(probably very problematic opinion on the english voices in totk
watching skittybitty's totk video for the 27864269th time and i STILL get jumpscared by the english voices, anytime anyone ever opens their mouth it just sounds like they took some random person they caught on the street to monotonely voice a line in one take, and sometimes one of them rly likes to pretend their are doing a voice but it just sounds like a little child imitating their granpa or someone trying to overact to their toddler, its especially sad for ganondorf, its hard to hear any of them for me but gan i start laughing and have to skip it bc thats NOT gan, thats me doing my worst evil guy impression, or zelda, thats not zelda talkign thats me doing a sarcastic uwu lil princess voice
to be clear, i have nothing agaisnt the people voicing them and i know people like the guy doing the gan voice but none of them fit at all and none feel like they are actually coming from the character, much more so you muting your TV and talking over the people on screen making shit up as you go for shits and giggles, i dont know what happened here, why are these SO bad, i listen to plenty of movies and games and whatnot in english and i only ever had a similar problem with the english voices of ghibli movies -though that could be bc im jsut so used to the german ones, which are fantastic- or maybe an extremely old game that was just weird on its own even
i take no pride in hating the voices, espeically knowing how badly voice actors are treated and often replaced with some shitty celebtrity, but i truly do not get why they are so bad, the voices themselves never rly fit, and even if it would be passable, they are all speaking in a way where it either sounds like they are some guy sitting next to you reading a line for the first time or overemphasizing so much it sounds like someone playing pretend with toddlers
and its not in an indie game where the devs did their best to voice people themselves bc they didnt have the money, this is nintendo, how is it still like that, bc even the ones returning from botw, are STILL just as bad, i dont know if that can all be the fault of the actors, its so weird to me
and it makes it even harder for me to believe that people take this game as seriously as they do or as emotionally affecting bc a, if not THE, biggest part of the fandom is made up of english speakers who would probably never even think about trying a different language
...anyway, i needed to say that at some point)

had a dream i was at this huge banquet thing where everything was free and after sitting at my own table for a while started walking around to see what else there was and found a table with a ton of boxes of rabbit shaped gummy candies in different flavors with two girls sitting at it & i politely was like “could i take one of these please?” and gestured at a box that had one of each flavor in it and without even looking at me one of them, in a really nasty tone, was like “no you can’t” with no other explanation. so then of course i took four boxes and walked away and was just wandering around looking at stuff and found a big mountain of cookies so i opened one of them (toffee or something. in the dream it tasted great) when the girl who told me no tackled me to the ground and started fighting me for the boxes of candy i took and i was like “why are you so obsessed with not letting me have any of these!!” and knocked her down on the ground and then my alarm went off and i woke up

Look man coming to terms with being 100% attracted to the Spooky Space Kook is like. Ok. You are so ancient you predate EVERYONE on this list by at least half a decade. I met you when I was insanely young and you were already my favorite monster. What the fuck are we. You're like my ancient husband I dug up from the tomb.
I want you.
