shout out to the quote tweet of an edit of the Taylor and Travis first game that said “you are all experiencing mass psychosis”—-made me SCREAM-laugh
#the thing is it was kind of true#like akskkekekejejejejjejejejehjeje#that first wave of end of summer September depression had hit#and there was suddenly this shot of red and gold and pure romcom sugar adrenaline#fan fiction stuff of dreams FLUFF. that shot of him looking at the screen (her) the ride off into the sunset. the WIN#and the common people (I include myself) lost their minds#and it’s FUNNY to me#Anyway of course the truth (for them#for us#for everyone)#is more complex than that and can NOT just be a story to be observed from the outside#no one’s life can#but the power of a Story disseminated through all the tools of the time#at the speed of light#was on such dazzling display#anyway of course like. I WRESTLE#with celebrity I mean and the observing of it from the outside and just the Truth of it all#and I understand why people’s reactions are so endlessly refracting and different and shattered#but also I think it’s funny to see. As a phenomenon. It’s just#it’s so human and funny and SOMETHING#anyway just rambling#but yeah

I just wanted to say, thanks again to everyone who likes, reblogs, or adds nice tags to my translations on here. I never intended for this to be a translation account, but it kind of happened by accident anyway, and I really appreciate everyone who has encouraged me to keep sharing translations.
I know that the kind of stuff I'm interested in has a pretty small English-language audience (which is why no one else has already translated it, and why I felt the need to start studying Japanese in order to read it)
I tend to think "no one cares about this but me, so why post a translation of it" but it's good to be reminded that there are other people in the English-language side of wrestling fandom who are interested in the same stuff I'm interested in, and who want to read the stuff I want to translate.
I don't always have the time or energy to write proper translations for everything I want to, but as long as people keep showing an interest, I'll keep sharing what I can.
#I feel like in general the internet leans towards very quick small bite sized bits of information or images etc these days#which tends to make me feel like people aren't necessarily interested in reading longer articles but of course that's not always true#I've also had too many bad experiences of people ripping off my work before but that hasn't happened on tumblr yet thankfully#Anyway thanks to everyone on here who has taken the time to say a kind word or to reach out to me to talk wrestling etc

gender swapped stanley and stanford pines where they're butch lesbians and their designs are almost identical to their canon ones
#gravity falls#theyre already wrestling under the weight of their dad's expectations#they should have to deal with the strict societal expectations of women too bc i said so#ford probably gets a bit more leeway because of her intellect and the kind of 'softer' masculinity she embodies#and she could go to college and participate in the high minded intellectual side of lesbianism#which was in the 70s dominated by the idea of androgyny and rejecting butch-femme dynamic#of course it's not easy for her persay#but /easier/ than what stan has to go through#stan represents the working class side of lesbianism and she has a much more straightforward masculinity#she likes cars and fighting and sailing and cursing. umambigously male interests especially at the time#this contributes to her familial alienation. she cant get good grades like her sister and no man would ever want to marry her#in the eyes of her parents she is 100% a failure compared to fords like 60%#ANYWAY. i could go on but i think thats enough for now#(bill is gender swapped too and absolutely nothing changes about him)

thinking about the kiru and kara dynamic again. in particular karas view of her is very amusing to me
#larry time#to start out he views her as like. a glamorized version of how she portrays herself/wants to be seen#kiru likes to be seen as reliable and 'safe'#strong. unoffending and unassuming. calm and collected and the kind of person you'd like to ask for help#when they first meet kara sees her as this And a manifestation of his sort of ideal of masculinity. butches always winning etc etc#of course her dressing like (a classy and tasteful version of) the models in his magazines certainly adds to this#kara is also observably the kind of person who likes to help others. albeit because he likes praise and looking like a good person#so i think he would offer help to kiru quite often and do silly little tasks for her (esp. when she's still in college) to look good#BUT luckily for him unlike his brothers kiru is actually very appreciative of this#she's the kind of person who would drive herself to the ER because she didn't wanna bother anyone. like#egregiously independent and she has been since kennys death. she doesn't expect help so when she Does receive it she's very appreciative#this obviously only inflates karas ego further. but over time as they became close friends it becomes more genuine#especially after she starts helping him with learning english and other miscellaneous stuff#and even more so when he finds out about everything she went through before#that paired with kiru picking up the nickname of 'appi' (which is kiiind of a regional version of 'aniki')#just really gets to him. hes the second biggest offender of the moefication of kirumi nikuya#(guess who the biggest is. bet you can't)#so he goes from thinking of her as super cool + suave to like Ah. i need to protect you.. (loses at arm wrestling against her in 2 seconds)#ANYWAYS. im done rambling

Okay so. When I was around ten years old, one of the free TV channels in France (called NT1) started broadcasting WWE wrestling and did so for a few years. It was all the boys talked about during rec time. That broadcasting literally created a generation of wrestling fans in the country (called Génération NT1 or Génération Catch Attack).
Already a snob, I despised it (maybe it was also because I knew I'd be rejected if I tried to share in the Boys' Fun™). So I didn't discover wrestling at 10. I would have loved it.
And now I wonder, if I'd seen CM Punk on screen at that formative age, would I have found him unbelievably cool? Probably. Would I have sworn not to drink and do drugs and smoke to do like him? No doubt. Would I have discovered piracy and streaming and started watching stuff in english through wrestling (rather than SPN) as it stopped being broadcast, to continue watching? Certainly.
My question is, would I have become an alcoholic in my teenage years if CM Punk had been my childhood hero? I think the answer is no. I think it's funny the paths life takes, the near-misses. It makes me very sad.
#how different things would have been!#maybe I'm wrong#maybe it was always in my blood and I was going to drink no matter what just with more self loathing#I think I wouldn't have played the compcis game for as long if I'd been into wrestling.#it'd be stupid to have regrets of course. I was a kid who did not watch a tv program it's okay#and anyway now I'm sober I'm straight edge and I came to it on my own#liking a straight edge wrestler as an adult is just a silver lining#personal#sobriety#wrestling

whelp. got my last art fight attack in with literally 35 seconds to spare
#i did a 3d model and animated it. it was scary.#it’s only kind of done though sjfjsk. i’ll post it in a few days when it has the turntable and i add a background and shit#spending like 70 hours on an art fight attack seems. unreasonable.#but to be fair the only thing i’d ever modeled from scratch was el’s little holotape recorder#so most of that time was just. learning how to model and tearing my hair out about how unintuitive blender is.#actually probably 75% was just wrestling blender.#realizing I basically gave myself a month long crash course to learn modeling; texturing; rigging; animation; and rendering#it was a lot and probably a horrible way to go about learning but i did it and i sure did learn#anyways. now i have a migraine and it’s 12pm and i haven’t slept. so bye.#wish babbles

mom was saying how she wasn’t good at getting gifts and was like “I don’t even know what to get you :(” and I was like. no mom. I’m the problem here.
#my ramblings#anyway I’m helping her fold dumplings for sister and dad to eat while she’s in cn to take care of grandpa#she has to. wrestle a lot with healthcare. not really looking good.#sister’s gonna order groceries so I don’t have to spread myself too thin but I’m still gonna help out of course#but anyway I think gift giving is a skill that can be trained#but part of gift giving as a skill is knowing how to give gifts to folks when you don’t necessarily know what they want#for a high school pal I don’t know the specifics of fandom or what she already has#so I gave her socks and was like: now that you are an adult you get adult gifts.#and she seemed to get a kick out of that#but in general it’s helpful to 1) keep in mind if someone wants something specific#2) keep in mind if there’s a type of theme they enjoy (e.g. space or fish or cats)#3) keep in mind if there’s a type of object they collect (like mugs or magnets or merch)#3.1) find a way to keep track of their collection and check on it (ask them if they’ve gotten anything new/are planning to)#4) gifts can still be food or experiences it doesn’t have to be limited to An Object They Keep#(one of the ‘gifts’ I was planning for mom was ‘let’s go to this scenic garden for an hour or two and I’ll take pics of you however long yo#want and I won’t complain at all)#(mom loves getting her photo taken and posting her outfits to wechat)

you know, sometimes I think about how I have pretty much never heard a student complaint that wasn’t valid on some level. They’re often responding to real problems/flaws/inconsistencies/weaknesses in something and their critiques of it are often more precise and dead-on than we give them credit for. but they’re right (when they’re right) in a void. they have 0 context and so the judgment is off even when they’re hitting the mark.
#anyways it’s hard to be a teacher. man.#like. they have all the venom and force behind their complaints of youth and righteous indignation#and energy and all of it#and I’m just kind of like ‘yes. and also you do not fully understand’#‘and won’t until you grow up and maybe not even then’#but I can’t always tell them that. definitely not one on one#anyways I wrestle so much with the parts of my job I could work harder at#and the parts of it that are in a sense undoable. or undoable except in an imperfect way#or undoable at a certain high exacting standard#I am sure I often cut myself too much slack!#because frankly I hate an approach to teaching that sort of runs on the course of people pleasing and working yourself to death#I would never I will never I COULD never#but also. it’s#not not true that sometimes I just be missing things! fudging the lines! overlooking.#being lazy#and that’s a hard thing to judge#and live with and feel good about all the time#teaching tag

see the thing abt me is I take the roleplaying in video games so seriously that I just start making shit up about the character I play and their rich inner history and complications and motivations and hobbies and quirks. so basically I made up too much of a backstory and personality for my bg3 character and now I don’t even wanna finish the stupid game I just wanna play this character in a dnd campaign
#their name is tisiphone they’re a tiefling paladin. oath of vengeance because it’s edgy#and I made up a lot of tiefling lore#wherein sometimes part of the price for making a pact with an archdevil is that they can essentially claim one of your descendants#to do some shit for them#so basically this human kid one day randomly got claimed by zariel (bc of course it’s zariel) and kinda got rejected by society#and then went to a gladiator ring where they found somewhere to live#and they formed a group with 2 others whose stage names are megaera and alecto#tisiphone is their stage name. it’s a furies thing#anyways at some point smth happened to the other 2 they probably got grabbed by their respective archdevils#and now this character is looking for traces of them and is out to avenge them or whatever it’s not all solid in my head#anyways. you don’t care. but anyways I think it’s like. their ‘scariness’ was super played up in the ring#as the equivalent of their like wrestling persona (but with more death)#so they had to get all these scary tattoos and they have devil horns and scary eyes#but they’re actually like. nice to comedic effect. and rly shy#idk I just think it’d be funny.#anyways is any of this relevant to bg3??? no. and I don’t care

#you ever have a nearly pervect day and then one tiny thing happens that ruins the entire thing?#I'm trying to get over it#like. a glass broke earlier and i barely blinked over it#the kids were wrestling and screaming at 9pm and i didn't have an overstimulated meltdown#but a friend. in jest! called me a liar#and now I'm shaking crying angry hurt vulnerable#i asked for an apology and to not call me that again. especially in text when i can't HEAR the tone. it will never be a joke to me#they listened of course and said sorry#but god fucking damn it what the HELL kind of response was that?!#how scarred AM I?!#a friend can't make a joke without my brain derailing and throwing me back in time?#i blame the month. Thanksgiving through New Years is the worst. Even worse than September. WHY DID THEY RUIN EVERYTHING GOOD#i can't even have my own birthday without THAT being tainted either#i hate this time of year. i thought it would get better. yet here i am. crying. because someone called me a liar the same week as finals#anyway. if you see me having fun this time of year. just let me live in the moment. it won't last long.#hey Google. okay Empty by Letdown.#and then Walked Through Hell by Andon Seabra#gonna go process my emotions through song cause I'd rather call a friend but no one would be available right now#hence this stupid post anyway#later gator. I'll be alright by morning#EDIT TEN MINUTES LATER: the next song that played was Castle by Halsey and HOLY! SHIT?!#if that wasn't perfect timing musical therapy i don't know what was. 'there's no use crying about it'#AMAZING
