#polish phrases

[apaethy]

i feel like for a show that has so many different characters that speak wildly different languages, they use way too few hand gestures to communicate. this is why they should’ve had an italian on board.

#1899 #netflix 1899 #LIKE?? #there are sooo many phrases that are just completely incomprehensible #like french and polish characters talking to each other #THAT COULDVE WORKED WITH TWO HAND GESTURES #and it would be more believable #i loooove how they use such a variety of people in the cast and don’t let them just speak english #but it’s starting to be more than i’m willing to suspend my disbelief for #OR MAYBE IM REALLY JUST ITALIAN THAT NEEDS TO SPEAK THROUGH HANDS EVERY TIME #entry

Dusknoir’s therapy services are becoming more widely known. He is not happy about this.

Also: Hey y’all we recently passed 36k words for The Present is a Gift! That’s about 100 pages my guys. After scrapping a few ill-fitting chapters, I’m at about 66.6% of the way done with writing the rough draft of the fic. I’m having lots of fun with it and am hoping to make some teaser comics soon!

#I have so much editing to do my guys #I’m pretty sure I used the phrase ‘(their) eyes widened in realization’ like 6 times in one chapter #admittedly that’s kinda the point of NaNoWriMo— #you write lots of garbage and polish it up later #but Oh My Word do i ever have lots of editing to do #stuff by sofie #the present is a gift au #pmd2 #pmd eos #pmd explorers #pmd sky #pmd #pokémon mystery dungeon #pmd dusknoir #pmd darkrai

Ad astra per aspera

#rolling with difficulty #vr-la rwd #mr-sn rwd #rwd #uhhhh im bad at tagging #anyway ive wanted to draw something with this specific composition for AGES so thanks for the excuse #and also for getting to use that caption #man. i have like a soft spot for that saying cuz its the motto of my sec sch science club #and man i loved that dumb club so much #i was already kinda loving just the 'ship called per aspera' bit but once the whole phrase became relevant? oh boy #unrelated side note but like 4 of my friends from that club later turned out to be specifically trans/nb #(5 if you count myself) #which is. so bloody funny to me #youd think all the queers would end up in theatre or some shit but no! science and math. for some reason #i was like 'i should probably keep polishing this' and then i realised my ipad was at 10% so nevermind. also i have no impulse control #art I made

i will be the first person to stage a przybyszewska play in the gorgeous and proud nation of rio de janeiro, brasil even if it’s the last thing I do

#also if anyone has a pdf version of an english translation I’d be soooo happy if you could send it to me :) #i’m trying to get my hands on a polish translator but it’s been surprisingly difficult? #<- love the way i phrased this. I swear i will not kidnap anyone. unless

People who make the springs on single occupancy bathroom doors? Clearly they want to make piss denial doms humble. It's the only reason they would use such stiff springs that require such force. Nothing compares to needing desperately to pee and putting your weight against a door that smugly holds its ground.

#thanks to eversolewd for phrasing polish

ah yes, transcreation to substitute the expression from the SL to a culturally-adequate phrasing in the TL, here you are again

#this is the most minor of things but i wanna talk about it #so im translating a fic. this is not news #and there's a passage “[character] isn't a crumpled and bloody heap...” #and well. in polish that Doesn't work #because in english it's obvious that the “heap” being referenced here is the character's (mangled) body right? #well the TL doesn't have that. first on the account that “body” and “[the character]” are different grammatical genders <- very minor thing #and also that this turn of phrase is unique to english here <- major thing #so i need to substitute right. something that expresses that the character /isn't/ of a dead body beyond recognition #and here happens the solution: “a crumpled and bloody heap” -> “a pile of bloody bones and muscle” #yay minor problem resolved :D just a thousand and some more words to translate still #the translator demon is up #post anesthetics posts

"la-di-da! or the city toff" posting again: "and if hair oil were abolished / this swell would be demolished" is so funny i think

#the punchline is ''for his hat would not be polished'' #but i am just amused by the phrasing #(demolished.)

#full (working) title is: Polishing the Statue of Liberty: On Tennessee Williams #taken from a phrase he used to describe sex with kip kiernan lol

i think it is probably a sign of the process of healing from the trauma of having every word out of my mouth ripped apart, mocked, and treated as an unforgivable offense warranting Extreme Rage and Vitriol, and having it explained to me in excruciating and hateful detail why my thought processes and basic turns of phrase and the things i thought were worth expressing were stupid worthless gibberish, unbearable to listen to, and the root of everything wrong with society, by redditor-ass faux-intellectuals in my life growing up for being awkwardly phrased/not concise enough/mildly whimsical, that some days i'm proud of my meta and some days i can barely stand to look at it. but god that does not make the second one more fun.

#whosebaby talks #personal stuff #abuse cw #ableism cw #gaslighting cw #it says something that i considered just leaving this in my drafts solely for being an awkwardly phrased; probably hard-to-read run-on #when that is literally what the post is about lol #and i will count it as a victory that i caught myself went fuck that and posted it anyway #it is not morally wrong to speak awkwardly #doing my best to be clear about important distinctions and concepts in the ideas i am expressing is not synonymous with #'sound polished and perfect; sound like a professional lecturer reading off a prepared speech' #'never write a sentence someone may have to reread a couple times; never use a word too many times; never use a cliche turn of phrase' #and it's also not synonymous with 'never express a feeling or use a metaphor; or talk about an idea of any complexity' #'or say things that are Obvious(tm)' #i believe i am good at expressing ideas and the ideas i feel are worth expressing matter. #believing that; so i can do my best to work to live up to it; is an active choice. #i have chosen to believe based on the evidence available to me that i make a hell of a lot more sense than it feels like #on days when the people who have claimed i'm unintelligible in bad faith; because i talk in a way that's easy to *make* unintelligible #if you know where to strike to throw me off and keep me from pulling an idea together #are loud in my ear #but like. it's okay. It is Okay. to express yourself and fucking be awkward about it. #it's okay to be Emotional in a way that's not the Current Acceptable Style. it's okay to use lots of heavy emphasis #it's okay to repeat yourself. it's okay to sound Pretentious(tm) and it's okay to sound 'childish' and it's okay to run on sentences #and a thousand other things. the things you have to say do not matter less for it and you have no less right to attempt it #you're not stupid or unbearable; it's not a waste of people's time to listen or make the effort to understand you #and it's not entitled of you to expect them to damn well try. it is not on you to do all the labor of chewing their food up for them #so they don't have to meet you halfway. you shouldn't have to put up with people being lazy dismissive assholes bc you're at a disadvantage #which like. i say this for myself; but if you're reading these tags and you needed to hear someone say any of it; it's for you too #fuck em. you're allowed to talk.

Okay, not to be Mr Grumbler, Destroyer of Good Fun, Slayer of Children's Smiles, but

to all smut writers: please, please, PLEASE use proper names, while writing anal sex. "Butthole" and "asshole" are totally valid words. "Anus" is on the line, but still acceptable. 'Cause seriously, you have no idea, how much a weird phrasing can kill the flow of a scene.

Signed: person, who two days ago almost ROTFLed to death at an unexpected "pooper" in the middle of a serious sex scene.

#yes it was used unironically #no I won't give the title #I'm not shaming anyone #I could start a whole doc with out of place phrasing in sex scenes btw #in both English and Polish #(sex scenes in Polish literature are usually so fucking bad you can't make this shit up) #writing #Hakanate once said
