Ellen McLain’s commentary from my trivia playthrough

#She's so cute <3 #WPP #Portal #Ellen McLain #If you haven't played through the audio commentary I would Absolutely recommend it it is So fun #I clicked out of curiosity - kind of just expecting like a movie's audio commentary y'know? Like a video that highlighted specific scenes #No it's just the whole game again but with trivia pop-ups! I love that!! #It reminded me so much of like trivia track or the pop up fun facts from special editions of movies I would watch as a kid #But you can play through them!! You have to click on them and they spin! I love that!!! #I always love hearing the design and development process - fascinating how the playtesters reacted to this new game! #We take it for granted now but yeah I imagine it would've been very confusing at the time #And I was like ''Well it was such a small team and Ms. McLain was such a large part of it - surely she'll have a few bubbles?'' #She does lol - as soon as I got to her first one (it was a slow burn! They buried the lead with her lol I'm already invested!) I had to go #I saved-quit the game out of sheer excitement and giddiness lol I had to sleep on it before I was ready to come back #It is so cool to hear her natural voice ah <3 And the kinds of direction she was given! Other bubbles also talk about her vocal direction :) #Very cool! I wonder what TTS they used for reference :0 #But to hear her real laugh without the audio processing over and and she still sounds like GLaDOS! I mean of course she does but just jfdksl #That's /her/ laugh! They share a laugh! It's a very similar laugh!! #Not to mention her talking about wanting to play and just fdskalfd they clearly did such a good job with her performance and ahhh #It's too cute it's all too cute sharing a room with GLaDOS while her voice actor talks about making a cake to share with her friends stopppp #I am so enamoured <3 #I also took a bunch of screenshots of GLaDOS still shit-talking while she was being destroyed lol #Actually beat the ending in one try this time :P I ran out of time the last time pfft #But now I've beaten it twice in as many days :D Although I did start it the first time several days ago - but I beat it again quickly! #Has me all the more itching to replay 2 ♪ #WPVG

naruto crack au where kakashi manages to successfully drill the "never abandon your comrades" thing into team seven's heads

so when sasuke deserts naruto and sakura immediately desert with him. like he gets to the village gates and they're just waiting for him bags packed like "what took u so long we doing this or what"

he tries to get them to go back bc of course he does. "no you losers this is about me i'm going to kill my brother. also i'll have to kill my best friend for the super sharingan and you two are like the only people i talk to". but they do not listen. teamwork sasuke we will defeat your brother (OUR brother #communism) with the power of teamwork. just like kakashi-sensei said

suddenly orochimaru has to deal with three horrible little goblins with an even more codependent relationship than his old team

#naruto #team seven #orochimaru's favorite is sakura bc she's smart and respectful and gives kabuto headaches #kabuto's favorite is naruto bc he thinks he's funny #nobody's favorite is sasuke. he's fine with that tho #also sakura can still summon slugs she made a bet with tsunade ahead of time for the right to make the contract #kakashi keeps trying to get his team back but keeps approaching them one on one #which always ends in whoever he's talking to going ''i can't abandon my teammates sensei wtf'' #obito is watching all of this from the bushes and laughing his ass off #the sound five live bc. nobody bothered to tell tsunade team seven had left until it was way too late #orochimaru keeps her updated tho #every time kakashi tries to sneak in and steal his kids back oro sends him back with pictures of how they're doing #''little sakura-chan is making excellent progress with chakra scalpels! you must be so proud! oh wait'' #she hopes he dies #oro tells naruto who his parents are to spite jiraiya #unfortunately he does this when they're all still annoying little thirteen-year-old shitheads #so sakura and sasuke are both furious and don't talk to either of them for a day #they don't even know what they're mad about they're just Mad #meanwhile sakura's parents are happy to hear she's doing well and hope she writes soon #they don't. they don't really get the treason thing #team hebi/taka still forms ofc #it's an absolute disaster #sakura's a little sad when they finally ditch orochimaru bc she'd actually really enjoyed learning from him #like yeah he was an absolutely horrible human being but. she learned a lot! #he comes back later ofc #there's sorta an awkward moment when naruto finds out gaara got abducted and demands to go after him #sasuke: ok have fun #sakura: we're going too #sasuke: fuck #orochimaru: tell sasori i said hiiiii~ <3

If anything were to happen to me, I hope that the most significant message I conveyed was that you matter, and that there is always hope. Even if a flame goes out, there are always ways to reignite it.

#this sounds incredibly ominous so I want to specify two things #I am not a danger to myself #I am not in any mortal danger #No one is seeking to harm me #I just might go away for a while soon and idk #Life is very uncertain for me right now #But I just care that you know I love you all as much as one can healthily love strangers on the internet #hearing your stories and your jokes and anecdotes and everything in between has literally gotten me through some nights

#okay so random tag post even though it's been ages #me thinks the current place i work is actually decent a la accepting-queer-ppl so?? miiiiight. consider actually putting my #pronouns in my email signature (which hardly gets used but shh) but like. the actual ones not the society/people assume anyway ones #idk i attended a virtual tech focused event for trans dov (yes early but they didn't want to put the event on sun) and you know when #everyone is just sharing their stories and experiences and it's just like... an overwhelming sense of community? anyway that #and since it was hosted by a professional org the topics were all workplace focused and mayhaps that's something i'm thinking abt for #this year. at least within our pride group I might be ready? wild bc for a long time tumblr has been the only place I feel comfy being 100% #myself. but hearing real people's stories makes me feel like that kind of community would be nice to have elsewhere too #and the whole looking to others also turns around into the leading by example thing bc then we had some breakout groups at the end for #networking which is not my favorite but! i did my intro and said I use she/her for work but will use she/they for this group and #then the next person said he/him at work but for this group he/they so that made me wonder if it was bc of me saying so first? #which if it was is kind of like oh. the way I'm looking for those people for me.. I can also be that for someone else #anyway this sounds dumb typed out but irl/professional me has always separated out queer identity so it's new to me #i'm allowed to be giddy okay. just a little. as a treat (is tumblr still using 'as a treat' i really hope so) #oh shit is this what gender euphoria feels like #alright that's it for now i think #gah emotions and whatnot #missed you all btw i'll start actually being online again soon #personal

There’s nothing quite like getting a wedding invitation from the guy you used to have a crush on in high school

#Hmm. Feels awful!! #Me to me: Maybe. I'm not quite over this. #IDK IT FEELS WEIRD MAN. I'm very happy for him. But also kinda bummed at the same time. #I think I'm more just dreading showing up and being like aha yeah! Here I am! #I haven't changed at all since we last spoke! Not at all!! #Nothing new or exciting going on with me ever. No accomplishments. No partner I can brag about. NOTHIN #Hey anybody wanna show up as my fake date. Fake dating to lovers AU /j #Idk it just feels wrong to keep hearing from my friends in high school who are all getting married and having kids #Meanwhile me. Who has never dated anybody ever. And has nothing to show from the past five years: #SORRY I'M JUST HAVING A MID-LIFE CRISIS I GUESS. AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF 26. #Me: I've been dealing with my anxiety and depression on the daily for years now and yeah that's it how are you #My friends: I got my dream job and I'm marrying the love of my life and I'm going to buy a house soon!! #I WANT TO CRAWL INTO A HOLE. AND DIE. YEAH. THAT SOUNDS GOOD #Sorry I need to sit here and feel pathetic and hate myself for a second. Then I'll get overe it #*over #Shima speaks #Maybe I can lie and say I've been backpacking through Europe for the last five months. LMAO

"if i unviel another famous anon sender-" first of all im multiple i think i have 3 or 4 different anon titles.

second of all im friends with people who know you and i can not under any circumstances let them know that im nice. so i will forever be anonymous in all the ways that matter

third of all just joined :) (with a secondary stalking account ;) ) (you guys are too terrifying wtf)

third im famous??? ☹️🥲👉👈

FIFTH of all i read the comments on my last ask and now rori is making me feel safe and that in itself feels unsafe and im feeling very conflicted

you're famous to me bestie beloved <3

#1) HOW DARE YOU HAVE DIFFERENT ANON TITLES. THAT'S BULLYING #2) 'im friends with people who know you' sounds like you're talking about irls and picturing that is really funny to me #3) YOU JOINED!!!!!!! YAY I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON <333 PLS DONT BE SHY #4) if you ever find rori of all people making you feel safe then odds are you have colossally fucked up and need to RUN #ask

the lightwood siblings are literally like. "what if three siblings who genuinely love and would die for each other lash out with the cruelest thing they can think to say when hurt because none of them ever learned proper emotional regulation or communication skills" and that's SO real of them. tbh.

(notably they're all pretty good at/about apologizing when it's called for)

#sorry to exclude max from this but the show did it first #he is simply not around enough to be part of this dynamic #shadowhunters #the lightwood siblings #the lightwoods #do you ever think about how valentine sent jace to MARYSE. TO MARYSE!!! #his second in command his most efficient recruiter who believed in him who left the cause as soon as it became clear they would lose #bc she is first and foremost a Survivor #because he said he sent jace to people he knew would take care of him #screaming crying throwing up. actually #bc that led jace to his siblings!!!!! #like valentine sucks obvi but. wowza there is a lot to unpack there #people might disagree about izzy #but i am thinking about “i'm not your baby sister anymore alec i don't need you to protect me” or something along those lines #and hears the thing #maybe that doesn't SOUND cruel #but she's taling to alec #who knows really well and is a big brother who needs to be needed through and through #she said the cruelest thing to not just anyone BUT TO /HIM SPECIFICALLY/ bc that's how well she knows him #anyway. this is not a hate post. legitimatley i'm so obsessed with all of them

hate and war to all terfs on this earth. i hate y’all and i hope u get deprogrammed soon 🙏🏻

#went to block one and saw a boomer ass sounding post like #‘back in my day we didnt need to answer questions like what is a woman? you just knew by looking at on’ #‘yeah it’s like CIA tactics to divide and destabilise the oppressed’ #ARE YOU GUYS??? HEARING YOUSELVES?? #it’s not trans people who came up with the ‘define a woman’ bs. it’s transphobic pieces of shit like u. #‘divide and destabilise the oppressed’ exactly!! you’re so close to getting it!! #it’s almost as if transphobia ties into misogyny!! who would have thought!! #girl fucking use your brain. girl please. who is question what a ‘real’ woman is. is it the random trans girl just living her life. #or is it u along with all the far right and bigots?! #ALSO AS IF TRANS PEOPLE DIDNT EXIST 20 YEARS AGO? #WE ALWAYS EXISTED AND ALWAYS WILL FUCKING BITE ME #and your obssession with trans women is gross. how progressive of u to blame all your problems on women you dont recognise as such :) #you’re such a feminist :) #also y’all say u hate men so much but i never see y’all bitch about cis men. and i bet none of y’all have EVER met a trans girl irl. #go touch some grass. fr. and stop agreeing with fascists on gender politics if you’re such a feminist #most of y’all i go block are under 23 btw so. hope u get out of terf spaces soon girl. get better #mine

for some reason ive been extremely paranoid about my phone getting an eas alert while im sleeping or trying to sleep, but ive been especially since the national test back in october. like generally im pretty good about them, they scare me but the fear is completely gone after a couple days max and i don't worry about it going off again. not sure why ive been so afraid since the test. the night before last i almost shut off my phone but i went into settings to turn off all alerts except for national, but i suddenly got really scared i was going to accidentally wake my whole house by somehow blaring the noise (it doesn't unless you go to past alerts and tap one). last night i had the same fear but didn't touch my phone and went to sleep fairly quickly after i cried. and instead of my phone in real life making a sound, my phone and computer in my dream made the sound instead. so now im scared of falling asleep and my own dreams

#not a vent #i feel like my phone vibrates more when getting those alerts than like phone calls #when the national test went off i was holding my phone and then again it was on the floor next to me #and both times it was loud vibrating louder than the vibration i get from phone calls #that sound is terrifying like compared to alert sounds from around the world why is ours so fuckingscary #i know it's to get your attention but is it required of me to be extremely paranoid and feel like im being watched as soon as i hear it #also laptops don't receive eas alerts at least mine doesn't. you have to install some software or something

[running-in-the-dark]

I had another idea to fix my fucked up sleep schedule: maybe sleeping on the couch would work. on purpose, I mean. I nap there (accidentally) all the time.

it worked! I managed to fall asleep, and because there's huge windows there, the sun woke me up before noon. I got up and everything!

and then I spent all day in that same spot on the couch, watching YouTube and playing Timberborn. I woke up at 10.. and now it's 6 and I'm obviously still awake. my brain is so awake. I can't stop thinking. it's not even anything bad, I just have so much energy right now.

#I think I'm probably getting kinda manic #I mean I got like. 5 hours of sleep last night. I usually need twice that #also bid on several dolls on ebay (I'm not allowed on there anymore because this happens every fucking time. though at least this time I #stopped myself quickly. but damn I've been feeling so shitty and like. there's literally no point in me waking up tomorrow you know. so. #it's kinda good to know that I'll be getting a pretty doll soon. idk man. it fucking sucks but I CAN'T work on this right now and none of my #other coping mechanisms are working) #ugggh #personal #I'm listening to rain sounds and cat purring with my ear buds. so I don't hear any of the noise that's now starting. ugh I hate everything #(you can tell that the thoughts have now moved to being pretty bad actually)

people who have changed their names. how do you Know

#been thinking about changing mine #not for gender reasons i just feel… extremely neutral towards my current name #but due to mixed feelings about my name there aren’t many options i would seriously consider and idk if the one i have in mind would suit me #or if it would quickly get worn out like my current name feels like it has #and idk how to tell #but like. i have one (1) option (or 2 if you count being a coward) #like #my parents wanted to name me after my great grandmother [redacted-1] who went by [redacted-2] #and i hear amazing things about her and am proud to have her name and still want to honor her #but my parents thought her name sounded too old-fashioned so they named me [redacted-3] #but nicknamed me soon after i was born for various reasons (i still go by that nickname) #personally i agree with my parents on [redacted-2] but i never liked [redacted-3] never identified with it #and pop culture associations make it 10x worse #however i love [redacted-1] (beautiful yiddish name w no pop culture associations i know of) even though it sounds similar to [redacted-3] #and like if you’re gonna nickname me anyway why not go with [redacted-1]. fucking commit to it #[redacted-2] is not the only nickname option #anyway [redacted-4] is a name i really like and could be a nickname for [redacted-1] (or [redacted-3] if you squint but fuck that) #but idk if i’ll like it if i actually do change my name #and idk if i have enough brain cells to process my own name changing #screams into the void

found a bunch of old voice memos and this is the first time i've listened to my own voice and thought yeah it makes so much sense that people have loved this person . woah

#personal #i was singing a song under another song (saw my wings with the bodies in the gutter). there is someone else and i cant #recognise their voice . i think maybe i was drunk and maybe so were they . i have no idea who they are but their voice is so pretty. #i ask them if theyre ok and they ask if im sure im okay with this. and then they say see you soon and theres the sound of the door. #theres the voice of someone else after this too. they say listening to chase atlantic feels like sex . i have no idea who this person is. #this file is full of strings rising and falling. reverb of a massive space. some symphony inside interrupted by another symphony. #i remember laying on the floor of the orchestra hall to listen and to hide. i remember laying my hand on the floor and thinking i could #recognise this piece just by the way the ground vibrates. #i've been thinking a lot about mereology. sorry for not talking about nihilism the past week - everyone around me has been falling apart. #this month i have watched others be stricken by grief. the other side of the equation. one day i will create a poem about the way holes are #one whole part. the way disconnects are connected to the fabric of absence. (i saw your guts without the skin attached) #i could hear how in love i was when i asked the unknown voice if they would like some water. i blew out the candles and one stayed lit. #you don't need to tell me. forever and ever. strictly fall for academics and people with a passion. asked my mathematician about manifolds #and he asked me about his hair. i will wake up tomorrow if only it is to spend half an hour making tea. the concept of going to my country #is an oncoming train with a minute's delay. i told them i want to be their friend and they told me theyd like to meet up soon #and test how deep they can bite like good friends do. do you feel ashamed of my degree? do you feel ashamed of #your dry lips? skull fast-tracked to the floor. i have a jar of hand-picked dried damask roses for tea. ill tell you about k-theory until #you shut me up.

[p2ii]

I LISTENED TO BABES IN TOYLAND FONTANELLE BTW!! the singers voice is soooo good and i rly like the roughness of it. rly good noise. smth i noticed that i think kinda happens a lot with punk bands is that a lot of the songs r kinda samey tho. but i think my fave is magick flute :]

OMG YESSS YAY!!!

Yea her voice is so strong and like, I wouldn't say it's metal by and means but it shares a similar intensity(?) And roughness Which I rlly like, I'm glad you enjoy it !!!!<3

And I get what you mean. Shes got a pretty distinct voice but every song uses it to about the same extreme so I can see how they would blend into each other, punk music is alot more fun in playlists for me for that reason 😅.

And OMG Majick flute is such a good song!!!! a bit of a different voice but it fits rlly well w the sound and the vibes are immaculate 🤌.

#also 'dead song' on Nemisisters uses the same voice as magick flute! tho its way more mellow #nemisisters in general i think have a bit more variety in sound but its been a while since ive silened to it so take it w a grain of salt X #*XP #my fave from that album is probably handsome & gretel :). probably because its what i consider the most 'intense' sounding one but i also #love the way kat bjelland 'uglifies' he voice and the contranst between intense and more girlyvoice stuff :3 #sorry i answered this a bit late i was asleep xp #and i havent yet listened to sorry mom but i promise ill get to it soon xp!!!! #psii.txt #+ ty for keeping me updated im so happy to hear what you think!!!! il this band somuch XPP!!!!
