obsessed with this bookshop in stratford-upon-avon having WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE listed as a ”local author”

Man, I just love it when Japanese media with Western settings get English dubbing and the amount of sass is increased to the native speaker's serving size.

Exhibit A from Twisted Wonderland anime:

Note: 「それまで耐えてください」 literally means "Please hold on until then."

Exhibit B from Resident Evil Requiem:

Note: 「お前の出番だ」 literally means "It's your turn."

Exhibit C from Witch Hat Atelier anime:

Note: 「だから水って嫌いなんだ」 literally means "This is why I hate water."

These sound almost more in character than the original lines, like they would totally say that (except they actually do).

#you could do something in sociolinguistics with this i think #(an exception is probably kuroshitsuji because ciel and sebastian are already in a constant battle to out-sass each other)#twisted wonderland #resident evil #witch hat atelier #do not make me look up the french dub of wha i am already watching each episode twice #also. as i said before somewhere else.#leon's lines here perfectly demonstrate the difference between an ikeoji and a dilf...

Not that anybody asked, but I think it's important to understand how shame and guilt actually work before you try to use it for good.

It's a necessary emotion. There are reasons we have it. It makes everything so. much. worse. when you use it wrong.

Shame and guilt are DE-motivators. They are meant to stop behavior, not promote it. You cannot, ever, in any meaningful way, guilt someone into doing good. You can only shame them into not doing bad.

Let's say you're a parent and your kid is having issues.

Swearing in class? Shame could work. You want them to stop it. Keep it in proportion*, and it might help. *(KEEP IT IN PROPORTION!!!)

Not doing their homework? NO! STOP! NO NOT DO THAT! EVER! EVER! EVER! You want them to start to do their homework. Shaming them will have to opposite effect! You have demotivated them! They will double down on NOT doing it. Not because they are being oppositional, but because that's what shame does!

You can't guilt people into building better habits, being more successful, or getting more involved. That requires encouragement. You need to motivate for that stuff!

If you want it in a simple phrase:

You can shame someone out of being a bad person, but you can't shame them into being a good person.

Fun fact, that was literally what inspired me to make this post!

stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation with the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.

unfortunately my eyeliner will never look as good on me as it does on an american male rock musician in the early 2000s

#also even if you manage to perfectly replicate their looks be aware that they might not look as good on you...#i put like half the amount of their eyeliner and i look really really dead. i mean the wrong kind of dead.#if there's anything i learn secondhand from my theatre major friends it's that makeup that looks good on stage always looks weird off stage #so you can't really copy one to one. to look good you gotta translate it to a look that can be worn off stage in every day life.#if that even makes sense

If I had to see this, then all of you have to as well

#immediately followed by one of the best lyrics to sing out really loud when depressed #it really sounds like that i was just never sure if that's how people read the emoticon out loud pfff #luckily the song is so good you get absorbed enough to forget this post temporarily #(i'm having a long-overdue queen phrase)

not my sister who is only a year younger than me commenting while we're watching fullmetal alchemist 2003 that "for each pair of brothers it's always the older one who gets them into trouble" and me immediately going "that's because the older ones have no choice but to lead them somewhere damnit" without even asking if her observation included us

edward elric and scar's brother and russell tringham sure are a pattern...

#like yes it was my hubristic little idea that led us to a minor accident in our early teens #but at least it resulted in no injury at all for you because i happened to take the full impact and break my right arm in doing so okay???#plus would our anxious parents let us become more self-independent than they were willing to if not for that event??? huh?????

#if there could be one immortal human being i want it to be him #i want him to be able to keep watching nature forever #(but before that we gotta stop earth from getting any sadder to look at. guys...)

Your secret is safe with me (i dissociated mid sentence and didn’t hear a thing you said)

your secret is also safe with me (I immediately forgot what you said)

your secret is safe (primarily because it's no longer with me).

brings me great joy to read medieval lit where the knights are physically described with the attention of a 2015 middle schooler writing y/n one direction fanfiction
