#asking too much from Tumblr

[punanami]

Baby we are talking about stereotypes. Toji fits black stereotypes more than any other race. why are you acting brand new to the parallels? If it look like a duck and quack like one, it's a duck—so yeah we are going to write Toji in the way he presents. That's typically what writers do lmfao.

If you don't speak Japanese yourself you are going to need more than just a google search to grasp what you are trying to argue against.

Osaka ben is just the dialect of Osaka, yakuza speech takes it further to the point it's disrespectful. That is why I said it's considered rude or disrespectful the way he talks. Plain ole' Osaka ben isn't rude, it's just a different dialect. So no there's no 1:1 with the way he or the yakuza speaks to US southern dialects. US Southern speech is known for "manners" and politeness—yakuza Osaka speech is not that.

Also for clarification him talking hybrid is him taking both with Tokyo dialect and the Osaka yakuza dialect—in his speech the VA uses both. But again, Osaka dialect and yakuza dialect are NOT one and the same. I can't stress that enough, yakuza dialect is layered into whatever regional speech that person has be it Osaka or Tokyo or wherever else. Toji just happens to speak in both Osaka yakuza and proper Tokyo Japanese as a blend.

I honestly think this knee jerk reaction of yours is from not actually reading what I wrote because I literally said "y'er" instead of "your" is more accurate too. So you are trying to make this grand point of "why don't we have toji speak like xyz which also works" and answer is: we already do—and people have definitely complained about that "cowboy speak" "y'er/t'/n'" speech too btw.

I can't believe I have to say this but the use of aave doesn't have bigoted implications nor is it lazy, are you crazy? you would only say that if you thought aave usage in itself was negative—which is bigoted in itself so I would really check yourself right now. AAVE is just a dialect of speaking its not inherently negative but its usage has a lot of slang too and therefore considered rude in certain contexts much like yakuza/delinquent speech. everyone code switches, lets not forget that.

The English dub of anything is pretty inconsequential in most cases, especially games taken overseas and marketed to a mass audiences. Devs will keep core story but change intents/meanings/phrases to what is most popular or relatable for that particular audience and what will sell the game, rather than what is the most 100% accurate. You are more likely to get the most accurate translation from a fan manga, which cares more about accuracy than a game dev trying to sell a game.

Additionally, I am not relating Toji 1:1 with yakuza neither—just parts of his speech. Yakuza are still very traditional in customs and have strict guidelines. Toji's whole character was defying traditions, the status quo and not identifying himself by any membership to his family or otherwise. He doesn't fit perfectly in the Yakuza box either. He fits in more with western individualism ideals.

My reply wasn't looking for allowance or approval. It was to correct your very incorrect assertion that aave isn't appropriate for Toji's character when it very much is for a multitude of reasons. IDC if you don't like it, I'm saying its accurate.

Furthermore this...

and of course it makes sense to use some slang when it comes to Toji. but it gets to a point.

This convinces me you are literally being contrary to be contrary because you don't want to be wrong. I literally said in my reply "don't make walking stereotypes." So we literally are saying the same thing lmfao that it makes sense to use some aave/slang for toji. lmfao! glad you agree which really invalidates everything else you were saying about it not making sense for toji to use aave slang because 95% of American popular slang comes directly from aave.

Your entire response lacks the capacity for nuance I fear... because mentioning gege is super relevant as you said "nowhere does toji talk like this" and I am making mention to the actual way Toji speaks according the the JP anime which is according to gege's interrpretation of his own character. Also the fact that gege is very aware of black stereotypes and influenced by them as they show up in the actual JJK manga with gojo and Miguel—so yes this also speaks to Toji being written with certain black stereotypes in mind.

It's definitely seeming like the problem isn't the fanfic authors but your own biases of what you, as a non black person, are deeming is "too much aave". Black people, including myself, who use aave in our day to day don't even purely speak it where its every other word. code switching is very much a thing. christ sake no one is writing him like that lmfao.

good god.

people will write toji and make him talk with hella aave and EYE think it’s weird. outside of the fact that it just doesn’t mesh w his character and he literally doesn’t talk like that AT ALL I also think it’s weird that he’s the only one who (within some corners of the fandom) is characterized as talkin like that and u rlly gotta wonder why..

Hey if requests are still open,,, blu demo?

my first time drawing demo n i had so so much fun.... i don't think he rlly gives a hoot about his missing eye and he'll go around blu base without his eyepatch often. i entertained the idea of him going for a glass eye but yeahh blu demo doesnt really......care about much, so to say. that's the #depression that comes with being a clone

what was nikita's last known picture? :(

I think the last time we saw him was during sentencing, April 2nd, 2013. A WHILE ago.

"Lytkin was nervous and shaking: he was grinning, then wringing his crossed hands into a lock, then shifting from one foot to the other."

"Lytkin was visibly nervous, but he didn't lower his eyes. He remained in this state even when his term of imprisonment was read out."

The judge reads the verdict. Artyom nods when he says, "The court is convinced that the fair criminal punishment for this crime will be life imprisonment."

haven’t been drawing mostly watching shit uhhh kakashi he was made for me and only me byyyyeee

[sha-brytols]

Can i ask how u feel about elthina then? Since u said ur feelings are complicated. Dw if u dont want to answer!!!

undeniably the true antagonist to da2 and in my opinion a very clever representation of the chantry's frankly terrifying role in like. all of the major conflicts of da2. but also painting her as inaffably evil or acting out of some diabolical self-serving purpose is (imo) hugely missing the point

Fun fact: McLaren have scored 1102 points from 2021 to the first half of 2024.

Fun fact: 152 of those are Danny Ric. 264 of those are Oscar Piastri. 686 of those are Lando Norris, that’s well over half.

Fun fact: Lando had a 130 point advantage across ‘21-‘22 and has a 140 point advantage across ‘23-‘24 thus far.

Thank you and goodnight.

[crouton-moons]

Zionist.

saying don't fall for scams does not make someone a zionist. tumblr asks are NOT actual calls for aid!

i was just going to delete this ask like i do all scam asks, but i figured id post it just in case other people are getting similar things for... not being gullible? for trying to stop other people from being scammed and sending their money to scammers instead of actual palestinians?

many people in palestine obviously need aid. an obvious bot sending thousands of messages to thousands of people asking for "aid" will not help those people. they aren't from actual victims. they're from random people who are weaponizing the kindness of strangers to make a buck. falling for it helps absolutely no one. critical thinking is even MORE important in a time like this, stop falling for this obvious shit! they're just like the ai porn bots. they're used by the same exact people for the same exact reasons, getting money off those who are gullible. they're scumbags who are weaponizing peoples empathy to make a buck off a genocide. stop. falling. for. it.

they're trying to take advantage of you. they're assuming you're too stupid to think critically about who you think you're helping. stop proving them right.

there are thousands of actual ways to donate to those in need that aren't tumblr ask scams!

How do you imagine Nikita as a boyfriend? (Even if you doubt he would have a girlfriend, dang if he just knew how many girls like him now😭)

I need to add "headcanon tcc" to all my other achievements, lol.

I feel like it'd be like with his friendships, but with more awkwardness, at least at first. He'd never have taken the initiative, everything would have to be done by another person. I don't think he'd have even genuinely hoped for anything, he considered himself crap and worthless. And it'd feel a little strange for him that someone is really kind to him and wants to spend time with him (and possibly in a ROMANTIC way!), and doesn't mock him or use him. He'd be equally happy and anxious. Perhaps he'd have lost sleep over it, thinking about everything, it could be summed up as "Maybe..! No..." In short, the other person would have to take the initiative in communicating with him, at least at the very beginning, make him feel comfortable, support and listen to him. He needed someone with whom he could just be his quiet self, and another person would take lead, and it'd give HIM confidence, and he'd also start doing something.

More below. 👇🏻

🤍× In the established relationship, well, I think he'd still feel awkward and nervous, it'd take time for him to stop worrying about possibly being boring and not good enough. I mean, he wouldn't be all 🥺😔🙁, he'd just feel insecure from time to time, just some self-doubt in the back of his head, especially if he felt bad mentally. 🤍× He'd probably feel kinda ashamed of himself being good-for-nothing, not conventionally attractive or rich, for being an apathetic wreck that struggles with basic things such as hygiene. 🤍× Maybe he'd feel the pressure of responsibility. Because it's so serious now! He'd feel like the other person expects him to do something, like in typical TV series and movies, and it'd stress him out. He'd constantly need to be reassured, to have some (non-verbal) confirmation that the person was having fun with him and didn't feel some kinda envy when looking at other couples. 🤍× From time to time, he'd internally struggle with "I don't want to be a loser, I'm a MAN, I have to be a leader in this relationship." Another thing to be insecure about. 🤍× But apart from that, he'd constantly try to come up with something interesting to do. But he didn't really like ACTUALLY doing things and leaving the house, he probably wouldn't be a big fan of typical dates and all that jazz, he was broke anyway (but I think it'd be possible to drag him somewhere, but he'd feel awkward and nervous at first, and he'd kinda hate it because it'd be new to him, but then he'd start having fun in the process and think, "Well, I guess it wasn't that bad"). He'd rather be at home or at another person's place, or just taking a walk with them. Or doing some stupid shit if he feels comfortable and silly enough. 🤍× He's the type of person to suggest something and look at the other person, gauging their reaction, waiting for an approving signal to continue and develop the thought. It'd make him more at ease, more confident. 🤍× One of his favorite things to do would be to browse the internet, watching videos and playing games together. I think he'd feel pretty hyped and confident when he showed what he liked, what he was interested in, anything to make himself look cool, interesting, knowledgeable in something. He desperately needed someone who shared his interests and understanded him. Maybe he would have offered to participate in the making of his new album somehow. 🤍× Overall, he'd be kinda fun and chill if he felt comfortable. And maybe a little crazy, saying and doing weird stuff, if too comfortable. 🤍× The type of person to get PAINFULLY attached. Sometimes he'd prefer to be alone, but he'd miss the person pretty quickly. He'd HATE to be physically far away and for a long period of time (and that long period would be, like... a week or less), like, he'd be VERY upset. Would feel SUPER frustrated if one of them had some stuff to do and they wouldn't be able see each other. For example, some kinda trip. 🤍× He could get upset/frustrated/mad because of something, but he wouldn't talk about it and say what it was. He probably would have said that everything was fine, but you could tell by his frown that something was wrong. You'd have to torture him to get him to tell you. 🤍× There's a possibility of him hiding behind the "Oh, I'm so tuff" persona and 100 layers of irony, sarcasm and trolling (and then lowkey forgetting who the hell he actually is) when he doesn't feel like opening up and being vulnerable. 🤍× Overall, he'd be inexperienced in right about everything and make mistakes because of it, but he wouldn't actually wanna mess it all up. He'd be pretty reliable and trustworthy. And easy to control. Don't use that against him. </3 🤍× He'd feel scared of getting hurt.

[0xeyedaisy]

I dont think that other anon was being a prankster. Tumblr IS flagging a lot of blogs for no reason, pixelated pfp and everything. Even just being in their blog with mature/violent content off from their filter, whatever posts are flagged (even if its just clothes or animals) pixelate the pfp, while others dont! Its....an experience

Yeaaaa, tumblr is back on being a very functional website!! Well, as I said I wouldn't be surprised if I get flagged outta nowhere at some point :p
