Went to school for german support today and also sent off my new university application! I feel better than i did last time now that i've applied to a course i actually really want to study. It feels like my bones are in the right place for the first time in weeks.

As those of you who saw my prev post may have guessed i also did a past paper for physical and inorganic chemistry. Now i have the evening to myself :)

🎶Currently listening: Can I Call You Tonight - Dayglow🎶

My beloved wife is not just a doctor of acupuncture, they also have a Master’s in both English and German. Language is their jam. To their eternal suffering, I do not have perfect grammar. When prompted they said it’s “fairly acceptable” on a day to day basis.

But I do have quirks that make them quietly grit their teeth. One of them is my indifference to differentiation between “is” and “are”. On multiple occasions they’ve tried to explain to me when I misuse “is,” and generally I can’t even parse what’s upset them. They gave an example of me asking, “Is there pickles in the fridge?” rather than the correct “Are there pickles in the fridge?”

They’ve told me that to pacify the editor in their brain they’ll mentally correct my sentences and that’s usually enough. Tonight it was me saying “There is other narrators,” in reference to a series we’re reading. When they pointed it out tonight it was to say that “are” would have been correct because there’s multiple other narrators.

“No,” I countered, “I was trying to use ambiguous language but there is really only one other narrator, so in my mind I knew that and spoke incorrectly because I knew it was singular but the sentence implied it was plural.”

This incensed them further (I also don’t know the difference between further and farther and the pneumonic is just as unhelpful to me as the one for stalactites and stalagmites.)

What’s funny to me though was that I asked about my use of “kind’ve” that people got worked up over in my 20lb ass post. “Doesn’t that bother you? It’s blatantly wrong.”

“No, that’s just a colloquialism, it’s fine.”

#ramblies #funny #that gay wife life #for the love if god please don’t try to provide helpful pneumonics #I am just telling a story and I’m perfectly content at my current levels of aptitude #grammar #please also refrain from jokes about the English/German pairing my wife is Jewish and will not appreciate it #genuinely pneumonic was an autocorrect but yknow what #I’m leaving it

how do you think all the "devour"-ing talk in blue lock sounds when it's been put through an automatic translator. do the international players who hear the blue lockers talk about cannibalizing each other assume it must sound so strange because it has different connotations in the original japanese? do they know isagi's a huge freak?

#bolo liveblogs #blue lock #bllk #the linguistic/social implications of The Fucking Earbuds are HAUNTING me rn #I'm just picturing snuffy hearing barou engage in Devouring Talk for the first time and go oh. okay. so the translators aren't perfect. #I'm not sure if the germans on bastard münchen realize that ''devouring'' means exactly what it sounds like #but either way they've taken that level of insane homoerotic vitriol and run with it so

This is a special genre of f1 picture(to ME.)

#ive talked a lot about helmets lately oops #i guess i just rly have an obsession with how they're an extension of the driver #and a representation of them and their only sense of personality and individuality when theyre all geared up #so theres something to me about the separation of helmet from driver like in these pics #of course theres pics of the helmet on its own for model kinda pics(like all the pics i used for my past project posts) #but this is its own genre. helmet doing its own thing. helmet away from the vicinity of its owner #helmet being protected from the elements. it has its own carrying bag. it gets an umbrella. etc etc #the first pic made me on the lookout for pics w a similar vibe. IDK WHY BUT IM RLY OBSESSED WITH IT #having a severe helmet fucker era </3 i look at these and i feel very weird about them 😭 #not included cause its a differnt genre but also thinking abt pics where someone other than the driver themselves is holding their helmet #theres something weirdly intimate to me about it. its too reminiscent of that one painting of the germanic warrior holding the roman helmet #<- DO YOU GET WHAT IM IMPLYING HERE. #anyways. i digress. helmet being taken care of and protected is cute to me #its such an extension of the driver so its kinda funny ig that they get their own photoshoots #also yeah these are all nando helmets bcs i couldn't find pics from other drivers that i thought had the same vibe #and i think its interesting how these correlate with whom the photographer is and the level of popularity of the driver #like are you popular enough that someone will see your helmet apart from you and think its important enough for a pic? #and its so interesting comparing pics from the same time from different teams #bcs you can see how different the motivations of the different photographers are based on what the pics are like #well blah blah blah helmet kink blah blah blah #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #helmet

‘So, judging by your face you did something again’

‘Maybe? 👉👈’

‘You absolutely did something I won’t be happy with Hunter Sung Jinwoo’

#solo leveling #woo jin chul #sung jin woo #idek it’s always funny for me when jinwoo does smth and his first reaction is ‘on fuck chief woo is gonna kill me—‘ #jinchul absolutely ain’t paid enough for this #he just sees jinwoo trying to act natural and his instincts just kick in #let jinchul german suplex annoying S ranks it will be his personal therapy

Another weird question for y'all: If you are moderately allergic* to a thing and had been eating it anyway for years because you didn't know, and then when you figure out what you're allergic to you quit eating it at all, can you lose your ability to tolerate even a little bit of it? *a phrase which here means "probably severely allergic but can tolerate small amounts when on antihistamines"

#the person behind the yarn #allergy mention #food mention #I am not sure what I reacted to so severely today #and based on what I ate yesterday there's a chance my burger was cross contaminated with pickle juice #so I could be vinegared? #and it could be that this is just what vinegar allergic reactions are for me now #or it could be the german chocolate baking chocolate bar which I've never had before #or it could be my usual antihistamines but from a new manufacturer so new inactive ingredients #which means tonight instead of my usual double dose of off brand allegra I took benadryl #(DO NOT use my antihistamine usage as a guide. I take very high levels as directed by my doctors) #(seriously for most people this is both overkill and a bad idea)

Unpopular Huan opinion: I don't think he should look like an identifiable dog breed. He should be massive, vaguely hound-ish, and fundamentally mutty. He should look like Yavanna and Orome took every single breed of hunting and retrieving and livestock guardian and gun dog, broke them down in to fundamental bits like skull shape and leg length and fur texture, shook all those bits up in a paper bag, and played mix-and-match with whichever parts they pulled out of the bag first.

#Tolkien #The only part of Huan that I have a firm visual for #Is his head and snout shape #It is shaped like my brother's German short-hair pointers #Because that's cemented in my brain as Sweet Hunting Dog #But on some level I feel like everyone's Huan should be a unique mix of the best dogs you've ever met #San shoots the breeze

That steven universe meme but it's the current Blorbo I have on rotation and my earliest fandom Blorbo

#gopher art #team fortress 2 #hetalia #tf2 medic #aph germany #there are levels of irony here. 1.) they're both named ludwig Canonically. 2.) the original comic was about Hitler (“that guy” #for those wondering what they're saying is just “we have to kill this guy Ludwig” “alright” #german is a fun language. i love it. it looks so fucking clunky written out but if you read it out loud its actually got a very nice flow

wilhelm the best man ever

#im sorry #kaiser wilhelm ii #kaiser wilhelm 2 #and his dachshund #try not to become a german monarchist challenge (impossible level) #the last one is out of context but idk how to explain it..anyways i think it #s beautiful just like that

[steffigraf]

#context is theyre all in german and i will Not be able to describe any of these terms off the top of my head with my current level so #memorization it is #anyway. pray 4 me. #tennisms

Right at the very beginning of 2x01, when Ava gets to the bar late for her shift and Hans tells her she’s late? And her reply is “my roommate forgot to set the alarm” and Hans’ reply is that super sarcastic “yeah, okay”

The somewhat hidden layer here is Ava incorrectly uses the masculine form of “my roommate” - mein mitbewohner instead of meine mitbewohnerin

So maybe Ava just has bad beginner German (highly possible) but also maybe her German is decent and she’s trying to hold up some ridiculous cover story about her and Beatrice not living together. Except Hans has 0% fallen for any of this and clearly knows who actually runs Ava’s life schedule and now it’s turned into an inside joke because Bea still doesn’t want to break the cover story

#so as it turns out I've been learning german for the better part of 2022 and it just lucked out to make this scene even a tiny bit funnier #and his reaction when he sends ava up to talk to 'the boss' and then also comes in like that when they're up there alone? #adkfjhskdfjhsd he is absolutely sure there's something going on between them and ava knows and isn't changing her behavior at ALL #also I wonder if she could have picked up a basic level of quite a few languages just watching tv shows #and btw Hans is basically IMMEDIATELY vindicated because it’s what? #the next day that Ava talks Beatrice (while she is at the Height of Uptight) into staying at their workplace to get drunk for the first time #and they literally spend an entire evening wrapped up in doing shots and dancing together and being super touchy #warrior nun #they're fucking idiots in love #avatrice

Leon and Bingo from @thebrandywine ‘s [broken machine]

#my fanart #*invites you into my mind palace to see Bingo* #look this is the actual level of polish you can normally expect from me #drawing Leon’s long trauma hair is actually so much fun #he deserves this #he deserves this face full of dog breath and two fists of dog fur #anyway what i’ve learned so far about drawing german shepards is #if you think you drew the ears big enough #no you didn’t #they’re probably still too small tbh… #anyway i was gonna try to pace myself #but I was convinced it was unnecessary #so have more art #leon kennedy #broken machine fanart

finished reading shitshow dissertation. i googled the author fearing she would be a teacher (bc she studied lehramt) -- or worse, a professor -- and she's working as a graphic design consultant or something. thank god

#i'm not being elitist i'm being a hater #it was completely unacademic. zero analysis she just went digging for facts and put them on the page!! #i mean i do need facts but she just straight up failed to think critically #about the stuff she was putting on the page #when you are writing about the german empire and world war one you NEED to spare a crumb of critical thought #bc otherwise you sound like an early 20c race scientist #it was also organized so strangely. it felt like a bachelor level paper (not even a good one) #but it was 300 pages long #thesisposting

hi hope it ok to ask about this. if i do ADLs rarely without help but need help 99% the time is this MSN?

Ok so I'm not really gonna answer more of these type of asks specifically- nothing against you or anything, I just dont feel comfortable "deciding" these things about complete strangers based on a couple sentences alone. So please dont send in your own versions after seeing this. Like, I'm not the support needs authority, I just shared some of my opinions on the term MSN...

However I do think this is a good moment to point out what I touched on a bit in my longer support needs post. Basically that, "can you do it reliably?" = "can you do it all the time when you need it" is important in assessing if care is necessary. And it seems like you know care is necessary majority of the time so that's good. Now idk what type of help you need, how intensive it is or anything, so I'm not really gonna say you're 100% MSN (or something else instead). but what I can say is I experience something fairly close & do ID as MSN (& also like. Have a legal care level of (upper) 2/5 so this isnt me completely talking shit lol)

#anon #asks #obligatory reminder that im talking abt care levels under the german legal system & not “autism levels” under the DSM or sth
