If priming the feed--that's twisting the piston or converter, or gently shaking the pen or squeezing the cartridge, until the feed saturates again--doesn't work, try running it under water for a bit and then drying with a paper towel. If that still doesn't work, you may have to flush and clean the pen (if you have a viable container handy, you might even be able to save the ink.)

Which one, slang? Yes, that's correct. Go for it! Thankfully, most dubs nowadays seem do be doing localization right. They're not rewriting the show (except for Ghost Stories, but that's a...special case) or messing with the author's intent, they're tweaking the vibe to better suit a different audience--I believe the phrase "it just hits different" is applicable here. Which is why I'm glad we have both sub and dub! Even I have certain shows I prefer in sub, despite mostly being dub-first.

Emily Dickinson! 10/10. -
Understandable! I have seen that clip, it's pretty great. I'm glad to see other languages get good dubs, too. (I'm thinking of rewatching Spy x Family in German, because I'm trying to learn and it just seems appropriate for that story.)

Ishigami's character arc in S2 is one of my favorite aspects of the show. I don't know how they can go from absolutely chaotic humor to super emotional so well, but here we are. Also, sub or dub? Normally I wouldn't care, but this show's dubs are S-tier.

Love is War really be out here competing for my favorite anime of all time, huh?

Writing is not the place to skimp on your budget. Seduce me, entice me, entertain me with words. Don't be cryptic, don't be stupid, and please don't be dull.

Turns out Vocal Point are still amazing even if only one of your ears is working. Ain't nobody need hearing when you can feel those voices in your bones my word
Also, shoutout to the dude in the group sitting across from us on the train who spent the whole ride back spouting puns! Thank you, kind sir, you made the return trip much less boring.

Not necessarily. Just not a lot of action lately.

Happy Independence Day!
I'm really thankful, actually, for the United States of America. Please, let's not let the bad apples take away from what this country fundamentally is: a nation with limitless potential, designed to live and grow with its people to protect their liberty.
Might I share a couple songs I've been listening to today? I know they're not your typical patriotic songs, but good music knows no bounds.
Fireworks Festival
Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do
(an instrumental medley of both) -
Well, there you go! A good score ought to hold up independent of the movie it's for, I think. I'm glad you like it.
-
Ooh, Patrik did a cover of the Maverick score? Be right back... The music's one of the things I loved most about that movie. I didn't care about it either way before watching it, but the music had me hooked from the first note and didn't let me go 'til the lights came back on.

Please tell me someone else finds this as funny as I do. I need to know I'm not insane.

Sometimes you can and should suspend disbelief, and sometimes you need a slightly deranged-sounding YouTuber to say "...we sure about this, guys?"
Myself, I saw the video before ever seeing a second of RWBY, and I about cried from laughing so hard. I'd never cared enough about the show to seek it out, but since the new series released and some friends from work invited me to watch it with them, I've been giving it a shot. And you know what? I'm enjoying it! Sure, it may eventually go the way of the drain like the parody indicates, but that's the magic of going in with (mostly) no preconceptions: I don't care!
-
Yeah, if you're watching the original series, I suggest that you stop at the end of Volume 3, because if you think that it can get better than what that finale did, you're wrong –– I still think that it's a beautiful finale to this day, despite not caring for the series anymore.. well, maybe in the future I'll do some rewriting, but that's another topic.
I can't say much about the new series, since haven't watched it yet, but I've been meaning to. From what I can tell, it appears to be a step up from the original series. I have to actually devote time to it instead of sitting in my room and basically doing nothing lol.

Quick question: which euphemism do you prefer, "shake a tower" or "rinse the flesh prison"?
Well, maybe that last one's a dysphemism. Either way.

Nocturne by Sadakichi Hartmann is one of my favorite poems of all time--it actually gave me goosebumps when I first read it. The composition is just *chef's kiss*
Simply copy-pasted this time so I don't butcher it with my...interesting handwriting.
SpoilerUpon the silent sea-swept land
The dreams of night fall soft and gray,
The waves fade on the jeweled sand
Like some lost hope of yesterday.The dreams of night fall soft and gray
Upon the summer-colored seas,
Like some lost hope of yesterday,
The sea-mew’s song is on the breeze.Upon the summer-colored seas
Sails gleam and glimmer ghostly white,
The sea-mew’s song is on the breeze
Lost in the monotone of night.Sails gleam and glimmer ghostly white,
They come and slowly drift away,
Lost in the monotone of night,
Like visions of a summer-day.They shift and slowly drift away
Like lovers’ lays that wax and wane,
The visions of a summer-day
Whose dreams we ne’er will dream again.Like lovers’ lays wax and wane
The star dawn shifts from sail to sail,
Like dreams we ne’er will dream again;
The sea-mews follow on their trail.The star dawn shifts from sail to sail,
As they drift to the dim unknown,
The sea-mews follow on their trail
In quest of some dreamland zone.In quest of some far dreamland zone,
Of some far silent sea-swept land,
They are lost in the dim unknown,
Where waves fade on jeweled sand
And dreams of night fall soft and gray,
Like some lost hope of yesterday. -

I only ever went to "EFY Express", essentially a one-day condensed version. It was pretty great. It was also the first time I danced with a girl, so there's that. Hello! Happy to have you both. -
Having a Bad Day?: Get 'yer Hugs here!!

Hugbots aren't mean either! Here, I'll mail you one. *mails* (It's also good at listening if hugging isn't your jam.) -

I don't know where you got these, but I gotta say, thrift shop records are a goldmine if you're patient! I've found some of my favorites there. -
@CalanoCorvus Heyyy! One day I might see the original, but I'm not in any hurry--again, I'm beyond impressed how they managed to convey the weight of the previous movie's events even without that context. (Also, I tend to think of myself as only one step above a lurker...am I really enough of a presence to warrant that kind of response? I'm flattered. )

Three things:
- If you haven't heard Tim Foust or Geoff Castellucci's voices yet...you should fix that.
- We watched the best version of Pirates of Penzance last night (Smith, Ronstadt, Kline, Lansbury). Everyone in that show is an idiot and I love it.
- Reese's Puffs.
...okay fine, I'll elaborate: I about died of laughter last night after my mom asked why I was carrying around a box of said cereal. I was just going to ask my sister if she wanted any before I finished them off, but I'd just watched that stupid meme and something about her tone of voice did me in. I couldn't breathe.
I found it pretty compelling and easy to get into, though that may have been due in part to my already knowing the premise and having much more knowledgable fans with me.
