Oooooh do you think gnomes would have their own language/dialect??

Short answer: Yes. Technically.

Long answer: I have. Feelings. About how language is treated in fantasy. Like “this race has their Own language” despite living in vastly different areas of the same world. Like. Humans having their Own language. Elves having their Own language. Elves, orcs, etc etc. Its not Bad but its definitely like A Thing that pokes at my sides a little lol.

Humans have hundreds of spoken and visual languages! Id like to imagine that in a world with other races, they would have their own variety of spoken language 😊 So yes; Gus does speak in his own native tongue. And he has absolutely badmouthed someone who got on his nerves without them realizing it lol

Allow me, if you will, a moment to go absolutely rabid over your blog and everything that goes on here. I’ve always loved history but the USA hardly likes teaching anything that isn’t American History. I’ve forgotten how much I love WORLD history, specifically the rise and fall of empires.

I’ve been smothering myself in your posts and I love it ALL. JC, Pompey, Crassus, Sulla, Octavian, Antony, Cassius, and Brutus. Wow what a mood. You don’t miss on your references or your modern AU’s and I’m over here like- I’m trying to buy whatever web comic you put out, book you write, etc.

Also, if you’d be so kind to list some material with like themes to start breaking into these topics. Preferably materials in English or translated materials.

HELL YEAH LET'S GO

if you really want to start on the ground floor for breaking into something, I'd recommend my personal favorite approach which is picking the figure that's most interesting to you, reading through plutarch's biography on them (free! online! in english!) and then putting their name through a jstor search and reading whatever sounds fun.

other than that, the primary theme I've been wandering around in lately, so these are the materials I've been really enjoyed related to that:

The Deaths of the Republic: Imagery of the Body Politic in Ciceronian Rome, Brian Walters

The Game of Death in Ancient Rome: Arena Sport and Political Suicide, Paul Plass

Ideology in Cold Blood: A Reading of Lucan's Civil War, Shadi Bartsch

Statius and Virgil: The Thebaid and the Reinterpretation of the Aeneid, Randall T. Ganiban

Rome, Blood & Power, Gareth C Sampson

I also have a comparatives tag where I play connect the dots with texts that made my brain go brrr

#also thank u 💓 #ive been obsessed with history and historical non fiction since i was like. five. and my dad noticed that i liked watching documentaries #on pbs lmao #i lucked out: all of my history teachers through highschool were FANTASTIC but my sister's grasp on history #(w/ different teachers) is way worse and she was like. all honors and got a wicked scholarship to a very nice college #idk where im going with that. something about how history is taught with such inconsistency makes me feel :| #i feel passionately abt the subject so i want other people to love it too aughghhhhh #and the way history is taught in schools unless you get a good teacher. is not conducive to this. its a TRAGEDY #thinking about how my best favorite man mabini. ppl not knowing that polio was what caused paralysis in his legs #back when heneral luna came out.

Mike trying to rationalize why Henry is okay with his dad hurting him, even when Michael isn't okay with him hurting his siblings. Even when nobody is okay with Michael hurting his siblings.

It wasn't as bad, right? He never laid a finger on them. They were only words.

Maybe it's because Mike is older. This bleeds into his protests, his haphazard attempts to protect. "Please, he's only six." Don't hurt him. Don't hurt him the way that you hurt me.

William finds this entertaining. He makes note of these things, wonders if he'd respond differently if William tried something else.

Maybe it's because William is an adult. He learns not to trust anyone older than him, but to let them do whatever they want. He learns to freeze; to shut down.

This makes him an easy target later on.

Is it because Michael deserves it? After Evan dies, he's sure that must be it. Willian knew what he was, and he only gave him what he already had coming. Michael was a murderer, after all. He deserved everything anyone might do to him.

It was his own fault.

#really hinting at the plot point in ch 4 of blips here #i kind of talk around it bc people are cagier w that subject than physical abuse #but it's very important to me that you know it happened as a culmination of mike's conditioning #to just shut down and let people do whatever they want #it 100% wouldn't have happened without william being the way that he was. even though he wasn't present #and wouldn't be likely to do something of that nature himself #it's also related to michael growing up with a well meaning friend who doesn't respect his boundaries #as sort of a cautionary tale to actually teach kids these things #nobody commented on my themes yet so im just fucking telling you all lmao #fnaf #michael afton #william afton #character study #sort of #character meta #also sort of #mike's actual writing #cw abuse #implied csa #with the easy target line #and the ending line

me when im obsessed with dead singers from 50 (well... mostly 70-120) years ago and im heartbroken to know i'll never see them on stage... never hear them breathe, never see them sweat, never even touch the hem of their garment...

it really is enough to drive a person mad...

#this is so funny because this is the one vaguepost that i wholeheartedly 100% agree with skdhsjshsjdhsn #like yeah!! it does indeed pain me that the level of operatic singing has so drastically decreased over the last 50 years! #that top operatic stars of today are all either nasal or wobbly or knödely or completely inaudible without microphones #but some of yall are just not ready for this conversation. example a #anyway. as many have said before. its kinda easier to understand how some people cant appreciate certain operas #if they never heard them sung well lol #sorry im out of blood today. i know this is a very uncomfortable subject for many but. #you can actually judge someone's singing in a pretty objective way. there are nuances of course. but from a technical point of view #it really is pretty simple #(also its not like i dont enjoy *some* modern singers lol have you SEEN my kwiecień posting???? lmao #hell. there are even some modern singers i have a soft spot who i KNOW sing... Not Very Well. but i enjoy them lol #not many ofc but. yknow) #also 50 years ago would be the 1970s if im doing my maths correctly and. that is really the point in opera history #when it all started going downhill (sadly partly because of one of my all time favourite singers' influence... but thats a different story) #anyway. remember when luis tetrazzini said that the future generations of singers will be The Best singers in history #because they'll have access to all those recordings of The Greats Of The Past that they'll be able to listen to and learn from? #lmao queen you were right about so many things but that was tragically not one of them </3 #opera tag #yes im stirring the pot of boiling liquid shit and putting this post gently into the main tag #*luisA tetrazzini ofc #lol and lmao im out FOR blood* shdgsjsghs

sometimes I wish I was a more interesting + charismatic person just so I could keep conversations going bc I like sharing space with other ppl but they routinely lose all interest and leave once I run out of things to say/start talking abt things that don't concern them :-(

#and boy do I run out of things to say so fast when I'm talking to friends who ik dont give a fuck abt any of my interests... #theres only so much i can make small talk or ask them questions abt their own interests/lives yknow. man #it just makes me feel like im constantly competing with smth else for other ppls attention all the time + constantly losing #eg. when i say smth + my flatmate reaches for her headphones a little dark souls banner appears across my vision like INTERACTION FAILED #and i can feel my rsd + insecurities praying on it like the more i feel this way the more it prophetically fulfils itself #by making me less willing to try and take up space so i become a smaller and smaller person around others #it frustrates me a lot sometimes and i dont rly have the will rn to undo that and force myself to take up more space regardless #ik this sounds like a water is wet complaint like oh nooo woe is me people get bored of me when i talk abt boring things (!!) #but when im spending time w ppl i like i enjoy listening to them talk even if im not interested in the subject bc its Them talking #and if they care abt smth then its worth hearing abt!! to me anyway. but it rly feels like no one reciprocates that idk #oh well not that it matters. at least i like the shit im into so i can talk to myself abt it in my head or on this site lmao #and i like myself as a person even if other people dont so theres always that. ur no 1 should always be urself <3 #voicing this makes me feel so stupid + embarrassed urgh. i hate being anxious abt dumb shit i hate being the sort of person who worries #that their friends privately dislike/just tolerate them or whatever bc id never want a friend to worry abt whether i thought that abt them #and im not naturally a very insecure person!! i think im just feeling particularly vulnerable atm bc of the season + jobhunting so long #+ the fact im dissatisfied with my current social life + still feel very wobbly from not having other ppl i can trust or rely on etcetcetc #and thats just bleeding into other areas. and it sucks a lot. but theres nothing to be done abt it rn bc im not going to communicate it #to other ppl bc im not pathetic enough to make my anxieties someone elses problem + beg for pity attention im too proud for that 👍 #anyway. gonna play some noita + then i rly need to work out today bc thats probs part of why im feeling so shite #if ur reading this ignore me im just venting itll pass. i hope youre having a nice day :^) #.vent #.diaries

Why. Are y’all adding that you’re white in that big popular rap post. Just shut the fuck up stop making disclaimers like you’re afraid of black tumblr users just fucking talking. Like instead of saying “wow my fellow white people we have to try harder” or “I mean im white but I love rap!” or variations of those like. Either don’t say anything or don’t disclaim it makes you look like you’re actively trying not to sound racist which makes you sound like a little baby OR it makes you sound like you’re taking this chance to flagellate about how sorry you are like. Just fucking change your behavior without expecting a pat on the back

#meows #I’m begging you to just be normal #and the people trying to say they hate rap as a monolith bc they’re autistic #idk man I’m embarrassed for you it’s putting me in pain to read your tags #sometimes it’s better to say nothing and take an internal note. #rather than waiting for black people to congratulate you for listening to one rap song #or if you don’t like it bc you’re autistic or whatever like. just don’t talk #ik im white lmao I’m not making this rebloggable or anything I’m venting #(not the same bc I’m doing it on my own post and not on a big popular post on the subject. it’s so easy)

when you really want to talk to someone about something that you find fun and exciting and interesting, but you feel like you're being the most obnoxious person alive.....even if they're nice about it.

#i ventured into a twitch chat fkr the first time in idk a couple years and had to hold back talking about one subject too long #i did bring it back when the topic changed once and apologized but we talked about it a little again #nut when it changed the second time i didnt try to bring it back. but i wanted to talk about it more 😭 im notoriously bad at twitch chat #so i tried to behave and not say too many things. tried to drop a couple jokes. tried to figure out how to be likable 🥲 #its one of those times where lee newds sociao interaction after isolating for over 2 months and not talking to anyone D; #but people are so hard and im too autistic to do any of it right no matter how hard i try #actually i realized the harder i try the worse it gets lmao so i need to figure out how to be likable but aloof i think 🤔 #do i have a personality for that? can ine of the weirdos in this brain act right fbhdnddnjd #lee rambles #so many typos in these tags. need to sleep. need to get up in 5 hours D:

[asteralien]

you know the personality type thing was overdone and annoying but at least when we had mbti stuff, y’all understood that people having vastly different emotional reactions to things was normal and okay and good, instead of acting like we all have to be happy whimsical hope-drenched silly little bunnies all the time or else we’re not good people.

#like not to be an intj or anything lmao but— #actually it’s very very frustrating to be in a social culture that’s once again becoming very ‘positive happy people are good people!!!’ #i spent a long time thinking i was broken and subhuman because I couldn’t be Happy the way other people were #im not keen to welcome that alienation back into my life tbh. and I’d rather not subject more vulnerable kids to it either #because that shit is poison in the system that takes years or decades to air out #I mean I haven’t shaken it yet. it’s really really hard. it grows deep roots #im not saying bring back mbti or enneagram or whatever #I’m just saying. people act like personality is morality and it’s very much not. #aster chat #you don’t have to crush your personality into a socially acceptable shape to be a moral person #please refer back to the comic about the emo goblin guy who looks depressed and makes depressing art #and then it reveals that that heavy shit he’s making is actually saving the people #that all the colorful pretty hot air balloons and cheery art can’t reach

White person: you think you know more than me when it comes to race and treat me like my opinion doesnt matter

Me:

#its bc white people get this idea that once theyre an ‘ally’ their opinion is like super valuable and can overwrite the voices of poc #with a bonus side effect of them thinking that bc theyre more ‘articulate’ and ‘knowledgable’ about certain topics #they have a right to speak on them moreso than a poc #im sorry i dont care if you think a poc is dumb or wouldnt be able to explain redlining as well as you #dont treat them like they dont know these things exist #and i think its funny when they start thinking theyre more in tune with your culture than you are low key #like bc you read black twitter you think you are closer to black culture than like an actual black person #and listen some people may not be as in tune with their culture as they could be but its absolutely foul to discredit their belonging #or base it off of how much you expose yourself to #you are not black. did not grow up black. are not still black. you dont get to tell a black person what it means to be black #thats super fucking weird… like you think youre the guardian of the black race and if someone dont meet your standards #theyre not black enough. like hoowww do you not see the problem with policing blackness as a whole ass entire fucking white person #but ok im angry and im gonna shut up lmao #like ive realized that being black does not look like 1 thing and im sure as fuck not gonna let some yt tell me im not my literal race… #leave the subject matter of what it is to be black to actual black people fucking weirdos

Funniest vague ive seen about me so far is the person who was mad I as a jew wasnt mad about the same performative bs they, goyim, were but since im jewish they cant make a callout post about me and theyre absolutely seething that i have a semi popular text post around rn

#im a naughty lil jew who doesnt act the way they were told we’re supposed to act #almost like we’re all individual people with individual beliefs #who have thunked #the reason they dislike me btw is because i didnt condemn a friend of mine who rted a meme about clip studio paint #that used the trad wife time machine whatever format #‘thank you for being perfect’ ‘im a free art program’ or something #there was a post going around awhile back that talked about that particular meme formats 4chan origins #because of that some people are jncomfortable with its uses #i personally dont care so long as the subject matter isnt bigoted #co opting shitty memes is good akshully in my personal opinion #but i expressed to them when they brought it up that its true some people may be uncomfy with it and thats fine #then they got mad lmao

[fellhellion]

in this weird place w Peter/Miguel where it literally just didn't interest me until I read the comics and nah i'm like ah. the narrative foils. the queer lens u can apply to elements of miguel's origin story. the fact i just really like their little friendship in the film. hm. may write something for it. maybe. i am placing my interpretation of that dynamic under my little microscope.

#the majority of fan content for it just. isnt really for me even tho its funny and obv something people are having a lot of fun w #partially because a lot of fics ive tried to read for i have like. critical difference of opinion when it comes to miguel characterisation #and partially because i think like. miguel is so hot and people want to fuck him just. isnt overly funny to me as a joke and its a joke LOT #of people are making simultaneously so its just not something personally doing anything for me (purely in a subjective sense) #which isnt like. anyones fault lmao its just how i personally react to it. #tunes talks spiderverse #anyways miguel congrats ur going to have a sexuality revelation in 30s ig <3 #i swear i do NOT mean to be an an asshole or pretentious w this im just fkjsdhfjk the popular takes on the ship just arent for me personall #but im in the v funny space of going OH yeah i could write this in a way that would be interesting for me
