Mary Borsellino

My media studies degree just helps me love jupiter ascending more.

There's also a similar Miku figure but she costs over four hundred dollars and I'm not even a Miku person so unfortunately the cute counting vampire will remain not mine.

HAHAHAHA

It's very funny that when I say "I'm way too much of an airhead to know how to drive" people are often like "there's no way that's true" and then they spend time with me as a pedestrian and they're like "yeah you shouldn't drive."

hahahaha I GET EVERYWHERE

again, if you put this into a work of fictional satire about the Presidency, people would think you're laying it on a little too thick

and yet

lmao I'm staying with my mother this week and I've immediately been assigned pornographic manga (not that I work on any other kind of manga) to edit. Sorry Mum.

My online life has taken a specific trajectory because I got the internet at home when I was sixteen and changed my name to Mary Borsellino when I was sixteen, so I felt very possessive of my name and didn't want to go by a pseud online. So right from the outset every bit of nonsense was attributed.

Apropos of "nothing," the refrain of "English lacks our pronouns, therefore any loc is compromised" is such a cliched one monolingual Japanese creators trot out when they're disconnected from the process. And as a translator who Gets It, like, it's just not usually a huge creative hurdle day-to-day?

A funny response to my ongoing lamentations that I used the feminine instead of the masculine Russian term for "dog and cat" for Rin's team name in Togainu no Chi's translation was my friend saying "congratulations on cracking that egg?"

Wokealizers putting Gender in the yaoi we have to stop them.

"What if every npc was a fully functional chatbot" is the game equivalent to asking in a movie "what if you could move the camera wherever you wanted"; it sounds so cool until you realize there is a crucial intent to the limits, and you will quickly lose the plot if you toss that by the wayside.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Also when I was a teenager I read approximately nine million Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan stories and when I was in my twenties I wrote a thesis about Robin the Boy Wonder as a queer figure so I am HARDLY one to talk about the protoge dynamic.

For those unfamiliar with Cardcaptor Sakura, the manga (I haven't actually seen the show I'm a bad fan) has three different teacher/student romances in it, cos CLAMP are very "love is love and that includes EVERYONE" in their stories. I don't think magical girl stories need to be morally correct tho

If you're a Bucky person and for some reason haven't seen Thunderbolts I really recommend it. He's extremely badass and also puts his arm in a dishwasher when he gets food on it. Also Florence Pugh is too good an actor to be in the MCU which is good for the MCU.

holy fuck. happy birthday bucky barnes

Brian Wilson: I’m going to need 9 years and this list of musical instruments only made in the mountains of Nepal to create my masterpiece, it’s called Goofy Goo Bananas

I love hugtto but yes this is an issue. Basically every romance/romantic-ish plot in hugtto is wow did they really go there, to a point where I have compared it to cardcaptor sakura in terms of the number of red flag relationships lmao. Sometimes magical girl shows are very MESSY lmao.

GET A JOB. STAY AWAY FROM HER.

SHE MAKES ME FUCKING INSANE SHUT UP

I love Hugtto so much have I mentioned that in the last ten seconds. SHOW FOR TODDLERS.

THIS IS STUNNINGLY EXPLICIT AND ACCURATE BIGOTRY FOR A SHOW FOR TODDLERS

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

"A.I. used to make mistakes like these."

The notion that McCarthy is making a mistake here, rather than writing in his fucking inimitable style, is astonishing.

i'm looking to talk to any australian pokemon fans for a piece i'm writing for guardian aus, especially anyone with memories of the first wave of Pokemania in Australia.

hmu!

I think Henri has served more cunt in one (about to be two) appearance(s) than the entirety of femboy yaoi as a genre
