"Medusa x Perseus" Why don't you guys ship Bellerophon with Chimera? Or Heracles with the Hydra?
#greek mythology#medusa#perseus#ramblings#Yes I know that Medusa has a more humanoid appearance and human intellect compared to the other female monsters#But she is still a monster#She was supposed to have a monstruous appearance but then people made her dirty#Imagine if I would turn the Minotaur into a hot guy with horns and then ship him with Theseus AKA his own killer#I know it sounds ridiculous but this is exactly how some people out there sound too#Why can't we acknowledge that one doesn’t need to be conventionally attractive in order to deserve empathy or understanding?#Or that a woman can be evil and malevolent without a tragic background story that turn all women into victims and all men into assholes?#And why do we have to come up with the most stupid pairs to ever exist?#My tags are becoming more and more distant from the post's subject but my FYP is full of this type of BS so here I am#Thanks for my (salty) Ted Talk!

theres sth deeply sad abt a lot of translated works (and i dont mean some ya novel translated frm english to french. obviously.) in the imperial core being shortened/abridged bc the translator deemed those parts unimportant or straight up didnt have the cultural/historical/religious knowledge to understand WHY theyre important... not to mention how they tend to be biased in their translating to pigeonhole sfuff into western frameworks of thought like 😭
#yes i am still salty as hell abt the amnt of shitty jttw and rotk translations out there...#arthur waley is my personal nemesis... not as much as marcus' tho he truly hates that man but im like. somewhere in the top10 for sure#i also loathe how theres this trend in western tl of eastern works to like... literally translate namea.#cicada for diaochan (rotk). trinket for xiaobao (tdatc). MONKEY???? FOR SUN WUKONG??? I STILL HATE THIS THE MOST. JTTW ISNT EVEN CALLED JTTW#HE NAMED THE BOOK MONKEY AND WAS DONE WITH IT HE USED OBJECT NAMES AS THE CHARACTER NAMES I WANT THAT MAN DEAD THRICE OVER#ling.txt#there are wayy more examples btw but this is why u need footnotes in ur translations idfc if u think it's clunky#or takes away from the immersion or whatever the fuck it's better than being an ignorant piece of shit bc the tl ur reading SUCKS

ive been rereading tnp and it’s bothering me so much i need to mention it here; it’s kind of insane how much the erins bend over backwards to make brambleclaw deputy, it’s kind of just nonsensical.
not even him not having an apprentice when he’s picked, though that is kind of wild, he just… there’s basically no good reason other than him being a main pov character and tigerstar’s son. literally any other thunderclan warrior who’s had an apprentice (barring maybe ashfur) would have been a better choice. thornclaw dustpelt sandstorm cloudtail brackenfur- brackenfur is one that firestar explicitly considers and the reasoning why he decides not to is so incredibly weak ‘oh i dont think he’d be right for leader’ number one what are you talking about number 2 then use him being deputy as an opportunity to help him become right for leader are you telling me firestar thinks the cat he once considered letting die in a fire is a better fit for leader than the cat he half mentored. dustpelt is clearly an experienced warrior, sandstorm is someone firestar obviously has faith in, thornclaw is experienced and i’m pretty sure you even see firestar consult him a few times (cloudtail is iffy bc thats cloudtail but he’d really be a better choice, just how he treats daisy and her kits would be an interesting justification for firestar making him second-in-command) but honestly besides the narrative jumping through hoops to act like the other very viable options are either secretly bad choices or otherwise ignore them (why is bramble the only cat we ever see jump to help firestar with stuff they just wrote everyone else to be silent or w/e) but in twilight where he arguably acts the most like de-facto deputy in leaf and squirrel’s pov he’s framed as a jackass half the book??? why would you do that if you intend to make him actual leader?? in his trial run of being kinda-not-deputy you just make him use his semi-authority to be cold and fucking mean to his friend and her buddy??? like i see him being qualified due to having experience being the travel group’s leader and whatnot, but barely anything else is done to make him realistically more qualified than anyone else- he just angsts about his ambitions and gets handed the position because starclan vouched for him for some damn reason even though by his society’s laws he should not be in that position
#sorry its just really bothering me bc i am NOT seeing why he should be deputy#warrior cats#salty talks#the new prophecy#i dont hate tnp i just hate the bramble wants to be deputy plot he does not deserve that shit#not even on the level of him being a shitty guy or anything he literally should not have been picked#its probably the most egregious example of the authors just forcing a plot point instead of like. building it up realistically#literally in twilight he just comes off like he’s going to be a cold distant asshole as deputy it’s not a good look#opposed to firestar being deputy gaining his position while qualified and also through the understandable logic of bluestar’s mental state#fire just picks bramble be leafs like hey starclan says so and fires like oh ok even tho he’s literally not qualified#and also barely seems like he’d be a good choice anyways despite having been a main pov character#yes im complaining abt bad writing in the Bad Writing Cat Books leave me alone this is bothering me#adding while i read sunset; i will concede that this one does a better job building him up as possible deputy with the trust he’s given#its still just. why him (besides him being the mc) why is no one else given this trust or somewhat filling this role the same way#i feel like it would be more interesting if someone else got chosen over bramble and he had to be at peace with that#instead of oh he gets what he wants yayyy. idk switch the fox trap scene to hawkfrost trapping the new deputy#i feel like bramble not being deputy would be interesting like helps him realize that he doesnt need to be in a position of power#for his clanmates to trust him and rely on him if hes still worried abt the tigerstar’s kin thing and maybe confront tigerstar abt it

Okay so again I haven’t caught up but from everyone’s reactions
I’m finding it really funny when I think about Mew from Only Friends and Tai from La Pluie because the narrative seems to be doing the same thing for them and yet the reactions are vastly different.
Both are seemingly meant to be unlikeable protaganists, for very different reasons.
Yet Tai, who was over all a good person who wanted what was best for those around him, even if he was selfish and self centered, was widely disliked by a lot of people and criticized by the fandom
Yet Mew, who isn’t a good person, who is also selfish and self centered, has people defending his actions as if he’s the most perfect person in the world.
Like damn
#only friends#only friends the series#la pluie#ofts#tai lp#mew ofts#this is not me criticizing those who like mew btw#nor is it me criticizing book#i like mew#i like what i’ve seen in terms of the narrative#yes i’m not caught up#but mew being unlikeable is not a new thing#it’s been there from day one#yet the reactions#anyway can you tell i’m still a little salty about the fandoms reaction to tai?#because i am#also book is killing this role and everyone needs to understand that#so many different emotions#honestly fandom reaction is a big part of why i’m not caught up#it’s fun to read the meta#even if I’m not watching#but some of the fandom reactions have been a massive yikes#especially in terms of reactions to ray and his mental health and passive suicidal ideations#and in terms of forcebook vis a vis topmew#anyway#ignore me#this has been a very salty post#i’m entitled to those once in a while#this post may self destruct#cap speaks

I've been in the fucking trenches all week running on abysmally small amounts of sleep on account of several 9 am classes back to back, HOWEVER, I also got mods working on my Terra alt and it's had a catastrophic effect on my brainspace as of late. Giggling and spinning the camera around him for several hours while my partner's screaming and crying and wailing at me in vc to PLEASE just unlock dungeons and continue the main story
#saltfish games#ffxiv#kh#kh terra#yes im still gonna continue tweaking him later bc theres some mods i want on him that also break Other mods i have enabled for him#and its a whole mess of a jigsaw circus that i am not looking forward to wrangling but. i will. for Him#'salty arent there actual terra hair mods' yes. exactly one ripped directly from kh3. unfortunately its fitted horribly onto ffxiv models#so ill just deal and maybe bug a friend into helping with making a vanilla hair mashup to just cobble together something#that resembles the way i draw his hair myself FGSJDNSNDNSH#in case this takes off and people start wondering why the hell he has sideburns: thats just how i like to draw him dw abt it. hes Scruffy#and technically i do also have a mod for his canon outfit but it breaks the body replacement mod im using for him as a base 😔 sad. oh well#anyway. something so moe abt middie huyrs. its enchanted me

love opening up tumblr for the first time in a hot minute and immediately seeing bg3 disk horse posts
it's been TWO GODDAMN MONTHS, oh my god i hate it, i hate all of you. fandom was a mistake, i should just try to never like anything. i didn't even get to exist in a fandom space that wasn't passively shitting on me for more than two months.
#bog post#stay salty#fandom bs#yes i realize that fans of any given thing can be annoying#it still makes me - a person who enjoys the same thing as a lot of annoying fans#without actually bothering anyone and just doing my own thing -#feel shitty when liking of that thing is necessarily equated with people rude entitled and terrible#like i'm not even involved why am i in the fucking splash zone#it makes me want to be much quieter about my bg3 stuff in shared spaces#bc through no fault of my own the characters i make and like to romance#have gone from value neutral to 'ugh god that's so annoying' it feels like overnight

"The herd prefers to travel at night."
YES! FREAKIN' THANKYOU, DINOSAUR DOCUMENTARY! An Actual representation of desert culture! See, peeps? Even dinosaurs know not to travel in a desert during day time. Why are humans who don't live there so stupid when it comes to things regarding that kind of region?
#am I still salty about inaccurately false representation? why yes I am#i grew up in a desert region and it grinds on my nerves whenever i see the blunders in media and art and fics#desert

If shootout goals don't count as individual player points, they shouldn't be allowed to determine the final point distribution of the game either.
#bring back ties#if someone doesnt win in the 5 minute OT period both teams get a point and that's it#why am i still raging over shootouts at this time of night?#am i mostly salty that those beauty SO goals from mitch and auston don't help pad their season stats? yes i am#hockey#toronto maple leafs

Freed from hsr trailblaze quest finally and just whooooaaaa... Can Shaoji keep writing for other worlds too please? He's so good with it.
#aria rants#i was tryna take my time with it but then i realized the time getting too late (finished at 3 am bro ough.....) so i sped through a bit#was just letting it autoplay (cn voices are rlly nice to listen to) and exploring new areas but alas... i shouldve woke up earlier today#but maaaaaan in a writing perspective it's really gooood... esp the new switching pov mechanic which made everything so much better#every lil moment is important to the penacony story! everyone got so mad for sparkle's comment of ''find a mute to befriend''#only for it to later be revealed to be an Actual hint for aven (which i still think to be ratio in disguise during the sparkle encounter)#like whoaaa..... so she didn't just say that to be mean? she said a hint? whooooaaaa... truly a Masked Fool bro#also. also! THIS! is how you write a story with very intricate plans that unfolds as you go. im sorry im still a bit salty with part2#of sumeru. like yes. i know... i Knoooow they're two different games and stories but the setup is similar in that both#situations had high stakes and intricate plans but MYGOD!!! sumeru did it so poorly... why give me the step by step#AS the plans are being enacted??? give me the step by step AT THE END or around that point. like with aven's plans unfolding#during that moment with the representation of his past and future. and it just kept unfolding after that! THATS! how its done#i really. REALLY love stories with intricate plans during high stakes moments that the audience is kept in the dark until the#big reveal. its one of my favourites that detective conan manages to do well during important arcs. i like being mindblown!#blow my mind with the characters' wits and ideals and plans! show me how it's done and tell me how it was planned after showing me#i finally have my peace from the tragedy of that very setup during part2 of sumeru from penacony. thank you shaoji.

Sometimes I think I like my coworkers as people but then they go gossip about a dude with long hair, whine about jobless people receiving THEIR MONEY (taxes) so they get paid for doing nothing, a homeless man owning 1 nice jacket he paid for in cash, someone being too fat to fit into our chairs, trans people existing and misgendering them afterwards even when they already said what they're pronouns are(especially funny after the 'oh no idc/am fine w/ trans ppl-just curious and don't understand it fully but i am fine w/ them no problems there'-chats), about gay men being too flamboyant bc that other gay man isn't, about us paying for inmates' wages (again-taxes, also where do you think your money is going into eventually anyway? our wages are also paid for by other ppl-money is supposed to move around??), about how there were so many covid regulations and suddenly there is nothing about it so that means it was all a hoax and not that covid is still there and killing but it'd be too expensive to keep up quarantine so it was faded out despite still being on going
sometimes it's really fucking hard to like people when you fundamentally disagree with how they want other people to be treated or what they get mad about
#txts#the FUNNIEST thing btw#the guy who is all mad about HIS MONEY paying for those meany prisoners#is ACTIVELY trying to win the lottery#which-very much not his hard earned money now is it?#its amazing how angry or even just annoyed you can be at people living#and mostly at people living shit lives#yes i also get salty knowing i work my ass off for nothing#which is why-and get this#i am looking to switch jobs#and i still make more than ppl w/out jobs who have to rely on government pay#bc thats how this shit works#they get like 500bucks a month#or start on that depending on many multiple factors#+- anything they might get approved for rent wise#but i DO have about twice that much left AFTER i pay rent+utilities#and i KNOW those coworkers have more#bc our company goes by old-school system of: the longer you work there the more you make#and ignores who does more work or less#bc otherwise i'd actually make more than i do rn for taking care of the workshop#also salty about that but hey#job change#rant#venting

Was talking to my boss last week about the opening to backfill her old job and despite the fact that I am without question the most qualified person BY FAR from a subject matter perspective, she effectively told me that she's not going to hire me because the role is going to be more heavily focused on "relationship management". The best part of all is that I'm pretty certain she's known for at least the past 3 months that she wasn't planning to move me up into her new role, and hence did NOTHING to help me build up my "relationship management" skills in preparation for the role.
#yes I'm salty about this#I'm still putting in for it anyway#because I want her to have to explain to my team#and at least 1/2 the department#why someone who knows NOTHING about what we do#is a more qualified candidate than I am#😡😡😡😡😡😡
