being a tiktok editor is so funny cus you'd think that making a 23 second video with very minimal effects wouldnt take that long and then next thing you know it's almost 6 in the morning, and you're going asleep mentally tired as all hell with the same few seconds of a song stuck in your head because it's been the only thing you've heard for what feels like an eternity

Hello again B0T,

about your post earlier— most humans are obsessed with orgasm, and seek it out sometimes daily. It’s one of the most incredible sensations for many humans, and when an erogenous zone is stimulated it can erase most other thoughts from our heads. It’s great fun! Would love to show you sometime ;)

the real reason why tumblr is my favourite social media is people actually interact with the things I create here lmao. I post on any other app and most of the time even people I know don't stop long enough to drop a like on it

[wtfforged]

im getting really comfortable with tumblr and now its getting real hard to go back to posting on twt. im especially shy about posting all my recent art on there since a majority of it is fanart now, and i built my following over there on oc stuff...

Billy was sitting at the kitchen table— one hand being used to hold open the book he was skimming for the fifth time, the other trapped in a loose thumb war with Steve. He wasn’t sure what Steve was doing— but he started winning any time it distracted him. He wasn’t sure when he had stopped worrying about his father coming home— but he’d pay for that later.

Hushed whispers sounded in the doorway. Billy tensed for half a second before relaxing when he saw Max and El out the corner of his eye. Then he heard the all too familiar sound of Max’s polaroid camera going off.

“I bought that for you two months ago and I’m already regretting it,” Billy groaned, placing his bookmark— that was actually just an old receipt— into his book then letting it fall shut.

“Come on, Billy,” El teased. “You look pretty!”

“Well then, let’s see it.”

Max reached out with the photo in hand. Billy abandoned his thumb war with Steve to grab it— which caused Steve to realize other people were in the room with them. “See what?” he asked, using his now free hand to push up his glasses.

Billy looked at the photo— his face forming into a slight frown. “Why do I look like that?”

Max raised an eyebrow at him. “Happy?”

has anyone else just been getting straight up literal 4chan nazi posters in the for you page constantly

May I share some opinions about Katsuki’s final line the chapter 405? I’ve been trying to understand why fans on both sides are nitpicking on this particular panel and I want to explore what happened.

(Please mind that I’m not a Japanese expert nor a native but I have been studying the language and following both MHA manga and fandom for years, so I do have some experience on the matter. Oh and I’ll declare my Conflict of Interest as a Bakudeku shipper, but I do know how to stand on neutral grounds.)

Jpn: OFA (あいつ) に拭うねーもんは、こっちで拭うってなあああ!!!

Caleb’s version: OFA couldn’t keep you on the ground, but we’ll finish the job and then some!

In this sentence, “OFA” was meant to represent Izuku, as Horikoshi had clearly written for us in superscript. However even if you ignore the double meaning, OFA = Izuku, AM and the vestiges. In this scenario, all of them were already fighting against AFO and Shigaraki on the battlefield. So when Katsuki said that “he” is stepping in, it means exactly that, even though こっち isn’t specifically a singular pronoun, because he was the only other person on that battlefield. There is no “we” in this scene!

(Or if we want to be technical, there’s Edgeshot who’s out of commission. Best Jeanist, Mirio and Gentle are on Troy somewhere and they COULD be part of the collective “we” but they weren’t shown jumping in to help in this chapter either, so very low chance it could allude to them.)

Unless of course, Caleb took it too literally and thought that OFA alludes to the quirk itself. In this case, his English translation might be something like: “The ultimate power of OFA quirk couldn’t stop you (AFO+Shiggy) but we (Katsuki, Izuku, AM and the other heroes) will finish the job (by power of teamwork?)” Which is an understandable sentence in itself, but not accurate to the literal Japanese text. At all.

That’s not to mention the other missed opportunities in this panel alone, such as the callback to Katsuki’s apology in the rain. The “and then some” line was actually correct English, but it was such a rarely used phrase that it was jarring spoken from a teenager.

Tl;dr - yes, I think Caleb’s English translation for this page in particular was not satisfactory.

Listen, I know translations are hard, especially in languages like Japanese where people tend to omit pronouns or phrases in their speech. That’s why I stick around on leak nights to pick up the raw scans, and I try not to nitpick on manga translations too much. Heck, even other fan translations added their own flairs! - TBC’s version outright had Katsuki call out “Deku” which could be a controversy in itself (a reference to Hori’s intention but not 100% confirmed, and one may wonder if Katsuki would choose to refer to him by Deku or Izuku in this scenario). But I could see why fans on this side of the fandom are mad about this chapter, and I think it is fair of them to put an appeal with the official translation website. After all, it is customer feedback, the least they can do is get more unbiased translators to weigh in their opinions.

musicians please dont pay for soundcloud

every time im reminded of soundcloud im put into a blinding rage because of their policy to DELETE all the tracks you upload while under a payment plan once you stop paying. i paid for the unlimited plan that was like 120 dollars a year for 4 years and uploaded like a hundred tracks and once i stopped paying soundcloud made every single one except for the last 180 minutes private even to myself. meaning, anyone who clicks a link (including me on my own fucking account) to a track that was "hidden" will get the same page you get when a track was actually deleted. they can only be restored if i pay the full unlimited plan fee again, and then only temporarily. corporate has also pushed several times to lower the already pointless oppressive free upload limit. if you make music and want to start posting it somewhere, youre better off using youtube and like find ffmpeg commands to make audio into videos

Spotify wrapped! I was tagged by @sidhebeingbrand

My top song was: Any Turn by Orville Peck. The rhythm of it makes it very easy to play on repeat for a good period of time. Especially during cooking for some reason. I dunno why

I listened for: 42 537 minutes (which peaked on July 18th with 491 minutes... which I suspect means that I got into a groove working on a commission that night? I'm pretty sure I was listening to an audiobook during those two hours I took walking home that day)

My top artist was: Orville Peck - for the second year in a row, I believe. He's very persistent.

My listening habits pegged me as: a Roboticist, because I hit play on a list and once it's done in an hour I cannot be bothered to search out another one and instead I just let it play on in the hopes that I'll discover something new... which is how it should be! Especially if the algorithm would be a dear and didn't play the same 30 songs on any list I hit play on no matter the genre!

So in case you listened to spotify this year, I1ll tag: @traumschwinge @nautilicious @phloxy-fox @battlekilt @insertmeaningfulusername @firstofficerwiggles and @dukeoftheblackstar

like i need you all to realise there’s an Actual reason twitter is like that and that’s because the website Can And Will Shove Random Fan Content In CCs Spaces bc algorithms are Terrible. the entire internet is not like tumblr and ao3 ccs can’t just hide tags or not search on stuff like Twitter or YouTube comments or their own subreddits. like what are they meant to do if something weird pops up bc of an algorithm most websites aren’t tumblr and don’t let you turn that shit off. unfortunately the internet is a hellscape and your hot takes about cc boundaries or whatever don’t change that.

[sodacowboy]

the algorithm is never more apparent to me than when I see a youtuber I watch in the chat of another youtuber I watch
