okay so personally, i think both Chris Pine and Paul Wesley did a great job as Jim Kirk. the only difference is that Pine's Jim took 10mins to convince me, while Wesley's Jim did take a while - both of which are on me, not on them.

essentially, they are are portraying two different types of Kirk. at the start of Star Trek AOS, particularly in Star Trek 2009, Jim is still a cadet and is put through a life and death situation where he has to earn everyone's trust. he gets thrown in the captain's seat with zero experience and no one is convinced he can get the job done until the end. this Jim lost his dad and still has that rebellious streak in him - something that Pine captured very well.

while in Strange New Worlds, the Jim we meet is already a First Officer on Farragut and has seemingly gone through the ranks. We get a Jim who genuinely wants to be friends with everyone, who hasn't lost his dad and had time to develop his skills outside of the Enterprise. Wesley's Kirk takes time to grow on you cause the first two times you meet him, he's supposed to be a different version of Jim. It's not until Lost in Translation that we see The Real Slim Shady Jim Kirk. And Wesley did well.

and in terms of his relationship with Spock and how they bonded;

AOS: the world is about the end and we have got to work together if we want to save our asses.

SNW: Sam's a dick, isn't he

#star trek #just my personal opinion tho #i do like all versions of jim kirk #and paul wesley's definitely growing on me #also Wesley did capture Shatner's manner of speech right #especially in lost in translation

i love neuvifuri’s dynamic and relationship. like. imo they are the epitome of “we are inseparable, we are in love in every way, we are soulmates not by birth or due to fate binding us inexplicably but because we spent those 500 years being the one constant in each others lives and weve come to know each other the best, but we are simultaneously strangers. we never truly knew each other during all that time.“

and neuvillette knew for so long furina was keeping a secret from him and it pained him to force that secret into the light, but he knew he had to in order to save fontaine, and despite that he still wanted to do it as gently as possible. to make the trial the last resort if the travelers conversation didnt work. after the final events of the archon quest, he let furina go wherever she wished, he (if im remembering correctly) gave her a nice house and enough funds to do as she pleased and live comfortably. he used his new authority over hydro to give her a vision made specifically for her, the very first vision he has given out. he has made it as clear as day that she is welcome to talk to him, to ask to have tea, to ask him for whatever or simply just to talk.

neuvillette using those actions to say “i hope you let me know who you truly are, and allow me to stay in your life for as long as you wish, but i love you so i will not force you.”

#anyway new comfort m/f ship dropped.#genshin impact #furina #neuvillette #neuvifuri #i hope this is comprehensible to anyone other than myself. sometimes i completely lose track of my point when ranting about my blorbos #and in addition to that i also just have trouble verbally or textually translating thoughts into words that exactly describe my feelings #ALSO! this doesnt even have to be romantic. i equally adore platonic and queerplatonic interpretations #i just also love the romantic feelings between the two but feeling scared to act on it #especially from furinas perspective bc shes desperate to relearn who she is #and as much as she truly loves neuvillette shes hesitant to start approaching those feelings #again bc she is just starting to catch up on lost youth + a little bit of that fear of vulnerability near inherent in any relationship #yeah im super normal about them why do you ask?#genshin #genshin neuvillette #genshin furina #also i dont fucking care if you dislike neuvifuri and believe in whatever ship supremacy. idc leave me alone i dont want ship discourse.#let me enjoy my blorbos in peace or ill block you

I'm so tired of shows that absolutely ignore the source material and feel like they straight up don't understand what's important about it, just make a different show why even bother at this point.

#pjo tv crit #atla #atla netflix #pjo #Stop it!!!!! im tired!!!#yes i am talking specifically about the pjo show and the atla live action remake #atla is great! why is there even a need to make a live action show ab it when it will very obviously #take away all the suspension of belief or disbelief idk what it's called #but basically it's gonna be a lot harder to sell a world so full of magic like that when it all looks realistic bc we /know/ water #doesnt do that etc etc #especially if the costuming and the backgrounds look cheap/very cgi-ed #just leave it! dont touch it just stop!!!!#not even gonna talk about the pjo show rick just straight up lied to us lmao #and the worst part is. im not even mad that it's not book accurate bc as long as it captures the feeling and the vibes! then i dont care!#but it absolutely does not. idk what got lost in translation tbh

Archive 81 tv show made Melody Pendras straight we cannot trust podcasts in the hands of mainstream media !!!!!!!

#archive 81 #I have mixed feelings about it and as soon as they introduced Gal Pal Annabelle to replace Actual Girlfriend Alexa it should have been a #red flag #conceptually I really liked what they did to flesh out the first season #but they took it in a completely different direction by the end and at that point it’s not even the same thing anymore 🙄#like you can’t even pick up anything from the original’s season 2 because they reconstructed the narrative so much #idk man its not like they’re going to make any more of it anyways but I still felt the need to come on here and bitch #honestly main stream adaptations of podcasts scare me like I revel in exposure for things I like but ultimately so much gets lost in #translation #like archive 81 podcast is weird and nonsensical at times and Tape Recorder Man’s adventures in the Upside Down just don’t translate to a #general audience ? so they gotta bring in reasons for it to make sense like satanism and witches and demons #when that was sooooooo not the point of the original #like seeing how much they had to adjust to appeal to an outside audience makes me almost glad the wtnv tv show didn’t get green lit #can you imagine ???? how the fuck would they get five headed dragon Hiram McDaniel on my actual television ????#standing next to a Cecil Palmer with a canon appearance no less #like adaptations are cool and they CAN work sometimes but if you’re going to have to break and bend the world in order to make it to the #point where it’s a new thing entirely #ESPECIALLY since we live in a world where audio drama is not respected as a creative medium #at that point I’m just like leave it alone it’s fine on it’s own #anyways archive 81 is an interesting experiment into what live action podcast adaptations COULD look like but you can pry lesbian Melody #Pendras from my cold dead hands and that makes the adaptation automatically inferior imo #I guess she could be bi but when you remove Canon Girlfriend and instead make her kiss a man ? not likely #I am just talking to hear myself talk now goodbye #max rambles in the tags

#Doodles #SCII #ZEX #The Captain #DAX #I made this before Halloween so it was appropriately spooky at the time of creation! I swear!!#I have a favourite Frankenstein: The Musical animatic that occasionally goes through the rotation but it was still a surprise to crossover #But you know how it goes - at first it's just a fun initial silly/spooky idea and then my brain clicks back on and Oh No This Is A Thing lol #But for now! Silliness!#I'm still really enamoured with the idea of ZEX as a warrior and a scholar - very Thucydides y'know ♪#His extremely brilliant tactical mind needs puzzles! And I mean with all this free time on Cerenkov and given the right Ingredients #He'd certainly have the motivation to try and figure out the trick to life maybe-very-specifically-about-humans lol #It does raise the question of what a ''human'' made by a VUX might be like ♪ Yes he's a reanimated corpse(s) but like #Surely even with all his research - at the very least something /could/ have gotten lost in translation :)#Maybe even just the inherent Thing of humanness - the soul or respect of the dead? Like swearing in another language if you know what I mean #It's interesting :) I mean it's interesting either way haha it's a fun concept!#Especially with Frankenstein specifically since y'know - the creature's whole Thing of why he Came Out Wrong was mostly on Victor!#He rejected and abandoned his ''child'' - of course he's gonna have some emotional issues Victor!#ZEX tho - ZEX has no reason to abandon a human(oid) especially one he intentionally went about bringing about!#So his eyes are a little weird - so he's got some odd stitches and he moves strangely and smells a bit - how different is that from humans?#All humans are monstrous! What's a few extra details? ZEX is already a xenophile and a teratophile is what I'm saying lol #DAX on the other hand is not convinced lol ♪ Drawing his head tendrils change expressions so fast was fun haha #As was drawing the Captain all stitched and with the bolts! Yes yes they're movie addition shhh all art is scaffolded over time #The real question is where ZEX got all the parts from - is that the Captain for realsies?#Or a fun role fill-in ''What if ZEX made a human and it was the Captain [before the Captain would've existed anyway]?''#It could go either way! It'd be sad if ZEX lost his Captain and then tried to bring him back :')#But then again the alternative is him like........harvesting? (Off the battlefield? Ew lol)#Oh yeah and do you like the broken-off head tendril as a stand-in for Victor's whitening hair lol #I imagine it went necrotic and wasn't quite fully reaccepted - it's still full of blood and healthy but the skin is faded and pale hehehe

all in all im still a hater of the one widespread english translation of kiss of the spider woman (book) but i dont like the movie all that much so i guess ill just tell people to read the book and like . take it with a grain of salt ←just googled this expression idk if its correct. but its a really good book so everyone should read it one way or another

#my main gripe with it (book english translation) is how he character voices get lost especially in word choice #and how a small thing like valentín saying 'my girl' instead of 'my partner' or 'my comrade' changes a lot about him . imo #especially in a book thats entirely dialogue #and also theres a racial slur that wasnt there in spanish -_-#chizitxt #i havent read all of it though so idk if theres more that i dont likw about it #i will get back to it eventually...#augh it also changes a lot of small cultural references like the characters drinking mate to them drinking tea . small stuff that lessens #the books impact to me.#jesus christ i made a million typos in the tags. whatever

just beat chants of sennaar! beautiful game

#i really enjoyed the translating between peoples bits the most #especially cause there were (obviously very simplistic) grammatical differences that i loved figuring out #my favourite translation was having to use the same word for devotees and the actual literal monster when talking to the warriors.#yeah guys you say u can handle it but i think the danger of the situation was lost in translation #very good game #chants of sennaar #and the ending was wild #it took me abt 8 hours to complete! and i got every glyph! (even though i nearly missed 3 from the alchemists)#cause i literally didn't need them to progress to the next level #but i went back n found em

Probably the biggest (though a bit dubious) advantage of reading Discworld books for the first time at 26 is that you understand every single double entendre

If I were British I would've probably also understood every single sociopolitical reference cause now I feel I've missed a few

#discworld #well. every single that isn't lost in the translation I'm reading #like e.g calling Cutwell Keli's chamberlain which is. veeeeeeeeeeeeery vague especially since there isn't any “chamber” in the Russian word #the translations I'm reading tend to lose A LOT actually. there isn't a day when I'm not complaining to Shio that some joke was lost #desperately waiting for the editions with Graf's covers #I compared the printed version of Hogfather to my ebook of Hogfather and the former is SO much better it's insane #with a C1 I probably could've just read the originals but for an unknown and very sad reason #I find it incredibly hard to focus on Pratchett's original text #but then again the only book I checked this on was Good Omens so it might have been Gaiman's influence #tags 10x the length of post

Listen, I know this might sound untrue, but Arthur IS mostly a bad dude—or at least not as good a man as some claim. (I love him still but hear me out)

This is not me arguing “he’s bad so you shouldn’t like/glorify him” at all, I promise—I can’t stand that rhetoric. It’s just that I see a lot of “he’s so kind” “so good at heart” “so hard on himself” and I wonder why folks so often adamantly, un-ironically claim him as a misunderstood gentle giant type.

The fact that he’s mostly nice to those he cares about and is willing to help strangers in need (never mind both of those things are optional anyhow, you can just as easily play him as an asshole who doesn’t come to anyone’s aid—) doesn’t undo the harm he’s responsible for throughout the game. Nor does him being told to do so by an authority or being a victim of circumstance undo it.

His good doesn’t make up for his bad, and I don’t think it actually needs to. His bad certainly doesn’t take away from what makes him compelling and likeable to the audience; but within the context of his world, he’s right to be unhappy with who he is. It’s not a matter of low self esteem or self worth issues, his unhappiness with himself comes from self awareness.

(Saying this with a grain of salt because you know, fictional character with no real agency whose actions are as such for plot reasons), he may have had a shit hand dealt to him, but he’s a person who makes bad choices. He’s charming and relatable (and hot lol) but I’m not sure I understand the whole simplifying his character to “good person stuck in bad situation” thing, when it plainly isn’t the case, no matter how much we like him.

I think the “you’re a good man Arthur” line gets thrown around as proof of him being good at heart; but I think it’s more like, he needed to hear it to act as such. He needed to be told how to be good and pushed into reflection and immediate actions. He needed to be told that he’s a good man by others because he needed permission in a sense to be different than he knows himself to be. (Take a shot every-time I say good)

“The Thomas Downes mission was out of character” it really isn’t. He says what kind of man he is multiple times, he hammers the point home that he’s a bad man. And while there is definitely a bit of self loathing in that sentiment, he’s still speaking his truth. He’s just unhappy with it; he IS the type of man to commit an atrocity like beating a dying man for a few bucks. It goes against the beliefs fans have projected onto him, usually coming from their own moral compass instead of what the character shows his own to be, and that’s why it ‘feels so wrong’ to see him doing something actually despicable.

We arrive at this misunderstanding due to fandom projection, as well as this rampant desire to problem solve by ‘fixing’ the canon material to fit a sort of agenda. Ie, ‘I only like the good attributes in this character’ ‘it’s only acceptable to like this bad dude provided he’s always feeling guilt for his actions’ or ‘he’s not really at fault for them.’

But the thing is, even if Arthur is at conflict with his actions, the guilt he may feel isn’t an indication of anything pure within him. He’s in total control and chooses still to go along with everything. I tend to think an action done in guilt is functionally the same as an action done with enjoyment. Arthur feeling bad at the end of the game for his faults and complicity doesn’t mean he is good. Nor does it mean he ‘was a good the whole time’, nor does it excuse what he’s done.

We don’t have to make him a better person than he is in order to like him, is what I’m trying to say I guess. It’s fine to acknowledge all parts of him, to do otherwise does a disservice to his character as it often flattens them beyond recognition. And it’s also fine to hone in on what you appreciate most and write and draw and celebrate that while functionally ignoring the rest if you so choose—but it’s also fine (and usually important) to acknowledge who the character is without the plethora of projections placed upon them.

Arthur ends the game with a loving act, more or less saving John, saving Abigail, Tilly, paving the way for them to become something better than he was. None of these things are meant to be a great action done to save his soul or redeem him in any eyes, especially not his own. He dies on a good note (and yeah I would say low honour/back for the money is still a ‘good’ choice for a low honour story), and shifts his focus to the last good deed he’s done in his final moment as a way to leave off peacefully despite all his wrongdoings. He doesn’t get redemption really, and he doesn't wholly achieve 'goodness', despite all the potential for growth the audience can see in him, that’s the deliberate tragedy of it all.

#i know im forgetting so many things that would change the tone of what im saying so take away is this; i love him and i love ooc him #but flattening the character and reducing them to their best or worst traits alone is a type of simplification im thinking we should all #grow out of #boy that was a doozy #sorry if that got nonsensical #I usually skip analyses stuff or essays and commentaries but this was rattling in my brain for a while #not to be negative but one of the worst parts of fandom to me is when a character/story gets lost in translation due to fanon #and I think that’s rampant here especially and not just for arthur #but what do I know yk #NOT a character critical post I love him he’s my wife and son in one too precious for this world yadda yadda #arthur morgan #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2

Rom-halan Mahk (The Parting Glass) T'Vulkansu

Lyrics under the cut (Original english, Vulkansu in bold, literal translation in italics)

Of all the money that e'er I had

Svi’ma-vel t’ek pinkaunu

In possession of wealth, all my earnings

I have spent it in good company

Vlital kau-bosh heh akhlami t’hyle

Spent wise and among lifelong friends

Oh and all the harm I've ever done

Ek’dash-tor t’nash-veh ki’tor svi’mene

All hurt I have done in life

Alas, it was to none but me

Tor fi’t’nash-veh sa’awek

Done upon myself alone

And all I've done for want of wit

Kanon duhik torai t’nash-veh

Every foolish action of mine

To memory now I can't recall

Hal-tor I kwi’vokaya

Gone now from memory

So fill to me the parting glass

Nufau t’nash-veh rom-halan makh

Offer my farewell glass

Good night and joy be to you all

Sochya eh dif fi’ek’du

Peace and long life upon all you

Of all the comrades that e'er I had

Feel grief they do at departure

And all the sweethearts that e'er I had

Trashu ik fasei ashayam

Departing from beloved

They would wish me one more day to stay

Istaya au wuvau yaret

Wish they to lengthen visit

But since it fell unto my lot

Kupi-ri rubah t’nash-veh buk

Could not change my fate

That I should rise and you should not

Trashu ik du’tu hafau

Departing while you remain

I'll gently rise and softly call

She-tor buk eh stariben

Rising to fate and speak

Good night and joy be to you all

Sochya eh dif fi’ek’du

And drink a health whate'er befalls

Fudau fam, nartau mene

Regardless embrace life

Then gently rise and softly call

Good night and joy be to you all

Sochya eh dif fi’ek’du

Peace and long life upon all you

Good night and joy be to you all

Sochya eh dif fi’ek’du

Peace and long life upon all you

So fill to me the parting glass

Nufau t’nash-veh rom-halan makh

Offer my farewell glass

And gather as the evening falls

Hokau vah tevan-tor khru

I’ll gently rise and softly call

She-tor buk eh stariben

Gather as falls evening

Good night and joy be to you all

Sochya eh dif fi’ek’du

Rising to fate and speak

Peace and long life upon all you

Good night and joy be to you all

Sochya eh dif fi’ek’du

Peace and long life upon all you

Cookie your tags are so good ssjkfdkfhskdjh

Thanks I grew them myself in my garden

#was going to go in a long ramble about how i often wish that like #tumblr replies let you like replies and other social medias let you leave tags #because when you're on twitter or smth you just want to casually say like #'i like x part of this thing :)' or 'oh my god they're gay' but like #you don't want to tweet it. if that makes sense. 'cause the tweet is treated like a whole-ass post #and is it worth saying 'nice' just for that?#where people have to find the context in the post you're replying to? where it might get lost in translation?#but no. tags themselves they are already on the post that i intend them to be by default #i am already reblogging the post #and the tags are always going to be at the bottom of the post #and if i am able to put across the rampant thoughts of my brain i may as well do it #especially because i--as a fellow artist--do genuinely love when people go wild in their tags on my stuff :)#plus tumblr is a site that enables going A Little Wild With It so my filters are very much loosened #and that doesn't hurt matters either because adhd #tags are funny i like them. more people should use them i think #it's like you're whispering something secret to the op that only you the op your followers and anyone who happens to find you in the notes #will ever really read. it's so Optional it's great #anyways. i love that tumblr decided it'd be a fun practical joke to just #log me out while i was writing those tags. that is so funny. april 1st came early

When older works of literature have modern relevance and timeless points to make that even 200 years later hit the same because time is a fucking circle apparently

#Reading Frankenstein for school and I'm going insane over Volume II especially #Everything about the monster and prejudice and human nature and the want to be accepted and rejection leading to desperation and despair an #how we're still so fucking vain and how we still equate beauty with morality and hrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng #Also going more and more Oh god this is why I can't stand the pop culture views on this cause the adaptation didn't even realise there was #a point to begin with and lost all of it in translation and hrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng #This book is fucking good

Socialisation is key, i really am just like a bunny

#felt genuinely happy and all i did was go over to my friend's flat between our lessons since she rents close by #and we had coffee and talked ab our failed loves and laughed so much and awughhhhhh #i've really been feeling off these past few months but especially these past two weeks #i don't wanna say it but i just felt like i had no meaning #and hanging out and having fun and doing paid work really managed to make me feel a bit better #and like i actually am a human being with some sort of purpose #even if it is to offer cheap and quick last minute translations or a ''DON'T FALL FOR HIM'' through laughter #sighs #idk. maybe i shouldn't let myself get consumed with anxiety and ''if i fail this then this will happen which will lead to this and that so #essentially if i fail this minor thing i'll fuck everything up and there'll be no fixing it'' but that's easier said than done #i can always distract myself tho and just do my best #i think it was during that coffee that i thought ''okay so even if i fail an exam or two - i can take them during the autumn. i don't have #to pass everything on time - few first years do - and i will still be able to rest between summer and autumn dates #so it's not like i'll be a lost cause if i don't pass everything by july's end'' but. it's still hard to think of it #but we'll see. in God's hands #we also laughed a lot bc i mentioned being religious and she went ''YOU?!'' hdbsbsbsjdjd😭😭.... is that so shocking.........
