#subtitles!

[waterlinkedgirl]

Hey everyone! Water here! 💙💛 It might be a bit of an unusual post, but there's been a few folks who have asked if I have a ko-fi or the likes, or have otherwise said they would have liked to have supported me monetarily one way or another. While this is obviously my hobby rather than my job, and my subtitles will forever remain free, I don't think there's anyone who wouldn't accept a gesture of gratitude in the form of a penny or a dime if offered so, especially for something they put time and work in. (And some money but that doesn't count since I'd have bought the myus in question anyway, haha).

So I have! opened a ko-fi! ✨

Its main purpose, though, will be giving those who wish to give generic monetary tips/thank-yous a way to do so 🥺. I won't be taking outright commissions for for example shonichis, as detailed in the blog post on that page, because of my turnaround time (more than months) and, well, the tightrope that these kinds of things naturally walk on. However, what I can do is set up a Queue!

I have a set schedule of Main Myus, that won't be influenced by anything other than current events and my own whims. However, I also have a bunch of Side Projects of various sizes (shonichis, other performances of multi-day streams, non-toumyu works like Toukabu, Kiden, or Tenimyu, etc.) that I could bump up based on interest!

So what I can do is the following: I'll make a Tumblr post with my current projected Queue of Main Myus and Side Projects. If you wish to tip/sponsor me, and in it you mention looking forward to a certain Main Myu or Side Project/would've otherwise have liked commissioning me for it, I'll put an exclamation mark ! next to the title! Based on those exclamation marks ! , in other words, based on interest, I'll move the Side Projects up or down in their respective queues, or add them to the list of projects I plan to soon ('soon') be working on.

It'll be a slower system than direct commissions, since Main Myus will still take precedence and those also take months to do properly. It will be more akin to weighted suggestions, and with the amount of Side Projects I have I might have to put some projects on hold at times, so please don't tip with a "looking forward to" if you wouldn't have tipped otherwise!

And, I hope this speaks for itself, but my askbox on Tumblr here will keep on being my main means of communication, and will obviously stay open for those who prefer to give thanks with words rather than with coins! I, very simply put, enjoy it when people tell me my subs have helped them enjoy a work 🥺

Not on TikTok often but I heard this audio I had to make this edit with it. Here's a link to the original

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

You! American fan of foreign or otherwise un-American media! Are you aware of the nuances and cultural differences that are portrayed in that media and have an understanding that you as an outsider looking in should be careful with the lenses you analyze that media in because you have a different perspective that is not catered to?

Leila Khaled: Hijacker (2006, Lina Makboul)

-Could you be described as a terrorist? -Our enemies say so. Our enemies call any form of popular resistance terrorism. Who decides and defines what terrorism is? As far as l'm concerned, occupation is terrorism. My people and l have a right to fight it. l don't care what others call it. People have a right to fight those who occupy their country by all means possible, including weapons. That's what it says in the UN declaration. But Leila, if you look up ''terrorist'' in a dictionary?

You, the whole of Sweden and Europe and the USA can travel to Haifa. But l can't, I'm not allowed to. Not just me. 5 million Palestinians can't see Palestine. lsrael doesn't care about international law. Why should we accept that?

sam and brennan’s greatest weaknesses (respectively)

(transcript under the cut)

[transcript:

Clip 1:

Elaine: It’s possible this is my new favorite bird!

Sam: I agree. Before, my favorite birds were... [pauses]

Elaine: What?

Sam: Fuck me.

Elaine: [Laughs]

Sam: Um, bluejay. A robin. A cardinal. A flamingo... [pauses] Dinosaurs were technically birds. A pterodactyl—

Brennan: Sorry, dinosaurs were technically birds?!

Sam: I was just listening to an NPR story about this, Brennan.

Brennan: I believe that you mean birds were technically dinosaurs. Not all dinosaurs, were birds!

Elaine: He has a point.

Sam: Oh god in heaven, I don’t know if I know five more birds.

Clip 2:

Carolyn: Woody Harrelson has the vibe of someone who should have been cancelled years ago, but remains one of the rare celebrities loved by both sides of the political aisle, like Dolly Parton, The Rock, and... Kid Rock.

Brennan: That’s the opposite of these five celebrities that both the left and the right hate... Honestly, just like a list of five celebrities would be enough to really... [sigh] oh god, who’s famous? Um...

Sam: Who’s famous?

Carolyn: [Laughs]

Sam: This is like me with the birds.

Brennan: Oh, god, let’s switch. Let Sam name five famous people and I’ll name five birds. I’ll name a hundred birds!

Sam: Nobody wants your birds, Brennan!

Brennan: PLEASEEEEEEE
