#Noun Life.

[annabelle--cane]

this comment was made in response to a bunch of terf bs and I don't tend to like sharing their stuff directly but I desperately wanted to preserve this line on my blog. sorry for stealing your post ms doubleca5t.

#one of their lines of argument was like #'sex isn't a social construct humans aren't a social construct animals and land aren't social constructs' #and like. comrade. I have some really bad news about the history of the construction of 'humanity' as a category. #'people are not a social construct' says person who sees no problem in calling everyone 'males' and 'females' as nouns #marina marvels at life #id in alt text #anyway I think this line is going to live in my head in a similar place as my classic #'me when I haven't been banned from my local lgbt center' litany for when I see weird exclusionism

the original badly translated shirt didn't even end up saying 'black lives matter'

it actually said something more like. where you live is made of blue stuff.

#Gorm Chónaí Ábhar #gorm as established means blue EXCEPT in reference to people when it's black #but there is no reference to human beings in that sentence actually #because! #Chónaí is a verb. it's not 'lives' in the noun sense of... a life #it's lives. as in. where you live. your residence. or town. #but the blue dwellings are important right #no! #Ábhar is a noun. it's not matter as in 'is important' it's matter as in like. physical. dense matter #it's still grammatical nonsense but really it's closer to #'places you live in are made of blue stuff' #IN A BLUE HOUSE WITH BLUE WINDOWS

im gonna be honest with you guys. gonna be perfectly candid. im fucking livid that lord of the rings is as good as it is. imo it should have been bad to retroactively justify why i was so hostile about it. but instead its really good and now i have to be the dipshit being like "wow have you guys heard about this thing i just discovered???? its called lord of the rings" like yeah bitch everyone knows about lord of the rings. how did you manage to go 22 years never learning the actual plot of lord of the rings.

#anime life #i somehow managed to learn only proper nouns and almost none of the plot #i watched fellowship of the ring when it came out in like. 2001. but the thing is i was 6 and i HATED IT #and then i got very resentful at how pushy people were about it. how insistent they were that i MUST love lotr. i HAVE TO. #which is a thing that always makes me kind of resentful. #especially because it was never people who actually knew me and my taste telling me that i should watch and love lotr #it was like. my sister. who was telling me that everything i DID like was shit and i should like something good instead. #or from guys id just met that day at a con or something

doing the free sample chapter of Gramadach gan stró and it is HUMBLING. every time i do an exercise i'm like, i think i did okay this time, maybe i won't embarrass myself, and then i get 3/10 correct lmfao

i have learned: i can't spell (i knew this, i spend too much time with early modern irish); i don't know the gender of any nouns (like. any of them); i forget grammatical rules literally thirty seconds after they've been explained to me (this is not news); ~vibes~ is not a substitute for actual grammar

but i can mostly read the grammar explanations in irish although i check them against the english. which makes it extra infuriating that i am so bad at putting them into action 😆 my reading level is so far ahead of literally all my other skills

anyway probably going to do this course properly after my current classes finish so that when i next go to the gaeltacht i don't COMPLETELY embarrass myself by not even knowing how to correctly use an adjective

#i have never learned the gender of a noun in my life and it SHOWS #okay actually i know cailín and fuinneog and that's basically it lol #irish #gaeilge

“I don’t even have a name in my own story”

ok but in said story’s defense: neither does Cinderella. Cinderella as a name is smth the english came up with for their translation, Aschenputtel is a (derogatory) job description, not a name

#dimension 20 spoilers #dimension 20 #dimension 20 neverafter #cinderella #aschenputtel #honestly pretty sure noone has names in og grimm fairytales #kind of what you get from collecting folk tales abt anything other than like named gods like various mythologies' pantheons #edit: ok to clarify for english/non-german speakers as I just had to block someone trying to um actually me without knowing fucking german #-ella implies a name or nickname therefore cinderella by its very nature is taking a noun and making it a name #Puttel is a word unto itself not a name suffix #Aschenputtel is fully just a noun not a name not even trying to be a name #(a derogatory one but a noun nonetheless) #I know 6 languages german is my second I've known it since I can remember had it for like 13 years in school and spent the first 19 years #of my life watching almost exclusively german TV #and english is my fifth and I am american-passing-level fluid in it #anyone who feels like um actually-ing me about my second language that they do not speak needs to please check their anglocentric privilege #or will get blocked under my zero tolerance 'no bad vibes' policy #this has been the second PSA of the day thank you for your attention #please don't be dickheads to strangers on the internet

The Deeper Meanings of Name Cloaks. Unless...?

I would find it so funny if we randomly meet a wizard with a name cloak of a proper noun that doesn't have another meaning (i.e. isn't already a word in English).

Sonder may be the closest we've gotten so far. It's a recently-coined word (at least in English) so potentially might not count yet as a word with a meaning outside of just being a name for this story (though I would not put it past Brennan to have heard of this word and use it for its other meaning).

Anyway, I'm hanging out for the day we meet a new character and

"What up, you can call me the Wizard Stephanie."

#For anyone who's curious: #Noun #sonder (uncountable) #(neologism) The profound feeling of realizing that everyone #including strangers passing in the street #has a life as complex as one's own #which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it. #Worlds Beyond Number #The Wizard the Witch and the Wild One #Name Cloaks #Wizard Sonder #Wizard Names #WWWO #And like I know that most names have some ancient meaning from long ago or in different languages #but I'm more talking about names that you wouldn't use in a sentence unless you were referring to a person

is Three Weedsmoking Girlfriends a valid Teixcalaanli name

#I feel like I remember a few people with multiple-word nouns #at least the one who became a citizen later in life #the 37 All Purpose Vehicle or whatever they were making fun of #a memory called empire

I understand why most people don't really like James Joint Blunt, but there's something about this particular song that I always find deeply touching. These lyrics really resonate with me and with the way I usually tend to fall in love

#not like there's anyone in my life rn because there's not #also i have a soft spot for construction “my / our [noun or adjective] heart(s)” #you know. my jet black heart. your stone cold heart. #that being said there's something about “our bonfire hearts” that speaks to me #me vs the world.mp3

[gasterofficial]

hi guys i think roleplaying as gaster from hit indie game undertale on tumblr dot com has made me realize i am nonbinary . do we NEED any more proof of gaster's nonbinary slay

#me feeling gender euphoria being referred to as he/him/dad/doc/man: 'ah yes this certainly means nothing' #my pronouns are the same for what it's worth. talked with a friend and did some reflection and the internal situation is complicated #but basically i wouldn't want to be referred to with he/him in real life but i really like masculine nouns #but uhhhhhhh yeah gender moment unlocked #mine #personal #gaster

[blastlight]

Somebody remind me to buy some edible glitter and then douse everything I own in it. thanks!

may have flown too close to the sun. searched the name of a professor of mine on here because he's a mildly well known poet and immediately found two of my classmates' blogs.

#never ever ever gonna post any proper nouns related to my school ever #marina marvels at life #also girlies why are you making web weaves with your current professor's work

i have finished the first part (of five) of les misérables! that's the good news. the bad news is that i now have to read the second part, which opens with a 70-page section entitled "waterloo". like babe i do not know what ANY of these nouns are though. i'm getting that there was a battle at which lots of people died horribly (as often happens in battles) and we are now describing the battleground thirty years later. okay so are we gonna do this for the whole 70 pages or...

#i think we're actually about to move on to describing the battle itself possibly beat by beat #so i'm getting ready to see a bunch of VERBS i don't know. never a dull moment! #at one point he hit me with like five unfamiliar nouns in a row but because i know the word for 'well' i'm pretty sure he was #talking about various parts of the well mechanism. words i probably don't even know in english because i've never used a well in my life #i saw 'meurtrières' & was like ok first thought is Women Who Kill. but in context i feel like it has to be some kind of war equipment #apparently it means arrow slits #i just feel like if you're going to take 70 pages to talk about waterloo it's probably for a reason #and i'm probably missing out on the reason because i'm just letting the sentences wash over me because i only half know what they mean #anyway. bad shit happened at waterloo! war is hell! that's my takeaway so far #i am really glad i already knew about the lion statue irl or i would have been so confused by that part lol #i would have been like sooo...is this a metaphor for something? #why would there be a lion on this hill in belgium #but unfortunately that's about the extent of my knowledge of waterloo. other than the fact that napoleon lost lol #les mis #my posts
