watched fight club in hungarian for the first time and jesus some of these translations are truly something

here’s a list of the absolute highlights cuz they’re too good to not share

‘clever-boy’ was ‘jópofa’ which is a really silly way to say that someone’s a funny guy

the narrator referred to tyler and him as an ‘álomházaspár’ which literally means ‘dream married couple’ and aahh what a choice !!!

in hungarian we have a formal ‘you’ as a more respectful way to address people and that’s how tyler and the narrator started out talking to each other and the switch to the informal ‘you’ was so cute

for some reason they changed ‘jack’ to ‘daddy’ ???? ‘i am daddy’s enflamed sense of rejection’

‘broken heart’ was translated to ‘lonely heart’ :(( ‘i am daddy’s lonely heart’ :((((

‘psycho-boy’ was changed to ‘terminator’ lmaooo

when the narrator says ‘i used to be such a nice guy’ they translated it as ‘i used to be such a good boy’ which is just omggg

also there was so much random cursing in places where there wasn’t any originally lmao this was their way of localizing it ig

#this was such a silly experience #but also #reminded me of why i don’t watch stuff in my mother tongue anymore #gonna read the book in hungarian tho i’m too curious #fight club #soapshipping #fight club 1999 #hungarian #tyler durden #fight club narrator #bradpittschiseledabs

“You broke out of prison, used a stolen cop car to pick up your ex bf so y’all could kill somebody. Say that out loud and you hear it to your ears right”

THAT WAS LITERALLY HIS BECOMING??? HELLO????

one of the most infuriating things i’ve realized about fandom spaces lately to me has been some people’s inability to just trust a story and engage with its premise and what it’s trying to express. “canon sucks i can do it better lol!!!” is one of the most annoying attitudes to me and i do kinda hate how prevalent it’s gotten (in actually good polished media that isn’t to be engaged with like that)

like between people who read things in as bad a faith as possible and ceaselessly criticize things they supposedly like, and people who only care about media for the sake of making cookie cutter self-indulgent fandom content, it feels sometimes like the most controversial thing you can do in a fandom is “actually liking the source material for what it is”

#babbles #like yeah aus n such are fun but sometimes i see things in fandoms that make me like ‘do you even LIKE the source material anymore???’ #‘just make ocs man!!!’ #rewatches of source materials should be mandatory people go too insane when they start forgetting what they’re engaging with #to say nothing of the very specific phenomena of. intentional bad faith readings of media #like people who went too damn hard in ‘be critical of what you consume’ and just look SO. MISERABLE. What About Having Fun! #like as a former dr fan. dr fans. is it great No i outgrew dr. but i think it’s better to accept outgrowing it than being #the most miserable ‘fan’ ever like UUUGHH THIS SUCKS WHY DO I LIKE IT ITS SO BAAADDD UUGGHHH #and criticizing it 24/7 like i don’t like dr much anymore but there’s a very specific… Type of dr fan #where im like ‘ykno you can just leave if you hate it so bad?’ #no need to self flagellate over it just accept you either like something kinda mediocre or just move on nobody’s keepin ya here

I cannot shake my thoughts about this and I’ll know I’ll keep this drama close to my heart. The fact that Myung ha’s ‘sunbae’ opened the riff to the world with the question “would you change it for me?” Also the fact that Myung ha’s alternate universe/game world started with the sound of an ocean tells already a lot about it but we won’t know until Episode 8 why. Throughout the series we watched Myung ha doing everything in his power to make Yeo woon happy while he himself couldn’t rely, couldn’t trust, couldn’t open himself up to him. We know the phrase of his ex gf “you don’t know how to love anyone.” left a deep scar in his soul which he carried with to the alternate universe/game. I try to think the system errors which occurred during the game was a way to change Myung ha’s mindset to not make the same mistakes and/or go on with his habitual habits he did in his life before he drowned himself. Also the different tasks was it actually for Myung ha to realize that he’s the one who makes Yeo-woon happy (which he didn’t). He retreated himself from Yeo woon because he couldn’t choose between the most important persons in his life as we saw his grandma died in real life which makes me think if he also knew that because in one sequence in the game/au it asked him if he wants to bring back some memories of Myung ha’s life. Also the last I love you from Yeo woon was the cherry on top to let the system completely crash where he distanced himself from Yeo woon. “I want to spend my remaining time making Yeo woon happy as best as I can. But it seems the more I try, the more unhappy I make Yeo-woon.” Which Myung ha remembers what Yeo-woon said: “whenever I see you, I both feel good and want to cry. I feel so much about every little thing. But I’m not happy at all right now.” Which again I try to think it is about why Myung ha doesn’t rely more on him? Why he doesn’t open himself up to him? A relationship is based off of trust, give and take… etc. but Myung ha goes into this relationship with deep rooted traumas which causes lack of self love. If one loves not itself enough how can they expect to love someone else which what explains Myung ha’s last phrase in the same scene so much. “Why did I think I could make you happy?” It’s as if he doesn’t think that a loner like him could be the one to give him love and happiness. What follows after is that he choses Yeo woon’s happiness even if he’s not his happiness… which again brings me to the beginning where Myung ha thinks “but I prefer lonely supporting characters to happy protagonists.” In this case he’s the lonely supporting character to our happy protagonist Yeo-woon. “But being fated to live that kind of life… is just so unfair.” He knew/knows how cruel life can be so he chose his happiness over everything and got vanished from the game. He realized by now that Yeo-woon is/was more important than he wanted to admit. Yeo-woon is/was a glimpse of happiness in Myung ha’s life. What brings us to the tragic backstory of his life and how he lived. All the obstacles he endured and went through led to his drowning (at this point we saw Yeo-woon’s obstacles in the alternate universe/game at least in my opinion). This is the turning point for Myung ha. “I was hoping if you saw yourself from someone else’s perspective, you would learnt to love yourself. I thought if you learned to love someone, you would be a little happier.” I want to make a reference here to the title itself “Love for Love’s sake” because all the sacrifices he did and cared more for others than himself… but he found happiness. In Yeo-woon. And he chose his own happiness for once. It’s the way he chooses all these things for himself, to open himself up for him, to rely and be cared for. “It would be nice to have someone. Someone who cares by my side. Someone who gives me chances when I fail and feel hopeless. It would be nice to have someone who always gives me love.” Which they found both in each other.

#caddi watches #love for love's sake #I didn’t proofread it and it’s already 3 in the morning and I wrote this while I had cix’ ”I’m here for you” didn’t help either #also the one scene in the hospital where he met his sunbae the background genius. I try to think that this scene could’ve been #a turning point but when the sunbae asked to be with the loved one longer he chose the painless way #he still didn’t got it in my opinion… that’s why the remaining days deducted so fast it’s what I want to think #he was still bitter and rather pessimistic about love ‘people don’t stay together forever’ (I didn’t looked it up this time) #anyway this already got super long so I don’t wanna ramble extra in the tags #if you read this congratulations for reading a novel if not also okay because I wrote it down for me :) #which barely do btw I don’t write my thoughts and opinions anymore #and yes I chose the word ‘which’ a lot #zey rants #zey rambles

i think i don’t really like posts that say “oh yeah when trying a new thing your first attempts will be bad but you have to do it anyway” bc maybe objectively it will be seen that way but it never motivates me to try something new. because i don’t want to make something bad. maybe it should be “you should try something new because when you see the result of your work it will be fulfilling to have created something with your own hands and mind, and once you’ve made the first thing you’ll be able to make even more.” where’s that cj the x video

#this is why i cant read articles about how to make your own webcomic anymore #its all oh be cautious start small write a story you dont care about so you don’t mess up the one you’re passionate about! #like actually just go all in if thats what you’re excited about #speaks

I'm so curious! What do you dislike about the way Spence is usually written/characterized in the fandom?

I had a longer and more detailed post but then I thought it might make the hoes mad so I’m just gonna say this: he’s infantilized WAY too much for my taste

#this isn’t to yuck anyone’s yum btw this is my personal preference like it says in the post #and I mean sometimes I enjoy a good ‘baby of the BAU joke’ #don’t we all #but it goes so far beyond that that it makes me uncomfortable sometimes 😭 #that’s why I don’t really read Spencer content anymore is bc it bothers me so I choose not to do that to myself

[apolloskazoo]

me after taking 25 whole minutes to write out a two-sentence comment under a fic: I dunno maybe it sounds weird and I shouldn’t comment after all….

#“How to sound like a normal human when speaking” #Results inconclusive #fanfic #ao3 comments #will sit there writing out and then deleting all of the things I liked abt the fic until i can’t even remember what I read anymore 😭 #IS THIS NORMAL OR DOES THIS ONLY HAPPEN TO ME HELP #I need to tell them everything I liked but I liked the whole thing and I can’t just copy and paste the fic into the comment section can i #“Wow loved this part” followed by the entire fic in quotation marks #yeah i proofread my own comments obsessively to make sure they don’t sound passive-aggressive hbu #sometimes writing a comment on ao3 is harder than writing an entire story #sometimes #writing in itself is a struggle actually why do it do it #“I love writing” (shaking with rage and incurable sorrow) #anyway this is a joke laugh now

Mecha fandom such a weird experience especially on any site that this isn’t here because on one hand I think about how it’s so interesting we all collectively join together as fans for liking similar series and get into more because of it like even if it sucks some of these series don’t have individual communities outside of the mecha circle we are joined not by one series but MULTIPLE series and they all feel sorta connected because they either have the same author/director making it or it’s a bunch of works clearly influenced off of each other so you can easily find you own little rabbit hole to go down-

But then on the other hand you remember how hostile mechs fans are, have they INSIST you have to get into *blank* show for blab blab blab reasons and see some of these people using the R word in the year 2024 and you just wanna retreat to your hole and never mention anything but getter to a small crowd again.

#meg text #mecha rambles #i use social media outside of discord progressively less so this isn’t really a big issue #but at the same time shit like this is why I can’t scroll certain peoples profiles anymore #im just gonna stay in my corner and get people I trust into shit im into #if only for the fact they’re interested to read my fanfics which also these bigots don’t care to do💀 #also I know it’s mainly just a vocal minority or specifically a crowd of old boomers but it doesn’t make me any less “don’t go near me” #given I’m a newer fan who’s autistic and not cishet so I feel unsafe around these guys to begin with #and know better not to risk talking to them for long

I don’t want to waste away years loving the life of another person, I want to love my own life unconditionally. I want an apartment decorated with stars and moons and I want to be surrounded by books and leaves. I want fall scented candles to be lit on the kitchen counter while I make my morning coffee. I want a cat to be the first face I see every day. I have loved and I have lost and ultimately I would much rather be alone than spend the next several decades being destroyed all over again.

#poetry #self love #I love myself and let’s keep it that way #literally want 2 cats and an army of lizards #i don’t even read anymore why do i want #books #alone with my thoughts #isolation #i don’t want to love ever again i literally have panic attacks at the mere mention of her name

Hi pook 😢 ( sorry if u don’t like the nickname) but I’ve been reading your series and I am reading Into the Fire (chapter 8) and I’m just wondering why you made Sokka give in so easily when people tell him to control himself that’s not Zuko. Because I would imagine that he would be more stubborn and more focused on what he wants instead of being caring. Even though he’s a caring and kind person I feel like being in prison would make him more selfish and less understanding of other people if than makes sense 😭

Like it just aggravates me when I see Katara try to idk really baby him and control him a bit (not mentally) it just kind of annoys me. Because even though Sokka loves his Sister I feel like he shouldn’t listen to her for real.

But that’s just me because that’s my opinion coming from someone behind has anger issues/ gets angry easily 🤷‍♀️

I love love love this series btw!!!!

I added your other ask too so I could respond to both! Hiiii hellooooo I don’t mind nicknames it’s actually nice because then I can keep anons apart haha

as for your comment about sokka I gotta say you’re probably the first person to tell me sokka isn’t angry enough haha. Which is fine because everyone’s allowed to have their own opinions, but my thoughts on LIAB angry sokka is his intelligence is often battling his emotions. I think sokka is smart enough to know he isn’t supposed to be lashing out at people the way he is or clinging to Zuko so tightly to where they both can’t breathe. i also think he is desperate to be back to his “old self” without actually wanting to be his old self. I do think he is fighting his path to healing every step of the way but even with all the time spent in prison he is still SOKKA. He cares for people he loves his family and he knows from watching his parents growing up what a healthy relationship looks like - his codependency to zuko is probably not it. I doubt it will change much, but when people tell him ‘you need to chill’ Sokka is very much like I FUCKING KNOW BUT I HAVE NO CHILL!!! NONE! ZERO CHILL.

but I can’t imagine sokka wanting to hurt anyone who doesn’t deserve it. Or fighting his friends and family to isolate himself anymore than he already is. I have learned that writing a more emotionally triggering fic does stir up emotions in people and causes them to project onto the characters a bit which is fine but everyone processing trauma differently. & sokka is doing it his own way just like zuko is.

Also…. This is a fanfic and I don’t know if people wanna read sokka being a raging asshole for 50k… so some of the realism in healing gets lost to word count because unfortunately I can’t spend years and 1000k helping these boys overcome their trauma so some of it has to be rushed a little for word count / plot purposes haha.

Liiiiiiisten here pooki-anon you come yell at me anytime about liab I’ll be right here to soak up every word! Thanks for the ask I’m glad you’re enjoying the series!!

#I have tried to take my time with the healing arc #Because we spent SO MUCH TIME dismantling the boys #I wanted to give them the change to be somewhat put back together to where they can at least function #I do agree with you anon! #Sokka could be 10000x angrier he could close up and say fuck off to everyone but it’s just another hurdle to climb over #His anger has been a reoccurring theme because I do write liab sokka angry #He has a right to be angry too!! #But I don’t know if people wanna sit and read sokka going in circles with his anger anymore than he already has #I love love love a good healing arc and I’m trying to take my time with the boys but…. #*word count and plot point and me eventually wanting to work on a project that isn’t LIAB haha* #I do think sokkas a mess right now #But damn it I want him and zuko to snuggle and him and Katara to laugh and his dad and him to pal around and toph and Aang to give him shit #And momo to pull his ears and appa lick him and idk all the fun sokka stuff we miss #I can’t do that if sokka won’t be open to healing and being less angry #Which is why I’m allowing him to progress haha #Ugh now we gotta work on zuko!! -> #Zuko: “why I’m fine??” #Boy is NOT FINE but he is damn good at acting fine haha #Thanks for the ask anon #Ill #give you the tag #Pookianon #Liab #ITF #ask
