#let there be a language barrier

[htub]

I really like that they made Jor-El speak Kryptonian and Clark unable to understand him. The whole "aliens speak English" thing that happens in every goddamn media has bothered me all my life. Ik sometimes Clark just gets zapped in the brain for insta-second language but that always felt like a cheap shortcut.

Jor-El had a lot on his mind when he set up that magic spaceship okay. The world was ending and he was trying to do as much as he could before time ran out so he could be there for his son. He was rushing. He likely didn't consider Kal would be raised with a whole different language and not know any Kryptonian nor have anyone to teach him.

#my adventures with superman #two talks #he still might get zapped with kryptonian but at least it wasn't immediate #let there be a language barrier #it hits home so hard too bc i barely speak my mom's language and can't really talk to my family members bc of iz #it* #that's what being raised on a different planet IS! It's isolating and sad bc that's your FAMILY and you can't even understand them #fucking love superman #clark is so close and yet so far bc everything he craves to know about himself is Right There #but he doesn't speak the language of his own people and has no way to learn #it's heartbreaking and i'm so fucking here for it

need the same energy people have for klavier speaking german w apollo spilling into khura'in phrases. esp since hes so closed off and never mentions his past. the first time it happens klavs shocked like you know khura'inese? and apollos like yeah its my first language i guess (trying to be evasive) i feel like he'd also get slightly homesick or nostalgic sometimes and put on channels from khura'in to doze off to just to hear something familiar. n klavier is ecstatic to be privy to this side of apollo that he knows very few people have seen.

#siu talks #klapollo #klavier gavin #apollo justice #bilingual 4 bilingual #brought to you by a fellow bilingual mixed person #this shit is very important to me can you tell #language barriers are always fun ok.... esp when apollo is from somewhere as rich w culture as khura'in and he just never lets it show

#I'm obsessed with this aspect of his character #he's grown so much #10 years ago he'd probably just find the language barrier annoying #he's the only one outside of Connie's original group to put in this much effort to communicate with her #everybody learned a little bit but my g Daryl's near fluent #please let him learn some french in DD season 2 because you know he absolutely would #and please let him completely butcher the accent #twd #the walking dead #daryl dixon #connie twd

Aypierre just said his mods will ban any idiots in the chat being stupid about the QSMP situation, lmaooo. Absolutely based, get their asses.

#i talk #qsmp talk #I'll be honest. I do not understand the ''Boycott QSMP'' thing #like. if Quackity wasn't doing anything to resolve stuff I'd get it #but. he IS doing stuff #the ccs confirmed he's doing stuff #it feels very much like a: #''Hey we saw you did something wrong and instead of letting you remedy the situation we're going to punish you forever for this.'' #''There is no absolution for your sin'' #it's frickin weird dude #like don't get me wrong -- I was a freelancer for like... 5 - 7 years? #And I've seen my fair share of awful bosses and terrible power structures + people in power taking advantage of workers #but this just isn't comparable because like I said: Quackity is actually DOING things. He fired the idiots who did stupid stuff #and they're working on doing things for the admins + Egg admins #which once again: was confirmed by the CCs #idk man I just see the whole thing and I'm like ''???'' about it #I think it's just a matter of misinformation + strong emotions + language barriers #plus a side of what I said earlier- ''you made a mistake once which means I get to be an ass to you even if you're trying to fix things'' #and in this specific situation that just seems so stupid #advocating for workers rights while getting mad about the owner of the project working on workers rights. #idk man it's mostly Twitter people being stupid but I genuinely almost want to sit down with folks and talk things out #which I will not do because I value my sanity. but I do think a lot of things can be solved with communication #I; however; simply do not have the energy for that #anyhoo that's my two cents and will probably be the last I say on this matter #goodnight y'all I'm EXHAUSTED #For the record even though Q didn't know about what was going on it does suck that it happened #but we can't change the past #not every mistake is fixable or forgivable but this one can be. in my eyes anyways #We'll see how things resolve in the end but it's going in the right direction and that's enough for me to be content for now

Okay, but if the pairings they're announcing are the same pairs for taking care of the eggs, the idea of having 30yo Willy taking care of an egg alongside 19yo Tubbo just added 10 years to my life

#the age difference is going to be better than the language barrier #please let this be true #qsmp #tubbo #willyrex

Language Barriers!

Personally I don’t think enough people recognize the possibilities behind the chain having to work through language barriers. They’re from different times. Languages evolve over time. (I have read a couple good fics that explore some of the possibilities of the chain having to deal with language differences, but I don’t remember their names, or the authors of them…)

Now of course, many of them might not have too many differences in their languages, or have a way to easily translate. Either because they’re not too far apart in the timeline, or they have their history well documented.

But where, you might be asking, does that leave Wild? The answer is completely unable to understand the chain or be understood by the chain. Wild is, what, canonically more than 10,000 years in the future from the last known hero if I remember correctly? So with all the language changes, and so much history being lost to the calamity and then possibly further with the upheaval, (although that revealed the history of the zonai so maybe not…) how difficult will it be for Wild to be understood by the chain? My guess is very difficult.

So we’ve got all the other Links who, once they’ve been on this adventure together for a little while, have most of their language barriers worked out and can communicate pretty clearly. Then they arrive in a hyrule that’s in ruins and consumed by beautiful nature as far as the eye can see. And it’s so far in the future and so much history was lost that they’ve basically gotta play charades to get beds at a stable.

Now one of the fics I read had the hilarity of this issue eventually resolved by having Wild know really ancient sheikah. I don’t remember the fic or the author but I remember that much about it and it was a really fun solution!

I’m not saying everyone should utilize language barriers between the chain, I’m just saying that there’s a lot of possibilities it opens up if someone chooses to utilize it and I don’t see it very often

#lu chain #lu wild #language barrier #the potential for shenanigans is vast #the potential for angst with this exists too i’m sure #consider the hilarity of some of the links teaching the rest of the chain swears in their eras language #also wild using this adventure as an opportunity to regain all the history their world has lost #legend of zelda #linked universe #they’re my silly little guys #oh and not to mention the difference in sign language between the eras #lets not forget to include that

I don't really want Tommy to join the qsmp He just doesn't have the vibe for it I can't explain it more than that

#idk he feels too young almost lmao #i saw a clip of the that one stream saying he would like to enter the qsmp if quackity lets him #but like. uhhhhh not the vibe #its just not the brand that everyone else has #if anyone else can explain it better then go for it #(that and also the fact that he doesnt really care about the whole language barrier thing and he just wanna play with friends ) #(which like. fair I guess. but its an aspect that the players in there actually care about so) #anyways he probably join the green guy cheap knockoff server so bye bye

I think there's more room in (alt-world) fantasy to incorporate the language barrier aspect. It's fine and all we can wave away (for the most part) characters from different regions/countries just being able to speak the same language no problem. Characters all being polyglots for plot convenience, whatever, I get it. But. Think about how much potential there is here. Characters that have to work together without being able to communicate! Characters that communicate through interpreters! Characters that work as interpreters!!!

#I am well practiced at putting away my linguistic suspension of disbelief #BUT #there's so much underused flavor we could be adding! #I'm pickier abt this with my own wips tbh #starlightverse has three languages at play and Alya growing up bilingual does inform her character and identity #and DaDBaB...there is a lingua franca of sorts that is pretty much spoken universally #but I can get away with that only because of the fact that the entire population bottlenecked severely only 5000 years ago #AND since then we've spent large swaths of time where the entirely of known humanity has been more or less under the rule of one empire #Anyway the Priory of the Orange tree did annoy me for this bc of the one character who was communicating through and interpreter #but then revealed later that they could speak the main character's language the whole time as some sort of power move #''yeah of course I speak every language what like it's hard?'' #girl just let her use an interpreter that was the ONE TIME we weren't waving away language barriers #anyway

Still grateful to own a josuyasu doujin from one of my fav kr jojo artists uhhh

#they don’t have any SM anymore…… I think #all of their jojo art is gone tho……… uhhhh #I used to look forward to whenever they’d post their logs to pixiv #I think I follow them on their #postype account tho… #I’ll never forget their kindness because they responded back to my inquiry so fast and let me purchase their doujin through PayPal instead #of the other methods that I couldn’t understand because of the language Barrier ahhhh #they were like ‘ohh you live so far away :0?! Chicago!?!!’ sjjssjsjs #since I had to give them my address through DM #I miss their art sm omg #I never got to buy their other josuyasu doujin uhhh I wonder if it would be considered rare now #rambling

No offence to samgirls but they’re just missing the air of feral derangement that deangirls, casgirls and jackgirls have

#like step up your game maybe #deangirls let their delusion guide them to a plane of existence unknown to man before now #casgirls are covered in blood screaming words in language long forgotten #jackgirls are clawing at the bars of their cage. their voices long gone from screeches that pierced the sound barrier #spn #castiel #jack kline #dean winchester #bean #supernatural

[badlydrawnarsenelupin]

did you see toho is doing a lupin musical??? furukawa yuta is playing arsène, i genuinely can't imagine a better casting!!!

// Yes, I saw the tweet for it last week!!!

I've literally been saying for years that Arsène Lupin has a huge potential for a musical and now it's real??? Looking at the cast/characters, it seems like they're combining Countess of Cagliostro and The Hollow Needle, which would be strange timeline-wise but... it kind of makes sense if you squint since the Hollow Needle is one of the four mysteries mentioned in Cagliostro.

I wish I can go and see it🥺<- doesn't know Japanese

Here is the tweet and their official website for anyone curious.

#[ checked the website and it seems that they updated w a photo of Lupin since the last time I saw it! ] #[ i'm mixed on the story/cast bc on one hand... isidore my baby boy made it in!!! #on the other... no raymonde.... but we have clarisse and joséphine (ofc) ] #[ honestly tho; all i ask for are banger songs #*rattles on the bars of the language barrier* let me innnnnn ] #arsène lupin #onlines #answered #ooc; en coulisse.

because today seems like a great day to make unwise decisions, I secured my ticket to BC's Berlin show and am about to do so with Leipzig as well, but is it just me or is there no pdf-ticket (€ 0.00) available for Leipzig?! 🤨

#halpppp #still not 100% sure I'll be able to make it to leipzig but if i have the ticket i gotta make it work somehow eh? 😌 #but why would i want to pay for them to send me a physical ticket if i could just print my own for free WHY WON'T THEY LET ME?? 😭 #germans pls explain #(i'm on the english website of eventim btw so it's not about the language barrier lol) #other unwise decisions today include 1) watching the olli/allu parts of aleksi's spooky stream again. yes i have a problem ✌️ #2) daydreaming about a new olli/allu fic idea when i should be marking student assignments and planning lessons 😌 #but i'm also doing laundry so it's not like i'm completely wasting time either

I do think that the text-based nature of the internet and the fact that inacting real change seems impossible causes people to focus too much on language. Like, I don't think we should change the names of women's health clinics to vaginal health clinics or something. The thought makes me feel gross (and I feel dysphoric when I have to read 100 "womens health" blogs so I get it! but).

It's more important that gyno offices especially are educated on and respectful of trans men. It's less about what words are on the door and more about a trans man's ability to make an appointment in his own name and not get misgendered or accosted at the door. And then treated respectfully by the doctors/nurses/receptionists.

#like i hate reading about womens health but i also hate thinking about having a vagina. so. its not like theres one word or term that will #make everyone comfortable. #idk. like language is important but let's focus on the material conditions! #and theres a lot of material barriers to trans people in healthcare! #shut up clark
