I never posted YUKKE here!!!

Software: Procreate

Brush: Nikko Rull (from the Aaron Griffin pack)

Thank You, Peter Cullen, from Saudi Arabia

On December 17, voice actor Peter Cullen received Life Time Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) for his contributions towards character development through voice acting

He is a legend for every Transformers fan out there (including me and many like me in Saudi Arabia) for being the voice of Optimus Prime. He has been the voice of the Autobot leader since the time when Hasbro partnered with Marvel to produce Transformers content in the form of comics and animated series (with Sunbow Productions)

Transformers' Saudi fandom first came across their content in 1989 as a VHS 📼 (sold by Almansour Video). The title of it was:

This was a pivotal moment. Not only were the kids introduced to one of Hasbro's most successful franchises but they would also learn that sometimes, even the good guys end up dead in their quest for justice and freedom. The scenes of Optimus Prime's death in this feature shook the kids down to the core. I still get teary-eyed when I see Prime on his deathbed saying:

"Do not grieve. Soon...I will be one with the Matrix"

This scene and the dialogues within, the conveying of emotions by Peter Cullen made the kids fans of Optimus for decades to come. But this wasn't the first time kids in Saudi Arabia came across Cullen's work

In 1979, a Hanna Barbera animated series slowly made its way to Saudi TV around 1982 and continued till '85. The series was Mighty Man and Yukk, a story of a superhero and his ugly dog (weird plot, I know) and in it, Peter Cullen and his long-time colleague, as well as friend Frank Welker, were the main voice actors with Cullen being Mighty Man while Welker being Yukk. Suffice it to say that it was one of the most popular animated series in the country but we never paid attention to credits since we were mostly school-going kids in KG or Primary at max

But what it did was introduce us to Cullen's voice acting before we actually came to know his name later in life

While today's generation of Millenials to Gen Z might know him from the latest Transformers productions in Hollywood, on Netflix, or video games, we the 80s fandom will always remember Peter Cullen for Mighty Man and Transformers, even though his body of work goes back to Sonny and Cher show and covers even children's features like Winnie the Pooh in which he voiced Eeyore

I hope one day we get to host him in Jeddah

FUN FACT: Peter Cullen is also the voice behind Ironhide in the Transformers G1 animated series

リフレクト

Reflect

鏡の中の醜いキミ

You, the ugly one in the mirror

キミはいつだって嫌がった

I've always hated you

独りにはもう慣れたと　繋がりを遠ざけた

So used to being alone, you kept everyone at arm's length

.

鏡の中の醜いキミ

You, the ugly one in the mirror

キミはいつだって嫌がった　

I've always hated you

幸せはいらないと　権利を放棄した

Deciding you didn't need happiness, you gave up your rights

鏡の中の醜いキミ

You, the ugly one in the mirror

キミはいつだって嫌がった

I've always hated you

死ぬ勇気はないからと　義務を受け入れた

Since you haven't the courage to die, you resigned to duty

.

死にたいとほざきながらも

You prattle on about wanting to die

今もこうして生きている

Yet even now you're still living on this way

キミが生きてることで誰かが傷つくんだよ

And in living, you're hurting someone

誰にも愛されないキミは

You can't be loved by anyone

誰にも求められないキミは

You aren't sought out by anyone

そう　独りだよ

Yes, you're alone

.

大きなコエで叫んでさ

You screamed as loud as you could

キミは鼓動の音をかき消しただろ

And so drowned out the sound of your heartbeat

それでも誰の耳にも入らない

And yet still no one heard you

大きくため息をついてさ

You heaved a heavy sigh

キミは呼吸の仕方を忘れただろ

And so forgot how to breathe normally

それでも誰の耳にも入らないよ

And yet still no one heard you

.

鏡の中の醜いキミ

You, the ugly one in the mirror

キミはいつだって嫌がった　

I've always hated you

嫌われたくないからと　自分を放棄した

You don't want people to dislike you, so you gave up on yourself

鏡の中の醜いキミ　

You, the ugly one in the mirror

キミはいつだって嫌がった　

I've always hated you

愛されはしないと　自分を受け入れた

You won't ever be loved, so you resigned to yourself

.

誰もいらないと強がり　

You pretend not to need anyone,

今も向こうで泣いている

Yet even now you're crying on the inside

キミが生きてることは誰も気づかないんだよ

No one even notices that you're alive

誰も愛せないキミは

You can't love anyone

誰にも求めないキミは

You can't seek out anyone

そう　独りだよ

Yes, you're alone

.

���しい光に眩んでさ

You were blinded by a dazzling light

キミは自分の輪郭を忘れただろ　

And so forgot your own silhouette

それでも誰の目にも留まらない

And yet it didn't catch anyone's eye

汚れた鏡を打ち割って　

You broke that dirtied mirror

キミはボクと会うのを嫌がったろ　

Because you didn't want to see me

それでも誰の目にも留まらないよ

And yet it didn't catch anyone's eye

.

いつものように雨降りの夜　

It was drizzling rain that night like always

ボクは傘も差さずに歩いた

I walked along without putting up an umbrella

周りの家から漏れるあたたかい光の数におびえながら

While I shrank back from the warm lights spilling out from the houses around me

無機明かりの街灯の下　

Beneath the glow of a cold streetlamp

光を反射する水たまり

There was a puddle that bounced back the light

そこに映るのは紛れもなく　

And reflected back in there was none other than

キミだった　

You

ボクだった

Me

そう　ボクは独りだ

Yes, I'm alone

.

聞こえない耳をふさいでさ　

I cleared out my ears so I could finally hear

ボクは鼓動の音を確かめた

And I knew the sound of my heartbeat

なるほど誰の耳にも届かない

I see now, the sound hadn't reached anyone

大袈裟に息をとめてさ

I stopped my overblown sighs

ボクは呼吸をしてたことに気づいた　

And realized that I had been breathing

なるほど誰の耳にも届かないな

I see now, the sound hadn't reached anyone

.

眩んだ瞳をあければ　

When I opened my blinded eyes

醜いボクの姿が見えたんだ　

I could see my own ugly form

なるほど誰の目にも映らない

I see now, no one else could see it

割れた破片を集めて　

I gathered up the broken pieces

ボクはキミとはじめて向き合った　

And I faced you for the first time

なるほど誰の目にも映らないな

I see now, no one else could see it

.

なるほど僕はひとりだった

I see now, I had been alone

I HAVE LISTENED TO LEONEEDS APPLE SALESGIRL I HAVE WON MASSIVELY

[koumeowkami]

so i'm watching the i★chu anime for funsies (cause i can't be bothered to sit through the whole main story from the game) and it feels so damn weird. it's basically a mix of some other franchises i've been through till now... so um *checks notes*

this whole thing happens in an academy for idols and the mc is a producer (enstars)

the units get kicked out if they don't sell (dearvo)

the principal is a teddy bear (dearvo... even tho that's actually a panda but let's not fuss over the details)

the units then participate to a show that features japan's best new idols (i7)

there's yet another couple of twins... and they have their own unit... their colors are blue and pink... they're really close and care for each other a lot... they're pranksters... they make techno pop music... (🤨)

there's anOTHER CHARACTER NAMED KANATA WHAT THE HELL. this is like the 4th time dude

there's a unit of 3 goth edgy magicians and their leader is a bit of an oddball (undead x switch collab omg. the leader thing applies to both rei and natsume btw)

there's a very insufferable kid with pink hair and green eyes voiced by ayumu murase (kokoro isn't even that bad. i've seen worse tori)

there's this guy voiced by massun that reminds me of haruta (hanadoll) SO MUCH. so i'm mentioning that

and yeah i'd like to say that in this franchise there's EVERY va i always find in any other franchise ever. so congrats ig
