Discussed starter for @ambulance-mom / @rose-son
"Wake me if you need anything, okay Steven?"
Her parting words for the night had still echoed in Connie's mind as she'd settled in to sleep on the couch. It had been several weeks since what Steven was calling his 'meltdown', and he seemed to be well on the road to recovery... but even still, the girl knew that full healing would take time yet. Her part was simply to be there for Steven every step of the way, whatever form that took.
Right now, the form it took was staying over in the beach house with him for the weekend. She wasn't trying to get too in his face if he needed his space, of course; but they'd both agreed to this. She loved spending time with him anyway, of course; and this way, she was just downstairs from his room, right there in case he needed anything at all.
Tumblr media
A few hours later, Connie felt something jerk her back to wakefulness. For long moments she lay there in the dark, unable to put a finger on what had woken her. She fumbled blearily with her phone, which proclaimed the time to be just after 3 AM, as the last traces of a dream about accidentally taking Lion to school with her and trying to hide him from her teachers poked at the edge of her subconsciousness where she wasn't quite sure if they were real or not...
Then she heard it again: what sounded like an anguished groan from upstairs. All at once fully alert, Connie wasted no further time; in one swift move she was off the couch and scampering up the stairs to her boy's room. Pausing outside the door, she knocked gently before poking her head around the frame.
Tumblr media
"Steven...? Are you okay...?"

"While I can't deny that would be amazing, I'm not one to run away from my world. There will always be ways to rebuild in the aftermath, no matter what happens; and I plan to do my part."
Still, she smiled, appreciating Spinel's suggestions; and her eyes had visibly lit up at the idea. Space was pretty incredible - even being marooned on a moon as Stevonnie for several days that one time hadn't changed her opinion on that - but whenever she'd been out there it had always seemed to be on a gem mission or other. Not exactly time for a lot of sightseeing.
Maybe what Spinel described could be a good honeymoon for her and Steven in the future, though? Something to think about.
Tumblr media
"No way, really...?"
And that just got a jaw drop out of the girl. In a way it shouldn't have been surprising, Yellow Diamond had electricity powers after all; but it hadn't even occurred to Connie that she could harness them into a form of renewable energy. Now that the thought had been presented, though...
"Oh, I've got to talk to her about that sometime. If Earth could adopt that kind of energy, it would be big progress towards solving a whole lot of humanity's current problems..."
“Is that right? Well, would you want to live in space? I’m sure you and Steven would love exploring different worlds together,” said Spinel who felt if humanity is doomed, then why not leave before it all falls apart.
She then heard how humanity need a new source of energy or it’ll collapse. She thinks about this before she remembered something.
“Yellow Diamond did say she did find something that’ll solve any energy problems they’d have,” in fact, what she find could even stop gems from using worlds to make more of themselves.

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

I actually took so many screens I’m sticking a few under the cut- 😂 also there’s a single n*pple visible below the cut so watch out
Tumblr media
Honestly having Cash taking a whizz on the tire was me thinking about those Sunscreen bottles where the dog is tugging the kiddos swim bottoms? I thought it would be cute and funny x’) I sent screens to my friends and had to ask if I was doing the Thirst Trap right 😂
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Taking the screens of Uri and Mochi together was “I want Deity-Style Perfume Advert” and then I spent three hours spinning the camera at max speed and wailing and crying I love these SO MUCH they might end up in their own post later with some flourishy description maybe but!!! ENJOY ENJOY !!!! Showering you in flower petals!!!!!

OK LAST ONE AND THEN I CAN DO UNI
*ahem* presenting: the 2nd brainworm
-
The palace was covered in red as more and more blood spilled. A cacophony of shouts, screaming, and running while every suitor, who dared to settle themselves in the king's home, were taken down one by one.
He went for the torches, cutting off their sight, playing with their ears, laughing while they fought to survive. 108 men sat in this castle for two years, and now it was down to just one.
Antinous panted as he tried to find some exit, some escape, out and away from here. The title didn't mean anything to him now. Two years of planning and waiting and patience and dominance all flushed down the drain when the old man he overlooked at the challenge was none other than Odysseus himself.
He was far from the Odysseus Antinous remembered from 20 years ago. The youth and innocence gone from his features that are still present in his own son, something he couldn't help but envy. The noble and general nature that Antinous heard stories of ten years now morphed into savagery and bloodlust. The Odysseus he saw now was no man. The Odysseus, who stared him down while the arrow flew through the axe heads, was nothing like any man Antinous ever faced.
The shot was quick. Antinous didn't even feel the arrow pierce him until he was falling to the floor. It struck the back of his knee, forcing him to crawl, to kneel.
"Poseidon screamed louder."
He could not bare to look back. To look over his shoulder and see the monster towering behind him, calming approaching his prey. Crimson pools staring back at him like the wolves that border the kingdom's forests.
"I suppose that's because he didn't expect being stabbed for that long. That's the funny thing about godhood: you can't die, but you can still bleed. You get to experience pain still but without the worry of death."
Antinous was going to die. Terror choked his throat. He could barely breathe. Much less speak or beg for mercy.
"Do you want to see how I made a god bleed?"

besides legends arceus causing the whole "oh riley is actually really old (and at one point went by rye)" braincell it also led to other Fun Ideas about ancestry and dealing with who people expect you to be contrasting with who you really are :) especially with marley's japanese name (mai) becoming the english name for her ancestor and thus joining rye in being the stat trainer ancestors who share the same name origin as their present-day descendants/selves :) :) (also they were specifically made a team in the BDSP battle tower which might not mean much but i'm thinking about it now anyway)

@blackstardiopside / from (x)

"That'd be great, actually. Thanks, Black Star."
She followed the gem's gesture, stepping into the cabin and setting down the small bag containing just her night clothes and a few other essentials. It had been a long time since Connie had felt like she couldn't handle being on her own, she was usually good about having the house to herself on the occasions when it happened. But somehow, today...
At the little cat's demand for attention, the girl obligingly crouched down and held out a hand, inviting Marshmallow to step closer for some petting if desired. Even as she did, though, she glanced back up at Black Star, feeling like she owed the other an explanation.
Tumblr media
"It's nothing major; just sometimes the house feels so empty when Mom and Dad are out of town, you know? I know they're fine, they're just travelling to see distant relatives, but..."
It was silly to worry; her parents were so big on safety precautions there was no way anything would catch them unawares, and they were texting her regularly to check in. Didn't stop her from being just a bit irrationally apprehensive, though.

{♚ x @draconisa x}
Continued from here
 Getting woken up by a fire alarm at 3 in the morning sucked, regardless of how old you were. So Matt could more than emphasize with the child who was so intent on making its grief known to anyone who would listen — or was forced to listen, anyway. Hell, if it wasn’t frowned upon, he might very well be doing the same. He hardly got enough sleep as it was, even without a fire alarm waking him just as he’d finally managed to fall asleep.
 Why, exactly, he felt the need to offer his help, however, Matt wasn’t too sure. Although he wasn’t unfamiliar with the pair, they’d never spoken before. There’d been some interactions through their windows that happened to face each other, especially with the kid, but that was as far as it had gone. He didn’t even know their names. So there was a moment in which he wondered if she’d take offense to his offer, or perhaps would feel the need to grow defensive.
Tumblr media
 Fortunately, neither seemed to be the case and he took the blanket from her when offered. “Of course.” But then he had an idea that might just work to improve the kid’s mood. Kneeling down, he tucked the blanket beneath one arm, while his other hand disappeared in the pocket of his jacket for moment. “Hey, kid. Look what I just found.” When he pulled his hand back out of his pocket, he held a piece of candy between his fingers. Good thing he always carried some on him. “You want it?” Before handing it off, however, he looked up at the girl. “If that’s alright with you, of course. I know it’s the middle of the night and all.”
