I've seen people remark on how awkward the 1967 scene is and that is so frustrating because, for me, it is one of the most emotionally resonant flashbacks in the entire series. It is so multifaceted and ripe with implication and that assertion is baffling. As though just because this conversation appears to be hard for them, it must mean that there has to be some sense of weirdness or awkwardness between them?

This scene feeds heavily into my theory that 1941 ended in some sort of aborted romantic moment between the two, most likely initiated by Crowley. Aziraphale can barely stand to look at Crowley because the very first moment he looks him in the face, he can't stop himself from giving him this hooded eyes, barely contained look of longing.

The next thing we see is Aziraphale immediately launching into a statement about his fear for Crowley's existence that is as brutally sincere as it is heartrending. His eyes are wide, his voice is heavy with emotion, and it's clear that he is terrified beyond belief to lose Crowley. Even as he acquiesces and gives him the holy water, you can see that he wants to take it back and deny him it all over again.

Then, of course, Crowley asks if he can give him a lift, which is definitely something that they both know is a totally different question than what lies on the surface, given that they're mere feet from the bookshop and at first Crowley frowns so deeply that it's almost cartoonish but a moment after Aziraphale turns him down you get this glimpse of very real sadness:

Aziraphale sees it for what it is and in an attempt to comfort him, without being able to do what currently seems impossible to him, shares a fanciful but resigned fantasy about spending time together unbothered and unrestrained, all to the tune of these tight little, loving smiles:

When he asks again, you can just see Crowley's desperation for Aziraphale not to go. It's hard to say how long they'd been apart, but it's safe to say that for them, that previous interaction likely is very fresh in their minds.

Aziraphale has always been more fearful than Crowley when it comes to their feelings for each other. You could even potentially look at the holy water as a metaphor for their relationship. In his expressions of concern about The Arrangement, Aziraphale has always been remarking on how Crowley could be destroyed, similarly to his words here. So when he's telling him, "You go too fast for me, Crowley," what he's really saying is, "I'm terribly afraid and I'm not ready to take that step if it means that I could lose you." And it's plain to see by the wistful look on his face that it pains him greatly to say it:

The scene so quickly cuts to Crowley looking intensely at the holy water after Aziraphale has left the car (as if trying to convince you that that was the real point of the scene) that it's easy to miss this devastated expression on Crowley's face:

There's no look of perceived rejection on his face. Just a somber look of resignation. There are so many barriers in front of them, and I think that Crowley was willing to risk it but understood that Aziraphale wasn't ready to.

This is the most honest and laid bare we ever see these two be when it comes to their emotions. There's so much being said without being said and even their actual words (i.e. Crowley remembering exactly the amount of time when the 'fraternizing' conversation happened) are so full of emotion that it might even be a bit hard for some people to watch.

It's not awkward. It's just that the scene is just so incredibly earnest and heavy with coded language that it's easy to be swept up by the fact that the two aren't engaged in their typical banter and bickering. What we truly have here is an incredibly difficult and loving conversation between two people who are stuck in a seemingly impossible situation.

Hot take: it's fucking idiotic to call someone who is just calmly trying to explain their actions or emotions 'rude'. It's ESPECIALLY idiotic to say that to a small child. You'll end up turning them into a fucking doormat unable to speak up for themselves (me)

Kids can't properly control tone yet. I ESPECIALLY couldn't due to autism. So to hold a kids tone to the importance of the tone of an actor on set to get the correct feel is completely idiotic. And some teen girls literally *just sound like that*. They aren't "being rude" that's just what her voice sounds like. They aren't "making excuses" they are genuinely trying to fucking communicate their reasons so that an understanding can be reached. This shit is why EVERYONE SUCKS AT COMMUNICATING AND WE NEED TO FUCKING STOP DISCOURAGING HONEST AND OPEN COMMUNICATION

Most kids are innately honest until they are taught to lie by society or their parents. By making them FEAR honesty. By punishing them for communicating you are teaching them to lie. You are making lieing feel like the safest option even when you punish for lies. Because at least with the lie there's a chance of no punishment, but with the truth you'll 100% get punished.

Let's not forget that English was and remains an imperial language, and that a lot of where this particular energy comes from is rooted in colonial ideologies about 'proper grammar' and evidently so -policing Black people's verbatim, vernacular (AAVE), and inflections (because it is obvious what this teacher is doing in many of these cases) is racist. I find it BEYOND irrepressible when so-called western/European scholars/professors do this without reflecting about how bigoted they are.

This professor calling the words/statements on this list as 'gibberish,' and 'inappropriate' IS degrading and demonizing. And going so far as to say by using anything on this list in your speech you're somehow inferior as academics and as writers... the AUDACITY.

There is a HUGE difference between formal and informal writing -whether it be for a essay, or even an email versus tone policing people in their everyday speech in ways that reinforce racist prejudices about the language people are using. Because this isn't about a student starting their papers with "You ate that up!" without context, it's about what this teacher/Professor is HEARING in their classrooms whether through discussion or before or after classes... I just... a part from letting students express themselves -saying everyone has to speak like they're writing an academic paper is ridiculous nonsense.

Also the fact that she said it's "improper English" when all languages are made up of words -and the English language is just that -MADE UP OF WORDS -and based from a lot from cultures all around the world. Clearly she needs to do her own damn research.

In any case, seeing this boils my blood. Because I have SO much love for teachers who go over and above their roles, versus the slimy racist scum that end up in academic settings like this because people like her shouldn't be teaching.

i recently (like 2-3 months ago) started trying to learn mandarin and i dont think ill ever be able to speak it... the tones seem too out of my reach

the characters are soooo fun to learn though i love looking at each ones history and the different versions that exist i didnt expect to like it so much

2-3 months seems a little premature to come to that conclusion! If you are self-studying, that may be where some of the hardship is. There are only 4 basic tones in Chinese and they basically go how they look:

ā (a flat tone, like when you stick your tongue out at the doctor's office; "aah")

á (rising tone: "ah?")

ǎ (this one is the hardest to describe but you basically bring the sound down heavy into your chest and then ease off gently, and do it faster. It's a bit more like "ah⤷⤻" rather than "AH! ↘︎ Ah? ↗︎" but going heavy on "ah! ah?" at first will probably be fine)

à (descending tone. "ah.")

The real thing to work on is pronouncing Chinese vowels and consonants because that's where problems of intelligibility arise. I would recommend just repeating these syllables a couple times when you're studying so you can become familiar with it, as a lot of them are not really used in English, and this is really where you'll get tripped up in spoken mandarin. Read aloud as you study! It might be difficult at first, but you'll get there eventually.

加油!

#text #answered ask #language ask #tones vary among 方言 (topolect/regional dialects) so it's not always AS important to hit them 100% every time.#at worst you might say something funny but ppl can usually tell what you're trying to say tbh #usually when you're watching a western movie & they say some trash 'mandarin' the problem is that they didn't pronounce the letters right

i could overanalyze this interaction until people beg and cry for me to shut the fuck up

Hoffman you annoying and off-putting individual i am enamored with you

#another scene that i use as like main hoffman dialogue and behavior inspo #saw #mark hoffman #saw vi #the wheels turning as he realizes he can offload pamela onto jill but it ends up biting him in the ass in like. the biggest way #among like 20 other things i can say here about his sarcasm and eyerolling (u can see it... mentally happening..)#all while saying it in his fakey sweet nice guy tone where hes just constantly lying through his teeth to everyone #“maybe i did maybe i DIDNT 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤨”#and the like subtle slightly flirtatious body language that doubles as power play. this kind of character was made for me #also his body language in general is pretty funny like i am totally analyzing it as an animator too. the way he turns on his heel #it WOULD be fun to animate but alas. i dont feel like it

(gosh I hope that comic is at least readable- Ignore all the inconsistencies, I've never drawn and colored a comic before 😭) Anyways- meet the heroes of yore! sort of... you get to know what they look like at least!

Im finally getting around to publicly sharing some tidbits of lore with yall! Originally the "heroes of yore" spiel Galacta reads was going to be just text but I thought people would probably like it a little better if there was a comic to accompany it!

and im. not sure how to end this post?? I suppose I can say that Meta and Galacta Knight are open for asks!!! Im hoping I can keep the energy to keep this thing going, but only time will tell!

#Figuring out how to make pretty looking comics is going to be one hell of a learning curve for me!!#Im good at putting a character into an environment and rendering it well but when It comes to comics I have to tone down the rendering #otherwise I will spend fifteen zillion years on it and then never actually finish the comic itself #also if it wasnt already GLARINGLY obvious I. cant.. color backgrounds. like. at all #Meta Knight #Galacta Knight #JAU #JAU Meta Knight #JAU Galacta Knight #Kirby oc #Verc3x art #J #GSA J #Edith #Cassius #swallow tailed galacta knight #< I think thats the tag I should use??#also I should PROBABLY clarify that by “Standard” Meta means the universal language #like. becuase different planets have different native languages Standard is the universal language that almost all folks learn as a #secondary language #my ocs

i can't believe the situation got 3000x more dramatic to the Islanders because forever used a Portuguese slang that can mean both "dead" and just "disappeared but I'm being dramatic" and bagi just automatically assumed it meant dead and completely ignored that it wouldn't make sense for him to talk about the enderpearl stasis in the letter if he meant dead WINCIWJCOWD

#qsmp #qsmp bagi #oh portuguese language and lack of tone when written i love you so much

Thoughts on Azure Lion and Sun Wukong's relationship? I know a lot of people think Azure was and still is very gay for Wukong (which, yes, obviously,).

so, obviously this is without the official english version, but i personally think its more meaningful if azure had a lot of admiration but not a thing for swk, you know?

because azure lion actually looks at a lot of people like that

it seems to me like he really cares for people, he gives all his friends the same soft expression that says 'im glad youre here'. he avoids hurting mk and tells the others to back off and not hurt them unnecessarily, he hugs elephant outright when he sees him, these arent soldiers to help him accomplish his goal, these are his friends. and i think that makes his goal and reasons all the more poignant, because he doesnt seem like hes doing it for himself. hes not doing it for swk, hes doing it for everyone, because he cares about them and thinks this is the way to keep them safe.

its what makes him so dangerous. he comes from something like a warped heros perspective, he fully believes hes right, hes there because heaven has proven to him that they cant lead fairly. hes doing this for everyone that was hurt when their safe haven was attacked, and for his friends who were imprisoned for thousands of years replaying their mistakes over and over, he really believes hes right, which is why he wont stop.

#i listened to coles explainatioms of the characters and they kept stressing that he wasnt veing presented as an evil character and i trust #them on tone bc they understand the language fluent #i just think its more meaningful if he doesnt?#im not against it or anything but genuinely the way he acts is like that with a lot of people #mk #lego monkie kid spoilers #monkie kid spoilers #lmk s4 spoilers #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk #azure lion #also we already accidentally made a crackship with him and sandy bc of the mo thing. theyre a therapy train #mo can fix sandy and sandy can fix azure #also. blue. muscles. orange. pink. hugs. need i say more
