the "Sorry, Father..." filled with emotion as the children betray her with their final double attack powerful blow, followed by Arlecchino's "For what? That pathetic excuse of an attack?" as she effortlessly blocks both their weapons had me SCREAMING. This is the exact kinda shit I want in the anime

#all of the ENG VA's for the house siblings were at their absolute best here. the range was incredible #genshin impact #genshin 4.6

Playing Arlecchino's SQ... is it just me or is something about ENG Paimon's voice direction largely more dynamic and personable? She sounds less squeaky and similar to her Mondstadt AQ tone, I like it very much.

Sometimes I see a respected mutual in my notes and remember they follow me and I'm like. Should I apologize for what I'm doing here. But they did choose to be in my house

#to my mutuals and people everywhere: never apologize #i too am a freak #my other stuff

some observations from going down a rabbit hole of japanese language xigbar yesterday

(apologies for the youtube watermarks. i got this clip from this video.)

[Video ID: a fifteen-second clip from a cutscene from kingdom hearts 3D: dream drop distance, with japanese audio and english-language visuals. it's the scene where xigbar tells sora that he's not going to wake up. end ID.]

keep in mind that this clip is just the japanese audio being played over the visuals from the english language release. the subtitles aren't a direct or literal translation of the words being spoken; they correspond to the localized dialogue that the english voice actors wouldve been given

hōchū ōtsuka (xigbar's japanese va) and james patrick stewart (his english va) give, to my ears, pretty similar vocal performances. this is the case for pretty much all of the characters ive seen so far in my xigbar-centric explorations (roxas's vas sound nearly IDENTICAL). the notable exception being xemnas, whose japanese va straight up sounds like he's trying to talk without moving his mouth

in the english dub cutscenes, the character animations often feel...floaty? disconnected? like, because they're not synced up to what the characters are saying and how, their gestures frequently seem random and unmotivated. in retrospect it's obvious that this issue wouldnt be present in the original language because that's the dialogue they would've been animated around in the first place!

now that im actually watching the character animation with the dialogue it was actually done for, i appreciate it a lot more. its so expressive. smiles.

at the end of xigbar's speech here you may notice him saying the phrase "tte hanashi." this is his japanese catchphrase! it means something along the lines of "so they say", "or so I've heard", et cetera. i love "as if" im a big fan of "as if" but i also love the idea of xigbar consistently undermining the information he gives and emphasizing how often he eavesdrops and spies on people.

he says "tte hanashi" very very often. multiple times in most of his scenes that ive seen so far. way more often than the english dub says "as if"

he doesn't say it normal like im pretty sure that's not how you say it in normal speech. like sometimes he does say it normal, but he always draws it out at least a little and often really draws it out, emphasizing it with some kind of gesture, like he does in the clip

seriously if there's a moment in the games where xigbar says something while doing a cunty little gesture he is probably saying "tte hanashi" in the japanese version

this is my new vocal stim. i can't stop saying it

I wonder why

#ffix came up in casual conversation with a guy I work with and I was like. exploding trying to calm down about how excited I was #and trying not to infodump #because what they dont tell you about conversation is that when people say 'oh yeah! I like [x]' #it's not an invitation to make the entire conversation the focus of how you both clearly LOVE and want to INTRICATELY DISCUSS [x] #rather you are meant to go 'Oh really? Me too! I'm super into [x] hmu if you wanna chat about it!' and then move on #utterly painful #man #my other stuff

A comic I made a year back when I still played genshin :,,)

The only thing that’s gonna make me come back is if they release rhinedottir or any hexen member OR drop major abyss lore 😭

This old haggle of ladies are all the emotional connection I have left IF THEY MESS IT UP AND MAKE THEM LOOK 19 OR GIVE THEM INCOMPREHENSIBLE CHARACTERISATION ISTG

REVERSE TROPE WRITING PROMPTS

Too many beds

Accidentally kidnapping a mafia boss

Really nice guy who hates only you

Academic rivals except it’s two teachers who compete to have the best class

Divorce of convenience

Too much communication

True hate’s kiss (only kissing your enemy can break a curse)

Dating your enemy’s sibling

Lovers to enemies

Hate at first sight

Love triangle where the two love interests get together instead

Fake amnesia

Soulmates who are fated to kill each other

Strangers to enemies

Instead of fake dating, everyone is convinced that you aren’t actually dating

Too hot to cuddle

Love interest CEO is a himbo/bimbo who runs their company into the ground

Nursing home au

#some of these are so inspired and full of potential holy lord #academic rivals as teachers sounds like such a fun rom com that could have a high school setting that's not hyper focused on kids for once #true hate's kiss makes me insane to consider I love it so so much #I always vouch for love triangle situations where the love interests get together instead #especially since so many unfun love triangles have the object of affection being very painfully disinterested or lackluster half the time #like lol just date each other- guys #soulmates that have to kill each other muahaHAHA love it grrr painful #too hot to cuddle could be 🔥🔥🔥 #gaaah i love so many of these #my other stuff

Things friends can't do according to allos!

(these are all things I have been told with 100% sincerity, and not stuff that I myself believe.)

Give each other meaningful gifts

Pay attention to the others likes and dislikes

Look at one another in a 'certain way' (???)

Match clothes or accessories

Hold hands for 'too long' (???)

Hug for 'too long' or hug 'too close' (???)

Cuddle because it's 'too intimate'

Not want to pull away during a hug or holding hands

Lean onto the other emotionally and physically

Smile in one another's presence

Laugh at each others jokes

Give genuine advice

Text each other 'good morning' 'good evening' 'good night' 'happy birthday' 'happy new years' 'merry Christmas' etc, etc

Ask how the others doing

I'll add more once I think of things I've forgotten

#give advice??? ask how the other is doing???? #apparently I am in deep romantic love with every person I know lmao #if you believe this and only allow yourself to accept this behavior from a romantic partner you will live a very repressed and lonely life #my other stuff
