Earlier today I made a reference to “Backstroke of the West”, and when I looked it up I saw that the original post was made in 2005, which means that a good chunk of people on here might be too young to remember it. So consider this post a public service.
i saw revenge of the sith last weekend at a local theater with my friend joe who was in town on business. it was much better than the first two movies and a fitting end (err.. middle) to the star wars saga.
the next day i was walking past my friendly dvd salesperson and decided to check out revenge of the sith. i was assured the quality was good and for 7rmb why not give it a shot.
aside from the counters on the top of the screen and a distorted perspective it was ok- not high quality but watchable. the captions were a hilarious surprise- a direct english translation of the chinese interpretation of what the script was saying. it varied from being somewhat close to the script to being ‘far far away’….
amazingly enough, the beginning scroll is mistranslated even though the words are right there on the screen.
star war (just one)
‘the backstroke of the west’ is the english translation of the chinese title.

i was thinking about headcanons for when lorena leaves after signing the contracts, and she says her goodbyes to hèctor, imelda, and ernesto in the train station before departing. it reminded me of that scene in tbol where maria leaves for spain?? I’M CRYING IN THE CLUB
I’m so excited for “chores with all time low”. First comes laundry. Then? A world of possibilities! We might make beds! Maybe some floor mopping will occur! It’s wild man!
This is a late happy birthday gift to @codename-bewareofthefangirl<3 I was inspired by your Karasuno first years one-shots and I love everything you write!
THIS IS AMAZING AND YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOUR ART.
I CAN’T STOP STARING.
The colors, the expressions, the t-shirts, how they look at each other… This is one of the best presents ever, I’m gonna save it to look at it when I’m down. You gave life to them, they are even better than what I imagined.
AAAAAAAH I don’t know to convey you how happy I am!
Okay this has popped up on my dash again and I resisted the urge the first few times but now I can’t.
In college I was friends with a bunch of exchange students and went to a party off campus with them. After a couple hours the owners of the apartment called it a night but my friends wanted to continue to hang out. One of the other exchange students volunteered his place. Only problem was there were 10 of us and our only ride was a honda civic.
So we had a 6 foot tall Swedish dude with two Japanese girls on his lap in the front passenger seat, three Saudi students and me sitting in the back seat with two Thai students sitting on our laps and a Mexican-American woman driving.
I being paranoid asked, “What do we do if we get pulled over?”
The driver tries to look at me, “Do you speak another language or can you fake Swedish?”
“No, but I know ASL.”
She nodded, “Okay so the plan is if we get in trouble, no one speaks English and you’re Deaf.”
That was our plan guys.
This is the best comment I’ve ever had on this post.
have you ever listened to something so horrible that you just had to continue listening even though it’s much healthier to just stop it cause that’s this
