I don't give a toss about Naruto anymore, but this made me smile.

ROUND THREE

UCHIHA SASUKE vs TENTEN

Reasons for submission under the cut

Sasuke

he is trying so hard to do what he is supposed to, even succeeding at it, only for everything to be a lie

he's authentic and driven and he doesn't care what other people think, if he believes something he will go ahead and do it, unafraid of paying the price

Sasuke was right about everything

he went through so much and never gave up, it's very inspiring and means a lot

Fortnite Sasuke

despite everything he can't help but love

his relationship with Itachi is one of the most heartbreaking and beautiful sibling relationships, genocide aside it's very relatable

he looks just like Mikoto.....

he's beautiful!

he has so much compassion for others and will do what he can for them, but still does not compromise his own beliefs and goals to do so

he's so personal to [submitter] and has been the sole reason of making it through hard times

love is stored in the Sasuke

true heroine or the Naruto series

all his outfits slay

the whole manga wouldn't even exist if it weren't for him

kind, compassionate, driven by love, fucking iconic

trans masc icon and legend

the revolutionnnn

he is an emo icon

a communist

a transgay legend

[submitters] family is generationally effected by genocide so Sasukes justice means the world to [submitter]. Sasukes love means EVERYTHING to [submitter]

he is full of love

very strong

excellent gay representation

owner of the worlds most special eyes

the most relatable Naruto character

a snarky lil bitch :)

he went thru so much & gets too much hate for someone who only wanted revenge for his murdered clan

cat boy

femme fatale

kept going despite all the trauma he went through

flawless observation skills

analytical, intelligent

never let anyone push him around or manipulate him

full of love and kindness

pacifist at heart (refuses to kill innocents)

sought to destroy Konoha

serves cunt in all his outfits

friend of animals

killed Orochimaru because he felt like it

Tenten

her main jutsu is just throw so many knives at you and I respect that

her weapons mastery/sealing jutsu had so much potential and it never got the treatment it deserved

team Gai supremacy

#baybee #papabay #sweet baby girl Tenten #screw you sasuke #comments in the poll said that if sasuke loses its homophobia #I'll gladly wear that as a badge if it lets me hate Sasuke #but its like passive aggressive homophobia because the gays know I love them #platonically of course #honestly though Sasukes fight with KillerBee is my favorite scene in the series #Because its Sasuke getting beat over and over again #And Bee is the best #But if I keep talking about Bee it's going to get me going down old familiar roads and I can't travel those no more #But seriously screw Sasuke #He's the worst

FFVII Localization mini-rant

Okay, so I loved the original release of FFVII for what it was. At the time I knew it was an unfinished game, and from what I have learned about the development a lot of stuff was left out. But it was a good product (even if FFVI is still my fav).

Anyways, I like the original localization name for Aeris, and I really don't like the way that Tifa is pronounced in the voice-acted English versions.

Let's start with the obvious. "Aerith" is the "correct" localization of the character's name - this is because her name is supposed to be a reference to "Earth". But is it really that clear-cut? Her Katakana/Romaji name is spelled - エアリス・ゲインズブール, Earisu Geinzubūru It's that "Earisu" that gets me - because Japanese pronunciation protocols drop the U from the end of that giving us "Earis" which is where the original localization gets Aeris from as the vowel swap makes more sense. Moreover, this way gets pronounced similar to the name "Eris" which comes from the Greek. So, the translation becomes a question of - do we go with the intended name meaning, or with a direct translation of the name from Katakana? Now clearly, new translations state that it was always supposed to be a variation of "Earth" but that is inconsistent with the Japanese Katakana spelling of Earth. So, because of the variation of languages you wind up back with forcing the -th at the end, which goes against the Japanese spelling and winds up creating a tonal lisp when pronounced in English.

Now, I point out the problem with localization inconsistencies because of Cloud. クラウド・ストライフ, Kuraudo Sutoraifu - Now, it's clear that the intention of Cloud's name is just that, "Cloud" Because it's a non-Japanese name we go with the Katakana, otherwise he'd be named Kumo in Hiragana. But that still gives us the weird thing where the localization has the easy answer - Cloud doesn't require that last "o" at the end of it. This was why Aeris was chosen for the first localization. It's easy to drop the last "u" at the end because that's the way Japanese folks would pronounce it... but the problem is that when the Japanese pronounce Cloud's name in Japanese... the "o" at the end isn't dropped. Thus we find ourselves with an inconsistent rule.

This brings us to Tifa. Now, the Japanese pronunciation of "i" is usually done with a "ee" causing her name to be pronounced as "Teefa" rather than how I pronounce it. "Tiffa" as in a shortening of "Tiffany". This also happens to Tidus in FFX, his name is pronounced as "Teedus" rather than being a derivation of the Roman name "Titus".

This comes full circle in my rant about how inconsistent the localization winds up becoming. The flipping of vowels for Earisu/Aerith, the shortcuts of Kuraudo/Cloud (where vowels are dropped entirely), and the non-localized vowel sounds of Teefa/Tiffa.

It winds up becoming a mess where some things are localized for English-speaking audiences, but other things are not - and that's what I really hate about it.

The quest for more Johnny x Velma sometimes takes me to strange places on the internet.

This time it was an artist on pixiv, a website I'm glad I don't know how to read, but I'm glad I found what I was looking for :D

Johnny is not in favor of the new take on Velma. His heart is set on the classic.

Johnny didn't swoon over Velma at first, but by gosh when he fell he fell hard.

Having themselves a nice little, not-so-secret, office romance. But seriously, they've got more in common than... other matches for dear Velma.

(Johnny Bravo and Velma Dinkley of course, not Eddy and Captain Planet)

Reminder

There are more versions of Scooby-Doo where Velma is straight than a lesbian. Enjoy the moment, fly your flags, but the underlying questions of: is this pandering, to what extent is projection/identification/representation useful, and the issue of whether this is bi-erasure or not are all going to hang over this movie.

But those questions don't really even need answers since this is a disposable product that will get lost in the mix with the dozens of other movies and series.

So, enjoy the parade but Memento Mori.

#Velma #Velma Dinkley #JohnnyVelma is the superior Velma ship #You know it. I know it. Moltar know it. Zorak know it. Tansut know it. Brak know it. Lokar know it. And those other people know it #too. #If you don't know that reference then I can't help you #You're too young to be playing this fandom game #It's not that I'm too old and I'm not with the times #It's that you aren't old enough to know that you're getting played #It used to be a game we could all play together #Or at least it seemed that way #Nowadays it's always the little guys versus each other #I miss when it was us versus the bigwigs #David vs Goliath #Nowadays it feels more like Goliath trying to get Saul and David to fight each other instead of him #Though eventually Saul did fight David but that was another matter #What were we talking about again #Ah yes the fact that they paired Velma with another lesbian villain #Like Marcy was a villain in her own right as well #Like that's kinda problematic in its own way #There's no wholesome happy ending for y'all out there #Just a bunch of frustrations stemming from improper value alignments #I mean I guess I get the whole aesthetic of the good guy liking the bad girl but it doesn't really work out so often in fiction or reality #Anyways I wrote another essay in tags when I should have done it in the body post #oh well #JohnnyVelma is still a healthier and more in-character ship than what you just got #I'm glad you're happy but the truth is this character will likely never be seen again #in other words #it's just a phase

If I were the one writing Dr Who

So, I checked out after season 1 of Capaldi, was not jiving with his character and how disrespectful he was of Danny Pink.  Read a little here and there from his run and Whittaker’s.  The truth though is that the 50th Anniversary kind of killed my enthusiasm for modern Who - I was never satisfied with the backstory of the “Time Lock” and the resolution of the Time War.

But, my biggest problem is the concept of “The Timeless Child” and that character being The Doctor - and I have an easy way to retcon it and bring back The Doctor’s 12 regeneration limit without changing much.

1. Let’s go back to the episode Utopia and Professor Yana (The Master).  Now there is some speculation that The Master has gone beyond his regeneration limit as well.  But where does The Master regenerate at the end of this episode?  The TARDIS. 2. Now that I mention that, how many times has The Doctor regenerated in The TARDIS?  More times than not.  And what is at the heart of The TARDIS?  A powerful time vortex (which we know can pass on certain properties, especially where life is concerned: Turn a hand into a person, cause a conceived fetus to develop time lord like properties, etc). 3. We see what The Doctor’s own “grave” looks like.  A space-time energy ribbon.  What if a similar, but more powerful energy existed in the heart of The TARDIS?  What if The TARDIS was powered by not just the “grave” of a time lord, but by The Timeless Child herself?

Making The Tardis The Timeless Child would give us explanation for: memories being passed on, physical/dna properties being inherited by those nearby, Time Lords who have regenerated in The TARDIS would also be “borrowing” energy from The TARDIS to bypass their natural regeneration limit (explaining why both The Doctor and The TARDIS have massive energy feedback explosions when it happens - moreover, it would explain why The TARDIS’ interior changes as well), it would also explain why The TARDIS has a consciousness (explaining the character Idris in The Doctor’s Wife - but why stop there?

Make The Timeless Child the wife of the First Doctor.  She had lived so long as an experiment, only to eventually be forgotten as the race of the Time Lords ascend to their place as the First Race.  Over the ages she grows tired and eventually regenerates her last time, finding happiness with an ambitious, but confused man who was given the name The Doctor from the Time Vortex.  They live together, have a family, and she leaves before her end to become a power source for The TARDIS - but as she is different, The TARDIS she exists at the heart of is also different.

Anyways - that’s what I would do if I were in charge of Doctor Who.  Also, I’d build a season or two around the Doctor regenerating/splitting into The Valeyard - because that sounds like fun.  And maybe bring back the Guardians in a plotline to actually tie up the loose ends of The Time War: The “Could’ve been King”, the Nightmare Child, the Skaro Degradation, etc etc.  All those things that were going to come back with the opening of the Time Lock.  The fact that Gallifrey escaped and only Rassilon was the bad guy felt like such a cop out.  Make the Time War terrifying again - a banished reality trying to break back into real space.  The Time Lock bursting at the seams.

That’s what I’d do, but heh - I don’t even watch the show anymore so it doesn’t matter either way.  It’s a show that always played fast/loose with canon anyways so it doesn’t really matter, but I think it’s easily fixable.

#Doctor Who #not a shipping post #because I never really liked River Song #but I'm a bitter ex fan so my opinion doesn't really matter #but I'm free to speak my mind #I still have this nice TARDIS blanket that my friend got me as a gift #and I bought my brother a TARDIS plush toy that lights up and makes the sound for Christmas years back #so I've at least supported the franchise by buying merchandise #and as we all know from spaceballs that's what really matters
