AWFUL REALIZATION ABOUT THAT LAST POST, CHAT.
Sorry Tumblr I've been busy
Spoilers for DRV3!
This idea was plaguing my brain since I heard this song!
THE TREATY PRINCIPLES BILL IS BEING PRESENTED TO THE HOUSE TOMORROW!!!!!!!
EDIT: Here's a link with more info on the Bill and it's contents and breaches!
This matters to EVERYONE in our country! If you're Māori this is about our LITERAL existence, if you're Pākehā, tauiwi, tangata Tiriti this concerns you because Tiriti is what gives you the privilege of existing on this whenua! The Waitangi Tribunal has already said this Bill will be the biggest Waitangi breach ever. YOU have a responsibility to do something.
ACT, our coalition government, and the Ministry of Justice have been intentionally keeping this bill under the wraps. Mad mihi to the MoJ analyst who leaked that draft though (I'm sure they got sacked if not massive repercussions).
What we know so far is that Te Pāti Māori, Green Party, and Labour WILL NOT be voting for this and that ACT, NZ First, and National WILL be voting for this tomorrow. NZ First and National have said that they WILL NOT support this Bill after its first reading so it will go to Select Committee and then die at first reading.
National and NZ First have said they'll only support this Bill to first reading (thankfully) but there is always the chance of closed door promises & favours and we still need to advocate for this disgusting bill to die.
I'll post more about submissions when they open for Select Committee but I'm happy to help answer questions or help with that and the process.
But the racist idiots to email and drill in that you DO NOT want this Bill are...
ACT MPs
1. David Seymour (Email: David.Seymour@parliament.govt.nz ) (the one bigoted brain cell behind this bill)
2. Brooke Van Velden (Brooke.Vanvelden@parliament.govt.nz)
3. Nicole McKee (Nicole.McKee@parliament.govt.z)
4. Todd Stephenson (Todd.Stephenson@parliament.govt.nz)
5. Andrew Hoggard (Andrew.Hoggard@parliament.govt.nz)
6. Karen Chhour (Karen.Chhour@parliament.govt.nz)
7. Mark Cameron (Mark.Cameron@parliament.govt.nz)
8. Simon Court (Simon.Court@parliament.govt.nz)
9. Parmjeet Parmat (Parmjeet.Parmat@parliament.govt.nz)
10. Laura Trask (Laura.Trask@parliament.govt.nz)
11. Cameron Luxton (Cameron.Luxton@parliament.govt.nz)
AND
- Prime Minister Christopher Luxon (Christopher.Luxon@parliament.govt.nz)
- Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters (Winston.Peters@parliament.govt.nz)
If you're able to participate with any part of the hīkoi please do and please be safe!!!!

sorry im going half mad as a desi but like. the fact that heathcliff is Not Fucking White is very important to the story actually! he's treated as subhuman for having brown skin and its the main if not only reason he was immeidtaley abused by his stepfamily! hes DESCRIBED differently from the white characters too! what the fuck! he's so obviously like romani or indian or just. NOT WHITE YOU CANT JUST DO THAT. ITS 2024. THE RACISM HE SUFFERS IS NOT EVEN SUBTEXT
canon
okay so hear me out
edit: yeah those intersections were there before what are you talking about/s
Biggest mischaracterization people have about Stan and Ford is that Stan is the weird feral one and Ford is well put together.
Like? They are both massive weirdos, but one ran a successful business for 30 years, takes pretty decent care of two children for months, and showers regularly.
The other one fell into a situationship with a demon bc the demon called him a good boy, drank human blood just to see how it tasted, gave a child he barely knows a crossbow, and got banned from the library because he stank too bad.
Ford is "racoon with rabies" coded.
Since the post about differences in translation in regards to Kaito and Kokichi's relationship was unfortunately deleted, I've taken it upon myself to make my own for posterity's sake.
NISA: Geez… you're such a naive dude.
OG: 。。。ったく、テメーはピユアなやろうだな。/ …Geez, you're such a pure guy.
A pretty well-known change that makes Kaito sound more insulting then he does in the original. Kokichi's response was also altered not only in the text, but in the voice acting; in Japanese, he sounds uncharacteristically emotionless, rather than annoyed like in the dub.
NISA: Well, we come from different backgrounds. So for now, let's agree to disagree. No one's ever called me naive before. And from Kaito? Seriously?
OG: まあ、百田ちゃんとオレの話が合わないのわ最初あきらめているけど。。。 / Well, I'd already given up on seeing eye to eye with Momota-chan since the beginning… ピュアなんて言われてのわ初めてだよ。オレみたいに嘘つきがさ。/ But that's the first time someone's called a liar like me pure.
Kaito goes from telling Maki to let Kokichi go or he'll die, to telling Maki to let Kokichi go so she won't get executed:
NISA: Maki Roll, cut it out! You'll get killed if you don't!
OG: ハルマキ、もうやめろ!それ以上やったらマジで死ぬぞ!/ Harumaki, stop already! Any more than that and he'll seriously die!
Kaito's response to Maki saying he shouldn't have cooperated with Kokichi is translated to sound like he was pestered into it. In the original, it sounds like he's seriously reflecting on Kokichi's state of mind throughout the game.
NISA: It was kinda hard to ignore such an annoying guy. Geez… I wonder how far ahead he planned this evil scheme of his.
OG: 。。。あいつわそんあ易しいヤツじゃねーよ。/ …He wasn't that simple. まったく。。。どこからどこまでが計算だったんだろうな。あいつの悪巧みわよ。/ Man… I wonder how much of it he'd planned out. For that cunning scheme of his.
And of course, Kaito's final words on Kokichi were made to sound a lot harsher.
NISA: He was a lying sack of shit.
OG: 。。。あいつは筋金入りの嘘つきだったぜ。/ …He was a liar to the core.
