#Idk i wish she was used more

[spongebob-connoisseur]

Knowing that the Spongebob crew doesn't know what to do with Sandy because they find her unfunny hence why she's been used less and less throughout the seasons.

#I LIKE SANDY #She was tied with spongebob as my favorite as a kid #Idk somehow it feels like shes grown away from the main friend group in the show #Shes just there #Occasionally she does have interesting interactions with characters but often very limited #I'd like to see her more😭 #Idk i feel like she can be funny but they gotta stop relying so much on her being 'the smart one' #And she works well with another character to bounce off of #But in order to do that you've got to work out and fix how she interacts with characters which they've definitely tried there are some good #Modern episodes with her #Idk i wish she was used more #At least she's getting her own movie #the spongebob connoisseur #spongebob squarepants #spongebob #sb #spongebon squarepants #spongebob meme #Sandy cheeks

so i remembered the scene in book!thg where katniss observes cato's manic reaction to her blowing up the supplies and clove/marvel trying to point to the sky to suggest that the person that did it is most likely dead and try to calm him down... and now i'm just like thinking of a hilarious dynamic established between cato and clove where cato has his anger issues and clove has gotten to know him so thoroughly, having had to experience the arena with him as her ally/partner and being forced to spend several weeks together, that she becomes one of the few people that can use logic and rationality to appease him, and frequently uses these strategies. and he in turn encourages her sadistic side and allows her to give in to her own rage. they would have such a good push and pull dynamic, riling one another up but also bringing each other back down to earth.

#idk what the point of any of this is i'm just rambling #i really wish we'd gotten more characterization/more of their bond #like obviously the book was from katniss's perspective so she's not going to like give us deep several chapter biographies of the otherkids #but nevertheless it feels like we lost out on such amazing characters that would complement each other so well #especially (but not necessarily) as a romantically compatible ship #them also having known each other before the games/being lovers is unlikely but I can see how they might partially fall for one another #and become attracted to each other as they let themselves bond #the hunger games #clato #cato x clove #anna speaks #cato #clove

I was rereading War Games to refresh my memory on Steph's death, and did they ever reconcile her return with how her identity as Robin became public knowledge? Did I miss that?

#stephanie brown #spoiler #batgirl #robin #batfam #putting it in the tags because i genuinely want to know #also it turns out that while i love steph's run as batgirl and how she came back from her death stronger and without much drama #i kind of feel like she needed some drama actually. like she deserved it. for her rebirth to have weight and for people to really truly care #idk it feels like they just used her death to spotlight jason's return which like. okay deserved but come on..give her SOMETHING #i love her batgirl run. i love how she approaches her new resolve to crimefighting. but i do wish i got to see the mental journey going from #war games to new Stephanie more

So fun fact for those of you new to Danny Phantom crossovers, specifically to Danny Phantom lore—Phantom is entirely capable of doing incredible feats of strength and endurance. He once, canonically, lifted a school bus full of children without issue. On the other hand, Fenton, human Danny Fenton? He’s failing gym class. He’s not like, faking it either. He is not thinking that far ahead. He’s GENUINELY bad at PE. So is Tucker, actually. SAM however, is INCREDIBLY GOOD. One of the best in class, actually. And Jazz has at least been shown to enjoy VR kickboxing (or whatever we’re calling what she was up to during the whole Danny Got Shrunk With Dash episode).

So, like. Yeah. For the most part, in fanon it’s a little ignored, especially as we do see Danny do some pretty cool flips, some while still in ‘human’ form. But canonically he’s pretty weak and has needed help to not, like… die. (Maternal Instinct is one episode that shows this—Maddie and Danny end up stranded in the middle of the forest because… long story short, it’s a Vlad scheme. And she spends most of her time when she’s with Danny protecting him from the… everything that’s trying to kill them, which is, in fact, everything. Involves a scene where Danny sits in a tree as his mom fights an ectobear if I remember correctly. This is me blatantly telling you to watch Maternal Instinct by the way.)

Do with THAT what you will.

#danny phantom #danny phantom crossover #listen there’s lots of canon stuff we should use more #like. seeing Danny have more ghostly attributes is fun #I like it! #but I wish it got balanced with .phantom. being more human like. which doesn’t always happen #and rarely in a like. idk how to phrase it. horror way? #while fanon does sometimes separate Fenton from Phantom and I have too for story reasons #in canon it does a GREAT job of setting it up as just Danny. there’s not really a separation. #and yet the lines between Phantom and Fenton are VERY distinct #Danny does do ghost stuff as a human #but it’s always portrayed as either an accident because of sudden powers—understandable #a power acting up because Ghosts—again. understandable #or very intentional. #so there is basis for that. but phantom is also like. one of the only ghosts with a human skin tone #iirc at least #spectra SORTA does but spectra is frankly terrifying #like. we should use her more as a trauma point tbh #she tried to kill Jazz? to depress the entire school INCLUDING Danny #so she could feed #and then the time everyone got a ghost bug and Danny ended up strapped to a table and she tried to steal his dna for an immortality skin #which. she specified Fenton dna and Fentonightingales were witchhunters. #an untapped lore source in crossover. I rarely go to the normal fanfics so idk if it’s different there #…. I should go there more but crossovers tend to be more up my alley in creepiness and jokes #eh. should check in anyways bc maybe that’s changed now lol #why is the phandom like this they ask? pls look at the canon material dear LORDT.

Nefarious, anti-Zelink localization choices in TotK

I would argue that they are not a thing.

So what I’ve been seeing, is mostly discourse around The House. 

Mainly, that one line in Zelda’s diary, where Zelda refers to the house as “my house” in the English text as seen below: 

The argument seems to be that she does not say “my house” in the original Japanese. I’ve even seen people go as far as to claim she wrote “our house”. Aight, let’s take a peek then:

So indeed, there is no trace of  私の家 (my house), but neither is there 私たちの家 (our house). It’s just 家 (”house” / “the house”). 

As you know.  Pronouns aren’t nearly as pervasive in japanese as they are in English. I do think it’d be strange for her to use a possessive here, like, you know. Given that we know that it’s this here house she’s referring to, y’know. And she’s writing in her own diary, there’s no need to specify. Like, It’s the house. This house. What other house is there that she had an extra room built at? None, of course, right. Right. 

So anyway, what’s the correct translation then? ~I don’t know.~ If you wanna stick close to the original jp’s lack of possessive here, you’d say “the house”, i guess, but listen: “my house” is a perfectly reasonable option, as well. I know some of y’all hate that it makes it sound like she’s excluding Link here, and sure you’re allowed to feel that way but. I. don’t think it’s wrong tbh honest??? 

And “our house” would have worked, too, probably, but then it would have leaned a littttttle too heavily on the Zelink and I can sort of understand that they want to keep it at least a little nebulous. (because 1. that is what they do and 2. it’s more fun that way)

And unfortunately “our house” would have also contradicted another little piece of info found in the Japanese version regarding... the well, again. more specifically what the game calls the well. 

In English it is referred to as Zelda’s Secret Well. And that is what it is. It is very much the well that was built for her own purposes, and it is a secret chamber. No complaints here.

The well is labeled a little differently in Japanese, tho. The game calls it ゼルダの家の井戸, which could translate to "Zelda's house's water well" or "the water well by Zelda's house" (or whatever else you can think of that has “Zelda’s house” and “well” in it, probably, im just giving examples so u get the idea).

(click here if you’re on desktop and can’t zoom in but want to)

So, in fact, you could say that in Japanese, the house is clearly stated to be Zelda’s house. Woops, back to square one it is, then. 

But do you see? Are you seeing? While Zelda does call it “my house” in the English text seemingly leaving no room for Link, you could also argue that the localization team went out of their way to not call it “Zelda’s house” when they absolutely could have. By calling the well “Zelda’s secret well” instead of going for a closer-to-the-original “well outside Zelda’s house”, they recreated a little bit of room for speculation. Wow!!!! Cool!! 

And this is just like. One little tidbit I decided to focus on, but my point is:

There is no secret anti-Zelink agenda in the localization team. Translating means making choices, you might disagree with some of them, but that does not make them wrong or vile, I don’t think. 

And the siege mentality I’ve seen some people adopt regarding Zelink strikes me as very misplaced. We are eating good. There is food aplenty. Why are you digging for extra scraps that may not even exist? 

Granted, comparing the original text with its translations can be super fun (heck I enjoy it, to an extent!), but try to think about your own attitude as you do so. Try to go into with curiosity and humility in your heart instead of righteous vindicativeness. You might find that more satisfying. 

Now of course, sometimes translation errors do occur, and criticism is warranted, but try to take a step back and ask yourself if this really means the localization team are a bunch of buffoons who either have no idea what they’re doing or are actively trying to ruin your Zelda experice, or if, perhaps, instead, sometimes people fuck up. For various reasons that you may not be aware of.

(Rereading this i now realize that i am tone-policing and. Yeah. I am. deal with it)

One more thing, you don’t have to believe randos who claim “X is canon in Japanese and they censored it in English”, especially if they’re not elaborating or providing evidence. (You can choose to believe them if you want to, at the end of the day, but just be aware that you believed without seeing. So think before you spread the word around, right?)

One final, final thing, you can always set your nintendo switch to Japanese and experience the game in its original language, for yourself. Isn’t that the coolest? I wish this was possible for all games. Thanks, Nintendo!

#anyway i don't care about any of this #MY zelda is french and annoying neither jp nor us zelda are canon to me #Tears of the Kondom #totk #wake up bestiiiiies kon is posting discourse #discourse that she has no business sticking her nose in but hey its the internet #no but like seriously this whole #'oh in japanese it meant something else' #'oh in japanese that is a lot more emotional and spiritual blahblahblah' #i am tired #like im sure it is the case sometimes but #the japanese text is not a magical treasure trove where all your wishes will be fullfilled #sometimes tadaima just means im home and im home works just fine to convey the emotions its meant to #this is another debate entirely #just #idk #whatever peeps #Zelink #localization discourse #oh and uh #disclaimer: i don't know japanese actually

ive said it before and ill say it again house md needed to do one of those stupid 2000s tv show drama musical episodes. none of the angst would've even mattered to me if house and wilson had a duet about being doctors or whatever

#house md #i have thought about this a LOT #there are so many ways they could've done it and had it not be canon just make it someones hallucination or something #it couldve been for a christmas special #OK BUT HEAR ME OUT THEY DO A CHRISTMAS CAROL PARODY AND HOUSE IS SCROOGE #THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST COULD BE CHASE OR CAMERON FROM HIS OLD TEAM OR EVEN CUDDY TALKING ABOUT BACK WHEN SHE HIRED HIM IDK THERE ARE #POSSIBILIES #i loved the get happy singing sequence and i just think it would be healing to have more of those #we know rsl can sing he used to be a musical kid #and we know jesse spencer can sing bc of when he did in the show and it was randomly great #please i wish they had done this it would make my life #hate crimes md #hilson #james wilson #gregory house #speaking into the ether

wait off topic if I change Cinder's semblance for my rwby canon-adjacent au.... would this be controversial editing to warn people that the tags are novel length but that i love them and also @graythegreyt pls read them when u have a chance

#wick lore #i have asked myself this question with almost every character but for cinder i was thinking abt her dustweave (?) clothing #dustweave. dust infused. something like that #her v1 outfit that has the design on the sleeves that lights up when she sends out fire. that's her using fire dust that's in the cloth #but as far as i know this is a detail that literally never comes up again like we never see anyone else with clothing like this #so i asked myself. what if that was her semblance instead. that she had the ability to sew dust into cloth #how hard would it be for the girl modelled after cinderella to know that her semblance required her to do domestic labor to be used #thus explaining why it doesn't show up in later volumes because once she gets the maiden powers she thinks she doesn't need it #idk i think making her semblance be 'she can heat stuff up' and thus making her semblance indistinguishable from maiden powers #for the entirety of the series. is a bit of a waste. bc semblances say a lot about characters right #i know there's a point to be made about like. it manifested as that at that time because cinder has always been angry etc etc #but wouldn't it hurt from a different narrative angle. to have her semblance be dustweaving. when she doesn't have any money #no money to buy dust with but a semblance that makes her a skilled and incredibly rare craftsperson but can she bear to sell her skills #when they've been used against her for so long? when all she's known is hard work and grit and sweat? when it's probably dangerous? #anyway i think im about to hit the limit for tags but. lmfao. the possibilities!!! also the association between handsewing and the HOME! #something she's always wanted but never had. a safe place to sit by a fire that she doesn't have to tend and do her work... #also like the possible tension with mercury bc she's wishing her semblance was more offensive + merc's like BE GRATEFUL YOU HAVE ONE??? #i headcanon that mercury has a semblance though. that he has silver eyes and his dad took those from him by making him hate the world #...anyway #goodnight

i love my mum and i love my cat but he's clearly not gonna get better which we knew would be the case it was only a matter of (very little) time but my mum keeps trying to buy him new different food to get him to eat and again i love them but this is breaking my heart
