#i get its a hard accent

[can1s-lupus-lupus]

any other scottish/irish folk feeling a bit conflicted about Stone in Ramshackle?

just watched it last night, and ik he doesn't have many lines but i was really unsure on his accent, like in some points it sounds scottish, other times irish, and sometimes he sounds vaguely american too?

if stone is meant to be irish or scottish too i also feel uncomfortable with him being like the only character to smoke or drink the entire time, that feels very stereotypical

genuinely, as a scot, i was excited when i thought i recognised a scottish accent, not something yiu see often, but again as a scot i cant tell if he's scottish or not

really confusing and frustrating

was thinking about that voice hcs post & it really struck me that i have never once read anyone besides james as remotely british. whenever barty arrives in the fanfiction like "bloke" my eyes black out for a second... you can't be talking like that croatian baby

i cant explain it but daigo being subtitled to just be like 'you're making me look like i have no balls' feels so illegal and wrong. hilarious but something's off

anyways my friends activated my conlang brain and I've made smth insane as usual

red is influences, blue is Elezen-family languages, green is like a mix bc I see the Alliance cities as having a trade language (that critically is limited to them).

I see Duskwight as a separate language from Black Shroud Elezen (but sharing a lot - easy enough to learn for those speakers). Coerthan and all its derivatives are a whole different language under the Elezen umbrella and isn't mutually intelligible with BSE. Because they split so early, they probably don't share much more than root words and etymologies; within the same family so not difficult to learn for other speakers of Elezen languages, but very distinctly different.

(also I'm not listing them but the branches extend to include other diaspora Elezen languages)

50$ to print 10 of the same skin has always been so insane to me. you're telling me it's 50$ to print....only 10.....of a single skin....and that's normal. And not only is that normal, that's what's required for a skin shop. where ppl may not even sign up for 10 runs. and then you're left in the shitter with at minimum 1-4 skins nobody wanted (not to mention if some people decide not to pay afterward) that you have to just pray someone finds & buys on the auction house. And it's 50$. Uhuh. And then that's just the artist's issue and fault and we're gonna blame them instead of the fact that a 10 print run costs as much as groceries.

Mmm,,, prev poll made me think of stuff

idk who this person is but i fuck with them

[pynkhues]

random, but thinking about what rockstar lestat will be like and the jam friendship post reminded me, did I imagine this or was there a podcast a while ago where Jacob said something about Sam being a great singer? I could have sworn there was but now I can't find it

Thanks for sending that, anon! I hadn't heard it before! It's really cute.

sometimes I think about how when I went to college for a year before I dropped out (basically failed out,) the counselors/dean told me they can't help me at all or give any accommodations unless I have an official autism/adhd diagnosis. that might sound logical at first, but when you think about it more, it's actually quite fucked up. if someone is struggling really bad, what's the harm in helping them? why do they require a paper to get even the smallest amount of help? people who don't need help aren't going to be failing miserably without help! even NTs could benefit from some adjustments to the horrible school system! (but changing the entire system is a whole other conversation that the school system isnt ready for)

but even if you do agree to jump through their hoops, you realize it's even more fucked up that the diagnosis process requires YEARS in most cases (in my case it took 4 or 5 years, can't recall exactly now, for autism/adhd diagnosis, which would have meant i finished school before getting it if i managed to mot fail out, or i wait that long before going back, which is a whole struggle itself) and they also tried billing me for THOUSANDS of dollars because of insurance issues!!

so you put a ton of time and money into this, and then get told the only accommodation they are willing to give you for autism and adhd is "a little extra time on tests"

....

my test scores were the best part of my whole class experience. that was NOT what I struggled with!!!!! those tests were all online and could be done in the comfort of your home where you can accommodate yourself and have plenty of time left over when you finish them because you are comfy in your own space, (and also, no one was stopping you from having your notes/books/google open to find the answers,) and you don't even need a time consuming, expensive diagnosis for that!

SO WHAT'S THE POINT!!!!!!!

These are the two greatest characters Ryan Murphy has every written and I will not be accepting any sort of criticism.

This idea has changed over time because language is something that's just easier to ignore sometimes with roleplaying. Ya know, all muses speak common pretty much. But outside of that, it's really fun to realize accents muses have.

Canonically, Hibi is fluent in Japanese and English. Conversationally, they know a fair amount of Korean and Mandarin, but still request translators when speaking with government/political officials. Other languages they may know enough to be polite here and there, but would much rather have someone else to the work of translate than stumbling around trying to understand.

All very impressive yes, but their accents leave much to be desired. They're just bad at it, a weak point, and it only gets worse if they're jumping between languages, they've been drinking, too tired, you know the works.

Naturally, being so far removed from everyone else, there is a royal dialect traditionally the rulers of Edo have, but it is one that's been less and less severe over the years. Hibi's parents (mainly their father) seem to have a decently heavy accent because of his parents. It can be hard to understand to new people, especially if Japanese isn't someone's first language. It's posh to the point of almost being not understandable. Hibi's "royal accent" is there, but isn't as obvious. It's something that takes a while to pinpoint what it is, almost sounding like a foreigner, so even then it's hard to put a label to it unless it's been heard before. It's a generational thing that's been dying off mainly in favor of being able to work with more foreign and local powers.

i think what i want to say is i want to do really cool and weird music but i struggling because i also like a type of style ive been doing on my own thing but i sometimes it feels too sappy for what i Really want to be doing and maybe im just critisizing myself too much in the area. like there could be a duality of style in my music but the only music ive really been able to make has been the easiest starting point i can go off from. but i feel . aughh,. the vibe isnt there yet i guess. BUT ITS GOOD TOO i like the music ive tried to make know but its quite different from my listening style i guess which is what id like 2 learn how to make. more like what i listen to. i wanna do both

I think my most favorite thing about being autistic is the determination when it comes to my special interests. Like I wanna hear my favorite guys say certain things or sing songs but I don't ever wanna fuck with AI so I'm like aight time to learn how to voice act I guess. It's fun as fuck tho 10/10 recommend just fuckin around and impersonating your faves for funsies.

it's so sweet to me how every time jun does a solo live he'll make sure to do a live on both weibo and weverse, whether it's in the same night or on one platform on one day and the other the next. he really takes care of all of his fans <3

homestuck ramble about the beta kids and their weird queer identities

Jade Harley is trans and figured it out super early and yeah her grandpa is old fashioned but also doesnt care. like yeah ok I'll call you jade you can be a girl i guess why not. yeah you can buy a bra and grow your hair out. and she lives the best life bein a girl n shit and the rest of the beta kids always knew her as a girl cuz she figured it out so young so win win

um years years later idfk i havent finished homestuck yet john is talking to jade like wait you're a transgender ?!! o wow no judgement but i couldnt tell haha and jades like ok thanks john smiley face

n johns like isnt it normal to feel like a girl sometimws though how often do you have to feel like a girl to bw one and jades like what and johns like dont get me wrong im definitely a boy but sometimes i can imagine myself as a girl and it feels cute i guess? and sometimes i feel like somw other unknown thing and idk its probably stupid but how did you figure out you were a girl and not just a girl sometimws and jades like ok john i think u might be a girl and johns like what

long story short john becomes john/june goes by she/they mostly shes genderfluid and is still a boy to an extent but shes transfem and starts to present more neutrally/feminine and shes like woah thats awesome so cool i didnt know i couls do that

similar thing happens with dave and rose

rose realizes shes a lesbian very early on and she can just tell that dave is fucking queer but she doesnt say much about it cuz she figured shed let dave find out on his own. she jokes about it sometimes like haha dave are u drawing gay porn or something and dave jokes back like haha totally but it completely slips his mind

fucking years later daves like hey howd you figrue out ur a lesbian and rose tells him and daves like hm. its not the same for boys though right cuz like the way a guy is attracted to something is soo different and rose is like. the gay gene runs in our family dave and i think ur gay and daves like no. fucking way

dave goes thru a crisis realizes he was in love with john this whole time and is distraught about it because john likes girls and wouldn't like him back the same way and then finally after a lifetime of denial and slight internalized homophobia hes like okay maybe i do like dick and rose applauds him like about fucking time bro good for you

waves hello hi i havent finished homestuck this is just what runs thru my head at 80 miles per hour when thinking about it
