I know that the reason Sonic uses a lot of English phrases in Japanese is because that's a culturally "cool" thing to do in Japan (at least in fiction), and it's not something English dubs have ever tried to replicate, but honestly I think it would've been a fun trait to carry over regardless. In fact, I say we should be increasing the number of languages Sonic is pulling out at random
Like, just take all the instances of him using English in the original script and start cycling through different languages. Think of how many different ways he could say "yes" or "no way" or "are you alright". It'd be hilarious
"But how would anyone understand him" You canNOT tell me that all of Sonic's English quips would be understood by everyone, either. No way does Japanese Knuckles know what "wow, what a great view" means off the top of his head, and he doesn't care because he's trying to pummel him in that scene anyway
Tails understands him perfectly, though. He's used to it by now
#sonic the hedgehog#sonic x#Would it take effort to train his voice actor(s) to be able to do this?? Yes but I think it'd be worth it#Also Jun'ichi Kanemaru has a pretty strong accent when he speaks English too so it's not like they'd have to worry THAT much

any recommendations for my honeymoon to Japan in July? have about 2 weeks around tokyo and 2 weeks around kyoto
Only listing places I've actually been to, some might be closed when your date(s) of visit so do check.
Tokyo: Shibamata Taishakuten, Tokyo Skytree, Sensoji / Nakamise street, Ueno Park museums, Hokusai Museum, Tokyo-edo museum, Akihabara street, Hijiribashi / Ochanomizu, Yasukuni shrine (controvertial), Tokyo station character street (underground complex), Imperial Palace (guided tour), Tuskiji Fish Market, Ginza street, DiverCity (1:1 Gundam Unicorn), Harajuku street, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Meiji Jingu / Yoyogi park, Nakano Broadway, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku Historical Museum, Suga Shrine (Kimi no Na Wa stairs), Lucky Dragon 5 Museum
Kyoto: Ryoanji, Kinkakuji, Imperial Palace / Kyoto Gyoen, Shokokuji Jotenkaku Museum, Tadasu no Mori, Higashiyama Jishoji, Nijo Castle, Honnouji, Kiyomizudera, Fushimi Inari Taisha (mountain with shrine gates all the way)
I highly recommend visiting Nara / Osaka / Kobe if you're around Kyoto for two weeks and Yokohama / Yokosuka / Saitama / Kamakura for Tokyo. I also recommend you to look up if any anime / manga / media you like is based on real locations and go visit those if you have the chance to.
#im leaving out the train specific stuff so let me know if you want those#any other specific interests that i may know of too#test#ask#also rule of thumb if you stick in the city parts and tourist rich areas#99 percent of everything will have accompanying english text#if you cant speak japanese

Lol today i learned (while doing German homework) that the whimsical Finnish word "tilpehööri" (= additional trinkets or random things that come along with something else) actually comes from the Swedish tillbehör which is equivalent to the extremely commonly used German Zubehör
#not exactly the same meaning but similar#petition to create 'tsupehööri'...#i already joke with my parents that i'm going to start speaking like 19th century finnish immigrants to america and/or ppl along the swedis#border (also in the 19th century)#(= speaking old-timey finglish/swennish where you make english or swedish words into finnish w pronunciation/spelling)#liisasin tänään tsaitungista että tsuukistraikki jatkuu vii'immä#etc#so yeah lets make this a thing pls /J#ashhdhj translations:#liisasin = [ich habe] gelesen#tsaitungista = in der Zeitung#tsuukistraikki = Zugstreik#vii'immä = wie immer#i'm having so much fun with this xDD#(so my example sentence would be 'i read today in the paper that the train strike keeps going like always')#languages#random

Honestly I think Ragnar the Rock should've been a viking. I mean, he already has a viking name. But more importantly it would reduce the xenophobia vibes the franchise gives me
#like in the movies specifically there aren't any viking enemies as far as i'm aware?#thw has a bit of american patriotism vibes. at least to me#i mean the antagonists are two slavs and asian. can it be more obvious#not entirely sure about grimmel tho. everyone says he's russian because of the accent but#i don't know how a russian accent would sound in Old Norse#i don't think the writers even thought of that. everyone probably speaks only english#listen with stories set in history xenophobia is kinda expected. except httyd is anything but historicaly accurate#ragnar the rock#httyd ragnar#the warlords#httyd#httyd 3#httyd movies#how to train your dragon#how to train your dragon 3#how to train your dragon: the hidden world

idk if it's obvious but in the forsy offseason training vid the reporter asks "how do your legs feel, you know, for a man who, well, some see as a greek god" and forsy is just hand on hip staring off fondly in the distance he knows damn well who some is like even at home he's never living that ekky thirst quote down linked together forever just how ekky drew it up
OH YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME
MAN HAUNTED BY HIS PARTNERS HORNINESS EVEN IN SWEDEN IM GONNA CRY EKKY LOOK WHAT YOUVE DONE THIS MAN IS GETTING HARASSED IN HIS OWN HOMETOWN OH MY GOD CAN HE NOT HAVE PEACE
#ask#gustav forsling#aaron ekblad#florida panthers#oh i didnt know that ty^^!! i dont speak swedish so i was just fondly looking at him while not processing a single thing#thank you for this nugget anon i owe you my life 🙇♂️🙇♂️#“some” guys we have to start pointing fingers no one fucking else has started this train but EKKY himself#we have to bring shame back#its august icb forsys still being haunted by this EKKY SAID THIS BACK IN FEBRUARY OH MY GOD 😭😭😭#“linked together forever just how ekky drew it up” hes a true mastermind on a different plane of existence 🙂���️🙂↕️#forget this haunting forsy its gonna HAUNT ME#the little chuff he makes...okay#do you think about the way he was looking away from the reporter but as they said “grekisk gud” made eyecontact#and then immediately averted his eyes and starts fiddling as he says his answers. yeah me too.#IM CRYING IM GONNA THINK ABOUT THIS FOREVER FORSBLAD IN THE OFFSEASON IS THRIVING FOR SOME REASON#i hope hockeyreference eventually updates and puts greek god on his profile#hell i hope his non-english wikipedia articles update and put greek god in the nickname section#like at this point...

The least believable part of the HTTYD books is that Hiccup knows at least four languages and he never mixes them up.
#All the Vikings speak Norse#and he also knows Dragonese Latin and French#I know THREE (English German and Spanish) and not even FLUENTLY except English ofc and I mix them up#how to train your dragon#how to train your dragon books#hiccup horrendous haddock iii

why is it always when i'm really sleepy early in the morning that tourists ask me for help in english
#i do speak english but my brain doesn't work correctly in such conditions#one guy had a train ticket from a train station on the other side of the city. the train's departure time was in like 10 minutes#rip dude i hope he caught another train#and then a couple asking me about bus tickets#scandinavians just switching to english with a perfect accent out of nowhere will never stop being fascinating to me#like damn. i feel like i have a worse accent after getting a uni degree in the language

i am not allowed to send asks to people the way i talk would get me put in a mental hospital Immediately
#0 charisma skill check#im like if a generically mutated deer escaped the lab it was grown in where it was being trained to speak english#and then ran into the street and almost got hit by a car#and while in that deer in headlights position. the deer had to have small talk with the driver.

Yeah, I also want to see 2 season, especially Destiny and my favorite Delirium, but I'm also curius who will play Remiel and Duma.
[i think this ask was pre-s2 announcement bc 2022 but YEAH]
i'm a HUUUUUUUUUGE duma stan you dont even KNOW
#sandman#the sandman#duma#asks#answers#continuing my trend of answering asks from 2022#anyway im on my duma sign language train#i consider duma's domain to be the *concept* of silence. like as an audio phenomenon. that doesnt mean he cant talk!!#i'm glad that in the lucifer comics they respect him and usually seem to be able to understand him without oral speech#potentially bc (per canon) he *can* mentally project what he wants people to know#but i think they missed an opportunity to actually have duma tell lucifer in *words* that he is both deeply loved And a little bitch#like creatures like lucifer know every language so????#(also. signed angel conlang anyone??? with WINGS???)#(actually i think that's impractical since it needs to be usable during flight. but having different forms is also awesome.)#lucking out on this that the sign for me too/same seems to be the same in asl & bsl#ultimately i don't think that duma should need to speak a human signed language at all -- but for clarity idk which to pick you know?#considering that this is an english-speaking comic with a british writer with a largely american audience#*probably* asl bc i am american and don't want to mix myself up but#anyway if you are a native speaker of asl. if i ever do more comics with duma and others i Will need help#i know a few asl words but i do Not have a good grasp of grammar#so please feel free to correct or suggest or dm me idk !! i really want to interact w the d/Deaf community more#always open to language critique#and i kind of would love help designing angel sign conlang. bc the concept of duma giving lucifer a name sign lives in my head forever#fwiw i'm fully on the duma/lucifer qpp train by the way. like duma has been PINING.

About to reveal where I work but I’m so fucking tired of the like “the Costco founder said he would fucking kill them if they raised the price of the hot dog 🤓” posts which within context tends to imply that Costco is a “good” company (and it’s not just the stupid fucking hot dog, every Costco meme and joke ive ever seen has had the tone of ‘its such a great/ethical company tehe’)
Because man. I have worked there almost two years and have never worked a job where I felt treated LESS like a human being (by management, corporate, and customers) INCLUDING when I worked healthcare during peak covid and was coming in for a shift deadass every eight hours with no days off
Like it’s such a god awful fucking company and I see it every fucking day and if I see one more fucking person be like “they refused to raise the price of the dollar fifty hotdog !!!!!” I’m gonna start fucking biting things
#this company doesn’t let employees take time off#it has denied the disability accommodations of 90% of the ppl who have asked for them#we’ve told during training sessions that employees ‘aren’t allowed’ to speak languages other than English unless a customer can’t speak#English because it’s not ‘fair’ to ppl who only speak English who are overbearing it#*over hearing#the prices (except for that stupid nasty ass hot dog) are JUST as high and price gouged as every other corporate grocery store#but yeah sure they won’t raise the price of the hot dog the multi billion dollar corporation definitely doesn’t perpetuate all the worst#parts of capitalism like every other giant ass corporation#sure. sure.#sorry I saw a post about that stupid fucking hot dog and it made me mad lmfao#kaz rambles
