Taking the train is so fucking great! I've barely been on it for 30min and I've already seen a bunch of geese and deer and a heron!

#Love that it's called heron in English it sounds so noble. the German word is 'Reiher' #and the verb 'reihern' means 'to throw up' #also this is the connection that goes through the Oberpfalz and Vogtland and I love that connection #just gorgeous views from the train #also I'm not taking the Oberpfalzbahn but if I was that would also mean the occasional announcement in czech which is also fun #still fascinated that regional trains can do that and even throw in English for good measure but for some reason for the db #this is fully beyond their abilities in a eurocity #like the Oberpfalzbahn doesn't even cross the border at any point the EC starts to get operated by db in Děčín #and then you get one more professional pre-recorded čd message and then it jumps straight into #'Sehrgeehrtedamenundherren Ichheißesieherzlichwillkommenimec174richtungberlinviadresden #Dasteamderdeutschenbahnwünschtihneneineangenehmefahrt' with pauses only to breathe and enough background noise to make it #completely incomprehensible #in the certified db announcement cadence #you know the one

For the fic meme thing maybe some angst like Lilia protecting an injured silver maybe?

[✐meme] three sentence fic meme

As a soldier, there are certain limits to compassion on the battlefield. A moment's pause of sympathy could mean the difference between survival and a falchion in the throat, the choice to defend a companion gravely wounded bearing the cost of two lives instead of only one. Lilia has grieved this lesson in the blood of the dearest friends unsalvageable, forged it in the hardness of his battle-weary furnace heart; in wartime, duty can be all that matters.

( "Nothing else but Malleus' safety can be of importance when you're protecting the prince. Should anyone other than him be harmed, even yourself, you are to never waver in your duties— that is what it means to be his knight. Do you understand, Silver?" )

He has spent over five hundred years upholding the rules of war; one does not become Briar Valley's most celebrated General in acts of kindness and salvation. He has allowed the deaths of countless fellow fae standing by his side because he knew he could not save them, no matter how they may have screamed and pleaded otherwise. He is not some fledgling thrown into a world he does not understand, he knows how the game is played, the sacrifices that must be made.

So how is it, that as his son, his one and only darling, dearest son, crumples to the ground from a vicious strike of blinding viridescent lightning, Lilia finds his body and mind acting as one despite centuries of discipline to propel his limbs forward with a fear the likes of which he's never known?

Malleus still rages blindly before them, the shouts and desperate commands of those who had foolishly come to help echoing dimly above his head, but Lilia's awareness has been reduced to a wide expanse of Silver's torso that's been horrifically burnt away by the lightning bolt, the colors of his skin wrong and flesh mangled with melted uniform as an ugly stench begins to build in the air between them. And the boy, the blessed sweet child, is trying to fight against what must be a howling pain to fulfill his wretched father's ridiculous guidance, teeth clenched to stifle whimpers that pierce Lilia through the gut as if each one had been specifically designed to maim him in the worst way possible.

Lilia has never once turned his back in battle, but he falls over his son now, heedless of the streaks of colored lights crisscrossing the sky as spells are cast uselessly against the thick hide of dragon scales. His boy, his child, is lying injured in his arms, and Lilia has not one drop of magic to heal him.

"F—Father, you have to— Malleus-sama—"

"I'm afraid I will have to beg the prince's forgiveness, but to lose two family members in one day is simply something I cannot allow!"

It's only fitting then that he becomes Silver's shield while Kalim takes one look at the expression on his face and shouts desperately for help, altering the course of their battle as he's forced their friends to choose between the saving of their own. Only fitting that for Silver, for his chosen human child, he throws away the most callous of rules that had allowed him victory over the boy's kin.

Lilia's always known he'd go to war for this child; now, he supposes he'd stop one for him too.

#twisted wonderland #twst spoilers #twisted wonderland silver #twst silver #lilia vanrouge #twst lilia #lettie's asks #lettie writes #the way i had teardrop by massive attack on repeat for this #'love is a verb love is a doing word' #ITS THEM UR HONOR #none of these have been three sentences who am i fooling anymore

I just started learning Thai so I’m interested. What is the difference between jing and jingjing? On your tags about favorite Thai words

oh! so in Thai, repeating an adjective turns it into an adverb.

in this case, jing is an adjective that means true or real or honest, and jingjing is an adverb that means really, trully, honestly. they're just my favourite Thai words because I like the way they sound lol.

my other favourite is ning, which doesn't have a perfect English translation but that you might recognise from My Engineer. it means cool as in (a person who is) cold, distant, or aloof, or alternatively calm and self-controlled. it's often used sarcastically when describing other people. ningning is an adverb that means something like carefully or calmly - you hear people saying "ningning!" to tell someone to calm down or take more care. kind of like "chill out!" in English lol. I like these because their English translations are so interesting! and because of RamKing and ai'Ning, obviously.

#oooh thank u i love talking about language! #also just to cover all bases - #an adjective is a descriptive word that describes nouns (nouns are things - including people places and concepts) #and an adverb describes verbs (which are 'doing words' that show the action in a sentence) #for example. 'she is careful'. careful is an adjective describing the 'she' in this sentence. #'she walked carefully'. carefully is an adverb describing how the action of walking took place. #adverbs in english usually end in -ly so that helps with identifying them #sorry if this is incredibly obvious #linguistics is one of those things that's been a special interest for so long that i genuinely have no baseline for what is common knowledg #darcey.txt #ask #darcey.lang #linguistics posting

it took me four straight hours but I have FINISHED the draft for the phonological grammar for dathomiri and boy HOWDY do I want to keel over and die

#i should establish that it’s not my fault I had to do this all in one day #I’ve just been That Sick and now my life is a game of catch up #even with the paper extension I got #it’s a shame too bc I would have loved to do more with it than a stress system some phonotactics and a few rules for fun #this is the stuff I LIKE this is the stuff I’ve actually STUDIED #like the grammar won’t be HORRIBLE but I’m not going to try to do anything crazy with it #bc I just. don’t really care about grammar as much #I’ll do. idk a pe’alim system for verbs and some interesting stuff with gender and pronouns for the worldbuilding #but it’s just not my jam the way this stuff is #willow’s life #anyways. I’ll put the draft up later if anyone wants to see it #it’s a lot of the same stuff from the phonetic inventory just with the phonotactics and stress system and a new vowel harmony rule #willow makes some words

i need smth other than duolingo to make me do spanish exercises daily TBH because 1. i know way more than this i just haven’t gotten very far because the ads piss me off insanely 2. if i’m immediately punished for getting something wrong with an explanation being paywalled and an encouragement on being fast i’m not going to learn very well from my mistakes. duolingo is honestly super annoying it’s just nice on account of being accessible esp. from my phone

#you know what i’d really love to practice is verb tenses but duolingo in their infinite genius #doesnt teach grammar first. as if thats not like the most important thing in an unfamiliar language #because spanish words especially as an english speaker aren’t usually difficult but remembering how to use them #in a coherent sentence can be -__- #txt #i’ll probably just find like a textbook or something i can work through IDK. i wish i could take a class but my college has one (1) #spanish teacher and i have heard people do not like him… and like. there’s nothing worse than a mean language teacher

[trans-shuichisaihara]

seeing you for the first time

The night is silent, save for the hum of a heater in the corner of the room. Kyouko's feet glide across the floor, leading her to the living room. The house, though unfamiliar, yields to her desire to keep her presence hidden, floorboards refusing to creak regardless of where each footfall lands.

On the couch, she sees her. The sharp-eyed false fashionista, one Enoshima Junko that in actuality was Ikusaba Mukuro. The disguise could no longer conceal that knowledge from Kyouko now that the box had been opened, yet it remained as proof of the other girl's fear of rejection if she were to discard the persona she'd built up in the past month.

Mukuro doesn't notice her, not yet. Though usually alert and on guard, tonight the weight of recent events was evident on her face. Kyouko found herself curious, idly flipping through the various expressions she'd seen on Mukuro's face in her mind, each one more unique than the last. During the Killing Game, her face had always been tight with false cheer, false frustration, false sorrow. Yet, as each minute passed and they drew farther and farther from the school that had been their prison, her emotions had become more genuine, hadn't they.

There are still too many questions. Those very questions were what pulled her from her bed, mind spinning with thoughts. Somehow, she both believed and doubted that if she asked Mukuro for answers, she would receive them. The conflicting beliefs battle, keeping her in the shadows as she watches Mukuro shift uneasily. She wonders if she can feel the weight of her gaze, if those soldier instincts regard her thirst for knowledge as a threat.

It's not often that Kyouko finds herself so indecisive. Yet, she can't seem to pinpoint how to feel about Mukuro. It was a fact that she was an ally. It was a fact that she was originally on the side of the mastermind. It was a fact that she had slit the throat of the face she now wore to dress herself up as a sheep when she truly was a wolf underneath the wig, fake nails, and makeup. It was a fact that she'd wept with shock and grief and had tried to run away from her crime.

A crime of passion can be a terrifying thing. Unpredictable, emotional, raw, impulsive destruction that can't be taken back. But it wasn't exclusive to Mukuro; the Killing Game had brought out the worst in them all. Though it was murder regardless, her killing of the mastermind at least freed them from the game, even if it came after half of them had already perished.

No, it's too soon to pass judgment. Besides, it's not as if that was Kyouko's role to play; she is a detective, first and foremost. She deals in facts, and the fact was that there were layers to this story that ran deeper than any of them had yet to understand. Whether Mukuro turned out to be friend or foe, well, she would keep her close. Warily, and at arm's length from her heart and her back, but close nonetheless.

#mukugiri #kirisaba #mukuro ibukasa #kyoko kirigiri #dr1 #dr #my post #fanfic #dr spoilers #tragedy au #loosely at least #since that's my mukuro lives au as well #but this is mainly just something i wrote without thinking too much about it #i do love writing mukugiri tho #also sorry the verb tense goes back and forth between present and past #i just picked whatever words sounded right and didn't want to edit to fit one tense LOL

#terrible day otherwise for unmentioned reasons but i got to learn italian some more! #my favoritest little book ever i am enjoying it so much. its very fun #personally i hate that i can't simply take the book and feed it into my brain and then i just know. but its alright #some of the words and the irregular verbs' conjugations do mess me up but its alright! im having fun #also i can make simple sentences very easily now! i don't know nearly enough conversational phrases though. #i hope to learn more day-to-day speech once im done with this book and its 500+ pages but for now i think im on a good path #its very fun! the different rules are very fascinating to me even if they get confusing at first #i love that you conjugate verbs according to subject/object i love it. i love the different ways to say ''the'' i love that you can form - #- the same sentence in many ways i love that the general order for sentences can be broken without changing much of anything i love it. #it is very interesting to me #i also really enjoy that there are three different state pronouns go into! #io me mi tu te ti lei le la etc... my bestest friends #''bestest friends''<-they mess me up and force me to think for a second #nonetheless i am having a lot of fun. i wish i had super-speed so i could learn all of this instantly #oh i do have to go back to check vocabularies though... very unfortunate that i can't keep all the words in my head at all times #🌙rambling

I want to teach Shu Itsuki Croatian, he'd love the word "izrod"

#how do i explain this word... its root is ''rod'' which means ''family/species'' and ''roditi'' which means ''to birth'' #but the prefix iz- tends to mean ''out'' or ''too much'' #it has a verb - izroditi - which means ''to become worse than one's ancestors / to ruin yourself and your family'' #and izrod as a noun has the definition ''a corrupted member of the species'' #i just KNOW he'd love this word i know it.

[backwardblackbyrd]

so! i'm reading a lot of theory lately :) which makes me very happy!

but also...i haven't read this much theory since college and i DID forget how much social theorists love to just fuckin make up words

#add de- in front of it! #add an -ization on the back of it! #any word can be a verb :) any! word! #contratrajectories is not a word lmao deterritorialization isn't a word mama!! #i do genuinely say this with love in my heart lmao sometimes there's really not language to accurately describe #the lived realities and complex intricacies and histories and fullness of human experience particularly when you're dealing #with systems of oppression #so like yes ofc we can just mash words together it's fine i luv u #but also....invisiblized is not a word!!!!!

3 for the ask meme!

questions for fic writers

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

Ok so I had to crowdsource an answer for this one because I know nothing about myself or my writing, I just slap words on a page and hope for the best. Apparently, my characteristic tropes and details include 'natural, easygoing dialogue, vivid description, good use of especially metaphor and similes but also of literary devices in general', which is great news for me, because I don't know what literary devices I use :)

(My actually personal answer is that I think my writing feels round. Hope this helps 👍)

#ask games #good luck deciphering what round means even i dont know #look i got the required gcse in english and then i stopped studying it #i had to ask oscar to remind me what the difference is between a noun and a verb the other day i am NOT kidding #i fucking love words and i Do Not Understand Them #i operate on vibes only

[arwainian]

figured out what was bugging me about someone saying they were skeptical of the queer theory term homonormativity bc it felt to them like it was saying if something is "homonormative" then its the wrong way to be queer, and that they felt "there is no wrong way to be queer"

its thats in my understanding, the critique implicit to calling something homonormative IS about saying there's no wrong way to be queer! bc homonormativity has a very strict idea about the right way to be gay: the right way to be gay is to be as similar to heterosexuality and its structures as possible

pointing out homonormativity, to me, is about saying we do not have to assimilate into the institutions of hegemonic cisheterosexuality. ie: dont fall into the trap of thinking there is a right way to be queer

#arwainian princessoid decrees #i was about to make a much angrier post about this discord server encounter #but then i had a change of heart and deleted it #but now i've let it percolate for a while and this is i think the better insight to draw from the frustrating interaction #look ma i'm doing queer theory #and side note to this: i literally would love to get gay married on day #the ceremony is appealing to me #but yknow theres still homonormativity baked into that sort of thing #if that makes sense? #its not bad that i as an individual want to get gay married #but joining the marriage institution has some inherent ideas about like love and property and the state baked in #that homonormativity as an idea can point out #wanting to get gay married does not make me less queer #its like that thing about like. stop seeing feminism as an identity and start seeing different actions as feminist or not instead #there's queer the identity category #and then queer the verb #i keep adding TAGS TO THIS bc i keep having more to say #please take my words with a grain of salt i only learned what homonormativity was this past year #i am not an expert on queer theory #and this is my baby academic idea of if

mutual gets into something I don’t know anything about and I see a word associated with it too many times without bothering to look into it so it just makes me irrationally angry and I mute the tag incident: nobody dead or injured but what kind of loser does that I should at least try to understand my friends’ interests before I decide those interests annoy me

oops I put 70% of the post in the tags

#sorry if you figure out this post is about you it’s not very subtle #i get annoyed when I see a word a bunch in contexts that I do not find interesting whatsoever #like I love learning words via context clues and then implementing them into my vocabulary #but only if it’s a fun word or a very specific adjective or verb im all for it #but idk when I see a noun over and over context is inherently harder to parse #and it’s not a new tool I can use in communication it’s just a new thing #and if I already don’t care about that thing why would I ever communicate about it in the first place #this is definitely just a rationalization of what is probably just an irrational behavior #I’d rather not get annoyed with random new words but if I see it enough and have deemed it to be something I’m not interested in #and thus don’t learn the meaning of #i will systemically remove it from my life forever #i don’t like going ‘oh my god what the fuck is that I’m gonna look it up now’ #i have to a: already know things or b: figure them out myself #if I have to use external tools my sense of self worth will shatter #and thus anything I see enough I have to look up has to simply not exist
