It’s this simple.
You look deep in your heart for courage, and you believe in the friends who surround you.
Thank you, Takahashi-sensei.
You will always remind me what matters.
This is wild.
One of the male leads in Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies just dropped out of the show at episode 7 out of 10 episodes, so they had to shoot around him.
But that involved photoshopping a still image of his face onto an obvious double for multiple shots.
It's BAD.
Correction - you’d understand her side if you had anything resembling empathy.
Jesus you guys ran Erica Lindbeck off twitter. One of the nicest fucking people.
Be ashamed.
Futaba voice actress
@ericalindbeck
has deleted her Twitter account after running a harassing campaign over a dumb but harmless Futaba AI cover video
I would have understand her and side with her if the original video was monetized but it wasn't
(in a movie)
Western Superhero: (holding up comic accurate costume) ugh what is this piece of crap who would ever wear this not me *spits*
(meanwhile)
Kamen Rider: (wearing a goofy mask and a toy belt) I am the coolest person who ever lived and everyone agrees.
Everyone: Yup.
It's weird to think that Dan Akroyd has been in five Ghostbusters movies, and has appeared as a Ghostbuster in five movies, but one of those movies isn't a Ghostbusters movie.
Director: Okay Mr. Dinklage, you're being physically overpowered by Optimus Prime. You're on your last legs in the final fight of the movie and your face is being mangled by intense hydraulics and spikes. You are crying out to your god, begging for help
And... action!
Holy shit they removed Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies *today*
They essentially gave everyone 48 hours to watch the show before ripping it out of their streaming service and into the ether
Fucking Christ just bleak as fuck
My biggest issue with Quantumania is putting William Jackson Harper in there and giving him nothing to do but field the most softball fucking punchlines of all time.
The worldwide outpouring of emotion after the passing of Akira Toriyama speaks volumes to the value of the human connection between art, artist, and audience.
Without his heart, so many of ours would not be broken upon his passing.
Rest in peace.
Yu-Gi-Oh brought so many of the people in my life together. It is responsible for a lot of the love I’ve felt and seen.
I didn’t feel alone anymore when I found it.
I cannot understate the profound effect Kazuki Takahashi’s life and works had.
Sure are a lot of people who have never done professional voice over in their lives defending the insultingly small amount offered to play Bayonetta just because it sounds like a big number to them.
My father, David Edward Billany, passed away over the weekend.
I'm not sure how to put any of this into words - his life, who he was, how he made me who I am, the emotions left behind, the love and pain. Any of it.
Yu-Gi-Oh tells us that the bonds we share exist long after we’re gone. That even when we lose the ones we love and hold dear, they are still with us.
Thank you, Kazuki Takahashi, for reminding us that our legacy endures and thrives even beyond our lifespan. As will yours.
I support JoCat wanting to move on from a field that they don’t feel cut out for. I’ve felt similar things and know how hard it is to fight against.
But shame on anyone who actively went after him for having fun and doing something so harmless.
If this is what it takes to be a content creator online, I don't think I'm cut out for it
read:
TL;DR, I’m going to finish up my current ongoing projects, and then I’m going to be taking an indefinite break from making content
Debating Miguel O'Hara's motivations in Across the Spider-Verse with people is like if everyone watched the first half of Aladdin and there was a bizarre group of people who were like "well aladdin can't get with jasmine, he's not a real prince, you heard the sultan, it's law."
One of my favorite things in anime is when a character is introduced as the ULTIMATE VILLAIN in the first arc but then you skip to the end and he's sharing a cobb salad with the main character who is also his brother in law now.
There were people telling me I had no right to post about the passing of Kazuki Takahashi because I'm not a real fan - or the right kind of fan.
Look, if you're gatekeeping on the day the franchise's creator passes, you're not the person to be speaking on the right kind of fan.
Look I understand and agree with the general reaction to it but it’s still really funny that the Netflix Avatar people were like “we took out the sexism” and everyone unanimously went BOOOO
Me: sigh I'm sad cuz the MCU has kinda gotten to the point where I've lost all patience with it
Kamen Rider: *appearing next to me* Hey wanna HAVE ACTUAL FUN
Me: uh yes please
Kamen Rider: *picks me up and runs a million miles an hour towards all the fun*
To all the people who said my cat being diagnosed with terminal cancer was "convenient" yesterday
I sincerely hope you one day gain the self awareness to realize what a monstrous thing that was to suggest.
Like don't get me wrong, there are ABSOLUTELY issues with the casting of this fucking pointless movie.
But please understand that this character wasn't re-inserted into the movie because people got confused about a different character.
I don’t know what to say or how to say it.
My thoughts are with those who loved Kazuki Takahashi and his works today.
Yu-Gi-Oh was just one part of the man’s prolific life, and it changed the world. This hurts so much.
It’s such a beautiful and terrifying metaphor for humanity’s willingness to destroy itself rather than accept things that are remarkably different.
Kent’s decision to endanger a child - let alone everyone else - rather than be proven wrong is unnervingly relevant even today.
There are many people who are bigger YGO fans than me. A lot of people who knew more about Kazuki Takahashi than I ever could.
But the man changed my life on a fundamental level by simply expressing his imagination.
I will never forget the gifts that his life provided us.
For those of you wondering how the show handles the character’s exit - following this moment a fight breaks out between the two male leads. Richie (the photoshopped dude) gets sent to jail and then carted off to military school.
Every shot of him after this scene is from behind.
An abridger from 2009 whose youtube account got removed 30 times tuning into a voice actor's twitch account where they're just full on streaming entire episodes of the show they're in
"Why would he express pain or fear? He's an unfeeling robot."
I dunno how to tell any of you giant robot fans that a character being given the line "Master! The Reinforcements!" in a moment of desperation shouldn't be delivered with the intensity of "pass the salt please."
Part of why I quit voice acting professionally was because of the significant damage I had done to my potential therein by simply making parody content.
Had I intended to break into acting from jump, I would have made more effort to separate my identity from the YouTube stuff.
Depression is a lifelong fight against an invisible opponent who sounds just like you.
It’s easy to feel like you’re always losing because even if you make all the right moves against it, it can have you feel like you made all the wrong ones.
Don’t give up.
Over a decade ago, I remember a con chairman saying he wouldn't invite abridgers because "they're trying to take work from voice actors."
Imagine watching like Naruto Abridged and being like "this Gaara of the Funk guy is coming for my JOB."
Yugi: Hey Joey: Earth to Joey! Hey are you in there? It’s your move!
Joey: Sorry Yoog, but I’m dummy thicc and the clap from my ass cheeks makes it difficult to concentrate on card games.
Tristan: I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN
New YGOTAS - Episode 85 - BechDuel Test
Guest Starring
@ErikaHarlacher
as Rebecca Hawkins
Juicey Flannigan as Vivian Wong
@KaiserNeko
as Fortune Salim Link below
I’m turning 40 in a week.
I believe it was KaiserNeko who once said “if I’m still making abridged videos in my 40s, kill me.”
Anyway, look forward to YGOTAS 85 sometime in the next few months.
The best bit is how afterwards they're like "well what happened to Hitler's treasure" and Kamen Rider literally goes
"oh his billions' worth of nazi treasure? I fucking CHUCKED IT IN THE OCEAN because nobody should have that shit."
I honestly think the Spider-Man PS4 Stan Lee cameo is one of the best and one of the most touching in retrospect.
He’s telling two of his characters that they always were his favorites.
It’s a sentiment we all wish we could send him now.
Gatekeeping is bullshit.
Don’t let anyone stop you from enjoying media for WHATEVER reason.
You don’t have to jump through hurdles place by fans who came before you just to be a “real fan.”
So long as you aren’t actively hurting anyone, there’s no “wrong way” to enjoy media.
Voice actors used to be expected to voice act.
Now they’re expected to promote, live tweet, stream, travel to do panels, etc.
They are turning you into a product.
And the more you become a product, the less you’ll see not-conventionally-attractive people invited to the table.
I have absolutely no investment in the "Goku is a bad dad" joke but regardless I just think it's funny to look at this guy of all people and think "what a bad father."
Like, it's just funny. It's like pointing at Mickey Mouse and saying "he is a selfish lover."
@XXHi_HelloXXB
My honest guess is that it'll be mid-point in the movie after Wolverine and Deadpool have fallen out with each other and Wolverine is looking at a Ryan Reynolds photo, and then it will cut to Deadpool doing the meme in a different bedroom looking at a photo of Hugh Jackman
