Gien’s such a pain in the ass, you could sell him donkey hemorrhoid cream.

Scar: Yes, yes Gien. Am happy to be supporting of this.
But, why are you changing of minds now?
Gien: What are you talking about?
Scar: When I was asking of seeking assistance from the humans, you were opposed.
Gien: BAH! Why would I EVER say such a thing!
I have a celebration to return to, and I'll not have you souring my good mood with your fabrications. Good day.
Scar: ...Spirits strengthen my peacefulness.
Scar: That man is giving pains in backside in areas that have never known touching, yes?

Scar's voice collar can swap between english and tensei, but it has to be taken off first to do so, which is a pain in the neck to do.
Yes, Scar. Yes indeed.
I hate gaslighters. Beyond words how much I hate them.
But wait, what if he really thinks that because of Dr. Terrorhammer’s newly awakened mental echo powers?
My last ex was a MASSIVELY malignant manipulator and gaslighter.. would completely fabricate entire scenarios, of him doing downright criminal activities, and then deny ever having said/done those things when I confronted him or told anyone about it, calling me “delusional and making sh*t up”….. He even accused me, in front of my dad, of making up something that he had JUST said IN FRONT OF my dad. Then tried to gaslight my dad.
“I never said that, you’re delusional and making sh*t up!”
(dad) You just said it, right now, in front of my face.
“Oh, so you’re sticking up for her now??”
(dad) Sticking up’s got nothing to do with it, you literally JUST said that, right now!
“You’re both delusional!”
My mother. Raised by a narcissist. No wonder I used to be afraid I had an alternate personality when she insisted i had said and done stuff I didn’t remember (spoiler alert. she was lying).
My favorite example is she wanted me to be more feminine and made sure I got an American Girl doll for Xmas….insisting I had begged for it when I had done nothing of the sort.
My grandmother who raised me was one. To the point I am super defensive when you tell me you didn’t think something happened. Even if it’s clear you yourself just don’t remember it, I will jump down your throat and yell.
One of my brothers does that constantly and to such a degree that he may actually be delusional. If you can catch him out (usually by rewording things to make what he said sound good) he’ll actually admit that he did say that part but when you point out the obvious contradiction he’ll say that you somehow misunderstood.
So yeah there’s no winning.
Its possible Gien believes his own hype.
Scar: Are you really so much believing of own hype?
Gien: I AM THE HYPE!
Someone needs to hand scar a human thesaurus.
Also why do I hear him as having Russian/Ukrainian accent in my head?
The way the dialog is translated by the device, it does a good job with nouns, but doesn’t always work well with the tenses of the verbs. Is being Lots of extraneous helper verbs inserted, and Really it doesn’t handle instances where we would use a contraction well at all.
What is that? The subjunctive? Plueperfect? When one is projecting a Possible future action?
A conditional future perfect tense?
Poor engineering on the designer’s part, the Controls should be Easily accessible. If it doesn’t interfere with production.
Other side is Gien is such a politician. Gah! Two faced, lying, animated eel-dinner!
When is the Lottery? Imma go gather my stones and rocks.
Hmm. Gien is not the smartest pencil in the box, indeed. If Scar’s translator is not easily switched from English to Tensei, why was it set on English in the first place? Only Todd and perhaps Agent Brown (depending on the depth of his knowledge of the Sarnothi language) would need it set to English and doing so would prevent Scar from communicating with the locals who may not yet speak English. Gien is so self-absorbed he didn’t catch that when Scar told him he was not there to talk to Todd.
Todd can’t speak Sarnothi, and is a guest. In an emergency, it would be REALLY hard to switch gears… like, say, if another eel got rowdy. It could be justifiable.
Or maybe he adjusted it when he saw Todd approach, and Gien hasn’t given him time to swap it.
I think the first one is more likely, since he did the same thing when they first visited. That, and this is his voice box. It’s probably not something easy to just take on and off easily. He probably has to put that bubble he put around Todd when his helmet shattered around himself to switch. No matter the water, if you got a hole in your neck, getting water in is a bad idea. Their gills are on their sides, so I image he could die from getting water down his throat.
Gien need a high five…
in the face…
with a chair…
Nobody likes Gien, except maybe Gien.
It took me until middle of the night insomnia to understand what the title PITA meant.
Just thought I’d share to hopefully amuse someone as much as I am amused.
