How it feels to imagine a female character's voice as deep when you read the source and then watch an adaptation that gives her some Elmo ass voice

[kamyiin]

It’s never too late

6 hour workday maximum i’m not kidding, if it can’t be done in that timeframe it doesn’t need doing.

[vmprblood]

this doesn't apply to jobs like childcare

[transmechanicus]

If i worked in childcare and my 6 hours were up i would start putting babies in ziploc bags and shipping them to Turkmenistan listed as endangered fruits and vegetables

Me: oh no! I'm a trans man being sexually assaulted! Good thing I have my birth certificate on me (which is conveniently marked female of course) so that I can prove to my assaulter that I'm actually female!

Assaulter: *stops assaulting me to thoroughly read my birth certificate* oh my apologies! When I assaulted you for your gender nonconformity I believed you were a trans woman! I am very educated on trans identity and so I now know that is untrue. Now that I know that you have an f on your birth certificate I will no longer assault you now, because people viewed as cis women are never sexually assaulted for gender nonconformity.

Me: thank you for your understanding. Now that you have stopped this has completely undone all the previous emotional trauma of your assault. Have a nice day!

Rulan, after JW Waterhouse’s Cleopatra.

I decided that this would be titled “Rulan” rather than “Jin Ling”, with the thought that the setting of the painting, somewhere in Koi Tower, is one where people are more likely to call him Jin Rulan. I also considered titling it “(New) Sect Leader Jin” but I thought that would be confusing, and “Rulan” better parallels the original painting title.

Initial sketch is here!

Do you know how hard it is to find a reference for Fairy? I liked the fluffy slightly dopey (for a husky) looking version in the live action drama, only turned up two blurry dog images in my searches (everything else was a winged humanoid fairy), so went looking on Pexel for “red husky” to try and get some better reference so she didn’t look too whack. Here are a few!

some of yall do need to get more feminist for real

I thought it'd be interesting to put all the colours of the Arcana characters' sprites into gamut and HSV graphs to see any patterns

The colour design of the Arcana is still incredible, and this is great design to see the unique trends per character

[wizardarchetypes]

okay already i desperately need u.s. americans to practice the phrase, "not where i'm from, but maybe in other parts of the u.s."

because it's genuinely insane the things i've heard americans say 'america doesn't have' when it's just factually incorrect.

for some perspective: during my longest move i did by-car in the u.s., i drove ~3,000 miles. That's ~4,800 km. It took nearly 50 hours drive-times alone. Meaning, if I could have driven without stopping once, it would have taken nearly 50 hours. Of course I split that up over several days.

Driving that same distance here, If there's a ferry+road from Rabat (in Morocco) to Kyiv (Ukraine), I could take it and keep on going another several hours.

So you can understand how silly it is for someone from the u.s. to be asked to answer a question on behalf of the entirety of the u.s.—geographically, culturally, etc.

So now that we've said all that, I need you to know that I listened to a guy from Idaho tell an Irish person today, "yeah, we just don't really get snails much in America."

Snails.

Next. Even if someone does say, 'not where I'm from,' you might still want to check that out for yourself:

I truly don't understand why anyone takes literally anything in Empathy as fact if we've seen it before. Every single time I sit here like "DA-GE PLZ. DA-GE WE SAW THAT EPISODE UNFOLD FROM A THIRD-PERSON OMNISCIENT VIEWPOINT AND THAT EVENT DID NOT HAPPEN." Someone get Daniel Molloy in here ASAP.

[poorlittleyaoyao]

To be clear, I love Empathy as character study. There are so many little things that he inserts into scenes that Did Not Happen that reveal not only later biases, but his own unvoiced thoughts at the time. It’s great!

Then there’s the stuff he “remembers” that he definitely was not present for. I’m inclined to fully dismiss the “memory” of the captain seeing MY talking to XY and confronting him about it—for one thing, an overheard XY-MY conspiracy doesn’t make sense in the context of anybody’s actions, and for another, we saw that scene happen from start to finish that wasn’t in there. However, there’s another thing that NMJ “remembers” but wasn’t present for, and that’s sad little MY walking up to the cave with the water jugs while everyone is mean to him!

NMJ saw firsthand that MY was eating separately from the other men and he heard them talking shit when he approached the cave, but he has no way of knowing what happened before he found MY at the tree. MY could well have been eating alone out of habit like a misfit middle schooler based on past experiences and not even gone to the cave. (Honestly, not going to the cave at all could explain why he still has all the water bottles with him instead of just dropping them off at the cave.)

But this is the way NMJ pictures it happening, with a wide-eyed baby MY approaching the cave eager to help! This is what he envisions the disrespect sounding like! And given how NMJ later (mis)remembers himself questioning whether MY was ever helpless at all, it’s curious that he envisions him being EXTRA SUPER HELPLESS.
