halfway tempted to put up a sign above my sink that just says

"Percy would want you to clean your dishes :c"

in an attempt to keep my dishes from piling too much

vox is not a televangelical. he is a game/reality tv host who got a little too into the rating game. he is the reason why osha was instated in 1971. he is chris mclean.

#live #vox hazbin hotel #total drama #chris mclean #not an april fools joke #i am dead serious #i hate that hc. giving him religious trauma would break vox as a character #it wouldn't work #let him be weird!#he is responsible for like 3 workplace related deaths and got away with all of them #whatever his show was it featured a big tank of sharks

It's so funny to me that for years people complained about the ending of Ruin and Rising, saying it's disappointing that Alina goes on to have a normal life, instead of being a queen, leader of the Grisha etc. Because it would've been so empowering to see a female character keep her power and become a ruler. (Even though Alina’s ending makes perfect sense for her character, and I will die on this hill).

Yet, when Zoya's story in KoS and RoW comes along, which is exactly that, it gets dragged because she's too powerful? What do you want then??

Tbh I suspect negative reactions to both have to do with male characters. Many people wanted Alina to become queen so she ends up with Nikolai. Similarly, the issue with Zoya becoming queen is that she does it own her own, not as Nikolai's queen because he abdicates. There's nothing wrong with stanning male characters and Nikolai is amazing, but why does it have to be at the expense of female characters.

Also, Nikolai's entire arc in RoW is realising he doesn't want to be king. He wants to help his country and thought being the monarch is the way to do it, that it's his purpose. Then it makes him totally miserable, he’s much happier inventing things and not carrying the burden of the crown, Besides, he's literally the #1 Zoya stan, do you think he’d stand for y'all slandering her??? NO.

#grishaverse #rule of wolves #the grisha trilogy #alina starkov #zoya nazyalensky #rule of wolves spoilers #maybe not all negative reactions have to do with this #or nikolai specifically #but most of the time people who say they wanted alina to be queen are nikolina shippers in my experience #obviously some ship her with darkles and don't like the ending either but it has more to do with his fate and her being with mal #but i heard the powers argument from them too and the 'even nikolai would be better for her' too #he would be better out of the two but they (nikolai and alina) want completely different things out of life #it wouldn't work #with zoya i knew there will be upset nikolai fans who see her ending as usurping his place #he did it because he wants her to be queen #he supports her 1000%#also there is a camp saying alina should've ended up alone with her powers #so it's empowering #if that's what you want #zoya's literally right there #she kept her powers & got even more powers & was chosen as a queen & ruler #yes she has a love interest #but it doesn't define her #and it didn't define alina #and female characters aren't less empowering for having a male love interest #pls don't be like james cameron when he came out of the woodwork to hate on wonder woman #saying she's not empowering because she's feminine and has a male love interest

The problem with trying to write fanfiction about Thai shows whilst simultaneously learning Thai is the realization of just how difficult it is to translate languages. There’s a whole layer of the Thai language that just isn’t possible to translate: “Khrap” and “Kha”(”Khrap” is for men, “Kha” is for women, and they’re used in the same way). They’re both words that are indicators of respect that you use after some words when speaking. How often you use them indicates how much you respect the person you’re speaking to, and there’s just no way to communicate that in English. The best I can do is use “sir” and “ma’am”, but it still doesn’t quite work. Also there’s all the different ways to say “I” and “you”. There are respectful ways and non respectful ways, and how you use them changes the tone of the conversation. For instance, any time Phupha is being serious/gentle with Tian, he uses the respectful words, but in regular speech he doesn’t. The point is to communicate emotion about what’s happening. Again, no way to do that in English.

The point is I have a lot more respect for translators now and it’s deeply difficult to not use Thai words in my fanfic.
