Having a meltdown spiraling and crying over dragon eyes by Adrianne Lenker

It's just so beautiful and calm and evoking

From "I don't want to change you. I don't want to change" to "You are changing me, you are changing"

Fuck dude

its wild to me that for as much as people rave about the voice acting in FFXIV (and rightfully so), i've literally never seen anyone talk about the performances for nidhogg and hraesvelgr???

like those VAs were having to deal with a conlang that looks like this:

and still managed to give really great performances with emotion befitting the content of each line

anyway this is an appreciation post for simon greenall (nidhogg) and steven hartley (hraesvelgr), absolute legends

#rambles #ffxiv #this post is brought to you by DSR prog #where the highlight of every pull is the p3 transition #when nidhogg shows up hollering SLOSKH AN GAHR / AHM IN LHEIN FHAIL #the latter part of which my static lovingly mistransliterates as I AM NAMED KYLE #also i learned while making this post that nidhogg and lolorito share an english VA lmfao

Now that Ghibli's new movie is coming out soon, I've been thinking about anime films and wanna talk about my favorite animated movie ever, Tokyo Godfathers.

TG is a 2003 tragicomedy by Satoshi Kon, following three unhoused people––an alcoholic, a runaway girl, an a trans woman––who find a baby in a dumpster and set off across Tokyo to reunite her with her parents.

If you like the sound of that, go watch it because the rest of this post is spoilers and I have FEELINGS about this movie.

URGHH, the fact that only two moments of true kindness, generosity, and care given to the three protagonists without any expectation of reciprocity are given by a Latin-American immigrant couple and a drag show club full of trans women. The fact that, despite her loud and dramatic personality, Hana is the glue that holds the team together and the heart of the whole movie. The fact that this movie pulls no punches at showing the violence and inhumanity committed by "civilized Japanese society" against the unhoused. The fact that Miyuki craves to be loved by her parents and ends up seeing Hana as her true mother. The fact that Miyuki starts off accidentally using transphobic language against Hana, but slowly begins calling her "Miss Hana" out of respect. The fact that, according to Kon, Hana's role in the story is as a mythological trickster god and "disturb the morality and order of society, but also play a role in revitalizing culture." The fact that Hana so desperately wants to be part of a true family, yet is willing to sacrifice her found family so they can be with their own, and is rewarded for her good deeds in the end by becoming a godmother. The fact that, throughout the movie, wind and light have been used to signify the presence of god's hand/influence (this movie's about nondenominational faith––faith in yourself, faith in others, faith in a higher power. Lots of religious are referenced, such as Buddhism/Hinduism, Christianity, and Shintoism), and in the climax of the film, as Hana jumps off a building to save a baby that isn't hers, a gust of wind and a shower of light save her from death. The fact that god saves a trans woman's life because she proved herself a mother, and that shit makes me CRY.

#ramblings #long post #not art #personal #it's the ultimate found family movie #not without its problems. i really dont like its depiction of mental health #for a movie that does an otherwise great job spotlighting the unhoused crisis in japan and its society's oppressive distain towards women #and queer people. it really drops the ball on depicting one of the biggest contributors to the crisis #but otherwise this movie is so fucking full of love and kindness and second chances and how fucking good queer folks and poc are #it blows my mind that this film came out in 2003 and the main protagonist is a trans woman who's just the fucking best #the recent gkids dub is REALLY good by the way! they got shakina nayfack; a trans va; to voice Hana! #the dub made great strides to undo a lot of the original misgendering and mistranslations #also its a christmas movie #also the ost was done by the band that did earthbound's ost

I just learned that Königs VA calls himself a sigma male on instagram and raged about people depicting the character as gay, because "hE's StRaIgHt" so anyways König is so gay now, Soap and Ghost could make out next to him and they'd look straight in comparison

#if he really wants to go this route then be my fucking guest and see what happens #what a lil fucking bitch that VA is lmfao #claain rambles #cod könig #cod ghost #cod soap #call of duty modern warfare #mw2 #john soap mactavish #simon ghost riley #simon riley #johnny mactavish #ghostsoap #soapghost #könig

Can I just gush over how much I love the way that Roger delivers these bits of Sonic laughing for a second? They are so simple and short yet bring a smile to my face each time I hear it.

@ ubisoft we don't want new assassin's creed protags we want a spin off game based around haytham kenway's early years/the events in the forsaken book

Yuna dropping 'sir' before addressing Auron was a significant statement. Here stood a man who had guarded her father with his life, being one of three directly responsible for bringing Spira its latest Calm. His actions have earned boundless admiration and respect from her. Yet, she felt the need to forge a connection that transcended the elder-youth disparity. Her intent on not letting family die was clear, customs be damned.

#final fantasy #final fantasy x #yuna #auron #kimahri #rambles #gifs #my gifs #ps2 #hedy burress made some questionable choices during her work on ffx #but this moment showcased the true talent we'd get to see more of in the sequel #she was always a good va imo just very green #it's not gif'd here but auron smirks at the end of this scene #the glow of a proud father figure #iirc she says でも (demo) “but!” in the japanese version #a rare case/moment of the english version being better????? nani #auron x yuna

OMG! I don't remember having voiced lines when I played Arthur's route before, and it's been all good until now.

But this part... oh my God... it's a whole another level, it brings so much more pain to the whole scene! And he is so, so angry. And it's so, so good!!!!! I had to turn my volume down because he was yelling and I was 😲

“Just got away. Guess you weren’t fast enough.”

“You’re bleeding.”

“Oh so sweet of you to care.”
