no, you don't get it. you DON'T GET IT. odysseus's mother's last thoughts being about her son is heart wrenching; odysseus's mother being voiced by jay's mom is overwhelming BUT YOU'RE MISSING SOMETHING
when she dies, jay will be left with the remnants of his mother soothing him, promising him that she is waiting for him. WHEN SHE DIES, he will still have this song. he will have his mother's melodic voice as a comfort in his grief.
THAT is what kills me every time. that is what sends me to the floor whenever the underworld plays.
#am i going crazy#these thoughts have haunted me#i am literally so obsessed with this#because i would KILL to have vocal remnants of those i've lost#telling me that they're waiting for me#and knowing their last thoughts were of me#epic the musical#epic the underworld saga#the underworld#jorge rivera herrans#but do you understand what i'm saying#or do i just sound like an asshole#please reach the right audience#DO YOU GET IT#if this has already been said#sorry but i had to say it too#i did not explain this correctly#but idk how else to say it

((Can-They-Kill-Macbeth-themed murder mystery party where the victim is Macbeth and you have to narrow down which of the guests feasibly could kill him under the "no man of woman born" prophecy as well as find out who smuggled a piece of Birnam wood into the venue. My brain is huge))
#Mister Carson I believe earlier today at dinner you said you were... how did you put it again? “Man-adjacent”?#He's lying! I know because I am the doctor who performed the C-Section over 20 years ago!#I've met your mother sir and if I recall correctly she said they were comfortable with any pronouns 🤨 Care to explain?

I always think about how minus the people close to Anne and parts of the government, the rest of the world thinks that the s3 frogvasion was a hoax or a movie stunt gone wrong. Not only have the trio been through something no one else on earth can comprehend, but if they try to talk about it to even a therapist, they're more likely to be labeled as delusional or in psychosis.
#if i remember correctly (and i could be wrong)#doesnt the marcy journal imply that marcy went to therapy?#like how#you cant really explain that#and i think it says she was in the hospital after amphibia right...?#how did they explain her injuries#even disregarding the stab wound to her chest. she would have injuries all over from the core controlling her body#as well as whatever modifications the core made to make her a suitible host#like#she went missing for over half a year and had the most brutual injuries that shouldnt even be possible#and NO explaination#how did they explain that to the doctors?#i could be wrong btw#i havent read the marcy journal all the way through in a while#but i'm pretty sure it mentioned her being in the hospital post amphibia....?#or maybe i'm thinking of the fanfic i wrote when i was 16 about that + other fanfics/fanarts i've seen#i havent slept much but this is bothering me#amphibia#amphibia spoilers

it really sucks so bad that u cannot even share fun facts on the internet w/o people pulling a "how could you NOT know this" like c'mon dawg. where is ur joy and whimsy. I just learned something cool and I wanted to share that moment with u. and instead of being cool about it u stepped on me like a bug. I hate it so bad I'm sorry u deal with it so much I really appreciated the snake post bc I also had the same feeling of befuddlement about it!! and I got to learn something new and cool bc I saw u post about it so thank u for sharing even when people are snotty in ur notes about it
I'm glad you enjoyed the snake post!! I did too, and so did most of the people that have seen it! normally I'm better at handling the small fraction of annoying people in the notes, this one just hit me in the achilles heel.
c'est la vie, etc. tumblr being tumblr. of course you can't go on here and make a post about being surprised your glass fell off the counter without people in the notes assuming you don't know how gravity works
#I actually did a semester of research on global biodiversity gradients last fall so it's just a little bit funny when people bring up#glacial fluxes#like yes. I know about milankovitch cycles. did YOU know I've run the regressions on correlations between them and reptile species diversit#and found that it doesn't explain as much of the variation as NPP??#I'll chill out about it soon don't worry#asks#anon#if I recall correctly npp isn't a good predictor of snake diversity either but like. can't be bothered to check

yesterday at work, one of the older kids (ish; five) saw my water bottle (it's like 64 oz I'm a thirsty bitch) on the counter, and said, "is that your big water bottle?" and I was like yeah so he was like "why is it so big' and I said "well I'm a big boy I need a big bottle" and he said "you're not a boy you're a girl!!" because while I'm out with the adults I don't tell every kid my pronouns yknow most of em don't even really speak yet. my coworker refers to me as them in front of the kids but like they're kids, right? and if you've got no context for my whole thing or gender Stuff in general, sure I look like a girl and that's not a like, offensive guess, ykwim?
anyway, I said, "that's just your opinion, man," and turned to help another kid. it did not come up again.
#my philosophy re child rearing is basically just explain stuff#I frequently use works that I KNOW the toddlers won't know#but I also always define it if I know I've said something they won't get#and idk if they actually pick any of it up#but I did get to teach a little girl about poinitilism last week and that was cool as hell#but yeah I'm not like Explaining Gender to these kids I just refer to myself correctly#also you gotta offer them choices#but yeah if you're super chill most of them time when you break out the full name and the loud voice#that kid is 100% gonna freeze#if you're always yelling they'll ignore you you gotta be chill and then add sauce when needed#I'm not a parent I'm just a day care guy okay

SAY THAT?????/ THATS SO MALICIOUS???#stop! being! mean! youre not cool youre just edgy and putting down people#your interpretation is not right if you think she's super duper only evil and needs to be portrayed that way. in the bin#crepe rants#-> somebody PLEASEEEE tell me im not insane . or convince me to do it#KIDDING ON THE LAST PART. partially#sorry the nyc public schoolkid in me is yellling for me to go insane over it and tell them to stop being an asshole

i love knowing about other people's business so please tell me in the tags: what's something that lives in your mind rent-free?
#a couple of years ago i saw an episode of a game show#and a guy spent a lot of time explaining the etymology of a word and how his teacher would ashamed if he didnt answer correctly#he completely forgot to answer the question and the time ended#so he lost the game#but i cant find the video anywhere#and i'm sure this is a real actual thing that has happened#not a weird dream of mine#even though i would 100% do the same thing he did

The Lord of the Flies test was something…
-Based on a real question
T or O: Both of Piggy’s parents are both dead.
V1B3z: True, wait-checks the book- fuck no false. ONLY HE’S DAD-
-
It went like that for.. like atleast 5 questions where it says something that DID happen in the book but that DIDNT happen in the same question..
I have to wait for Tuesday to continue to the next half of the test 😔

They do establish that Trip is an alien in the first couple episodes but Katie literally gets no elaboration on how she's so strong. It's just a thing she does. Maybe she's just silly
#text#chipster's liveblogs#tf#if i remember correctly i don't think they ever really explain it outside of genetic mutation being used in the future#which is like. ok. why did her parents want a baby with super strength though

hahaha my boss' incompetence screwed me out of 2k and she's acting like it was my fault ha Ha HA
#took a second job that was going to pay a stipend#cleared it with her. cleared it with her boss.#sent her the payment agreement as soon as i had it#and now she's saying oh no you definitely can't do that#i can do it as part of my job but i don't get paid anything extra for it#and she's claiming she knew this was a problem all along but didn't tell me because i didn't explain it to her correctly#she didn't say that but that was the implication#she did say if i'd known this was the situation i would have told you#well! you did! and you didn't tell me!#she really wants me to tell her it's fine and i forgive her#but what she still isn't understanding is that that money would make a huge difference to me#she kept saying she's in the same boat but! she's not! she's making a manager salary in a dual income household!#i'm not!!!!!!!!!#anyway i knew this was going to happen but it doesn't make it suck any less#and i'm really fucking mad. and now i have to listen to her talk for two hours.

The Payne motto is malo mori quam foedari, which translates to "I would rather die than be disgraced."
Of course you guys can take my word (or www.houseofnames.com 's word) for this, or you can watch Liam say it himself as he explains his tattoos.
youtube
#hey guyssss#its me#ya girl#fact checking a random thing liam payne said while he was explaining his tattoos#yk.... normal behavior#im not even particularly a liam fan#im just now in the mindsight of trying to make Fun Facts#also i hope i did that youtube link correctly- it should start at 4:22 where he starts to explain his coat of arms tattoo#1d#one direction#1dfunfacts#liam payne#liam 1d#payno#shit omg i typed mind sight instead of mind set#im. smart#i PROMISE!!

Yuri's dialogue (JP) is so fascinating to study, like... the repetitive use of certain words/phrases that others use sparingly but he uses constantly. the way it feels like his vocabulary is more expansive than what he uses, but he defaults to a "comfort" level of speech. the way it mixes in with his sort of "street talk" words and the sheer level of informality. the way his "street talk" phrasing is contrasted by the tone of his voice (on that note, people I know who also know JP are also very endeared by these aspects of him so I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST ME!!!).
'cause the thing is, he uses phrases that yeah, other people do use, but he uses a handful over and over and over (contrast to other characters' sparing use of repetition). it's actually... really refreshing? it sounds more relatable and less "video game/anime/JRPG/RPG" writing or something, idk. like closer to how a real person would speak.
I do my best in my translations not to make things sound too stiff across the board, but Yuri makes it so easy. it's why I'm so interested in translating all his lines in Vesperia, like... the actual, original tone for him with his original wording because it's smth Eng only players don't get to experience ('cause even if you listen with JP audio, if you don't know the language, ofc you're gonna miss out on context. it's nobody's fault for not knowing, just... they unfortunately miss out). the thing is, there are a lot of times when the lines in and of themselves are not contextually incorrect in the English ver (usually the situation for smaller scenes, because they altered the text outright for more important stuff which was the stuff that originally set me off, but there were also plenty of cases of just vocal tone shifting with the correct context that still gave off the wrong impression), but Yuri's tone is shifted away from the original in Eng even though it's completely and perfectly translatable.
I am by no means about to translate the entire game because let's face it, I really don't care that much for Vesperia on the whole. I'm kinda stuck with it because Yuri's there lo and behold I actually am WAY more engaged in his stories in Rays, Link and Asteria because it's an amazing character put into circumstances where he actually gets to shine and feels more alive, which Vesperia did not provide nearly as well with its very disjointed story. also, Tales gachas have banger stories that are arguably better than the mainline games, and they regularly make Yuri a very central character to the gachas. Crestoria was also about to do it until they pulled the plug on that game and I'm pretty confident something interesting has been lost to the world. also I just generally don't have the energy or motivation to do that, so... I'll only be focusing on Yuri's lines, especially because his stuff is where the bulk of the messing around was. he's just insanely fun to translate for and I love burying myself head first into his speech.
will I actually finish this project? dunno. will I get around to posting it? whatever I get done (so all of it if I complete it), and if I decide to call it quits then I'll post what I have at the time I decide that. will it take a long time? probably, but I can always mention stuff along the way...
#GTF Vesperia Things#GTF Yuri Things#also the more I comb the script the more I properly notice all the uh... very awkward loc changes in smaller sentences in smaller scenes#like things that change the understanding of a sentence. or in Yuri's case just... the usual annoying personality shifting#noticing lots more stuff than when I did those big posts bc I was less focused on the tiny stuff/not side by side comparing#like a lot of this stuff is plot irrelevant and I knew it was littered around but I'm just getting#a bit more of a proper feel for it and how often it's there while studying Yuri's speech under a microscope bc I like observing him fkjhsjg#the fact that they're extremely largely consistent in tampering with Yuri's verbal (not just vocal) tone still has me LIKE.#but I'm fighting to ignore it so I can study my precious boy for reasons unknown beyond hyperfixation#also with Link I was actually mad at first bc they totally dropped the ball on Yuri's repetitive speech in arc 1. like it just wasn't there#there were plenty of times I noticed that normally he'd be SAYING those phrases but it just didn't happen where it should've#(like ''he'd def have said that here but it's not here'') Rays' main writer was not Vesperia's and she STILL got him down PERFECTLY#frankly I'd argue Rays' writing of Yuri is more correctly Yuri than Vesperia Yuri is which is oddly hilarious LOL#but mainly more that arc 2 Yuri is fucking WONKY sometimes but god knows most of my friends who know JP don't like that writer for#various reasons. somehow he pulled out that banger of a novel but arc 2 forget it. but yeah Rays just... really encapsulated YURI himself#the dialogue for him is spot on. not that Link and Asteria flunked with him bc they didn't#it's just that I think Rays and Miyajima gave the best quality of him bc the circumstances let him be more expressive#that said back to Link arc 2 did actually fix the speech issue so I don't know if they had different writers between arcs or just#realized they forgot to include those points of his character in arc 1 bc I know it wasn't the Link loc's fault#bc Yuri had full JP audio and I could hear that they just didn't have those things#but LORD the ACTUAL RELIEF that flooded me when arc 2 brought that shit back LMAOOOO#but yeah as far as Yuri goes he's absolutely fascinating and unique and he shines so bright in the gachas#it makes me really really sad that his home game is one I don't have much interest in#and that it's one that a lot of ppl feel the writing was wonky for (bc it was)#but I'm eternally grateful the gachas gave him opportunities to really shine as a character in great settings#bc it's not that he doesn't shine in Vesp itself. it's that the circumstances don't rly... allow him to be like PROPERLY unrestrained ig?#idk it's hard to explain. just. he was more. WHOOSH. I guess. in the gachas. yeah. like that. or smth. :')#sorta like. amazing character but not the best circumstances for him to show his true potential which I think he does in the gachas#bc the gachas have such great stories and scenarios and he's put into them#ANYWAY TL;DR YURI'S SPEECH IS FASCINATING AND I LOVE HIM

Hi this might be a weird question but how do you get your kids to be motivated for stuff that they don't feel like doing? I just started working with kids from age 6-7, and I often find myself at a loss on how to make Learning How To Write And Calculate an exciting experience. (I'm not a teacher btw, just an assisstant but I still want to help a little in any way I can like making classes go smoother.)
Do you have any tips?
Objectively hilarious ask to send to a fandom blog, but yeah!
One thing to remember is there isn't really such a thing as "no motivation". Actions or inactions are always motivated by something, you need to figure out how to redirect that motivation. My sister taught for a decade and I remember she really loved Rick Lavoie's speeches - he talks a lot about motivation.
So things like stickers, prize charts, little rewards that can be as small as a chocolate chip (that they're allowed to eat in class) work wonders, but they do need to be constant - and you cannot escalate or the escalation becomes the norm.
For calculations, what worked for me with summer homework was using mini twizzlers - they each got a sheet with a grid, and would place one twizzler in a box to figure out addition or subtraction (so 4+5 would be putting 4 twizzlers in four boxes and then 5 more twizzlers and counting up how many were on the grid). Once the sheet was done they could eat the candy, but you could probably use counters or little beads instead - with beads you could have each kid save their beads and make a bracelet at the end of the week.
Writing is harder, but maybe let each kid pick a color pencil/crayon, or let them have two different colors to make a pattern as they write? There isn't any real reason for them to be working only in pen/pencil yet. Letting the kids put their own stickers on a finished sheet also worked for me over the summer.
Also not really your job, as an assistant, but worksheets should not be taking more then 10-15 minutes to complete these kids do not have attention spans yet. Kids who finish faster should get to pick a book from the class library and quietly read while the other kids finish. Or, depending on class size or your co-workers, maybe small puzzles? Mini activities that they can finish in under five minutes? And have like five minutes between lessons so the kids work at a slower pace can also do something.
Also also! Thank you so much for being a teacher, because that is what you're doing even if you're working under someone. I appreciate you guys so much
#asks#i feel like this needs a disclaimer#i DO need to wrestle my kids into the bath most days and we DID have a reward system for summer homework that involved stickers and grab bag#but honestly the skills they're learning are more important then the work#if that makes sense?#like at a certain age you can explain that you need to write the same letter five hundred times so that you can write it correctly#but 6-7 is not that age

if anybody’s mad at me today I am going to start crying and I’ll cry so much that my tears will fill the whole room and we’ll both die
#nobody scold me for silly things please….#like the other day I got scolded by a manager because a customer was complaining about our customer service phone line thing#and I was trying to be sympathetic while moving her along like ‘oh I’m really sorry that happened! I’m glad you were able to come in for#this return and I hope everything goes well’ sort of thing#and my manager yelled at me for ‘talking bad about our coworkers’#like. girl..#and I explained exactly what happened and she just wouldn’t believe me. she just kept on telling me the same thing#and then two nights ago I did everything correctly to close the store and another manager scolded me#for taking too long and basically told me that he expected that I did something incorrectly#I just gave him a lot of loud thank yous. kill him with kindness and all#the thing is I’ll be traveling south after the summer for uni so like what’s even the point of finding another job for a month and a half#:/ for real..#whimsical.txt
