niche ass post feel free to disregard:

as a linguistics nerd, it’s always fascinating to me how dan and phil both manage to mispronounce so many words but always in a different way to each other. like “consummate” in the most recent dapg vid? dan pronouncing it consjumate/consyoomate and phil pronouncing it conʃumate/conshewmate and neither of them acknowledging they said different words? adding a palatal approximate (/j/ or “ya”) i can excuse kind of but i cannot find a single instance of adding a postalvelar fricative (/ʃ/ or “sh”) being accepted pronunciation. oh to be a fly on the wall in the phouse getting to gather linguistic data on them, then making a corpus of phanology (phorpus, if you will) <3

#jk i would not want to be a fly on the wall in the phouse #if for whatever reason i was ever invited to the phouse i’d say no thank you #dnp #dan and phil #phan #lingblr #linguistics #phanology #convergence #at this point dan and phil use a pidgin version of english only they know #good for them my best friend (who is getting the same degree as phil did) also have our own pidgin #this was the least pretentious way i could write this post btw #be thankful i didn’t write consummate in ipa #i can in the tags i guess #dan: /kɒnsjumeɪt/ #phil: /kɔnʃʊmeɪt/ #that’s my transcription but i also can’t hear lmao so who knows #yeet my deenp #yeet my deet #international phonetic alphabet #ipa

For the first time throughout RnS, I have slightly shifted my opinion from "Tanguish needs to be protected at all costs" to "actually someone needs to talk some sense into this headless chicken of a self preserving punk" and I mean this with so much positivity. I live Tanguish as character a lot because he at a glance is harmless and kind, and while he is pretty sweet, he's also pretty self serving at his core. A survivalist who will use whatever tactics he can to make his life as comfortable as seems feasible. He's just a little guy whom I love, but also needs a bit of insight into other perspectives and I'm so excited for the next chapter.

He's just a little guy! He's just a little guy and he needs people! Needs-- like he needs-- like it's a problem he needs people.

But you're absolutely right! He is trying his best, that's evident. Everyone can sympathize with the idea of loneliness, and of not wanting other people to hurt themselves, and of needing companionship. The issue is when his need for companionship overrides both his ability to be comfortable alone, and everyone else's ability to live their own life. He's really good at figuring out how people work, why they do the stuff they do, and right now he's using it to feed his codependency problems.

But! He's learning.

#answering asks #anonymous #thank you anon #the plot point of 'how do i teach Tanguish codependency is bad and he cant just replace Tango with HK' #has fueled 90% of my rewriting last chapter #as well as how do i justify Helsknight not flying off the handle and punching his poor little face #the answer turned into: put them both in public and Let Them Fight [kaiju music plays] #and then Martyn appeared and i was like. hey wait. i can use you very well i think... #and now i think i know how the next chapters are going #its a hard balance ive been trying to strike keeping everyone in character while still driving the plot forward #we wobbled on the tightrope a bit but were fine now i think #[knocks on wood crossess all my fingers etc etc etc] #rns asks

Genuinely can't understand how people can legitimately say "trying to argue that Crests are powerful and useful and writing Crests as being powerful and useful proves Edelgard right about how people wrongfully fixate on them" when Edelgard herself says she thinks she can only use her signature heavy armor because of Crests (study requests), and when she herself uses a Relic that was made specifically to be compatible with her twin Crests to use in fighting. Nearly her entire visual language as a character relies on her using her Crests, so the people trying to argue this just kinda point out how hypocritical she is lmao

#anti edelgard #anti-edelgard #edelgard critical #edelgard discourse #just to be safe #like we been knew she was but thanks for pointing out one of the biggest examples of that lmao #it's like. you can't simultaneously argue that Crests shouldn't be seen as important or valued to society and that no one needs them #and then go on to try to fundamentally change society by means only available through Crests #EDELGARD disproves her own (supposed) point about Crests being unnecessary more than anyone else does #she can't just turn off her Crests but she can control how she fights #she didn't need to specifically use heavy armor or specifically use Aymr. and yet she does. very readily #she fights in ways that SHE ADMITS are only possible for her because of Crests. but no one needs Crests. except for her. conveniently #like how is this flying over Edelstans' heads lmao. absolute experts at making Edelgard look morally worse than she already does I swear

been thinking 'bout mystery skulls animated recently!!! so, i decided to try my hand at drawing a mr. lewis pepper for the first time!

#my art #mystery skulls animated #lewis pepper #msa lewis #okay well. 'first time' is a bit of a lie; my actual first time was in; like. middle school; i think. #but idk where the hell i put those papers so i guess they're lost to time #either way; pretty happy with this! #his hair absolutely confused me tho. i admit i may have traced the pompadour bit so it would look good;; dkdnsksj #this was mostly just practice to get used to drawing him; mmmmight try again later? #the deadbeat was also hard to draw; suprisingly;; didndkmd #took a few tries to figure out the posing and stuff #was originally two of 'em flying around him; but uhhh #they looked bad iedjkdjsks #happy with this lil guy tho! #also no i don't know what i was doing with the background thanks for asking #anyway. i need to find more msa fics to read. went looking through ao3 and found a couple good ones i liked that i hadn't read before;; #but i need to find moreeeee #unfortunately i can be. very picky with what fics i read; which isn't helpful 😔 #anyway- hope whoever reads this has a good rest of your day!! giving you a cookie -> 🍪

I know you said that you aren't the pinnacle of military knowledge that people think you are but know a damsite more than I do about the US military than I do, so I have a question. Do you have any idea how long the Darkstar project would've been going on for in canon? It can't have been a few months but I also don't know if it would be years and years? I know Mav has an award for being a test pilot that I think is dated 2007 (I may have imagined that) but that doesn't mean the Darkstar project was going on for over ten years? I think the F-18A took 8 years from testing to being approved, so it can't be far off. Just wanted your opinion. Thanks :-)

awright here’s my opinion (not an expert)

the darkstar is canonically a Lockheed Martin “skunk works” (super duper secret) surveillance and reconnaissance (SR) spyplane, as evidenced by the skunk works logo on the vertical stabilizer (left is darkstar, right is me with the SW logo on the SR-71 blackbird at the udvar-hazy museum this summer).

we can look to see how long other SW projects have taken to develop in the past. the SR-71, for instance, was first suggested as an “undetectable spyplane” idea in 1957. the lockheed A-12 oxcart, which would provide the framework for the SR-71, had its first flight in 1962, five years later. the finished SR-71 was introduced into USAF and CIA service in 1966. so a 9-year development for the fastest-ever air-breathing jet, with 4-ish of those years being flight testing (ish because the A-12 had to be heavily adapted into the SR-71 which had its first flight in 1964).

Lockheed’s been teasing its blackbird successor, the unmanned aerial vehicle the SR-72 “son of blackbird,” on its socials recently. i saw someone say: “soft-launching its new death machine like an instagram influencer with a new boyfriend”

leading many to believe this is what happened

note however that the SR-72 son of blackbird is an UNMANNED aerial vehicle (UAV) which is why in my fic I specifically said this

note also that most of aircraft development is just that—development. Flight testing (i.e. where mav would get hands-on involved) doesn’t come until very very late in the development process. For the plot of my fic’s sake I had mav go out to NAWS china lake in 2003, but in TGM during the Hard Deck scene Penny says something to the effect of “you got sent out to the desert three years ago for pissing off that other admiral” and mav goes “that was three years ago? 😀” (cute!) so that’s the longest mav could’ve canonically been involved with the darkstar project. (For my own purposes i made it like a year, for those two sections of the story to neatly flow into each other—from 2015ish to 2016. I know TGM takes place in 2020 [i know but idfc] Maybe LockMart has had this tech [probably not high hypersonic like in the movie] for that long anyway and it’s just been so heavily classified that we didn’t know about it till very recently. Definitely possible.)

#i took a picture of the A-12 oxcart at the intrepid museum in NYC but it’s not a selfie so not posting it #i saw it and i was like ‘uh you’re not supposed to just be able to see these’ #they have the enterprise space shuttle too it was just fucking insane #military aviation #sr-72 #pete maverick mitchell #top gun maverick #edts notes #thank you for the ask! really not an expert but talking about planes is fun for me #the hypersonic race is very interesting… Russia famously has its hypersonic kinzhal missiles and i think CN has them too #but the U.S. has never openly done hypersonics which is why IMO it would be crazy to start off with a manned jet like in TGM #and it’s not clear how useful or effective hypersonic missiles actually are in warfare #* i think I mean specifically air breathing jet hypersonics #obviously icbms and rockets (which fly at hypersonic speeds) are different

wait how did kolya die. im p sure it was a long time ago during one of olya's stalker missions or whatever but i dont know the details. what happened to u funni man

dissolved in the grinder. in the incident where olya lost her eye and sergei got all fucked up. it's depicted in the mill n you can see sergei's scars in that one scene in punch it, punk! and some official art. i think nikita got his neck scar there too. iirc sergei saved olya instead of kolya and nikita (kolya's brother?? i think??) was upset at him for it, which.. understandable but also that's a really fucking hard decision to make.

my thing is we never saw his exact death, and we don't know if olya, sergei, and nikita saw the moment he died either (plus trauma kinda changes memories so they may remember it differently); we only know the aftermath. meanwhile with nikita we saw him get shot and like.. heard / saw his final thoughts in message lost (very underrated song btw i sometimes just go listen to it on loop for a bit). it's extremely unlikely that kolya is alive and is probably just getting attention / spotlight bc yura is becoming more entangled with the stalker lifestyle and therefore closer to both past and present stalkers, but i think it's a funky theory and fun to speculate on. i also just rlly like kolya's design, he feels like he'd be fun to chill with (i know nothing about his personality). if he's actually well and truly dead i won't be too fussed abt it but i like theorising lmao

#rambling #thanks for the ask!! #pafl #parties are for losers #pafl kolya #pafl theories #i'm shaking again #dear god i really need to calm down holy shit #anyway yeah those are my thoughts. mildly incoherent at best but i hope they're fun to read #it is mentioned that nikita had no living family to inform of his death #so that kinda throws a wrench into this #but it's very possible that kolya is believed to be dead but is still alive and just. never appeared for some reason #idk. used it to ditch being a stalker and start anew or smthn. but i'm theorising this on the fly i have no time to think on this #so i will get back to you once that theory has time to cook #also is it olya or olga?? #linguistic differences can be hard sometimes </3

as a tip for my fellow vault hunters skyblock players: this farm works really, really well and is very much worth the price in materials to probably build way more earlygame than i did given the number of valuable things that it outputs (basically every vanilla material that comes from an ore, ender pearls, and a smattering of other things). it was designed by halflight in the vault hunters discord, so give them a shoutout if you use it! it's working really well for me and i figured i'd go ahead and suggest it if you don't lurk there like i do.

#vh talk #now if you can help it DONT buy mega torches like i did but my nearest mushroom fields was annoyingly far away #and i already have to fly a long way to get to ice so it was either waystones or mega torches for me #so i bought mega torches which works just as well as a mushroom fields #my version of the farm for the record hooks up with my drawer system and simple storage instead of using the water elevator #there also may be more efficient ones but as someone who really has no idea how modded mobs work and also failed to even build a squid farm #thank you so much halflight for sharing!
