A Tale of Birds Without a Voice

@stummervogel / stummervogel.tumblr.com

I realize "Stummer Vogel" may be hard to pronounce; you can call me Kiks if you like. My own posts are mostly art and translations. Other than that I reblog fandom stuff, drama CD stuff, otome stuff, frilly pink cute shit, yanderes, birds and whatever piques my interest. Also rants, sometimes.

Thanks to my brother being a huge nerd, my 2yo nephew knows an impressive number of video game characters by name. We were playing Smash Bros earlier and the little guy excitedly announced every character he recognized. His enunciation may be a little off (e.g. Hamoo=Samus, Nen=Ness, Nina=Lucina) but I'm seriously impressed he can tell apart all the blue-haired Fire Emblem characters.

How the cast of Sonic the Hedgehog would fare in Lord of the Rings

Sonic: Would find a way to safely channel the Ring’s power in spite of the metaphysical impossibility, use it to power up and fight a heretofore-unhinted-at three hundred foot MegaSauron, then fumble it into the lava of Mount Doom in a moment of tonally incongruous slapstick.

Tails: Would quickly figure out how to dispose of the Ring, but be prevented from telling anyone by a series of increasingly unlikely interruptions, including a kidnapping by a gang of baddies who intend to blackmail his companions into revealing the location of the Ring, unaware that Tails himself is carrying it.

Knuckles: Would be tempted by the Ring, but lose possession of it before being called upon to make any moral decisions, because the inability to keep hold of dangerous magical artifacts for more than ten minutes at a stretch is the literal basis of his character.

Robotnik: Would seize the Ring eagerly, but entirely misunderstand its purpose and potential, and end up using it to power, like, a giant murderous toaster or something.

Shadow: Would cross paths with the Ring early on, but rapidly become side-tracked by a journey of self-actualisation only tangentially related to the actual plot. Probably fistfights Treebeard for some inexplicable reason.

female characters are never allowed to be comic relief or absolute idiots without being sexualised or treated as weak and pathetic. we need more funny women who are stupid as fuck and EMBRACE that. ladies who dont have two braincells to rub together. some absolutely buffoonish girls. its 2018 cmon

WHAT?! Tomo from Azumanga Daioh is the first that comes to mind. Starfire from the old Teen Titans, Pinkie Pie, London Tipton, Ty Lee... There are a LOT of lovable goofballs!

I think my favourite fact about the elder scrolls oblivion is that the reason the voice acting sounds soooooo disjointed is because the VA’s were given their lines in alphabetical order.

Not by quest.

Not by character.

Alphabetical.

In case you’ve never heard Oblivion’s voice acting, it’s pure fucking comedy gold:

You know what’s funny? Most of the stuff in my nsfw tag is gone but the one explicitly sexual post that’s still there is from an art blog answering the question “What’s the worst porn you’ve ever drawn?”

My ancestors are smiling at me @staff. Can you say the same?

“Captain, what should we do? He’s not an NSFW artist.” “Forget the list. He goes to the block.“ “By your orders captain… I’m sorry we’ll make sure your remains are returned to Deviant Art.“
