I blame the loss on Joe and Ja’Marr not doing their pinky promise!

so okay i have been very busy irl with work and having company this week, so i haven't had the emotional energy to answer the MANY asks i have received about joe and ja'marr and how terrible everything is lmao. just know that i got all those asks and i appreciate being the one that y'all want to come to with your joe'marr feelings, i get it, i see you, i hear you, etc. etc.

choosing to respond to all of them with just this ask though, because WHERE was the pinky promise??? it could have fixed everything!!!

but to put my opinion out there (which doesn’t count for much, disclaimer i obviously don’t actually know what is going through anyone’s mind on the team) i think joe and ja’marr are going to be okay. i’ve gotten panicked asks asking me if i think ja’marr is going to demand a trade, asking if i’ve felt how the vibes are off and how joe and ja’marr aren’t friends any more etc etc. and trust me, i love to catastrophize as much as the next person. but i really do not think we’re at that point at all.

ja’marr is frustrated, for a lot of very understandable reasons. he wants the ball more than joe is throwing it to him. he wants joe to have listened to him weeks ago about sitting out. and now they’re 0-2 with aaron donald staring them down. i think he has every right to express that frustration, and i’m sure joe is aware of it.

the thing for me is i need them to be TALKING to each other about all this. as much as i love that they know each other so well and have so much history that they can "read each others’ mind” and they “don’t need words”…..i think this is the season that maybe they do. things are rough right now and only looking bleaker in the future. they need to be on the same page on and off the field.

and i have faith that they WILL figure it out! they’ve been friends and teammates for 5 years! that’s not a bond that is going to go away after a few bad weeks. if anything i think facing this adversity together is only going to strengthen it! like imagine how powerful they’ll be when they actually use words with each other <3 <3

#like ja'marr knows joe is hard-headed #he's been telling us this all along #i am sure he's used to this from joe #as frustrating as it is that he wouldn't sit out and now he's hurt again #but i'm also sure joe really did think he was good enough to go #soft tissue injuries are weird man!#we'll see what happens - i just hope he's ok #and hell if he sits out the next game it's probably for the best #maybe jake browning is going to be amazing??? you never know!#anyway sorry there are so many asks and i just don't have the energy right now #i hope we've all calmed down a bit since game day #(if only a bit)#ask #anon

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.

#(i am incredibly passionate about this)#(and seeing celebrity voice actors in what should be a voice actor's role completely burns my buns it doesn't matter WHO it is)#(hemsworth as optimus? someone tell me one good reason why they couldn't get a good v/a to replace mr. cullen properly for the future)#(ben shwartz as sonic? dude literally isn't even a good voice actor OR actor anyways-)#(- A N D jason griffith AND my boy roger craig smith are still RIGHT HERE)#(jason griffith IN PARTICULAR would have pulled back SO many sonic fans that went to watch the film anyways. if not /more/.)#(and on top of that he has the same tonality and energy they tried to force this moshmo to try and emulate anyways so GET THE REAL THING)#(chris pratt as mario? i can at least defend /him/ and say that barring his failure to do a NY accent consistently he wasn't terrible)#(but mario's new voice actor could've been used instead and people would've clearly appreciated that WAY more)#(vanessa hudgens as sunny starscout in mlp g5's pilot movie? literally why. they replace her and hitch's va in the show.)#(don't even get me started on the concept of hiring celebrity singers to do musical theatre roles or not letting musical theatre singers-)#(-dub the celebrity voice actors you just HAD to hire for your film bc you're so worried about not getting enough clout to get ppl in seats #(that you're putting it all in this (1) big name hire bc turns out that you have no faith in your writing ability much less-)#(-animation as a medium.)#(and no before anyone says anything : no this is not me saying that ALL celebrity voice castings are bad.)#(there are some that aren't that bad and others that are actually pretty good.)#(i especially appreciate it when actors are damn well aware they aren't voice actors and try to LEARN from voice coaches-)#(-and/or their va predecessors if applicable.)#(that does not change the fact that the celebrity shouldn't have been hired just because the film wanted to have bragging clout-)#(-oh look at this FAMOUS PERSON we were able to hire — yeah ok. sure wendy. i want to know if this film is quality or not.)#(and 9/10 times the SECOND there is money spent on a non voice actor to voice the main character especially)#(that usually means somewhere along the way animation IS going to get shafted. if not w the animators themselves then in the way of-)#(-the actual animation itself and ESPECIALLY the screenwriting because it's especially been so dogshit lately even before the strike.)#(a celebrity being hired to fill a voice actor's role is such an immediate red flag to me and it is VERY rare that i get to be proven wrong

"Found out" set in kind of a made-up chapter where the girls are in trouble, or something.

#witch hat tag #orufrey #i hate having a strong cinematic image in your mind for months..working hours on it..& at the end looking you have to be like “Sure. :/"#i'm especially unsatisfied with the beginning and the end and how i can't get eyebrows to work as i want #but i dont care any more... this is probably the comic that has given me the most trouble ever i just dont care #i barely even care whatsoever if anyone even sees this..Ugh..but at least i can move on to the next era now #i'm just annoyed i cant get out good enough my image of qifrey flinching bc he thinks oru will hit him but then he is not hit #i feel like sensei will do something along these lines. i want to see what she will do.#there are also other variations i have in my mind. i just want to know #i just don't want it to happen with qifrey on his deathbed or something. but it possibly will. I DONT EVEN KNOW.#i have another very cinematic image in my mind for something sort of along those lines which i will do soon. it never ends...#btw after this is probably my fics. yeah.... i think it has to be my fics. jasmine sort of goes along these lines #i need that space for dialogue. look - i'm a writer. this is HARD for me. so i am really glad i had the space and freedom of words #to process all the feelings. but i tried to get something out in a quick visual space too. <- me defending myself to myself at cai court #anyway going along the lines of 'Jasmine' - they talk this out and argue and cry and oru pushes the hat at him and tells him #why not just erase every memory i have of you then. That would be easier for us all wouldn't it?#they kiss and sob and kiss and lie outside in the flowers for many hours in that one. and then there's 'Deep End' where it turns out #way way way way more time and words is needed for this actually and that's upsetting for everyone.#the destruction of the hat is certainly another path to take. Can you make this work without that hat going up in flames?#something you have always had and have been clinging to will have to be destroyed. You have to lose something now. This is the crux qifrey #I CANT GET IT OUT IN ONE COMIC!!! I CANT DRAW IT OUT!!!! I NEEDED THOSE FICS!!!! PRAISE WORDS!!!! whatever im going to have dinner now

well that's just a lie

#ash plays bg3 #bg3 #gale #gale dekarios #personal #look. im used to the way he looks now. im cool with it. but she shouldnt be!#this was an interesting conversation tho. i know ive been leaning into him following his own ambitions but--#the dialogue options along those lines are becoming a lot more direct in a way that doesnt quite fit with how im playing #the gale that im playing isnt going around pronouncing that he's gonna take over the world (because that's not what he's actually planning)#so im not completely sure how to play this. i saved before so i can go through it a few times to work out what i want to say #(ftr i have no qualms at all about reloading in this game. i dont feel bad in the slightest. im playing this game for fun)#ultimately i dont think it matters too much what i say here unless i choose some really extreme options. which isnt my plan anyway #but it's important to me. im enjoying the roleplay aspect #it's also pretty funny that ive only had one long rest since the one where i fucked the emperor. i should be able to tell her that lmao #like hey yeah a lot's happened since we last spoke #but anyway if you say you're gonna take the crown yourself she says 'if it doesnt crush you i will' which is fun #gonna stick with the 'im not sure' option. and all my companions are saying such nice things to me about it :')#except wyll and jaheira. come on guys #and lae'zel but that's because she's been kidnapped so. rip. should probably make that a priority but i like progressing main quests LAST

Jack Marsh (2005), Friendship Otherwise - Toward a Levinasian Description of Personal Friendship

#saw carnation lily lily rose by john singer seargent irl today. it was basically at my doorstep all along idk why i never went to see it #it was placed at a corner in the gallery. me and my friend sat down and sketched the paintings of beautiful naked people quite badly. paper #provided by tate britain. she told me about how she couldnt look her boyfriend in the face after a harrowing film about war. when i say the #interview was informal i mean the person who was supposed to be my boss told me let me get you a cider and then he said after #50 years of life he knows people are inherently good and it only takes a little bit of kindness to save this world. he said he tricked #his wife into keeping the baby and then he said he quit his job at a US bank to help people find meaning and in it #he would have liked to find meaning. instead he started climbing with his friends. he said he chews his cigarettes because its a habit from #when he had to hide things from people. the entire time i felt uncomfortable and incredibly enlightened. this is my friends mentor. she has #his pattern of pauses and expletive and penchant for ends-justify-means attitude. i do think im not very clever #but maybe one day i will love you enough to make up for it. i wrote code i dont understand staring at the final error i thought about how #we both thought of how when we're too old to remember the voices of our friends we would like to stand in the pathway of the LHC beam pipe #cut it open and eat light in the freezing cold vacuum (kills you long before radiation will) the invisible puncture wound unfolding dna #back to the start larger than you ever were. you go to heaven once youve been to hell. my friend is in my bed #practicing calculations of eigenvectors by hand and she is uninterested in a visual proof you are uninterested in incompetence #we catch a train this is your kind of burden you tragic hero wincing at that word you only do this because you have to. im the only one #who can. i am a coward in this for the fucking poetry. the visual proofs. the pretty numbers. an architect who was horrible at maths wanted #to be a philosopher and accidentally ended up neck in deep in 70th Error On Visual Studio Code i want to kiss your eyes before we say #goodbye we both know there is no love in the way there should be. I still have your dress in my wardrobe. i hope you make art.#you think im alright head-wise i think you fucking hate me i think ill never be so clever you want me to tell you my idea?#if you wanted more of this world i would have liked to kiss you harder. we cant both be like this. im sorry i cant be with you the whole wa #the love is gone if you have to ask it. his breath catches his eyes feel stiff it is -1.9 kelvin he is near the beam pipe i miss holding #his hand i miss her singing voice i miss his hair and i found the antonym of pain thank you for carrying me home.

sneeping with his legs up over his head for some reason... weird boye

#cats #love the second picture... skrungly sleepy well rested boye face...#since he's an elderly boy now sometimes when he wakes up from a nap he looks a bit scruffy and squinty eyed #Hard to beleive he's like 15 though.. he still looks like a kitten to me.. due to his giant round creature eyes and childlike demeanor #I think it's interesting that like... baby cats are babies. kittens are kittens. and you can tell a cat is like 'young adult' phase #looking from like a few months to maybe 1yr or 2yrs.. but after that they just always look the same to me #a 5 yr old cat is a 10 yr old cat is a 15 year old cat. unless the cat in question is particulalry aged or youthful #I still have so so little energy... it's been icy here this week. like not even FUN but just scary icy even thoguh i lOOOVE the cold #and its my favorite weather. I think it'd be okay actually if I had a woodburning stove/fireplace/hearth thing. literally thats my only #concern with the power going out. I genuinely don't mind stuff like having to go to the bathroom in buckets or cook over a fire or do other #less conveninet things. Its just that if eveyrhtng is electric then you have no way to cook and all of that. well.. and I literally need #background noise to go to sleep lest my ocd sprials become so loud I am slowly driven into maddness.. but a few battery packs or something #and a phone with one downloaded video I could play on repeat is fine for that. I dont need internet. ANYWAY.. so so sad that my fav #orite season ever (winter) is here. and the first cold of the winter is like... just an ice storm that you cant even walk in. I #love like 4 feet of snow where you can play in it and stuff. But just a thin flat sheet of a few inches of ice over every imaginable surfac #is not really playable. the wind speeds are so high and so many trees fall it's actually not that safe to go hang out outside anyway unless #you were in a totally clear open field. which is SAD also because i love ice and high winds. i love to stand out there and get whipped in t #he face with ice crystals and feel like I'm in some dramatic movie or something. but alas.. the threat of being attacked by a falling tree.#I did go out some but again it's like. literallyyou cant walk on it. so I just squatted and dragged myself along the ground lol #One of my stories has a whole section where the main characters are trapped in a deadly cold environment for a week and have to use magic #to survive and etc. etc. so I'm always like.. ouuu.. I should go in the ice.. it's Writing Research actually.. *foolishly gets frostbite*#THOUGH yesterday I went on a harrowing evil journey down a bunch of icy hilly roads to go check on some person's cat because the cat #had been left in the house for like 5 days at that point with nobody to check on them and nobody else seemed to want to do anything #about it (like call all of the neighbors or try to get someone out there) so I just went myself with a roommate who agreed to drive me.#It seemed acting totally normal and I gave it more food and water but.. I am still worried about it.. Apparently the person will be able #to get back to their house tomorrow but.. I dont trust them. But I couldnt take the cat with me because it's like.. a stranger's cat #basically and also no carrier + very skittish.. so I feared if I just tried to carry them bare handed they'd definitely leap from my grasp #and then it'd be like.. sliding on a sheet of ice chasing a cat and so on.. I still think they need to be watched for health issues tho >:|#ANYWAY.... many cat adventures lately... and strange weather... I wish for a normal week without always so many Things Happening.. augh

Me, sketching out charm designs: Fun!! Ehe! So fun!!

Me, lining charm designs: Why did god put me on this earth. Why was I put here only to suffer. Such a cruel fate has befallen me

Me, coloring and shading charm designs: Fun!! Ehe! So fun!!!

#Shima speaks #Can you tell I really hate lining <3 #A lot of my more recent art posts have been more sketchy than anything #I've found it's way more fun to just use the base sketch and clean up the lines a little #Rather than go over them all over again with Precision. You know??#I'll still do actual lineart for my more 'professional' pieces ofc #But the sketchy lineart is fun. And easy. And better. LOL #For charms tho the lines gotta look nice *sighs*#Anyway I finished all my Pokeani charm designs. They're DONE!!#I drew all the main protags except for Tracey Max and Bonnie #Still debating if I wanna add them #Idk why I didn't include them in the first place lol #I guess since I had the thought of 'well they're less popular'#But I drew Sophocles and he's probably one of the least popular Pokeani protags. Hmm.#ANYWAY. I started on my One Piece charm designs last night #They are coming along nicely <3333 #Very excited to finish them!

"it was all set out in our contract from the beginning. when kinzo's life ended, all the gold i lent him and all of the assets he created would be given to me" i really didn't need a red truth to tell me kinzo was dead, did i. it was pretty much tacit understanding. he had to be dead for the ritual to even start. fml 🤦🏻‍♀️

#what is it with umineko that makes us blind to the most obvious things #i need huge warning flashing signs whenever these characters are about to say something of relevance. which is all the time #but if there are 17 people on the island and kinzo is not counted among them because he is already dead...#13 sacrifices are chosen and half the time kinzo is presented as one of them even though that can't happen because he's already dead...#what this means is 1. this thing about needing to kill people according to the epitaph really is bullshit. it's just flashiness #2. the person doing this.. needs to know that kinzo is dead... they need to already know that to be able to trick the others into believing #he has just died. so this means that one of the little liars (and there's 7 of those as far as i'm aware) are a part of it somehow #(i could tell you that without doing all this mental gymnastic lmao but okay)#there was that one time genji and natsuhi confirmed that the burnt body was kinzo's but can i instantly assume they're #among the culprit(s) just for that? maybe someone else put the body there and natsuhi just went along with the lie #and BTW 1. how the hell did kinzo die? 2. have they been keeping his body in formaldehyde for over a year?? what the hell is going on here?#umineko spoilers #umineko liveblog

In case you wanted to feel EXTRA insane today, I found the Henry-Alexei connection I was looking for in this post:

Of course, it's all a lie and they can't keep the story straight:

And in a scene involving Joyce and Hopper, the last two explicitly confirmed people to have known Henry...but especially when you consider that this scene directly follows this scene:

Oh, the patterns...the PATTERNS.

#HE (THE DUFFERS) HAVE BEEN TELLING US HIS PLAN ALL ALONG!!#alexei stranger things #henry creel #stranger things

Hate having adhd went to go work on my fallout modpack, got distracted while going to disable the steam overlay, ended up in the points shop, went to go edit my profile, decided to change my pfp, found a buried folder I forgot existed, found some old Veneer art I forgot existed, spent 45 minutes looking at all the old photos, STILL HAVE NOT TOGGLED ONE SIMPLE OPTION THAT SHOULD'VE TAKEN 30 SECONDS AT MOST

#I'm shocked I have these drawings scanned on my pc I don't remember doing that I must've done it before I left in case my mom threw all my #Art out again #Anyway at age 12 I was writing a better '3 merpeople go on land to find a 4th one that has been disguised as a human all his life' story #Than Ma/ko Merm/aids EVER did so uh. Take that Jonathan #God it sucks so bad that kid me would've LOVED MM if it just DIDN'T HAVE THE STUPID GENDER WAR BULLSHIT #Literally the entire first and second season is just. So fucking stupid. I wrote a God damn essay about how they fumbled Erik's story SO BAD #I don't even LIKE Erik BUT THEY DID HIM SO DIRTY #THE CHARACTER POTENTIAL AND WRITING COULD'VE BEEN BETTER THAN ZANE B. S1 OF H2O BUT THEY THREW IT AWAY AND FOR WHAT!!!!!!!#Seriously you're telling me a kid who was abandoned his entire life for being male didn't have a bigger impact on the pod than FUCKING ZAK?#That plot twist of 'oh actually Zak was a merman all along' was 100% so they could guilt free write Erik out #Instead of like. Having him face his actions or redeem himself in like. Any way. He just fucks off. THEN the pod is like lol Zac were sorry #We're sorry for literally not doing anything to you because you were privledged enough to have a mother who was super ultra powerful #So you were never really affected by our actions until JUST now. Unlike that other fuckface Erik who suffered his whole life alone #Also then in s3 there are STILL no mermen in the pod. Not even little mermen babies. No kids and teens they've welcomed back n apologized to #NOTHING #God. Mm pisses me off dude #AND I STILL HAVENT TOGGLED THAT FUCKING OPTIONS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #Cruddy rambles #God I'm not done I'm sorry fallout can wait YOU ARE TELLING ME THE GUY WHO TELLS US HOW SHITTY MERMAN BABIES R TREATED BY THE POD. IS NOT #THE SAME ONE THE POD APOLOGIZES TO IN THE SEASON FINALE BECAUSE THEY WROTE IN A SHITTY PLOT TWIST?#AUUUUUUUHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG #It's so bad. It's so fucking bad. It's so needlessly gendered and for what. They could've just had 2 rival warring pods #What pisses me off the most is that s3 (4) completely pivots and never really follows thru with the s1 and 2 story arcs #The writers just kinda wash thsir hands of that because 'hey the pod said sorry to zac' BUT THEN NOTHING ACTUALLY CHANGES!!!!#Maybe instead of having a constantly rotating cast of characters s3 (4) could've instead focused on Ondina and Erik's relationship a bit #Maybe have Ondina tell him she wants to just stay friends because she can't trust him. Have him IDK grow and change as a character?#Maybe so you can show kids nobody is born evil and we all need support systems and healthy relationships to grow and become better people??#THAT would've been a GOOD FOLLOW THROUGH #But no instead u just write him out of the show and never show any OTHER mermen who were exiled being welcomed back #Like u had Ondina becoming a teacher... Why not have Zac become a teacher for all the new mermen who were just recently welcomed back??

decided to play the heirs of fate dlc this weekend (ive been meaning to for awhile; admittedly my knowledge of it all comes from browsing the wiki, and i really wanted to experience the anankos characterization for myself). this isn't even the part i was excited to get to BUT I AM REELING OVER IT..........FOR REASONS I WILL DISCLOSE IN THE TAGS (from part iv: light's sacrifice)

#during shigure's explanation about why there's gaps in the kids' memories my brain IMMEDIATELY flipped to krad's post about whether --#gunter actually remembers how much he loved his family/is the revenge really for them or is it more so for his own satisfaction --#and like. OH MY GOD.

I got an email from my grandpa today and all the draft responses I’ve been working on in my head sound like an 18th century letter that’s going to have to travel for months to reach him.

pandemic year 5 really has me feeling like me and a very small handful of people I know are living on an entirely different plane of existence than everyone else

#like I haven’t seen him in over a year. I’ve seen him 3 times since 2020 #so I guess on the isolation and slow communication front it’s pretty similar #he used my chosen name. I haven’t changed my email yet but he used my chosen name #I don’t even care at this point if he never gets my pronouns right #I thought I’d never be able to tell him. I didn’t want to find out his politics were more important #he’s quiet and kind and he gives people expensive gifts any time he can afford it but he constantly forgets people’s allergies #so he might get you something you can’t have but whoever you pass it along to will love it #he cries at weddings and during church services and sometimes random holidays #he passes out in his rocking chair at every family function #he’s the unofficial photographer of every gathering ever since my great grandfather stopped being able to walk as much as the job requires #and he voted for trump in 2016 and has afaik an active nra membership #he once complimented my outfit by telling me he’d call me a stud if I was a guy #which like. ok. I have some notes #but uh. thanks?#idk I’m just. it sucks being so far away from everyone and everything because the rest of the world is ignoring an ongoing pandemic #I’m missing so much of my life and others lives and even parts of my own transition #I can make steps to reach out but it only goes so far if poeple #are unwilling to mask or vaccinate or even just ask what needs to happen to make it safe #so I don’t. idk. kill my partner #or become even more disabled than I currently am #my family’s been making steps and they’re taking me seriously but it’s all so slow and I’m still sore from bracing for rejection #I’ve been bracing for rejection for so so long it’s terrifying to reach out. about anything #this is not condusive to a healthy relationship lol #not sure what to do other than bonk myself on the head and say ‘get better’ tho #*bonk* ‘try again’#one step at a time ig #ahshitherewegoagain.jpg #.txt

no because chuck was so right to leave. he was an artist. he created art. and he refused to engage with it. he let it be. he let humans choose how to perceive it. and then everyone begged him to intervene. and when he did, they all hated it.

#ooc.#archives: show thoughts [ meta ]#this is exactly #hear me when i say #this is EXACTLI what kripke has been telling us all along #they all wanted chuck back so badly and when they got him they hated it #because he didn't leave up to their standards #because they made sure their standards would exceed any and all interpretations of who he was on a fundamental level #yes dean i'm talking to YOU 🫵
