#for saying getting hitched

[frownyalfred]

“getting married” cool, kind of serious

“swearing the vows” deeply personal, permanent, a true commitment

[dovewingkinnie]

the doppelgangers in elevator hitch kind of (just found this game am in love)

Voice actors are NOT the same as actors.

It takes a specific kind of skill-set and training to be able to warp and meld the voice. It takes a certain kind of talent and dedication to hone that talent into the ability to meld the voice and invoke emotion with one's voice alone. Actors are used to using their voice secondarily to their body language and their facial expressions. It's all mirrored back on camera. They do have nuance. But it's a different kind of nuance and a different kind of training to produce that nuance.

Voice actors might get their likeness transposed on their character's design, and maybe their mannerisms might seep into the character's animation. But when it's all said and done: their presence is in their voice. They are bringing a character to life, showing that emotion in their voice, trying to keep a specific accent, drawl, pitch, tone in that voice and keep it consistent for their recording sessions.

The voice actor is like a classically trained musician who can play first chair in a competitive, world-renown orchestra. The actor (who fills the voice actor's role) is like a moot who played violin in beginner and intermediate high school orchestra and thinks they can get into Juilliard with that 2-4 years of experience.

This doesn't mean that the HS orchestra moot can't play. They can even be really good at it. Maybe they won competitions and sat first chair. But they are not in the same league as the person who's been training their whole lives and lives and breathes to hone their craft using the instrument and all of the training they've ever acquired to perfect it. They are not meant for the same roles. They are not in the same caliber. You do not hire the HS equivalent when you want to play complex music in a competitive orchestra.

Actors are not the same as voice actors.

And furthermore, actors - especially big name actors - taking the roles of animated characters for big budget films or TV pilots makes no sense anyways when - at least in the case of TV pilots - there's not a point to hiring a big budget actors anyways. That money could be used elsewhere (like paying your animators), and the talent that is brought onto the screen for X character could then be hired on to voice said character no recasting required.

I wouldn't say voice acting as a profession is in danger exactly, but it's certainly being disrespected and overlooked for celebrity clout, and this has ALWAYS been an issue. Shoot, even Robin Williams knew that much - which is why he tried so hard not to be used as a marketing chess piece for Aladdin and got royally pissed off when it happened anyways. People shouldn't go to any movie (but especially not animated films) because "oh famous actor is in it". People should go because it's a good movie and the voice acting is good.

People who honest to god think that voice actors are replaceable because "oh well anyone can voice act" or "I like xyz celebrity so naturally it'll be good" ... Honestly I just wish you'd reassess your priorities because you're missing the point and are part of the problem.

Voice Actors ≠ Actors.

Are Portal Au Dipper and Bill going to "marry" eventually or are they going to be stuck at the boyfriend phase forever? Not that it makes that big of a difference but it's still interesting to know. If they do marry, is it an accident or on purpose?

They might! It's totally possible for them both to be perfectly happy being long-term boyfriends.

But if a marriage thing happens, it's gonna be on purpose.

And it would have to be Bill who proposes.

Dipper, as a human, would think of it first - socialization and all - but he wouldn't mention a Really Big Step forward that, in his mind, isn't something demons do. He's still on shaky ground when it comes to the whole 'does he really like me though' thing! As far as he knows, Bill could be confused by the very concept! Or disgusted, or disinterested, laugh at him for being such an idiot. Or worse, do it just to placate Dipper. Not because he wanted to. Just to shut his human up. No matter how interesting the idea sounds, it's clearly off the table.

Catch this man giving longing glances at the rings on someone else's hand, and telling himself he doesn't want that. He can't want that. He's got a great thing going. Everything's better than he imagined already, he should - Just be happy with what he has, damn it.

ED 13A - Hired Puppet It's all that you have ever wanted! Pray that you will never come to regret this decision.

(based on @youneedthisjob's current portrayal of protag that you should totally go interact/ send asks/ follow/ give love to because holy shit i've been going insane by fortune's characterisation of him. and protag's in a newly started arc akin to ED 13 so go send asks and get blasted with lore and pain)

((also also under the cut is a monochrome version without the pixel-esque overlay because he's too colourful. i want my grey tones.))

Hey do you guys think characters call each other Mourning Actors when they're being a buzzkill, since hsr can't have Catholics? "Alright, we get it, you're a Mourning Actor" kdkzjskskek

willow omg right person wrong time bakugou has me in SHAMBLES 😭😭 if you're still connected to his friend group, you'd meet up occasionally and he'd listen to you mention the person you're seeing to mina or someone 😭 and he'd just turn away even though he can't stop himself from listening 😭 because you deserve happiness and if he butts in, he'd be denying you of that !!!!! (if you ever write anything for this i will eat it up with a spoon even if it hurts not even kidding)

i feel like it kills him to hear, like knife straight through to the heart 🥺 but he'll still ask you stuff like, "your dude buy that shit for you ??" if he sees you with a new necklace or something, and part of it is because he wants to know that he's treating you right, but it's also how he puts out his feelers, to see if you're still together LOL even if he knows he won't make a move, he still wants to know akfnduakak

picture ed and stede getting ready for their wedding and they’re both nervous and jittery. stede eventually can’t stand it and goes to ed, and immediately calms down when he’s standing in a doorway smiling watching ed try and fail to fix his boutonnière (they’re flowers made of red silk btw). stede steps in just as ed is about to give up, takes the flowers and puts them on ed with a “there we go, you wear fine things well” and we get a gnossienne drop. they are so in love and everything has led them to this moment. ed cannot stop smiling. neither can stede, who moves a strand of ed’s half up-do out of his face and says in an excited whisper, “we’re really doing this!”

then obviously their shared laughter alerts frenchie and jim who immediately haul stede’s arse out of there (much to stede’s bitchy annoyance) because it’s bad luck to see each other before the ceremony and they’re going to curse the matelotage

Okay children, gather around. It's "Spencer Complains and Acts a Little Mad" Time:

I have been raw dogging life for 1 month without my adhd/depression/anxiety/mood stabilizers medication and without a single Therapy appointment

I haven't left my house in 1 month, I haven't spoken to any of my (in person) friends in over 1 month, I haven't seen my family in 1 month, I haven't seen my bloody cat in over 1 month, I've barely left my bloody room in over 1 month, and I've been listening to my bloody voice almost every day for 1 hour so I can finish editing the bloody podcast for over a month

To top it all of: I haven't had a decent night's sleep in about 4 days now (in which I just don't sleep or I have extremely vivid nightmares with my departed mother and/or scenarios where I die over and over and over again but can't speak to ask for help before it happens - fun for all the family, if you ask me) and I might or might not be completely and absolutely going insane, with only Good Omens season 1 (6/6) and season 2 (5/6) and the existence of Crowley/red haired Fire Pokemon David Tennant Edition being my sole producer of any amount of serotonin

How am I alive? Good question. Beautiful genderfluid demonic content can be some very nice very distracting content for individuals that simp for Fire Type David Tennant Pokemon like myself

I am quite sure my only contact with anything mental health related in the past weeks has been my best friend whom is very very annoying and refuses to leave me the heck alone and whom is a nurse and is working extra time to advice my stupid ass the best she can, bless her heart

So, with my personal nurse's permission, I have doubled my sleeping medication for the night and, as Fall Out Boy once wrote for the song "Alone Together" in one of my favorite albums to have ever been created "Save Rock and Roll": I'll check in tomorrow if I don't wake up dead

I have no idea why a-boot became the go to word to make fun of the Canadian accent when there are so many BETTER words to have a laugh with

I’ve never really noticed actual Canadians saying aboot instead of about. But I have noticed that they put their megazine in their beg and go to the steere

Also most of what Americans think of as the Canadian Accent comes from Ontario and Ontarians Just Being Like That

There’s a whole new level of fun with Montrealers/Quebecois that can be had bc most people speak anywhere between 1.5-4 languages and the vast majority don’t have English as their mother tongue. So many language and accent shenanigans going untouched!

>[It's been quiet lately.]

>[Too quiet. Nobody to speak to. Nobody to socialize with.]

>[And with silence comes thoughts.]

>[Most of which are bitter. Unsavory and hard to chew. Thoughts that would catch in your throat, slowly choking you. Assuring you're in the pit you dug for yourself.]

>[Things get boring. Things get tough. Things get weird.]

(tw suicide ideation)

>[He starts seeing things. The shadows twisting into the faces of those he wronged who wronged him. The darkness only a mocking reminder of his mistakes. The tantalizing promise of temporary escape lays in his kitchen. Knives. Medicine. Scissors. Hell, you had a pair on you now.]

>[He doesn't even miss her. He's a terrible person. Why do you come back? Why did you ever entertain him in the first place? Why did you ever speak to him? Why do you keep assuring him he has someone out there who will care? If he finds a way to go for good, he'd take it. He doesn't care. Not about you, not about his lover, not about any friend.]

>[Stop coming back.]

i think what the cyberbunk 2077 and the r/synthwave crowd miss about the aesthetic of cyberpunk in general is the urban decay of american cities in the late 70s/80s. Everything has to suck, it cant just be glass towers and neon
