Taking up Japanese as a side project for myself has reminded me of something.
So like a long time ago I had a professor that I absolutely adored. She happened to be Japanese American. She grew up speaking Japanese at home but never really spent a lot of time in Japan. She mostly spoke with other Japanese Americans and read books.
So one day early in her teaching career there’s an exchange student from Japan who’s having a hard time understanding a concept so she explained it to him in Japanese and then he looked absolutely rattled. Like in shock. Pale.
This is how she learned that the way she speaks Japanese makes her sound like a gang member.
Japanese doesn’t exactly have cuss words in the same way as English does but imagine that the nicest professor you’ve ever had pulls your paper over and says “Okay listen here you little piece of shit I’m gonna fucking explain this to you. Violently.”
Have you guys noticed how much the internet/technology just does not listen to you anymore? I click “don’t show this artist” on Spotify and I get recommended a music video by them on the front page. I click “skip this update” on a pop up every time I open a file organization app and it’s right back there every time. I click unsubscribe on a newsletter and it keeps showing up in my inbox!! I click “delete my account” and the next time I open the website they suggest I “reactivate”.
F for the missing Pinkie Pie, I’ll definitely do more of these.
I initially had more of these but ended up not liking the rest of them lol. Also excuse the inconsistency in the rendering, I mostly used these to practice different kinds of simple rendering.
I also merged more of the MLP style into mines to see how it turned out!
i get all the star trek girlies. i get it now. im watching the original series for the first time, and the heavens above me literally just opened up. it was crazy. mr. spock beamed down and told me he’s the greatest character ever made. did this happen to anyone else. im sorry i ever doubted your vision guys he’s the best
