#nuance in action

보다 vs 시청하다 vs 관람하다

Just like in any language, there are many words in Korean that in essence mean the same thing but have specific nuances that differentiate them from each other.

So, today I’d like to talk about the difference between 보다, 시청하다, and 관람하다, which all mean "to watch".

시청하다…

means "to watch a television broadcast" (1) and has the nuance that the viewer is watching a recorded video and is not watching something at a public venue or in real time.

Ex. 넷플릭스를 시청하고 나면 스트레스가 풀린다. (I feel relaxed after watching Netflix.)

Ex. 지난번에 A팀 경기 시청했니? (Did you catch team A's game the other day?)

관람하다…

means "to watch/see performances, movies, sports games, or exhibits" (2) and means that someone is viewing something in a public space in real time.

Ex. 사람들이 스포츠 경기를 관람하고 있다. (People are attending a sporting event.)

Ex. 나는 여동생들을 데리고 연극 관람을 갔다. (I took my younger sisters to see a play.)

보다…

has several different meanings in Korean, but it is often used to mean "to watch" (3). Unlike 시청하다 and 관람하다, 보다 can be used to describe watching anything at all since it does not imply where the watching is happening or what is being watched.

Ex. 그 밴드의 공연을 보기 위해 수천 명의 사람들이 많은비싼 돈을 지불했다. (Thousands of people paid good money to watch the band perform.)

Ex. 난 텔레비전 보고 싶지 않아. (I don’t want to watch TV.)

⚠️ 보다 can be used in place of both 시청하다 and 관람하다, but 시청하다 and 관람하다 are not interchangeable.

Nuance in Action:

below you will find the sentence "last weekend, I watched a baseball game" written with each of the verbs above to illustrate how using each verb changes the nuance of the sentence

지난 주말에 야구 경기를 봤어요.

Last weekend, I watched the baseball game.

지난 주말에 야구 경기를 시청했어요.

Last weekend, I watched the baseball game (on TV or some other electronic device).

지난 주말에 야구 경기를 관람했어요.

Last weekend, I watched the baseball game (in person at the stadium).

As a person of colour, Toshiro is so unbelievably relatable once you realize the reasons and emotions behind his actions. He's been microaggressed upon p much all the time down to the name people call him, but he continues to be silent about it because of the cultural pressure he was raised on of having to be polite and kind and not to speak his true thoughts.

I can relate so hard to his jealousy about laios being able to be more open and confident and speak his mind. I can never bring myself to dislike him at all esp during the laios/toshiro fight because both of them are coming from very real relatable places to me. Its a nuanced conflict. Toshiro has a lot of pent up emotions he needed to get out for all the reasons i said before. And laios was rightfully upset about Toshiro not seeing him the same way he sees him and hiding all of this from him. Both of these guys are in the wrong in this situation. It's not a good guy / bad guy thing.

They both are different kinds of autistic people under different circumstances and I can honestly relate to them both on different things.

Also the scene right after dude gives him the bell and gives them a way out if things were to get bad. And with that we see he obviously cares for laios and the rest of the party despite everything.

All in all. Love u Toshiro they could never make me hate u !!

#dungeon meshi #toshiro nakamoto #Also coming as a manga reader toshiros later actions wouldn't make sense if he fully hated laios he still cares for the entire party #Laios included!! #Sorry for the random ramble but seeing ppl hate on toshiro like the situation isn't nuanced got me PISSEDD

for the record even if ganondorf is irredeemably evil and tries to kill everyone i’ll still support him. he’s my boo. my cinnamon apple. my rotten soldier, my sweet cheese, my good time boy. he’s my babygirl, the apple of my eye, the reason i get up in the mornings. my forever galpal.

#totk #botw #legend of zelda #loz #ganondorf #i do THINK... even if he stays the villain (which honestly is probably the most likely lol) that he'll be more nuanced #I HOPE #but like............. #totk is giving heavy princess mononoke vibes #especially with link's arm becoming corrupted after being grabbed by the evil tendrils? #exactly how ashitaka's arm got corrupted #so i can see this ganondorf being like a lady eboshi villain #they both want to rule the world and they both do terrible things #but they care about their people #they have qualities that make others loyal to them despite their amoral actions #wind waker ganondorf said he initially did everything because he was resentful of how his people were dying in the desert #while hyrulians prospered #i want to see more of that #and less of 2 dimensional evil for the sake of being evil

People defending k@taang’s relationship in the live-action are fucking wild. Gordon Cormier (Aang’s actor) lost a baby tooth on set. Dude still has baby teeth, and y’all are convinced this child is ready to be in a serious relationship?!?!

#Zutara #if this doesn’t make you see why a 12 and 14 year old dating is weird #I dont know what to tell you. #y’all want Katara to make out with someone who could lose a baby tooth mid smooch? #anti k@taang #be ffr #natla #avatar the last airbender live action #the amount of k@taangers that have willfully blocked out the nuance of age difference #and what that means in maturity level is insane. #it was weird in the original #it’s weird now. #y'all are just seeing in real time with real people #and for some reason that's still not enough for some people. #avatar the last airbender

[firelxdykatara]

I am more convinced than ever that virtually no one in this fandom can read.

#atla #atla fandom #atla la #the article: explains albert kim's thought processes in detail based on the actual answers he gives #the clickbait: lol these clowns are totally REMOVING all nuance and complexity from the story! #the fans who can't read anything lengthier than a few words in a clickbait tweet: LOL THE LIVE ACTION IS GONNA SUCK SO BAD

#yo.txt #me when i don't like things being interesting or nuanced #im not even implying that the acolyte and the other live action shows are mature or anything. but like. #this is some cinnamon roll too precious too wholesome for this world shit

based on a convo in discord. do you understand. do you understand my vision.

#homestuck #homestuck art #disco elysium #dirk strider #eridan ampora #karkat vantas #feferi peixes #obviously some of the nuance like harry growing up in poverty but the parallels do still exist #harry already imagines himself as a sea monster when he reflects on the past actions of the himself he forgot #and both he and eridan would rather crash and burn all their relationships in order to commit to their *jobs* #detect or die baby #and kim as dirk? ....ok no yeah that one just felt obvious #and eridan would obviously think dirk is the prince who has his shit together. the guy who has it all figured out #anyway. sorry for anyone who thinks this is shit but i had to mash the things i like together.

I LOVE NIMONA SO GD MUCH. WTF ANIMATION GOLDEN ERA. 😭😭😭🙏🏼

It was the perfect movie. It was so good. “I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart or that sometimes I just wanna let ‘em” MADE ME FUCKING SOB ACTUAL TEARS THE HORRIFIC REALIZATION WHEN SHE WAS NEAR TO THE STATUE BECAUSE I THOUGHT I THOUGHT SHE WANTED TO DESTROY THE SYMBOL OF OPPRESSION AND BIGOTRY But of course. Of course, it was worse than that. It was a gigantic painful trek to an end to that would be less painful than what she’d been thru NIMONA U GAVE ME SECONDHAND TRAUMA IM FUCKING CRYING GDI. And it took. And all it took was one single person to see and accept her for who she is and suddenly she was phoenix rising ready to take on the world and rewrite the narrative. Just the one person to make her believe and be believed in return. WTF THIS MOVIE IM GOING TO WATCH IT AGAIN WHEN IM NOT GONNA BE HANGOVER FROM FUCKING EMOTIONS OHGOD

#everything and everyone was so human #the conflicts were so nuanced that there was no clear wrong to the perspective they took #but it was unfair and still destructive #but all it took was that one leap of faith #that action to not destroy but to believe that anything and anyone could be salvable #to see thru the smoke and fire and destruction and not see a rampaging monster #but a person worth saving #ilovethismovie so goddamn much #if this was in theater I would watch it again just like #astv #ballister boldheart #ballister blackheart #ambrosius goldenloin #eugene lee yang #pride month #BEST MOVIE TO END PRIDE MONTH #nimona spoilers #nimona #netflix

I think the tumblr Ace Attorney fandom has a weird stance on Dahlia Hawthorne. Even more so, on her culpability, to the point that some people claim that she was justified in killing Terry Fawles and even Valerie

First of all, we need to consider the main message of the games first and our personal sense of justice second, because Dahlia, as much as any other AA character, operates within the games' own narrative, and has consequences according to it. And Ace Attorney makes it quite clear that any human life is valuable and no one has a right to take it (illegally). This message was accentuated in TGAA mostly, but even in the trilogy we have Edgeworth who says "everyone deserves a fair trial"

And (I think I need to say before someone throws tomatoes at me) I'm not here to defend Terry Fawles and say that he didn't do anything wrong. He pretty much did, and the fact that he started to date his young pupil is pretty horrible and brow-raising, even if it's unclear who initiated it. It's also possible that Valerie was a neglectful sister, and that Dahlia's whole family was abusive and insufferable to her. The most important thing to understand here is that even if Terry and Valerie were all-round terrible people, killing Valerie and manipulating Fawles made Dahlia a criminal. Objectively.

The second point I see people miss is how disastrous was the collateral damage Dahlia caused in her attempts to cover herself. Poisoning Diego. Killing Doug. Attempting to kill Phoenix. Attempting to kill Maya. And the question is: in what way did any of these people do Dahlia injustice? What is their fault?

They didn't have any. By the time of T&T timeline she was pretty much a person poisoned by her hatred and fear. The main tragedy of her character is that she spiraled down from a mistreated schoolgirl who wanted to run away to a malicious woman who would stoop to crime whenever she needs to. I think this is a solid example of an anti-arc, in which Dahlia's fate was indeed shaped by her unfortunate circumstances in many ways, but! She still had agency in her actions, and having agency means having responsibility

To clarify: I don't hate hate Dahlia, even though my disagreement with the fandom lies in the amount of her hateability. I think she's fascinating and is a good foil to Mia. She pretty much IS a tragic character, and we actually have a good insight into her via Iris' recollections before the final trial segment - the person who probably understood Dahlia the most. Realizing that Dahlia was yet another victim of Fey family drama, much like our Maya (even if in other ways) adds some sympathy points to her. But I have a firm opinion that she wasn't exactly redeemable at the end of her criminal path

So, do I think Dahlia's character goes beyond the crazy-psycho femme fatale? Yes, even if the game wasn't really forthcoming about her childhood misfortunes as much as we would want to. Do I think Dahlia deserved condemnation in the end of BTTT? Yes, and I personally didn't expect Phoenix or Mia to pat her head after being responsible for the deaths of 4 people and (the other important part that adds to her hateability) feeling absolutely no remorse towards people that had nothing to do with her tragedy. Having complexity doesn't necessarily mean Dahlia is secretly better as a person, and understanding why a character became the way they are doesn't mean we should sympathize with or forgive them

#ace attorney #aa3 #dahlia hawthorne #meta #ace attorney critical #sorry if it came out preachy #i didn't wanna #and probably i just overreacted #but i think there is much nuance to dahlia even without justifying her actions #i do feel bad for her #but i feel more bad for Maya and Iris sorry

I think the thing with Sokka’s early sexism being removed is less about his character arc (tho that’s important from a character standpoint), and more about the audience seeing that character arc.

Of course Sokka says iffy and sexist things, he’s acting like an entitled teenage boy. Many entitled teenage boys exist. I’m sure many of them watched Avatar growing up. The point is that these boys see Sokka doing what they do, and that they see Sokka is wrong to do so.

The purpose of an arc like Sokka’s isn’t to create a character who is sexist and who the audience shouldn’t like, who says iffy things and needs to be censored now that we’re in a more “civilized” age, it’s to be a teaching tool to the young target audience of the show. To show little boys that acting like this is wrong, and that girls can be just as strong as boys (this is where the Kyoshi warriors come in). Sokka is a great character because he goes through a genuinely hopeful sort of growth; his arc is something we hope teenage boys with his attitude go through in their own lives.

Taking away this arc deprives the story of one of its core ideals: teaching children what’s good and what’s bad. If they never see Sokka behaving badly, if they never see him being proven wrong, if they never see their hero who acts like them growing and changing for the better, you deprive them of a phenomenal role model who they might genuinely be inclined to base their behavior off of.

Shows like Avatar were so great because they showed growth. Sokka learns to overcome his biases, Zuko learns to overcome his pride and comes to understand what honor truly is, Katara learns to channel her temper into drive and not let anger overtake her, and Aang learns to uphold his principles even in the face of more convenient—if morally questionable—methods.

I think nowadays people (Hollywood) tend to forget that shows for children are often meant to be teaching tools, and not just entertainment. They forget that people—even kids—are flawed and so characters must be too if the audience is to learn anything from watching them on screen. It’s not enough to take an animated show and make it pretty and expensive, you have to translate the substance of the show, too. Otherwise you lose any purpose or power it might have had.

#it took me a minute to figure out my thoughts on this #but this is what I landed on #I think people forget the audience of these shows should be CHILDREN #not adults with Controversial Opinions #anyway #Netflix is bad #they ruin things #also now I understand why the original creators left #it’s clear Netflix doesn’t understand nuance or emotional substance #they just see dollar signs #avatar the last airbender #atla #sokka #atla sokka #live action atla #live action avatar the last airbender #live action avatar

when toshiro got on laios ass for being inconsiderate and never thinking about how his actions affect others like he was mean abt it but hes not wrong. Thats a pretty major character flaw and a pattern of behavior for laios — w not choosing jobs that made money for namari who is in a pretty dire financial situation where she cant even get off the island and has to go adventuring in the dungeon to get out of debt, who even explicitly brought this up, eating marcilles familiar immediately even tho she was attached to it, kidnapping shuro into his party and putting him in life threatening situations without like really checking he wanted to be there…?, wanting to see if izutsumi has more than one set of nipples when dehumanization is a HUGE huge issue for her the list goes on and on and on. Like when a friend does this to you its just kinda annoying but when ur the leader u really should be checking if everyones needs r met without them telling u. Like the autism plays a factor for sure, his cultural upbringing plays a factor for sure, but as ppl regardless I think u gotta step up to meet the needs of ppl in the moment or realize u shouldnt be calling the shots. just bc its influenced by factors out of ur control does not make it not a serious character flaw. And its written as such in the story.

#It makes him an interesting character w nuance and i like him for it #its a pretty big flaw dungeon meshi hits over ur head several times #And part of his character arc to grow as a leader who can communicate and take other ppls needs into consideration effectively so he can #be an effective king (an ending im still like kinda confused abt like i get its thematically full circle moment and a love #letter to the genre but like WHAT) #Granted ppl in glass houses shouldnt throw stones since shuros also a poor leader (worse than laios) #to the point that i think its a stretch to say it wasnt maizuru leading that party like “shuros party” i mean he sure was in their proximit #but his opinion does actually matter to laios and gets him to listen so ig it had to be said 😔 #dungeon meshi spoilers #Laios touden #But like it was not the first time this was brought up to him… cmon man #Toshiro is a sheltered rich kid with no conflict resolution skills who at least was kept materially comfortable his entire life #tho on the other fronts… genuinely he wouldve been happier if he wasnt born into that family #and when hes angry his actions become vicious and targeted to a shocking degree #but his assessment of situations tend to be accurate to a degree thats surprising for a person from another culture thats only been there #For 2 yrs #toshiro nakamoto #in da tags i suppose #Shuro

if you are trying to whiteknight mystra, maybe, just maybe, don't blame the child she groomed or try to argue that grooming actually exists on a spectrum

or say that gale already had a bit of an ego before he was found by elminster and chosen by mystra, i just

like idk what to tell you, but... he was around eight years old when that happened...... that'd translate to second/third grade,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and that might have to do something with the consequent actions he took over the years and growing up into an actual adult.............

just a thought..........................................................

#who do you think whispered in his ear that he was destined for greatness #no child thinks like that not a one #also idk how often it needs to be said: #but gale didn't know the book he opened contained a part of the karsite weave until act iii in the actual game #anyhow i'm tired of ppl trying to be like NUANCE and then they try their damnest to handwave that gale was groomed #and that that grooming influenced his actions #and no #mystra not shouting at him or making him kiss her feet or whatever in act iii #doesn't mean she's to be commended or that what gale went through is 'lesser' ughughguhghuuuuu #some ppl apparently only recognise abuse if it's loud and visible #ch: gale dekarios #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #text: personal #grooming cw #abuse cw #fandom critical #tbd

i honestly have NO issue believing Hamas r*ped Jewish/Israeli women on Oct/7 in the same way i have no issue beliving the IDF also r*pes Palestinian women. you know why? because it's a *war* (mainly fought by male soldiers) and unfortunately, sexual violence has, for centuries, been used as a weapon of.

no woman deserves to be a victim of sexual violence and it's very sad and infuriating to see feminists and allies completely ignore or mock Israeli survivor's stories.

#israel #palestine #hamas #im very pro palestinian #but im also aware of the nuances of certain actions #which a lot of people seem to have forgotten about

I hate how children's media being adapted into live action is no longer child-friendly. I like the Percy Jackson show, but why are the episodes 40ish minutes long? There's a reason why kids shows usually have 20min episodes, you know? Not to mention it could've helped you to pace the story better and have more episodes, which would keep people subscribed to Disney+ for longer too. Why is the live action ATLA "darker" than the show? It was originally meant for kids and it was perfectly mature and deep enough.

Bring back child-friendly media, especially if you're making something ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR CHILDREN.
