i miss the era of internet where all we got were anime fansubs made by people who had the time to do what they enjoyed
#translations of everything have started to suck more and more each passing year. everything is rushed out so quick theres no time to#localize literally anything#this is specifically the OFFICIAL dunmeshi anime subtitles saying theres not going to b a duck with an onion or something#ok. that wouldnt have even needed localization. you just didnt translate the fucking thing. you cannot take a saying and directly translate#all the words in it and expect people to get it#also theres a culture of ppl who know a language being like 'uhm. why did you translate it like that when it literally means xyz'#like yeah sure i'm sure translating everything directly ignoring the original prose and flow and meaning is going to be great#yakuza is the only game series i trust to b translated properly tbh. bc of the safe sects joke.#i wish ppl hiring translators a very pay them more and give them more time to work#is this rant even coherent. after ages i managed to fall asleep around 4 am and sleep a whopping 2 hours before waking up#and then i tried to go back to sleep bc i am so incredibly tired but then the clock hit 8 am (i have one of those clocks that chimes every#hour) and i just gave up and decided i need to write down what ive been thinking about for#the past half an hour#though i feel this is missing over half the context i thought of but idk bc im so very tired gdhwbfks

I was talking to an idiot and I need validation.
#superman#clark kent#kal el#comics#dc comics#smallville#martha kent#jon kent#ma kent#pa kent#im gonna rant now. this isnt at you its at the dumb fuck who was commenting on my comment on tiktok.#YES! why the fuck wouldn't he be! he was ADOPTED to be adopted you gotta have the right paperwork in order. the person im mad at LITERALLY#SAID Clark was in an orphanage... lets put our thinking caps! if he was in an orphanage Ma and Pa gave him to the state and yk what! i bet#they thought he was an abandoned baby! no one knew he was an alien. if they didnt he would have been in a govt lab! and in a comic i read ma#and pa thought he was a nasa experiment! yk how they put dogs and moneys in orbit? they thought they did that with a baby! so they took him#ok ok ok then the person i was debating said ma and pa were CRIMINALS!!!!! THEY JUST SAID CLARK WAS IN AN ORPHANAGE!#SO MA AND PA FOUND A BABY. TURNED HIM OVER TO THE AUTHORITIES AND AFTER IT WAS PROVEN THAT HE HAD NO FAMILY THEY ADOPTED HIM!#all of that is legal! they made it sound like ma snuck into a house a stole a child! put some respect on the Kents!#and for why we were debating. he had to have been assigned an ID/ss number/citizen ship because he was to the govt an abandoned BABY#they made it sound like Clark was a 20 year old! he was at best a toddler. he didnt need to take a citizenship test or anything cus HE WAS A#BABY! he was just issued citizenship cus to the govt he was an abandoned baby in the usa WHERE EISE WOULD HE HAVE BEEN FROM!#cus i cant stress this enough NO ONE KNEW HE WAS AN ALIEN! (except maybe ma and pa)#the govt gave an abandoned baby in Kansas an us id cus THEY HAD NO REASON TO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE BABY FOUND IN A FEILD IN KANSAS WASN'T#BORN IN THE USA! and with all the paperwork they did on him they gave him us citizen rights like THE RIGHT TO VOTE#there are a million possibilities for why a baby would be abandoned in a feild in Kansas and it would take awhile to aliens#this is what i think the govt thought 'ok baby abandoned in a feild of a local couple. no family to be found. a young mother probably got#pregnant and didn't want to baby so she left it where a couple who couldn't have children could find them. oh look the couple wants to adopt#let them take the baby.' babys being abandoned was so common that safe haven laws were made to give mothers who didnt want their infants a#safe place to drop their kid off (usually a special box at a fire department or hospital)

ancient roman guy who goes to faraway exoctic lands but he only wants to eat bread olives & wine and wont try any of the local cuisine
#(roman version of american tourist that orders burger/british tourist that only orders fish anc chips at restaurants in faraway locales)#torn between this is martinus vs that man would eat literally anything you put in front of him tbh. i think its the latter. in fact i think#this is actually lfc..#though lfc is just a mega picky eater generally he has like 3 things he eats

tell me why i can hear another tenants fucking music from my flat. HE DOESNT EVEN LIVE IN MY BUILDING. HE LIVES IN A COMPLETELY SEPARATE BUILDING ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND I CAN HEAR HIS MUSIC FROM MY FLAT. MY FLAT WHICH IS IN A DIFFERENT SEPARATE BUILDING.
#and staff just say ‘oh we can’t do anything bc its not 11pm yet.’#ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS.#i am autistic person who has just spent a full 12hrs in extremely overstimulating public spaces#i am exhausted and i have had to wake up at ass o’clock in the fucking morning#every day for the past like week and a half and will be expected to do so for the forseeable future#i am extremely sensitive to noise and have no ability to zone things out#like everything is always at the same volume for me#all the fucking time no matter what#and they say like oh well in the community there wouldnt be anything to be done so we cant do anything here#BUT WE ARENT IN THE COMMUNITY. ARE WE. WE ARE AT A SUPPORTED LIVING ACCOMMODATION WHERE I HAVE BEEN PLACED#BY MY LOCAL AUTHORITY WHO ARE PAYING TWENTY THREE GRAND A YEAR#AND I AM PAYING FIVE HUNDRED A MONTH#IN ORDER TO RECIEVE SUPPORT FOR MY DISABILITIES. A BIG ONE BEING MY FUCKING AUTISM.#YOU KNOW. THE ONE WHICH IS BEING DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE BEHAVIOUR OF ANOTHER TENANT.#WHEN I AM BEING PUSHED TO MY LIMIT ALREADY. LIKE IDK FEELS KINDA CRAZY THAT THIS ISNT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE SORTED.#i fucking hate men there is just literally no fucking respect or consideration like its genuinely disgusting and so fucking infuriating#and like he says that staff (women. btw) are being too naggy about it. but never fucking stops to consider that maybe.#maybe people wouldnt have to ‘nag’ you about it IF YOU JUST. DIDNT DO THE THING THAT IS ACTIVELY CAUSING OTHER PEOPLE STRESS.#IDK FUCKING WILD IDEA JUST THOUGHT OF IT.#literally die i want everyone involved to die like I CANNOT DO THISSSSSSSSSSSS

while I always appreciate seeing non binary characters in games, it's always so funny to me when other characters in universe just, magically know their pronouns, when they really shouldn't lol
they introduced a nb character in xenoblade 3, and everyone is immediately refering to them by singular they/them pronouns, when they never really did the same for other characters unless referring to a person clad in armor (which said character isn't, you can easily see what they look like) or in a similar situation where they can't reasonably assume their gender/pronouns
I guess it's better than said character being misgendered in an annoying way, but the fact that so many fictional characters have a functional non binary radar is still something I'm endlessly amused by
#said character isn't particularly androgynous or anything either#which obviously isn't a pre requisite to being nb#but would at least justify the characters who never ever interacted with them knowing to treat them in a gender neutral way pff#I would maybe guess it's a translation issue where in Japanese they use a language that's more Coded as non binary#but I've seen this in other non Japanese media#so idk how much this can be attributed to localization or it's the best alternative people got to avoid misgendering them#or to avoid having in universe characters perceive them as masc/fem and give ammo to people who hate trans rep in media#like you can literally have a character look at the camera and say they're trans and people will still refute that character's gender#so maybe it's for the best to be as blunt and unsubtle about it as possible

Choji’s Team:
Cinderace (Partner Pokemon)
Monferno
Torracat
Castform (Sunny Day Form)
Litleo
Charcadet
Yes, Choji has three starter pokemon evolutions on his team. I couldn’t help myself and neither could he, apparently. Choji’s definitely been abroad a fair few times, both before and after becoming his town’s gym leader, and it’s like he’s got a sixth sense for finding the pokemon in each region that are going to give him the biggest challenge. The rarest and most difficult to catch have all been starter pokemon so far (and Castform, which he may or may not have stolen/liberated from a weather research facility in Hoenn). Cinderace is his ace (ha) pokemon, and it’s… totally because he’s got the kanji for rabbit in his name (correct me if I’m wrong but that’s why everyone uses the rabbit emoji for him, right?). Also fire types just felt fitting for Choji. Bright and burning like the sun, just like him! Hence why Castform is perpetually in its Sunny Day form. Monferno matches his acrobatics in a fight and Torracat is for Shishitoren!
As for Litleo… gonna be totally honest here, I briefly forgot Torracat existed and thought this was the closest I was going to get to a tiger. And then I did find Torracat, and I thought about dropping Litleo from the line-up. The eyes, though. Litleo’s damn eyes reminded me too much of Choji, so I kept it. Also it’s cute and I can very vividly imagine Choji play-wrestling with it. And probably playing soccer/football with Cinderace. Choji would dominate in a lot of sports but I’m partial to soccer, so. Might as well tack that headcanon on.
(Also, hey. If my very tired brain is misfiring at the moment and shishitoren’s animal is a lion, not a tiger? I did Litleo on purpose)
Last but not least, Charcadet. I said this in another post but I literally have no idea what goes on in Scarlet and Violet. I don’t know if this is a rare pokemon, or one Choji could feasibly have without completing some plot-relevant quest. But we’re throwing logic out the window for this one because I took one look at Charcadet and said, yeah, that’s Choji’s. No need to look for a backup sixth pokemon, that’s him all over. Tiny fire child warrior!! No regrets.
#king’s court#wind breaker#pokemon: verdant winds#tomiyama choji#you get it from togame’s post but Choji is like. almost never at the gym#he’s off doing literally anything else that catches his fancy#he’s not really being neglectful. they’re the eighth and final gym so they’re not getting the sort of traffic the early gyms are#and he does make sure togame’s around before he takes off#but he hates being cooped up all day when more often than not they don’t even get trainers coming through the challenge him#choji is def one of those gym leaders in the games that you have to find and convince to return to the gym#he’s out there playing with the local kids or climbing trees or just vibing with his pokemon#and some poor trainer has to approach him like. sir. please. I just need one more badge#kame-chan is there though! he says#trainer surmises this is togame he’s talking about#togame-san said you have to battle at least one person a week. the poor trainer reminds him. trying not to sound pushy#trainer has to help Choji wrap up whatever he’s doing and then they’re good but there’s a nerve wracking few seconds where trainer thinks#Choji’s gonna throw some sort of fit#except he’s not because if kame-chan says so then it’s fine~#anyway this got away from me#also he’s BELOVED by the region#because he’s so well traveled and because he’s eager to take on whatever challenges they have for him#it’s like togame says. he’s like the sun ☀️#people flock to him

how do i tell my roommate that her cat repeatedly pissing on and destroying my things is something that people usually offer to clean or replace or apologize for instead of shrugging off
#there's always garbage scattered along the floor she has a million shoes that somehow end up under my bed#she fucking leaves her cat alone for days and days bc 'if he gets hungry he'll rip open the cat food bag' ?????#her cat killed one of her turtles bc of their shitty housing and the other one's visibly terrified to bask in the fucking#led light that gives off no heat that i TOLD her was wrong and unhealthy months ago#she never cleans said turtle's tank even though the algae bloom is currently insane#her shit takes up like 80% of the room for exactly zero reason#and i cant use my closet because rascal pissed in it over the month long break and she did nothing about it#meaning the whole closet smells so much like piss that any clothes that stay there will smell like piss#it's fucking filthy in here and she never cleans obviously but it also makes it harder for me to clean bc her shit's everywhere#can you please maybe just take some of the trash out before you go cheat on your boyfriend please#(<- at least im pretty sure that's what's going on? might be more of an open relationship)#your cat is fucking violent and filthy because you never hang out with him or clean anything#and next year i'll be gone (im Not living like this for another year) and someone else is going to put you into debt#charging you for the things your cat ruined or they're going to abuse him again and you don't even seem to care#bc you're too busy buying sorority merch and thinking about new tattoos and shit#i want broke ppl to have fun and to buy/do things that make them happy but her negligence literally has a body count now#bc she refuses to keep a turtle she's had for over a year in anything but shallow unprotected tupperware#a small glass tank isn't that expensive especially not compared to tattoos!! you Can save for this#and more importantly you Should have saved for this before getting a fucking living thing in your house#she kept her dead turtle rotting in our room for about three weeks. just. in a cup by the sink#and there's nowhere the cat can't reach so im terrified every time i leave that he's gonna piss on my mattress or something#that i'd be financially responsible for (or else that'd leave the poor inheriter of this room in filth) and couldn't really clean properly#and unfortunately i like talking to her so much and im so dogshit with confrontation that i never say anything#world's biggest sucker award!! fucking. christ on a cracker#like he's pissed on my SHOES. he's scratching up everything in here#and i don't want to pay outta my ass or spend a bunch of time trying to fix her cat for her#because contrary to popular belief i have shit to do!! i do not have the energy to have a cat That's Why I Don't Have One!!!!!#and i can't go to the RA bc she's not supposed to have any of these animals#if rascal gets taken from her chances are he's gonna get euthanized at our local shelter and i can't take him in bc of my dogs#but why doesn't she ever stop to think about how this might be affecting me?? my standards are not that high!!!!

hiii please feel free to ignore this, but exactly how popular is afd party among german public? social media is giving a very skewed impression of the size of their voter base.. or maybe i am just in denial and hoping that it is not so popular 😅 i was surprised to see even a few people in their 20s praising their policies online
before the vote today they predicted the afd at 20%...... they're massively popular, second most voted party (at least in the predictions). theyre more popular in eastern germany (where im from too) but they gained popularity throughout all ages and regions. i don't think your perception is skewed at all, even young people (especially in the east i would say) are falling for the propaganda. i think tiktok had a huge influence on that bc the afd was such a big presence on there and other parties couldn't keep up with it fast enough which led to many young being going down the afd rabbit hole. i also think due to covid and the loneliness rates going up rapidly and young people being affected by it the most that also sent people down the conspiracy pipeline and made them more vulnerable for the alt right way of thinking (there was a study on this I did a paper on it's actually kinda scary). our own political bubble really warps our perception of how things actually are and that's the case for me too!
#asks#anon#i do think ppl praising the afd have never read their election program or watched a debate or anything#i had to put in the work to make my parents vote for a different party like they were convinced the afd would benefit them#but no they don't!!!#anyway they both voted democratically today#anyway yeah it's shocking that young people fall for it but at the same time is it really that shocking?#to add to the thing with my parents#my mom literally watched a regional debated from somewhere in south western germany so not even a local debate#and there was a disabled young woman and the afd candidate was so bad it literally turned my mom off of the party#we then talked about it a lot and she read the programs and everything and yeah#but i feel like if more younger people would tune into those debates they would see how insane that party truly is

#I’m literally addicted to being published#I just want my words everywhere#I recently got published in a local queer magazine that like 12 people read#I wrote about music#basically I recommended some gay and trans artists for like a thousand words in a cute little piece#and no I didn’t get paid or anything#I did it purely for the love of the game#aka#I want to let literally everyone know about my opinions any means necessary#slav#slav every day#voltron#I’ve also been academically published but that’s neither here nor there

ipod wrapped you listened to weird cybergrind 1937827 times
#last concert i went to the singer literally begged everyone to not use spotify. this was like a major artist too.#not a small local band like most shows i go to#if a band with over a million listeners a month says they don’t make anything off spotify you know it’s BAD

the first real experience I've had of being fascinated by technological developments in adulthood is getting on a bus that has charging ports in the seats and a screen displaying the route with an announcer.
#weirdly I'd only been thinking the literal Day before how anxious I feel while watching out for my stop when riding a new route#and the very next bus I get is a model that has announcements. love that.#technology can be very good. it's actually so comforting to know that all you need is one small working phone#and you have access to easy to follow maps and public transport information any time you want.#I'm usually kinda hard on apps. but ngl I do like being able to get one for our local buses#and you know. check on the status of the one that was 5 minutes away 10 minutes ago#it gives you that extra bit of confidence in the world of like. ok there's no way I can get lost or stranded because I can look up anything#crazy tho how I was commuting to uni 6 years ago on buses with regular seats and paper tickets#and in that time they've been completely overhauled lol#I keep forgetting how long 6 years actually is in terms of progress ...#I mean I actually do get paper tickets still bc I get too worried that my phone won't scan right lol#sorry these tags are longer than the actual post

i loathe discord for many reasons but one among them is the fact its impossible to have a conversation on so many servers because of how their channel rules work. if you want to share an image make sure you post it to the #media channel, BUT make sure that doesn't spark a conversation in the same channel! you must move to another channel for that. no #general isnt the right one thats for general chat (whatever that means if not this) have you maybe tried #off-topic or #memes? oh but some other people are talking about something in there already and you would be randomly shoving an unrelated message in between them and make it even harder to track what anyone is talking about or it just gets lost in the flood of messages? wait why aren't you posting at all what do you mean this is too much effort it's just a way to keep things more organised—
#eloise talks#local old man yells at clouds i know i know#and i know you can create little sub threads now but i have seen a total of 2 servers that i've joined that actually make use of that#and lets be real you dont want a thread for every little thing#i am terminally online but discord seems to require you are literally hooking your blood supply into the internet to follow anything#ANYWAY i dont want solutions to this or ways to use discord i just want to complain

30: Dawn
he'd stayed up all night for this. seeing the sun - the proper sun - crest the horizon again... it had all been worth it.
#miqomarch#miqomarch 2024#ffxiv miqo'te#final fantasy 14#seeker of the sun#shb spoilers in tags... beware#essentially he. was brought in like. a while after alphinaud but before alisaie#and spent a whole year on the first on his own - no selene no sagra#and since selene is his conduit: with none of his healing magic either.#so without any magic or any knowledge of the local plants#it was like he had been stripped of literally all purpose#which as you can imagine for a man who mostly views himself through the lens of 'how can i help others'#was not great for his mental health!#mostly he just became some sort of lydha lran cryptid of sorts#wandering the fog in old tattered voeburt clothes#waving a rusty old sword around to keep people out of the pixies' home#(since his soul is still owned by selene they couldn't really do anything to him)#which eventually ended with him having some sort of Thing with urianger#BUT. once sagra made it back with selene#and once they talked a lot of stuff out - its a long story -#there was definitely something like. oh. fuck. oh fuck yes this is the reason im here. this was worth it.#to see the relief on everyone's face on the crystarium#we're going thru shb again HEHE i have a lot of thoughts about himmm. my little GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#miqomarch fans how excited are we to almost be done btw???#m: o'nehgi

I changed colleges to study visual arts. dropped sociology after five years and being close to graduating, and yes it's as painful and humiliating as it sounds. but at this point if it swims like a duck (an artist) and quacks like a duck (an artist) the only thing left to do is to surrender to obvious destiny
#it's really funny to me. the transgender. people known to b eok with major life changes and decisions#to have been oblivious to this so long. but not really it all started in 2022 if im being honest#nothing that i studied resonated with me at all and anything close to actually making the sociology happen just wasnt enjoyable at all#it dawned on me last year when i didn't enjoy collaborating at a local trans org. neither in data processing or designing tools and stuff#and like. that was exactly what i dreamed of whne i was 18. and i just couldnt wait to go home and do literally anything else#also i just get stupider each passing year i couldnt pull it off anymore. all my last turned in work was embarrassing as fuck#sociology aborted me. thats it#in 4 years i'll be 28 so what's better than being 28 and doing what you can actually do and have new knowledge regarding it
