Here I am, trying to sleep at 12 am, and the funniest episode idea just popped in my head:

Buck gets a head injury and starts speaking with a British accent for the rest of the episode

I transcribed what McIntyre said to Punk after his mania match

(I did this instead of working on my dissertation and it took an hour of messing with audio and replaying it until I could hear properly)

Essentially, he was saying that Punk is a good commentator and should keep doing it because if he ever wrestles again, McIntyre will end his career. He also really just wanted to rub his win in Punk’s face. Full Transcription is below the photo if you care.

Speakers

P: CM Punk

D: Drew McIntyre

M: Pat McAfee

G: Corey Graves

C: Michael Cole

(ST) is used when multiple things are said at the same time.

Transcription

P: Well, my hat goes off to the champ. I’m not gonna tell him he’s gonna keep it warm for me because I don’t know what the future holds.

*McIntyre stares at Punk, who stares back.*

M: I think he has an idea of what the future holds.

*McIntyre walks towards the commentary table.*

P: Ah. I’ve been here before.

*McIntyre gestures for the other commentators to move out of the way and they do.*

C: Ok.

P: Be careful. Be careful, Drew. Your wife’s here.

*McIntyre climbs onto the table and crawls towards Punk, pushing the belt towards him.*

M: Like a jungle cat on our commentary desk.

*Punk applauds him.*

P: Congratulations. Have fun taking selfies on the internet with it.

*McIntyre kneels on the desk in front of Punk.*

D: I want you to know, every single thing I’ve said about you, I meant every single word.

P: I want you to know that I can’t hear a word you’re saying because I have cans on.

D: And let me tell you something. Right where you’re sitting, I’ll give you props, you got that down like nobody else. Step back in that ring ever again, I won’t put you out for a few months, I’ll end your career.

*Punk laughs.*

D: I’m not playing you; you think it’s funny? I’m not playing you.

P: I think it’s hilarious.

(ST) P: People bigger than you have told me that my career is over.

(ST) D: You’re welcome here.

D: Step back in the ring, I’ll end your career. This is my moment.

P: It is your moment. Why are you- why are you here? Why are you in my face? Why are you making it about me?

D: Because I want to rub it in your goddamn face!

*McIntyre gets up to crouch in front of Punk with the belt.*

(ST) D: Get this shot! I want this framed on my wall!

(ST) P: Alright man. Alright get it.

*Crowd starts chanting “CM Punk”.*

P: I ain’t never won a title and heard other people chanting somebody else’s name.

*McIntyre stands up and gives the DX “suck it” gesture with one hand while holding the belt in the other.*

M: Oh geez.

P: Alright. Ok.

M: Right in his face. He did that right in his face.

*Punk knocks McIntyre over and starts a fight.*

G: Wait a minute!

C: Oh my God!

You can pry "Hux has a very slight Arkanisian accent if you know what you're listening for, that gets stronger when he's enraged upset etc, and he is in complete denial about it" from my cold dead hands

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.

Oh my gosh he is the most handsome and caring man out there

[antisocialxconstruct]

Vartan and I have been mercilessly bullying talking about Ever a lot lately and it got me thinking about his host body pre-insectification. I've always imagined he was probably just a random tourist mucking around in the wrong part of Hong Kong. Jing picked him because there wouldn't be anyone to notice his disappearance right away, and when people back home did start to worry it'd be way too hard to launch any sort of serious investigation. I feel like he was already kind of an asshole but he probably didn't deserve being hollowed out so a big nasty bug could hide inside him and bleach his hair all to shit :/

I find it amusing that Britworth is a popular headcanon, yet everytime the games have had someone voice him in a British accent; pretty much everyone in the fandom has hated it.

The More Loving One 🐋🌈✨

How should we like it were stars to burn With a passion for us we could not return? If equal affection cannot be, Let the more loving one be me. - The More Loving One - W.H. Auden

Character design for Aisling, in the whale au (that isn't an AU anymore but I'm still not 100% committed to the title). Marine Biologist, public menace on a bike, shark apologist. More infos under the cut! Here's Naroa

Aisling O’Faoláin is an half-Irish, half-italian marine biologist dead set in having her research on social behaviours in sperm whales published, and the honour of the family restored. Which may come a little difficult if it's 1907, Oxford doesn't grand degrees to women, and your father was a professor until they discovered he passed too much money to the Fenian society and he was kicked out. Who could have foreseen that the art history professor who regularly spends 3 lessons minimum on just Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix was a revolutionary. If you ask her, all animals are precious babies, included the shark that bit her ("Biscottino just wanted to say hello!") and kindly gifted her the tooth she has on her necklace. All but penguins. Penguins are horrible people and you shouldn't trust them.

A little note: the white and red dress is a traditional dress from Alghero, Sardinia, where her mother comes from and where she spent her childhood and teen years. It's a place I spent quite some time into myself, and I wanted to put something I'm familiar with and is too little known (past Giuni Russo if you're Italian) into the mix. The embroidery on the collar of her shirt in the portrait as well in inspired by Sardinian traditional embroidery! This is not from Alghero, but I looked for a design that could have been modified to fit her more. And the tiny coral branches are a hint to her city, famous throughout history for coral fishing (still today you can find a lot of jewelry shops selling coral jewelry downtown).
