The Spanish translation was really wild for this one 💀

Fun fact: Lout of Count's Family is on Webtoon for free!...But only in Spanish

Some tidbits about the Spanish translation:

"Kail Henitus" END ME IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, EVEN IF YOU WANT SPANISH SPEAKERS TO PRONOUNCE HIS NAME AS INTENDED, WHAT'S NEXT, A L B E R T O?

Has spelled Lock's name as: Rak, Lak, and Lock (Get it together, Webtoon)

The official title translation is Trash of the Count's Family, unlike the English's "Lout" (That's neat, actually)

They reversed the name order for Korean names, so it's Choi Han → Han Choi, Kim Roksu → Roksu Kim

They initially went with Choi Han calling Cale just "Cale", but after a while, they switched it to "Lord Cale" (Don't know if they listened to the comments section for this one, I saw a lot of complaining when they chose to leave it as just Cale)

Alberu's name is *drum rolls* ...Alberu, we've been granted this mercy, at least

Some of the SFX translations are SO FUNNY, I don't know how they compare to the KR version, but at least I know they're different from the English version, I personally really like them, they add trashiness to Cale's behavior

My favorites (I put some explanations in the alternative text):

i REALLY need to rant about this real quick

can we talk about how reid is known as not the type to be in a relationship, not good at relationships because he simply isnt good at physical touch when it comes to showing love?? like why is that so, i genuinely think reid is the most romantic person displayed in television and im not being biased when is say that, well i am but oh well. i think we forget he made maeve fall in love with him by using his words only, she never even saw him, NEVER EVEN TOUCHED HIM. his way with his words and him using his intellect allowing him to put together such beautiful words alone can make someone fall in love.

anyways my point is i think alot of people confuse physical touch with being the only form of love, and in order to be romantic you must be touchy. BUT, i think love is so beautiful and theres so many ways to express it, and i really relate to reid because he is mere proof that you can have such a beautiful relationship without physical touch. and im not saying im fully against it, im saying love can exist between two people and touch not be the only thing they share in order to love eachother fully.

this one might get long and sappy, but when I first joined this fandom I was 16 and had just freshly been disowned by my family for being trans, living at what felt like the lowest point of my life. I found a home in dp, in how all the art and stories of him being trans both with and without his family’s support.

today I am 22. I came back to the fandom after being gone for a while, now with a home and a family and a life. I just woke up from top surgery, and on the way to the hospital I kept smiling, kept thinking of young me being so sure it would never happen. but it did! and I keep thinking of Danny, of all the characters, and this amazing fandom who’s helped me get to where I am today. the happiest person I’ve ever been since all the hell I went through before joining this fandom.

so I guess I wanted to say thank you all for creating a place for me to just be me. thank you for all the art, fanfics, theories, memes, and all types of posts who made me smile. I owe every single one of you the world for how much you made me smile and brought me the energy to keep going🫶

(sorry I’m sappy I’m a little all over the place from the meds)

Rayla had been moody since yesterday, but Callum hadn’t paid much attention to it, attributing her mood to all the time they were in the Ruthless. Moreover, being on dry land didn’t seem to help. She wasn’t going along with the stories and games Ez tried to do while walking; instead, she only gave him a smile or rolled her eyes and continued walking, fidgeting with her fingers. 

“Rayla, I’m hungry,” said Ezran. 

The elf didn’t even look at him so the kid padded her elbow. 

“What?” Rayla hissed before noticing Ezran. 

“We should stop to eat soon” interfered Callum “We are hungry and for the way you’re clutching your stomach I bet you are too” 

Rayla was startled, she hadn’t expected Callum to notice that little detail, though it wasn’t like she was being subtle with her movements. 

Zym jumped from Ezran’s arms and sat in front of Rayla titling his head as if trying to decipher what was wrong. 

“Okay, then, let’s find a place to sit down and eat”

They went deeper into the forest, Rayla sneezed at least three times, but no one said anything too afraid of getting her mad. 

“I think it’s fine here,” she said with a growl “The soil is smooth and we are protected by the trees, we can spend the night” 

Callum and Ezran shrugged, they didn’t know how to survive in the elements. 

Rayla embraced her stomach and squeezed her eyes shut with force. The boys immediately went over to check on her.

“Rayla!” Screamed Callum, preoccupation dropping from his voice “What’s happening? What’s wrong?” 

“I’m fine” she mumbled “Just cramps, nothing to worry about”

Continue reading here!

 It's been a while since I posted a fanfic (the last one being one about Rayla remembering Lain and Tiadrin), and I wanted to post this.

But please be aware I finished it today and it wasn't the greatest of days and I'm falling asleep as I write this so don't expect much

IT'S SET DURING ARC 1 SEASON 2 (more specifications on the beginning notes)

i feel like a really good reason why i like visual kei so much is due to the fact that theres a very aggressive and upset part of me that usually only gets vented out through music. and some visual kei bands are very heavy, i fee like its easy for me to feel connected to them due to having so much pent up anger. another reason is because i have bpd so i mean its right there

🖌 and 🌟 (:

🖌️ yes I do have tattoos, and I'm already planning more! I have two (bc I'm superstitious only when it suits me)

The first one is for a song I used to listen a lot during quarantine and that is dedicated to all the people I love, but especially my grandma (she had died recently when I first thought about getting it). Tadb means "ti amo di bene" which kinda difficult to translate for English speakers bc you only have one way of saying I love you while we differentiate between platonic and romantic love. But it would be like, a super strong "I love you" that you say to someone you're not in love with (idk if this makes sense sorry)

And the second one is a good omens tattoo, because I love the book and the series so so much and I think they kinda. Shaped me? In some way. It just means so much to me.

And I'm planning at least a third tattoo which would be a sketched dalek on my ankle

🌟I'm a Leo :))

[formulawolff]

our man looks SO FINE!!

how have you been kenna <33

literally me lately:

i’ve been meh. i like my job but i don’t love it. i’ve lived in this new city for a couple of months and i’m learning to love it (i lowkey took my internship for granted cause i miss writing all day every day) i can smoke again so that’s a plus! 😎

Lil vent post

(aka why does literally everything come back to my adoption trauma)

I've come to the conclusion that I'm not something anyone would fight for. Nobody's ever fought for me. I don't think anybody ever will. I'm not worth getting better for.

My birth mom couldn't give up drugs for me, couldn't get better even if it meant getting to keep me.

My adoptive mother still stands strong in her religion choosing that over seeing me as her son and other bs.

And then other things.

I'll learn to be content with it one day.. just today isn't that day.

Guess who has just watched PotO 1962. :)

Here the characters are BRI’ISH (I’m an unfunny mf, ik): we have Harry Hunter (Raoul) and Christine Charles, idk if the phantom is British tho… Professor Petri/ Petrie (?)

Idk if this is meant to be a remake of the 1943 one, but it looks like it: here Petri gets disfigured by acid (like in 1943), but it’s caused by himself, he wanted to put out a fire in the printing place but used acid which mixed with the flames and got on his face :| . He caused the fire because he was burning the opera that was actually stolen to him (unlike in 1943, In which Erique gets mad and kills the dude). The scene of him running away in pain is better in the 1943 version (in my humble opinion). Petri gets saved by a random mute (the same dude that will kill him…). He doesn’t do the dirty job, the killings are done by this mute (alas… I would have preferred if the Phantom did them himself)

Petri is crazy… I mean… Erik by default is not really sane, but I think that Petri is a bit more on the deeper end, he is very rough with Christine (and consider that in the novel Erik isn’t always very delicate)… Like full on slaps her because she was singing like shit and throws water at her to wake her up… Probably because there’s no element of love here, he just wants to hear his opera being sang beautifully before dying and him crying while seeing it confirms this (compared to Leroux Erik that loved her a lot, but his emotional immaturity made him behave in a similar way and after he is shown apologising and being a pathetic wet cat, sorry not sorry).

I like Harry, a nice gentleman. He helped Christine to get out of the lord Ambrose’s talons (that disgusting mf). Searched for her when she disappeared, fought and was really reasonable with Petri when he implored to teach Christine.

Idk if I like or dislike Petri’s mask… It doesn’t have a cool or beautiful design, it’s really ugly actually… But its rudimentary design is appealing in a way… It could show his desperate condition, he was forced to become an outcast by HIS OWN actions, he is horribly disfigured… Why bother with a beautiful mask? Just cover the markings that ruined your life, don’t even try to get back to the world of beauty you knew (probably I’m just overthinking it, idk), or maybe they just wanted a creepy mask.

The chandelier was dropped on Petri, he saved Christine and it crushed him. I like how they did his disfiguration, unfortunately it is shown very little.

La Carlotta (Maria here, I think) is basically absent. Here the phantom shenanigans come from Petri being mad about how his play was stolen and bastardised.

Here we have the rat catcher but not the Daroga, damn…

Not a bad movie, I’ve enjoyed it. Quite different from its source material… It is strange how they cut the romantic triangle completely.

[totally-not-a-mutant]

I know about the grups but if you want to interact with somone new it just feels like they don't want to rp with you :(

Ooc-

Okay so I'm really bad at knowing what stuff means and I read this two different ways so I'm gonna answer both. I hope that's okay.

The first way I read it is like interacting with someone you have never interacted with before. And yes, I share the sentiment. I often feel like I've walked in late and that they don't want to rp with me :〔

The second is that the someone new is, like, a new blog? If you get what I mean. And I just want to say that I, personally, am overjoyed anytime ANYONE interacts with me. Some of us are just new to rp in general and are trying to figure out what the right thing to say is and not really paying attention to anything else. Anyway, if this is the context you meant, they definitely DO want to rp. Just, ya know, give them a minute to warm up :〕

[seaheaded]

i understand why people may dislike being told they look like a painting or a sculpture as a compliment but like ??? yeah, you have fat in your body. yeah, your nose is big. those are not bad things.

someone looked at you and thought about art. they thought you reflected images that have been loved for generations. even if people try to say it to tease you — i know some losers can do at times, especially online — remember that you are the one bringing paintings and sculptures to life, and take pride in that.

Y'ALL LOOK GOOD AS FUCK OKAY!?

[nkogneatho]

satoru pushes his tip inside you and cries. like literal fat tears because your pussy is so damn addicting.

"mmh fhhuck! missed my sweet pussy so much, baby," he whimpers.

"ah! but we just fucked an h-hour ago."

"felt like a week to me. shit. ahhh, taking me so well." you feel something wet fall on you skin, almost like a sweat drop but when you look at his face, your angel boy is crying. you try to get him off you to figure out what's wrong.

"no no no, baby. where you goin'?" he pulls you back into his embrace and onto his dick. "don't go ngh–gonna make you feel so good, i promise."

"toru, are you crying?"

"c-can't help it. you make me go fucking crazy, princess. sweet. fucking. cunt. making me cry. who woulda thought—holy shit."

you are convinced this is the highest form of appreciation you have ever gotten. pussy so good, made the strongest sorcerer cry.

[paterklatter]

if i'm so fr i hate biopics so much. i think their position as not quite fiction is really bizarre and a little creatively bankrupt. either make a documentary or write your own damn story. in a lot of cases they feel like a waste of talent. skilled actors and writers and cinematographers and composers and blah blah blah put their efforts into something that is quite cynical. biopics always feel like a grasp for an oscar. sure, some great performances are found in these movies, but it's much more impressive to create an original performance or even iterate on a past performance. and my biggest complaint: why not just make a doc. seriously, if you want to really tell the story of this thing tell the damn story don't write rpf. oh but no documentaries aren't profitable and don't require a massive budget. when i watch a biopic, i never feel i have a greater understanding of the subject because any amount of it could be made up. there is no distinction between reality and fiction unless the viewer themselves has a lot of knowledge of the subject.

[dilfosaur]

thank you as always for the support and compliments on our new july-exclusive merch!! please take these close ups as a sign of my gratitude uwu

happy drawfee calendar year! and please look forward to our most unhinged merch yet in this coming year! there are some whack coals on the fire

[hoshiina]

pairing: hoshina soushirou x gn!reader (no prns)

summary: in which he realizes you were the one for him

warnings: none i think !

wc: 1100

Hoshina wasn't a player. He wasn't one to say yes to everyone who came his way nor was he one to lightly pursue just about anyone who slightly interested him— not to mention he didn’t fall easily to begin with. He was a busy man in a dangerous line of work so having a relationship simply didn’t make sense most of the time.

However, this is not to say he hasn’t had a few relationships here and there. He loved those he dated, he really did. He did not believe in dating for the fun of it nor did he believe in starting a relationship he knew would end at some point, but subconsciously he tried not to get attached. He kept his distance and locked away his heart to keep from getting hurt. Was it unfair? Well yes, but he was scared. Everyone has something that terrifies them greatly, this just so happened to be Hoshina’s.

Yet, recently he could tell that something was different with you. It had only been a few months since you started dating, but he feared the shift in his feelings. He knew what it was— he knew very well, but as soon as he admitted it, it would be over. There’d be no going back for him. He knew he was being rather irrational, he knew that if he sat down and confronted these emotions he’d realize they weren’t that big of a deal, but he couldn’t. He’s never been able to.

However, while fighting this kaiju, it became plain obvious that he was simply in denial. 

It upset him how important you were to him, but more than that it upset him that he knew he was important to you. You had made it so painfully clear that he meant the absolute world to you and that broke him to pieces every single time.

To him it was easy being alone— he just had to make sure his job was complete before he died. If he could ensure everyone’s safety or at least help Mina out, there was nothing more he wished for. Yet while fighting Kaiju no. 10 today, when he saw his life flash before his eyes, his immediate thought was of you. If he died you’d cry. And that alone was going to get him home alive.

He’d rather die than make you cry. Especially not alone.

As he stood up again, he could see his blood dripping from his wounds and immediately it made him chuckle. You’d cry anyways when you see the state he’s in. 

I’ll have to be around to wipe your tears at least, he said to you in his head.

He was incredibly lucky that you didn’t work on the battlefield, his heart simply would not be able to take it. But he did, and for you he’d have to get home safe. Even if no one else cared that much, not even himself, he knew you would.

All of a sudden, it was easy to admit. He was hopelessly in love with you, in a way he didn't know he was capable of. He wished that he would spend the rest of his life with you and he hoped you would spend the rest of yours with him. Perhaps he was just afraid and a little flustered to admit that he was important to someone, especially someone special to him too. He had seen how painful it was for those left behind, a little too often. 

But there was an easy solution to that, he’d just get back to you safe every time. He just won’t make you worry and he’ll be there for you. This was supposed to be a dilemma, something he thought he'd stress over, but in the moment he felt eerily relaxed, definitely not like he was fighting an identified grade kaiju. The rest of the fight was a blur, he couldn't remember much. His head was clear but the fatigue had taken over at that point, but before he knew it, the kaiju laid in front of him still.

He was faintly conscious as they rushed him into an ambulance and patched him up. Once he was properly treated and awake, they had warned him to stay put and take it easy, but all he wanted to do was see you.

As soon as he left his assigned room, he immediately bumped into you. You had been waiting to be let in to see him. You took one look at the way he was patched up and tears welled into your eyes. He could tell you didn't mean to, you didn't want to worry him.

“Please don't cry,” he said softly, wiping your tears away. He couldn't help but smile at the sight of you. “I'm perfectly fine.”

“I'm not crying,” you said with a scowl on your face, but the way your voice cracked was not very convincing. “I'm so glad you're back.”

“Can't live without me?” he teased. He knew you couldn't live without him, but he couldn't either. Yet, now he even hated the thought of you living without him, let alone with someone else, so here he was. And here he always will be.

“Shut up,” you said. “You know I can't.”

He knew, but hearing you say that still made his heart flutter. He reached out with his right hand to grab your left and held it carefully. He leaned in to kiss you, but it was so much sloppier than the careful ones he usually gave you. Forgive him, he was terribly exhausted.

“I can't either,” he said, snuggling his face into your shoulder.

“You can't?” you asked, a little surprised. It broke his heart that he had possibly made you feel such way.

“Not for a second,” he said, still avoiding eye contact. “I'd rather die than wake up without you next to me, actually.”

You wouldn’t reply, so he brought his head back up to look at you.

“Oh, don't cry,” he said and chuckled a little, wiping your tears away as he kissed you again. “I didn't mean to make you cry.”

He hadn't let go of your hand and although he was gentle, he held it firmly. He didn't say anything, but he vowed to himself that he'd put a ring on it someday. He wasn't letting go of you ever.

You were the one for him.

[bertoyana]

i'm so sorry i don't want to be the "the party ended 5 years ago and he's still here" person but dark phoenix's final scene is still SO funny to me. especially to see how erik plays charles like a fiddle

like: he shows up with NO helmet AND a chess set. (he did this last time in days of the future past, and it worked, right? so it should work again, right? right???)

so, he sits, completely uninvited mind you, and he tries (and fails terribly bless his heart) at starting a normal conversation, he asks charles about his retirement, probably trying to get charles to like, talk about it or whatever

(rip erik's hairline)

charles is not having any of it, which... valid. the last time he and erik had a full conversation, erik told him to shut the fuck up 

anyways, erik realizes his failed attempt at being casual did NOT work like he wanted, so he pulls out plan b - he calls charles his old friend (which, if you pay attention, in the prequels they use 'old friend' as a term to de-escalate the situation)

which WORKS, for some reason, and charles immediately deflates and gives erik the tiniest smile in existence, because erik showing he cares always seems to do it for charles lmao

(he's so embarrassing . god bless. @ x men: is this your leader)

anyhow, erik pulls out the second part of his plan b - he asks charles if he wants to play a game. still playing casual. just two buddies. just two guys. some guys. just some friends having a toootal normal n casual conversation.

and you can immediately see charles close himself up, he crosses his arms and avoids looking erik in the eye. erik managed to soften him up with the 'old friend' and having his helmet off, but it's not enough YET so erik pulls out his plan c. luckily his last one, christ, charles really does like to keep them waiting doesn't he

keep an eye on erik's entire demeanor in this scene, his position is not closed off like charles', he's open, he leans on the table, and maintains eye contact with charles. his head is tilted to one side and everything, completely harmless

i'm so obsessed with charles' microexpressions here james mcavoy you are so insane

anwyays, charles uncrosses his arms and his position does come off a little more open, but if you watch the scene you can see him shake his head. this obviously touches him - but he's probably intending to say still no. probably because he has the biggest martyr complex i've ever seen in a fictional character 

so, erik pulls up his fucking plan d (lol) and hopefully this time IT WILL be the last. he pulls the pawn out of his jacket pocket.

(why the fuck is this played like a fucking romantic scene i'm so serious, why is he smiling to himself like that)

mind you, erik had the pawn in his pocket the entire time, which could mean either of two things:

charles looks surprised/confused the entire scene, but in THIS part he doesn't look confused, he just looks like he's still trying to figure out what erik is trying to do. so it either means erik makes charles play this 'guess where it's hiding' game all the time (????) which doesn't really sound likely for him to do, but erik is always begging charles to get into his head so it wouldn't surprise me if he actually did this every time. god knows he's desperate enough or

erik was expecting charles to reject his offer right away, and had multiple other plans shoved up his ass if this was the case. this also seems likely, he's obsessive enough to have thought multiple ways through. 

anyways, he puts his two fists up and pulls up the most mortal sentence in existence. one he knows charles won't be able to deny him

"just ONE game 🥺 for old time's sake???? 🥺🥺🥺" man stfu you are 62 years old GET UPPPP 

anyways - pay attention to his wording. 

"just one game" because erik came ALLLL this way for charles, so charles might as well play ONE game with him, and then erik could be gone - if charles wanted it that way. 

"for old's time sake" when things were easier and when they were more at peace - when they were on each other's side. when they were together and the mansion, just after charles had saved him and gave him a hom- oh wait 

(also, there's 100% a hidden meaning here. and there’s also a 100% chance i’m reaching but idc. the pawn could be in his left hand or his right. the possibility is 50/50. the only way charles could know with 100% certainty was if he entered erik's mind - if he took up erik's offer. but he could also not get into erik's mind and just... guess and fail - by thus, not taking erik's offer. erik is giving him an out, a choice to make the first move)

(and the chess piece he offers charles a WHITE pawn. the white pieces are the first ones to move. 

also also if you have paid attention to the previous movies, erik is always the one to use the white pieces, this is the first movie where we see charles play with white)

anyways, charles does struggle a bit with the choice, but ultimately he decides to accept erik's proposal and """guesses""" right.  

and going from erik's... entire face and smirk lmao i'm guessing charles went into his head to get it right. mind you, this is like sex for them

charles accepts - erik is very relieved to know he's not the only one who's down horrendously. and after the worst guessing game in history (seriously, the pawn was in erik's right pocket and then he had it hidden in his right hand... man i guessed that shit and i'm not even a telepath) they start rearranging the board

so anyway, erik gives charles this look like he wants to climb him like a tree, which means that playing edward 'down embarrassingly bad' rochester in jane eyre (2011) finally fucking paid off

erik doesn't even blink mind you, and charles doesn't take his eyes off erik either way, which means they are just STARING at each other without blinking for god knows how long LMAOOO 😭😭😭

once everything is said and done, erik makes a silly little joke and charles rebuts. then erik gives him the biggest smile i've ever seen him give to someone since magda, and then he follows it up with a smaller, softer smile with no teeth

seeing this for the first time in the theater was like getting shot in the chest, no joke

mind you erik stopped trying like three minutes ago but for some reason, the first time we finally see charles soften up in the ENTIRE movie is after he sees erik smiling at him. which could mean nothing.

and the thing is: charles does have a big heart, and he means well, most of the time, but he also doesn’t necessarily has… the best way of showing it with his actions lol. erik knows this, and he knows charles has a thing for lost causes, for people the society has given up on. charles threw himself into the freezing water to save erik - even when he didn't KNOW him. 

AND he also knows charles has the biggest soft spot for him, he KNOWS - because all those years ago, charles' biggest accussation wasn't "you paralyzed me" it was "you left me". because after erik lost his wife and daughter, charles rushed to find him, to make sure he was okay. because nine years ago, charles looked at apocalypse and said "fuck you you are twisting erik's grief, and you are hurting him" to A GOD BTW. TO HIS FUCKING FACE NO FUCKS GIVEN AT ALL

tldr: call erik the fucking violinist because boy he sure knows how to play charles like a fucking instrument and how to press all the right keys to get him to say yes to him. he gave charles an out if he didn't want to come with him, but he also came PREPARED for it, mind you, he came PREPARED to take charles with him to genosha. he didn't get to take charles with him 30 years ago, and he was going to be dammed if he didn't take charles with him NOW (this time with no bullet wound and no helmet lol)

and the most insane thing to me is, that he knows charles has a soft spot for him, he's known this for 30 years, and yet, the only time he uses it in his favor is to get charles to say yes to him on this. the only time he uses it is when he thinks he can do something to help charles - to give him back all the kindness charles gave to him 30 years ago. 

anways i'm insane. i'll be back here eating glass if you need me. i'm so normal about them. simon kinberg broke something in me 5 years ago
