[transcript: Immortal Taoists-Idle Manga /end transcript]
ah yes taoism, the famously japanese religion
#my rambles#no I'm not bitter about the bastardisation of chinese aesthetics at all what do you mean#picture the sheer disgust and contempt on my face when I opened my kindle one day and saw some book subtitled#'a greco-roman cultivation fantasy' being recommended to me#like okay I am deeply disconnected and out of touch with chinese culture etc so take this with a metric ton of salt#but xianxia and wuxia are genres deeply rooted in chinese culture and history#like take wuxia for example some of the foundational works of wuxia(?) by jin yong are set in the south song dynasty#I've offhandedly said that idk how racist 蛮人/barbarians are in a chinese context but taken in a western one it's just definitely racist#bc yk. in the book I'm thinking about the barbarians are the jin dynasty. it's two imperial dynasties fighting each other#and yeah I can definitely see arguments why that's also just straight up racist/the way they're used in the stories I'm thinking of#are just straight up racist#but anyway at least there's enough context that you can pretend it's less uncomfortable than it probably is#but anyway toss that fuckin bomb into a greco-roman setting and OHHHH BOY that's getting uncomfortable quick!#haven't read the book can't say how it's like but like the moment I saw that pitch I was like oh no. ohh boy that's maybe not two settings#you'd want to smash together in your fun power fantasy book#just straight up the worst context to put cultivation in wrt the racism problem#honestly that does kinda have potential in an author that knows what they're doing#but uh. a power fantasy litrpg is. maybe not that. yk. yk just saying#plus with like the song dynasty thing like.#that's a period where the country has fallen into deep turmoil and the common people are suffering because of deep institutional corruption#and due to the incompetency/cruelty/cowardice of the emperor and the sycophancy and selfishness of the officials surrounding him#(see: yue fei. or that one battle where the jin armies sieged right to the northern song's capital)#it makes sense it makes *sense* why they're so harshly critical of the government and why those in power are depicted the way they are#idk the context for xianxia/the time period where jin yong was writing but I'd assume it's something along those lines#take that context away and have a non chinese person write that and it starts feeling like redditors going#'ohoho see this is just what china's like'#ultimately this is just me having a disgust reaction that I'm not sure is justified to something that's in the end inconsequential#+ it's not like wuxia/xianxia is something that has all that much cultural weight#(I get the impression from my parents that xianxia in particular is seen as like. the equivalent to YA of sorts)#usually it's just a setting for trashy power fantasy webnovels (which is usually how western folks discover it and yea explains a lot)

becoming a fan of something or someone means getting weird secondhand embarrassment that didn't occur before. and anxiety! !SO MUCH!! both SO EASILY. just because i... now care about the thing or the people involved?? really??
because i really love a thing i can't freely enjoy it without some weird vague negativity related to some unknown vague people?? sure. okay. checks out.

Saw a post about "untranslatable" words but I'm being so brave about it
#it was a full combo with 'german has a word for everything' even#like you have the exact same options for compounding in English you just generally don't spell them as one word#unless it's an adjective+noun compound#like jesus 'German has super specific words but English is also very special and has the ability to refer to very specific things and ideas#is not the strong point you think it is you literally just described every natural language so good job#like it's not even technically wrong information but the way it is framed is fucking stupid#and like even if the language you're talking about doesn't like compounding it'll instead just use adjectives instead#like you can totally talk about untranslatable words but those are usually discourse markers and stuff like that#and I would actually love to see ppl talk more about those bc they're extremely fucking cool and interesting#or modal particles#you know ... cool shit#not this 'hurr durr Waldeinsamkeit Weltschmerz' bullshit#and then if ppl are physically talking about it they also always put the stress in the wrong place#like bestie the rules for where stress is in English compounds is the exact same as the ones for stress in German compounds it's not hard#this one's specifically targeted at the actor who played prince albert in the victoria series#petition to have native speakers of a language play roles that are supposed to be native speakers of that language#the amount of times german-speaking characters in that show go 'let's speak English' bc clearly speaking german#is like torture to the actors omg#like I watch it and go 'oh yes please do I thought you'd never propose that'#like when you as a native speaker need subtitles bc otherwise you'd have no fucking clue what ppl are saying#bc their pronunciation is just that deplorable#and they do have two German actors in that show but they speak like 2 sentences in German each#like bestie :(

Hello, Neil Gaiman. I am writing this letter of gratitude because I am in despair, but I am obliged to you. I am Russian, I live in a small town in the south of Russia, in the Caucasus. a month ago I turned 16, so now I am fully responsible for all my actions. I'm bisexual, which is now illegal. you understand what I mean, but I’m simply scared to write about such things. absolutely no one knows about this, and I have to hide every day. this is an unbearable burden, but I must say thank you. because your projects are what gives me life. you have no idea how much pleasure it was for me, at eight years old, to fearfully admire Mr. Bobinsky. when, at 14, I finally saved up money for the Russian edition of Good Omens, which I had to order via the Internet not directly, but through my friends, I was quietly delighted. it is worth paying tribute to: this edition is really good and very warms the soul, its design may not be filled with elegance with a golden border, but it is very homely, cozy and imbued with love for the work, this can be felt, even if the translation is not the best. and on the very first pages I felt something that I had never experienced, having problems with the nervous system and anxiety: I felt protected and happy. I felt complete. each line was a sip of life-giving water for me. let me be so bold but this book is perfect for me and it's hard to believe it wasn't written for me personally haha. like two pieces of a puzzle. I hold the book of Good Omens, and I cry almost every time because it feels good just to hold it in my hands. you shouldn’t put this next to fanaticism, it’s just personal happiness. sometimes I felt so safe with this book that I hugged it as I fell asleep. then I saved up to the translation of script book for the first season, and I must say that I am confused, because there are no deleted scenes in it with Crowley shopping or the opening of Aziraphale's bookstore and others, and this was not clear to me. and a month ago, on October 30, my cousin, who is like my own sister, gave me the original Good Omens for my birthday. can you imagine? in all of Russia she was able to find only one person who carried out such foreign orders (please forgive me, I have little understanding of this). so, in some ineffable way, a copy was delivered to me via America from Corgi Books, I think, 2014. soft cover and thin pages, of course, but I'm so happy. and I’m also grateful to myself, because I’ve been learning English since I was seven, and therefore I’m glad that I can read the original. oh, you should have seen with what rapture I waited for the release of the second season at three in the morning! and with what delight I watched it in English without subtitles, understanding what was happening. this is happiness. what I want to say is that you bring��indescribable happiness to my life. you give me strength, and I don’t give up. I cry every time I allow myself to dream that I am escaping from here. that I can meet you and say thank you in person with my stupid accent, not so much because of my native language, but because of the braces, hahaha. but I never stop dreaming about it, although even this is hard. thank you for everything. I wish only peace and love. with devotion, love and gratitude, A.
I'm sending thoughts of love and concern. Stay safe.

Ramon had a cute idea for the Huevitos (members of Fit's community) to fill the #ramonbday tag with art and kind messages so he can show them to Fit for his birthday (February 1st), so here's my contribution! I have over 800 Fit-related clips, so it was hard to choose just a few fun moments from stream :'D
Even though the QSMP server won't be open until February 3rd, we still have a few more days to share messages, art, etc. – so if you'd like to post something for Ramon to potentially include in Fit's birthday surprise, make sure to post it by January 31st and use the tag #ramonbday!
Tumblr media
[ Subtitle Transcript ↓ ]

How do I...how do I make it any more clear to someone that I have (A)uditory (P)rocessing (D)isorder. So when you just start to randomly talk at me, I can't pay attention to the words being said to me and then magically know what was just said.
If my name isn't called beforehand I am not going to be able to hone in on what you're about to say. Calling my name first let's me know I have to focus on what's going to be said after, not just "out of the blue" words being said and then act like I was supposed to know what someone said the first time around.
JUST PLEASE STOP >:"((((

some notable moments from the qsmp meta talk antoine, étoiles, baghera and co had yesterday, including the stuff i mentioned in this post <3 subtitles in eng, transcript in eng below the cut as well (I apologize for the bad video quality my wifi hates me)
[Video Transcript:
[First clip begins]
Etoiles: I’m— I’m gonna go on QSMP, I think
ZeratoR: (laughs) This really made him want to play Minecraft
Baghera: Ohh, lucky, I miss it
Etoiles: But— you still can’t come back?
Antoine: Well, technically, she could come back, but I don’t think it’s as simple as that
Baghera: (pained) Not as simple as that….
ZeratoR: What are you waiting for?
Etoiles: It’s Lost, it’s Lost
Antoine: Well, her character is dead in game
ZeratoR: Ahhh… but isn’t there a way to— to— a gimmick?
Antoine: No but don’t worry, there’ll probably be a gimmick (laughs) there’ll probably be a gimmick, don’t worry
Baghera: Don’t worry, don’t worry—
Antoine: No, she’s banned from the server! She’s banned from the server, it’s over
ZeratoR: Sucks! How did you die?
Antoine: Nuclear explosion
Baghera: Nuclear— yeah, nuclear explosion
ZeratoR: Ah yeah indeed you’re dead
Etoiles: That should have technically killed everyone—
Antoine: I hadn’t been there for a long time!
Etoiles: Well, I wasn’t there either— oh, well, you (laughs) you—
Antoine: I was elsewhere, I was elsewhere, dude
Etoiles: What a fraud you are (laughs)
ZeratoR: Where were you?
Antoine: I was elsewhere— somewhere else, I can’t say, it’s my lore, dude (laughs)
Etoiles: It’s his lore!
Antoine: I can’t say, dude, it’s my lore, dude
Étoiles: Antoine’s lore—
Baghera: Oh wow, you played around with that? Damn, I didn’t even see
ZeratoR: Basically he was glued to the bomb but well played to him
Etoiles: The lore in question (laughs)
Antoine: The lore in question, dude, it’s mad
Baghera: Take of yourselves guys! This was so cool
[Everyone says goodbye]
[Baghera leaves the call]
ZeratoR: Basically he was glued to the bomb but he found a gimmick
Antoine: Yeahhhh
Etoiles: The lore in question, just being the goat
Antoine: Yeah but the problem is that it’s my lore in every game, dude
Etoiles: (laughs) Oh but it’s really that. Antoine’s lore is being the goat
[Second clip begins]
Etoiles: Something that makes me laugh a bit is the fact that because there’s so many open plotlines it leads to fan theories that are sometimes really fun. There was a moment when my character’s skin, well, it was made for me with white eyes. And well I used it because I found it cool. And, actually, when I put it on, I read 65 tweets from people going, ‘hey, did you know that Etoiles’ character is blind because he actually lost his eyesight because he was—‘
Antoine: But you know on this server, the moment you say any sentence it gets overinterpreted in every way
Etoiles: It’s so funny—
Antoine: What’s wild is that there’s a billion theories on things, and for my part there are people that have understood some stuff about the theory and everything, which I find rather fun
Etoiles: Well it’s— you can’t reproach them because—
Antoine: Oh no precisely, I don’t want to reproach them, on the contrary I find it so cool!
Etoiles: Yeah but it’s funny the extent to which they get in their heads about it— like, you say one sentence on the server and you read a whole text of 65–
Antoine: Yeah, yeah it’s that
Etoiles: It’s really so funny
Angle Droit/Florence: Hmm, he said he was hungry at this given time, it’s surely a coded message
Etoiles: It’s really that!
Antoine: No but really, it’s really that, you know
Etoiles: But you know it’s honestly that, Florence
Antoine: You say a little sentence that’s supposed to be a joke and it’ll be interpreted seriously because ‘there’s this, and this, and that’, you see. But the thing is, it’s often completely wrong, but sometimes it’s correct. So they have every reason to continue theorising, honestly, I find. I think they have every reason to continue theorising, it’s very interesting
Etoiles: You’re just correct the goat, dude
[Third clip begins]
Etoiles: Basically I can say it because it’s out of roleplay and I think Antoine already knows it, because sometimes people are like, ‘yeah you can’t spoil the other streamers!’ but the streamers see everything—
Antoine: I know everything that happens on QSMP
Etoiles: —it’s just that the streamers don’t use the info rp wise. Basically I’m apart of an organisation on the server—
Antoine: What, you’re kidding, dude?!
[The others laugh]
ZeratoR: What the fuck?!
Antoine: I’m not supposed to know that, dude!
Etoiles: Basically I’m apart of an organisation that’s called the Resistance—
Antoine: (scoffs)
Etoiles: —and it’s completely hidden within the server, no one knows about it in the roleplay
ZeratoR: Even I knew about it, so
Etoiles: Yeah, well there you go. And therefore I have a hidden team that allows me to go into buildings, kill Federation agents that take care of the Island, and—
Antoine: But why would you want to kill Federation agents, dude?
Etoiles: Well because they’re not very nice, dude
ZeratoR: (laughs) Oh the lore is incredible. Well, it’s not nice to be mean, but…
Etoiles: The thing that’s funny—
Antoine: They’re not mean…
Etoiles: —is that I see messages from people on Twitter reacting like, ‘well I think it’s insane that Etoiles is killing Federation agents,’ when I don’t want to kill them. I never want to kill them. When I kill them, it’s because I’m forced to. And the last time, I didn’t want to kill them—
Antoine: That’s a really war criminal-esque phrase, that
ZeratoR: Clearly
Etoiles: No but bro, bro, it’s the admins themselves that told me, ‘return to the base, let’s fight,’ that’s what they said, bro, so I was like, ‘well, okay’ (laughs)
Antoine: Well that…
Etoiles: It was fun, honestly. And so when I saw all the messages on Twitter like, ‘Etoiles’ character has totally lost his mind,’ I was like, well—
Antoine: What, you don’t like white teddy bears, dude? Honestly, they’re so cool
Etoiles: Then again, white teddy bears aren’t really nice, dude
Antoine: Dude they are simply what I’d call the goat, honestly. They’re what I call the goat, personally, white teddy bears are called the goat

Deaf Subtitles
Jaune: I’m deaf, but my semblance makes the words people say appear below them so I can read them.
Ruby: “Like subtitles in a movie?”
Jaune: Yeah, just like that!
Ruby: “That’s awesome!”
Weiss: “I’ve never heard of a semblance like that before. That’s quite the unique semblance.”
Jaune: Thanks, but it has it’s downsides.
Ruby: “Like what?”
Jaune: It doesn’t say who is talking to me, so if I’m around several people I get confused on who I’m speaking to.
Ruby: “That sounds annoying.”
Jaune: If someone asks me to, ‘come here.’ I have no idea where, ‘here’ is because there isn’t a voice to follow.
Weiss: “People have no doubt become quite angry for that, haven’t they?”
Jaune: Yeah, I’ve had quite a few incidents happen to me every now, and then. But, that’s not the worst of it.
Weiss: “It’s not?”
Ruby: “Then what is?”
Jaune: All the words I see are at chest level.
Weiss: “So?”
Ruby: “What’s wrong with that?”
Jaune: Let me rephrase that: All the words I see are at boob level.
Weiss: …
Ruby: Oh…
Jaune: Yeah…
: “Is that why you’re always staring at my chest?!”
Jaune: Who said that?
Ruby: “You need to be facing, Jaune so he knows who’s talking to him.”
: “Whoops.”
Yang: “Is that why you’re always staring at my chest?!”
Jaune: …
Jaune: Yes.
Yang: “I just thought you liked checking out my girls~!”
Jaune: You put my head through a wall because I was ‘staring’ too much.
Yang: Uhh…
: “It was you who did that to him?!”
Yang: “Uh oh…”
: You’re dead, you hear me! You’re dead!”
Yang: “Gotta go bye!”
: “Come back here you bitch.”
Jaune: That was, Jeanne wasn’t it?
Ruby: “Yeah.”
Weiss: “How could you tell?”
Jaune: This isn’t the first time she’s done this to someone, nor will it be the last.
Weiss: “Well hopefully this will be the least of your problems coming here, Jaune.”
Jaune: I hope so too, but something weird has been happening to me lately ever since I came to, Beacon to see my sister.
Ruby: “Weird how?”
Jaune: Well…?!
: “Ara Ara~!”
Jaune: That! That keeps happening?!
Ruby: What keeps happening!
Jaune: Someone keeps on saying, ‘Ara Ara’ to me!
Weiss: “They’re saying what to you?”
Jaune: They’re saying…?!
: “Ara Ara~!”
Jaune: Ahhhh!!! Who ever you are! Show yourself! And, explain why you keep doing this! Otherwise I might be forced to take responsibility for actions I will only slightly regret!
: “What is he talking about?”
: “I have no idea.”

Will said he's "not gonna fall in love" EXACTLY when he does something referring to Mike:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm late to Byler (just watched s4 a month ago and found y'all after), and I'm guessing some caught that Will opened a bottle of syrup in front of his plate which has eggs, and Mike definitely liked syrup on his eggs in s1.
But has anyone pointed out the IRONY of Will saying "I'm not gonna fall in love" EXACTLY when he gets the syrup? The creators must have known eagle-eyed viewers would remember s1 Mike grossing out his sister with this.
So Will said "I'm not gonna fall in love," while we're all reminded of someone he's already in love with. But not only that: syrup on eggs is an unusual preference he seems to share with the boy he loves. Which symbolically suggests they're meant for each other.
(Yes, I know Will has pancakes there, but we all know you put ketchup on eggs lol. And he starts eating with just the syrup!)
The creators SO wanted him to say this line while unscrewing the cap that they made a continuity error. In the IMMEDIATE previous shot, Will had already unscrewed the cap:
Tumblr media
So the timing was deliberate.
And we all remember the very gay-coded Mike Tries Fruit on Pizza Incident. To which I'll point out:
Syrup on eggs = Fruit on pizza
Syrup and fruit both add sweetness to an otherwise starchy food. Just like being queer, some people instantly find the IDEA of it repulsive (Mike's sister called the syrup "disgusting"). But others find it delicious!
And it's canon that Mike has always liked sugar on his starch ;)
Mike didn't want to try fruit on pizza. "Fruit" is historically a derogatory word for gay men. He called fruit on pizza "blasphemous." His friends had to coax him to try sugar on his starch, which he always liked.
Afterward, Mike says off-camera that he liked his fruity pizza (screencap with subtitle):
Tumblr media
Oh, Mike, you just had to try it! And what's the harm in telling Will you like him? He just might like sugar on his starch as well!
"Try before you deny" indeed!
P.S. Follow me and read my blog! I have so much to say!

would you love me if i were a worm? | peter parker
Tumblr media
summary: you ask peter a very, very serious question.
warnings: nothing! (reader goes by rose sometimes... like a pet-name?)
pairing: frat!peter x bimbo reader
word count: 0.7k+ words
a/n: i honestly had so much fun writing intellectual, i wanted to add more to this little bimbo!verse! this trend feels like such a cute, bimbo-y thing, so i put it on here! (in no way is use of "bimbo" meant to be a patriarchal stereotype. please do not take it offensively, this is a work of fiction.)
Tumblr media
M.LIST | RULES/REQUESTING | ABOUT ME
Tumblr media
you're scrolling through your instagram reels, trying to pass your time. you're snuggled against peter - he's nice and warm - and lazily draped against him.
his arm has lost feeling at this point, but he couldn't care less, he's totally happy with it. being close to and loved by you is the best thing he could ever ask for. peter's lost a lot in his life, but you'll never be one of them.
he has his head laying on top of yours, tapping away at his laptop. peter's been busy with spider-man, to the point where the essay that is due tomorrow completely slipped his mind. he's trying to multitask since he hasn't spent that much time with you lately.
he's struggling, typing with one hand, but it's worth it.
you swipe to the next video using your freshly painted nails (they're a nice shade of pink, topped with a glitter coat). what's playing is a girl talking to her boyfriend; you can't hear the audio, but there a subtitles. the girl poises a very important question:
what would he do if she were a worm? would he love her still?
which leads you to think, what would peter do if you were a worm?
would he still love you?
or would he give you away? throw you into the dirt? would he step on you?
you gasp at the thought, and peter turns to look at you. "you good?" he doesn't look nor sound especially concerned, but the look in his eyes gives it away.
"petey?" you ask, eyes wide and wet.
"yeah, rose?"
"would you still love me if i were a worm?"
he's about to burst into laughter, he really is, but with one more look at you, he realizes that's not a great idea. the way you're looking up at him, expectant and weary, almost like you're afraid of his answer has him rubbing your shoulder, a chuckle slipping out.
if it's even possible, your eyes widen more. "you wouldn't?" eyes glossed over, lips pouted, he wishes he could take that stupid little chuckle back. he doesn't like the way you're tearing up, even if it's for a reason like this.
peter doesn't get fazed by much, he's spider-man, but watching you cry is number one on his list.
peter thinks it a silly question; he'd love you if you were a damn rock.
you're so gorgeous like this (not the crying), he can't help but think. with your hair in soft curls, satin hugging your figure. the curve of your lashes, how you blink up at him.
god, he's so happy he's with you.
"of course i would," peter says quickly, realizing he's been quiet a moment too long.
"really?"
"yeah," by the look on your face, it's not enough. "uh, i'd love you still."
"you'd carry me around with you?"
"sure. i'd figure out how to give you a cute pink bow, we could tie it around your waist- er... around you. and buy you a little dollhouse, you could use the rooms."
peter's committed now, and your eyes aren't welling with tears anymore.
"can it be a, like, pink dollhouse?" you ask, softly, voice moist from tears.
"with glitter," he adds, "and if we can't find a nice enough one for you, that's absolutely perfect... i'll make you one myself."
"oh my god, really?"
"anything for my favorite lady. in fact, i'd get you the finest food too. top notch- top notch whatever-it-is-that-worms-eat food."
peter's so glad none of his frat brothers are seeing this, he would've died of mortification. but here, in this room, where it's just the two of you - peter doesn't have a care in the world.
"and, y'know what? i think i'd even find you a pink little louis-v bag. that's right, my rose." he's spewing facts right now, he'd do all this. well, maybe not the bag. the two dollars in his bank account might not work out great with that.
but you don't have to know that part, it's fine.
"i'd read your, uh- fashion magazines and stuff to you. show you the pictures and everything," he loves the smile you have on right now.
"you'd be the most beautiful worm there is," he finishes.
"awww. i'd love you if i was a worm too," you say, nuzzling your nose against his.
"i've got no doubt, rose."
it's not all a lie though, hypothetical or not. he's made a promise to never leave your side, worm or not.
