I queued that last post a few days ago but it's great timing because I started my reread of Sword today and just got to Seivarden's Most Awkward Breakfast Conversation. she is suffering so much. it's great.

Like on the one hand the way that they're constantly talking at cross-purposes--because Breq can't believe that Seivarden cares about her except as a tie to the past and the memory of a thing she no longer is (because of course she's not a *person* but she's not really a ship anymore either), and Seivarden can't ask for any kind of intimacy that falls outside the paradigm of a patron/client relationship which Breq can't provide--is extremely compelling and kind of tragic. But also Seivarden's hopeless pining that Breq is utterly oblivious to is SO funny.

#breq from the Bridge Incident onwards: Seivarden is acting like she doesn't hate me anymore for some mysterious reason??#what is her angle???#seivarden: *the most obvious hearteyes in the galaxy*#and then of course the breakfast where seivarden's like 'hey. the whole crew thinks we're having sex #but i'm doing a bad job and that's why you're so mad all the time'#and breq's like 'well. that's not what's happening.'#and seivarden's like 'i know :('#i love this pining disaster i love this wildly unreliable wildly ace narrator #imperial radch

This question is a little weird, but it's plagued my mind for some reason: what would the current rrff crew do if someone randomly bit them?

Wow, this ask has been sitting in my inbox for a very long time, and I'm so sorry for taking this long to finally get to it, anon. I thought it over and, well, here are your answers!

Time: he would use future vision to know when to dodge. Bite evaded, lol.

Memory: when he gets bitten, he’d just look at that person for a long second, refusing to blink because he has no idea what to do in this situation, before finally saying, “...can I help you?”

Illusion: he would immediately scream and try to get away as soon as possible.

Elemental: he would be annoyed because saliva. He doesn’t like that Time successfully evaded while he didn’t. He’d try to get away from the person to cope with his wounded pride. But later, curiosity gets the better of him and he returns to that person to ask, "is this some language that’s only expressed through biting?"

Galaxy: he would scream, "NO. DON’T EAT ME. TRUST ME, I TASTE HORRIBLE." Bonus: assuming Illusion is still programmed to always help Galaxy, Illusion also screams, "YES, HE’S RIGHT. I know your world is obsessed with the galaxy aesthetic, to the point that you guys make galaxy cakes, but you were probably lied to about how tasty the galaxy is!"

Sabre: "No! How many times do I have to go over this?! Just because I dress like a chicken doesn’t mean that I taste like chicken!" (shoutout to Purple Steve)

Void: he would throw a fit, and then destroy that person.

Alex: honestly, being the powerful goddess she is, she wouldn't even feel the bite. She knows that someone is near, but she’s assuming that they just wanted to hug her, and she decided, "maybe this person just really needs the hug. I’ll let them have it." And when other people start freaking out, she looks to her side and goes like, "omg, they’re biting me?! What does that mean?!"

Guardian: he’d get so worried. "Are my wings broken? Did I get an infection? Will it spread to the Steves when I go back to the Spirit World?" So he’d try to leave as soon as possible to assess the damage, and then walk around and ask, "has anyone else been bitten and need medical attention?"

Red Leader: "...can you do that again, but on that guy this time?" [points at Illusion] "And more furiously?"

Green Steve: he would NOPE on out of there.

Overseer: he would make a sheep-like cry. He may have a flashback to the times he was a sheep and had to worry about so wolves wanting to eat him.

The Colors: no one can bite them. But they see the others getting bitten and find the whole situation delightful. Origin Beast appreciates the hypothetical random biter.

Narrator: he would never allow someone to bit him. He would just conveniently have a chew toy to give to the person to divert to bite away from him.

Might be looking at things a bit too deep here, but is there an in-universe reason all the characters can speak in English even though they're aliens and thus probably wouldn't know it exist? Or is it just so we the viewers can actually understand what the characters are saying?

Cartoon logic!

They do have their own languages they speak throughout the galaxy, with the most common being Celeste (next to Noxx, Amvo, Stellar, and Galac.) It’s the closest language comparison to English as any made up alien language can be!

#however you can also think of an offscreen narrator translating everything to English live #whatever is funniest #lumi and the great big galaxy #evan bleats #answered #cerabond

I remember back in 2010 reading a lengthy blog post someone wrote saying the 5th episode of the tatami galaxy was bad because they thought it was too unrealistic that the narrator would get caught up in a cult/pyramid scheme to which, with the jaded eyes of 2022 I can only say, "lol"

#lets be real if this show was set in the 2020s thered for sure be at least one timeline where the narrator gets real into crypto #tatami galaxy #yojouhan shinwa taikei #anyway honwaka is one of the best episodes actually

Alr I got my wip done and I'm happy how it turned out :D

It's some sort of fantasy The Stanley Parable AU and it's not completed yet :)

-------------------------------------------------------

Stanley stopped again to catch his breath. His legs ached from running so long in this strange realm.

He knew he was close.

He knew he was close, and it spurred him to start running again.

Stanley was nearing the edge of the floating island he was on and that's when he saw it.

Or rather who he saw.

It was a enormous figure that was facing away from him. Stanley ran to the edge of the island and slowed down.

As if sensing him the figure turned to look at him and its white eyes, without pupils narrowed when they saw him.

A gasp escaped Stanley as he noticed the wound on the figure's chest.

"What is human like you doing in my realm?"

The voice was loud and clear. But to Stanley it seemed more like a tone that changed and sounded like a song. He knew it was the ancient language of the gods that had long been forgotten.

"NARRATOR!"

He heard himself screaming. He felt as if the figure looked surprised for a moment.

"How do you know my name-"

And Stanley woke up.

-------------------------------------------------------

Alright my creativity battery is out of power.

Anyways-

My Narrator's name is Nova and his design might change because I already have some ideas on how to improve his design/add details.

I'm still working on details for the AU and this post might change so just saying.

Aaaand that's all Oh- and I apologise for possible grammar mistakes I'm not fluent in english

And now it's really all

If you got to this end thank you for reading this possible fanfict I might write later it means a lot

Opravdu moc děkuji :)

Have a nice day/night :D

It seems the general consensus on what zaphod beeblebrox looks like (insofar as there is any) differs a bit from my interpretation. For the record every time he opened his mouths i could only imagine a twoheaded version of him

#zaphod beeblebrox #the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy #s #listened to the first book recently! fun tiimes #it might be that the voice the narrator does for him is just similar to the one those letsplayers i watched did for redd

Unreliable narrators are especially delightful in a time loop. Not even the audience knows the truth of the time loop and the narrator isnt giving anything.

#can you tell im having SO much fun writing glenns pov in the dndads time loop au? because i am.#making him an unreliable narrator was such a galaxy brained move. every day is exactly the same and he just. is lying to the audience #abt it. like. so not even the reader knows thats going on. i think the parallels in making between glenn and sparrow where sparrow refuses #to accept that this is how its going to be that the worlds going to end that he cant stop it vs #glenns completely in denial about even being in a time loop because he just doesnt want to deal with it.#wait parallels isnt the right word its juxtaposition. thats it. they contrast each other! and they have a #like idk uncle nephew friendship thing? like theyre the only ones that know theyre in a time loop. so they stick togrther #and talk abt things. and stuff. like. yeah...... gawd cant wait to plot out this. its So much. i have to have all the ch written before #i can even post the 1st one #cuz it all goes hand in hand.#b.text

FROM SCRIPT TO SCREEN: FIVE OF GAMING’S BEST VOICE ACTING PERFORMANCES

What’s the first thing people tend to look for when rating a video game? It’s usually the graphics, the controls, the writing, the soundtrack; those are the most common features critics tend to focus on. However, there’s another important part of many games that is often overlooked: voice acting. What good is strong writing if all the characters are droning on like they’re just flatly reading lines off a script? How interested can you get in a game when even the characters sound lifeless? Voice acting is a much more important aspect of video games than many people think, and it requires just as much acting talent as any big blockbuster film or your favourite TV series. You might even be surprised at how many “big-name” film actors also do video game acting, or how similar the two types of acting can be - voice-acting often involves just as much ad-libbing and physical movement as live-action acting. I’ve put together a list of five particularly standout voice performances in video games, from superhero action adventures to psychological puzzlers. If nothing else, maybe after you’ve read about the importance of voice actors in games here, you might notice them more often in your favourite games! Enjoy.

Kimberly-Sue Murray as Gamora (Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy) For such a goofy, comedic, over-the-top game, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has some surprisingly moving moments. Certain characters that have been reduced to comic relief in the films, like Drax, are given story beats that demonstrate how serious and genuine they can truly be, and their respective voice actors really give it their all to create some truly touching scenes. Throughout the game there are several genuinely emotional scenes that are played straight without being undercut by gags, and Gamora’s voice actress Kimberly-Sue Murray absolutely masters these moments. There’s one scene in particular that gives a glimpse at how broken and haunted Gamora really is by her past as Thanos’ assassin, and Murray gives a marvellous performance of the on-the-verge-of-tears anger of the whole scene.

Kevan Brighting as the Narrator (The Stanley Parable) This is the story of a Narrator named Kevan Brighting. The Stanley Parable is a game all about walking around a big empty office building, either doing what the Narrator says or going against the “script”. It might sound a bit dull on paper, but Brighting’s voice work makes it extremely engaging and memorable. It’s entirely up to his voice to carry the whole game from start to finish and back again a hundred times over, and he does an excellent job of it. The Narrator goes through a huge range of emotions across all the different endings - excitement, sadness, frustration, fear, rage; it can sometimes feel like the Narrator is a wholly different “person” from one ending to another. For purely a disembodied voice, Brighting demonstrates a brilliant talent at acting that will bring you back to the game a hundred times over.

Mark Hamill as the Joker (Batman: Arkham Asylum) For those that find that name familiar, yes, that Mark Hamill. A lot of people might only know him as Luke Skywalker, and they’d be surprised to hear that he often voices Batman’s infamous archenemy since it’s such a completely different kind of performance. While I personally wasn’t impressed with a lot of the voice acting in Arkham Asylum, I have to say Hamill’s Joker absolutely steals the show. Hamill nails the entertainingly psychotic villain, and the fact that he sounds practically unrecognisable compared to his acting as Luke really says something about his impressive range. Joker’s constant maniacal giggling and sociopathic comments over the asylum’s loudspeaker gives him the most amount of lines in the game, which is definitely a good thing as I never got tired of his antics due to just how darkly hilarious they always were.

Christopher Judge as Kratos (God of War 2018) Sometimes, with enough of a time skip between appearances, a character can seem like a totally different person - which is occasionally a good time to switch up voice actors to demonstrate their new personality. Kratos, the vengeful deity-butchering star of the God of War series, is an outstanding example of a new voice for a new demeanour. In the fourth entry to the series, released in 2018, Christopher Judge replaced T.C. Carson as the voice of Kratos to suit the older-and-wiser shift in characterisation. Judge voices Kratos with a much more stoic and solemn bearing, while still giving a cold and powerful gravitas to everything he says. Kratos’ fury is much more restrained (usually), but you can still clearly hear the repressed anger and deep-seated guilt from his violent past in his voice, and Judge perfectly captures all sorts of emotions without fully breaking the stone-faced seriousness of this new Kratos.

Dameon Clarke as Handsome Jack (Tales from the Borderlands) Handsome Jack, one of the most prominent characters throughout the Borderlands series, is among the most well-known and popular antagonists in the gaming world. His charismatic and megalomaniacal nature makes him an extremely memorable villain, and Dameon Clarke’s performance is one of the biggest factors in Jack’s popularity. While his role as the main baddie in Borderlands 2 is the most famed, it’s in the spinoff game Tales from the Borderlands that I believe is his best portrayal. Clarke brings back the same manipulative and narcissistic jerkass act that fans know and love, and shows new sides of it with more vulnerable and genuine moments where it’s hard to tell if he’s actually mournful and regretful of his actions, or it’s just more manipulating and gaslighting. It’s best shown in Jack’s final moments in the ruins of the Helios station, constantly flip-flopping between red-hot murderous fury towards the main character Rhys and begging him not to “kill” him again.

I hope you enjoyed a look at what I think are five of the best voice acting performances in video gaming! Of course, there are countless voice actors in countless games that would probably fit perfectly on this list, so if you have a favourite voice that you think deserves a spot here, let me know! Thanks for reading!
