The Enunciation.

JOKE-OGRAPHY: In this story, Jesus mentions to His followers that He's troubled by the fate He's about to endure, but instead of praying to be spared from that fate, He prays only that His Father uses it to glorify Himself. Jesus is setting an example of ultimate humility and deference to God's plan. God replies to Jesus, but His voice catches the crowd off-guard. Was that really a voice in the clouds, or just thunder? An angel, or a storm? In this cartoon, one astute crowd-dweller asks whether they should be more afraid of a storm which threatens "elocution" (clear speech, like from an angel), or a storm which threatens "electrocution" (dangerous injury by electric shock, like from a lightning bolt). Another even astuter crowd-dweller answers him quickly, saying that being murdered by nature's taser is way worse than well-enunciated words.

"Postures unfavourable to vocal delivery", from A System of Elocution (1846) by Andrew Comstock [x]

Alternatively, people who are having a good old reading sesh and don't care what pernickety authors think of them. A particular shout-out to Number 7, because she's definitely living her best life.

FATHER FLYNN MEMORIAL AT PASSAGE WEST IN CORK

Such was his reputation for curing speech impediments that the BBC producer Hywel Davis made a half-hour documentary based on his life

HE HAD A REPUTATION FOR CURING SPEECH IMPEDIMENTS It has taken me many years to establish the story behind this memorial which has 1881-1961 on the base instead of 1881-1962. Such was his reputation for curing speech impediments that the BBC producer Hywel Davis made a half-hour documentary based on his life entitled ‘It happened to me’, broadcast in June 1961. As a result, O’Flynn received…

as someone who tends to go nonverbal, i sincerely enjoy the mutually symbiotic relationship i have with my fast talking autist friends

Haters will never understand the way we love—sometimes, people will even white knight like, “Deadpan, your friend Stephen the Silent is probably waiting for a turn to talk” and Stephen has to articulate that I was doing an erotic dance (comprehensively recounting the plot of a book adjacent to his interests that he won't read on account of only vibing with non-fiction) for him, and you ruined it, I was in the zone, Silent Stephen was loving it.

#everyone who has to listen to me is unknowingly obliged to the SLP who gave me pointers on diction and elocution #before which i was as articulate as ever in theory but incomprehensible in practice #so now my range runs from “tom stoppard if he were a used car salesmen” to “world's most pretentious auctioneer”#anonymous #assbox

So I made some sh-t about Arielle's bf

His name is Ellery

None of Arielle's siblings knew Arielle was dating til she got a literal bracelet(They got suspicious of the bracelet and Camy told Crescent bout it and now she has to introduce her bf to the family)

I feel like before Camy told Crescent, Camillo asked who she got it from(Aka who gifted it to her) and she didn't want to say but hey they gotta know someday so she told them

I'm sure Ellery will make it out alive right😀

Marie looking at Ellery like: How dare u

@insanelyadd

#collector oc #the archivists #toh the archivists #toh oc #Poor Ellery #Marie is too poised Penumbra why did u teach her Elocution now she's gonna become more poised/jk #Ellery pls make it out alive #Pls pls plsssss #Crescent u won't do anything to Ellery right?.....#Btw little something to know #Marie was the one who came up with the misspelled “Auntie”(She spelled it as Aunty and the others went with it cause they liked it)#Imagine Penumbra Solari and Satellite

gale is frankly such a hilarious parody of your classic wizard with extra hubris that i think for anders it’s almost on sight. he’s not a blood mage (obviously. doesn’t exist for gale) but he’s definitely not the Good Andrastian Mage anders doesn’t think he believes in (but absolutely does). were it to come down to a physical fight, anders would already be so filled with rage it would give him advantage on every attack. momentarily multiclasses through intellectual properties into a barbarian cause gale irritates him so

#plus! he is hammy posh in the same way that all tevinter magisters inexplicably sound like they’ve been ruthlessly trained in elocution #on a bbc black site #im just saying anders is already THIS close #bg3 #da #aloth is just chilling while this happens btw. he’s. so scared.#everyone always forgets aloth in the video game wizard conversations. sad! he’s my special guy #also! this is part of my gale merrill agenda. i just think they would be friends

thinking about CO fic again in a very vague way and god i'd forgotten how much fun it was to deal with Such distinctive character voices :') i love you vampire media...

#carry on #simon snow #baz pitch #i need an excuse for them to comment on it exhaustively so i can just lay out all my accent headcanons #elocution lesson? hmm. perhaps #baz's voice in my head is sooo clear and sooo insufferable 🖤🖤🖤 someone guillotine that boy #simon's voice not quite so precise but that's partly bc i think he has a huge melting pot of regional influences #so i don't think it's a static thing... i think he's a bit of a chameleon #not a very successful one but like. he tries. he compromises. often w/o being aware he's doing so #a dash of welsh here a sprinkle of rp there... u know how it goes #nothing *from* baz bc he doubles down on the Fuck You Im Lancastrian whenever he talks to baz #but agatha influence esp in vocab might nevertheless sneak in...

Jekyll and Hyde/The Vampyre crossover where allegedly it's about Hyde and Ruthven teaming up to do Some Mischief(TM), but in practice it mostly ends up being Jekyll and Ruthven loudly complaining about how no one can correctly pronounce their Scottish last names.

*It's technically supposed to be 'Jeekil' and 'Riven' respectively, but even adaptations frequently get it wrong.

#the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde #jekyll and hyde weekly #henry jekyll #edward hyde #the vampyre #lord ruthven #literature #crossover!#robert louis stevenson #john polidori #Ruthven: 'And do I LOOK like a ROOTHven to you??? I mean really???'#Jekyll: 'I couldn't agree more my boy! Now were you gonna bite that guy or...'#Ruthven: 'Oh yeah.' *pause* 'You know what ELSE they can never pronounce though...'#(they're just having this conversation while Ruthven casually holds his would-be victim by the neck #at some point one of them turns to him like 'Like here's what I'm talking about. Can you say X?'#Terrified Dude: *mutters something*#'You see!! The English absolutely BUTCHER it every time'#Victim Dude is like 'Uhhhh I'm not really sure what's happening here but could someone please let me know #if this elocution lesson ends with me dying or not #cool. thanks.')
