#i will tag author names

[dunderbread]

this has probably been done before but idc im curious

(using "people who chose their own name" instead of mentioning trans people specifically because not all trans people change their name and not everyone who changes their name identifies as trans)

(if you have multiple names, pick an option based on whichever one you like)

#polls #tumblr polls #chatterboxing #edit: fascinating seeing people tell the stories behind their names in the tags #for those wondering I got mine from an author (Vonnegut. of the famous Kurts I picked one more obscure I guess)

It’s always funny when anglo writers looking to express a specific idea casually pluck a cool ready-made monosyllabic phrase from their language’s unlimited supply and Romance language translators just curl up in the fœtal position and cry. I'm reading a text in which the American author talks about ‘Haves’ vs ‘Have-Nots’ vs ‘Have-Mosts’ —the poor French translator translated this as ‘ceux-qui-ont’ (the French language: don’t worry I’m just getting warmed up), ‘ceux-qui-n’ont-pas’ (nice we’ve doubled the syllable count but we mustn’t falter), and the beautiful ‘ceux-qui-ont-plus-que-tous-les-autres’ (300% expansion ratio let’s gooo! we did it great work everybody.) From 2 to 8 syllables—the minute I saw that bulky thing I knew it had to be Have-Mosts in the original and I was giggling. The anglo author happily proceeds to use the phrase ‘Have-Mosts’ 5 times per paragraph because why not! it’s so quick and wieldy :) we don’t actually need the word wieldy 'cause it’s just the normal state of our language <3 meanwhile you can feel the French translator’s desperation grow as she is reduced to juggling with “those” and “the latter” to avoid summoning her creature. Eventually she reaches the acceptance stage and uses ceux-qui-ont-plus-que-tous-les-autres again like, it’s my monster. I shouldn’t reject it

#language tag #and when anglo authors use a somewhat long and clunky phrase french translators are like no that's our thing? #they're trying to steal our thing. we have no choice but to make the phrase even longer and clunkier. perfidious albion mustn't win this #like how He Who Must Not Be Named went from 6 to 12 syllables in the french HP translation (RIP voice actors who had to dub it) #even though there were shorter options? but i suspect the translator picked the 12 syllable one due to #our national obsession with alexandrine metre

House M.D. but it's when House says Wilson's name

#house md #gregory house #prince's talk tag #after almost two weeks of going through the transcripts of every episode I finally finish this and the Wilson version #first off thank you to the clinic-duty team on livejournal for making the transcripts for these episodes #because this video would be near impossible to make without their clear transcripts. I hope y'all are doing well #ive been reading a lot of fics with these two and i see how the authors have the characters refer to each other in their fics #and that got me wondering how much do they say each other's name in the show and how do they refer to each other #since this is the house video ill put his stats here #s1 was 19 times s2 was 31 s3 was 34 s4 was 30 s5 was 35 s6 was 58 s7 was 25 and s8 was 28 #in total he says his name 260 times. Mostly refers to him just by Wilson #He's only said Wilson's first name 7 times. Once by Jim 3 by Jimmy and 3 by James #He'll use his full name in professional settings or to be sarcastic or to pretend to be him #You know since House is the main character and in every episode of the show i thought he'd say his name more than him #but Wilson beats him by 42 times bc s7 and s8 he doesn't say his name as much. it took Wilson getting cancer for him to say it more #than he was before that point

i know joe is a (Legally Distinct From The Muppets™️) felted marionette-and-hand puppet this season but i really like to image him as a sock juppet for the sake of my own personal amusement

when i was a kid i would make one of my dolls these dresses that were socks with holes cut in them for her arms and head, and then i'd use my very limited sewing knowledge to very poorly and loosely embroider designs on them. and i like to imagine that the @ symbol is something akin to that level of embroidery, just like. literally a line of string that is not really held down at all outside of the very ends where it enters and exits the sock. i also feel like with this theoretical design the eyes are buttons that are hanging on by a thread - literally - and made of like. hard plastic. the type you'd find in a spare button tin for if your pants need an emergency button

idk if it translates well but the brown "hair" is the heel of the sock

#joe hills #hermitcraft #hermitcraft joe hills #juppet #fanart #my art #not my *good* art but like. it gets the idea across #my post #i have slightly more sewing knowledge than i did back then and i bet i could make this now #i just need to find socks in the right colors to cut up and reattach the pieces to each other #oh wait i forgot some tags #joehillssays #joehillstsd #there that should cover it #hopefully no horror novel fans stumble across this after accidentally adding an ''s'' to the end of that one author's name

Dazai has the most basic average anime character hair in all of bsd. But how is it so hard to get his hair to look right?!? If one streak is only a bit off he suddenly looks like every other Isekai protagonist, like asumu dazai from hit-isekai “I killed myself and now I’m reborn to suffer through another life”

#I make jokes but isn’t an isekai announced for this year where actual author osamu dazai is isekaied? #bungou stray dogs #bsd #bsd dazai #osamu dazai #dazai osamu #I spelt Dazai’s name wrong on purpose I actually wanted to spell his entire name wrong but idk any Japanese last name that sounds similar #to Dazai so now it isn’t that funny but i don’t care #do people tag canon typical suicide mentions/jokes for Dazai with any tw tags? #ask to tag #tw suicide joke

The funniest thing about the Marquis Machina identity reveal is that it recontextualizes the shoes in her current outfit from "quirky Mochijun design choice" to "Francis Varney is a Japanophile."

Ye olde weeabeau.

#I mean it makes sense. there's definitely a precedent for weird old rich europeans getting obsessed with Japanese aesthetics #even setting aside the fact that this is a joke being made by a japanese author lol #I bet Francis is the reason Veronica comes to the bal masqué dressed Like That #also sorry I've been so inactive friends #I've been deep in the brainworm dimension for something else lmao #it's been so long I nearly combined franny's two names and tagged her as 'francis machina' just now lmao #vnc #vanitas no carte #the case study of vanitas #marquis machina #francis varney #vnc spoilers #vnc 62.5 #marquis machina my beloved #ID in alt text

Piece Me Back Together - Chapter 1

After years of being convinced that the Underground and monster were a dream, Frisk is faced with a reality more twisted that she could ever imagine when the Barrier gets broken and monster race is turned into slaves for humans. However, her dimmed determination gets reignited when she sees an old friend and seeks to do everything she can to help him.

In this new year, I present you a Horrortale/Enslavement Frans fanfic! Like all my writings, it's been sitting in my lap for so long that I got tired of trying to make it better and just dropping what I have now!

I have like 10 more chapters written and will probably drop one every week, so I hope you guys enjoy!

#undertale #sans #frisk #horrortale #undertale au #horrortale sans #horrortale frisk #frans #sans x frisk #frisk x sans #piece me back together #PMBT frans #yeah that's the tag LMAO #i got a new AO3 account but ill post this on my frans account so dont blink at author's name #fransfic

In hilarious news, someone on Twitter mistook me for being pro-censorship for documenting the antics of L/ucia F/ranco after her fans actively tried to ruin my career and run me off social media because they thought I was a small enough target, only to run into my Tumblr following like turning a corner and slamming into a shovel loony toons style.

Meanwhile, here on Tumblr, antis have never stopped telling me to kill myself on a daily basis for supporting and using Ao3 🙃🙃🙃

#please do not rewrite the authors name in any tags #I am censoring it to avoid her fans harassing me again #death mention #suicide baiting #oh twitter #please change #you fucking cesspit

You're allowed to ascend but only if God wants you to, and God can be a bit of an authoritarian bastard

#Thinking about Eve. Incredibly fucked up that she was so harshly punished for being seduced by knowledge but also her defiance gets #credited to a 'man' these days (even though the modern conception of satan is almost certainly not how the authors of the bible intended it #its just such a weird catch 22 #and ya know. her name is Eve. the beginning the genesis and the thing she gets to create is the punishment of mankind. original sin. #like yeah she also birthed the first humans but that's not what she's known for. she's known for being tempted into falling and dragging #Adam with her #lmao insane ramblings to put in the tags of homestuck fanart but also yeah it is that deep sometimes ya know #also!!! the bisexual colors were not intended but also I do hc Ara as bi so it works #aradia megido #hs #homestuck #my art #eyestrain #just in case!!

House M.D. but it's when Wilson says House's name

#house md #james wilson #prince's talk tag #finally!!! it's done! this and the house version took almost two weeks to do #first off thank you to the clinic-duty team on livejournal for making the transcripts for these episodes #because this video would be near impossible to make without their clear transcripts. I hope y'all are doing well #ive been reading a lot of fics with these two and i see how the authors have the characters refer to each other in their fics #and that got me wondering how much do they say each other's name in the show and how do they refer to each other #since this is the wilson video ill put his stats here #s1 was 11 times s2 was 18 s3 was 45 s4 was 32 s5 was 41 s6 was 60 s7 was 47 and s8 was 48 #in total he says his name 302 times. Mostly refers to him just by House #the only time I've heard him say his first name its when he's being professional or when he's really angry (and that one time he proposed) #and even then it's always the full name not just the first name #the only instance I've seen him use just his first name was on that note he put on House's xmas gift that we see in season 5 #and as much as I wanted to put that moment in here he never actually says the contents of the note out loud so i had to leave it out #but what surprised me was he says House's name more than House says his name #especially when the earlier seasons didn't have him say his name as much

These four wormed their way into my head last night and would not leave me until I spat something out so here's some assorted headcanons, a comic that I'm not sure I understand the punchline of myself and the youngest inn-bling(ba dum tss) in ten to fifteen years.

#princess tutu #author #malen #i didnt really stop to think of the tots' names. #i honestly dont know what their parents would name them! #i mean so far we've got an author and we've got a malen. absolutely bonkers combination mama and papa innskeeper what were you on #also i just found it hilarious if they had a ridicilously small age difference for siblings thats it #like not even a full year and he's acting all high and mighty lmaooooooo #i fear i am genuinely being too mean to author this time #i am sure he didnt mean to alienate himself from his family- #-by diving headfirst into researching its dark spooky past- #-to the point of forming his own self-contained cult of a sort. #thats just puberty. teenagers need to be agressively weird its enrichment. how else will they find themselves? #no seriously i am asking #so far i havent seen a different method #anyway #fanart #my art #i think ill tag stuff specifically tied to these four as #the inn-blings #i feel like i had more to say in the tags but i forgor #OH OH OH #i didnt! say anything! ABOUT MALEN #like hwllo this makes her involved in the whole spooky fucking writer drama?? osrt of? #.i mean #its implied that authors father was adopted and theres no direct blood relation #or something of the sort #either way the innblings have no hereditary powers #author is just a big fucking nerd #so like.
