As much as I adore conlangs, I really like how the Imperial Radch books handle language. The book is entirely in English but you're constantly aware that you're reading a "translation," both of the Radchaai language Breq speaks as default, and also the various other languages she encounters. We don't hear the words but we hear her fretting about terms of address (the beloathed gendering on Nilt) and concepts that do or don't translate (Awn switching out of Radchaai when she needs a language where "citizen," "civilized," and "Radchaai person" aren't all the same word) and noting people's registers and accents. The snatches of lyrics we hear don't scan or rhyme--even, and this is what sells it to me, the real-world songs with English lyrics, which get the same "literal translation" style as everything else--because we aren't hearing the actual words, we're hearing Breq's understanding of what they mean. I think it's a cool way to acknowledge linguistic complexity and some of the difficulties of multilingual/multicultural communication, which of course becomes a larger theme when we get to the plot with the Presgar Translators.

#imperial radch #also a great example of the 'you don't have to be Tolkien' phenomenon #if you want to think about linguistic differences by building all the languages in your setting #and being able to explain what those differences are through actual texts in the language in question #that's AWESOME #but it's not the only way to do it #it's also interesting because of course this style only works in book form #everyone's speaking different languages but in a written account they're all 'translated' for you #but of course if it was a TV series they would all have to be speaking a language the audience understands #(or you *would* have to go wild with conlangs) #and i think that's really cool as well-- #how for a series where song is so central we don't actually hear any of the actual in-universe words or any of the music #it's all been filtered #and again you know this is happening but seeing the examples of how real songs--the shape hymns and 'L'homme Arme'--are presented #makes you a lot more viscerally aware of how limited your perspective is #it's good #ann leckie i love you

I am curious about the oldest item of clothing in your regular rotation. Not jewelry/family heirlooms/costumes etc, but something that you might grab when getting ready in a normal day (it may be a costume/heirloom but you actually wear it).

And were you the original owner, or did you get it second hand/passed down/found etc?

Tag with how old it is and how you got it!

#polls #poll #tumblr polls #an actual real question this time #really curious! #because i know i have some very old pieces that i wear regularly #and bet other people do too! #and they tend to have cool stories

I like how, despite the edgy apperance, Eddie is this kind ray of sunshine who listens to metal all the time while Steve, despite the preppy appearance, has a master in Death Glare while listening to, i don't know, Madonna I think.

#steve harrington looking like if glarr would kill you'd be dead while listening to Material Girl #I have so many questions about Steve music taste #like in the present do you think he'd listen to Taylor Swift? I have a feeling he'd pretend to listen to Kanye West to look cool #but he is a certified swiftie #I can't figure the guy out musically really #steve harrington #eddie munson #steddie #stranger things 4 #stranger things s4 #stranger things

"I think this is the most inhuman; and human, that I've ever felt.." MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. IN FIVE YEARS. A DECADE. imagine how much can happen in a century. just ONE (1). How will you grow? what phases do you find? even in 5 years, you will find patterns.

gonna be honest, its incredibly demoralizing for going through transitioning if you can't even be Transgender on the Transgender Website

#like oh okay I guess i'm not safe anywhere ever #the body dysphoria is already nightmarish but these past 2 weeks have just been #"well hey you'll still be constantly questioned even by other trans people and there is no space on this planet that will accept you #“but at least you won't want to punch EVERY mirror you see!” #wow cool thanks #really experiencing the positivity of both the LGBT+ “Community” and “Allies”

[marzipanandminutiae]

what do we want?

a canon F/F Gothic romance where both leads are actually, truly, "I enjoy this" feminine-presenting and not just "performing socially expected baseline levels of femininity for her society, but she doesn't REALLY like it and she'd TOTALLY be wearing trousers if she could but she CAN'T so that's why we CAN'T MAKE HER PROPERLY MASC EITHER!!!!"

when do we want it?

fucking yesterday tbh

#like sorry does ANYONE feel represented by that? #at least the masc/masc or masc/fem stories are usually written by sapphists because it's what they're into #I can respect that even while I wish more of My Thing existed #but the whole She IS Fem but She Doesn't LIKE It but She Can't Be Androgynous or Masc Even Though This Is Fiction thing is so played out #not everything is for or about me and that's fine but there was one book I was really enjoying on this level #thinking 'oh hey finally a book where both of the sapphists actually LIKE wearing dresses for a change! cool!' #and then one of them cast an illusion to make herself look like a man and the other one was into it and I was like 'oh. okay.' #(some people like that and that's fine! it just lessened my personal enjoyment of the sex scene in question!)

sooo Time is a God, like a literal God. How does that affect the timeline splits? And if Time knows the windfish, then does he know Oshus? Can he just see through time? (it'd make sense. it's in his name) -a very curious mutual who needs to know the extent of flying fish angst

Great question! As always, I rambled too long so look under the cut haha!

Time knows EVERYONE! He knows Oshus, he knows Zephos and Cyclos and the Wind Fish and literally every God! He knows spirits- he knows Ordona, Lanayru, Eldin, and Faron (Twilight Princess). Knows Levias, he knows Skyward Sword’s dragons. He knows Dinraal, Farosh, Naydra- and for a time, he even had a connection to the Light Dragon. Anything that is godly or intensely spiritual, he knows. Now, this “knowing” is more of a “sense.” He can feel their presence, he can speak to them. But he does not form relationships with the divine. They’re not friends. In fact, Time does his best NOT to be involved with them, presiding over his own dominion and keeping watch over the flow of time.

Time cannot merge timelines, but he can sure split them!! And travel between. Every action, even the smallest ones, creates alternate timelines. Twilight decided to keep his hair down today? Wild chose to make creamy meat soup for lunch instead of vegetable soup? Sky kept his feet firmly on the ground, deciding that the clouds were too dark to be safe flying? Literally every little thing creates alternate versions of each person- the Twilight that put his hair up, the Wild that made vegetable soup, the Sky who decided to risk it.

Time has the power to redo, but not the power to undo. He cannot erase those alternate versions of people. By merging timelines, he’d negate their existence. Time’s responsibility as a God is to manage all of these timelines- a mere servant of Nayru- and protect his people. He can’t snap his fingers and undo and action, but he can go back in time and nudge people onto a different path.

He can warn Twilight of a village up ahead that would be suspicious of his markings, encouraging to leave his hair down. He could tell Wild that his healing herbs should not be wasted in vegetable soup, suggesting an alternative. He can warn Sky of a wicked storm, begging him not to hurt himself. To the onlooker, this might just look like bare boned time travel: going to the past to change the future. But to Time, it’s less linear. He raises his ocarina to his lips and jumps between timelines, hoping that he can take his companions with him.

Now… that’s a whole other issue. Each time he hops between timelines, he is technically meeting DIFFERENT versions of his friends. This is not the Twilight he knows- he has his memories, his thoughts, he looks identical. He’s not exactly an imposter but he’s not the same. Twilight would not notice this change, but Time would. That kind of awareness weighs on a person. And, in Time’s early days as a God, he does not use this power often. It’s not to be taken lightly.

As far as being able to see through time, I’m going to give that a solid “kind of.” He cannot see the future. But. He can see the past. He can infinitely rewind and switch timelines for a more favorable outcome. Some might think that he’s all powerful- that he knows what actions to take to lead to a better future, but really it’s just trail and error. He never knows the outcomes of his actions, but he has to power to redo them a million times until it succeeds.

I hope this answered your question!

Honestly hate how Annabeth doesn't get to keep majority of her items (ie. Daedalus' laptop)

#it annoys me so much because some of them were really unique and could've been used really well #The video shield (From TLO and never used again in the main books) was such a cool concept and was made by Beckendorf #So it could've been like a memory of him #No. Rick destroys it in a side story #And her laptop given to her by the greatest inventor alive a symbol of how ideas will get passed down from generation to generation #Lost in hell #Her knife that her adoptive brother gave her when she was seven years old a symbol of their familial bond #Also lost in hell #That one infuriates me #That trio was the most important one in the og series #but now that Luke's dead lets not keep the knife he gave to his sister because... I don't know she can't have things from dead people? #Why can't Annabeth keep things from dead people? #That's the question I'm getting from writing this #Rick I am speaking directly to you #Why do you hate the deceased? #annabeth chase #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #do i tag this as rr crit #I'll do it to be safe #rr crit

My issue with Thor not ‘realizing’ why Loki was acting off in Avengers 1 isn’t that Thor didn’t recognise Loki was acting unlike himself—Thor did note that—or that Thor didn’t figure out what was wrong—he did try asking—it’s more along the lines of Thor giving up, and that he accepted Loki was bad now within two days while knowing something was off when Thor himself behaved just as bad for much longer before without any specific compromising event.

#Thor was happy go kill for so long and Loki waited for Thor to get better and then Thor KNOWS something is up #and he still accepts Loki is evil now and never questions or visits Loki in prison again #he moped around about it because of duty and depression but that he had such little faith in Loki #like either his little brother really did go mad out of jealousy and rage AND is permanently like that with no resolution between them #it’s ridiculous #I like the Thor in my head who never believed Loki had actually gone mad and went after the infinity stones bc he suspected #the one that would not only trust Loki to get them off Asgard in TDW but knew Loki had the throne after and let it be that way #bc he knows his brother and wouldn’t stop believing Loki can ‘get better’ even if he’d truly gone mad #like I get that Thor in Avengers 1 would have been conflicted and could’ve taken everything at face value #Loki was DEAD and now he’s not of course Thor isn’t going to be thinking straight #it’s easy to look at Loki and assume he spent a year plotting revenge after faking his death #but Thor had time after to cool down and only gave Loki a chance in TDW when there was no other option #like did he genuinely think Loki will try to kill him #is Thor scared of Loki now or what #Thor’s spending so much time thinking of what he’s lost that he develops depression but doesn’t ever voice or support the idea that maybe #Loki was forced to do the invasion #AFTER he asks ‘who controls the would-be king’ like come on Thor just ask a follow-up question #Thor autistic king distracted by ‘YOUR father’ discourse fr #T-T #I simply don’t think Thor would have given up on Loki even if Loki stabbed him sorry #it wouldn’t even be bc he’s naive it’d be because he knows and loves his brother #and he’d keep hoping for a change of heart #he wouldn’t ditch the issue unless it was to go under the radar and that’s never explicitly implied #unfortunately #:(

while yes all pigeons in the us are domesticated and there is nothing legally wrong with taking a pigeon off the street to keep as a pet, please keep in mind that you could be taking it away from it’s partner or babies :(

if you are serious about keeping a pigeon, i strongly suggest looking into rescues because there are always always pigeons in need of homes!

#if anyone has any pigeon pet questions feel free to ask!! they make really good pets #great lakes pigeon rescue is a really good one! they also ship!!! #this is obviously irrelevant if u are saving one from an injury or it’s sick #or if u see a fancy breed in the wild! #i rescued mine bc he wouldn’t have survived outside bc he’s fancy #please just be respectful and responsible :) #also i say in the us bc i have no idea about the rest of the world #there’s some pretty cool native pigeons (like the fruit dove!!)

javier realizing how much he cares for lloyd, how deep his loyalty to him runs, how ready he's to lie down his life for him, not because he's the son of his lord, not even really knowing exactly why he feels like that but just being absolutely certain that lloyd is his friend and he can't allow anything to harm him

And yet, why am I trying so hard to protect him? He had no way of knowing. But one thing was clear. It was a very simple matter. I want to protect him. Lloyd is my true master in my heart. Lloyd was his friend. And now, Javier wanted to protect Lloyd. He would sincerely protect him with everything he had.

he doesn't even know why!! he just knows that lloyd is his friend and his true master in his heart and that's!! more than enough for him to decide he's willing to put his life and everything he has in the line to protect him!! i'm just!!

#i talk a lot <3 #tged #the greatest estate developer #javier asrahan #lloyd frontera #llojavi #yes i'm tagging it #javier: uh i wonder why i care so much for lloyd to the point i'm ready to die for him and consider him the most important person in my lif #javier: what could possibly be the reason. oh well guess we'll never know. #me: well i have a theory but everyone has to get real cool about a bunch of stuff really quickly #and the thing that gets to me. is that javier already knows lloyd is his friend. that's not the question. he knows lloyd is his friend #he outright acknowledges it in his thoughts right after thinking he doesn't know why he's so willing to risk everything for lloyd #so like. mmhh. #javier wonders why he cares so much for lloyd. he outright says he doesn't know the reason. then immediately thinks it doesn't matter #because lloyd is his friend and so he has to protect him. so obviously lloyd being his friend is not the answer to his question #because he's already acknowledging that to himself. and we know it's not out of duty because he already knows that lloyd is a fake #so if it's not duty. and it's not just lloyd being his friend. then what other reason is there for javier to feel so strongly about lloyd. #i wonder. #ch 320
