#fuck it’s morning

So, lets talk about hualian donghua voices again real quick

(also, it’s really a post about my love for Xie Lian)

I cannot express and stress enough just how AWESOME and how IMPORTANT their voices are

It’s just that

What other aspect of a person can hold and convey as much of their entire being as a voice?

It’s something so unique, so specifically yours

My own self-image issues often come in form of not being able to find right intonations to express myself

And it’s agonising

Because so much changes in how you’re being perceived with a slightly different tone

But even the fact that your voice can “betray” you is a marvel of its ability in itself

As it shows your insecurity, your inner conflicts, the patterns of behaviour you adopt around others

It all goes to show

just how MUCH a voice reflects one’s whole personality

And that’s why

I’m going absolutely N U T S when I just try and pay attention to hualian voices

Considering I’m rewatching tgcf donghua a lot

And in reality it is mainly consists od relistening since i do so while working

I’m paying A LOT of attention

But with the new season came a curious little issue

Until now I haven’t been able to concentrate much on analysing Xie Lian’s voice

Because, since he got a new voice actor, I was afraid of listening too closely just to see that

it ain’t familiah again

HOWEVER

Hualian

Is huaLIAN

And it became noticeable that I started losing grip on this by kind of avoiding the “new” Xie Lian

So tonight I listened

Really listened to his voice

And it

fucking

BLEW MY MIND AWAY

I am SHAKEN

No, I am literally shaking and I am seconds away from shedding actual tears

JUST BY LISTENING TO XIE LIAN’S VOICE

IT IS FUCKING

P E R F E C T

Everything that he is

His softness, his toughness, his kindness, his strength, his joy, his remorse, his weariness, his determination, his wisdom, his pain

I listen

And it’s all there

It is familiar

It is him

And paired with the same, deep attention to Hua Cheng voice

It is

Fucking

Unbelievable

It’s them

And they TALK

And they MATCH EACH OTHER

And they HEAR EACH OTHER

And they feel SO FUCKING HUMAN

Chinese voice acting is a fucking revelation in this regard, it’s like I’ve never heard a voice acting this natural, like they are not even acting

Their changes of intonations are so neutral and subtle, just like it is in real life, no exaggerations

(Yes japanese and english dub, i am looking at you)

Having said that

About how the voices reflect depth and complexity of a character

I am going to write a huge-ass calamity of a post shitting on everyone who’s ever said that Hua Cheng doesn’t have a personality

In a ✨psychoanalytical✨ way

If you’ve read this far

Thank you so much

I love you 💔💦

/gives you a big kiss/

AMAZON IS STRIKING LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!! LETS GO!@!

as someone who has worked in amazon warehouses for many years, this is crazy like. oh my god. DURING PEAK SEASON?? LETS GOOOO

media and companies are already trying to say "DONT LET THE UNIONS MISLEAD YOU WE PROMISE WE TREAT OUR WORKERS WELL!!!" well hey ive worked there for YEARS. they do not ! dont listen to their bullshit. it might be difficult to not get frustrated if packages are late at the most important time of the year but thats the whole point -- strikes happening when the workers are most necessary is a massive blow to showing just how essential the workers are . anyways stand with amazon workers this holiday season god fucking bless

Americans not giving a shit about the wildfires burning down forests and homes in Canada until smoke starts spreading across the border. Meanwhile Indigenous communities across the country are far more likely to be impacted by the fires and I’ve seen all of one link to a charity and about nine million memes. 🙃

soooo thinking about pro!hero shouto being waylaid in the street by a tiny cute girl scrabbling for his autograph, and he's still a bit bewildered by this whole fame thing but he tries his best -- so he bends down to ask her what he'd like signed, only to hear your voice, to look up and see you, just about the prettiest creature he'd ever laid eyes on, running up to the little girl and scooping her up into your arms before bowing and saying --

"i'm so sorry! she just ran off -- you can't do that, mia-chan! your mama will kill me of something happens to you!" before turning back to him with a pleading sort of smile and just, "sorry again -- she's my cousin's daughter -- i promise she doesn't mean to bother -- she's just such a huge fan --"

but he can't help noticing the glow in your cheeks and can't stop himself from wondering if you're a fan too. and what he'd do if you said yes.

"not a bother," he smiles, "it's just part of the job." he looks at the girl now, extending a hand, "thanks for being my fan -- what would you like signed?"

"no really -- you don't have to --" you say, but shouto reaches for a pen all the same.

"no, it's okay. i want to."

so he signs the little girl's handkerchief, and feels his chest go warm at the way she presses it to her chest, grinning wide enough to split the sky. it's only then that she looks back at him with curious, wide eyes and asks --

"aren't you going to sign anything for big sister? she's your big fan too!"

"mia!" you go just about the most darling shade of red, looking anywhere but at shouto; he clears his throat, licking his lips.

"i... i don't mind... if you'd like something --"

"no, please -- we've bothered you enough."

"can she have your number?" mia asks, now positively devious as she looks between him and you, "it was her new years wish when we did our first temple visit --"

"mia! that's enough -- i'm sorry, we'll just go --"

"here." he scribbles down his number and presses it into your hand with a bright blush of his own. and now he's the one who can't look at you, "you don't have to do anything with it -- if you don't want to. but if you do..."

"i -- i do! i just --" you glance back down at mia, grinning smugly in your arms.

"then... you can call me later. or text. whichever." he takes a few steps back, swallowing passed the heartbeat now thundering in the back of his throat.

"yeah. sure -- i will! i mean -- only if you don't mind."

"i don't. really."

"okay."

"okay then. see you."

"yeah... see you... soon."

"yeah. soon."
