#and your English is wonderful!!

[deleahtarte]

Hi!! I love your fanfics of south park and I wanted to ask you about some songs that you think might fit with with style, bunny or another ships! I'm curious what songs you can choose, because I have some in my head.

Also, sorry if my english is not good, cause I'm actually from Spain 😅

Oh gosh what a wonderful question!! For Style, I think of ‘Die for You’ by the weekend of the more Stan side of things. Generally any slow, more calmer love songs are Stan’s tune then anything (like Joji). Kyle’s is generally more upbeat, so anything with a lot of bass or drums would work. Think of rap, r&b, hip-hop!

I would say anything by The neighborhood or the Arctic Monkeys is good at describing Bunny overall but specially leaning towards the Kenny side of it. Butters is anything pop, but really, Butters can link just about any love song to Kenny, trust. But especially Taylor Swift, (ie. Love Story, Lover,) and Red! Red by Taylor swift is definitely a Bunny coded song.

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

A lot of my colleagues comment on how good my Japanese is because I can use interjections pretty well despite the fact my actual speaking is garbage. I always know when to say "えっ" and "やばい" and "え〜そうなの" and "いえいえいえ" and "そっか" and "そうだね" and every single time they're like "wow! You're like a native speaker!" and I'm like okay but I can't form an actual sentence that's more than 4 words long and if you make me use grammar my brain will catch fire

[flikkerij]

i was talking with my friends about how dutch dirty talk is such an instant turn off for most of us, and i wonder if thats a dutch thing or a general non-native english speaker thing (or a just my friends thing)

tag with your language!

Re-reading Extra Game and I love how certain translators will give Akashi more of a potty mouth when he speaks English

redditors have the slightest amount of media comprehension challenge (impossible)

the amount of people who still cannot grasp that the Stranger is Gandalf truly baffles me. they have given us every visual and narrative clue possible and nerd ass fanboys are crying in the comments that he’s definitely a Blue Wizard because the actor has not yet turned directly to the camera and said: “I, Daniel Weyman, am playing the character of Gandalf in Amazon’s The Rings of Power.”

“but it doesn’t happen that way in the books!” they sob. No one cares!! it literally does not matter!!! this is the middle earth cinematic universe for god’s sake! it’s middle earth-616! it’s different from the books just like the PJ trilogy were different from the books!! go outside!!!

And then worse than that, they whine and cry about it being a “mystery box” or a “guessing game” - brother it can’t be a mystery box because it’s not a mystery!!!!! they already told you who the character was in the first season!!! they expected you to have the two brain cells needed to figure it out from the obvious narrative clues!!!!

i know it’s my fault for being on reddit in the first place, but i am genuinely going to lose my mind!!!

The last update about my fic

I've decided to change things up. You aren't going to know what I changed because I want to avoid spoilers and stuff, but to take the stress of me thinking you have high expectations, I should probably stop updating. That's why I've been so inactive

So don't worry! It's progressing as we speak, you just would only know when it's out.

Also! Instead of writing it all then publishing every month a chapter, the second this chapter is done with I'll upload. I can always rewrite or something, but I really wanna upload once I'm finished.

Thank you! Stay tuned ;P

wtf is Zeni's badge

[stormyoceans]

Somehow, I feel like had it been Jun, he wouldn't have bolted (and probably would've known what it meant when Po made ramen)

NOT TO BE THAT PERSON BUT HAD IT BEEN JUN HE WOULD HAVE BARELY LET PO TAKE A STEP INSIDE THE APARTMENT BEFORE SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE DOOR AND PULLING HIM IN FOR THE MESSIEST HUNGRIEST KISS EVER AND DROPPING ON HIS KNEES RIGHT THEN AND THERE

im sorry but jun desires that man carnally and no one can convince me that, had po picked him, he wouldn't have seized the first opportunity he got to make that abundantly clear. also from the way he told thame 'you should have figured out if he wanted some respect or something else', i just KNOW he would have realized what po was thinking and gladly made sure neither of them were gonna see the light of day for at least a week

also don't ask me why, but jun gives me the impression of someone who enjoys sex a lot and is not ashamed to admit it. while i do believe he flirts and teases mostly for fun and that he doesn't really have half the dating scandals people accuse him of, i also think that if he likes someone, he would be the type to be all in from the get go and not beat around the bush. another thing im fully convinced of is that if thame never liked big guys before po, that's always been exactly jun's type in men, so he would be more than happy to both wreck and be wrecked by po

not that he wouldn't be incredibly sweet with po too (if i think about all the little things jun did to take care of him im gonna walk into traffic), but they would have horny to horny communication and NO ONE CAN CHANGE MY MIND

Here are two of the most hilariously scalding letters from the 1800s that I have ever read. One is by the famous writer Lord Byron, and the other is by his daughter Ada Lovelace, the famous mathematician. Both are written to their respective business partners: Byron to his publisher John Murray, and Lovelace to her colleague Charles Babbage. It’s interesting to note how strikingly similar these letters are despite the fact that Ada and her father never knew each other, as her parents separated shortly after her birth and he died abroad when she was eight. Both were rebellious, fond of gambling, prone to tumultuous affairs, and both hated Lady Byron. These similarities may help to explain why her final wish was to be buried next to him instead of her family.

Lord Byron in a Letter to his publisher John Murray about the printing of his magnum opus, the poem Don Juan:

“Ra. August 31st. 1821.

Dear Sir

I have received the Juans – which are printed so carelessly especially the 5th. Canto – as to be disgraceful to me — & not creditable to you.

It really must be gone over again with the Manuscript – the errors are so gross – words added – changed – so as to make cacophony & nonsense. — You have been careless of this poem because some of your Synod don’t approve of it – but I tell you – it will be long before you see any thing half so good as poetry or writing. — Upon what principle have you omitted the note on Bacon & Voltaire? and one of the concluding stanzas sent as an addition? because it ended I suppose – with –

‘And do not link two virtuous souls for life Into that moral Centaur man & wife?’

Now I must say once for all – that I will not permit any human being to take such liberties with my writings – because I am absent. —

I desire the omissions to be replaced (except the stanza on Semiramis) particularly the stanza upon the Turkish marriages – and I request that the whole be carefully gone over with the M.S.S. –

I never saw such stuff as is printed – Gulleyaz – instead of Gulbeyaz &c. Are you aware that Gulbeyaz is a real name – and the other nonsense? – I copied the Cantos out carefully – so that there is no excuse – as the Printer reads or at least prints the M.S.S. of the plays without error. —

If you have no feeling for your own reputation pray have some little for mine. — I have read over the poem carefully – and I tell you it is poetry – Your little envious knot of parson-poets may say what they please — time will show that I am not in this instance mistaken. — Desire my friend Hobhouse to correct the press especially of the last Canto from the Manuscript – as it is – it is enough to drive one out of one’s senses – to see the infernal torture of words from the original. – For instance the line

‘And pair their rhymes as Venus yokes her doves’

Is printed

‘and praise their rhymes &c. –

also ‘precarious’ for ‘precocious’ – and this line. stanza 133.

‘And this strong extreme effect – to tire no longer’

Now do turn to the Manuscript – & see – if I ever made such a line – it is not verse. —

No wonder the poem should fail – (which however it wont you will see) with such things allowed to creep about it. – – Replace what is omitted – – & correct what is so shamefully misprinted, – and let the poem have fair play – – and I fear nothing. — I see in the last two Numbers of the Quarterly – a strong itching to assail me (see the review of the “Etonian”) let it – and see if they shan’t have enough of it. – – I don’t allude to Gifford – who has always been my friend – & whom I do not consider as responsible for the articles written by others. – But if I do not give Mr. Milman – Mr. Southey – & others of the crew something that shall occupy their dream! I am not what I was – that is all

I have not begun with the Quarterers – but let them look to it. – As for Milman (you well know I have not been unfair to his poetry ever) but I have lately had some information of his critical proceedings in the Quarterly which may bring that on him which he will be sorry for. – I happen to know that of him – Which would annihilate him – when he pretends to preach morality – not that he is immoral – because he isn’t – having in early life been once too much so. – And dares he set up for a preacher? let him go and be priest to Cybele. – why let

You will publish the plays – when ready — I am in such a humour about this printing of D.J. so inaccurately – that I must close this.

yrs. [scrawl]

P.S. I presume that you have not lost the stanza to which I allude? it was sent afterwards look over my letters – & find it. The Notes you can’t have lost – you acknowledged them – they included eight or little corrections of Bacon’s mistakes in the apothegms. – And now I ask once more if such liberties taken in a man’s absence – are fair or praise-worthy? – As for you you have no opinions of your own – & never had – but are blown about by the last thing said to you no matter by whom.”

“Dear Sir

The enclosed letter is written in bad humour – but not without provocation. -

However – let it (that is the bad humour) go for little – but I must request your serious attention to the abuses of the printer which ought never to have been permitted. – You forget that all the fools in London (the chief purchasers of your publications) will condemn in me the stupidity of your printer. — For instance in the Notes to Canto fifth – ‘the Adriatic shore of the Bosphorus – instead of the Asiatic!! – All this may seem little to you – so fine a gentleman with your ministerial connections – but it is serious to me – who am thousands of miles off & have no opportunity of not proving myself the fool yr. printer makes me – except your pleasure & leisure forsooth.

The Gods prosper you — & forgive you, for I wont.

B.”

Ada Lovelace in a letter to her work partner Charles Babbage, who she helped invent the computer with:

“Tuesday Afternoon [1 August 1843] Ockham

. . . Note B has plagued me to death; altho' I have made but little alteration in it. Such alterations as there are however, happen to have been very tiresome & to have demanded minute consideration & very nice adjustments.

It is a very excellent Note.

I wish you were as accurate, & as much to be relied on, as I am myself. You might often save me much trouble, if you were; whereas you in reality add to my trouble not infrequently; and there is at any rate always the anxiety of doubting if you will not get me into a scrape; even when you don't.

By the way, I hope you do not take upon yourself to alter any of my corrections.

I must beg you not. They all have some very sufficient reason. And you have made a pretty mess & confusion in one or two places (which I will show you sometime), where you have ventured in my M.S's, to insert or alter a phrase or word; & have utterly muddled the sense.

I could not conceive at first in one or two places what had happened to my sentences; tho' I soon saw they were patchwork & not my own; and found it so, on referring to the M.S. I fear you will think this a very cross letter. Never mind. I am a good little thing, after all. Yours ever

A. A. L.

Later. P. S. It is impossible to send you anything but Notes B and C; (& this partly owing to some wrong references & blunderations of your own). — Do not be afraid, for I will work like the Devil early tomorrow morning. —“

“Wednesday, 4 o'clock [2 August 1843] Ockham

After working almost incessantly, since 7 o'clock this morning, until I am forced to give in from sheer inability to apply longer, I find only the sheet I enclose is quite completed. I shall however send a servant up tomorrow morning by a ten o' clock train, to take you all the rest; so that you will have it almost as soon as this letter.

You cannot conceive the trouble I have had with the trigonometrical Note E. — In fact no one but me, I really believe, would have doggedly stuck to it, as I have been doing, in all wearing minutiae.

I am very uneasy at not hearing from you, as I have expected to do both yesterday & today; & fear some disaster or other. I hope all of Note G is forthcoming; & I also hope you have received all my communications safely.

I think you had better do the second revise of the translation for me. If you will compare it carefully with my first revise, it can hardly be necessary I think for me to go over it again.

I suppose I ought to take it for granted that no news is good news; but I am in a sad fidget. — Yours ever

A. L.”

You've been posting a lot about code lyoko recently (I think that's what it's called) and it kind of unlocked core memories for me. But I only have vague memory of it (I think I was pretty young when it aired on tv). Do you mind explaining the premise of the show and what happens again? I remember being a little obsessed with it and it bothers me that I don't remember anymore.

Glad I've accomplished my one mission in life of unlocking someone's core memories���Nah fr, it's nice to come across someone else who's aware of a series as niche (and pretty old, God) as this one, especially in this day and age.

So, to make a long story short, Code Lyoko is a French animated series centered on group of middle schoolers fighting a computer virus. Riveting, ain't it-

Jeremie Belpois, a computer and science nerd who stumbled upon a super computer hidden in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of his dorm school, turns the computer on out of curiosity. On it, he discovers a virtual world called Lyoko housing not only a slew of creatures, but a girl named Aelita. Through a series of unfortunate events, Jeremie eventually involves three unlikely classmates of his: Ulrich, Odd, and Yumi, and they unanimously make it their mission to someday bring Aelita out of the super computer, all while keeping the situation a secret from anyone else. To thwart their plans, a virus named XANA, which also came to life when Jeremie turned the super computer on, seeks to bring harm to them and their world, and the only way to combat it is by traveling to Lyoko.

Obviously there's more to the story than that, but that's the gist lol.

The series' largest selling point was it's clever mix of 2D and 3D animation, used as a way to differentiate between the real world of France and the virtual world of Lyoko. It's unique animation, art style, and storytelling when compared to any other French animated series that came out around the same time, made it stand out enough to end up on Cartoon Network.

There are some elements that don't hold up quite well now, and some that didn't hold up at all in '03, but there's clearly something to it that makes it worth watching.
