i’ve seen a lot of posts talking about nimona’s queer messages which is great! but ive not seen as many posts talking analyzing how both ballister and ambrosius were changed to be asian, which is a shame because i genuinely think its one of the most important parts of the film! a huge part of it is a deconstruction of the model minority myth and respectability politics, both of which are big issues in the asian american community. both of them represent each side of the spectrum, with ambrosius expected to be superhuman with very little support and ballister being seen as less than human, no matter how hard he tries- a monster.

ambrosius (who is now east asian, like his voice actor eugene lee yang, who is korean with chinese and japanese ancestry), despite being in a seemingly powerful position as head of the knights and a descendant of gloreth, he isn’t really given the kind of support that this position needs- he’s constantly undermined and belittled by todd, the face of the other knights, and when asked about his emotional state by the director, represses his emotions rather than talk to her about his true feelings. this is very similar to how asian american students in schools aren’t given the support they need academically by teachers and administration, as the model minority myth leads to them being perceived as more intelligent and competent than their fellow students and therefore not needing support. he’s also held to a higher standard than any of the other knights, being immediately placed into a position of power despite just being knighted, again a reflection of the model minority myth, since asian americans are held to higher standards unfairly. despite being technically better off than ballister, he has no support, no friends, no way to seek help for his problems, and, just like ballister, is immediately thrown away the moment the director thinks he’s served his use.

ballister is now pakistani, like his voice actor riz ahmed (no, not like pedro pascal. where did this come from lol), and i’d go as far as to say that he is also, if not explicitly muslim, heavily muslim coded as well. he’s framed as a terrorist by the white, christian institution, and from then on, it doesn’t matter how good he tries to be- everyone else sees him as a monster. he’s also from a lower socioeconomic class than ambrosius and the rest of the knights- while this is initially used to frame him as a success story, after he’s framed, it’s used to cast suspicion on him. almost immediately he’s othered, with posters casting him as a foreign invader sent to destabilize the city, much in the same way that muslim immigrants are seen in real life. even when he tries to be peaceful and good, it’s always twisted so that he’s the monster of the story. while ambrosius is held to too high of a standard, ballister will never be enough for the institution to accept.

which is why both of their arcs culminate in them breaking out of the system, learning to accept what they’d been taught was monstrous, and leaving behind respectability. it’s a genuinely great commentary, and i can definitely see why riz ahmed and eugene lee yang were chosen for this, as they’ve both done activist work for their communities.

i went outside and found some plants in sidewalks cracks and got them out and transplanted them to pots inspired by @headspace-hotel and i was thinking about how my kids are learning to value the earth and i had showed one of them what looks like an oak tree sapling outside the playground and i was like we’ll see if it grows and the other day he pulled me over and was like look! it might grow into a tree and it had grown a little bigger and man i love my daycare kids

I am curious cuz I saw some Cool Posts about iterators.. does anyone else have iterator ocs who either lost or were built without puppets?

One of my friends has one who amputated his puppet to prevent rot metastasizing, and one of my iterators lost its puppet through Violence (the puppet in both scenarios is effectively dead).

Tell me about your guys though if you have any like that :p

#rw #mine #chatters #rain world #iterator oc #rain world iterator #<- going pspsps #ftr i agree a lot with the stuff im talking about except i dont think the like. mortal shortened ‘wandering puppet’ life #is inherently better/more fulfilling even. for some characters it is and for some it wouldnt be #but its not unilateral and it certainly isnt morally/philosophically superior #NOT THAT THAT WAS IMPLIED but idk. thinking my thoughts

Revisiting Lamnim-... Wait...

Redesigning Reflectmon was actually super fun, so I figured I'd give a go at Lamnimon too! The problem is my main issue with their old design was... I made them a shark? Because Discovery Channel was doing Shark Week when I was a teenager conceptualizing this character, and that's it. No other reason.

Now. On it's own, there is nothing wrong with the shark design. I like it a lot! It's cute, and sharks are awesome! The problem is this was supposed to be a pre-evolution to Ranamon. "Rana"... Means "Frog"...

Oops.

So obviously this digimon should have been a tadpole the whole time. I'm actually shocked they didn't use Otamamon for the Vitalbracelet line... However, the problem is the name "Lamnimon" comes directly from the scientific name for mackerel sharks. So unlike Reflectmon, who can keep their name because it still technically fits (Though I think nowadays I would have chosen the new name), Lamnimon doesn't really fit anymore.

Right now I'm calling this "Pollimon" based on an alternate spelling of "Pollywog" which is another name for a tadpole, and also because it's cute for the pirate theme I went with in the old DMFR fan-web-comic. However if I can find something closer to Lamnimon that fits, I'd maybe be swayed...

Anyway other than being a tadpole now, not much changed! Most of the original design was working. The other major changes are

Replaced swim cap with a hair tie (it looked weird with out the shark fin and was always a bit awkward to draw)

Softer, floppier, fin ears to better frame the face.

More... Fishy? Hands and feet.

More wavy hair style.

Some extra markings to streamline the design and add visual interest.

Again, very happy with this! It's fun seeing how my character design abilities have changed over the years.

Rating VILE operatives' codenames in french

(Season 1 edition)

Black sheep = Mouton Noir. Literal translation. It works. Longer and more of a mouthful than Black sheep though. 9/10

Crackle = Crackle, or should I say Craqueul. God does the french accent shine through in those English words, it's embarrassing. Anyway they didn't try very hard but Crackle is nice. Short, sweet, straight to the point. Though it's not a french word, it's close enough to french words and onomatopoeia like crac and craquement to bring to mind electricity with a threatening edge. Deducting a point because it's still not that transparent for french speakers. 9/10

Le Chèvre = La Chèvre. YES YES THEY CORRECTED MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE!!! "Chèvre" is a feminine noun in french, you say "la chèvre" and never "le chèvre", it just doesn't make sense. I am so happy. 100000/10

El Topo = El Topo. You know what they say: if it ain't broke... Also very glad they didn't translate as there are few names in spanish. 10/10

Tigress = Tigresse. Literal translation, which works well bc the two words are very close. The french pronounciation keeps giving me a double take so I'll deduct a point. 9/10

Mime Bomb = le Mime Marteau ("marteau" literally means hammer but it's also a colloquial way of saying "crazy"). Okay I used to think it was fucking stupid but I was just an uncultured swine. It references Marcel Marceau, aka "le Mime Marceau", a french mime and actor. I do prefer Mime Bomb bc it's both funny and gives a subtle air of menace, while to me "marteau" only conveys weirdness, but Mime Marteau is pretty good too. 10/10 for the effort.

Dash Haber = Dash Haber. 0 effort and it's not even a pun in french, for fuck's sake. 2/10

Paperstar = Origamine. There's been an effort, I'll give them that. This is a portemanteau word of "origami" (don't think I need to explain this one) and "gamine" (feminine form of "gamin", french informal word meaning kid). Buuuut... why would Paperstar call herself a kid. Yes, she has a soft singsong voice and does that humming thing, but she doesn't really... make it part of her identity?? She looks young but she doesn't strike me as wanting to be called a kid. 5/10 because i'm still very lukewarm about it.

Cookie Booker = Cathy Compta. Cathy like the name and Compta as the shortened version of "comptabilité", as in "accounting". This is the worst name ever. I love it. It HAS to be the name of a character from an old game or show because they would never have just invented it for the 2019 show. It's cheesy and sounds absolutely terrible and it cracked me up, this is so classic Carmen Sandiego. 9/10

#i didnt talk about the faculty since they didnt translate their names (apart from “countess” becoming “comtesse” - literal translation) #just started season 2. i'll update this post once i finish it #currently making a prayer circle for neal the eel to be named gilles l'anguille or some shit #carmen sandiego 2019 #chatters

"larian prioritizing astarion isn't racist it's a business decision because he's the most popular if wyll was more popular he'd get more scenes" ok 1.) astarion is not the most popular character. shadowheart is. 2.) bg3 is the game of the year they are doing fine in sales 3.) could we maybe consider Why the white man is so popular compared to characters of color 4.) wyll might be more popular if larian put any fucking effort into him 5.) individual fans writing fic and drawing fanart of wyll does not stop the systemic issue of fandoms and game studios being incredibly fucking racist 6.) calling fans of color calling out racism an "irrational racism debate" is you guessed it. Racist.

I just saw someone in Bad’s chat say something along the lines of “Bad shouldn’t make grammar jokes because people are trying to learn the language” in reference to an argument between Bad and the Ghosties about the difference between “your” and “you’re.” I have to disagree with this because Bad’s native language is English. His streams aren’t solely for the purpose of learning English. Yes, Bad is very accommodating when it comes to people who speak other languages but he’s allowed to make jokes about or in his own language/culture. This also makes me think of when Bad called some of the other CCs “uncultured.” In English, you call someone “uncultured” when they don’t know/like something that is your favorite. It doesn’t even have to be something popular. Someone could call you uncultured as a joke for not knowing a super obscure game. My question for the people who criticize Bad for this would be, would you ask this in a CCs chat who doesn’t speak English? Or, hell, would you ask this in another English CCs chat? Or are you just looking for an excuse to hate on Bad? Anyway, end of rant.
