it's like the direct opposite of miu's eng dub VA calling her みゅ... are americans stupid? (said affectionately. i do find accent differences to be very endearing. 'mew iRUma' definitely was foul tho)

i think trilled-adjacent る is what i default to because it sounds the closest ? i mean りゆ is definitely easiest for me but it makes me sound so obviously american, i want to at least make an effort. but you do see a lot of street fighter fans here pronounce ryuu's name as RI-yu, which is funny to me

(^i'm sure i sound american anyway, even though i don't think my pronunciation is awful or anything. mostly the accents/stresses are my tell i think? and my struggle with ん preceding a vowel. prob some others idk)

does anyone else here who does not natively speak japanese have a really hard time pronouncing りゅ
i have to either say りゆ/りう, hide it with a kind of weird almost-rolled る, or just straight up lyu like an english L

thinking about my OC-ified canon characters, expies, whatever you wanna call them. made a list to keep track, roughly chronological order (very rough. nature of long-term change)
too embarrassed to do alt text (makes the fandoms searchable) but not too embarrassed to tag #jackroachoc

[B-ka] The setting sun illuminated the classroom. Your smile and voice, coupled with the light, were seared into my memory. So beautiful that it was painful; an image that evoked memories of summer.

one thing i am proud of and really enjoy about my OCs is that all of the main 5 have a very solid argument for the title of "main character"

fetishizing real people's trauma is okay sometimes but fetishizing fictional characters' trauma is BAD and ICKY😠😠 like What are we talking about here. am i insane. do words mean stuff anymore. even if you use the most uncharitable misinterpretation of pro-ship possible, does this make any sense

jack👁️ @jackroach.bsky.social · 23h
