#uniques is not a curse

[moshieee]

I freaking love watching people's art styles evolve, develop, refine and grow as they learn and draw overtime!!!

You have no idea how much I love seeing the artists I follow and/or consider friends being proud of their art because sweets you deserve that feeling!!!

you put in so much time and if you ever say you feel bad about your art I will shake you and try to forcibly show you how amazing you are!!!

#this is for all artists too #i love seeing art and i will continue to love seeing it #if you ever feel bad about your art shut up look at how far you have come on your journey #it doesn't matter where others are #you are what matters and your own progress is all due to you efforts #your efforts and strength and beauty #please stop doubting yourself #i am going to hug you (if comfortable) and tell you how beautiful your style is untill you understand #uniques is not a curse #you can leaen from others and their styles but you are your own brand and dont ever feel bad about that #art #artist #art advice #i guess? #moshieee rambles

i designed a sheikah outfit for josha like purah and robbie. they gifted it to her, but josha added the depths elements later because no one tells the president what to do.

i wanted to keep it in line with the modern sheikah's sense of style, with some allusions to their past ninja antics, hence the bandages and assassin's creed hood. all the better to slip out of lookout landing undetected. strict parents make sneaky kids, purah!

still thinking about that stat chart....mhin fight back against the weak allegations omgg

#im a bit flabberghasted #TWO???? 😭 not even three TWO?? #like i feel lied to i thought they were really strong??? are they weak in comparison to the other cast members? that doesnt really make muc #sense though considering their curse unless theyre weak as hell without it which i dont think is true either #only other answer i can think of is that its possibly in relation to other ppl with that same curse??? but that idea assumes that this isnt #something unique to them that this kind of curse is at least semi common which. gives me more questions than answers. #idk maybe this doesnt make sense im just rambling #also unrelated to that specific stat but self-loathing being 5 and wisdom being 1 is really funny #★ my silly text posts #my touchstarved ramblings #my silly theory posts #touchstarved mhin #touchstarved game

Crepus *talking to a sister in the church*: Listen, I have no idea what's up with him. He just woke up and told me he was in pain, I tried to give him medicine but he refused because he said it wouldn't work.

The sister: And you still gave it to him, right?

Crepus: Yeah, of course, he took it himself after I insisted. But after two hours it just got worse, he seems used to it and when I asked him what could've caused it he just...

Kaeya *8 years old, sitting on the bed, visibly in pain and generally annoyed*: IT'S BECAUSE THE ARCHONS HAVE FORSAKEN ME! I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOUUUU!!!

Crepus: Did that...

Kaeya: THERE IS NO CURE! LET ME GO HOME, DILUC SAID WE CAN PLAY PRETEND WHEN I GET HOME!!!

Do you think one could attain decent-ish ability to read Japanese just by studying kanji? Specifically asking because the kanji learnin' service "wanikani" is the single Japanese resource that works best with my brain, but then there are separate resources for grammar and vocab and and and.....

You will get REAAAALLLLLYYY far knowing only the kanji but you're going to have to know hiragana and katakana at some point too. Tofugu, the company that did Wanikani, has two mnemonics-based guides for the kana that are basically Wanikani Lite. They're how I learned the kana and I swear by them.

Here's hiragana: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/

And katakana: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-katakana/

Hiragana are especially vital to learning kanji; you won't be able to use 99% of Japanese-English dictionaries without them. BUT they're pretty easy and the rules for using them are consistent. You won't have to remember any irregular exceptions for any of them.

I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard really good things about the Crystal Hunters manga series as a fun/low stress way to learning Japanese vocab and grammar. It eases the reader into new concepts and then repeats them throughout the chapter so you remember them. There are free vocab and study guides/lists for each chapter too. Might be worth checking out once you get some kanji and the kana under your belt? The first book is also free.

Good luck!!

#asks #Japanese takes like a bajillion hours forever to learn because of the 2200+ kanji lol........... #But it's sooooo consistent grammatically and with the spelling. I love it #Kinda spoiled me tbh. I look at English now and I'm like #'Why can't you be more like this. Why are you such a mess. Get your act together' #And then there's Korean's hangul writing system. It's SO BEAUTIFUL. Actual marvel of linguist engineering #The Japanese lexicon is also a lot smaller than English's too. Which is both a blessing and a curse #Less words = quicker to learn. BUUUUUTTTT less words that mesh well with English. Translation is hard!!! #Holy fuck. Ok so Wikipedia says that the English language has 755`865 words as recorded by Wiktionary #and Japanese has 500`000 according to Nihon Kokugo Daijiten #BUT THEN KOREAN. ACCORDING TO ONLINE DICTIONARY URIMALSAEM (open source dictionary) HAS 1`149`538 WORDS #The biggest lexicon is Tamil's with 1`516`952 unique headwords as recorded by online dictionary Sorkuvai #That's absolutely nuts #I got massively distracted. Enjoy my word vomit tags

one thing i appreciate about the pmd franchise as a whole is that the pokemon choices for the npcs here and there never feel purely conventional. like, in there’s obviously an emphasis on the generation each game came out in (besides pmd1 which pulled equally from all 3 gens at the time i think) but it never feels like they make a beeline for the “popular” pokemon for the sake of it. like looking at the school setting for psmd, yeah a small childish pokemon like pancham that evolved into a dark type makes sense as a bullying student…. but i dont think shelmet was the first pokemon to come to mind as his sidekick. who jumped to make farfetchd a teacher? in gti, why have a dunsparce, a gen 2 mon of all things, as a major character? none of those feel like super popular picks and it honestly makes me appreciate these games a lot for their diversity in choices.

#pmd1 does have more popular picks like gardevoir gengar and alakazam but like. idk i dont count that or see it as a huge deal #or a flaw at all ftr #because pmd1 is a lot more particular about how each pokemon’s unique abilities cater to the story #like alakazam’s IQ and psychic powers come into play with hero #gengars are well… ghosts. and hes the ghost of a cruel human. xatu as a pokemon sees the future #ninetales cursing people with their tails is a staple of its character #and that’s something that unfortunately gets a bit less relevant as the games go on. only a bit tho like the choices still mean something #like nuzleaf is an odd choice for a main antagonist at first glance #until you remember that nuzleaf are based on tengu #so being in a ‘’protective’’ role as heros father figure but also being a trickster devil figure makes a lot of sense #(also shiftry was already a major character in pmd1 djdjdnd) #echoed voice #pmd posting #oh also theres never any gen 1 bias babyyyyyyyyy

i think a lot of the discourse would go away if people simply understood that gay/lesbian/bisexual/etc are not supposed to describe every deeply personal individualized experience but are instead social categories which denote your relationship to different parts of our society

#the need to have your sexuality be different and unique from everyone else's is dumb anyways #individualism is a curse

2024 reads / storygraph

Lord of the Empty Isles

sci-fi/fantasy

set on a supposedly utopian planet recovering from a climate crisis, where bonds between people are able to be seen and manipulated (by some people)

follows a young man whose brother was cursed and killed by an infamous outlaw 5 years ago, and he’s finally able to curse him back - but it rebounds, as he’s somehow fatebound to the outlaw

to find a cure and save them both they have to team up, and he quickly finds out that the resources the outlaw is stealing go to the thousands of people neglected on prison planets, and he has to go against what he thought was right to help them

no romance, aroace MC, focus on platonic relationships

arc from netgalley, out june 6

#Lord of the Empty Isles #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #I enjoyed this quite a bit! But I think it could have gone a bit further in places. #It has some interesting concepts and a great cast of characters and yay no romance #I do have a lot of thoughts and little critiques... #it's p obvious where the plot is going and what's going to happen #There’s clearly a lot gone into developing this bond system but to be honest I still don’t entirely get it? #It seems to emphasise that the bonds just reflect connections between people rather than predetermine anything; but also the plot kind of #hinges on Remy and Idrian having a predetermined bond? There are a lot of explanations of intricacies but a lot of it didn’t sink in idk #It’s promoted as QP but to me it reads as a general platonic relationship. I generally expect a depiction of a QPR to have like.. #some form of acknowledgement/depiction of the form of their relationship being a particular (undefinable?) kind #with some specific level of commitment? I’m being picky maybe they mean queerplatonic themes/vibes rather than saying it’s a qpr #specifically. the centred platonic relationship is good! it doesn't seem like a qpr to me; at most what could one day be that #also things are solved quite quickly and easily in the end - both the curse and the downfall of the bad guy. #I feared it would go down the route of blaming things on the person in charge rather than emphasising systemic issues which it kinda does…. #It’s impossible to ignore right now just how deeply people are willing to believe dehumanising propaganda - and how 'telling the truth' #and exposing the person in power as bad doesn’t actually do anything so that happening here made me go…… oh okay. well. #there is room for a sequel that maybe will explore this tho. idk #complaints aside - I do recommend this! It was fun and pretty unique. #aroace books #no romance

I'm so glad Pirates SMP invited Puffy, if they hadn't I would've felt so cheated

Now all I need is for Captainsparklez to show up for a cameo as an important character

#coming from someone who only knew Puffy from dsmp back in the day and doesn't know anything about her as a cc #same with captainsparkles #all i know about him is the captain's mcc curse and how apparently he could fit white diamond's role in gemcyt #which is interesting to me #sparkles could interact with puffy but imo it's not necessary #it would be awesome though #i really want puffy to make lore for pirates smp #if she doesn't get a uniquely cool or angsty moment I'll be so sad #I need it for my imaginary ship in a bottle animatic #pirates smp #psmp #captainpuffy #psmp captainpuffy #captainsparklez

i just noticed that daniel started hanging out a bit with oscar after austin, and knowing now that he drew him for secret santa i wonder if he was sussing him out to get him a nice present

he was very considerate last year with esteban, i wouldnt be surprised if he wanted to be nice with oscar too

ngl I’ve really enjoyed seeing Daniel and Oscar interacting, especially when even now, certain people and the press like to still pit them as enemies or whatever.

Obviously Daniel and Oscar knew each other from their Renault days and I’m glad Daniel made that first step to reach out to Oscar when I’m sure he was aware that Oscar might not be comfortable to reach out after everything’s that happened.

And Daniel LOVES his Aussie/kiwi people. He loves being surrounded by them and will always gather them around him, whether it’s Jack or Liam or Oscar now and Brendon back in the day.

#the funny thing is I’m sure Daniel finds Oscar hella hilarious #Oscar will say something in his unique deadpan way and Daniel will be rolling on the floor doing his silent laughter thing #that’s exactly the kind of guy he finds funny #except both of them seem to be under some kind of Aussie specific curse #like these people from down under have the shittiest luck #anon.txt
