The Mandalorian is literally a story about a supporting character.

Here are main characters, Bo-Katan and Ahsoka, hunting down big bads like Gideon and Thrawn, and Din is like “that’s nice, I’m just trying to find a really good preschool for my child” AND THAT IS HILARIOUS I AM FROTHING AT THE MOUTH WANTING TO KNOW THE MAIN FUCKING STORYLINE AND DIN IS REFUSING TO ENGAGE. HE IS LEGIT LIKE “not fucking today, not my fucking division” AND DRIVES OFF IN HIS SHITTY HONDA CIVIC WITH HIS GREMLIN CHILD THAT HAS ANGER ISSUES.

So about that apple thing...

Ho... Ly... Shit.

So if a goat broke a horn it would be a unicorn? I say yes

“Dragon” is such a vague category of creature with such a ridiculous diversity of bauplans. It doesn’t matter how big it is or how many legs it has or whether it has wings or not: you can call it a dragon if it is kind of snakey, and/or breathes fire (virtually anything that can breathe fire has the potential to qualify as a dragon).

Case in point, look at all these different things that are dragons:

This is great and I'll have it in mind when i finally play the apollo games

What are Ace Attorney Characters like in the original Japanese Version?

mxearthling asked me:

hello!! i found your AA “pronoun” and honorifc post in the tag and it was really interesting!! i was wondering if you could expand on blackquill, edgeworth, and klavier in particular when it comes to how they refer to themselves/what others call them? i am INSANELY curious.

This is an interesting Question I got a while back. Now that I’ve replayed some of the games AND am playing Spirit of Justice I feel more up to try and answer it. That said, I am going to go through all Ace Attorney main characters, meaning Defense Lawyers, Detectives, Assistants and Prosecutors, and will give you a profile of how they were written in Japanese, comparing it a little to the original. 

This post might be edited when I realize I misremembered something or learn something new.

That said, let’s go!

Currently on this list:

Phoenix Wright

Mia Fey

Maya Fey

Miles Edgeworth

Dick Gumshoe

Pearl Fey

Franziska Von Karma

Ema Skye

Kay Faraday

Apollo Justice

Trucy Wright

Athena Cykes

Klavier Gavin

Simon Blackquill

Phoenix Wright

Japanese Name: 成歩堂龍一(Naruhodô Ryûichi)

Japanese Name Meaning: “Naruhodô” is a pun on “Naruhodo”, a Japanese phrase akin to the English phrase “I see(what you mean).” “Ryûichi” means “Dragon”, and the ending of the name indicates that he was the firstborn son of his family. This “Dragon” is presumably what served as the inspiration for naming him “Phoenix” in the English localization. 

Refers to himself as: “Boku”, a rather soft-sounding way for men to say “I”, albeit it’s still less formal than “Watashi” would be. This makes me sound younger than a professional who would be using “Watashi”, since older men tend to prefer “Watashi” in their work life. While we’re at “Boku”, contrary to what you may have heard, women *do* use it veeeeeery rarely, albeit women using this in real life are usually seen as eccentric and odd. It’s more common for women to use it in poetic writing, though. In any case, Phoenix’ “Boku” is written in Hiragana, indicating that it sounds especially soft, hinting at his generally mild-mannered personality. 

Referred to by the Textboxes as: “Naruhodo”, with a short “o”, openly acknowledging the pun.

Referred to by others as: Maya, Pearl and Mia call him “Naruhodo-kun”, with the short “o”. Trials and Tribulations indicates that Phoenix tried to stop Mia from constantly cutting off the “O” in the end of his name, but she never did, so the punny nickname stuck. Larry and Edgeworth both call him by his last name, “Naruhodô”, without a honorific, which is common among male friends. Apollo and Athena correctly refer to him as “Naruhodô-san” (with the long “O”). Trucy calls him “Papa”, which explains the writing on his beanie. The Judge calls him “Naruhodô-kun”. Blackquil calls him “Naru-no-ji”.

His Speech-style: Somewhat casual, he does sound like a pretty typical, mild-mannered young man, using less polite forms when talking to Maya and more polite forms when talking to certain witnesses or the Judge. He uses the very common, polite “Desu-Masu” forms (which most people in Japan use when they’re talking to anyone other than their closest friends and family) a lot more frequently than a lot of other characters in the series.

Notes: Probably the character who carried over best in the translation. His averageness definitely helped.

the funniest thing in the entire pirates of the caribbean series is definitely that one scene in At World’s End where they have parlay but davy jones is part of it, and rather than have him stand in the shallows or something they get a big bucket of water and have in stand on it on shore

who thought of that idea? who thought “put davy jones in a bucket of water” and had the guts to suggest it aloud? and then who went “hey that sounds like a great idea!”

at some point someone told davy jones their idea was for him to stand in a bucket of water and he agreed to it

I see your 15 and raise it to 17, and I'm not even the pickiest person I know...

I’m at 5 what about you?

God i love this au idea

Role swap au where Zuko was the Avatar who got frozen for a hundred years, so when he’s rescued from the ice instead of a goofy twelve year old Katara catches this mysterious teenager with long hair and a cool scar and a fucking DRAGON

Katara: BOY???? HOT BOY?????? HOT TEENAGE BOY?????????

Zuko: *speaks*

Katara: nevermind I hate him

Reminds me of the old aang post

ATLA where everything is the same but Aang’s an adult.

Katara (still 14, no Kataang obviously) and Sokka (still 15) find this adult in the iceberg who initially seems like a very powerful godlike figure but ultimately turns out to be this hyperactive soul with the powers of a god. They realize that they need to accompany him to help him on his journey but there’s the additional factor of him looking after them because they’re teenagers and he’s supposed to be the responsible adult.

That said:

“Sokka, Katara, wake up! You two are about to witness one of the greatest airbending techniques that has ever been created!”

The whole show develops a Doctor Who feel with this god-in-an-adult-body putting himself on the line to defend humanity one moment before tripping over a fez display the next.

The first time Katara and Sokka are in danger, they look up in awe and see:

And then the very next scene has this:

“Welcome to Kyoshi Island! Incidentally, one of my regenerations was called Kyoshi, probably not related, come on over here, come on, check this out, these koi fish are some of the largest fish in the world, known to be very docile creatures but they have the tendency to emit poisonous stingers if they’re touched and I—” *Puts hands on hips* “—I’m gonna ride one.”

“…What?”

“Gonna ride one!”

There’s that whole Ice Age 2 subplot where Sokka and Katara have to find Aang a suitable wife so that he can help repopulate the airbenders. 40-something-year-old Aang sits down and listens to 15 year old Sokka give him a speech on how to woo women. He takes notes. There’s a running gag where Sokka and Katara just keep picking horrible candidates.

*Being reluctantly pushed towards that old woman from The Blue Spirit* “Uh, guys, I’m not—”

“Look, man, do you want to save the airbenders or not?”

“Come on, Aang, she has a cat, you like cats.”

Zuko’s still a 16 year old kid who like comes up to Aang’s chest and constantly challenges him to Agni Kais for the sake of honor and Aang’s just like:

Toph’s still a 12 year old blind girl who kicks Aang’s ass.

By the time Book Three comes along, Aang’s storming into Ozai’s palace holding a baby chain with like twenty adopted kids.

There’s potential here.

Aaah yes I love this idea!

ok listen. hear me out. A:TLA au where the Air Temple Avatar dies with the rest of his temple when the Fire Nation attacks. The next 2 Avatars don’t manage to make it to a Ripe Old Age, but possibly they both manage to keep their identity a secret for a few decades each, since everyone knows the Fire Nation would track you down and kill you if they thought they had found the Avatar.

So no one has seen the Avatar for around 100 years. Zuko gets sent on his impossible quest to find the Avatar, only to find out that he is the Avatar.

He has to pretend to be hunting for the Avatar, all while grappling with what this means for his identity, and his place within the Fire Nation, and, as always, his Honor. 

When there’s rumors that the Avatar really is back, the “chase” is on. Iroh wants him to learn water bending. Zuko hasn’t really come to terms with everything yet and really doesn’t want to find an actual teacher, so he tells Iroh fine, but they’re looking in the Southern Water Tribe first (thinking there’s no benders left there, and desperately stalling). He ends up finding a teacher who’s probably as reluctant to teach him as he is reluctant to learn from her. 

Zuko always reports that he’s “one step behind” the Avatar, to cover for the fact that he shows up wherever theres Avatar rumors/sightings, at about the same time. 

I’m not sure exactly how he would get around the whole “you look exactly like him” in this universe. Maybe the Avatar is the Blue Spirit. Maybe Zuko’s scar is in a less visible place? Maybe Katara + Avatar Powers manage to heal his scar, so no descriptions of the Avatar that make it back to Ozai and Pals matches what they Know Zuko looks like? maybe everyone he meets as “the Avatar” tells him he looks just like that Fire Nation Prince and he goes “nah, his scar is on the other side”.

How does he learn air bending? Maybe all the air temples didn’t get destroyed after all. maybe Aang wasn’t the Avatar in this AU, but he and a few others survived in hiding, until Zuko finds them - Bumi tells him where to find Aang, since they still write letters to each other (imagine “hello, zuko here!” in a whole new context).

He manages to hide all this from his father, and even from Azula. When he learns that he has to kill Ozai, his own father, its not easy. There’s a lot of turmoil, and he may or may not come to the same conclusion that Aang came to in the show. 

But also imagine the dramatique, reverse-No-Luke-I-Am-Your-Father moment, where he finally confronts Ozai, and Ozai goes “you? stand up to me? the dishonored, exiled ex-princeling? You’re pathetic. you couldn’t even find the Avatar” “Find him? I am the Avatar” and then Zuko fucks him up real good.

Rebloging cuz this is very elaborated and cool

Homestuck Examination - Classpect Analysis Masterpost

Hello! I’m Homestuck Examination, and for a while now I have been doing Class and Aspect analysis stuff. With the advent of the Canon Aspect Quiz and some pretty interesting explanations of each Aspect, I decided to make a Class Quiz, which you can take following this link:

HSE Class Quiz

Ever since I made this Quiz, people have been asking me to go more in-depth about some of the Classpect Combinations, and until now I’ve been answering them separately- But then, given they just kept coming and repeated ones kept popping up in my Inbox I thought, what the hell? I may as well do every single one of them broadly and get it over with!

Below I’ll post links to analysis for each Class individually on its own, and a broad view over how each Class Pair would interact with each Aspect.

Creator Classes - Sylph / Maid - Aspect Analysis

Giver Classes - Knight / Page - Aspect Analysis

Visionary Classes - Seer / Mage - Aspect Analysis

Innovator Classes - Heir / Witch - Aspect Analysis

Taker Classes - Rogue / Thief - Aspect Analysis

Destroyer Classes - Bard / Prince - Aspect Analysis

Master Classes - Muse / Lord - Aspect Analysis

A foreword about this analysis, the pairings may not exactly match up your personal Headcanons, specially talking about the Knight/Page alignment and the Sylph/Maid and Heir/Witch pairings, but I do explain my reasoning in the analysis, and you should check this if you want a more in-depth analysis about the reasoning between these pairings and power ideas.

Furthermore, Classes sharing the same Verb are similar enough with their powers that they may be interchangeable- So what a Bard of Time can do, a Prince of Time likely can, and so on, so if you don’t exactly agree with my analysis, make sure to check the Passive/Active counterpart!

Hope my analysis helps you come to terms with your own Classpect, or think of fun interactions and things Players could do within a Session!

Kudos to @revolutionaryduelist for his amazing analysis of Homestuck as well as the little Class Cards, and to homestucking-girl for the base sprite I used for the Mage Class!

And if you want to see my original Post about the Class Quiz, you can find it over here!

Additionally! If you haven’t been able to come up with your own Class and Aspect yet, feel free to check my Classpecting Guide on Patreon!

My god I ship Gil and Enkidu so much even in the canon tale

why is it that whenever I am disillusioned with the world I go back to the epic of Gilgamesh

“It is the story of their becoming human together.”

This is it. This is the oldest written literary work that we know of, and it’s a story of becoming human together.

This is a story about love, and it’s a story about death, and we told this story thousands of years ago, THOUSANDS of years. We have always, always, always been wrestling with this profoundly beautiful existence and with knowing one another, while knowing that we all will die and be forgotten.

We become human by loving, but we also become human by knowing death.

And I’m just sitting here touching other human beings, another human experience, from across millennia, feeling a bit more human too through it, and I am trying very hard not to cry.
