If one of your mutuals starts reblogging/posting for a fandom you aren't in or dislike, what do you do?

It doesn't matter to me/I do nothing

I'll block the tags they commonly re/post

I'll unfollow, but only if they post really frequently

I'll unfollow, but will refollow later if/when they slow down posting

I'll unfollow, but only if the media/fandom is really toxic/problematic/etc

I'll unfollow, and that's that

This has never happened to me

#I block tags until they start either not tagging and posting an amount that annoys me #or the subject of their reblogs is something I hate

NO ONE knows how to use thou/thee/thy/thine and i need to see that change if ur going to keep making “talking like a medieval peasant” jokes. /lh

They play the same roles as I/me/my/mine. In modern english, we use “you” for both the subject and the direct object/object of preposition/etc, so it’s difficult to compare “thou” to “you”.

So the trick is this: if you are trying to turn something Olde, first turn every “you” into first-person and then replace it like so:

“I” →  “thou”

“Me” →  “thee”

“My” →  “thy”

“Mine” →  “thine”

Let’s suppose we had the sentences “You have a cow. He gave it to you. It is your cow. The cow is yours”.

We could first imagine it in the first person-

“I have a cow. He gave it to me. It is my cow. The cow is mine”.

And then replace it-

“Thou hast a cow. He gave it to thee. It is thy cow. The cow is thine.”

#George Harrison translated into old English #thou thee thine

It’s a common misconception that Tallahassee (2002) by the Mountain Goats is a “divorce album.” It is in fact about the complete absence of divorce where there really ought to be one. The true Mountain Goats divorce album is actually Get Lonely (2006).

Fire Lord Zuko passing a law that forbids challenging anyone under the age of majority to Agni Kai

Fire Lord Zuko waiting until the day he reaches the age of majority to pass this law, lest anyone think he is a coward

(No one. Literally no one would have thought that, but it’s generally regarded as a very classy move regardless)
