I thought you had disappeared but instead!! 🎉 congrats on the name change 🎉

omg you made art? for me???? this is so fuckin sweet how are you real!! i love it i love him 🥺 thank you my friend 🥺🥺

now taking guesses as to what crosslinguistic pun my new username is! because of this beautiful artwork you don't even really need to speak french to figure it out. i would say whoever gets it right gets a prize, but i'm not sure what it would be lol. so let's say if you get it right you may or may not get a prize. schrödinger's prize <3

#this is so sweet of you omg i'm losing it !!! #also you must have noticed like an hour after i changed it lol. it is very new! #thank you again for letting me bounce my ideas off of you <3 i'm very happy with this one 😊 #asks #not anon #crosslinguistic puns #just add #art #these are a few of my favorite things #NICE SHIT #you're so right about the color too. your mind #also WHEN did you make this?? have you had it locked and loaded for weeks or did you make it after noticing the change? #because either way i am emotional abt it

My curiosity is piqued I must say, would you mind sharing some of those username-worthy cross linguistic puns? (maybe not the most likely to be chosen as not to spoil, but some runners up? (runner ups?))

my fave of the ones not in the running for a username is:

se betteraviser/think beeter of it

#might dm you the username contenders at some point if i need help picking!! 😎 #asks #not anon #crosslinguistic puns #french

I don't know if it's rude to ask, so apologies in advance if I sound mean, but… how come you repeatedly bring up old posts of yours from three or more years ago? Do you remember each original post you make and intentionally bring them back? Like, I don't think there's anything wrong, your blog can be whatever you want, obviously, and your stuff is always funny or curious in some way, just… I'm kind of lost as of how it came to be, I guess? I don't think I remember my own posts after 6 months, much least if I have to go back to 2020!

ahaha no it's usually just because i'm going back through a tag looking for something else! i recently went back through my entire "my posts" tag (which contains...1468 posts, dear lord) and while i was doing that saw several posts that i felt like reblogging for whatever reason. so it's usually not that i remember them and go looking for them on purpose, it's that i come across them incidentally in the course of doing something else.

if you want to know why i reblog them after coming across them, 1) usually i don't! you are seeing the tip of the iceberg lol, and 2) it's mostly because it's hard to resist the "sooo true, bestie" urge, even when the bestie is just...yourself.

#sometimes...things that are written by me...are things i agree with #but oftentimes they are not once a few years have passed lol. i mean i just looked at 1468 posts by yours truly #and queued probably 1% of them #oh i also went through my asks tag which was another 500 or so posts #if you want to know why i'm putting myself through this it's for a really ridiculous reason #namely: several nights ago i had insomnia brought on by (get this) being too excited to sleep because my brain wouldn't stop #coming up with crosslinguistic french/english puns #and a couple of them in particular i was like oh god this would be a great tumblr username! #however as i've said before i had no plans to ever change my username (even though i don't like it) #because doing so would break any links that contain my current username #i had resigned myself to just living with this username forever. but once i thought of some usernames i actually like #it became harder to resist the urge to change it... #so now i have this convoluted plan to try to identify and tag as many of the links as i can #so that after i switch names i can go back and fix the links #however i'm not sure how feasible this is. there are a lot of links #and no matter what i do short of going through all 45k posts on this blog i will be bound to miss some of them anyway #(i think getting a domain would solve this problem but i don't wanna get a domain bc i'd have to give wordpress my legal name) #indecisive superhero meme w the buttons 'the need to have punny username' vs. 'the need to be able to find things on my blog' #asks #anon #actually anon probably the majority of the time i rb something i wrote 3 years ago it's bc i forgot about it #i come across it and am like oh yeah! this! and it's like a brand new discovery so i put it back on the dash lol #anyway thanks for your ask! i got a kick out of it 😂
