My mom couldn't understand why I love this type of aesthetic so much and told me they're too 'gothic' for me lol

I dunno the aesthetic but I like it
I'm not sure if it actually has a name but I like that kind of look. Kinda gothic/punkish but also really girly and pastel-ish. And kinda gross too
Oh yeah it's called pastel goth lol
Hi!
Well... I'm new here (to your Journal. At least the first time I'm posting something xD)...My name's Deepthi :)
Nice to meet you! It seems like you like my journal a lot lol
Just when I thought the problem was solved, it wasn't, and now it's affecting Facebook and GoodReads too

Yup xD
It's relatable...
First time I've ever been told by anyone that I'm relatable lol
Me: "You keep getting Fedrid, Finis, and Fenris all confused in your head," Mom: "Their names are similar,"
Me: "Well, it doesn't really matter. All three of them are assholes anyway!"
Mom: "And they all have silver hair!"
Fenris?
Mom's favourite character in Dragon Age 2 and literally the only time she'll ever play as a girl in anything lol From what I remember he's an Elf who was abused by his master for a long time and thus has a hard time trusting others. But he's also a huge jerk to you and is always ordering you around and insulting you. You can romance him as either gender because he's bisexual, but Mom always plays as a girl if she's going to do his romance route because, as she puts it: "As a boy Fenris wants you to top him. But I want Fenris to be inside of me. "
HehI thought you were talking about the wolf destined to slay Odin :p
No. I don't know anything about Norse mythology
She was really stretching it with that whole 'they all have silver hair' comment though since normally Finis has blonde hair. His hair only turns silver when he's being possessed by his father's spirit. The other two have naturally silver hair lol
It's really bizarre. Loki gave birth to a six ((or was it eight?)) Legged horse, a god was impaled with a spear made of holly, an enchanted rope was forged with the beard of a woman and Loki also sired said wolf...and a giant serpent. I think you'd like tge absurdity I think that's a strtch too, especially if the possessed dude changes personalities
Sort of but not really? Like when he first does that he's very sweet and doting but after Cardia and Finis have sex and he obtains his full power he becomes really cruel and mean sorta like Finis was to you earlier since you're just a means to an end
I'm sure it'll make sense when I play Which at this rate will be never :p
Eh it makes just as much sense in the actual game lol
But then Ill bw more familiar with the characters
True
... And you say you don't post relatable stuff xD
I just found that interesting lol
But it relates to others...I know some people irl who... *whispers* are just like that tbh
Have bad anxiety or need a chart for it?
Some have anxiety, the others are people who make charts for everything.
YES THANK YOU I AM SO GLAD I FOUND SOME PEOPLE CALLING THIS OUT HE IS NOT TRANSGENDERED, YOU ARE RUINING HIS CHARACTER AND I WANT YOU TO GO AWAY
I AM SO HAPPY A BUNCH OF PEOPLE HAVE FINALLY TAKEN MY SIDE ON THIS
Chihiro from Danganronpa
The game makes it clear he's a boy and just crossdresses to hide from bullies
They were responding to this picture I found on Pintrest: 
It's basically 'Gummy Gay' 'Gummy Bi' 'Gummy Lesbian' 'Gummy Trans'
'Bubblegum Gay' 'Bubblegum Bi' 'Bubblegum Lesbian' 'Bubblegum Trans'
'Lollipop Gay' 'Lollipop Bi' 'Lollipop Lesbian' 'Lollipop Trans'
'M&M Gay' 'M&M Bi' 'M&M Lesbian' 'M&M Trans'
A lot of the other sexualties got called out too but Chihiro's was the biggest one people took issue with
Yeah, and some other people were saying 'she's actually intended to be trans it's not her fault she's written by a transphobic man' like wow you guys are stretching your headcanon so far you're making taffy jealous
The fact they call Chihiro a she shows they have no idea what they re talking about
And yet I'm the bad guy for headcanoning Nagisa as being transgendered. It makes way more sense than Chihiro
I dont really see that either but what do i know :p I still dont fully get how trans even works but it's not hurting anyone so i don't care either way
You feel as though you were born in the 'wrong' body. I'm not trans either so don't quote me on that, I just know a bunch of transgendered people Nagisa just seems like it from his backstory and the way he reacts to girly stuff. Plus his body is girly-looking and the name 'Nagisa' is a girls' name in Japan, or gender-neutral
But whatever. Like I said people wanna burn me at the stake for that headcanon, but it's all fun and games to headcanon Chihiro as being transgendered
So evidently this is a game where you play as a mage who has to go back in time to prevent rogue time-travelers from mucking up history...and you fight them by using your magic powers to bring to life famous Japanese swords from history Yeah okay
Sounds neat! Whatever it is
It's called Touken Ranbu It's one of those card battle games I obsess over. Right now it looks like it's only available in Japanese though.
Eh. I'll probably never play it anyway. I don't know very much about weapons so there's probably a lot of character design jokes that I won't get
Yuki Kaji is in it??? And they voiced a character designed by Yana Toboso?!?!?! I NEED THIS
Me: “I love this character so much! I want to see them hurl out their guts,”

Someone on FaceBook posted this thing that basically said something like 'anime dubs actually aren't that bad, you just want to hate on them to feel superior and because you can't tell what bad Japanese voice acting is, there are just as many Japanese voice actors as there are English ones' First of all, my biggest problem with dubs is actually the fact that a lot of them, especially those by FUNimation, care more about making jokes than actually translating the product, and a lot of the stuff they add in isn't actually funny, a lot of it is irrelevant at best and offensive and character-destroying at the worst. I can understand changing some things to make the meaning clearer to English-speakers, but constantly making homophobic jokes and the like isn't that.
And secondly, you want me to talk smack about Japanese voice-actors? Fine. I know I get on J. Michael Tatum's case constantly for being the absolute worst voice-actor FUNimation has at their disposal. He is horribly overused and grossly miscast a lot. And the worst part is that he has no range. He sounds exactly the same in every single role that he's in. You know a Japanese voice actor like that? Noriaki-san. I have seen many shows he is in and he sounds exactly the same in every single one; that level, calm, studious monotone like what a professor would have. He has a very boring-sounding voice and he doesn't seem to have much range either. Plus he's everywhere too, just like J. Michael Tatum. But do you know why I don't get as mad at him? Because at the very least, he is usually cast into roles that fit his voice. J. Michael Tatum is not half of the time.
Thirdly, there are voices that from what I can see, only Japanese voice actors are fully able to pull off. Sure, call me a 'weeabo' or whatever. You guys all know how much I love my shotas/little-brother types. Have you ever seen an anime in English with one of those characters in it? Their voices are far too deep and masculine-sounding because English-speakers are unable to do such a voice. Or they're voiced by women, which is fine for when they're young. But what about those that are fourteen/fifteen? At that age of just starting puberty they need a specific kind of voice; not too girly but not too manly. The Japanese excel at that type of voice and even have a long line of voice-actors specifically tailored to roles like that, such as Yuki Kaji. As I said, English-speakers are unable to do voices like that from what I've seen. Don't get me wrong, these are professionals that tend to work their butts off in such a role. But it's not fitting. On that same subject, crossdressers. Again, a specific type of voice is needed for these characters; a man is has a girly-sounding voice. I have never seen any English-speaking man in the industry pull that off. I will never forgive Danganronpa for giving Chihiro the girlest voice I have ever heard. Because he's voiced by an actual woman as many characters like that tend to be in English. Again, sometimes it can be fine and even work, like if they're particularly young or incredibly feminine, like if they've taken certain measures to appear as girly as possible. But most of the time those characters need a masculine-sounding voice because they are boys...they're not girls. And yeah, I know Rie Kugimiya voices Juuzou Suzuya in Japanese. She voices quite a few boys actually. But Suzuya has a reason for sounding so girly. Much like above, there are actual voice actors designed to sound that way and often are cast in such roles. And yes, I am aware there are plenty of Japanese women who voice guys, like Romi Park and Megumi Oogata. However they have deeper voices and can portray teenage boys quite well. Also, they voice a lot of women too.
So yes, I do vastly prefer Japanese dubs, because they have a better understanding of voice work, have specific types only they can portray well, and also cast their overused actors better. I really want to be a voice-actress so I study these things extensively.
But go off. Call me a weeabo or whatever the hell. These are just my own thoughts obviously. I tried to be as fair as I possibly could to both industries.
Stephanie Seth is my favourite anime dub voice actress. I legit cried when I found out she would be voicing Sailor Moon in the new dub...she is perfect!!!! I also really love Brina Palencia and Josh Grelle. So there, I can like English dubbers too. But like I said, go off.
Me: "This woman has made a living for herself by doing nothing but drawing fourteen-year-old boys!" Mom: "I want that job!"
