#warhammer 40k #wh40k #necrons #illuminor szeras #necron #shitpost #german speakers i am so sorry you had to read that with your eyes 😂 i also speak german i do know eszetts can't start words #originally this was just for fun but it seems there are quite a lot of ways wh40k fans pronounce this #native english speaking fans usually seem to stick to 's' #whereas in languages that actually use this digraph it would be s/ʂ/ʃ #but in korean translations 'sz' defaults to 'z' so it's definitely 'zeras (제라스)' and 'zarekh (자렉)' #and sometimes the 's' and 'z' are both present and pronounced like in japanese ('s-za-rekh';スザーレク) #(i personally use ʃ because it seems the logical compromise) #in lore terms i think all or most of those pronunciations were used among the necrontyr and there is not one 'canon' version #variety is the spice of life it's fine they're all good. well maybe not the last one but still 😂 #according to TDK the necrontyr didn't have a united language until szarekh came along so they must've had different dialects #i reckon that's why the silent king made his universal language. so people could pronounce his name how HE specifically wanted it #it's all becoming so clear now!!!! 😬

not meant as a direct call out to anyone but sicne it happened a few times in a row now

i dont ... like ... my work being tagged as 'zelink', i do not draw this ship, i have no problem with others shipping it but i personally cannot stand it (i love them as a brotp) and just because i put them both in a drawing when im doing some totk rewritten concepts it doesnt mean its meant as the ship :/

#ganondoodles talks #again im not trying to start discourse or whatever #i just dont like some of my work being tagged with a ship that isnt intented nor liked by me #i know some people use the ship name to also mean it as brotp kinda thing but usually it isnt #im one of those rare (?) people that desperately craves them as a brotp #but you can guess how many people see it as that lol #AGAIN im not trying to hate on anyone who likes it #i just dont #and it feels weird seeing that label on my art

tbh I feel like I should have known that Israel supporters would find my posts but I was still shocked anyways because I think at least my corner of Tumblr has all been pro-Palestine and I'm very proud of that

I only really found it by accident because I was trying to find my reblog with the links regarding the strikes and Bisan's call for a march, and I honestly was confused at first reading the comment.

So went to check further on the user:

I don't know. There's a bunch of other posts that they make that are just these short comments (and I would pull them up but really just go to their blog and check) -- some of which are articles that talk about the bombing that happened during Super Bowl and about the babies that had been left to starve and die in the hospital -- all with the same short, unproductive comment.

This is just more of a rant for me but I just can't understand how they don't see how much blood is being shed and not see what they are doing or feel guilt for it. I think of all the videos of children who were left amputated and orphaned because of Israel's attacks. I think of all the videos of mothers weeping over the corpses of their children or of the fathers who have lost their entire family. I think of all the surgeries that had to be done without amputations and how a lot of the hospitals are now out of commission -- places of safety that people would turn to if they were injured -- that now hardly have supplies. I think about the women who now have to use scraps of the tents they have now taken shelter in for their periods, the rise in infection rates in the area, and the starvation that Israel has left them in (the way that I've seen so many videos of children being so happy just to get a little bit of water or food). Or even recently, the little girl Hind and her phone call begging to be helped when she was trapped in a car with her dead family only to be found dead days later.

So tell me: who is the victim here?

Anyways, that being said: if you are neutral or pro-Israel, FUCK OFF. YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED ON MY BLOG.

It'll be Free Palestine. Forever.

Keep fighting, everyone.

Remember: Marches have been called for 17th- 20th. Protests and strikes 18th-25th.

#free palestine #palestine #ceasefire now #free gaza #gaza #it's more of a personal rant but i'm using it as an excuse to talk more about how dire the situation is #and also to tell people who are neutral or pro-israel to fuck off #i don't usually get pissed but it's just the fact that the person (who is now blocked) is just so. #idk. #its just short comments. like really? you think calling us names? calling us ignorant? thats productive? #what fucking nonsense #anyways #i don't give a shit if you get mad i'm not supporting. i'll always stand by the side of the victim and those who have lost their LIVES #because of some self-privileged regime. #you are not innocent. you are not the victim here.

Can you guys rb this or comment with how you pronounce “Goncharov”? I didn’t really think anything of it until one of my friends said it out loud and I was like huh? I think it’s interesting how people can have different pronunciations of a word or name they’ve never heard out loud in their head an not question it. For reference, I’m a native Russian speaker and I’ve always read it like gohn-CHArohv and my US American friend said GAHNCHA-rahv.

#goncharov #pronounciation #languages #russian language #today I remembered that tweet that’s like white people can’t pronounce POC names but they can say Tchaikovsky. and I kinda hate it because #no they can’t they cannot pronounce Tchaikovsky at all. please get a better example #English speakers of any race usually say chai-COUGH-skeee. that’s equivalent to white people calling jalapeños holla-PEEN-yo’s #also when I was in like middle school I took this summer cooking class thing and one day the teacher was quizzing us on food from around the #world and she asked us if we know where pillmini are from. nobody knew so she said they’re actually a type of Russian dumpling! my jaw #dropped when I realized she was trying to say пельмени (pyel’myeni) like ain’t no way #anyway how do you guys say Goncharov #not that there’s a right or wrong way to pronounce a fictional name unlike those real words in the other tags I’m just curious #I mean there’s a right way to pronounce a real person’s name if they’re actually called goncharov but I’m talking about the character

Man I hate my dad too but I don't think I could in seriousness refer to him as my sperm donor every time I talk about him. I Iove the power it gives to people to diminish the importance of their bio dads without even having to use the word dad but I personally do not need that visual for my own.

#txt #I think if I needed that distance I would just... call him his name?? #But I get how sperm donor is useful and gives context and idk an alternative like that #Just again. An uncomfortable term 2 me lol #Like I also think if I did use it I'd feel too unserious to finish the sentence #Ik sperm donors are a legit thing they're just usually not going to come up #SO often as much as people use the term to refer to an estranged parent #Which is why the discomfort of it is more prevalent to me in those cases #But again u do u I'm not gonna take that away from anyone it's just not for me

misc. daily life photos again .. for the every once in a while that I collect enough over a few months to actually make a photo set out of them lol

#Not sure how to caption every photo because you can unfortunately no longer caption photos so that text appears #under them when you view them. you can only add photo descriptions (which is more about literally describing #the image for people who can't see it or etc.). I wish they had the ability to have both captions and descriptions as both are useful for #different functions but it seems they took captions away entirely so. I guess I'll have to just number every picture and then talk about th #em in the tags or soemthing?? SO.. starting from top left to right -- #image 1: blackberries BUT also if you look close.. there's a tiny little bug on them lol #image 2: little water droplets on the back of a leaf that looked cool.. love anything with tiny water orbs #image 3&4: a spiky fuzzy sort of caterpillar outside on a yardwork glove.. small friend #image 5: THIS is such a bad slogan!!! what a lie!!! I personally would LOVE to have a sandwich party! in fact I would rather attend a #sandwich party than a pizza party because it would be fun to sample a wide variety of sandwich platters with all different meats and chee #& breads & ingredients & etc. !! now I just wish I could go to a cool sandwich sampling party w a full buffet of various mini sandwiches : #image 6: a chicken sandwich I made myself at home. with swiss cheese >:3 #image 7&8 : HHRGH it's a CAT and also bubble tea!!! AND is pastel teal! but alas.. it was like $20 and I didnt want to pay that but now #looking back on the photos slightly regret it lol. I think it's more because it's a brand name since the cat is some popular cat like hello #kitty or something. I didn't really notice that until later lol. I was just thinking 'OMG A CAT!'. I love all cats. brand or no brand lol #image 9: my single once a year trip to the drink place that has really nice garlic noodles. this time with beef? which was good too. And #the typical drink order of pina colada smoothie (i think it's coconut pineapple and strawberry?). plain matcha bubble tea (favorite and all #I ever get from anywhere). and a strawberry smoothie thing. I also usually get a coffee bubble tea but the place is like 50% of the time ou #of coffee for some reason so. hggh.. Which I know is like everyday food for some people but. I get food from places SO rarely that it's al #ays an event to take a picture about lol. Just cooking at home 99% of the time makes those trips for fancy food more special I guess #Id rather save the money/dont have much in the 1st place .& also am still a freak who hates using apps/dislikes shit like ubereats or etc. #I would literall NEVER get food delivered to my house under any circumstance unless I was dying alone inside on hospital bed rest with no #support system and no transportation and having food delivered to me was my last possible option. otherwise. if I want something so bad #I can just leave the house to physically pick it up myself without involving a middle man to the process and paying more. .. ANYWAY ghjgjh #image 10: BOY in BOX.. playing a new boardgame and he sits inside! rip to my big beautiful son. I miss him. #UpWords is a fun game though. It's similar to scrabble except you can stack the letters? interesting #Okay. that's all the pictures! Also for the record I do think it's a good thing to have image descriptions! I wasn't complaining in the sen #e that I wish they would get rid of them and bring captions back. more just I would like to have both preferrably. I liked being able to #caption things on the occasional post like this where the layout is better suited towards it. #photo diary

Asking because of your preservation site, do you know where I can find the Vulgate Quest?

Del saint graal?! I have scans of the first few books on my main site (been meaning to move my arthurian stuff to my own hosting). Iirc I think the entire thing has been uploaded online recently (~3 years) but I cant really say. The Vulgate Cycle is huge as fuck and scanning the entire thing is a commitment I dont currently have time for so Ive kinda dropped the ball on my own scan process.

#id give it a search w my usual places but I worked 8 hours today and do not have the brain power to check archives rn im so sorry #my main site has a link to my scans in a google drive tho #if u look online check wih the name ‘Vulgate Cycle’ or ‘Lancelot-Grail cycle’ those are the two names people use #ive never heard it called the vulgate quest hehe it made me pause #oh I know the whole things on archive in french if you can read that. LOLLL #sucks how hard to get yr hands on the english translation is #but theres only been like 1 big push to get it translated sadly

i know you put redacted for a reason but can you hint or something to what that means? I wasn’t here for whatever that was and I want to understand the history

The fact that people don’t automatically know what redacted is makes my heart flutter. The world is healing.

I’ll leave it at the phandom has treated the year 2012 as a dark age because it was (despite 2011 being very happy). There was a single catalyst that made everything go from good good good to oh fuck, this is terrible, dans trauma is triggered, 13 year olds are fetishizing, oh fuck, this ruined the happiness and comfort Dan finally found after all these years, why are 13 year olds so into gay sex, bad bad bad, oh fuck.

Redacted is that catalyst

#those who know is this a good way to put it😭? #honestly it isn’t that bad to talk about now that they’ve recovered obviously from it and people don’t go rabid like they used to #but idk I just feel shame to write the name😭 #what’s the religion I think it was ancient where they couldn’t write the name of their god so they had a symbol for it? #like you couldn’t write it because it was blasphemous but if you saw the symbol you knew what the writer was talking about #that’s the catalyst #it’s also usually called the video that shall not be named #i feel like that’s a 2018 term but i sometimes say it #you ever think about the fact that *redacted* was a real event and not something made up???? #like dnp’s whole story is a literal story #if you told me their story and then talked about *redacted* happening #i would’ve said it sounds too fake #like the chances the circumstances #the reason it was there was so specific and revealed was literally the only time it happened #like it’s fucking insane and we don’t talk about it because it was fucking awful but its existence is insane #asks

bruh all of this bs with fics being stolen is literally so frustrating. kpop stans are by far the worst fandom I’ve ever seen with stuff like this. the total lack of empathy, respect, and just general common courtesy is baffling to me.

is it really that hard to be kind to others? like, fr? is the appeal of fake internet fame that enticing? to abandon basic human morals? i know I’m seeing just a little too deep into it, but when it all boils down that’s what it’s about. fuck!!

literally !!! i honestly hadn't seen this before until i got into kpop (but honestly, i'm sure it probably happens in other fandoms too)

i honestly think we're all in our damn right to be pissed about it, because it's just so incredibly disrespectful... which is what i always tell these people when i reach out to them.

i genuinely believe it's a combination of: people within the fandom that simply don't care or don't grasp the concept of intellectual property, or overall how basic human decency works, plus the desperate need for approval of others at whatever cost (stealing), and the reader insert "genre" being seen as "less than"/not being taken seriously due to overall context around it. which is all just... really crappy lol

#people are writing novels over here #masterpieces even #FOR FREE #people are writing for fun #to entertain #keep the fandom alive #again FOR FREE #and some people genuinely believe that 'translating' those works or changing names makes it their own #crazy af #my favourite part about all this is how proud they usually are of their translations... they suck 99% of the time #which is even more insulting sdkjfhsjkdf #smileyerim #ask #quick edit take a shot every time i used the word honestly in this answer lol

Not sure how to insert a read more on mobile so this post about my personal experiences with transphobia and ableisn will be in the tags only 👍

#there was this teacher in middle school who I had for two days due to like a station rotation activity with my actual teacher #and when i was in middle school i mostly passed as a boy #but im afab and was just using she her pronouns. essentially presenting myself to the world as a gender nonconforming cis girl. #i was aware and comfortable with the fact that my gender was more fucked up than that but i wasnt out for a variety of reasons anyways #i digress #this teacher refused to call me by my name (the name my parents gave me. on my birth certificate) or use she/her pronouns for me #she called me he and it and told me i wasn't fooling anyone with this nonsense #multiple students - one of which consistently bullied me - corrected her on my gender and pronouns and she wouldn't listen #she even complained to my actual teacher in front of me and referred to me as 'that thing' #and this was humiliating and it was scary but more than anything it was exhausting bc by this point I was very accustomed #to being misgendered and dehumanized by my peers it didnt even strike me as particularly concerning that this person in authority was #so blatantly bent on this path #and to be fair i was dehumanized by other people in authority but usually for my autism not my gender. that was more my peers #anyways. i just found she died last August #and I'm like really struggling with feelings of guilt because I'm honestly a little glad she's dear #dead* #even though I only had those few interactions with her #anyways #i was in the same year as her grandaughter. and i know what its like to lose a family member you love #who is deeply flawed #and i know she was important to a lot of disadvantaged kids #whatever. it doesn't matter really how I feel. it's not like I have to talk to anybody who knew her ever again #tw ableism #tw transphobia #if you read all that you deserve some kind of award

i chatted with sb in another app just one time he wanted to know me he told me some information about himself and asked me the same questions but i said iwill tell him later bcz (i dont trust strangers easily +idont know if its real relationship or not +our countries are different)

he didnt answer my last msg but opens my profile and im still receiving notifications about that, ithink he is angry

i didnt tell him even whats my name (i think my name is my identity.. as i cant give my identity to other easily, icant tell others my name easily+i love my name so the one who knows my name or personal information i must be trust him and know him),, im not good with words or explaining my thoughts

plz give me adivce, how can i tell him that? or what should i do?

also please give me information about the importance of names to us

thank u

well first of all, it sounds like you know this already, but i just want to say that it's totally fine if you don't want to give out your name to a stranger. that is always okay. you don't owe anybody that information. your privacy is important. that is a very common boundary to have.

i think you can say something like "i don't use my real name online, but you can call me [some other name]." that tells him that it's not anything to do with him, it's just a general boundary you have.

you can also say "my privacy is important to me and i'm not comfortable sharing information that would identify me. i hope you'd still like to continue talking to me, but i understand if you'd rather end the conversation here." it sets out what he can expect from you more clearly.

if he pressures you, including if he says that he told you his info so you have to tell him yours - that's not fair of him. you didn't ask him for the information he gave you, and it's a pretty classic tactic for guilting people into being more vulnerable than they want to be.

it's also possible that he's not trying to guilt you into anything. maybe you just have different priorities for the relationship (he wants to be super open from the get-go, and you aren't comfortable with that). that might mean that you aren't compatible, which is too bad, but that's the way it goes sometimes and it's nobody's fault.

in the future, i would suggest not telling people that you will share information later if you're not sure that you're going to share it. that can confuse or mislead people. it's totally okay just to say upfront that you would like to keep your name and other identifying information private.

you may also want to think about your stance on privacy versus intimacy (i don't mean physical intimacy, just getting to know someone really well). there's a tradeoff there. are you looking for an intimate connection? if so, eventually you're going to have to trust them with some information (not necessarily your name, but something). it is hard for people to get to know you deeply if you don't tell them things about yourself. so just make sure that what you're looking for on the app is compatible with what you're willing to give. does that make sense?

i'm not sure i understand what you mean by "information about the importance of names to us" at the end of your ask (who is "us"?) - can you rephrase that?

#like i don't use my name on here and when people ask me for my name i just tell them that! #and so far everyone has been cool about it. if anyone was weird about it i would stop talking to them #it's possible me not sharing identifying info has kept some of the people i talk to on here from pursuing a closer relationship with me #either because they get a standoffish vibe from it or it feels lopsided because they've shared their name with me or some other reason #and that's fine! i totally get it. it is a tradeoff i have thought about and accepted #anyway i hope something in here is helpful <3 #asks #anon #privacy #i have mutuals on here who know my address because i said that i would send them mail if they gave me their address #and then i included my address on the envelope. but i won't transmit my address via tumblr. so they have to be willing to tell me #their address first. and not everyone is going to be willing to do that (clearly!) and that is fine! #i have also at times told followers that they could give me their address if they want a holiday card and usually in that case i don't put #my address on the envelope. so that's even more one-sided. which some people aren't interested in. again‚ totally understandable! #it's about setting expectations and then letting people decide how they want to engage with you given those expectations

Tips for writing those gala scenes, from someone who goes to them occasionally:

Generally you unbutton and re-button a suit coat when you sit down and stand up.

You’re supposed to hold wine or champagne glasses by the stem to avoid warming up the liquid inside. A character out of their depth might hold the glass around the sides instead.

When rich/important people forget your name and they’re drunk, they usually just tell you that they don’t remember or completely skip over any opportunity to use your name so they don’t look silly.

A good way to indicate you don’t want to shake someone’s hand at an event is to hold a drink in your right hand (and if you’re a woman, a purse in the other so you definitely can’t shift the glass to another hand and then shake)

Americans who still kiss cheeks as a welcome generally don’t press lips to cheeks, it’s more of a touch of cheek to cheek or even a hover (these days, mostly to avoid smudging a woman’s makeup)

The distinctions between dress codes (black tie, cocktail, etc) are very intricate but obvious to those who know how to look. If you wear a short skirt to a black tie event for example, people would clock that instantly even if the dress itself was very formal. Same thing goes for certain articles of men’s clothing.

Open bars / cash bars at events usually carry limited options. They’re meant to serve lots of people very quickly, so nobody is getting a cosmo or a Manhattan etc.

Members of the press generally aren’t allowed to freely circulate at nicer galas/events without a very good reason. When they do, they need to identify themselves before talking with someone.

As a late diagnosed autist I will say one of the most damaging but transformative experiences I've ever had was being misdiagnosed with BPD.

Everyday my heart goes out to people with BPD.

The amount of stigma and silencing they face is astonishing and sickening.

I took DBT for years. Therapists use to turn me away because of my diagnosis.

I would be having full blown autistic meltdowns, crying for help literally - but because I was labeled as BPD ANY time I cried I was treated as manipulative and unstable.

As if the only reason I could be crying was if I was out to trick someone.

95% of the books out there with Borderline in the title are named shit like 'How to get away from a person with Borderline', 'How to stop walking on eggshells (with a person who has BPD)'

I was never allowed to feel true pain or panic or need.

That was 'attention seeking behavior', not me asking for help when a disability was literally inhibiting my ability to process emotions.

There were dozens of times where I had a full meltdown and was either threatened with institutionalization or told I was doing it for attention.

My failing relationships weren't due to a communication issue, or the inability to read social cues. No, because I was labeled borderline, my unstable relationships were my fault. Me beggong nuerotypicals to just be honest and blunt with what they meant was me pestering them for validation.

Borderline patients can't win.

And the funny thing is - I asked my therapist about autism. I told her I thought I was on the spectrum.

BPD is WILDLY misdiagnosed with those with autism and I had many clear signs.

Instead - she told me 'If you were autistic we wouldn't be able to have this conversation'. She made me go through a list of autistic traits made clearly for children, citing how I didn't fit each one.

And then she told me that me identifying with the autism community was the BPD making me search for identity to be accepted - and that I wasn't autistic, just desperate to fit in somewhere.

I didn't get diagnosed for another ten years. For ten years I avoided the autism community - feeling as if I were just a broken person who wanted to steal from people who 'really needed it'.

Because of my providers - I began to doubt my identity MORE, not less.

Ten years of thinking I was borderline and being emotionally neglected and demonized by a system meant to help me.

To this day, I still don't trust neurotypicals. Not fully.

I know I'm not borderline now - but my heart aches for them. Not for the usual stuff. But for the stigma. And the asshole doctors. And the dismissiveness and threatening and the idea of institutionalization hanging over their head.

I love Borderline people. I always will. I'm not Borderline but if you are I love you and I'm sorry.

You're not a bad person. You're not a therapists worst nightmare, you are a human with valid feelings and fears.

Borderline people I'm sorry.
