#but also. it just feels like making fun of edgy teenagers who exaggerate their experiences

[asairayn]

Just to clarify! When I, and I assume I speak for most teenage-emo-depressed-anxious-mentally-ill-disabled-whatever else people, say that "nobody understands me," in general it is not saying that "nobody has ever shared my experiences and I am completely unique in my struggles," but rather "everybody who I describe my ------- to misunderstands/downplays/ignores/compares to something unrelated and assumes that is correct/etc."

There is a difference.

When you tell someone about your struggles, about your mental health, about something important, and they completely misunderstand or downplay it, that takes a toll. Even if only a couple people do that, while everyone else is compassionate (if not fully understanding, because it is rare that we can truly understand each other), those few bad experiences stick with you.

"Nobody understands me" has become a stereotypical attack on "emo teenagers," a way of making fun of them for assuming they are completely unique.

Sometimes, it really does feel like nobody understands you. Sometimes it feels like nobody ever will.

Not everyone can explain their struggles in a way people can understand. Not everyone has people willing to understand.

Sure, some of the people saying "nobody understands me" are truly just exaggerating, but assuming that everyone who says it is "just emo" or an "edgy teenager" completely ignores everyone who has never had someone there who understands.

Everyone who needs someone to understand.

Hi, I wanted to ask you a question nyt tumblr's ask functionality doesn't support pictures and I wanted to include one I found online which fits the question perfectly. So instead I made a post and tagged you on it. Hopefully toi have time to share your thoughts. :) Regards.

And the question-in-image-form appears to be this one:

A lot has been written on this already, so let’s go at it from a different angle this time. Let’s look at life through the eyes of 21st century whiteboi.

You grow up a little, probably quite insulated in some suburb, and eventually you go to school and learn about your country’s history. That history will involve lots of conquest and colonialism and taking over half the world. And yet, even though all of this happened just 100-150 years ago, it seems to have lost all relevance. All the old white empires are long gone and the philosophy that undergirded them is nowadays called “white supremacy” and “racism” and considered very immoral. And you personally really have no idea how one would go about doing colonialism or why anyone would even want to. Your recent ancestors with all their strange motivations may as well be aliens to you.

To make matters even more awkward, some of your classmates are descendants of people who, according to your history books, were considered inferior by your alien ancestors. But they don’t seem inferior at all. In fact, they seem to be generally more naturally athletic than you, have a lot more social confidence and are more fun to be around, and have an easier time with the girls (or maybe they’re just more persistent than you). All the things a teenage whiteboi considers cool, his Black and Brown classmates are better at. Hmmm.

And yet things are about to get even worse. You as a young white guy may have recently learned that women weren’t allowed to fully participate in public life until just a few decades ago because, and we seem to be hitting a theme here, your silly ancestors considered them inferior. But it hasn’t escaped your notice that your white girl peers are outperforming the white guys academically and if you were to look up college graduation and career performance figures for young whites, you’d see this trend continue. Also, so many young women seem to be shaping the political and cultural movements of your generation. Hmmmmm!

You get the ominous feeling that your ancestors must have been very confused about most things and listening to their opinions doesn’t seem to help you navigate your world in the slightest. So you must turn elsewhere for guidance. Pop culture, what do you have to say about all of this?

Now that seems to be making a lot more sense to you. While obviously edgy and exaggerated sometimes, it actually speaks to your real-life experience. Maybe you really aren’t the center of the universe, even if your great-grandfather thought so. Maybe it’s time to let others shine--maybe they’ll even outshine you and that’s fine. Maybe the idea even excites you a little bit.

And what if we took that seed of excitement and added some extremely arousing visuals, what would that look like? Well, somewhat like this:

Blacked shows you very attractive people having interracial sex, which is obviously the main appeal here, but it also tells you a story: the story of sexually liberated and perky white women seeking out the company of ripped and equally confident Black men. That’s a story you as a 21st century whiteboi can very much relate to. It’s one you’ve learned in your own life and further bought into via pop culture and it pushes all your buttons without seeming like obvious fantasy. It looks good to you, but it also looks so right. You just can’t avert your eyes!

Of course you still might want to have sex with a white woman yourself at some point. But that doesn’t change the fact that interracial pairings are the most arousing to you after all. Much like short guys generally don’t seek out porn with short performers to validate themselves, you’d rather watch the sexiest actors go at it than those who look more like yourself. It’s quite natural.

And that’s why you have a hard time getting over it. But why would you want to get over it anyway? If interracial love and sex are the pinnacle of human beauty, then by all means, we should want to see more of it, right?

some p!g-drv3 theories (spoilers obvi)

First of all I think people demonize the pg versions wayyy too much because its a good way to be le sexy in like fanfictions. And i get it, villains are hot or whatever. and also hs is a horny age to be. But even the edgiest and horniest of teens aren’t like. that sexual/monstrous. its kind of insane the portrayals people are placing

maybe this could also be like me being older bc when i was early hs i was like yea its fair to place these super mature portrayals on a 18-22 year old they are like adults but young and now im that age and im like woah there pardner. might be an age/maturity thing. 

also like its normal for people to relate to and portray characters their same age in a similar fashion, but when adults write more sexual content about the dg kids i get hella fucking sus

idk where i was going with that first comment i guess its like a preface and in the end i think its important when characters especially teenage characters are morally grey not because they’re mature and dark/brooding but because they are still young and learning. fuck im older than like most of them, but im still young and learning. its good to be in turmoil and confused, especially the drv3 cast. they are more confused than anything.

which i think is a reason why people would join dr because if you are completely loss and in turmoil, it is appealing to be given a purpose in life and amazing talents/abilities. despite the morals of danganronpa, it is a simple reality to be told who you are and what to do

OK ONTO HEADCANONS (not doing all bc i dont have thoughts about all)

first of all i understand changing stories but i think, deep down, you can’t change fundamental personalities/values. so while the backstories might be different i think, in the end, a baseline is always the same

SHUICHI being a Bad Boy is like canon obviously but i dont think he’s as manipulative as people make him out to be. i think he falls in the more the bully role that like. mae borowski or tf2′s scout filled before they grew up. rough background, bad anger issues, lots of emotional turmoil, and the only way he knows how to deal with shit is by committing crimes and beating the shit out of people. and, similar to those characters, drv3 represents an older, more emotionally sober yet equally confused version of himself. the urges are still there as foreshadowed in the dialogue. i think he struggles with guilt, mostly survivors, but there is still a lasting impact of guilt of what he did in his past, even if he can’t remember.

KOKICHI is a child. a piece of shit motherfucker child but a child. I really do think he’s like one of the youngest people in the cast. he reminds me a lot of when my brother doesn’t take his adhd medicine and takes jokes way too far and does mean and cruel things because he thinks its funny and that its just a fun joke, but is hurting people. he desperately wants approval, which is why his leader role is so interesting because in the dr narrative he has the approval he craves and so he is satisfied. still, he does try to impress characters like rantaro and values his opinions a lot, even developing a brotherly relationship in the time they knew each other. this being said, its established kokichi was bullied before, but i dont think he’s like. the wimp people make him out to be. i think he’s more of like the class clown who desperately uses humor to make people like him, and ends up resorting to be the butt of most of his jokes. you don’t just develop a good sense of humor out of a brainwash, and that’s not something you can program in. i think that was a remnant of before, and he’s so good at bullying people and coming up with roasts - i just think that in p!g the roasts were about him.

KAEDE is baby but her p!g personality seriously reminds me of any ~quirky/edgy~ girl in a teen coming of age story who tries to be edgy and cool and act like she doesn’t care but deep down, she really does. if she didn’t have an empathetic personality, she wouldn’t want to end the game. i also think she has that self-identifying QuIrKy personality because its like she lives in her own narrative, practically announcing this story is about her and she is the protagonist. i know i used to self narrate like that and distinguish how i was different when i was like. 15-16. she has a tumblr. 

I really like the theory where KAITO is a make-a-wish kid who was better when he was younger but relapses later in teens. he never used his wish before, so he decides to use it now to be on danganronpa and become the hero he always wanted to be. i also think he might have joined as a way to raise awareness about adolescent healthcare. definitely the type who puts on a “heroic” character to make everyone else feel better about the fact he is literally dying of a terminal illness, and keeps that act up till the end. 

i think KOREKIYO is still a serial killer. i think honestly a reason why he mightve auditioned for danganronpa is because he is a serial killer. maybe his sister found out and he felt so much shame that’s why he auditioned. he probably mentioned why in his interview because duh, tell them im a serial killer and then only reason im coming clean is my sister found out and im ashamed, that is like a guarantee to get on the show.  i LOVE the theory that his sister is still alive, however, and has to watch her brother go insane because they wrote her into the story as the villain. because technically, she brought on this guilt, and is the reason why he auditioned - as a way to cause despair, twist it around so she’s the one to blame for his insanity. also, because its pretty accepted DR members become celebrities, kork’s sister is totally bombarded with paparazzi and is demonized in the media. she might end up writing a tell-all memoir about kork’s actual childhood and personality. quiet kid, thoughtful, interested in anthropology, she never thought he’d hurt a fly. watching her brother go insane probably destroyed her. 

I also think, timeline wise, kork is probably one of the oldest members along with rantaro. tbh i think kork actually graduated hs and went on a gap year doing the whole “hitchhike around the world to discover myself thing” which is where he began killing people. he was getting ready to go to college when his sister found out about what he did. this is when he decided to go on danganronpa instead of university. this would help explain why he knows so much about other cultures/travel/been so many places with so many memories/killed/is knowledgable on a level most other students are not. this would place him at like, 20-21, where everyone else is like 15-18.

ok so there’s two p!g RANTARO, p!g before 53 and p!p!g before 52. i’d like to establish now i think rantaro is the oldest of the characters, seeing as though he was already pretty old to begin with in 52, it takes time between television seasons, and he was in another game. so im placing him like 21-23, similar to yasuhiro in d1 being so much older than everyone else. i do think, in all iterations, rantaro was pretty much raising his sisters, though i don’t think he had twelve like the story (i think that’s an exaggeration, his sisters mean a lot to him, lets make him have a TON and then lose them all and feel GUILTY) rantaro joined the first game, partially to get money for his family and hopefully establish them as celebrities and let them have a comfy lifestyle, even if he doesn’t live...and also to finally ahve some sort of experience without his siblings tagging along. if he’s been raising his sisters all his life, he’s never had like something that’s JUST his. that’s his adventure. 52 is his ULTIMATE adventure. ahaha. mostly for money, kind of dreading it, still a tiny bit excited

ok p!g rantaro between 52 and 53 probably came back broken. he did the signings and appearances, but mostly wanted to spend time with his family and make sure they were set up. i think he knew the whole like few months between seasons he had to go on another show, but he did’t tell his sisters. his family found out when they saw a billboard with his face plastered on it hyping up the return of a fan favorite. yikes!

ok i get it a lot of people hate HIMIKO but i think she’s not nearly as similar as other “useless” characters in other games. its like, pretty clear she’s depressed, and the only thing she’s holding onto with dear life is magic. lack of hygiene, lack of personal care, constantly tired, social interaction exhausts - she has depression, but she’s not an UWU depressed character. so people find her depressive traits (which are some of the most realistic portrayals of mental health in the series) SUPER annoygin. she joined dr because she was completely lost and needed some sort of direction in her life, even if she’ll die for it. the thing is, even with direction, her mental state didn’t change because she wasn’t getting legitimate help. it’s like that one SNL skit that’s like. same sad you from before but in a new place. i also think she knows the magic is not real, because how could she not. i think she’s so adamant that it IS real, less as a way to convince others, and more of a way to convince herself. it’s like really super cruel that team danganronpa took a girl who is desperate for meaning and gave her literally a meaningless, fake talent.

i also kin himiko and find her a comfort character because i feel seen by her, replacing her useless talent of magic with mine of like shitty film making and comedy. i am seen.

related i don’t think she’s nearly as ugly as everyone says she is, i think she’s probably just depressed and takes absolutely no care of her hygiene and sleep and looks like sick and greasy all the time. same queen.

honest to god i think RYOMA’s backstory, tennis and all, is like 100% real and he’s the only one who keeps all of his memories except for the fact this is a tv show. i think he rolled up, a hot fucking mess, and the danganronpa team were like damn. we cannot improve upon this.

[marisexmas]

alrighty I. finally gathered my courage and gave a proper listen to all the dub voices in puyo puyo tetris from this video. so now here’s a big old post of my analyses/thoughts on each character’s dub voice, normal and alt, with varying degrees of seriousness, for the sole reason that I had absolutely nothing better to do with my time

DISCLAIMER THINGY:if anyone cares enough to read this please read it with the understanding that my intent to buy and enjoy this game has not changed because of these voices. I did this purely for fun/out of boredom and while my opinions are somewhat strong, I don’t want them to affect anyone else’s interest in getting the game and enjoying it. these are only my thoughts and I’m just doing this to gush and also vent kinda.

okay here we go

overall: in general so many of these voices sound… foreign to me, ironic as that is. it’s simply because of the differences between spoken english and spoken japanese and the fact that I’ve grown accustomed to the japanese voices over almost four long years. no matter what, it’s gonna take a while to adjust to hearing these characters speaking english, most of them for the first time ever. to me, many of the english vas don’t sound as “into it” as the japanese vas, which is understandable because the jp vas have much more experience and practice voicing these characters. overall though? I think most of them did a pretty great job! and I’m sure if more puyo games get localized, the english vas will get a feel for the characters which will lead to them sounding more natural. let us cross our fingers and Hope!!

now for thoughts on individual voices. buckle up kids

Ringo:she sounds a lot more tomboyish and in-your-face than I expected, but honestly I kinda like that? she does sound a little bland and plain compared to the jp va, but to be fair it’s hard to compete with idol seiyuu goddess asami imai. I feel like I’ll warm up to this voice relatively quickly though~ Alt Ringo:Not really anything noteworthy? she sounds a lot more “aw yeah” and spunky though, which is cute! I like it a lot

Risukuma: I like his english voice a lot because while his jp va sounded eccentric in a creepy way, his en va sounds eccentric in a charming “cool dad” way, like the kind of cool mentor who’s probably very dangerous to hang around but you don’t care cause he’s just so cool. either way the “pedobear” vibes are not nearly as strong in his english voice which I am immensely thankful for Alt Risukuma: ounds like a guy who’s reading a storybook to small children and trying to put on a “gruff bear” voice to really invest them in it. it sounds strange but it’s oddly entertaining and kind of adorable

Schezo: my biggest issue with his english va is that it just sounds kind of… Flat? it just doesn’t have that Oomph or that Zeal that the japanese va had. but as I said that’s understandable because of the difference in experience, so it’s not too bad. the voice fits him very well, a good shounen swordsman voice. that’s enough to satisfy me. Alt Schezo: the most smug sarcastic self-satisfied asshole I have ever heard and I absolutely love it. this is a man who knows he has 5000+ followers on tumblr because of his “edgy” posts and because of that believes he is a paragon of sensibility and right-ness.

O:Bibibiii. Sounds pretty much the same as the japanese voice, only without the japanese inflection or accent. not much to say honestly? but it sounds nice. Alt O: I like the english alt way more than the japanese alt because it actually did something different. whO ANGERED THE CHEESE SPHERE THEY BETTER BOOK A FLIGHT OUTTA THIS UNIVERSE

Maguro: I was expecting a more P4 Yosuke-esque voice for maguro so the voice they actually gave him was a little surprising to me? but I actually like this one a lot more than I thought I would! it really plays him up as a playful carefree guy who doesn’t take life too serious and is just out to have fun. it’s a really good voice for him and I love it a lot Alt Maguro: he sounds!! like one of those stereotypical smooth-talking radio host dudes!! and it’s the greatest thing ever!! this is my number one favorite alt voice by far, it’s genius?? “You’re tuning into Smooth Jazz Hour with the S-man, kick up a chair, relax with some of Suzuran’s hottest jazz hits and add some Pizzazz to your evening~★”

Tee: stereotypical shounen anime protagonist voice at its finest. I’m honestly glad they chose a male va to voice him because that kind of voice more accurately reflects his character and sounds better for him in english than an english-speaking female voice would have sounded. if that makes sense Alt Tee: I really didn’t notice anything “different” about his alt voice at all? the inflections and such are different but otherwise the two voices sound pretty similar. they just sound like two different takes of the same lines basically…

Amitie: Flawless VA choice! I’m 99% sure christine cabanos is voicing her and a better match could not have been made, she has the peppy naive eager-to-help magical girl vibe that suits her perfectly!! I’ve honestly started liking her en va more than her jp va, and she’s the only returning fever 1 character whose puyotet va I may actually prefer over her old fever 1 va (though that still fluctuates quite a bit because fever 1 is too dear to my heart) Alt Amitie: Fanciful British Amitie!! I love her!! it’s really amusing and adorable to hear her try to sound “refined” and fail miserably. it just makes her even cuter and her ditziness more endearing, this is probably up there on my Favorite Alts chart, though there are others coming up that have her beat

Feli: she sounds a little bit older than I expected but I think the va pulled off her creepy, vaguely threatening tone of voice exceedingly well. I’m a little disappointed that they didn’t give her stocking’s va if only to play on her similar appearance, but all in all her voice is pretty good. Alt Feli: Rebellious Teenage Wangst Factory Yeah!! Shut up Mom!! You don’t Control Me!! I didn’t Ask to be Born!! I’m gonna Curse you and everyone else I hate cause I hate Everyone!! Lemres is the only one who understands my Brooding, Broken Inner Soul!! Everyone I know is so Lame and Embarrassing!! I Hate My Life!! (it’s beautiful)

Ai: let me say Thank You VA People For Getting A VA That Can Do A Convincing Dog Imitation. that was one of my biggest worries with this dub tbh, and I’m glad to hear that his dog whimpering is as beautiful in english as it is in japanese. the voice itself is also quite nice, not quite as effeminate but still pleasant to listen to. Alt Ai: you know when people make fun of their mom or wife or some other female/effeminate authority figure by imitating them in a shrill gravelly falsetto to make them sound as annoying and antagonistic as possible? this voice is essentially that. it’s funny but it also grates on my ears if I listen to it for too long

Ess: again she’s way older-sounding than I anticipated? though the voice is not bad, I do think it’s a little unfitting for her childish, bratty personality. I wish it had been just a little higher-pitched? however it still carries the tone of spoiled entitlement that is essentially her brand, which is great. plus she’s still cute as heck, so it’s all good in my book! Alt Ess: Basically normal Ess if you subtract the spoiled entitled daddy’s girl and substitute it with cool confident action girl. I like it cause it’s almost like character development! she grew up and abandoned her spoiled ways, and now she’s on the road to becoming a mature, honest and learned adult!

Klug: it makes me sad to get this negative after so much optimism, but oh boy. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I cannot stand the voice they gave him. I had to mute my volume halfway through his spells because I just. can’t? nothing about his voice or his personality in the jp version supports the idea that he would sound like this? even ignoring the voice not fitting him at all, it’s generally just exhausting and stress-inducing to listen to. I’m happy if others can find something to like in it but I just. can’t? suketoudara, the dancing mascot fish, sounds less like a caricature than klug does and that in itself is unacceptable to me Alt Klug: I still don’t really like the choice of va, but this is a much less grating and more reasonable style of speaking for him. this is what normal klug should have sounded like. in fact, why isn’t this his normal voice? who decided to make the voice that sounds like an actual human being his “alt” and the one that sounds like a perpetually screeching demon spawn his standard? I apologize for my negative rant becoming this long but after so many decent, sensible casting decisions it genuinely astounds me that a professional voice directing team somehow managed to butcher this character so completely

Sig: hearing english sig is a very complicated experience for me especially, both because of the bias of sig being my favorite character and the fact that hearing him voiced by a guy after 4+ years listening to him voiced by a girl. while I still would have preferred a more youthful voice from a female va, I’m quite all right with the voice they gave him now, despite my initial distaste? it’s different, but the most important thing to me is that it retains his spacey, well-meaning but absentminded nature. it isn’t Pure Perfection, but it should be noted that sig has a unique style of speaking that would be very difficult to recreate in another language. when I look at it like that, I think the directors did a respectably good job with him. (and… his “oh boy” damaged quote. Masterful.) Alt Sig: I like this alt for the same reason I liked happy sig in 20th; getting to hear sig speak with more emotion. though this time he’s just a cocky anime protag. I love my boy and I love hearing him go beyond his drawling monotone, in both english and japanese. plus I’m just glad they didn’t go for pokemon speak like jp, because as painful as that was in japanese it definitely would’ve sounded a hundred times more painful in english.

Draco: like a lot of people, I really appreciate english draco being much less grating than japanese draco. to be honest I think this low, strong, more butch-sounding voice fits her much better. I gotta say I’m pleasantly surprised? I might even use her more because I’m quite fond of her new voice… Alt Draco: her alt is kinda amusing to me because it sounds like english draco trying to sound more like japanese draco? I bet this is the voice she uses at beauty pageants. it’s adorable and charming and it makes me want to hug her

Zed: I never paid much attention to him as a character but I like his english voice, it sounds very friendly and warm. in a way it gives me E-102 vibes, it’s strangely nostalgic to me in a sense. it’s quite nice. he’s a nice papa robot. ess is in very good hands. Alt Zed: basically zed as an actual robot. it’s amusing but very predictable and not too noteworthy so there’s not much I have to say about it…

Jay and Elle: first of all *pops party popper* congrats jay on being the only male character voiced by a female va in japanese who is also voiced by a female va in english~ (not counting carby and o~) that aside, the wonder twins are my favorite tetris characters and I’m very happy with how they’re voiced in english! they sound like the adorable and mischievous little shits that they are. I can’t wait to hear them in adventure mode I know they’re gonna be great Alt Jay and Elle: essentially the same “creepy twins” theme that was done with their alt in the jp version. They still sound cute but it’s another cliche voice trope and there’s not much to say unfortunately

Arle and Carbuncle: as one of the two people who liked her voice in fever 1 (and zero of the zero who liked carbuncle’s), I still think these vas are a massive improvement. she sounds much more like a spirited spunky adventurer with just the right amount of sass, just like the compile days. on that note, I especially like english carbuncle for exactly that reason. his deeper voice almost feels like a callback to his voice acting from those ancient madou games of years past, and that makes me inexplicably happy Alt Arle and Carbuncle: this alt is?? hard to describe?? arle sounds slightly more forceful in her speech, and her tone carries more of an anti-hero vibe? meanwhile carbuncle sounds almost exactly the same. I don’t really know what to make of it…

Suketoudara: first of all how dare you. How dare you have such a flawless english voice. how dare you make me actually start kind of liking you. you’re a mascot character. you’re not supposed to be this cool. go tell your voice director to switch with whoever was in charge of klug’s va. this is unexcusable. I’m angry. (in 100% seriousness though he has an awesome english voice and I am kinda bitter but not that much) Alt Suketoudara: hueAH GOT MY BLUE SUEDE SHOOOES, AN’ I… …HHAH GOT MY BLUE SUEDE SHOOOES, AN’ I…~♪. TOUCH DOWN IN THE LAND O’ THE DELTA BLUUUE, IN THE MIDDLE O’ THE POOOURIN’ RAIN ~~♪ (basically: Raw Unbridled Soul Grit)

Satan I mean Dark Prince: though I miss his super super deep jp voice, his english voice still sounds plenty sinister and powerful despite the fact that he himself is rarely either of those. he has a voice that could very easily intimidate and establish authority, and still sounds like a serious, threatening presence even though he’s one of the franchise’s biggest butt monkeys. still can’t wait to hear him cry like a baby in adventure mode though~ Alt Satan: The Most Beautiful and Campiest of Camp Gays. basically oshare in satan’s body. if any of you wanted a cameo from oshare in a main game look no further because he’s right here. he’s finally returned to us in the most unexpected of forms

Rulue: the ojou in her voice is not nearly as strong, but it definitely commands the image of a Fighting Queen. she sounds a lot tougher and less demure than her jp counterpart, and I’m having kind of a hard time deciding which portrayal I like better? I think they’re both equally good. her “Tetris” sounds horribly out of place though, for some reason. Alt Rulue: again I don’t hear much of a difference tone-wise? this rulue sounds less fired up and a little more… smug? but that’s it. maybe this is the return of “ojou” rulue… I think I like tough asskicking rulue better though

Raffina: first: nope, I still have not adapted to that spelling change. second: from an objective standpoint, this voice is a very good fit for her. but to me, who has known and loved her fabulous fever 1 va for thirteen years and still heralds it as The Ideal Raffina Voice to this day, this new voice just sounds far too generic in comparison. it’s a wonderful voice and I like it, but it’s going to be a long and bittersweet road before I can let go of the La-ti-das in my heart ;v; Alt Raffina:the polar opposite of alt rulue. abandoning the ojou way, raffina’s voice loses all its prim and properness as she goes full fighting foodon. I like this voice because it makes me think of a raffina who’s made peace with her lack of magical talent and focused on perfecting her fighting skills instead.

Witch: Very different from her jp voice, much deeper and more tomboyish than I imagined… but honestly I’ve started to like it a lot. a real lot. a “wow this is the best voice I never knew I wanted for her” lot. I am very inordinately fond of her english voice oh my goodness. maybe it’s my love for tomboyish witches talking but… it’s a Good Voice Alt Witch: it’s like witch if they’d tried to make her sound closer to her jp voice. more childish and giddy and deliberately cute-sounding. but after hearing it I have to say I still vastly prefer her normal english voice?? what is this. I’ve been hexed

Ecolo: a friend and I talked long ago about how great ecolo would sound if sam riegel voiced him. and while I’m sad that it didn’t come to pass, I think this voice is a good fit for him too. childish, playful, and slightly dangerous… I hear people say he sounds like a girl, but I don’t really hear it? he just sounds… like an otherworldly blob. which is apt. Alt Ecolo: ecolo after entering Pouty Tantrum Mode. he’s the universe’s biggest baby and it’s fantastic. “Whatever. I didn’t wanna do that anyway. See if I care. Myeh.” ecolo we love you, you tiny ender of worlds. now sit in the corner and think about what you’ve done.

Ex: people were saying he sounds like a game show host, and sure enough when I first heard his voice I could vividly picture him hosting a game of jeopardy. his voice doesn’t have the wistful, sentimental vibe the jp voice did, but he still sounds like a wise, gentle mentor. and the host of jeopardy… alEx trebek, ladies and gentlemen Alt Ex: if normal ex is the host of game shows, then alt ex is the host of extreme wrestling tournaments. it’s beautiful and it must be heard to be believed. OOOOH YEEEEAH! TETRAMANIA COMIN’ AT YA BROTHERRRR

Lemres: he’s another firmly-established character introduced long ago, whose new english portrayal is going to take a lot of getting used to. despite what I’ve heard, he doesn’t sound bara at all. his voice is not as soft and singsongy though… instead he sounds more like a stereotypical teen celebrity heartthrob. and honestly, I really really like that they went that route because that’s essentially what he is? it’s a weird situation because the voice itself is eh to me, but the context of it makes me appreciate and enjoy it more? it’s especially cool cause recent games have glossed over/downplayed lemres’s celebrity status a whole bunch, so it almost feels like someone on the voice team actually did their homework on the other games in the puyo series. and that makes me happy~ Alt Lemres:okay the surfer dude voice is beautiful enough on its own but do you remember?? these old dr. pepper commercials?? that is what Immediately popped in my head upon hearing his win quote?? it made me cry laughing what a magical world we all live in

im very bad at dealing with people i don’t agree w/. 

There is this youtuber, VeganGains, and in one of the videos he made (why i dropped out of school, which btw, he didn’t even drop out of school.), he says that he could have easily gone through with university and become a lawyer or doctor. He then goes on to say that he didn’t do it because 2 people he knew in high school were not smart and went to university and therefore university is not for smart people. This is so incorrect i don’t know where to begin. Like first of all he is criticizing all universities by using 2 examples (of which he did not give any support for, either claims). He is also insulting universities when he hasn’t gone to one claiming some courses teach you ‘horse shit’, just because his veganism has “shown” him that you do not need meat in your diet and that meat/eggs ect. don’t give any nutritional value therefore schools that teach nutrition's courses are liars. Like he doesn’t explain himself at all he just makes these large ass claims, then in the same video says that school doesn’t teach him critical thinking, and says school hasn’t taught him anything of value. All three were not clearly explained, thought out or even addressed to why he had no examples. In my opinion, this video makes him seem idiotic in his reasoning/critical thinking. He doesn’t support these large ass claims. I will however say that I am probably super super super, biased, being raised in the Western world where I have been raised to love and uphold the education system. Yet it seems the education system has made many people’s lives better and makes people smarter, even though he went through high school and didn’t. 

I would also like to add that he lies about his personal experiences which make him look petty. Like he makes fun of the Muslim and Christian religions by bringing up examples of his philosophy course, which he enjoyed, other than the fact that there were “extremist Muslims” that sent him death threats daily. I know it’s hard to disprove that, but at the same time that’s SUCH A HUGE FUCKING CLAIM, he literally says that he got death threats and doesn’t support it at all, like shouldn’t he at least have some relevance to the story? like that probably didn’t happen and you’re exaggerating and making the Muslim religion look bad. He then goes on to tell a story about a Muslim man who went on to become a Biologist (one of his 2 “dumb” people that he knew went to university), who believed that Allah could save him from starvation if he respected Allah enough. He didn’t say anything bad about him, but it added no relevance to his story and i’m 80% sure he just said that to make that man seem ignorant. Like that is so petty, and just shows that he is Islamophobic (at least a little bit)

Lastly, i just want to say this guy is incredibly obnoxious, he also is imo a psychopath. He threatened to kill a man in another video just because he had internet beef with him. Saying “i would kill him if i had the chance” then describes the exact way he would like to see him die (by slitting his throat and watching him bleed in fear). In the video mentioned above, he mentions how he easily could have become a surgeon and his mother encouraged it. This is somehow one of his earlier passions because he likes to “cut people open”. Which i guess could be medical and just one of his things he likes about surgery but i think it is way to creepy to be realistically something to look forward to while being a surgeon.

I don’t know what made me want to write this so badly, is it because he is so wrong, is it because i’m an edgy teenager who wants to get his frustrations out, i don’t know and i feel super weird typing whatever this is, ill probably hate myself for this (wow im so edgy holy shit). anyway fuck this psychopath who thinks school isn’t smart/ teaches garbage just because it doesn’t agree with him. (science is great because you don’t have to agree with it to be true)
