I've been getting increasingly pissed off at stuff like this with Helluva Boss for a while now so I'm running out of room for patience and giving the benefit of the doubt.

I'm not Deaf/HoH but I do have audio processing disorder and I have been involved with the Deaf/HoH community through learning Auslan and needing some of the same accommodations in my life so it's becoming increasingly apparent just how much they get short-changed by a society that does not care and has to be pressed constantly for the bare minimum of accommodating anyone other than the expected default abled demographic.

I'm sorry but while having a character who signs was fucking amazing to see even as a Hearing person

and it's been genuinely great to have the last episode of Season 1 with actual subtitles and all of Season 2 up to this one having actual subtitles

SEASON 1 STILL HAS FUCKING AUTO-GEN

We have to read T R A N S C R I P T S to understand what's going on in the entirety of Season 1 except for the final episode because while Hearing people who aren't affected by needing actual subtitles seem to think autogen and otherwise having to engage with just a transcript is good enough, news flash, IT ISN'T. Autogen has been getting better but it still fucks up (if your accommodation doesn't bring everyone up to speed with the same access as abled people your accommodation isn't good enough) and if your video is older like Season 1s are then they're FUCKING AWFUL. Even good autogen takes more energy to engage with than proper subtitles making it still more difficult than it needs to be to engage with a video.

This has annoyed me for a while but I was hoping they just needed some time to sort out someone to go make subtitles and put them up.

At the very least I figured ok, they're at least putting proper subtitles up for Season 2. Took them until OOPS came out to do it if I recall correctly, but they did it. Strange they stopped at the end of Season 1 but ok, whatever. Give them time.

Nothing has changed. It's been 3 years and nothing has changed.

Then The Full Moon dropped directly after Mammon's Magnificent Musical. I was expecting there to be proper subtitles since Season 2 now is being given them upon release.

...

So basically fuck anyone who needs proper subtitles.

This

is officially lip service to look good, not proper representation.

You can't follow this with fucking autogenerated bullcrap pretending to be accommodation.

I saw someone sending an ask in an hour or so ago to another blog to talk about The Full Moon and mentioned offhandedly in it that they had to look at the transcript to catch a line they wanted to understand and talk about.

I'd been hoping they would just put the subtitles up maybe a day or so later at least.

IT'S BEEN A WEEK.

Vivzie doesn't care about Deaf/HoH people. She chucked the kid in for brownie points. And hey, sure, brownie point rep is better than no rep, but it isn't actual representation and really doesn't deserve that much praise if you immediately follow it up with a fucking AUTOGEN ENGLISH ONLY EPISODE.

Sincerely, fuck you too.

EDIT: There are proper subtitles on The Apology Tour, so I'm glad for that at least. It came out like two weeks after The Full Moon meaning it had to be in production at the same time so idk why they could put subtitles on release for TAT and not TFM, but whatever. And hilariously (read: mystifyingly and infuriatingly) enough, THE FULL MOON STILL ONLY HAS AUTOGEN AS OF THIS EDIT BEING TYPED ON THE 25TH OF JUNE 2024. Why? Why is it the only one without subtitles in S2? Why is S1 still all auto-gen even now, right up until the Kesha-song episode? Spindlehorse continues to confuse and annoy me with their flipflopping on their supposed caring about accommodation.

#helluva boss #helluva boss critical #vivziepop critical #vivziepop criticism #accomodation #accessibility #accessibility fail #audio processing disorder #deafawareness #yes autogen is better than no autogen #but if you've shown you can put cc on an episode's release like with S2Ep7 #doing this is a big slap in the face especially after putting in deaf rep #i enjoy multiple aspects of this show as flawed as it is #but i've been having to deal with this channel's flagrant disregard for people who need proper subtitles for literal YEARS #i'm losing my ability to be patient for something that they've literally proven they can build in and release from the get-go #and have chosen not to add for nearly all of season 1 and dropped again immediately after the episode where they had to look good because #they included a signing character #i don't go for the majority of 'allegations' against Vivzie because i know the purity crowd is fucking rabid on tumblr and twitter etc #but this is one i can literally back up most of my claims with current-as-of-this-post screenshots #i'm getting really REALLY tired of this bs

Do you think Mario's portrayal in the movie was a little too different from the games? I understand that they needed him to have a more well rounded personality, but I just can't help but wonder why they didn't make him more of a soul who is defined by having this sort of contagious positivity with a skip in every step. Think characters like Joy (Inside Out), Pinkie Pie (MLP), Steven Universe, Star Butterfly, Mabel Pines, Rapunzel (Tangled) and so on.

Mario of course still has a can-do determinator attitude about life, and he does still have his moments of excitement, but it's a lot more subdued. He spends a lot of the movie being rather irritable, somewhat impatient, and burnt out. Of course this can still happen to characters that are defined by being consistently upbeat and positive, but that's only when they hit very serious rock bottom moments.

Do you think the sequel should try and make Mario's personality a little more like his portrayal in the games or should they just stick with what they did for the first one?

I think a more happy-go-lucky Mario could work, hypothetically, but not with the backstory he was given in the movie, which leans pretty hard on him being an underdog in every sense.

The difference between Mario and all the characters you listed is Mario was neither sheltered, nor put in any position where he was encouraged to continually exhibit a bubbly, positive attitude.

Mario is a Brooklyn man who has just recently managed to work his way up from hard labor to blue collar, and has spent most of his life having his dreams and ambitions dismissed and put down.

He's by no means disillusioned with the world, but he's built up defenses to make sure everyone knows that neither he nor his brother are easy targets to be bullied or walked all over. He is optimistic, but he's swimming against the current, and it's worn him down. (Heck, judging by the concept art, it looks like there were plans to make him even more exhausted and despondent than he was in the final product.)

But now that Mario's in an environment that values his ambition and optimism, he's got room to develop into something closer to the Super Mario we're all familiar with. As much as I hope for some slight change in character between movies, I can't say I'd be too disappointed if he stays the same on account of how much I really really love Hothead Stressball McDaddyIssues Mario. But I'm banking on him being at least a good deal happier now that he's living in The Mushroom Kingdom.

It's a nice little mini-arc to give him in what was essentially Mario's origin story.

#pixiedustandfairypowers #askbox #super mario brothers #mario movie #super Mario bros #Say what you will about how he differs from the games I love Movie Mario so much #heck I love 1993 Movie Mario too #I've said it before and I'll say it again looove a Mario who is a little grumpy #really hammer home that ''inner city blue collar worker who has had to put up with some BS'' vibe that's usually lost in the games

Vicki…you have an editor job in a completely different city. Did you just come to Metropolis to ambush Perry for this photo where you pose with your own newspaper?

How was this photo taken? Did you memorize where Perry gets his coffee, set up a camera, then wait for him to pass so you can jump out of the bushes or something?

Is there something in Gotham’s water that makes people act like petty drama queens?

Do you have a crush and just can’t ask him out like a normal person? Do you just have a lot of free time?

What are you doing girl?

#superman #my adventures with superman #perry white #vicki vale #the implications #of this photo keeps me up at night #Everyone in Gotham is a petty villain #They just don’t all wear greasepaint #Perry had no clue #Man just trying to enjoy his life #Putting up the trio’s daily BS #AND HERE COMES VICKI AMBUSHING HIM WITH PHOTOSHOOT SO SHE CAN GLOAT #I tell her to get therapy #But have you seen the therapists in Gotham?#I’ve never seen the whole arch-enemy dynamic but with like normal people

Ketheric was going to be recruitable???

Yep. He was intended to be a companion, here's the article: https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-director-reveals-one-surprising-villain-that-used-to-be-playable

Ngl I'm just beyond disappointed that anyone in that dev team thought cutting this was a good idea. Especially when we know they went out of their way to add in a someone who wasn't put in this game as a companion and wasn't intended to be one initially, while Ketheric was, even more so because of how half baked it was. I'm baffled and gutted that this was worth keeping to them, while Ketheric, who is far more plot significant, was not.

You can still play up to getting to persuade him which was where he was meant to join you and idk why the fuck they left that in then.

I honestly wish they would stop fucking talking about what they cut now that they've abandoned the game.

#answered #larian critical #bg3 critical #act 3 was so weak ketheric would've improved it significantly #man he'd have been your main advisor on gortash and orin #also the other stuff they cut #i'd happily sacrifice 2/3s of the absolute boring unconnected bullshit in act 3 #for this stuff that was axed #redeemed durge mentions going to candlekeep in an epilogue so you can bet there would've been been something there #beyond the 13 year old edgelord murderhobo bs we get in the game #gale was interested in the astral sea in ea it was hinted to be a potential solution for his orb #astral sea / vlaakith means lae'zel getting more stuff too #getting to go to the hells proper not just raph's house would've opened up so much for both karlach and wyll #like if we were going to the hells that puts them at the top of the fucking list for characters who'd have had more to say and do there #karlach's engine actually having an in game fix lmao imagine that.#but nah instead we get them rewriting to add stuff to the ending to pander to a char who already has double the romance of anyone else #and then casually mentioning all the far more important shit they left out of bg3 #i'm done #i'm so sorry for the essay anon my salt is so high

I hope this doesn’t mean any more hiatus or long breaks 💀

And I hope you’re not one of those people constantly demanding new fics from people and then not engaging with it 💀😑

You realize this isn’t helpful in any way, right? This is about as helpful as those who just say “more pls” Y’all are too comfortable being so demanding.

#asks #anon #????? like sorry! my depression and general life bs got in the way last year that I had to go on an extended hiatus!#my bad!!#I forgot I’m doing this for free!!!#this fic has actually taken the life out of me because I’ve put so much pressure on myself for it #and I love and I’m flattered you like it too but it’s hard dude #on one hand in my box telling me nobody cares and then the other is this #make up your mind lol

Can we kill the whole “no attention on artwork is sad and means it was a waste of time” thing? Like Seriously can we kill it. I put a fuckton of effort into my art and it usually gets like, 10 likes, and that doesn’t really matter to me bc I love making it. I’m grateful for nice comments, but I’m gonna keep making the stuff I make regardless.

Like ok I’m not trying to sound all holier than thou here, but the amount of artists online who say stuff like “this artwork was a flop, so I’m feeling really discouraged” is making me go crazy. Is that all it is for you guys? Content? When you’re making artwork are you just making content for an audience? No offence but I feel like that’s a huge fucking waste of time, way more than making art you like and getting minimal attention on it.

#art #discourse #i guess??#Idk sorry I know I sound like an asshole but dude #the way people talk about art is crazy #Where’s your love for what you’re doing? Who cares if it didn’t blow up like you wanted? You still had fun making it right??#“Ppl need to start rbing artists more all their effort is being ignored bc ppl hate art” is some hot steaming bs too #Like oh Were you creating for attention? I didn’t realize random peoples approval was that important to you my fault #It’s such an accepted mentality too like “well of course I want people to like my work that I put hours into” is #Seen as a completely reasonable statement which like. on the surface it is. But then u realize they consider 20 likes “no attention”#Is you liking it not enough? Are the 20 people who liked it not enough? Are your friends who gushed over it not enough?#Or do you not actually mean “people” when you say that #Do you maybe just want to feel an ego boost when you see a big number next to that thing you put hours into.#You feel like you’ve earned a big number for all that otherwise wasted time #It’s like a weird twist on consumerism #Where at some point for a lot of you I feel like you’re not making art. You’re making a product.#You’re just a commission artist except you’re not making any money #It’s sad I hate it and if you’re an artist who talks about their art like this then I don’t respect you #And I sure as hell don’t respect your “art”

top deepening his voice when talking to mew's moms... gun speaking higher when talking to cher's mom... i love these choices

#also in both cases i'm pretty sure it's force's natural register lol #and he does it with such precision like i would NOT be able to modulate my voice like that #i have a relatively deep voice (for an afab woman) and i have a creaky pnw accent so i already speak lower than i should #like when i try to speak higher it just gets pulled down by my accent djfljdlsjg #it's kind of a miracle i can do thai tones/japanese pitch accent #tangent: TBH PITCH ACCENT IS ONLY HARD BECAUSE NO SENSEI WILL BOTHER TO TEACH YOU FOR SOME REASON #IF I HAD LEARNED THE PITCHES WHEN THE WORDS WERE FIRST TAUGHT TO ME I WOULDN'T FORGET THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHOPSTICKS AND BRIDGE #also re: thai tones. honestly i think the consonants are harder to replicate than the tones #like the difference between lover listen and goodnight are really hard to catch and i'd probably fuck them up #BUUUUUUT i'm so bad at Ds and Bs stress me out #you have to put your tongue in a completely different place on the roof of your mouth for D #M and B blend together #Ss turn into Ds (SOMETIMES) but american Ds because you're cutting off the breath rather than actually hissing #the tones are just like memorizing a song but you don't really have to hit the notes you just go up or down #(i know it's a little more complicated than that but you know what i mean)#(the point is that i don't have to relearn where my tongue goes lol i already know how to speak higher or lower)#ofs liveblog #abaab liveblog

I suffer from feeling unloved despite being surrounded by people who love me loudly and only having been told by one person (internet stranger) that they hate me in the last 3 years

#only being hated by one person who doesnt even know me is. pretty lucky considering i suck #'trust me if you knew me you would hate me more' lol #just be glad you have a block button my guy #my irl friends are not so fortunate /j #they have to love me to put up with my bs this long. genuinely dont doubt most people's love anymore #until i doubt reality which happens frequently unfortunately #actually most of the people who didnt love me didnt say they hated me. they were just unkind to md #and i havent had a single person other than a handful of internet strangers be unkind to me since i was a kid #and even then the hater to supporter ratio is like 1 to 300. not even kidding i counted once #which is pretty incredible tbh #want to thank people for loving me and apologize for being loved by them at the same time ;-;#whyyy

There's this TikTok trending sound floating around where the gist is 'can't tell if the friend who is always fake flirting with you is still fake flirting' and I immediately thought of these two. It's practically canon IMHO.

Who is kicking up the fake flirting a notch differs between the two of them on the daily.

#it is my personal headcanon that these two are constantly flirting with each other and causing strangers to just be like SO ARE THEY DATING #OR WHAT?#and of course their friends are like 'ugh no they are just like that' with the tone of people who have seen too much #Daisuke in particular is Over It #will full on leave the room when they start #thinks Takeru brings out the utter worst in Hikari (which he does lbr)#and sometimes they take the flirting too far and who knows maybe they end up fooling around #WHO KNOWS #but also - tri had LOADS of this quasi-flirty banter between them #so it is SLIGHTLY PRACTICALLY CANON #remember Sora's absolutely exasperated face when Hikari warns Meiko to watch out for Takeru?#it's that all of the time #also I wish I could have used caps of them in Kizuna or the Beginning and not caps of them in tri #but they don't have enough scenes together or apart in Kizuna #and the Beginning isn't out yet #so sorry you get this pseudo-meme with the uggo tri animation #and this is from someone who actually enjoyed tri a lot #anyway i have to go run errands I am an Adult #fun fact - I use the same canva account to make this bs that I do to make the reports I put all over my office #that canva account has two selves - employee of a global advertising agency #fandom idiot #digimon #takari #takeru and hikari #takeru takaishi #hikari yagami #takehika

Just wanna ask just to make sure

Are we allowed to share stuff about our own aus?

I rmemeber asking and you said no fur to bad experiences, so I’m asking again

And if so, would it be limited to just text stuff, or would we be allowed to share our art about said aus?

Hope this doesn’t come across as rude or annoying

Hmmmm tbh if I’ve stated it makes me uncomfortable before then I just appreciate avoiding it. I do follow other fnaf AUs and like learning about them but only if I’m the one finding them or asking about them or joining a server to learn more about them. Heck even checking my FYP let’s me genuinely find things I enjoy at my own pace ^^; but If my own blog keeps getting recommendations from other people’s AUs and info dumping without even asking before doing so then it feels like it’s not my own space :Tc it kinda sorta feels like it’s being used for self promoting their own stuff and I won’t even enjoy it because of that, it’s hard to explain it in English but honestly even if that’s not the intention it makes me uncomfortable nonetheless unfortunately.
