"Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason" by Daiz
Oct. 31st, 2025 08:01 pmmalymin posting in anime_mangaArticle Link [here].
While I recommend reading the whole article, I'm also going to place a summary copied from tumblr (og post here) under a cut.
( How Crunchyroll is ruining its subtitles, how we got here, and why it matters. )
Considering the average Dreamwidth user probably remembers when Crunchyroll was a piracy site, as well as the golden age of fansubbing, I'm wondering what people's preferred solution for monopolization, and subsequent decrease in quality, of official anime streaming is. Should we focus our efforts more on pressuring Crunchyroll (and streaming services at large) to fix its subtitles, or on re-invigorating and suporting fansub groups and fansub culture?
Happy Halloween, Anime fans
Oct. 31st, 2025 12:09 pmfennectik posting in anime_mangaAlong with Vampire Princess Miyu and Ghost Sweeper Mikami, I've been watching some Shaman King and Ajazukin Cha Cha, which stars an adorable magic apprentice named Cha Cha and her mishaps when conjuring anything, dealing with monsters and vampires at times.
The dubbed version aired on Cartoon Network in another country, not sure if it ever did in the US, but there are some episodes uploaded at YouTube if interested.
So Happy Halloween and all that, I'm going back to my own thing.

Boy Scouts Handbook - First Edition
Oct. 31st, 2025 12:49 pmmarycatelli posting in booksBoy Scouts Handbook - First Edition
The first edition. A hodgepodge perhaps chiefly of interest in what is included. Games. Short history and civics lessons. Discussions of wildlife and tracking. First aid. How to earn badges.
Some articles show that science has marched on from the day.
Sayings from Indians are invariably in crude English, but also invariably are to teach wise things to the boys.
I noted that in the fire section, they discussed the danger of wildfires, but didn't mention that first of all, you ensure you build your fire on bare earth. Anything burnable will carry the fire away, and roots are particularly dangerous. So, health and safety information may also be out of date.

HalloWEEEEE!
Oct. 31st, 2025 01:00 pm![[syndicated profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/feed.png){kind=small}
cakewrecks_feedTonight's the big night, people!
ARE.
YOU.
READY?!?
I'll take that as a yes.
Now, the first thing you need to kick off that Halloween party later is an OFF DA HOOK historical lecture.
I'll start.
Did you know that Halloween was once known in Druidic circles as "Hallsweer?"
It's true!
Ok, not so much. But you should totally make up a bunch of random factoids and see how long it takes your guests to throw you out the window.
Or just wish everyone a happy "Hallawen," and when questioned, insist that's how it's pronounced "in the old country."
"The Ambiguously Scared Trio"
Of course we can't let the night pass without saluting you, Mr. Failing-To-Grasp-The-Concept-of-Eyeballs-Man:
In the face of crippling chocolate eyeball shortages, you step up with something that technically still has eyes on it, AND is circular. Bravo, Mr. Failing-To-Grasp-The-Concept-of-Eyeballs-Man. Bra. VO.
(Srsly, the more you try to imagine the thought process that led up to this, the funnier it gets.)
And finally, to REALLY kick your party off right, just go to your local wreckery and order a cake with a "Halloween look."
I guarantee the result will be terrifying.
Or at least really funny.
(I especially like how they really captured the spirit of "Hallowee" with all that orange, blue, and green.)
Thanks to Courtney M., Dawn K., Michelle L., Cortni C., & Eric F., who I hear is a real whiz when it comes to Hallowee decorations.
WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 30 -- Thursday
Oct. 30th, 2025 09:25 amlinaewen posting in writethisfanficHello on Thursday! How's the day going so far for fic? (If you haven't gotten started on your day as yet, how did yesterday go for writing fic?)
- Excellent!
- Terrible
- Somewhere in between
- Nothing doing
How much time have you spent on writing fic today, roughly?
- None
- 30 minutes or less
- 30-60 minutes
- 60-90 minutes
- More than 90 minutes
In five words or less, how do you feel about that?

Fall Fail
Oct. 30th, 2025 01:00 pmcakewrecks_feedYesterday marked the first below-80-degree weather we've had in Orlando in nearly six months! Woohoo!
Which means I can now officially say...
Y'all have GOT to be kidding me.
And now for something completely unrelated…
Boop boop be SWEET LORD IN HEAVEN.
Thanks to Myriah L. and Stephanie A. for showing us that Betty Boop really does defy the laws of physics.

WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 29 -- Wednesday
Oct. 29th, 2025 10:23 amlinaewen posting in writethisfanficHello on Wednesday! How are things going in the world of fic?
Did you write?
- Yes!
- No!
- Not yet!
If yes, what kind of writerly activity did you engage in? How do you feel about it?
If no, what were the obstacles/situations that affected your writerly pursuits? What will you do differently tomorrow to get more writing done?
If not yet, because the day hasn't gotten going yet, what kind of writing activity are you planning (or hoping) to accomplish?

No Butts!
Oct. 29th, 2025 01:00 pmcakewrecks_feedYou know bakeries are cracking down pretty hard when they feel the need to remove the "ass" from "Associate."
"Oh, thank goodness! Now our children are safe!"
Thanks to Stephen H. & Julie W., who I assume will be assuaged by my assurance that this situation will be assessed by my asstute associates.
Fun Fact: If you add an extra "s" to "astute," it sounds like "ass toot."
You're welcome.
*****
P.S. I found you some additional reading:
Farty Facts: An Illustrated Guide To The Science, History, And Art Of Farting
Yes it's a real book, I can't believe I have to clarify that. A worthy gift for all students of life, or for anyone who has a butt.

Putting the "Ha!" in Halloween
Oct. 28th, 2025 01:00 pmcakewrecks_feedYou guys, this Friday is Halloween! And you know what that means, right?
Yep: Time to get our hands on some cake.
Finger-licking bad.
Or I suppose we could sink our teeth into some...er...
[blinking]
...never mind.
Just keep your eyes off this pumpkin cake, if you please:
Thank you.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around this design:
Ow.
Oh, I know! Maybe it's a window pane!
*gigglesnort*
Ahem.
I did wonder why Frank there had no nose, but then I realized:
That's why.
Yep, you could say it's as plain as the dong on his face.
Come to think of it, this bakery really should reevaluate their staff:
'Cuz that's one broomstick that should be swept under the rug.
You know, for being too hard to handle.
Not to mention stick-y.
And so, my friends, in conclusion:
Haa!
And...
EEN!!
Thanks to A.F., C.C., Linda L., Donna S., Patrick M., Dana, Jeremy C., & Kelsey N. for the tricky treats.

P.S. Here's a (hilarious) reminder that English is almost as confusing as these cakes:

temps have dropped, ordinary life is re-establishing
Oct. 28th, 2025 03:34 pmtielanA couple of cold days. Not freezing cold, just chilly. In the low teens for us, which is a bit on the cold side. Upper teens and early 20s, sure. Low teens? *brr*
We did get some rain last night. It was kind of exciting! Haven't had rain since I've been back home...

Work is ALL THE THINGS NEED TO BE DONE. And I am taking on more stuff because my team lead is injured and taking time off next week. And because I need to be more across the stuff that my team is doing and not so focused on what I personally do and know how to do. Expansion. Development.
--
I'm trying to get the courage up to have a "birthday of completeness picnic". I just feel like it's a little bit late to organise (last Saturday of November), and that nobody will come.
I just need to bite the bullet and send out the invites.
Picnic. Potluck. Party. It's as simple as that.

We have been eating very vegetarian around here lately. I've beem making things like mujadhara (caramelised onion lentils and rice), and cheesy bean bake, and musabaha (cream tahini chickpeas). And often eating it with an egg. Although in the case of the cheesy bean bake (some of which I froze) when it comes time to eat it, I think I might cook some lasagne sheets and make a vego lasagne of sorts.
Being in Georgia in particular really reminded me of how easy it is to eat vego when you have good spices, but also there's a number of foodie/healthy eating influencers that I follow who've done a few vegetarian recipes (lots of beans and pulses) and they look good. I'm not about to give up meat - no way, no how. But it's good to have vego every now and then, and not just rely on the meat all the time.
--
I just realised I didn't really do a travelogue on Georgia. I'm thinking about doing a fairly thorough one, because it's not something that most of you are ever going to see much about, and it might be worth it.
Is anyone interested in a detailed travellogue through Georgia? (It'll be a lot of what I already posted over on instagram, with maybe some details dredged from my memory.)
--
I'm also looking at a trip for next year, except I don't think I can afford it right now. By the time it comes around? Sure! But right now? No.
*sigh*
Okay, we'll hold off, and who knows, things might materially change by the time things come around.

Also, I need a new travel icon...

Deep Breaths
Oct. 27th, 2025 01:00 pmcakewrecks_feedHey, you know what? I think we could all use a nice, relaxing post. Something safe, easy, and appetizing. Something that brings to mind happy places...
...and happy things.
So clear your minds, my friends, and let's think about happy little butterflies...
And cheeky little monkeys...
And sleepy little kittens...
And warm, friendly faces...
And, of course, giant, chocolate-dipped beetles:
See? All better.
Thanks to Claudia D., Dawna Z., Kimberly S., Tiffany, Lisa H., Brittany J., & D.L. for the breather.
*****
P.S., Speaking of relaxing things, remember when fidget spinners were a thing? Because I found the upgraded, double-duty version:
Stainless Steel Spinner Ring Set
You get all 3 of these pretty spinner rings for $12, and the reviews say they're especially great for teens. These are an awesome way to keep your hands busy without being super obvious.
