My roman empire is the fact that Auron legit KILLED Derek by fucking BEATING the absolute SHIT outta him then straight NAILED THAT MOFO ON THE DESK & then straight up went on a date afterwards & had the most heartwarming moment ever with Rook. I know that's not much, but I think about that shit at LEAST once a month.

#the cat speaks #yuurivoice #yuurivoice auron #damn this bitch has been doing so many side stories in the same fucking day #that some yakuza 0 type shit #also im still working on the fluff alphabet & im sorry its taking so long #shit has been happening to me like CRAZY #but i can tell ya one thing! #im almost done with alphonse #i have trouble writing characters that i dont talk on a daily basis 😭 im lazy & autistic #he is my roman empire #lol

Funnily enough libraries don't have books shelved as '"correct literature" and "incorrect literature"

#kissinger and malcolm x on the same shelf? prob bc its a biography sorted alphabetically by name #PLENTY of issues to compain about with libraries but wtf are you talking about #in general if things are culturally relevant to know about (EVEN IF YOU DONT AGREE WITH THEM) #then your library might have them! #in fact it's GOOD your library has it so people dont buy it if it's shitty!

These interesting comments from @willpowers got me thinking about how the Another Note novel probably shifted a lot of early fandom headcanons about L and Wammy's as well once it came out. Because honestly it WOULD make a lot of sense to theorize that there were probably orphan geniuses with the aliases A to K who came before L, M, and N (although Matt also being an M name would confuse this theory, but I don't think Matt was indicated or confirmed to be a Wammy's alumni until the HTR13 came out either). The novel definitely made it seem more like L was the original and then the rest of them came afterwards in an attempt to replicate and eventually replace L though, starting with A and Beyond.

#i forget often than near and mello are the next sequential letters in the alphabet #but then you have things like Linda being an L and Matt being an M that confuses it a bit #it would almost be cool if like #each 'batch' of new candidates at Wammy's gets a different letter of the alphabet depending on the year they arrived there #or something along those lines #like mello and matt were both Ms because they both arrived around the same time or something #idk but its definitely vague enough that everybody can have their own specific and different version of how things actually go down #l lawliet #beyond birthday #p #*that

using duolinguo at 7am

advanced information age brain: hmm so this is the soft sign: ь, it seems very important to learn its many uses. i will listen to the audio and learn to distinguish-

pattern matching monkey brain that controls my hands apparenly: i will simply click whatever answer has a lowercase b in it, because it looks like one

that fuckass owl: ❌

#i am. loving the cyrillic alphabet lessons #/SARCASM #i would like to stop making this same fucking error #it feels like its deliberately laying this trap for me #it probably is

haateeee that in high school science classes they dont introduce you to like. the greek alphabet. bc i just found out (2 days before the exam) that ive been writing phi when i shouldve been writing ro in a formula. like. my contact w the greek alphabet is none. they just expect us to know these things bro😭

#im completely fine w using the greek alphabet in formulas. the language nerd in me loves it. but im not enough of a language nerd #to double check formulas and what the teachers say tbh #anyways like its not /that/ much of a big deal i guess. but it IS. TO ME #at the same time tho. it is bc i can easily confuse (and i have) pressure (ro) with other variables (for now i use phi (that i know of) #in electricity. so im safe from confusing it w pressure) #but id been writing the formula w ro and everything......😭 #anyways please bring back latin and ancient greek as mandatory classes for sciences. AT LEAST the biology sciences #would be nice for technology sciences too (in high school) but i think #that most that most eng degrees (except for mine and maybe forestry which are more bio oriented) dont use that much latin and greek #EITHER WAY tho it wouldve been cool to know at least the basics... do u know how much knowing latin helps in botany (a class which ive had) #like my mom that know both latin and botany just tells me 'yeah this plant is called 'whatever alba' bc its white #LIKE I JUST WANT THE BASICS!!!!! #z xarre

“men think about the roman empire every day ??? hurr what !?? thats soo wacky” tell me heterosexual white woman how often do you think about victorian england. how often does jane austin come to mind. dont you talk about cottagecore and shit like that daily??

#the rome thing is so stupid like. fellas is it weird for one of the most culturally influential societies in history #to cross your mind a few times a week? i mean im not even someone who thinks about it that often #but dont we all joke about how ‘all little girls were obsessed with dragons or horses or ancient egypt’ like?? #every day as a person in america u are interacting with some derivative aspect of ancient rome. OUR ALPHABET IS LATIN !!!!!!!! #*THE* standard font is TIMES NEW ROMAN!!!! #birdsong #dont tell me if pride and prejudice isnt actually victorian england core i truly dont give a fuck #its the same vibe. its english major stuff

there's 3 levels at which you can hate warriors:

as a passerby, annoyed by seeing all of these cats with confusing names and sick ass animations

as a reader/fan, annoyed and/or enraged by the erins' numerous crimes

as a library employee, WHO HAS TO SHELVE A BUNCH OF FUCKING BOOKS THAT ALL LOOK THE EXACT SAME BUT BELONG TO DIFFERENT SERIES BUT ALL OF THEM START WITH "WARRIORS:" AND DID YOU KNOW THERE'S FUCKING WARRIOR CAT GRAPHIC NOVELS? AND WITHIN THOSE NOVELS ARE DIFFERENT SERIES? AND THE ONLY WAY TO TELL WHAT FUCKING SERIES THEY'RE APART OF IS BY READING THE TINY LITTLE SERIES NAME ON THE SPINE?! DO. NOT. GET. ME. STARTED. ON. THE GODDAMN FIELD GUIDES

#👽 < text tag #never have i felt such a unique hatred for the erins #theres another series written by them called survivors which is just like warriors but its dogs i think #and it has the same fucking problem as warriors. not to the same extent but since they're all by the erins they're all together #so its just magnified. god. #i fucking hate the erins. every coworker at my library hates the erins. when i first shelved warriors books i was warned that #''this series is a nightmare to shelve'' #and when i went to shelve them #ALL OF THE FUCKING WARRIORS BOOKS WERE MIXED TOGETHER. AND THE SURVIVORS BOOKS TOO! #SO I HAD TO TAKE ALLLLLLLLLL OF THE FUCKING ERIN HUNTER BOOKS OFF THE SHELF #AND SPEND 40 GODDAMN MINUTES PAINSTAKINGLY CHECKING THE SERIES *SUBTITLES* AND ALPHABETIZING THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!! #**THIS WAS MY SECOND DAY WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**

Song of the Day: December 26

"Decay" by Kxllswxtch

#song of the day #so the other day I said how 'Almost Maybes' was a really cute sweet earnest song? this is not that #it's very fun actually because when the playlist is in its true form (by date-added rather than alphabetical as I've got it now) #they're back to back! I picked them up the same day though from two quite different sources #('kickin country music hits' weekly playlist vs call of duty character-themed playlist. not the same sounds) #I do like having a variety of types of songs on a playlist I think it helps keep my attention #Decay isn't a very long song and it isn't terribly happy but it does make my foot tap something fierce #and I can sing it today!!!! it doesn't have a ton of range but singing is definitely what I'm doing #I'm feeling some better today but I did immediately spend all the energy I'd managed to scrape together on frantically cleaning everything #the last thing I want is for us to just immediately get sick again because we didn't manage to clear out all the bleck

I really want to dance under the moonlight with Finn. I just want him to hold my hips as we just slow dance & just be so madly in love with eachother.

Also what if Finn called us "Bunny" as a nickname?? I dunno just wanted to talk about it because it's been on my mind a lot.

#the cat speaks #yuurivoice #finn yuurivoice #yuurivoice finn #simping #you know I got to talk about my other husband‼️‼️ #i love my long haired husbands 🩷 #also update for the Late Night Call fic #i will be seperating it into 2 parts #the first part will have 4 the second is 3 #all of them being put into alphabetical order of course #because i like doing that but hate it at the same time lol #its a thing #but yeah part one is almost done #im hoping it to finish it before 2024 #part two is going to be finished in 2024 #anyway if you are reading this thank for listening #& thank you for your time 🩷

a celt making fun of gaeilge or cymraeg:

me: HAHA OMG STOP YOURE TOO FUNNY

an english person making fun of gaeilge or cymraeg:

me:

#i hate the english #imagine killing off entire cultures and then years later making fun of those same fucking cultures… #its not that deep but also it is #also if youre an american who does this i hate you more #especially if you’re generations removed from ireland but still cling to that heritage #gaeilge #cymraeg #also the english and americans need to stop pretending that english is the only language that uses the latin alphabet #you look fucking stupid.

[ID: a small square cross stitch of a lowercase alphabet and two birds resembling herons within a simple border. It is stitched in burgundy on tan fabric. /end ID]

drafted, started, and finished today, it's inspired by a pattern i saw in a dream :-)

#cross stitch #xstitch #that skipped stitch on those birds is pulling more than its fair share of weight to make those look like herons im so happy with them <3 #that n the lanky legs. long beak. and shorter tail #super happy with the alphabet except for the k s and z and the ampersand but is what it is for that scale and width #the s works well enough. i couldnt do the style of k i wanted it was too muddy and the z just looks out of place :// #the ampersand is kinda on purpose to balance the spacing of the bottom but it sticks out.. cant fix it tho #maybe i couldve made it shorter idk it is the same height as all the other ascenders sans t #also. i do like when the ts are shorter and the fs are longer <3 they r cute to me
