Random hcs I have because I may be cringe but I'm free part 27 (Ninjago)

More platonic oppo (but still mostly Kai centric) because their friendship has infected my brain (strap in, it's a long one)

Ok so this one is kind of a mashup of 3 different headcannons, the Chinese Kai hc, the "oppo are best friends" hc, and the one im gonna talk about here that possessed me to write this in the first place, but hear me out-

(Tbh, this could take place at pretty much any point in the series but I usually imagine it somewhere between seasons 4 and 8)

Just take a second to imagine, Kai peacefully going about his life as his proudly bilingual self, until he realizes: outside of Ignacia, its insanely rare to find someone who speaks Mandarin.

This, in turn, sparks two more revelations: One, that just makes the fact that he was born and raised speaking Mandarin all the more cool, and two, that he would have virtually no chance to use/show off his first language with someone other than Nya or Zane, and he would only ever get to use Ninjargon.

This motivates Kai (desperate to keep his spot as one of the most cultured on the team) to learn THREE more languages, those being French, Italian, and Spanish (as any reasonable person would do)

The only person he ever outright tells is Wu (seeing as he's fluent in like every language ever so he's great to practice with) and he mostly keeps it a secret from the others so that he can keep surprising/impressing them by pulling another random language out of nowhere whenever its needed.

What he didn't expect however, was how Zane would react.

Turns out, being a total bookworm and a literal walking computer means that not only does deciphering other languages come easy to Zane, he also absolutely adores studying languages in all their forms. So, when he heard from his friends that the criminal they were supposed to go question didn't know any Ninjargon and that Kai had managed to hold the rather intense interrogation entirely in French, he was beyond delighted. Once he had finished cleaning up after dinner he practically ran to Kai's room to talk, and of course, he immediately insisted Kai do all his explaining in French for the rest of the night.

From that day on, anytime the two of them wanted to have a private conversation and couldn't just pull the other to the side (or, more commonly, if they just randomly felt like it) they would simply start talking in one of the four languages and fall into easy conversation with the other as if they hadn't just simultaneously stopped making sense to anybody else around them.

TL;DR (and the simple seed from which this essay of a hc was born)

Kai talks shit about people to Zane in different languages

#and not sure if i put this in the og chinese kai and nya post but of course he talks shit with Nya in Mandarin #and nya was lowkey jealous for a bit bc gossiping about people in another language was kinda a 'siblings only' thing for them #until Kai started pulling new languages out of nowhere #but she got over that real quick when she realized she could listen/join in anytime they decided to use Mandarin #and kai eventually starts learning Japanese too #cuz he cant cope with the fact that jay knows a language that he doesn't #and cuz he wants to know what jay and okino are always talking about #and cuz he just genuinely wants to learn but he would never tell anybody that (he's just as huge of a language nerd as Zane) #ninjago #ninjago headcanons #random hcs #ninjago kai #ninjago zane #platonic oppositeshipping #fun fact: this behemoth of a brain child was born because i randomly remembered that part in the Brent Miller interview #when Vincent Tong just randomly dropped little bits of Italian here and there

Having Caleb as the official eng translator is hell because due to all the times he's been outright wrong (eg "you sorry excuse of a brother") (boy) or used the weirdest phrasing possible (eg "remember when Shigaraki made swiss cheese outta me") (boy) oftentimes I look at things and go "these are the same but not the same and I don't know who to trust more"

#unrelated but i have the japanese version of this panel too (just this one though :/) and uraraka uses anata for toga #and i went and listened to their latest confrontation in the anime and she used anata there too #and it stuck out to me because i remember her only ever using names instead of third person pronouns #and like i know the internet doesn't have all the answers but if you're telling me that it's either used for strangers or for your husband #if you're a woman then i'm bound to have Questions #(<- reverse psychology technique to attract someone who speaks japanese to me like a lamp for a moth akdkfjg) #togachako #mytext #animanga #bnha

If I may say, the first thing I noticed about you was your accent, Serena! Your Kalosian has really improved, though.

what’s the first thing your muse noticed about mine? || Accepting

"...Thank you. Although, in my defence... at the very start, the only prior experience I had speaking Kalosian was a few terms in ballet... mostly from others who also did not speak it. I would like to think I did well, given the cards I was dealt. Some sounds in the language just do not exist in Sinnohan..."

"But I am glad that, to others, it sounds like I'm improving. Sometimes it's.... difficult to notice it, when you're focused on all the smaller details and are too aware of what you struggle with. Or you can still hear the difference between yourself and others."

#❀⊱⦃ ⏤ {ic.} ⦄⊰❀ #❀⊱⦃ ⏤ {asks.} ⦄⊰❀ #{the jump from a mix of japanese+russian to french.... rip serena at least she had help from farris sycamore and dexio+sina} #{lysandre too but we do not perceive his help in this house} #{because listen sycamore KNOWS in-game that the protag just moved to kalos + he also studied in sinnoh... i don't think he wouldn't have #helped the protag in learning kalosian and adjusting to life there}

I just want to know whose absolutely baffling idea it was to have Trucy refer to Phoenix as "Daddy" when the word "Papa" is LITERALLY spelled out across his damn head in bright pink letters for the entire game

#she already called him ''Papa'' in the original Japanese script so..???? why the hell did they bother changing that #anyway lmfao obviously this is not exactly a hot take. I was just thinking about it today bc like #of course I'm not ACTUALLY upset about it but it still just occasionally makes me go ''why?? WHY would they do it that way??'' #... and listen we all know the one problem it DOES cause is making nrmt family fics just the tiniest bit clumsy re: what Trucy calls Miles #like. the no-brainer choice for ''other dad'' in English is ''Papa'' but. you KNOW Phoenix still has that beanie somewhere lmao #anyway uh yeah I've been having a lot of Trucy thoughts this week for some reason. I'm love her. babey. byaby gorl..... #Ace Attorney

Not Cannon and Not Fannon, a secret third thing called I desperately misunderstood/misinterpreted this charcter as a child and now everyone else's charcterization is wrong because it doesn't fit my specific decade old hallucinations.

#this is mostly a DC post #yall dont understand the misunderstandings i have of some of these freaks #i was a babe in the woods the story was for me to figure out! #my best misunderstandings in order have to be #1 After seeing Teen Titans Tokyo i fully believed Robin/Dick Grayson was japanese and thats why he was able to like blend in #so imagine my suprise when I start hearing this POC man is white in cannon SHOOK #in that bar scene #u know what im saying #again i was like...6 #2 thought harley quinn was girl joker #still think thats a pretty banger idea ngl #cuz like listen you intro batwoman u think oh girl batman #cuz ur a lil girl and this is how media works for u #so u see harley quinn and u think oh girl joker #imagine my suprise like 10 yrs later #3 i thought star fire was a bad guy before she came to earth #like fully thought her planet was like war mongers and conquerors and that she got banished and came to earth and learned to be nice #dont know why i thought that gonna be honest #think i missed some very important dialogue probs #anyway still kind of a banger idea #DC #dick grayson #nightwing #robin #harley quinn #dc joker #starfire #koriand'r #batman

1bitJanuary Day 11- Favorite Side Character My favorite girlfail.

#She absolutely practices poses in the mirror #1bitheart #1bh #Sagara Sakuse #Tried to gauge the likelihood of a japanese teen in 2222 being into some ancient american band and landed on Not Very Likely #So either 1. Sagara is just into stuff from 200 years ago that the general mainstream doesn't care about anymore #or 2. She doesn't know what it is. She saw the design online offhandedly and thought it looked Cool and Edgyl #Leaning toward the first because that's kind of how I perceive her taste in anime anyways #She definitely likes that genre of alt music/bands in general #Though I think a lot of the ones she listens to are fairly recent #I just didn't feel like coming up with one on the spot #Like it can be both though. old and new she has multitudes #Her interest in old anime and like indie pop punk morphed into her getting into old alt bands and MCR was one of the overseas acts that #got caught in the mix. #Also she thinks the logo is cool. She got it printed at a cheap tshirt print shop. #She has other band tees but she primarily uses them for pajamas #Cakeart

Hm. When thinking about milgram too late gives you silly dreams

Anyway just woke up from a dream where they released the new door art but instead of Mikoto the next prisoner to sing was, of course, my nana 👍 And her trial song was straight up Kikuo's The Good Child and the Fox Spirit

Dream analysts out there, does this mean she's about to murder somebody 👵🔪

#my nana knows no Japanese btw ive just been listening to that song a lot asfgbn #her color was a dark blue and by her goofy pose i guess she was voted innocent the first trial?? thanks everyone 😤👍 #im dying rn asfggbh #the elusive prisoner 011 #rose rambles

just saw someone call hunter a cishet man im killing

[bmpmp3]

hold on. hold on im shifting into vocaloid mode. hold on

#sorry spent too long listening to music sung by japanese singer Lia #and one Lia led to an IA and i started thinking too much about like #Lia and Miriam Stockley being like the singers of my childhood (Tori no Uta and Perfect Day respectively) #and how they both were voice providers for a vocaloid at one point #and then about how their vocaloids sound so different from the singers #(miriams being honestly largely because of the limitations of vocaloid 1. i think if they made an updated bank with like a falsetto version) #(because miriam stockleys voice is interesting with those HIGH high notes but also these really rich midtones) #(i think she might be able to get more qualities from her voice provider) #(in IA's case its largely because most people use her higher range LOL you can really hear the resemblence to Lia in her lower ranges) #(although i do like how different she can sound in all the different ranges its neat) #and now im longing. to play with utau again #i havent had a change to use it since i got a new computer (messing with locale changes too much can like) #(mess up my computers OS or bios or something so I wanna be careful lol) #i still gotta see if i can fudge something with a virtual machine but im too lazy to set one up JHFDSJFDs #pray for me....someday i'll do it #you know its funny. ive played with other vsynth programs #(couldnt get deepvocal working) #(synthv is pretty awesome. that voice bank koharu with the automatic intonation stuff is INSANE) #(like when u use her mid and lower range she sounds like straight up a PERSON its nuts) #(and ahem. i have. played with the big boy. the big V. the voc of loid edit her. maybe through means of questionable legality. cough) #but i always wanna go back to utau for some ungodly reason JHFKLDSJFkds #LIKE its clunky and every other program is so much more versatile and smoother to use and everything #but like. utau is so like. solid #like its so tangible in a way i cant describe fjdsklfds #maybe i just like changing voice quality by typing in a bunch of random numbers and letters in the flag section

(( Before I go to sleep, I'm just gonna share this WIP drawing I'm doing of Charmaine. It's actually a full-body piece, but I cropped it because I am being a tease. Didn't even bother doing the lineart, just colored on top of the sketch, which I did clean up quite well though. ))

#she looks so much like a pokemon trainer #i only know how to draw dudes in a semi-realistic style #also was listening to the softest song while drawing and i started crying #i didn't understand the lyrics bc it's in japanese #i just knew the voice singing wanted the best for everyone listening to the song and i just went ;'( #song: shin takarajima - lefty hand cream #mun is more an artist than a writer #charmaine art #mha oc
