#and i forgot the english term

[i-bring-crack]

"None of these thoughts are in the bible"-- WRONG! All of those thoughts ARE in the bible, they were just not the ones you were supposed to listen to-

#bible studies with me at noon #i present you todays topic #ive never been so horrified before in my life #those thoughts still arent there? thats okay ill find the dlc apocrypha for you #schrodingers christianity bc the more i question everything the more I need jesus in my life #amen happy soon to be easter rn we in the Semana Santa #and i forgot the english term #christian lore #ynot #christian memes #christianity #catholism

Some people will see kabumisu and forget that I Will by Mitski is a song that exists. And they treat their dynamic as. Something foreign and inherently harmful . Hn.

#sorry i had to reference Mother for a bit #its just like brooo why are you trying to convince me your ship is morally superior to mine .. were just vibing like #well #im not Just Vibing but ykwim #kabumisu #okay ill stop (erm. forgot the english term for it) pero dili na ko maglibak swear #:p

Holy cow.

TIL the word for how a word or a name is pronounced is written as "pronunciation". I really thought it was "pronounciation".

Pro-Nun. Well I love Arknights Specter.

That reminds me some years ago I was absolutely bamboozled by "similar" & "available", I thought those were written as "similiar" & "avaible" .

My life is a lie.. all this from being curious on how to pronounce "Berrien County Jail".

#English struggle #i'm in shock #This is so unreal #It can't be real #Idk man #Til #Tbf I very rarely use those words #Trying to justify the ignorance lol #What is grammar btw I try to not use “but” in front of a sentence but actually I don't care that much #And I keep using abbreviation on is am are despite the formal sentences because of muscle memory #I also can't stick to one term between “human race” and “humanity” despite it's the same word in JP because idk #I'm sincerely sorry for the translation quality in this blog but you know what I like doing this for no good reason #The good ol' tag rambles that I never experienced b4 because this is my first Tumblr account actually #I'm suffering from something that I want to know too but psychiatrists don't exist in my country #But it's most likely laziness #I'm not making masterlists immediately and prev all next links are also due to laziness #I forgot to say that I'm not planning to ruin Fennesz reputation believe me he's still the whole cinnamon roll bakery & sweet guy & like to #Wow so only 140 characters for a tag

Pensaba que era aprender español taaaaan bien esta semana

me atropelló un carro

#the thing that happened #The knowing literally any Spanish part of my brain right on the list of what has gooooone #I can’t believe how much I forgot that I learned #All the language processing bits and bobs my ability to write in English is wonky atm #I am not sure how this next term ar uni will go lads I am not sure

If the only thing you know about a trans person is their pronouns and you still "accidentally" misgender them. It's not an accident. You're just a transphobe.

#Transphobia #Misgendering #I talk about my betrothed in exclusively gender neutral terms and these mfs mysteriously keep “forgetting” that theyre not she/her #Surely that doesnt have anything to do with the idea that all nonbinary people are just confused women? #0 native English speakers have ever mistakenly forgot to use they/them when they genuinely dont think they know the persons “real” gender #People dont even realize that they are incredibly used to using singular they all of the time

i have been. formally studying spanish. for a significant amount of time. taking it seriously. for approximately 4 years now. i have been formally studying italian for approximately two hours. this morning. and today i was told by my new spanish teacher that i have an italian accent in spanish

#my accent is already fucked up in english. ok #but no the reason was i had been speaking italian for two hours and had only an hour break before going into spanish #so my brain hadnt quite switched out yet. but still #i also spend a lot more time with italian on balance in terms of immersion and stuff #now time to switch languages again but luckily. i have spoken arabic once in my life. so #neon has thoughts #it WAS very funny for me #update. in my confusion forgot a vaguely important word. oops

(to answer your tags) in english 'killer whale' is just a colloquial term they are in a more official context called 'orcas' and the term 'killer whale' became popular due to sailors watching orcas hunt whales while out sailing and calling them 'whale killers'

and that's so mean! like can't a woman do anything? does she need to be called a killer?🙄

#thank you anon i actually forgot that it's a colloquial term and not an official one alajdjdjsjd haha #bc i always see it used regarding orcas in english! #and names are confusing sometimes #also. as me and my friends said one time 'orcas have layers'. let them kill😐 #i'm weirdly fond of orcas can you tell alskxhsjjxjd #ask #agnes talking

"the magnus protocol had a whole ARG beforehand? what?"

yes! it did!

"oh so I need to have participated in this whole big thing to actually understand the podcast?"

not at all! from the official post-mortem put out by RQ, "while the ARG was not something that was necessary to participate in to understand the magnus protocol, it was designed to contain a wealth of background story and context that would enrich any player's listening experience."

"a wealth of background context that would enrich my listening experience 👀👀👀 how can I learn about this?"

SO glad you asked. sadly, many of the materials made for the arg have been taken down since the game ended 😔 (ex., the official OIAR, magnus institute, and bonzoland websites. (edit ii: I found partial wayback machine captures! see below) though @strangehauntsuk is still up!), so we're a bit low on primary sources, but in terms of learning about what happened:

for a starting point, I would really recommend this video by @pinkelotjeart

it's super accessible, it was made in real time as the game progressed and follows the solving and revelation of clues as they happened, it hits all the major points of the mystery and moments of community insanity while eliding some of the nitty gritty puzzle grinding, 10/10 would recommend.

here's the official summary put out by RQ, and I'd recommend reading through this once you've already gotten a basic handle on the flow of the story and the basic connections between major clues and events. it's got some fun behind-the-scenes info and lays out the thought process behind the puzzles in simple terms

here's the full masterdoc of all puzzles and resolutions put together in the statement remains discord server. masterdoc my absolute BELOVED, masterdoc my bethrothed, masterdoc my soul mate. I'd recommend this as a second port of call after the above video as it either contains all details about the puzzles or links to other expanded docs that do.

here's the narrative summary doc that lays out all the plot and lore discovered in three pages of plain prose. if you just want to get to the good bits as fast as you can and get blasted directly in the face by contextless lore bombs, this is the doc for you. if you don't want to start with the video, I'd say this is another good entry point.

once you've got the lay of the land, some of the game materials that I found particularly interesting include:

the in-universe east germany expat usenet forum, with all content translated into english. most of it is irrelevant space filler with occasional extremely sus lore, but I still found it fun to read through. love to soak in some fictional forum drama.

chdb.xlsx, the spreadsheet of the names of all the children the protocol 'verse magnus institute was studying/experimenting on. EDIT: here is a version of the sheet without any annotations and with all of the names in their original order, kudos to @theboombutton for catching that the commonly shared copy had the order swapped around.

klaus.xls, a (very corrupted) spreadsheet with what looks like the classifications of a bunch of old OIAR cases.

EDIT: have a few more saved materials from the game that I forgot to include.

an in-universe audio ad to apply to the OIAR that ran before archives episodes and kicked off the whole game.

an in-universe video ad to apply to the OIAR, this one is an official upload that's still up from the game itself. you can subscribe to the OIAR's official youtube channel today, if you so chose.

the robo-voicemail greeting from the OIAR's phone line.

EDIT II:

here is a wayback machine capture of the OIAR's official website.

here is a wayback machine capture of the bonzoland website.

(pretty sure both of the above captures just archived the home pages, though I haven't tried clicking all of the links. I'd say they're still worth looking at, the home pages give a good window into the vibes.)

once you start poking around in these documents, you'll find a bunch of links to others with further information, the materials I've included here just contain what I feel to be the most relevant details to getting a broad feel for the whole game. once again, huge shout out to the statement remains server, I was barely in there as the ARG was in progress and only ducked my head in every so often to find links like these. true mvps of the fandom.

#gonna pin this for a bit because every day I get 2-5 asks saying 'there was an arg? how do I learn about it?' #tmagp #video #marina marvels at life

anyway the elections ended exactly how it could possibly have ended idk what I expected honestly

#go to sleep fwends we have learned a lesson today #and the lesson is we need to redraw those constituencies #theres a term for that i forgot #im an english major not a political science student #daisy talks #prn 15
