sokka will say something literally correct, but his friends will disagree and then clown on him mercilessly for saying that (true) thing, and then even when he ultimately proven unambiguously right, everyone can only remember how relentlessly he got clowned on. which is actually a perfect representation of having younger siblings, no notes

#sokka #my brothers will literally mock me for saying something factually true if it conflicts with their preconceived (false) notions in any way #however small! #the other day it was because i (correctly) claimed that the latin word for forest is silva! for example #i canot escape their mockery #and even when i prove to them that im right they’re like ‘no. you’re not’ #me 🤝 sokka #the eternal torment of being surrounded by the worlds most stubborn children

EVEN MORE CUTE DOTTORE MOMENTS TO MAKE YOU SMILE 🙏 (because I am too tired to post anything of quality)

#smooches talks #ouhhhh... to experience the domestic life with him... #someone motivate me to start writing actual fics again... #the dottore honeymoon fic merely has the title “medicus scriptor amorem” and “Honeymoon fic” in the actual document LMFAO #i made it on... january 27 oops #idek if im gonna stick to that name because google translate for latin is so bad omfg #(TO THAT KIND PERSON WHO SENT ME IDEAS ILY AND I PROMISE I WILL RESPOND. I PROMISE IM NOT IGNORING U) #i also have another wip i havent touched with loving the harbingers when they weren't in the fatui yet #no like seriously i think churning out 50k words did something to my writing state 💀🙏 #a snippet from dottores part: Il Dottore’s strength was nearly unmatched in the Fatui being the Second Fatui Harbinger and all. #what most people do not know is that he was… certainly not the best fighter during his Akademiya days. #A claymore was also out of the question - he grumbled when he had to lug his numerous research materials and parts to the desert… #In the end you settled on teaching Zandik the basics of a sword. do with this as you will... #however i am still so proud of myself for fabulam diu oblitus #i was rereading in class bc i was bored and i was like #damn i kinda ate with this #thanks for listening to smooches mini writing life crisis if u made it here #okay i go sleep now... i have midterms this week #OMFG THESE TAGS R SO LONG IM SO SORRY

My 3 little cousins were baptized today. "Triggered" is kind of a strong word but being in a catholic church again... I'm a little fragile rn ngl.

#butch speaks #it was hard not to shake as i held J over the basin to have the water poured on his head #when he was cleansed of sin. as if a little kid could ever knowly or intentionally offend a so-called loving god #the words came naturally to me #but they meant nothing #i remember when they used to mean something. when i begged gods forgiveness for my sin (being a lesbian) and tried to pray the gay away #i remember how much i wanted to die bc i could never truly embrace the sacred #i STILL deal with the complex of catholic guilt. its a very real thing. its hard to shake #i cant help but wonder if the catholicism ingrained in my brain is why i have a hard time with casual dating n sex #fun fact: there was a point when i was a teen that i got REALLY catholic #i prayed everyday. i talked to my patrin saint (st agnes) every day. i wantsd to become a nun #the thought of marrying a man mad me more sad than feeling like an alien did. so id marry the church as a nun. #not the way to hide being a dyke when ur fam is catholic btw LMAO #the first priest i knew was father joe. i loved that guy. he was so kind. friendly. briming with love. #he was one of my biggest references for what a good person was like #he talked about gods love a lot. how its for everyone. no one is exluded. ever. #he used to look right at me when he said stuff like that. a few other kids too. all of whom grew up to be queer #then father joe passed away. our church merged with another church. father jeff was the priest there. #he was kind but not as kind. he talked about hell and sin more. he looked at the same kids father joe did. #but the kindness in his eyes wasnt there. #that wasnt for us. #my family wasnt even THAT catholic #i went to church every sunday i did vacation bible school and catechism classes and youth group #i was an altar servant and in the choir #i even used to speak/understand a little latin #imagine how much worse id have been if my mom could have afforded catholic school lmao #grateful to have grown up poor in that regard #hm. actually... reading my own tags. mayne we were pretty catholic actually. #fucking hell. #i need to have lesbian sex in a church before god and everyone. mayeb that would fix me.

I have my iron supplements at work and yesterday I had three left so I told my colleague I was taking the antepenultimo one he said that’s not a word we used I said but I do because I’m a #linguist <3

#we mostly use it when we talk about the third syllable from the end of a Latin word is stressed #I mean in reality in any language unstressed or not too but I’ve mostly seen it in that context #snicksnack #I’ve had a few linguist moments recently in general #yesterday because I thought I saw art related to il placito capuano (it was not it was math lmao) #and the other day when I was like what is this prescriptivist and my colleague said lol Ida just knew that word and I said oh… #✌🏻

Byleth is interminatum and you may quote me on that

#fe3h #byleth eisner #the enlightened one #i learnt this term two days ago in class and i'm obsessed with it i'll explain why #also i have no idea if 'interminatum' is the right form of the word but well there's a reason i stopped latin class

différend : nm. désaccord causé par un opposition d'opinions ou d'intérêts entre des personnes.

ex : Le différend politique entre sa mère et son père amplifie les tensions au sein de la famille.

5/10

disagreement : the act, state or fact of disagreement; a difference of opinion.

Don't confuse it with the adjective différent!

Historically, it's a variation of différent, which comes from the verb différer, which was itself borrowed from the Latin form differens.

#i love etymology so much man #can you tell yet? #it's so underrated #french isn't that interesting because it's all greek or latin with some english sprinkles #germanic languages tend to be much more interesting #no i swear #i'm omw to lose my mind because of language studies #anyways tag time! #différend #french #french vocab #main #french vocabulary #french words #daily french word #having a blondie moment she's so much fun to listen to #have a good day

Also wrt translations can I also say that the way yolland starts jumping up and down and yelling in excitement and acting like he's at a party when he recognises one (1) extremely basic word in irish is sooo accurate to how you feel when you've just started learning a language and hear a native speaker say a word you've learned

#me in mass the other day when they said a word in latin I knew fr #translations #jory.txt

[minglana]

like im not even asking for a core class.... like even 1 hour a week of each language would suffice for the bare bones basics of latin and greek that imo any science major should know.....

#like even if ur not gonna use it in ur day to day work life. it would at least be helpful in university.... #like again. god knows it wouldve been helpful for me to know more than basic roots and words in latin for botany...... #z xarre

Anyway, tune in next time on my lettuce fuelled mental breakdown when I explain that, no, the Latin translation of the Kahun fragment is wrong again, and Horus (probably*) did not bring Set back to his house with him and then explain why he was there to his mother by saying: “What shall I do? Set came to sodomize me."

*The thing about him explaining the situation that way is definitely wrong, he used a euphemism instead. The thing about Set going back to his house with him is unclear (there’s a big hole in that part of the papyrus, the plural pronoun that the latin translation seemed to assign to a verb was actually attached to a noun instead, there’s some other stuff going on in the original that might make it safer to assume he went alone or that might not, etc.)

#ancient egypt stuff #Ava has thoughts #What I’m curious about with this is what exactly lead Francis Llewellyn Griffith to translate that line the way he did #with ‘twice beautiful’ it was a lot more clear where the translation wackiness came in but here it is less so #Because interestingly the euphemism Horus uses in the original fragment was also used as euphemism for sex in the Torah #And because it was in the Bible I believe it is now coming back into fashion #So in the modern day it would be possible to translate what Horus said literally and people would still get it #But this translation is over 100 years old so they couldn’t do that because the euphemism wouldn’t be understood by the public #But that does not explain to me why he specifically chose to use paedicatum #Like maybe he thought that the word wasn’t a euphemism and was a new word they hadn’t found before that specified that type of sex? #But the euphemism word is a very common verb just with a different determinative at the end #I don’t know much about Latin so maybe specifying something like that just sounds more natural in Latin #But in English. Oh boy. #Heru #Aset #Sutekh #the latin incident

Me when an article says that “stud” is for “Black and Latinx(sic) lesbians”: 

#repeat after me ye idiots: stud=BLACK masc lesbians!!! #not 'also latines' unless you are afrolatine ofc 😘 #but latine doesn't inherently mean black so stop trying to lump ALL latines under the stud umbrella #and let black lesbians have something to ourselves #the only latines who are included under the stud label are BLACK LATINES!!! #it is not a 'black or latinx(and yes they really did use that fucking word urrggh)' label! #get it through your damn heads your anti-blackness and misogynoir truly knows no bounds bitches!!! #and learn your lesbian history #goddamn it you're making me tired #no non-black latines are not studs fhtightei ballsack brains #i hope you have a nice day and die slowly #and also quit using the term latinx #it ain't a thing and it's literally unpronounceable in spanish cut it out #i already don't take you seriously when you say it but then you have to add anti-blackness to it too like no siree #bffr #op

the use of latin in the 100dmv series is like. cool. fun. a practical way for me to use my latin classes that i suck at. however everyday i worry for the day legs tries to use the words "book" or "free" because minecraft doesn't support macrons and without the macron those are the same word.

#100 days multiverse #yeah sure i guess i'll maintag this #legundo this is your warning if you want to use either of those words #though i assume you probably speak a bit of latin/know someone who does so you probably know this #also like. they conjugate differently #because one of these words is an adjective and the other is a noun #but like. regardless #im making a haha funny

You know that Danny Phantom AU where after making Dani, Vlad decides he actually wants to be a good dad and adopts her? Imagine that version of Dani singing My Dad Is Rich by Danny Gonzalez :)

#danny phantom #dani phantom #vlad masters #what the fuck is this au called wait- #good dad vlad #maybe???? #fuck #danny phantom au #dp au #danny gonzalez #this is by far not my best worded text post #but I fried my brain with Scooby Doo video essays and latin homework for most of the day #so you can't blame me
