Truly annoying when most of a song fits Things and Situations perfectly but there's one line or verse that just throws the entire thing off. How dare.

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'm absolutely positive one of the interview questions the Haitani's have is if you can fight.

There's a well-known restaurant chain in the USA that also asks potential employees if they're able to fight bc it's something that just kinda happens at this particular chain.

I also think Ran would ask shit like "So, you wake up for your shift and you've been turned into a worm. What's next?"

Oh yeah they definitely would, if someone says yes then they ask for a demonstration too (typically Rindou is the one they challenge to fight) it throws a lot off their applicants off.

Ran asks what they do if they've turned into a worm and both the Haitani's lean forward with very serious looks as they wait for the answer meanwhile the poor applicant is internally freaking out. The Haitani's ask such random questions because they never looked into what is typically asked so instead they just ask whatever comes to mind during the interview. Plus they like seeing how people react to the questions.

Erzsebet Bathory- Thematic Character Analysis

I've seen a lot of posts about Erzsebet Bathory, and the general sense is that while her design is cool, she's not very well-developed or impressive from a character standpoint. I agree... Somewhat.

I'm going to get into it below, but the TL;DR version is that from a characterization standpoint, she is weak, but from a thematic standpoint, she is Everything.

Disclaimer: I have not been fortunate enough to play any of the games, so this analysis will focus solely on the show. <3

First, what do vampires mean in storytelling?

A vampire can symbolize many things, but here are the big three: they're a representation of the Other, the unknown (kind of like Frankenstein's Monster), but they can also be a manifestation of carnal, sinful, or deviant desires (think Dorian Grey). The one I'm going to focus on here, as it's the most relevant, is the third main type: the Parasite. Vampires are bloodsucking, gluttonous, selfish starving monsters that consume and consume until there is nothing left (think Robert Baratheon).

This was a theme that was explored in the first series with the Church's opulence and their desire to sacrifice innumerable human lives for the sake of their image and power. Carmilla is the same, but in contention with the Church.

This theme is expanded upon beautifully in Nocturne, with the French Revolution bourgeoise and American colonization and slave trade building upon the themes of the first series. Olrex talks about his home being destroyed, his lover's people being exterminated but holding onto his identity even in undeath. Annette holds onto her Yoruban faith and her Creole heritage taught to her by her mother and fellows even after generations of cultural genocide at the hands of her masters- a combination of more than one old indigenous faith and newer conglomerations of the same. (In this way, one could say that Erzsebet Bathory and Annette are foils!)

How does Erzsebet Bathory fit into this thematically?

Let me explain it like this: Erzsebet Bathory is a white woman dripping in stylized opulence who swallowed an Egyptian god. The truest enemy in this series is colonialism: the consumption of everything and everyone that isn't white and Christian to expand white and Christian ideals and desires using God as a face for their misdeeds- the consumption of people, land, culture, religion, knowledge, kindness. What could not be consumed was destroyed.

In this way, Erzsebet Bathory is the manifestation of all the greatest evils people of color and minorities have ever faced, and continue to face today: that of homogenization, exploitation, and destruction.

The fact that this is expanded by her vampiric elitism builds upon this idea by including all human beings. It's open knowledge among many anthropological circles that colonization destroyed a lot of technology, culture, and knowledge, has held society back, and continues to lead to unnecessary and painful struggle among society (largely due to that fact that many developed nations' governments are still being run by vampires today- how are all my fellow Americans doing as we barrel toward a government shutdown for this very reason?).

Erzsebet Bathory signifies the consumption of the human spirit and the death of mankind, wrapped up in a beautifully terrifying amalgam of every single sin the colonizers ever committed. She's not the ultimate character of Nocturne by a long shot, but she is the ultimate monster.

Well friends, it’s happening.

I’m going to the auditions for The Outsiders tour.

Am I going to get seen? Probably not! But if I do…

Wish me luck!!

hello mars you’re probably getting tired of me sending you songs in the askbox but

I never wanted to, I didn't wanna fall I don't believe that love's a good idea at all Oh, this well-designed woe Everyone that I know is broken And has fell for it before And sometimes I think I'm doing fine I think I'm pretty smart I'm quite convinced that I Can keep myself up high Oh, then the walls become thin And somebody gets in, I'm defenseless But it won't happen again It probably won't happen again But there's something about you There's something about you There's something about you I wanna risk going through Future heartbreak, future headaches Wide-eyed nights late lying awake With future cold shakes from stupid mistakes Future me hates me for, hates me for It's getting dangerous I could get hurt I know I've counted up the cons They far outweigh the pros Oh, and the floodgates are down It's the Marlborough sounds, I am drowning It's too late for me now I need you sticking around 'Cause there's something about you There's something about you There's something about you I wanna risk going through Future heartbreak, future headaches Wide-eyed nights late lying awake With future cold shakes from stupid mistakes Future me hates me for, hates me Future heartbreak, future headaches Wide-eyed nights late lying awake With future cold shakes from stupid mistakes Future me hates me for, hates me for Future heartbreak, future headaches Wide-eyed nights late lying awake With future cold shakes from stupid mistakes Future me hates me for, hates me for Future heartbreak, future headaches Wide-eyed nights late lying awake With future cold shakes from stupid mistakes Future me hates me for, hates me Future heartbreak (Walls become thin and somebody gets in) Future cold shakes
