also here's a pjsekai vocal ranking that nobody asked for because im bored and um spoilers shiho hinomori ❤️❤️

20. sorry airi ily💔i love her voice a lot especially in marshmary but there are too many songs where i DONT like her voice so

obligatory dakara motto

19. yes i know not very wonderhoy of me but emu for 18th. i just like everyone else's voices better (which is the case for most of the other characters too)

18. saki! i love leo/need i just can't put her higher

17. nothing to say here just toya

16. i've started to warm up to minori's voice actually i just can't rank it any higher

15. tsukasa tenma is still a star i promise

14. mafuyu ily but the others outrank you 💔

13. ichika's voice i like MOST of the time but after akitoya's cover i can't appreciate dramaturgy

12. rui in 11th idk i just can't hear what others like about his voice most of the time. it's like his voice is made of silk and it fits songs like What Sort Of Ending Are You Wishing For? and tumblr forced me to copy and paste the ? but anyway. yeah wxs doesn't really do that so i don't have much to back myself up

11. nene's voice is really pretty. that's it. it's pretty what more do you want from me

10. kanade. her voice is so gentle and sweet, amazing for songs like IDSMILE, cutlery and saisei

9. an shiraishi. fucking lesbian i love her

8. haruka sounds so pretty but in a few songs - emphasis on "a few" - her voice is a little (too) nasal

7. honami's voice is so underrated "her voice doesn't suit leo/need" shut the fuck up listen to her covers. heartrate. morning glory. hare wo matsu. 1. deep sea lily. FLYWAY. tell me her voice "doesn't suit" those songs. there's peaky peaky and i do not care

6. kohane because the GROWTH. i liked her voice even before NEO and pheles because it was cute but (unlike minori) actually suited VBS really well AND she sounds great with akito's higher voice

5. mizuki didn't make the top 3??? wow

4. akito (chesecak 🤤)

3. shizuku is a literal angel. she is not of this world

2. ena shinonomeme

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

On my first day in Germany I got to my hotel and I couldn't get the lights to turn on. And I was like "Eh, fuck it, I'll just take a shower in the dark." And then the shower wouldn't get hot. I waited and waited and it stayed ice cold.

So I go down to the front desk and I'm like "My lights won't turn on and my shower won't get hot" so they send this guy up with me. We get into the room and I flick the switch and nothing happens so I'm like "See?"

And he goes "You must put your card in the slot."

"I... what? I have to put my room card in the light switch?"

"Of course!"

Now I have been in many hotels in the US and never encountered this concept, but apparently it was something most of their guests already knew. So I'm looking like a fool at this point. I feel like an idiot. The dude is fully grinning at me. I put the card in the slot and voila, the light turns on.

Then he's like "Ok, let's see if the shower works. You know you must wait for the hot water?" and I just know he's thinking I'm an idiot who also can't use a shower. This stupid American can't wait for the hot water! She can't even use a light switch or a shower!

And I guess he was distracted by these thoughts of my stupidity, because this dude fully stepped into the shower. In his nice dress shirt and slacks. He just. Gets into the shower.

And turns it on.

Have you ever seen a playing field get leveled instantaneously

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

I love it when people use "shrimp" to mean "beyond the human range". like "shrimp colors" but applied to other things. "shrimp emotions" "shrimp sounds" "shrimp morality", as if shrimp are living some kind of transcendent existence that humans can never comprehend

A little something for Linguistics Tumblr.

So the Crunchyroll newsroom isn't a "room" so much as a Slack channel. We have news writers all over the US, in Australia, and in Japan. This means we have something akin to 'round-the-clock coverage, but it also means that our schedules respective to each other are skewed. For example, when the East Coast contingent is starting their day, the Japan contingent is shutting down for the evening.

Because of that, we started experimenting with greetings that could apply when Party A was coming in for the morning and Party B was leaving for the night. One person came up with "konbarning": a combination of "good morning" and "konban wa" ("good evening" in Japanese). It stuck.

Over the following months, "konbarning" got shortened to "barning" and other permutations. Now, a year or some later, this is how we announce our arrival:
