the energy I have to be with my extended family for the remainder of the day is a fat fucking 0

The Yiga Clan read to me as a group of people who, at one point, had legitimate grievances against Hyrule, but over the century of them... Basically winning? Like age of calamity be damned they didn't actually canonically have much of a role in the Calamity, but. The guy they were rooting for won, so that's something. And in the century that passed since their guy won, they came under the control of an underqualified nepo baby and became the banana loving fools we know and love today.

Like everyone always talks about "addressing the problems with Hyrule" in botwtotk and I understand why some folks would prefer a dark and edgy completely serious Yiga Clan that addresses those things, but you know what character actually fucking does something about Hyrules government sucking ass? Zelda. Zelda and Link are our focal characters for addressing Hyrule's bullshit and for some reason that doesn't seem to... Count. Which is weird, because where else is this criticism supposed to come from? She's one of the only people left who fucking remembers it, the central government of Hyrule hasn't existed for a century, not even the Hylians really give a shit about it in game! The Sheikah are chilling in their village, the only other race that regularly interacts with Hylians at all are the Gerudo, and the Gerudo are very much in charge of that interaction since they still have their government. The Zora and the Gorons interact with Hylians so infrequently they often forget basic human anatomy and while the Rito are a bit better in that regard, Revali is our focal point for Rito opinions on Hylians so that's covered.

Like the Yiga Clan dont have a Hylian government to oppose in botw! Why would they stop and talk about how shitty it is? It's gone! It doesn't exist! It hasn't existed for a hundred years! They fucking won! They have their status quo in botw and are fighting to keep that status quo. And in totk they're... Building robots that Ganondorf doesn't want BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY they're specifically on a revenge quest to get Links ass and they're trying to get back into the swing of things with the whole "oh wait our guy might... Lose" thing and now that they're getting serious they're much more formidable opponents! But even then, whe one could argue that they have more of a Hylian government to oppose in totk, a) you'd have to argue that what Zelda is doing is establishing a central government at all and not just managing shipping logistics and supervising archaeological digs between sidequests, b) totk practically drills it into our heads that everyone loves Zelda to the point where Ganondorf has to disguise himself as her to get anything done because Zelda's whole thing is not subjecting anyone else to the bullshit she went through. Like six of the seven major people groups in Hyrule actively support Zelda's "y'all do whatever" style of monarchy, if it can even be called monarchy because let's face it, Zelda is only the princess because her pronouns are "the princess," Dr who style. And finally c) botw and totk both establish that Zelda is fucking chill with tech so aside from the "killing her" part the original fucking issue that caused the Yiga Clan to split off from the Sheikah is solved with Zelda in charge anyway.

I dunno, I think that, while fun and therefore the correct choice, Kohga's inclusion in Age of Calamity cheapened the Yiga in a lot of people's minds because they can't recognize a story choice to ignore basic logic that was made in service of including a fan favorite character in a game where the selling point is you get to play as your favorite characters. Like, like no we see people who were alive during the Calamity and barring Purah's laser induced lolita bullshit they're all old as fuck, I'm sorry but Kohga was not in charge of the Yiga Clan pre-calamity, the ruthless Yiga Clan assassins who almost took out Zelda in that one cutscene are not the same Yiga Clan that we encounter in the actual botw gameplay they are a century removed from the source of their sociopolitical motivations

The Yiga Clan aren't vessels through which to critique the Hylian government, Zelda does that just fine, and I think while it's fun to explore what that would've looked like it distracts from what they actually are.

The Yiga Clan are a death cult that got what they wanted, and I think that's way more interesting.

U kno what. Go ham and answer all (or as many of the questions as you want/are relevant) for uhhhhhh Robin and/or Fig (idr if Fig is your OC or Justice’s OC so I’ll leave it up to you)

damb!!!!!!!!!! an excuse to talk too much about robin lets go!!!!!!! (fig is @saltylenpai's and he's not feeling 2 well so i dont wanna bombard him w messages rn dsfds but if i know something for them ill answer it)

also warning for ~mature themes~ or w/e bc this is about robin and she fucks. sorry (nothing graphic just the acknowledgement that she does)

also just for clarity's sake, when i say 'connect 4' thats just the name juice & i use for august/piper/robin/felix bc thats easier than naming them one by one dsfds. on w the show

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

god ngl i can't really, remember, justice might have named her?? like. that's the most likely scenario :sob: he's named so many of my ocs when we were doing back-and-forths trying to figure out the vibes of guys. robin was fun tho bc she didnt have a name when i first posted her bc i really liked her design and wanted to post it despite not having. u know. a name for her yet. also just checked her og post and it has 69 notes. its what she would want

🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)

when i first made her, robin was 25! now its sort of just a nebulous mid-to-late 20s depending on when art of her takes place tbh! i'd say she's 24/5-ish around the start of that story (so, like, when she finally breaks it off 100% w zoey [her shitty ex that she started dating in highschool], piper moves in w her, potential one night stand w felix, etc etc). maybe a little younger but also not by much. by the time she's got shit more figured out (ie felix has moved in, she & piper have started dating, getting help for her various neuroses etc) would be like 28-29, probs in her 30s by the time they ALL move in together imo. i could be off w that tho but its fine dsbhfs their story is always changing and growing so who knows!

okay wait i just came back to this like 3 hours after starting to write these & sitting on it and. i think robin is roughly 23 when zoey breaks up w her and piper moves in. august is in her senior year of undergrad when she meets piper (again) and she's younger than robin. i think piper is the youngest?? okay wait. ok. robin is 23 when piper moves in, who is 21 at the time. august is 22 & felix is like 21 and a half. or something. at the very beginning. or maybe robin is 22 and piper is 20 and they dont encounter august for another year or so??? idk. ill figure this out eventually. where i draw her most is her late 20s when shes happy w everyone HSDVSFV thats what matters

🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?

yeas :3 felix is their partner/fiancé (they dont get married for a long time even after getting engaged bc robin just, really likes calling them her fiancé. it's really special to her) and piper is her girlfriend!! it took a long time for robin to realize she was worth loving tbh but all of connect 4 are out here trying to remind her whenever they can (even august. begrudgingly.) (also just to clarify, august is piper's wife) (and felix's gym buddy/bestie/fuck buddy) (she and robin have some sort of fwb thing going on. enemies with benefits. they pretend to hate each other but dont be fooled. theyre besties) (august just isnt romantically involved w anyone But piper) (same w felix & robin)

also fig is dating wren! however i have no current art of them :sob: he's a sweetheart printmaking major who meets fig in school. fig is a fine arts type major who minors in, like, photography, & also tries to work w as many mediums as possible. wren is kind of infatuated w them but tries to hide it bc he's... a dork. he's a dork who does NOT know how to talk to people. and takes to doodling fig in their sketchbook & making prints abt the nebulous Feelings they give him. fig is Aware of it but is Very Autistic abt it all & cant place their own feelings for a while. it all comes to a head when they're. like. hanging out together in the studio and fig just drops a description of how theyve been feeling around wren and wren is like. um. ummmm. did they just fucking. confess to me. and then it's another week before wren is like heeyyyyyyyyyy. would you. like to go on a date. and fig is like. ok :) anyways theyre very in love.

🍕 - What is their favorite food?

is coffee a food. i think robin would live off of it if she could. felix is like, the main reason she starts actually Eating Food Normally bc they wont let her drink 5 iced coffees & call it a day. but to tell u the truth ive never really thought abt her fav food! it's probably something really simple, tho, like one of her dad's pasta recipes. comfort foods to the max.

💼 - What do they do for a living?

robin works as a barista at the coffee shop below her apartment (let me have this fantasy). ive said it once and i'll say it again: robin is the epitome of coffee shop au (derogatory). she doesnt Hate it bc so much free coffee & all her coworkers are some kind of queer but shes also like. not exactly a social butterfly & if anyone's ever a jackass to her she will Not take it (let me have this fantasy also). she's llike 5' even but if anyone yells at any of her coworkers. even ones she doesnt like. she's up to bat so fast. u wanna speak to the manager? ok speak to me. ill kill you

🎹 - Do they have any hobbies?

YEAS robin likes to sew & make clothes/costumes in her spare time. zoey used to make fun of her abt it so she kind of fell off of it for a while, but when piper moved in w her & showed interest in it, robin picked it back up! didn't get fully back into it for a while, but she's out here making clothes for connect 4 as a labor of love (esp felix bc. theyre fucking huge & have trouble finding things in their size sometimes. especially in the arms). also i specify costumes bc she absolutely drags all of them 2 conventions w her in themed cosplays that, like, none of them but robin understand dvgfsdgv. she also sometimes tag-teams w ellis (august's old college roomie) bc xe's actually really into cosplay & nerd shit but can't sew. however xe CAN work w robin to add cool practical effects to costumes and as much as they bully each other . ngl their cosplays always fuck. OH ALSO robin has a tattoo gun . she gives herself tattoos sometimes. when she's feeling it. sometimes the others get in on it dsfds

🎯 -What do they do best?

bitch and moan and be a hater. fuck nasty lesbian style. etc etc

jokes aside tbh . i dont want to boil her down to "barista" but she IS, like, good at what she does. the shit she makes slaps. one of those bitches who has as many fancy coffee gadgets around the apartment as she can afford (and some she cant). no one's complaining tho bc. despite all the bitching she does. she really likes doing things 4 the people she loves and has everyones morning favs down pat

🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?

once more. bitch and moan and be a hater & fuck nasty lesbian style. dsvbhgfvbsdh. this is only half a joke tbh robin can be hypersexual & genuinely really enjoys sex so like. yeah. she loves to bone down w any mix of connect 4 and it's a blessing that there's 3 other people bc sometimes i dont think any one of them could keep up. lmao. other than that she enjoys, like, reading indie comics & also manga tbh. loves to cuddle up w felix in bed while they read bc they have sleeping trouble & she knows she helps sometimes. loves to plan dates & hangouts even if she complains the whole time. loves spending any & all time she can w her loved ones now that she lets herself Connect on an emotional level as for shit she hates 2 do. working closers @ opening back to back (happens often). not a fan of cooking. hates going to the gym but will do it to watch felix & august work out. thinks most chores are a sisyphean task that she, personally, has been burdened with (enjoys doing laundry tho). hates talking abt her feelings but gets better abt it

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

the first christmas she spent w felix was. ngl. life changing for her. even if shit broke bad shortly after :sob: (they get it worked out but it gets messy for a hot second). genuinely one of the first times she feels Loved for who she is & like she could deserve it someday. which scares the hell out of her in the moment but. despite everything she still thinks abt it fondly also. when she proposes to felix is up there. not necessarily the proposal (that was slapdash & embarrassing and she kind of wants 2 crawl into the dirt) (after weeks of planning & getting cold feet Once Already, she just drops it on felix while they're driving & they nearly crash bc thats nothing they would have ever expected robin 2 say. and robin ends up so embarrassed she nearly has a panic attack trying to backtrack bc what was she doing what was she saying this was the worst obviously youre going to say no im so sorry please ignore everything ive said in the past 5 minutes--) (felix has to pull over on the side of the road to help robin Chill)but the aftermath, when she's calmed down enough that felix is able to be like, hey, hey, baby. look at me. you can take it back if you really want but the answer would be yes either way ok? and they have a Moment and end up making out w robin sat up on the guard rail while the sun sets around them. very romantic save for all the honking they get

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

most anything involving her ex and highschool. tbh. that's all kind of a blur for her but it's not like she Wants to remember any of it. zoey has always preyed on her insecurities & kind of molded her into the bitter cunt she pictures herself as so. it's kind of all bad. she wasn't a good person when she was with zoey & she knows it & feels guilty abt it. other contenders include: when she lied to her dads abt going to college in LA (she went for a semester and dropped out) specifically to be w zoey, knowing they wouldnt have Let Her Go had they known zoey was involved (they did not like zoey). any memory involving holidays spent alone (or worse: w zoey) when she would ignore calls from her dads. another contender for worst is the memory of seeing felix for the first time after their initial break up because ough ouch oof owie that sucked shit.

🧊 - Is their current design the first one?

nope! she was originally a splatoon octoling :^] still very similar vibes tho!

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

juice & i wanted to make splat ocs that were salmon runners! her og lore is that she worked salmon run shifts over night & coffee shop shifts during the day. no time to sleep she needs to make money. now she just has the coffee shop job but she's still just as cranky and mean. FELIX HOWEVER has changed so much. i know this isn't abt felix but its still wild thinking abt just how much they've mellowed out compared to like, og felix.

🌂 - What genre do they belong in?

slice of life :^] same as august and piper. there's a post going around abt, like, coming of age stories for adults where. u know. people over 25 or whatever are finally coming into their own & if that was a Genre id absolutely smack robin into it. she grows A Lot from her 20s into her 30s. continues to grow from there, too. haven't thought too much abt, like, Older Connect 4 bc i have some Neuroses around that, but shhh

💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?

robin is cis </3 but a lesbian! <3 fsdfds (august is also cis and a lesbian. piper and felix are the partners w the genders) (piper is a trans lesbian & felix is. genderfluid? queer? has something going on. & bisexual. like. fuck men as a man, fucks women as a woman, etc) (u only technically asked abt robin but shh)

fig is (wavy hand motion) and demi :^] juice is still playing around w their gender, when i asked it was like. some variation of nonbinary or agender leaning on towards transfem. gender simply does not matter to them

🙌 - How many sibling does your OC have?

both robin and fig are only children!

robin feels Guilty abt that often bc she feels like she's kind of a fuck up and that her dads deserved a better daughter (they love her dearly and would never think she's a failure or a burden) (but robin has Neuroses)

fig is. tbh. very much a spoiled only child. theyre very sweet and kind tbh but they were (and are) Very Protected From Everything & their parents can and will do anything for them at any given moment. money is no object. they use this power for good as often as they can tho

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

ope didnt realize this was the next question dsvfgsd so. uh. oopies. i will add on that like. robins dads went the surrogacy route w her. her godmom was the gestational carrier & is pretty good friends w her dads so she shows up to family functions a lot dsfsd. ive yet to design her tho (very double income no kids lesbian aunt vibes from her) (i need to flesh her out more actually) (juice and i half designed robins dads once but didnt settle on anything. need to do that again)

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

i like that robin grows and heals w time, and even though she fucks up she still ends up happy w her friends and family. she has a support system of people who love her. despite going through deep shit & dealing w a lot of mental health issues, she's happy and safe and loved & has learned how to cope w things & is on her way to forgiving herself. she doesnt want to die anymore. she finally looks forward to the future. im normal. dont look too much into this. anyways

as for fig . my fav thing abt them is how in love w the world they are. they never get tired of how beautiful everything is, from sunsets to grass growing in cracks in the sidewalk to the patterns that gnats follow. its part of the reason they get into art tbh. they want to translate that beauty into their work. why they dabble in every medium they can. i love fig so much

✏️ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?

robin is easily my most drawn oc (followed shortly by jo, but mostly bc jo was like. my only oc for a while & they were directly connected to a special interest at the time) BUT EVEN THEN. I DONT DRAW HER ANYWHERE NEAR ENOUGH 😭😭😭 rip to all my ocs who arent my comfort characters that no one fucking Knows about because i never draw them. BIGGER rip to the OCs who dont even have toyhouse pages bc i only drew them once years ago and have since redesigned in my mind but havent drawn yet. looking @ ellis & atlas & wren & graham especially. sorry to my boys (and ellis) i just never draw guys ever :sob: (posts that made me realize its literally like. all my guy ocs - and ellis - who i havent uploaded yet 😭😭😭)

💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

lmao no absolutely not robin is going to live forever. all my ocs are immortal (<- guy who has Intense Neuroses & Anxieties revolving around death and is not in a place where he can unpack that shit yet)

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

i dont think robin has any ACTUAL phobias (like., defined ones. you know what i mean??) (like arachnophobia or agorophobia or w/e), but for the longest time she was terrified of showing anyone that she cares bc she didn't want to get used again. that's why the initial break-up? w felix happens (she admits she loves them during sex & then immediately panics and kicks felix out & runs away to her dads house for a month w/o telling anyone & purges all her socials. she's normal and makes totally rational decisions). she also has a pretty big Fear that zoey is going to dredge up old shit and start shit and make the rest of connect 4 leave her (which. like. zoey DOES try after a couple of years) (bc shes a petty motherfucker who is upset that robin's doing well) (it obviously. doesn't work) (piper writes a. quite frankly. scathing ass message to zoey) (august swears if she were a few years younger & stupider she would have gone out and started a Fight) (felix just holds her so tight) (anyways)

🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?

fig is absolutely incapable of having an arch-nemesis or rival. like. thats not something that could exist 4 them. they love everyone too much and just assume good intentions. its a problem sometimes.

also robin has several rivals tbqh. the peppy gay barista at work who is too much of a ray of sunshine. she is going to get him to crack. ellis is a rival bc xe hates everyone august has ever slept with (barring piper) (i dont think xe realizes she slept w felix though bc . those two had . a lot of risky hookups in public places i dont think they really ever boned at the apartment LMAO). august is her BIGGEST rival (said lovingly). their relationship is very (robin voice) shut up august im gonna go fuck your wife now. and august bullies her so hard. relentlessly. also full disclosure they also fuck sometimes but its specifically (i warned everyone abt sexual themes or whatever so i can say this) really rough nasty stuff bc august doesnt mind getting rougher w her and robin lives for it. lmao. very hatesex type shit where they're constantly butting heads while robin is tied to the bed. we have fun here

🎓 - How long have you had the OC?

i posted robin for the first time on sept 7 2020!! which is the same day as justice's bday which is fun. so! she'll be 4 this year :^] wild as shit tbh it still feels like she's a new oc to me.

fig also looks like they have a 2020 bday, just earlier in the year! wild!

🍥 - What age were you when you created the OC?

me sitting here like. okay how much pain am i gonna be in acknowledging how old i was in 2020. okay lets see. ok. robin was a week before my birthday which means i was. oh my god. i was 24. i wasnt even 25 yet. oh my god. ohghh my god. time comes for us all. i made robin older than me when i made her im gonna throw up. im gonna become an oyster. im gona

About the Latin Spanish dubbing of Free!

OK HEAR ME OUT

I have always loved dubbing, I think that one of the things that excites me the most when an anime or show that I like is popular is waiting for the L.A. Spanish dubbing to be announced, I have a lot of fun watching interviews with the dubbing actors and practically one of my dreams in life is to get an autograph from Mario Castañeda (the voice of Goku in Latin Spanish)

Anyways, someday I would like to make a post to express how much I love dubbing, BUT THAT WILL BE LATER BECAUSE JUST TODAY I HAVE COME TO COMPLAIN

And it is that, leaving aside how much I appreciate that dubbing it has even been considered, I will always scream on the air when I remember that there is a latino dub of Free! and to say the least, it's... not that great

Ok, I'll try to order my thoughts and make them seem logical, but the truth is that the anger that this dubbing produces in me could be just because of my own interpretation of the series and how much i'm used to the Japanese voices, so dont expect much this is mostly a rant and babbling:

First here are some reviews through the voices of our beloved main cast

Haruka : Not the best thing that could have been done, i think the best way to describe his voice is GOOD, like not great not bad just good, they managed to capture his calm tone, but he comes across as too condescending at times and lacks the necessary nuance in some comic scenes and sometimes his voice sounds too whispery so yeah, like I said: good

Rei : A voice as deep as the one they gave him might not have been the best choice, but in any case it would have worked if the way of speaking had been a little more mannered? like not so much in a way of manners (even though this also applies cuz Rei is mostly polite) more like in that dramatic tone that Rei usually uses to show off or express his love of beauty, I feel that the voice was more in "just a dude" when Rei is more like: "Im finally the star!!!"*says moments before tripping and falling with a crash*

Makoto : Strangely, I don't have much to complain about with Mako's voice, it's probably one of the best of all, soft and with a paternal tone, I think Mako's essence is very easy to capture and there is no major difficulty in interpreting it, maybe I could start complaining on how he ALWAYS sounds nice but that's something the original Makoto does too so it doesn't count. I will say that 9.8/10

Now, please excuse me if I start to get violent here but I seriously lose my temper with these last two:

Nagisa : Oh, my child, my sweet cinnamon roll, what have they done to you??? HEAR ME OUT, It's not that Nagisa's voice in the dubbing is especially horrible or anything like that, BUT, the biggest problem and one thing that can't do more than make me mad is that the voice sounds excessively forced, like I literally couldn't get through two minutes of the episode without wanting to shut up my beautiful little penguin boy's mouth PORQUE POR TODOS LOS SANTOS, I know that many people complain about the sometimes annoying voices that the characters have in the anime, but it is worse when a voice that is not annoying is made annoying. And I think the huge mistake that they made with Nagisa (and that they often make in current anime dubbing) is that they tried to imitate the Japanese voice, that is, that childish and imperactive tone that why lie i think it can only sounds truly good in japanese. The dubbing is an adaptation, not an imitation. and it is much easier and more pleasant that, despite the fact that the character does not have, let's say, "the same voice range" if they have the same emotion and a similar tone, that makes you think "hey if he was from latin america he would probably sound like that", ANYWAYS I WAS JUST SO PISSED THE MADE MY BOY SO DIRTY WHEN HE' S ACTUALLY A SWEETHEART.

Rin : Rin is (along with Haru) my favorite character and im totally bias by Mamoru Miyano's interpretation so there's no need to say that i felt half fed, all the while i felt something was missing and the performance didn't convince me at all, i don't want to say i hated it but i think it's the closest to what i feel. At first I had a lot of faith in it, really a lot, but as the series progressed I felt like the actor never got to the point. He got very close to a perfect balance in tone and then BAM pal suelo, Rin is distinguished by being passionate and having a certain tone of flirtatious disdain in his voice when challenging a rival (a.k.a Haru) and, specifically in this season, Rin's tone sounds like a lump in the throat, that voice that tries to contain and ignore the painful and frustrating feelings he's going through and to me at least, most of the time in this dub, Rin sounds more angry than frustrated and doesn't seem to convey how hurt he actually sounds in Japanese.

I will give him this, in the gate scene the part where Rin says he can't go on if he doesn't swim with haru sounds really vulnerable, but on the other hand, I think the worst I heard was, ironically and painfully, the cherry tree scene, THE CHERRY TREE SCENE, yes, exactly, the same one that is one, not to say, the most important scene in the entire season, the voice sounds I don't know if it's exactly the right term but something like grawling(? like as if he was making a lot of space inside the mouth and he swallowed his voice (sorry for that kind of expressions but I'm in a choir so they tell us to avoid "eating our voice" and, ah... at this point i dont know if i make any sense) . The thing is that the main reason why this performance really left a bad taste in my mouth is that it could have been great but it just wasn't and that's a lot more painful than just a miscast.

Ok, now that i rant individually, time to go into the big picture, read as: "The two reasons why I have a problem with this dubbing "

1. Adaptation

When I speak of "adaptation" here I am referring more than anything to the translation and interpretation of some dialogues, even tho this does not seem to be a very big problem, it can become an issue at the time of delivering the message that the series tries to leave in the viewer, not to go any further, I feel that even though they didn't get to the point that the main message of the series was lost (the importance of friendship/bonds, how much fun it is to share the joy of practicing a sport with friends and never losing sight of your path despite the obstacles you may cross). Some important points were lost based on the modification or directly the replacement of dialogues in some parts. As far as i know the dubbing was done from the script in English so basically it's more of an adaptation from English to Spanish than from Japanese itself which makes things even more difficult

For example, and again taking the scene of the gate as an example:

In this part when Haru tells Rin "don't embarrass yourself" the phrase used is "No hagas el ridículo" which, within the context of the scene, sounds perhaps more jaded than it should, sounds like Haru is saying "Please don't make a scene, it's annoying" rather than "Please, I don't want to see you hurt again" and it can give a wrong idea about what Haru thinks about Rin and the whole situation that happened between them.

2. Use of suffixes/honorific

One of the things that attracts my attention the most in anime dubbing is seeing the ways they find to replace the constants honorific that are used in Japanese, and that, well we know, can recontextualize the nature of a relationship or the dynamics in it. For example, in Inuyasha when Jaken and Rin address Sesshomaru they call him "sama" which in Spanish ends up being adapted to " Amo Sesshomaru" and "Señor Sesshomaru" respectively (honorable mention to the classic and legendary "Amo bonito") They work well and show the respect that both have him in a clear way for the viewer.

NEVERTHELESS It seems that in this case they where just lazy af to find an alternative to these suffixes, since they keep these as they are in the original, being the most marked (and annoying) example of all Nagisa's, who in the dubbing continues to use "chan" to refer to his friends (random but the way he pronounce "Haru-chan" It ends up being so close together that it sounds like he's saying "Maruchan" like the instant soup lol) and leaving aside that it sounds unorganic and too fast to fit the timing it's also completely useless if you don't know the meaning of the chan, imagine being someone new to anime and you see this in the dub, one is left wondering: ¿Por qué chuchas el rubio este dice chan chan al final de cada nombre?

Rei is another one that this affects a lot, because being as formal as he is, he keeps saying honorifics with practically everyone in the show (Haruka-senpai, Nagisa-kun, Makoto-senpai, Rin-san) and god freaking damn, the scene where Rei yells at Rin would have turned out so good, REALLY GOOD, if it wasn't for the constant "Rin-san" over and over again, seriously the voice actor was giving it his all yelling at Rin (whose voice wasn't the best but not too bad either) and having the "san" "chan" was like a pebble in the shoe.

CONCLUSION

To conclude, it's not that the dubbing is completely bad or unwise, it's simply that the care taken in the execution was perhaps not as much as I expected it to be, obviously this is not a hate post for dubbing directors and much less for dubbing actors. I'm just here ranting a little, Free! is one of the first projects that Crunchyroll dubbed so nothing to do when we compare this dubbing to the current dubbing of Chainsaw Man or Spy x Family (OH ONE DAY I WILL TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH I TOTALLY LOVE THE DUBBING OF DR.STONE)

The actors that participated in this project are really talented, for example:

Miguel Ángel Leal (the actor who voices Rin) is the voice of Draco Malfoy in "The Prisoner of Azkaban" and he does an excellent job

Bruno Coronel (the actor who voices Nagisa) is also Near in "Death Note" and the cold but childish voice he gives the character is perfect and i really like it more than the original.

I think that, more than anything, as it happens with most of the projects, they were not very aware or involved in the plot and well that always takes away the emotion in some parts because they do not have the context of the weight that the scenes have in the story, However, I am not going to say that it was all a mistake to hear because I repeat that there are parts that I really feel are good and have quality.

I think i might just being picky bc of how much I love and appreciate Free! but, yeah, here it is whatever the frick is this post.

first of all, my fucking dumbass thought it will be released tomorrow friday my time pst, but it did not. my fault for reals, and i read it while i was waiting for my car. okay i have so many comments.

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD !!!!!

so, it was really good. it was so good that i started tearing up in the end. as i am reading through it, i was like goddamn oc okay fucking boss woman HERE. like i crave for those independent badass women in fanfics because it makes me feel confident about myself and stuff, and she was a complete badass and it blew my mind.

yoongi on the other hand, i get that you know. you wrote yoongi very beautifully with a lot of flaws i may add, but he chases her throughout without even knowing. he yearns for her without even knowing. (WHY DID THIS MADE ME REMEMBER HEARTNBURN??) anyways, in the beginning, she is an independent woman who's life revolves completely around yoongi. she was the person who stood up for him and OH MY GOD, SHE WEARS THE PANTS IN THE RELATIONSHIP. her aura or vibe she gives off is "fuck you do this do that i better scare your dumbass." but she is a super incredibly friend and nice person once you get to know her.

AND OH MY GOD, REALLY YOONGI?? the ex's jacket or sweater or cardigan? i always have to pick a fight with that you know, is it just me? i would totally act the same way, especially if they are friends. like if i dont like the bitch why give me something that's hers? i dont give a fuck if they are fuckbuddies, don't give me something that's hers. that is it.

okay, what the fuck is wrong with yoongi? okay bro, your cock is hard, jerk off or something.

some parts of the story did resonate with me. "Yoongi can't stand the thought of you getting anything less than what you deserve." honestlyyyyy. these bitches making fun of her just for her watch, who gives a fuck. but apparently they do.

his watch. i searched it up. i was like hmm why does that look so familiar. my aunty has the same watch just without the diamonds. hahahah the coffee runner, what a loser. i would laugh at her. and yoongi's order for her. i started laughing so hard.

"it's just a watch" no bro, it is a fucking rolex that costs so much. only yoongi. i swearrrr, my feelings for this fic is off the roof and i am barely half way. and then the earring. WHAT MAN WOULD GIVE YOU AN EARRING?? YOONGI WOULD. GET YOURSELF A MAN WHO WILL TAKE OFF HIS EARRING AND GIVE IT TO YOU.

i have to say this. why would yoongi bring her to to his parent's house. that's just saying marry me, please. AND THE FACT THAT YOU PUT THE TITLE OF THE SONG. YOONGI, MC BETTER BE THE GIRL OF YOUR DREAMS YOU ASSHOLE. and giving up your bed for her?? awww yoongi 🥺🥺

the next part is such a big turning point. i hate hate hate how this part went down. i hate the fact that yoongi needed to call someone else to clean up his own mess. i think in this part, it wasn't the fact that he made this mess but it was sohee's fault her bag was stolen. it was her fault because it was her things. but then again, it was both of their faults for creating the sex tape in the first place.

the argument that led up to it between yoongi and the oc was needed. i think that oc had a lot of feelings that was kept in and she became a ticking time bomb. her storming out, her feeling like this, it is all justified.

SEOKJIN IS MY BIAS WRECKER. him realizing that she is just a nobody did a great deal on her. they saw each other as a regular person, which for both of them in the industry, i guess is a great deal. them having sex and that whole scene was wholesome for me and is just what she needed. the fact that seokjin continues to treat her like a person rather than a worker is what she longed for, and yoongi never gave her that. i thought that oc was a babysitter or a mother for him.

when she is done, and realized that her life doesn't and shouldn't revolve around him, she makes the best decision for herself to leave him. i get the anger in the beginning with yoongi, but he should realize that it was his fault for pushing her away.

yoongi seems to be loosing his shit, even though they aren't together. yoongi seems to be going full on crazy, even though he has no right to feel like this. yoongi led her on, and she is done with it.

yoongi may think that she is picking seokjin over him, but in reality she is picking herself. AND i think that is the best thing to learn from this. you become so fed up from something and if it keeps building up, you will explode and at a certain point, you need to put yourself first rather than others.

"i get tired taking care of you and the moment I let myself go, you won't let me?" this moment full on made my heart shake. yoongi needs to let her go. she spots the differences between yoongi and seokjin. and i am goddamn well she pointed it out.

this sneaky sneaky joonie. this scene is just so perfect.

okay ending time, i didn't mean to make this feedback very long.

yoongi if you know that you will end up with her, if you know she is the one in the end, why put her though so much shit? return, i will turn your ass back to her. i remember seeing this meme with yoongi and namjoon and they're both wearing shirts "if found, return me to namjoon" "i am namjoon" LMAOOO YES. that is what i remember.

okay i didnt really mean to make this super long, it was just really good i felt like i needed to comment on so much.

LOVE YA <3

boss woman oc we LAURRRRRRRV her <33 and omg you're right!! yoongi rlly chases, years for her without even knowing (v heartburn!jimin of him to do so) and so when y/n just completely stops and turns the whole thing around, he doesn't have a clue on what to do!! she really carries that aura 😭😭AND EXACTLYYYY i'm very stingy with things and their attached meanings ya know?? i could never detach what's associated with an item even when time's already passed so that gives me the ultimate ick ://

the watch scene really REALLYYYYY pissed yoongi off bc oc has like their monthly wage as her hourly pay lol but they're still making fun of her!!

ur aunt is thee actual boss and the coffee order??? LMAOOOO I HAD FUN WITH IT AND THIS IS WHERE I GOT IT FROM

him bringing oc home is just so so intimate and making her sleep in his childhood bedroom.... while it rains..... bc the guest bedroom is leaking....... yeah that's speaking marriage for me <3

also yes!! i personally think that y/n's anger and arguments are all v justified!! she's not angry at yoongi having sex but instead angry at the sex tape he chose to make!! all her hard work in ensuring that yoongi only gets the best would IMMEDIATELY go down the drain if everything went south!!

the scene with seokjin is rlly needed and oc genuinely felt take care of <3 ALSO YES EXACTLY!!!! oc picking herself became the very turning point of hers and yoongi's growing dynamic at the time!!

AND THE SHIRT MEME . THAT'S RLLY THEM . dw at all best friend because i love long asks so much!! THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE LOVE U

I decided to just randomly post my creepypasta here because why not.

The Silent Dr. pouf

Project- 97418320031

Dr- Alexander Pouf

Journal entry #34

Today me and my partner, Dr. Mendren used lab rat #23 and we're testing the mix #53

Lab rat was injected the affects where numerous seizures until all organs stopped function. Mix #53 was a failure and thus cannot be used as an antidote for the disease.

Journal entry #39

The lab rat #24 was used and mix #56

The rat was was injected with the mix and experienced small seizures before experiencing internal blood loss

The antidotes were making seems to be failing more and more each time. I'm worried as the disease outside is spreading, getting worse. I hope we find a cure.

Journal entry #44

Lab rat #27 mix #59

Lab rat experienced a major heart attack and bleeding

Dr. Mendren assures me that everything is fine, however I feel otherwise.

We're making no progress. All we seem to be doing is making deaths.

Journal entry #56

Lab rat #39 mix #71

I'm horrified. The lab rat was injected by Dr. Mendren and after a few minutes it became crazy. The rat clawed at its own face ripping its own eyes before devouring them. It then ran and ran, it wouldn't stop! Dr. Mendren laughed as I stared in terror. The rat ran even as its skin was becoming ripped, it ran when blood was pouring, it ran when the bones were exposed.

It Slowly died from blood loss, staying alive for a long amount of time due to adrenaline.

Dr. Mendren is a monster! I know he has been tampering with the antidotes, otherwise things wouldn't be like this!

Journal entry #57

I decided I will come to the lab late at night, I intend to catch Dr. Mendren in the act and confront him of this horrific crime he is doing.

I must hide in a place and wait.

I sit silently in a corner where boxes are piled, waiting for Mendren to show up and tamper with the mixes. The rats shifting within their cages makes me more anxious, you'd think a noise you're so familiar with wouldnt bug you, yet it still does. It smells damp next to the cages, all the tails shifting, the room devoid of light. It's like a whole new room than what I'm used to. My heart is beating so fast, I've never been so scared. I feel as though I've made a mistake and I feel tears threatening to slip from my eyes. My breath seems so loud! I have to admit to myself that I am very much afraid.

*click*

There's no going back now, I'm trapped within this room now that he has arrived. I shift in place and sigh, ready to jump up and confront him. Hes mumbling, if only I could hear what hes saying... mendren starts writing inside a journal of his while smirking, I dont like that look of his. It fills me with an uneasy feeling as though doom lurks around a corner.

Hes messing with chemicals now and I jump up to confront him, shakily I speak in a loud voice.

MENDREN WHAT ON EARTH HAVE YOU BEEN DOING!

Mendren jumps but starts laughing as I frown confused and concerned.

What on earth is pouf doing? Hiding in a corner like a child as if to confront me of stealing cookies from a jar? I'm impressed he even had the courage to sit there, hes always been such a coward. Hes taller than me but hes a twig, does he really think he could stop me from doing anything, so what if I have a little fun with some rats and chemicals.

I stop laughing and step towards him.

*Tsk, tsk, tsk*

Pouf? ~ What on earth are you accusing me of?~ youve known me since collage, do you really think I'm some criminal? Thats very upsetting to me that you'd think such a thing.

I, you- the mixes have been getting worse and worse, the rats are suffering! They mutilate themselves, youre the only one who could possibly be messing with our work! And you being here just proves it! What do you hope to do with all this!

I feel my face contort into grimace. I need to get rid of him, I'm not done playing just yet.

Dr mendren appears to slowly grow cold, I step back with each step he takes forward eventually bumping into the cages, feeling a few rats claw a little against my back.

M..Mendren? Heh heh, what are...... I trail off as he grabs a thick wire from a table, my eyes growing wide.

I stumble trying to rush past him to get to the door. I choke as he quickly loops the wire over my head tugging me back, slicing my neck as he laughs. He wraps the wire tightly around my neck, slicing it all around, it stings! I can't breathe! Blood, my blood is spilling from me. Tears flow from my eyes as I continuously gag trying to speak! Trying to ask why!? he gets annoyed and grabs a thick sewing needle and scissors. Cutting the wire and pushing me down, he furiously sews into my mouth, silencing me as my vision fades. I do not wish for him to be the last thing I see, so I turn my gaze upon the cages. I look upon the rats and think for the last time, I'm sorry.........

I sigh looking at what I've done, I feel nothing as I gaze upon his corpse, his long orange hair and white coat smeared with blood, his hands bloody and bruised from trying to pull away the wire. I just stare and turn away to get a saw from the construction lab and a bag from the kitchen.

I get back and start to cut him up so that hell fit, the vibrating from the saw against bones aggravates me, but I complete the job and take the bag to my car after Ive finished cleaning.

I drive through the city and dump the bag into the ocean without a care. I have no regrets, and I do not morn...................

I continue doing what I have been like usual, everyone assumes poufs sick and just forgot to call in. It wouldnt be the first time so nobody's concerned they wouldnt even notice if he was gone for a week without calling in.

I continue working late into the night without a care. It becomes night and I'm slightly tired, so I sit to write a few logs into my journal.

Lights flicker a bit but I dont mind, that is until they all turn off and I'm left in the dark. I stumble blindly to the switch for the backup lights. I flick the switch and the dim red lights flicker on. I grow confused as I hear the rats squeaking and skittering around, I jump as one scurries onto my foot. I quickly kick it away with disgust and turn away only to see almost all the cages everywhere, rats roaming about the room freely.

I freeze in place as I see pouf standing with his back to me, opening a cage. He slowly turns to me, I stare into his eyes, one a monochrome swirl and the other containing nothing at all, as if it's nothing but a void. Rats swarm next to his legs, even dead ones appear in the mix, entrails dragging along and empty red eyes. Pouf doesnt speak, his mouth is still sewn and his neck still gashed, bruises along the marks. His skin is pale and slightly purple like any corpse, and no signs of saw marks. He walks towards me with a sad look as he tilts his head, I scream and run. Before I reach the door I'm covered in rats, they bite and claw. I'm dragged down as they start to tear my flesh away and burrow into me as I lay trapped. I scream and beg for poufs help, but he just watches. My vision is almost covered by rats, and I'm tired, before I go away, I see pouf turn. And he walks away, and so do the rats. And everything turns into nothing..........

Mendren was found shredded and the rats were gone in the morning, Pouf was never found.

Girly pt.1

Requested by @nctobsessedhours I hope you enjoy. 🌹

"I see that bite mark on your neck Taemin. You might wanna be careful, the girls will go rabid." Kai smirked back in the corner at your comment, a faint purple patch flashing behind the collar of his shirt. "I see yours too, Kai. Cover that up jeez! Can't you guys go 2 days without trying to eat eachother?"

"No," they said simultaneously. It's like they were trying to get caught. You, Taeyong, Taemin and Kai were all in the dressing room before SuperM's concert. The boys were supposed to be getting ready but instead, Thing 1 and Thing 2 decided to sneak off and suck face causing the other members to go look for them. Leaving you with Tae until they returned.

"Where is everyone else," Wondered Kai.

"Looking for you two. You're supposed to be done with your makeup by now but nooooo. You had to ruin my hard work!"Everyone let out a laugh at that. You wished you could say that you stayed angry but Taeyong's voice made that impossible.

"Come on, y/n. It's not Kai's fault that Taemin is a slut and it's not Taemin's that Kai can't keep it in his pants"

"Yah!" Taemin came forward, his shakey voice failing to cover his embarrassment. Which was made obvious by the blood filling his face. "Dont speak to your elders in that way!"

Kai chimed in. "Besides, it's not like Taeyong doesn't do the same to you. We see the hickies on his neck so dont pretend he's not just as bad. Taeyong's face now matched Taemin's, the rosey hue creeping down his neck to his chest. Poor boy. Let's tease him a little. You knew it was cruel but he practically begged for it with such a cute face.

"Actually it's more the opposite. Tae is the submissive and actually . . . he behaves pretty girly."

All 3 of them were startled at that. A horde of makeup crashed onto the floor and Taeyong turned from his station, with a shocked and, frankly, angry expression.

"I'm not girly!" The red lipstick he clutched paired with the stain on his lips did not enforce his statement.

"Sure you are Tae. No need to be ashamed, I love the way you whimper when you suck my nipples." Roars of laughter erupted from the the hallway. The other boys finally returned from their search. Each one bore a grin and Lucas even had tears in his eyes.

"Ahh man, that's fantastic. Who knew our fierce leader was such a baby?" More laughter. Your poor baby wasn't amused sadly. The pinkish tone of embarrassment turned a hot red as his ire reached a head.

"YAH! Shut up!" The sheer volume of laughter drown out his protest. It was all in good fun and the fun was yours. You just couldn't help it. You poke and poke and poke at this man. Why? Why was it so satisfying. The howling was cut off by a staff member. You could see into the hallway behind him at the copious amounts of assistants running around to a backdrop of screaming women.

"20 minutes guys. Please finish up." Everyone was making final tweaks to outfits and makeup and hair. Taeyong spent the 20 minutes glaring at you while he deepend his lipstick. The boys were ushered out of the room, all of them saying goodbye to you and you wished them luck. All except Taeyong. He didn't look at you. Someone is sulking

The concert was bomb just as expected. You watched from behind the stage, dancing to every song and shrieking out your adoration along with the crowd. No Manners started up and the boys got into their positions. It was the last group song before boys' solos then ending with the title song. You watched Taeyong as he performed the choreo. Every move was just so smooth and practiced, his stage presence commanding attention. Major dom energy so unlike the mewling kitten that occupied your bed at night. He broke off from the dance and each member strayed onto different parts of the stage. He followed behind Ten, pulling the shorter dancer closer to him. Intimately close. A hand behind Ten's head with fingers in his hair. Their faces were so close it was almost as if they were kissing. Even in this, you could catch the glint of his eyes as he flashed his gaze at you. He was showing off. The song was approaching Tae's part as he moved backward towards center stage, facing you. He got down on his knees and grinded against the stage, the bright lights flooding his profile into a white silhouette. The only thing visible was his gaze and the red of his lips, his teeth shining in a near snarl.

Such a exhibition was childish and yet watching him display his anger, grating his hips to the beat and a feral smile of red amid his sharp face. He was anything but a child. The song finally came to a close and all the boys save Lucas exited the stage, the bass booming with his solo. Before you could comment on his little show Taeyong seized your wrist (why always the wrist?)and ripped you away from the group.

"Taeyong! What are you doing? That hurts!" If he heard your protests he didn't show it. In fact his grip became that much tighter. If either of you had been paying attention you would've noticed the 2 figures trailing behind you.

Coming to an empty hallway he pulled you into the first room, closing and locking it behind him. You stood in the middle of the space watching his shoulders heave, his head down, facing the door. You couldn't help the twinges of heat you felt at the sight of his aggression. He almost looked . . . violent. His grip on you was. "Taeyong?" Your chest almost hurt for your hammering heart.

He spun around and came at you. You stumbled back, every step of yours overtaken by his. Pinning you back against the wall opposite the door, the hard lines of his body crushed you into the cold surface. He towered over you so much that you had to look straight up to meet his gaze. Not that you had that much courage. No. Instead you coward away, pressing yourself into the wall trying to create space where there was none.

"Look at me." His voice was guttural, but nearly silent. You know when you get so made that you can't even speak? That's what this voice was. It made you shiver against him reguardless of the heated anger pouring from him. A heat that reached other places. Places that violence shouldn't reach. "Look at me." You couldn't. For the first time you felt small. You felt vulnerable. You felt weak. And you loved it.

His nails scraped your flesh when he wrenched your head back by the roots of your hair. "FUCKING LOOK AT ME!" A sobbing moan broke from you as you shook in his grip. Eyes screwed shut, you waited for . . . something. A decider. Something to tell you what was happening. You felt his nails once more as he gripped your jaw, his long thin fingers so much stronger than you thought. He was so much stronger than you thought. The bluntness of his clenched teeth grazed your cheek as he spoke. "You think I'm weak? You think I'm a fucking girl? Huh? You do don't you?" He stepped back, holding you to the wall with a hand on your throat. With his head tilted, his big eyes, usually soft, now piercing blinking down at you with sweat dipping from his face. He looked like an animal.

A breath rushed out as he turned his face away. His profile burned into your mind. Releasing you, he brought his hands to the hem of his shirt. "I'll show you just how "girly" I am. When I'm done you're gonna wish I was." He pulled his shirt over his head and stood there in the low light. The sweat misted over his skin, veins making a map, pulsing with his blood.

Pushing you to your knees, he brought you level with his zipper. Undoing himself, he pulled out his cock, growling at the feel of being free. "You see this cock baby? How girly is it?" The words came with a laugh. But it wasn't joy that filled him. He tugged your head forward to rub his dick across your lips, gripping your hair. "Choke on me." With that he sunk back into your throat, laughing at you as you did exactly as he told. Trying to breath only brought another wave of choked coughs as you struggled to take him in. His veins pulsing against your tongue.

Outside 2 figures stood wrapped in attention. Taemin had wanted to step in when they had heard Taeyong shout but Kai had stopped him. "He's not gonna hurt her. He just needs a good fuck to help his pride. Trust me, she'll enjoy it just as much as he will." But as the minutes ticked by they both began to feel the heat of Taeyong's words. So much so that Taemin began to squirm at the vulgarity. It didn't help that Kai's dick was pressing against his ass. He couldn't stop himself from pressing back into the hardness. A hand clasped onto his hip, preventing further pressure.

"If you do that again I will fuck you against the door and I don't care who catches us." Kai was standing over him now, chest pressed into his back.

Gency week 6

Day 4: Storm

Pic-Fic combo

IM NOT A WRITER. I only did this for fun.

Heads up: Language, Angst

Storm

Late one stormy night, Blackwatch's agent have newly returned from their recent mission.

Gabe meets up with Jack to give the mission report. Moira quickly scrambles to reach her bunnies at the lab. Mccree getting patched up from the fight. Genji all battered and bruised walked straight to Mercy's lab neglecting anyone who wished to speak to him.

Upon reaching his destination, he's surprissed to see the doctor has done quite a big mess all by herself.

Papers all over the table, few empty mugs, a spilled mug of coffee on the floor, her schedule board covered in pinned notes on every corner and the doctor who dozed-off, head down on the table.

Genji never expected to see Angela this messy.

He slowly walks over to her then suddenly a bright streak of lightning lights the room and a loud thunder broke the silence and woken her right up. Screaming.

She calms down to see Genji just as worn-out as she is. Gaining her senses back she rushes over to him.

"Genji, what happened to you?!"

"..."

"Forget it..." she then let's out a big sigh. "Let's get you fixed up."

After moments of twinking and fixing his cybernetic components she aids his human side. Both remained quite, enough to hear the aggresive raindrops hitting the glass window. They are alone.

"Genji..." says Angela, rubbing his arm with cloth. He looks up to see her face.

"Why are you like this?"

Genji, baffled on what she said, reajusts himself.

"Why do keep coming to me with more work to do?"she continues.

Genji, still tired from the mission begins to mumble.

"What is it? Just tell me." she says now raising her voice.

"This!... Im ruined..." Genji responds.

"hah. Really? You do remember this was yo-"

"No!" Genji interrupts her.

"This is your doing! My brother wanted me dead and yet you brought me back to life! You have may returned my breath but I am not who I used to be anymore all because of you." Genji now yelling at her.

"B-but... your now bette-"

"No I'm not!"

Silence fills the room once more...

Angela now with tears running down her pink tinted face. Genji sees this.

"You know you wouldn't have been going through this if you have just left me for dead" Genji said knowing the impact it had on her.

"You don't even have any idea what im going through everyday so I dont expect you to understand." said Genji "...and to think you were sma-"

"OH SHUT THE FUCK UP!" yelled Angela who's now taken so much of it has had enough. Lightning strikes as if she controlled the weather.

"Your right. I don't have an idea what you're going through but YOU don't know what I'm going through either." said Angela, gesturing extensively. "Yeah sure you're going through shit but so am I! Look around you, my lab is a mess, I have so much work to do and I still have to fix YOU!"

She's never shown this side if her ever. It's always been that caring, strong, and encouraging side. No one were to ever expect her snap before especially at Genji.

Genji triggered by what she said responds:

"I'm the one going around fighting villians while you just sit around here and all you do to me is made me worse by giving me this garbage on my body! I can't even identify who I am anymore, so there no way your life is as rough as mine!"

"Your right... very right..." a tear goes down her face."My life can't be as terrible as yours..."

"See i told-"

"MINES MORE FUCKING HORRENDOUS!" yelled Angela, bursting in tears, desisting Genji to talk. "You're the patient I have to attend to and I'm the doctor who has to go through lots of bat-shit just tend to her patient who hasn't been thankful at all for bringing back his life and giving him an oppurtunity to change!" As she said this more and more tears kept running down. She continues.

Genji froze their thinking of how stupid he was, reflecting on all the unacceptable deeds he has done towards her. His mind was lost in her words.

Angela's affronting and Genji regains his senses after hearing a large thud coming from outside the lab's door. Both straighten up and fix themselves looking at other places. She goes to the door and opens it to find nothing out of the ordinary.

"I hope to see you this friday for your weekly maintanence." turning off the lights and walking out then running to her personal quarters. Sobbing.

Genji walks out and closes the door then procceeds to the lobby to see every major agent suspiciously there even though there wasn't a scheduled meeting. He sits down with his friend Mccree now patched up.

"Wow that must've have been hard for you and Dr. Ziegler." said Jessie

"Yeah it wa- WAIT!" replied Genji. "HOW DID YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAB?!"

"JESSIE!!" yelled every agent.

~END~

Tell me what you think of the fic or pic.

[xhold-on-tightstay-stongx]

I have another rant... sorry

So... I have been off my meds for a while... and it's been causing problems between me and my family... I'm not off of them by choice... I lost my insurance and have been having problems with the insurance company. So anyways, I baby sit some little kids that live next door to me and I do it so I can have some extra money and be an overall good person and maybe even be a good mom someday... but, the thing is, my mom and I have been doing nothing but fight the last few days and I often find myself wondering if it's because I haven't had all the medications that keep my brain functioning like a normal persons... even more, I know that it in all reality is my fault we're fighting so much. I spend a lot of time on my phone and doing stuff for other people that it's like I dont do anything for my mom. But I would do anything for her if she wanted me... I dont know if I am intentionally trying to build up walls around myself to make it less painful for when I leave or if I am trying to distance myself because I don't want her to see how shitty I've been doing lately. I love her with my whole heart that every time we fight I end up crying and thinking she hates me... which I know isnt true and I know that she loves me and supports whatever I do in my life. But we still fight and argue and everything is a mess because I cant function like a normal adult because I can't control my moods or emotions or stay focused on something. And that's the major problem for me... I get distracted and then I end up going into my own little world of whatever and forget what I'm supposed to be doing. I try to be a good daughter... I've been trying to be better than I was yesterday for the last 5 years. Some days I'm good at it... some days I utterly suck at it... I've only had one big achievement in my life and that was getting past the ideation and the self harm and made it to the next day. All my other achievements were pretty minor... I graduated on time... I started college... I turn 20 tomorrow... but honestly... what I really want is to be able to make my mom happy and it not be a constant fight between her and I anymore. I dont like fighting with her and I don't like knowing that it could have been avoided if I was just able to function normally. I would love for a day where it could be just me and my mom without her feeling bad or me feeling bad and for us to get along and for us to have fun together again... I miss being able to go do things with her and not stressing out about if things got done at home or if my dad will be in a bad mood when he gets home or anything like that. I want to be able to have my mom back to where we used to be... before I was fucked up and had to rely on my medications to make me feel normal and for me to feel like I wasn't on the edge of a mental explosion constantly or waiting for something to go horribly wrong. I miss the days when things weren't bad and when it was ok for us to argue about something and then we would make up with an "I'm sorry" and a hug. Now any more it's an "I'm sorry" and it gets twisted around into something even worse than before.

I know it sounds prolly stupid to alot of people and like an excuse for my actions and why I've been such a shitty person and lousy daughter but I have been dealing with Bi-polar type 2 for the last 5 years, anxiety, different forms of depression, insomnia and, constant migraines, I was also diagnosed with ADHD at 12 and have been on medications for all of this since the diagnosis. 5 years ago, I wanted to kill myself it was for reasons that I don't want to get into at the moment. I spent a week in the hospital getting the help I needed and my mom was always right there with me saying that we would get through it together. And we have, but lately it's just felt like she's tired of my shit... I try and get things done for her, but I either don't do it right or I start one thing then move to another then another and then another and one project never gets finished before another one starts or I get distracted by something and I forget to do what she asked...

I know that she feels under appreciated and like she does nothing but clean, but without her being the amazing woman she is I would never have gotten as far as I am now and I wish she would understand that.

I feel like such a horrible daughter because I can never do things the right way or I inevitably start a fight for something minor. And I was even told by one of my doctors that I tend to lash out at the people I care most about and trust the most as a defense mechanism and because I know that they wont leave me for it... but I still feel like I am the one who is the problem when I have little control over things that I do...

I hope people reading this will understand that I am not just some entitled little brat that is bitching because her mommy yelled at her.

I am writing this because I need to get what is eating at me out and hopefully someone will care enough to check in on me but if not that's ok too.

I also want people to understand something. I've almost lost my mom 4 different times. The first time was the night my little sister was born... my mother almost died that night along with my sister. She was in an accident and was taken to the hospital by ambulance and was really hurt for along time. Third time was an accident that should have killed her, it is a honest miracle that I still have her to this day. She was rear eneded at 55mph while she was at a dead stop and she suffered from head trauma amongst other things. The fourth was right after she was in the last accident. She had a severe allergic reaction to the nerve pain medication that they gave her. I said that I wouldn't be as strong as I was or where I am in my life without her. And that's why.

I am a total mommy's girl. And I can't imagine a world without her in it.

I wish she knew that though. I wish she knew that she is my entire world and my heart stops every time I hear sirens and that she is my hero. My mom is my best friend and the woman I look up to most in the world and some day I hope to be just like her. Strong and resilient. She's been my rock when my world was being swept away and she held my hand and told me that everything was going to be ok when I wanted to die. I wish she could see the amazing woman I see when I see her.

I know that this rant was a bit all over the place but I really needed to get everything out...

Episode 2 - "I DON'T WANT THE MYSTERY MOUSE-CA-TOOL BESTIE" - Ellie

At the tribal, Ping was voted out of the Pendragon Tribe nearly unamimously. Tribal immunity for this round is Pictionary.

I bet all these bitches know i voted for Keith and now they are going to come kill me in my sleep if i die i blame dylan

yass round 2 i either think im in the best position on this tribe or theyre all secretly coming for me thats all

Tribal went as well as I expected it to go. No major drama. It seems like Keith is in real trouble if we do go to tribal again though which would put me in a very tricky spot. For now, though, I will be trying my best in the upcoming challenge. The problem is, however, timezones and schedules. Jon is going to be our drawer, but he can only do it tonight or in the early afternoon tomorrow which I will not be there for. Additionally, Keith is asleep so we have no idea what his schedule is going to be so we basically had to schedule the challenge without him. And Nya could only do right before the deadline tomorrow which Jon cannot do. I hate this for us, truly. I just hope that Moth and I can rub our brain cells together for this one so that we can pull out a win. OR somehow the other tribes fail horribly. On the bright side, I am finally starting to catch up on Duolingo exercises. They're a lot easier than I thought, but it is still going to be tedious af to save up enough coins for some of the higher end products at the shop. As a final note, I am going to work with Nya in the long term as we promised each other to. Hopefully that actually works out. Time to actually be loyal and be a hero this time around. Need to try something different.

If we lose this challenge, I will be very upset. We went so hard on this challenge!!! I believe that we can at least get second place, but I don't know how crazy the other tribes are. So, let's see what goes on

Ayyyyy soooooooo looks like the four, Colin, me, Ava, and Brayden are officially in an alliance!? I’m really hyped to be working with everybody and already have sights on who should go if we have to go to tribal 👀 but like I’m gonna feel so bad if we go to tribal and I orchestrate a whole plan to take someone out I gotta do it when I’m not in my feels and the planets aren’t fucking with my emotions too heavy. But go alliance ! This means I’ll be able to stay safe until hopefully a merge and hopefully we can avoid a tribe swap till then which I get those vibe from it !! But I’ll be here to survive two more tribals just in case which is pretty rad. Other then that hopefully me offering to draw doesn’t end us up in the bottom and we can keep killing ! But anyways that is it as off know hopefully I have a lot more coins tomorrow morning and I get hit the hat shop bright and motherfucking early.

Just got asked to be apart of an alliance <33333 the besties in the group trust me which maybe ain't the right move but for now we gotta love the bonding. exciting!!!

YAY FOR ROUND 2! Okay, so I meet once again with the Hat Shop and... third times the charm! Except,,, the charm is getting nothing AGAIN lmao I'm not complaining though, still got that extra vote :P I stayed up at 1 AM for this challenge, and I honestly think our team popped off. Anastasia was guessing a ton, and Riley was amazing at drawing real quick! I have a relatively good feeling about our performance, so I hope I wake up to the news of our tribe being immune :D

so yesterday I set myself on a mission to get an alliance. I wanted Ava + Brayden + Toph + me as a majority alliance. it was our day off from tribal so I thought it was the perfect day to do it!! I talked to Brayden about it first because he's the person I feel the most comfortable with, and then after a lot of coordination and careful communication I was able to pull it together!! I think the most important thing when making alliances is making everyone feel like they're a big part in it. So I was careful to ask each person how they feel about the others, about the game, and made a point to say that I wanted to work with them specifically. Some may call that a little manipulative, but I wanna make sure that I'm an essential part of the alliance!! i need everyone to feel like they need/want me there.

all of this happening so soon into the game is a testament to how aggressive I'm playing this time around. I usually like to lay low and just rely solely on my social game in the start, but I'm trying this out to establish myself early on! I wanted to play the tribe leader and I think I'm doing that in a smart and subtle way!!

so yes now we have a 4 person majority alliance named "duolingo owl hate club" because fuck that guy. I think we're the 4 most active and present people on the tribe so it's only natural for us to work together, but I think it's definitely worth noting that I was the one that was pulling the strings here.

We just did the pictionary challenge, I have a good feeling about it!! Toph was an amazing artist, and if we win, all credit rightfully goes to him!! I think the guessers also did great of course, but like come on, the artist has to be the mvp. I'm really hoping we pull through!! I don't mind going to tribal, but I genuinely don't wanna vote anyone out yet. I'm fine just playing the game in a precautionary way. I know I'm in a great position if we do go to tribal, but it's always preferred that we don't go.

Everyone else on my tribe: doing the challenge and kicking ass

Me: I’m sleep

Riley (Tumblr has once again chosen violence so only the first 10 get banners 🥲)

I think our challenge went pretty well! My team were good guessers. Feeling like I've established some Integrity now. Hope it keeps me safe later!

Toph Soooooo we finished the challenge with 32 points and like wig !! I was a quick as drawer for 32pts expect when my internet lagged, but still ! I think we whooped some ass and if we do go to tribal I know it won’t be me going, thanks to Duolingo owl hate club but I’m also worried same could have and advantage because they seem pretty kean on learning a lot in like 3 hours and then tried to cover that statement to not seem so threatening but like babs s a huge threat too apparently they love Duolingo and know 5 laugnes ? This is from brayden but If so go babs ! That’s absolutely iconic for real Life but fucking scary in this game ! I gotta be buddy buddy with them so hopefully if they do have something it won’t be them going home first and it will be Ava. But I’m thinking we might get second place again unless someone is a fucking wizard at this.

Dennis hmm i think we did well enough in the challenge to not see tribal tomorrow but who knows i guess we shall find out tn

the way ellie was so on top of stuff yesterday only to oversleep the challenge makes me giggle maybe shes freaking out about it which makes me also giggle but i dont think its really a big deal

anastasia asked me to call yesterday and i was like sure lets talk but it is damn near impossible to hold a conversation with her idk i tried BUT she did tell me “yeah i just got off a call with ellie” im like i see. she says shes down to work with ellie but that quickly switched from ellie being ~experienced~ but good to know ellie is also playing hard. anastasia also mentioned that she talks to riley a fair amount who i still have yet to connect to well. but dat makes me think ellie is def talking to riley too miss debate team is definitely a talker. but good on her for the social game i guess

kenneth keeps being like haha we’re the same person and im like yeah👁 i bet we are👁

i just wanna win and not think about tribal just keep it slow and chill for now keep learnin my welsh i guess

Ava Second challenge was Pictionary and I had a ton of fun playing. The tea is: toph did a great job. He was pretty vocal about not being a great artist but really I think he did great. However, Babs was super inactive yesterday and ~too late~ said they were a great artist and should've been picked to draw. It was kind of like.... k babs thanks for the belated "help". They did do great guessing which scored a point in my book. Brayden was supposed to play but last minute logged off without saying anything so we did the challenge without him :/ sorta a bummer. Anyway the lack of participation from Sam is kind of popping off so we'll see where that leads them... Overall a fun game and fingers crossed we did well!

Moth I think we did okay at the challenge. Today I am dying from the heatwave so I’m not thinking too straight! Stay cool everyone

Ellie So yesterday Anastasia and I called for about an hour!!! I’d say we’re definitely way closer, she’s someone I really wanna work with although the idea of her and Brayden eventually being on the same tribe is kinda scary cause I know how close they are. Still she’s so fun to talk to and I just love her energy so much!

Pictionary challenge results: Jenkins Tribe wins with Penadragon second, Hatter Tribe has to go to tribal council on the following day.

Ava Well well well seems our bob ross, toph, didn't pull through (y'all think babs would've pulled it out for us or slept through our challenge like they said they almost did?) I can't wait for tribal. I'm in it for the drama. I'm hashtag voting Sam off - didn't even bother to be apart of our challenge and not too sure they've even been online for a full 24 hours. Weed out the weak.....

Anastasia

guys i dont know what to do someone help me out

Dennis i hope damn brayden gets the boot

Raffy Woo! We don't have to go to tribal again! We stan!

Ellie So I figured I’d go idol hunting today cause the shop was about to close and I just wanted to see what had been bought and what possible hats there were, I see that there’s a hat I have enough for that hasn’t been bought and I decide fuck it let’s get it

APPARENTLY ITS SOMETHING THAT IM NOT ALLOWED TO KNOW WHAT IT IS OR HOW TO USE IT YET???? THEY SAID ILL FIND OUT ABOUT IT LATER

I DONT WANT THE MYSTERY MOUSE-CA-TOOL BESTIE

Sam Well you see. I like all my tribe people. And I think we did real good on that music video! So, I think rather than voting anyone else off, I think I should just vote myself off if that is possible! Ahhh

Babs So sad to see Sam not only go but go through what they're going through :( same w Toph :( they all seem so lovely

Keith Not sure if i submitted a confession after the last tribal. But if I didnt here it is.

Happy I made it out of that tribal. I had raffy backing me with whom I played. Last time we played. We were at odds. We didnt work together but whats worse that we were against each other. It was either him or me goin out. Hopefully thats the past n we can work together. I jus need to keep things calm n show that Im not here itching to make big moves. So they dont feel threatened by me. N its easy cause right now. I havnt made that kind og bond with anyone on my tribe. To even think of such moves. Lets see what round two holds for me.

Colin so uh

we lost! :(

I was really bummed tbh. Like I thought we did well but circumstances with the challenge were just really unfortunate, from conflict about who wanted to be the artist to people disappearing the moment the challenge started, I think we did well despite all of that. Except we did kinda get stomped anyway. Oh well!! The game moves on. Tribal has to happen.

Initially I was gonna push for Babs, just because I feel like I don't wanna attach myself to them too early on. I've seen how much of a bitter player they can be, and lets just say I'm not the most loyal ally to have. however! 9 minutes after we lost, Ava announces to our alliance that she's voting Sam. I wasn't surprised, Sam has been the one not really pulling their weight. But I had some good connections with her!! we both did colorguard and shes so sweet and easy to talk to. I was really conflicted for a little bit, debating on whether or not to actually push for Babs. I think brayden sensed my hesitance but we both knew there was nothing really I could do to stop Sam from being the vote. At first tribal, the initial name always spreads like wildfire.

However, my mess was stopped abruptly by Sam asking to be voted out. welp!! okay then!! babs stays i guess!! i'm not too bothered. I'll never turn down an easy vote hehe.

Pretty sure there's a swap tonight. I'm kinda scared of that

uwu

Brayden

i almost forgot to upload this but dont worry i just remembered

Colin screams

Toph So we’re going to tribal in 20 and all I have to say right now is if there is a tribe swap after I’m gonna so scared but I ducking called I had a vibe and it was right that’s what is gonna win me this game trusting my intuition. I’m holding on now and gonna be the biggest comp beast next challenge in case I get fucked on this swap !!!! Or at least if it is a swap 🤔

Riley I don't know what this announcement's gonna be I'm worriedddd... Ginny said it probably means we're swapping teams but I don't wannaaaa I like our team.

Toph Sam self sacrificing made this the easiest vote ever and me being safe is a plus I guess 😎

[ohoshi]

okay so tbh i have only revealed my kpop love to select people in my life IRL...buuuut im working on being more open about it bc these boys give me so much laughter and joy and it's good to be excited about things!! yesterday my mom discovered kpop and i came running into her room to be like omg let me show you MY FAV GROUP NCT. she didnt seem to vibe with the songs i showed her but honestly i get that cuz sometimes for me, i listen to an NCT song and im like ehhh but then i keep listening and im like wait this song is actually so good (this has happened with kick it, limitless, maw, work it...to name a few)

omg also yes i am familiar with tsundere and anime terminology!! i do watch anime - not as much as i used to, but i still enjoy a good anime :)) some of my favs are hunterxhunter, toradora, fmab, my hero academia, anohana...wow how many am i gonna name, anyway if you dont watch a lot of anime pls feel free to disregard this paragraph and we can continue talking about kpop lmao

HAHA i love that yes taeil go pursue your dreams (winwin) i support you 💕wait i also love that rj just says stuff straightforwardly!! like i think on some show (was it weekly idol?) he literally said, yea the company wants me to have an innocent image (but i'm not)...and i think one time a saseang fan called jeno during a vlive and rj literally took the phone immediately and was like can you stop calling...go renjun! but yea i feel like during their awsaz ep doyoung was kinda scared cuz hes kinda soft lmao (not a bad thing) but i loved the chaos in their eps!!

i liked awsaz!! for me, some eps were definitely funnier than others lol but i really like the concept and it's something only nct can do! the jaehyun/jisung ep was prob my second favorite even tho i cringed a lot but in the best way possible. i would LOVE to see them continue doing awsaz with wayv members!! like the ep with winwin/jisung (and henderey/haechan hosts) was so great!! also lmao jisung is just awkward with everybody, they could literally make a whole awsaz show with just jisung 😂 (also a side note: i love how he is still the maknae even after sungchan/shotaro joined haha he will always be our NCT baby 🥺)

as for what i didnt like...dont hate me but some of the missions were a little...slow for me? like in some eps when they just take the selfies and decorate it in the book i kinda skimmed those parts 😅 i think it would be cool if they had more missions that require them to actually do things with each other (i guess kinda like icebreakers lmao even tho i personally hate icebreakers) - like in the winwin/js episode, they involved the hosts and had them do some drawing thing that was funny. but actually i guess it also depends who the hosts are, i feel like some host combinations are funnier (whether bc of their chemistry with the participants or each other) so maybe that can't really be controlled

oooh wait one of my close friends is also a taurus!! love that haha (i dont rly take horoscopes super seriously (even tho i do think im kinda a virgo) but theyre interesting to look at)

i have some svt songs in my kpop playlist (i love hug (it’s so calming) and also my my)!! i think i kinda looked into them back in like 2016 but i wasnt rly a kpop fan back then, i will check them out now cuz i love me a talented and chaotic kpop group :))

p.s. for my ss gift hehe do you have any specific things you'd want me to gif? otherwise i will do something based on our conversations (which i think makes it mildly obvious who i'm gonna gif)!! also pls forgive me my giffing skills could be better but i try my best and they are 100% certified made with love 💖

ohh i understand that! my irl friends judge me for loving kpop so much (not all of them) but, frankly, i couldn’t care less because there’s nothing wrong with loving kpop so  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ my mom, however, puts up with me and my kpop obsession very well tbh she does pay attention when i show her their stages and songs and even some funny content~ and so far she loves jaehyun, minghao(svt) and jisoo(bp) the most (all 3 for their visuals lmaoo) dhagfdshgad as far as the music goes, she reeeeeally loves from home 🥺 (tho i really love those overproduced hype songs, so for me it’s not hard to vibe with them right from the start lmao and esp kick it and maw those were love at first sight! here’s a funny story related to kick it: as you already know i’m a dancer and bc i immediately fell in love w kick it i learned the whole choreo for that song, usually i only know chorus or the dance points, and my mother watched me and she said i was really good i could fit well in 127 ghdafgds ahhh what an ego boost thanks mom everyone should have you as their mom tbh)

no way!!! you love anime!! aaa i’m excited now!!! when i was younger i watched a lot of anime and i mean a LOT; i’ve seen everything you listed here! lmao not my proudest moment... i also really love hxh!!!! i also remember loving code geass, tengen toppa gurren lagann, neon genesis evangelion and even the gundam series (i’m a simple person i see mecha and i fall in love immediately lmao even my fav cartoon of all time is the one i watched when i was like 5-7?? it was a korean manhwa, hamos the green chariot, which is also about the big robots djahsd)  + all the shoujos lmao (nana best shoujo ever) i also really loved kuroko no basuke and fairy tail????? and all the popular ones (ie naruto, bleach, pokemon etc)

ohh i know that moment when he called the sasaeng out for bothering jeno hgafdagjdgah ICONIC we stan a legend 🤧✊

yeah i agree that some episodes were funnier than the others and some missions were just boring  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but it’s okay i guess majority of the ep is still interesing!! omg same!! i love jisung he is so precious and it would be amazing if he just stayed the maknae of nct until the end! (highly unlikely i guess but a girl can dream) they could definitely make a spin off awsaz - jisung and nct and it would be so funny lmaoooo and winwin is an awkward cutie as well so!! 🥰🥰 

>they involved the hosts and had them do some drawing thing that was funny; my thoughts exactly!!!! it would be so great if they keep involving hosts lmao it would be funnier and more interesting; and yeah some hosts combinations were definitely better than the others (lowkey disappointed that jaemin didn’t get the chance to be the host lmao wonder how would that look) i think that one of the reasons dy/rj and js/jh eps were so good is bc markhyuck and cl/jw were amazing hosts lmao

ahh me neither!!! i’m not too serious about horoscope, i used to read about astrology for the fun of it lmao and yeah taurus and virgo is a great combination so !!!!

AHHH I’M SO GLAD YOU LOVE HUG it’s one of my favorite songs 🥺 do it santa you won’t regret!! their music is soooo good!!!!! and the performances are next level 

p.s. you can gif whatever you want!! and i’m sure it’ll be great! <3 don’t be to pressured, even if you can’t make it it’s completely okay, i understand, you don’t have to! these conversations we’ve been having are the best gift already! i really cherish them! 🤗💚

p.p.s AHH I LOVE MFAL TOO (shocking) and ikr??? THEY GREW UP SO MUCH 😭 but esp jisung???? he reeeally changed omg!!! and chenle!!! now they look all grown up i’m 🤧 emotional
