hi :D

Hey! Welcome! She/they I’m perpetually bored so feel free to message me about anything :)

[shore-birds]

everybody get more danger days RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

[homunculus-argument]

The Odyssey but retold as a low-stakes modern adventure of one guy out with his girlfriend leaving the bar with his buddies to do just one (1) simple thing real quick, it'll take like 15 minutes tops, he'll be right back, but then some bullshit happens and the trip keeps getting more complicated as more bullshit keeps happening while he just tries to get back to the bar because he promised his girlfriend that he'd get back and he knows that she's still there because she told him she'd wait there.

And by the time he finally gets back it's almost 3 am and the bar is about to close while she's sitting there stone cold sober, surrounded by 5 drunk guys unsuccessfully trying to convince her to give up on waiting for him and go home with one of them instead. And the guy shows up to proceed to beat the shit out of them before explaining himself to her like hey sorry bullshit kept happening, my phone fell into a storm drain and my wallet got stolen when I was trying to find someone who'd borrow me a phone so I could call and

[thekijs]

His girlfriend had been fending off the 5 drunk guys for most of the evening by explaining that even if she was going to ditch her boyfriend, she can't possibly leave without finishing her beer, which she is keeping perpetually full via careful sleight of hand where she's just pouring it back and forth into and out of the pitcher.

However the drunk guys are also drinking, and eventually she can't afford to buy another pitcher for the table so she can't keep up the ever-full beer glass trick. At this point she has to resort to setting up the pool trick shot that she's never seen anyone but her boyfriend pull off, and says she'll leave with whoever manages the shot first.

That buys her another hour or so and then, finally, her boyfriend makes it back. He looks like shit, hair down and just a mess, he's wearing an entirely different jacket that he got from an alley, and barely recognizable—especially to 5 guys who've been drunk for hours now. He lurks for a minute, finds out what's going on, and proceeds to pull off the trick shot first try. Throws the jacket off, fixes his hair with a hair tie his girlfriend lends him, finally looks like himself again, and THEN beats the shit out of them with the pool cue.

[weaselle]

yuh i was there, that's how it happened

[sweatermuppet]

i think its mandatory that people who like mcr listen to against me! also

[fanwithoutaplan]

AGAINST ME! MENTION!!!! ON *MY* DASH!!! Oh joyous days are upon us.

For those who don’t know, Against Me! is an absolutely killer punk band fronted by the icon herself Laura Jane Grace. Roots in anarchism and disillusionment, this band waves the flag of “this place may be shit but it’s our shit and may the universe help anyone in our way of making it better”

please if you do nothing else new this week, go listen to them. This band is my favorite and I need more people to know them.

Top Hits

Here's an edit I did cause I'm still grieving these two, so you'll have to suffer with me 😞💔

#I don't think I've seen a characterization of mew as... apathetic? it's an intriguing interpretation of it I like it #the serene acceptance that it did its job; it birthed something grander than itself. the offspring needs nothing more from it. #what is mewtwo's success to mew here? what is that? it is 'evolution endgoal' but now what #does mew care about its emotional state? does it Understand? is this mew old as they are sometimes described as being #disconnected from how other pokemon think and feel? #the raw vulnerability of 'I think I needed you regardless' and callousness of mew's reply wounds me

Idea for an Erasermic Ghostbusters AU, where Shouta sees ghosts and Hizashi uses the recorder to communicate with them. One day, they find themselves exorcising an incredibly creepy place haunted by Eri's ghost. They thought they'd done a good job of putting the little girl to rest, but they make the "mistake" of taking her doll with them. The toy becomes the anchor for Eri's ghost, who then becomes the mascot (adoptive ghost daughter) of the two, who always carry the doll with them for fear of it falling into the wrong hands. Eri is also super useful for communicating with other spirits, helping them with their work. All this mental journey just for the excuse of making this silly alternative family drawing! Sorry!

----------------------------------> I'm racking my brains trying to think of ways to include Shinso in this scenario… Any ideas?

[niacart]

Rewatched The Long Walk last week and realised I never did any art for it back when it came out in September 😫 so I locked in and over the last week got drawing ✌️😌

No one asked for this except me as I am still very fond of the film

[turnipoddity]

i can’t believe i haven’t drawn them dancing… anyways

[seirxi]

watched episodes 11-13 of BNHA! with that I’m officially done with season one

seeing the other characters in action was so fun. It’s kinda crazy to think about how it’s just their…what…third day at school? they’re cursed

anyways—finally on to season two!!

[seirxi]

episode 44-49 of bnha drawings!

loved this arc so much and there were so many cute bakugou scenes i was rejoicing. I love the character progression so far as well, it just has me so excited to see where all of these characters go in the future

(previous watch drawings can be found here)

[luriuan]

I love how whenever ATLA recognizes Sokka is smart enough to solve a problem but it’d be too fast they just stick him in some kind of situation. Like he COULD’VE stopped jet from drowning a town so they tied him up and dumped him in a forest. He COULD’VE figured out what that spirits deal was so they lost him in the spirit world for 24 hours.

[sailing-ever-west-deactivated20]

One time they just stuck him in a hole in the ground for a whole episode.

[ectojester]

This is how writers should deal with characters who are too smart for the arc instead of making them suddenly dumber for no apparent reason.

If you frequently find yourself in random situations while your friends happen to be experiencing problems maybe you, too, are too smart for the narrative.

[not-deadsummer]

My favorite is that Sokka absolutely would've just navigated them out of the desert, so they had to put him on acid the entire time.

[fanwithoutaplan]

me today.

dodged a stupid interpersonal relationship sideplot by literally being asleep the whole time <3

[sashasparrow]

not doomed by the narrative but saved by the narrative. yeah i know you'd rather die than keep suffering but the story doesn't actually care what you want. you have to keep going, even when it hurts. even being erased from existence won't stop you from being salvaged from the wreckage of un-being. get up. keep pushing. keep bleeding. keep living.

Not to be rhe ten millionth person to say “USAmerican President Donald Trump Is An Incoherent Public Speaker Whose Train Of Thought Can Be Best Described As Scat Jazz” but I just remembered that when he talks at international events it is several dozen people’s job to translate what he’s saying and what he intends to say to world leaders in real time

And I desperately wish to hear how they do it

[teaboot]

If anyone reading this isn’t fluent enough in English to understand the sentences that man says, please know that he has essentially mixed a number of adjectives and topics together in a hat and is pulling them out at random like a horrible children’s game

[teaboot]

Like that waxy jaundiced bitch will straight up be like “J'étais sur internet l'autre jour – internet, la plus grande invention américaine. Et la Chine a “internet aussi. Pas un bon internet, pas comme le mien, j'ai un internet formidable. Les gens me disent : « Donald, ton internet est génial ! » On adore l'internet de Donald. Mais la Chine… Chine, Chine, Chine… Vous savez qu'ils mangent des oiseaux ? C'est terrible. J'adore les oiseaux. La Chine mange des oiseaux. Pas comme nous. Pas comme mes oiseaux. Mais vous savez, c'est comme ça, et c'est terrible. Mais voilà ce que je vais faire : je vais sauver les oiseaux. Je vais sauver internet et sauver les oiseaux. Tous ces magnifiques oiseaux. Pour l'Amérique. Et la Chine va nous détester pour ça. Ils vont nous détester parce qu'on est les meilleurs sur oiseaux”. And people will lose their minds

International translators have had this problem for A While - if they *don't* clean up what he says to sound coherent, they look like they're doing a bad job.

oh my god

[freckles-a-constellation]

There was a scandal in Poland because one translator decided to translate him accurately, tone, vocabulary level and word salad tangents and all. Polish conservatives who don't speak English and previously only heard smoothed out translations that sounded coherent and used big words were up in arms about how the translator was "inserting her political agenda", "mocking him", "exaggerating", "purposefully trying to make him look bad" and "incredibly unprofessional". I listened to the translation in question. It was literally just accurate.

5. Sensitive and Controversial Language Trump’s speeches occasionally contain misogynistic, sexist, or inflammatory language. Japanese interpreter Tsuruta, for example, faced challenges when translating sexualized remarks, ultimately opting for standard terminology to maintain professionalism. Similarly, Chinese translator Kumiko Torikai found certain lewd expressions ethically challenging, ultimately leading to her retirement. Navigating these situations requires skillful balancing of accuracy, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity, ensuring that the translation is appropriate without distorting the original intent.

I don't know why the authors of PoliLingua act as if Trump's verbal misogyny and racism wasn't very much part of his "original intent".

it only now dawns on me that millions of people on this planet think Trump is way smarter than he is because translators have neglected to relate his violent speech accurately out of misunderstood politeness. Make the ape sound like a ape
