#so my opinion is irrelevant

[veliseraptor]

sometimes I think people think "narrative parallels" means "exactly the same" and like...that's not the point, actually, the point with narrative parallels is that they're variations on a theme that are meant to illuminate something about each variation. a narrative parallel that is just a precise reiteration of another thing isn't saying anything. it's just redundant.

#important text posts #actual english major lise #this one really grinds my gears actually #'it can't be parallel because they're not the same' no...no that's not what that means i don't think #lise's aggressively bitchy opinions about irrelevant and unimportant matters #mildly! but i'm still feeling bitchy so it gets the tag

Billie Piper fighting for her life, sitting next to Christopher Eccleston while he says that Russell T Davis, Julie Gardner and Phil Collinson would have to be sacked before he ever has a Doctor Who cameo, like the child of divorce that she is.

#doctor who #NineRose #like his hostility may be justified but why has he gotta do Billie dirty like that like he knows she is on friendly terms with them #and she has shown interest in coming back herself when an interviewer asked her when it was revealed that Tate and Tennant were returning #like Christopher Eccleston always talks fondly of Billie and Rose as a character so why would he put her in an awkward position like that #idk man it’s sad but it was also kind of funny I love drama and Eccleston does not give a fuck lol #I’m not taking sides cause a. I don’t know enough about what went down #b. it was 20 years ago #and c. my opinion on it is obviously irrelevant anyway #Christopher Eccleston #Billie piper #the ninth doctor #rose Tyler #rtd

I just . Repeating "characters are tools" you end up erasing so much about arashi's character and motivations and interactions with other characters if you avoid using her pronouns aka avoid showing she's transgender. It's on the same level of frustration with the translators i had when i saw they had Mika speaking standard English, there's a LOT that gets lost if you don't show those little things.

#and sure maybe some things wouldn't matter bc - i don't read many knights stories so beyond what's mentioned ab arashi in stories i've read #like those featuring mika and such #so i can't say for her but i can say for mika - because a lot of it is touched upon in ! which isn't getting translated #mika talks about his accent and dialect and such the most in ! HOWEVER #you still have idol story 3 where he talks with Tsumugi about how people perceive him because of his accent and #about how he feels like he's letting people down by not conforming to the positive stereotypes associated with his speech #and if you make him speak the standard language you completely lose that layer #if you erase the fact that Arashi is transgender you completely lose that layer of her characterisation and motivations #she literally has a story in !! where she talks about how much it hurts her to always be cast as the male character #in princess-knight themed shoots when all she wants to be is the princess #but how are you gonna get the full context of that if the story refuses to give you the context you had in the original #ie. that Arashi uses the (hyper)feminine ''atashi'' pronoun and that her speech pattern is one associated with young women #in ! she has a line where she asks i believe koga to not use the slur used for effeminate/gay men for her #because her name is arashi narukami and if anything she wants to be called arashi-chan or naruko #which is also additional context lost if you don't translate it right - the -ko suffix in a name is traditionally feminine #i'm no expert either but i'm a writer and i plan on working as a translator #and these are things that - if lost in translation - will impact your understanding of the entire story and/or character #whether it will have you completely misunderstanding it or just being confused is irrelevant but it's like #in my opinion as a translator it's your duty to translate even the subtext #if you need to show that arashi is transgender you don't need to say it (even tho #she did once say ''i will never be the woman i want to be'' iirc and #i do have recollection of mika telling her ''i don't really get it but you're a girl right?'') #but you should give us the same chance to come to the same conclusions which is to say. translate naruko to the best of your abilities. #idfk Nary maybe ? i feel like the -y ending is usually diminutive rather than feminine but. #something to that tune. and give her a girly speech pattern. it exists in english too. #slang can be associated with gender too #like you guys get it right.

not really qualified to ask this but like…why are yall so insistent on putting the star of david emoji next to kyle’s name whenever you’re trying to separate headcanons for him? like i’ll see ‘stan marsh’ with a dog or smth next to it, ‘kenny mccormick’ with the angel wing, ‘eric cartman’ with a chicken emoji and then it’s just ‘kyle broflovski’ with the star of david emoji. like i guess it’s because he’s the only jewish kid but like…there’s more to him than being jewish. you could put the basketball emoji or smth next to it. like whenever it’s the other boys the emoji next to their name correlates with an interest of theirs and kyle’s is just brought down to his religion and isn’t made to correlate with his interests.

does this even make sense? i’m talking about when people pull shit like this

South Park characters reacting to something or other, can’t be bothered to think of smth legit

🍗❤️Eric Cartman ❤️🍗

cartman is a discord moderator but has never done any wrong blah blah blah

🐕💙 Stan Marsh💙🐕

probably smth angsty or stan being a jock blah blah blah

🧡🪽 Kenny MaCormick 🪽🧡

kenny is the equivalent of glenn quagmire blah blah blah

and then there’s just kyle like

💚✡️ Kyle Broflovski ✡️💚

skipper doesn’t even need to make fun of his fanon because she does that enough already blah blah blah

lole idk. i can’t say much on it like yall gotta take what i say with a grain of salt. i’m not jewish and yes it doesn’t personally affect me, im just asking why people are so insistent on using that specific emoji to represent kyle. like kyle is more than his religion y’know? he likes basketball. he likes debate. he’s smart. try putting an emoji correlating with that in your headcanon headings. like you don’t put crosses next to the rest of the boys’ names, why put a star of david for kyle’s then?

Idk. it’s just a bit confusing to me.

#south park #skipper speaks #eric cartman #stan marsh #kyle broflovski #kenny mccormick #again take what i say with a grain of salt #my opinion on this matter is kinda irrelevant since i’m not really directly affected #it’s more of a question #like idk #yall dont marginalize kenny for being christian so what do that to kyle for being jewish? #doesn’t make much sense #idk though im not qualified to talk about this stuff

i'd rather be friendless than to constantly have my boundaries disrespected

#i am so frustrated and annoyed rn #at the beginning of this year my ex best friend reached out to me and i cautiously let her back into my life #things were going great but now she turned a harmless topic into a full blown discussion even though i told her multiple times that i no.. #.. longer want to discuss this matter but she kept going & then accusing me of continuing the discussion as well #and tbh i really should've stopped engaging with her messages much sooner but it's so annoying when someone sends you lots of messages with #their opinion although i mentioned several times that i want to drop the topic & then i'm just expected to shut up lol #she didn't respect my wish to move and made a huge fuss about nothing #i stopped replying to her since yesterday bc i really had enough & i should've just left her on read much sooner #but her messages were truly annoying me #her last message now says that we often have different opinions & she thinks she's more optimistic than me & that makes it hard for her to.. #talk to me..... i was so dumbfounded when i read that this morning #our initial conversation was about whether a song is more pop or rnb....... & she twisted that into me being negative lmao #she was so obsessed with being right that she couldn't drop the topic even though i told her how exhausting the convo was for me #and like it's such an irrelevant topic... imagine being that obsessed with always being right 😭 #idc anymore i'd rather be a negative bitch than someone who disrespects others' boundaries <3 #i thought she changed for the better but she's so self-righteous opinionated & stubborn it's awful #i calmly told her that her behavior is bothering me & we easily could've just moved on but she kept going on and on #and she herself admitted that it's one of her flaws that she always has to be right & she's being petty & yet she didn't stop 🤡 #even writing all this down feels so silly to me bc the initial topic was sooooo trivial #am i supposed to feel sorry for thinking a song was rnb rather than pop???? like go touch some grass please #she even sent me a screenshot of the wikipedia page of the song to prove that it's rnb & it literally said synth pop & rnb lol #but i wasn't even mad about that her not respecting my wish to drop the topic & move on even though i said it multiple times really pissed.. #me off though.... like girl just let it go it's not that deep!!! #but apparently i'm negative & pessimistic for having a different opinion than her 🤷🏼‍♀️ #like imagine starting a fight over smth SO IRRELEVANT but i'm the negative one sure lmao #okay i just needed to get this off my chest bc i don't have anyone to talk to about this & it's just ridiculous to me #☁️

the Urge to buy a guitar with a humbucker pickup in the bridge.....

#those epiphone sg muses to be looking real nice tho 👀👀👀 #do i have time to play guitar? no but that's irrelevant #tho guys hear me out: what if i buy another electric and amp so i can have one guitar at home and one in my dorm do you see my vision #(it's totally chill if i play guitar in my dorm as long as it's before 11pm and not too loud (my across the hall neighbour does it as well) #i genuinely miss playing my guitar So Much #and i have to money to but a new one (tho i'm gonna be pretry broke after that purchase)) #i'll talk to my parents about it to get their opinion... #when i first started playing i wanted a hss start but the store didn't have that so i ended up getting a sss strat #and i love that thing it's so versitile! #but as someone who mostly listenes to rock and its subgenres i just Really Want a humbucker in my bridge #kj post #or do i get a fender/squier because my other guutars are fenders/squiers or do i broaden my horizons ???

brb gonna make this my pinned post

#tennis #i feel like it's the easiest way to know if my blog will be of any interest lol #i used 'always rooting for u' as a sort of catch-all 💀 #some of them i actively follow but don't really elevate myself to 'fan' level even though i do love them #some of them i am just always passively rooting for but don't necessarily go out of my way to watch #the beloved irrelevant flops could be expanded to include probably another half dozen players as well #btw leaving someone off of this doesn't mean i don't like them lol #by default i have a positive opinion of most players #but obviously that means i can't include all of them in the chart 😭 #so i had to be picky and tried to only include players i actually follow/have separate reasons for rooting for #hence why there are way fewer atp players on here because in truth i don't really watch the atp for the players that often #with the exception of the players above #i just watch for the tennis (which i do enjoy very much!) #but not generally as invested in the players themselves #anyway! blah blah blah i am rambling again

I like Gumi Synth V just fine, but I wish they gave her a more interesting design!! Like come on, Teto gets a lovely new ouftit, but Gumi looks barely distinguishable from her extend? Come on, get a little creative with it!

#i also think the whole 'she sound so realistic now! see!!“ is a bit overhyped #IN MY OPINION #but i don't buy synth v or any other type of synthesizer so i guess my opinion is irrelevant #billy speaks #gumi megpoid #synth v #vocaloid

No, you know what? *ignores popular fandom ideas about my favorite characters*

#I simply do not care about what fandom has decided about my faves their opinions are irrelevant #I'm not listening to people who haven't even read the books and can't back up their claims! #arya dany jon I'm so sorry people with no critical thinking skills are allowed to talk about you

the top ao3 ships bracket is being run extremely well i must say

#running a tournament gave me appreciation for the fact that so many are run so poorly #this one is better than mine though even #txt #god running a tournament was so much fun. such a fun week of my life i also read war for the first time that week #which was funny bc it was an eldest sibling tournament and eponine got eliminated before i started reading war. lol #also i knew so little about les mis then. ppl were talking abt ponine in my inbox and i just did not know what i was talking abt #in terms of having opinions on her eldest siblinghood at least #oh also it was finals week. but that was so irrelevant

[bladeofthewest]

i really don't understand why some people insist on constantly posting about what they hate like..... at least keep your thoughts out of the main tags. i'd really prefer not to see senseless discourse every time i browse for content of my favorite character

#it's okay to dislike a character. the things i could say about astarion for example would certainly get me canceled #but i refrain from doing so because my opinion is irrelevant <3 #personal

[formulapisces]

you’re so biased towards lando oscar got his first podium and we didn’t hear anything from you, only celebrating lando after he got the better strategy the whole race? i hate to break this to you but your username is MCLARENsangels not LANDOsangels, but clearly you only have time to talk about your beloved driver when a ROOKIE just got his first podium.

you’re so worried about me congratulating your driver… girly, get out of my asks and celebrate his podium then! this ask came in minutes after the race finished, you have better things to do!!! go wank over the podium or something!!!!!!

go find the oscar blogs and show them some support. they’re all nice people though so you might struggle to fit in im afraid 🥺

(also yes, i hate to break it to you, but i do only have time for talking about my beloved driver because i’ve had a shit weekend and i didn’t want to spend my time on here today. i wanted to come and say hi to my friends and that i’m happy for lando and then leave.)

#also just block me #i have reblogged posts congratulating oscar #i love oscar… which makes this so much weirder #also lando just is my favourite driver so naturally i’ll post him more just like an oscar blog would post oscar more… so strange. #bleh #grey circle with sunglasses = your opinion of me is irrelevant get off of anon and then you can speak to me #its like that anon i got about nyck ages ago when i predicted that he would lose his seat and they came after me 😭

I assume it’s bc of the tv show but I’ve seen a couple posts randomly dunking on the last of us but for such dumb reasons. “I want to play lighthearted silly games instead of grimdark ones” “I want to play games that are more inextricable from the video game medium, games that are less cinematic” the good news is that those games exist! the last of us is in fact only two games out of the countless video games out there, so I would recommend not playing them if you don’t want to

#rambles #it’s an irritating example of ‘i don’t like this popular thing so it must be everyone and everything else that’s wrong’ #like. it’s so funny I saw a post complaining that games are too dark bc of druckmann’s standard but like #they literally listed other big studio games in the post as counter examples #as like ‘studios SHOULD be making games like THESE’ #but clearly….they are #so like. what’s the point here? #also possiblyhighly controversial opinion but i like the tlou gameplay #it can get boring when it’s like ‘pick up and move these planks’ #but they rectified that in the second game #but like. what im saying is that just bc tlou is cinematic doesn’t mean it’s bad at being a game #it’s not trying to copy a film - otherwise it would have been a film to begin with #it’s particularly well suited to the screen and i am personally very excited for the tv show #but the tv show doesn’t render the game irrelevant #the experience of playing the game is excellent #honestly my hope is that the show will open the door for more people to examine viddy games and take them seriously #which would then ideally lead more people to appreciate the more unique and game-specific games out there that CANT fit the screen #uhhh what else. oh yeah - tlou also DOES take advantage of the game medium? #just in subtle and admittedly occasional ways #a standout is in part2 when the game won’t move forward until u as the player make ellie torture nora #now i have BIG issues with this scene but it’s for the (no pun intended) execution rather than the concept #basically if it were almost any other character than nora in this scene it would work better #BUT - that emotional turmoil and devastation and guilt and pain from pressing x and hurting someone until they give you what you want? #that’s not possible in any other medium #anyway hehe oops this is a long rant 🤪 #my point is if u don’t like tlou then don’t worry u don’t have to play it 💕

my personal Media Genres tier ranking and also Neopets Species tiers. put together in the same post just due to being adjacently related because they're on the same website lol

links to the specific tier makers: Media Genres --- Neopets

#(might have to right click open image in new tab to zoom and see some of them. tumblr always makes screenshots tiny) #Also I think this is why I have trouble finding things to watch/just don't watch media very often since I'm so so so hyper specific and #particular that I just end up disliking or neutrally not caring about like.. SO MANY things ghfg #Even being aware of my particular-ness I was still surprised to see how many were in the 'dislike' and 'not care' categories lol #Also it is so so so hard being an Action and Romance genre hater YET being a Fantasy and Historical genre lover ghhjb #EVERY fantasy story is also an action romance.. every historical story is a romance.. ouch oof taking psychic damage always #KIND of like how I LOOOOVE point and click mystery puzzle games but I also generally dislike the horror genre #but many point and click puzzle games I used to see would have horror elements or be 'scary' in some way #and it's like HHRgghh.. I just want to navigate a creepy old dilapidated mansion collecting secret codes from books but NOT in a scary way! #just like I want fantasy & historical content but NOT in an action romance way!! #Also.. NEOPETS.. I think my two favorites are both one of the most common choices and also one of the least lol #like EVERYONE loves aishas pretty much. I think they even won a favorite neopets poll on tumblr. But then nobody talks about vandagyres #or even cares about them (seemingly) and they have like so few clothes or good options because they're just irrelevant apparently #also I know it seems very uncharacteristic for the neopet that's basically A Cat to not be in my favorites but I just gjhjhbj #the eyebrows of the wocky bother me. it doesn't match everything else. Even in different paintrbsuh colors it will be #nice and cohesive and pastel or something and then two big dark lines. I aesthetically love thick dark eyebrows on people it just looks wei #rd on a cartoon cat. ANYWAY.. fun to think about #I love ranking things always #also curious to know if anyone has similar opinions... my fellow vandagyre lovers.. and action movie haters.. cutthroat kitchen fans.. :0c #AND as someone tired of romance in general & ESPECIALLY cardboard cutout cishet romances. yes I would of course like to see more lgbtq+ #stories in media etc. The genre is just not placed higher because so much seems to be Modern Young Adult Romance which of course I hate #those themes lol.. We need some drama comedies with a cast of gay 300yr old elves in victorian costume. please.. ghjgj.. (and like ACTUAL #300 yr olds. NOT 'is immortal bt still acts like an irrational 15yr old bc plot'. what abt jaded eccentric elder romance? hmM? lol) ANYWAY #always manifesting a 'high fantasy historical mystery comedy drama satire psychological character study (with vampires)' into existence lol #if I could make a tv show set in my world... the sheer power I would have.. and nobody would watch it because it would have NO action or #romance (at least none that was serious/was not framed as lame/goofy/comedic) & would have intricate complicated worldbuilding and be very #VERY broadly unmarketable.. but I would finally have a show that meets my tastes lol
