[Kellen Goff: CARNAGE🩸😈 🔜 San Japan @kellengoff]

I've bracing for this one, but there could never be a bulwark high and strong enough to shelter my heart from this.

If I may take a moment to preface... As with us all, of all the worlds that captured my heart through childhood, there are a few whose influences have run deepest in me. Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Kids Next Door, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Marvel... Though those all still remain precious in my life to this day, two reign absolute. Ben 10 and Transformers.

So, needless to say, I had revered Peter Cullen's work since childhood.

I first properly met Peter in 2011, at a Botcon script reading panel for the new show, Transformers Prime. I was 16 then, in the thick of pursuing the dream of being a VA one day. I was chosen out of the audience to do Zombie-Con sounds and Bumblebee's beeps, and I showed the room what I could do. Peter was right behind me, reportedly beaming. You can't see his face, but you can see his proud leg at the end of this video:

I got to speak to him afterward. I'll keep his exact words to myself, but he expressed his relief that the future of voiceover was secure. One of the greatest days of my life already, and his words cemented it.

Later down the line in 2023, I got my first chance to be a guest of the Fan Expo tour of conventions, and I would discover he would be there as well. The reunion was very cathartic. I reminded him who I was and was greeted with the same beaming eyes he had given me 12 years prior when I told him I couldn't have made it to where I was without him. There were some tears on both ends. This picture below was taken shortly after. I got to meet his wife, Brandi, one of the sweetest, most genuine humans I've ever had the pleasure of talking to. We would become acquaintances of the road, catching up briefly when we could on the convention circuit.

And then my run with Fan Expo ended, and I could sadly only read about him. I knew he was off the road for a bit. I didn't want to fear the worst. I didn't want to think about it. But wish as we might, deserving as one may be to transcend the great equalizer, not one thing in this reality is built to last forever.

Peter was all a true Christian should be. He was kind, welcoming to all, charitable, and lifted others up. He embodied Optimus so well beyond his voice, because he more than lived up to the example his inspiration, his brother, had set for him. He, too, was a hero. To so many.

And "icon" doesn't do this enigma of an entertainer justice. There are a scant, precious few in the history of the voiceover world that have stayed with a character in the minds, bodies, and souls of their fans so indelibly like Peter with Optimus Prime. His virtuous talent, his resonant boom, and his sheer sagacity with a monologue inspired thousands. He was of the greatest to pave the road for those after him to do the same with their own purposes. Indeed he saw Optimus as his purpose, and our love, God's love, as his reward.

Rest in peace, Mr. Peter Cullen. You've far beyond earned your seat in the sky.

Though your Spark joins the Well, your legacy is secure, and now we remain to follow your example. Your lessons of how to make the most of blessings will live on. Your soul-kindling voice will reverberate, always.

'Til all are one.

Varesa • Strength in Serenity
Stalwart Warrior and Orchard Owner from the Collective of Plenty #GenshinImpact #Varesa

When discussing the Collective of Plenty's tribespeople, the first instinct of the Natlanese is to praise their "universal fitness," followed by a fond recollection of sweet fruits and fresh vegetables. Strength and abundance are the time-honored calling card of this tribe, with the most eye-catching pattern on that card coming from none other than Varesa's orchard—
As the cheerful call "Fresh produce from Varesa's!" rings out from the easternmost Children of Echoes to the Flower-Feather Clan in the far north, every tribesperson of every tribe can be sure that they shall enjoy healthy, all-natural, and delicious crops in the next few days to come. Her fruits are always intoxicatingly sweet, and her vegetables smack of rich, crisp petrichor — the taste of freshly rained-upon grassland bathed in sunlight. Over time, people have started erupting in heartsome laughter whenever they espy Varesa from afar, knowing a wonderful feast to be close at hand...
In the children's legends, a certain "Masked Hero" shall descend whenever evil beings and monsters run amok, wreathed in lightning. Charging at her foes with three times the ferocity of a Tatankasaurus, she delivers kicks as explosive as pyroclastic fallout, sending all the bad guys flying! The hero's battle cry when she executes her finishing move has become a popular catchphrase among the children, and the incredible swiftness of her departure is seen as the benchmark for "heroic speed"...
Astute observers would discover that the areas where the "Masked Hero" metes out justice overlap neatly with the Collective of Plenty's trade routes.
As was their duty, the Patrol Team approached their colleague, Varesa, asking if she had encountered such an individual, to which Varesa responded while scratching her head in bewilderment:
"Umm... That sounds a lot like me, though?"
At the unanimous nods of her team members, Varesa, who only just realized what they meant, suddenly felt shy. She vigorously shook her head, saying:
"I'll try harder next time — send the bad guys packing before anyone can even see them! But for now... I'm going to get something to eat first!"

Never thought I’d have a “favourite smile” in media but here we are.

Think it’s an extremely rare case to say a character has existed for over 20 years without a genuine smile & finally getting it felt like 100000 trucks hitting
