#do not kill the part of you that is cringe. kill the part of you that cringes :)

Not to be harsh or anything but which part of France are you from ? because the accent must be insane if your French is worse than theirs 😂

For Sam, I get that he is Australian and that it must be tough, but his french was incomprehensible without subtitles. I concede that Assad was immaculate for a non speaker, though ; but since Armand is not supposed to be French, that his pronunciation and understanding of the language was infinitely better than Lestat’s and Nicky’s was cringe AF.

Roxane (Madeleine) IS French so no qualm here (but the difference with the others in scenes in french was made all the more flagrant : the one with her aggressors for example) ; all the extras in the second season were atrocious and pissed me off personally : it’s really not difficult to get a native for a small speaking part, I hate when they do that, it takes me out of the story 😒 I mean, the killed gendarmes in episode 2 and 8 were clearly French so proof it is possible.

Sorry, nothing against you or anything but no, butchering was clearly made.

btw I’m french and it really warmed my heart when I heard the characters of iwtv speaking french without butchering tf out of it lmaoo . I think that their french is better than mine lol

I made my post about Dean Highbottom and then as I was writing my tags realised that his Hunger Games counterpart is Haymitch. and now my head is in my hands and I don’t think I’ll ever recover

[bacchuschucklefuck]

you get riz gukgak so well 👍👍

thank u!! he really kinda is all of my favourite character things rolled into one package (negotiation of principles/investigator-truth seeker-negotiator with reality and the narrative/obnoxious character whose narrative reward for participating in the story is getting to be even more authentically obnoxious/deeply and hauntingly aroace

sorry i cant be normal about characters. as if it's my fault

I partially disagree. As you see from the pieces it differed A LOT from the material they claimed got inspired on to the point of the most critical parts being twisted. Literally the most iconic parts were twisted. What you say was true for the first two sagas maximum till Polyphemus but after that especially after Circe the thing was unrecognizable and these changes had me cringe and not particularly feel entertained despite the fact that the music was undoubtedly good.

I honestly don't get it why people feel the need to change the hell out of a story and then realize that even then they need to warn people that they shouldn't use it for studies! Like...pardon my French but no shit Sherlock! I speak on readers not to use my fanfiction/retelling to study Odyssey at times in our conversation and I follow the book! Yet alone Jorge who follows literally nothing of the Odyssey anymore. Yes I agree it is good that he spoke up but the whole concept had me dying inside to be honest. And of course fandom logic STILL uses the musical for research or worse that the info Jorge got out of his head got so mingled with the sources that people cannot tell the differences

Again if he wanted to deflect so much from the original why did he name it "Odyssey" in the first place? Do what PJO did. Create an original character and an original story...why did he have to mangle Odyssey to THAT degree?

Both the concept of begging (and POSEIDON no less one of the three most powerful gods) and I would argue the concept of killing gods in Greek mythology is cringe. For starters only minor deities do it (ironically fucking CIRCE does it! Which makes me even more furious at how Odyssey was treated by the musical) and even then like most of the time humans were assisted by gods (in this case Hermes) but also dying is cringe. Ancient greek gods are immortal. It is the massive different from the Egyptian gods for once that do die in the myths because Egyptians had theocracy so the concept of Pharaoh being a God by blood and ruling was being "explained" by making gods also possible to die and rebirth. Greek gods are immortal and eternal. That is part of the key point of culture.

New Epic saga and it's horrible... to give you an idea, Odysseus fought Poseidon, stole his trident and made him beg for mercy

hmmm a god begging a mortal for mercy is not exactly on par with Greek religion and stories. How did that scene made it into the final version?

whatever. old man yuri blast 💥

mm.. I can kind of see Dragunov being perfectionist about his physical condition, looks, and physique in a certain way.. there's an aesthetic, a vibe, a standard- he holds himself (and nobody else) to. The idea of an icy powerhouse, calculating and precise, merciless and exempt from fear, pain, etc. ..a weapon more than a man. So I think it's very distressing for him to feel like he's slipping under the bar. He doesn't mind the scars, or getting temporarily dirtied and scuffed up.. It's not like that.. It's when he cracks, and the weakness he contains (like every human does), is laid out for all to see. It's when he's injured or otherwise hindered in such a way that he couldn't protect himself if it came to it. He'd probably be internally disappointed and though he'd never admit it, frightened if he saw his performance falling below his expectations

I LOVE when people have different interpretations and headcanons than me. We all see things so differently n it's great

Riddle goes to Idia's room for Manga Recomendations (Cater advice). Idia shows off his colections featuring the more questionable manga he owns. Riddle gets, understandably, curious. Most Akward missunderstanding of their life insues.

WHAT THE CRAP IS THIS

[grooviestsadpapaya]

Literally I cannot possibly have anyone I know in real life find out about my comic or I will have two worlds collide and that would be bad,,, is this normal

[dixidin]

And you still haven't responded to most the stuff I've answered from you

@sinnlos-star everyone's so mean 2 me sometimes....☹️

[novelconcepts]

me, every time I leave a deeply earnest comment on Instagram:

“I promise I’m normal. I am so normal. This is so embarrassing. Why am I here. Why are any of us here. I swear, I’m so chill. I know you’re supposed to tell artists they’re making shit you like so I’m uh. I’m trying. To do that. And be positive about representation and jobs well done. But you’re right, it’s so cringe, I am s o. sorry. I’ll just see myself out.”

[towards-toramunda]

I’m sorry if anyone is annoyed with my ashrym brain rot but if it makes you feel better I am also annoyed with my ashrym brain rot.

I'm going to be honest finding your account has sent me down a rabbit hole I did not expect to find myself in, yesterday I spent six hours, looking at all of your stuff and I'm absolutely amazed, I have no words. Your art and everything you talk about I'm absolutely fascinated in a very normal way I don't mean to sound weird. I was wondering if you had any thoughts to share with someone who's hating everything they draw and have lost the fun and passion when creating, I want to snap out of it.

I've been holding onto this ask for a minute because a few years back I went through a phase (I call it a phase, I fully intended never to pick up art again) where I also hated everything I was making

ultimately, what got me out of it was mostly doing other stuff. not even in a 'get a new hobby,' kind of way, I hated drawing in my sketchbook, so I started cutting out washi tape as clothes over old sketches and filling in the negative space between scribbles with highlighter and pen colors I thought looked nice. I went out to daiso, bought $10 worth of stickers, and started putting them where I thought it would look nice when I got the urge to do something but still couldn't bring myself to actually pick up a pencil.

if there's something that you know for sure you don't like about art, it can help to confront it and then go in the other direction. there were a lot of things I used to draw because I felt like it was expected, only I was unhappy all the time, and once I realized I was unhappy because I wasn't actually exploring what I thought was interesting about the subject holding my attention, it was sometimes easier to see what I DID want to do, I just had to acknowledge what I DIDNT want first.

that said, I still have an on-off again antagonism with myself and art, it's messy and it's always going to be that way for me, but whenever I feel stuck, I do try to change things up, or head off to a space that I feel has absolutely no expectations from me whatsoever. like. whenever I get really annoyed on my history blog, I actually turn to watching 2PM's vlogs on youtube. I have enough 2PM art in my sketchbooks I almost thought about making a dedicated HOTTEST twitter account lmao.

probably my last thought on this might be: try keeping two sketchbooks. nothing expensive. one can be something more serious, but keep a space just for yourself to fuck around in. don't draw in it unless you want to. put stickers in it, press flowers that you think look neat. buy some cheap water colors and see if you like the blues that you get out of it. it's okay to feel antagonistic towards art, but if you aren't ready to break up with it (and art will always be there if you want to go back, that's an important thing), I've found the straightforwardness of 'I like these stickers, so I'm going to put them on top of this square of blue I liked,' to be akin to leaving messages for someone you aren't ready to talk to face to face just yet, but maybe someday.

I have this deeply unfortunate condition where I cannot absorb verbal information without doodling, but also I have the drawing skills of young child and the permanently shaky hands of a wizened crone SO the results are. Unfortunate.

I am definitely making a great impression on my classmates and future colleagues by scrawling stick-figure patho characters next to them while they’re trying to listen to orientation lectures 👍🏻

anyway this (+ illegible handwriting) is why I can never lend people my notes. termitarywallart.jpg
