushed him was overdramatic and comes off as humorous instead- i think people just get uncomfortable because loud and raw weeping like that is uncomfortable to look at and when people are uncomfortable, they sometimes laugh to break up how awkward they feel.

Yeah, Hawkeye was crying like a little kid in that scene. Because when he was a little kid, someone that he looked up to probably more than anyone- someone that he might have thought was his best friend- pushed him into a pond and let him sink before fishing him out; to top it all off, Billy made it seem like it was his fault for "falling in", and all Hawkeye said he could do in response was "thank him". And he kept that bottled up for years and years, never letting the truth surface, until he was subconsciously reminded of what happened and it demanded to be reckoned with.

I genuinely think some of y’all are mistaking pitch correction for just clearer, more forefront vocals

Okay so I just rewatched the hot sauce video and there's more to the melody of the jingle. Like it's not a melody they made up on their own, "if your food is bland / and it fills you full of rage / don't get mad / go to lucifer's cage" doesn't complete the whole thing, and if Michael had actually sung it would have sounded incomplete. Which makes me wonder. Is there more that Adam just gave up on after trying to make Michael commit for a couple seconds? Or is Adam just really bad at writing jingles?

Just doing a silly thing, but the ship name debacle for myself had been bothering me for months, and I have it narrowed down to a few now. Doing a poll here bc discord mobile won’t let me do it anymore for some reason lmao.

Mourynn x Caithe ship name

(Also bc apparently even tho I tried hard to make it obvious with the mourning themes with her, it still didn’t come across easily to folks, but her name is pronounced like “mourn”. I’m just at the mercy of the name creator limitations 😔)

Ok I know this doesn’t make it incredibly easier but what American (indigenous north and south) language would be the best with kana

gimme a sec i gotta look up some kana facts

...ok, i know cherokee is rocking it with their own syllabary (shoutout to the legend sequoyah!!), but the simple fact that it works well with a syllabary makes it a good baseline candidate. however they would have to reassign some phonemes.

I don't know if my elementary and middle school education was just leagues above some other schools or what, but sometimes I'm amazed at how much basic knowledge high-schoolers don't know

if you're bilingual/multilingual i really suggest doing translation as a hobby. nothing serious, just getting your favourite songs or poems or book passages in one language and trying to translate them into another one. it can be really relaxing, it has the same effect as doing a sudoku or crossword puzzle. it's just the right amount of challenging and soothing and also stretches your understanding of each language and may even reveal things about the meaning of the text you're translating! so if you wanna do something creative but feel kind of unmotivated, some light translating is a good way to go 👍

Tim is one syllable and Ivy is two syllables which means you can sing like “Max and Ruby.”
