Boundaries and general info:
Iβm 24 years old, German/Australian and Asexual, Aromantic and Agender/Gendervoid!
I give zero shits about my gender, use whatever phrases and pronouns you want for me!
Please do not sexualise me or make jokes about me being into someone sexually if I donβt know you (mutuals get more of a pass to joke about this one, Iβll tell you if Iβm uncomfortable)
Empty blogs that follow me get blocked, unless they state that they just follow from a main they donβt use. I donβt like having empty followers, sorry.
I am fine with playful insults and banter, especially if weβve talked before! Iβm okay with die jokes addressed at me if weβve talked before or you make it obvious youβre joking.
Feel free to send me asks if you just wanna say hi or chat about something! Or even just to infodump about a shared interest!
My DMs are open! Just donβt be weird please (well you can be a little weird, as a treat, but donβt be creeping on me, ya know?)
If you follow me and need me to tag something I can do that! I tend to organisationally tag most things anyway! I might forgot though if you ask on anon, so feel free to remind me!
Feel free to tag me in things! Iβll reply/reblog if I feel like it but Iβm always happy to get tagged because you thought of me or something :D
If youβre ever wondering how to interpret my tone please imagine a very affectionate golden retriever saying it by default!
Iβve been on tumblr since 2016! If you have any questions about how tumblr works I have, like, a 55% chance of knowing the answer so feel free to ask!
I use gendered terms like girl, dude, bro, guy, maβam, sir, king, etc. pretty interchangeably as just phrases. They hold no gender to me so I donβt tend to register that I used them. If I call you smth and you donβt want me to, pls let me know!

do you have one or more fanfictions that you keep rereading (for whatever reason)?
yes, and i will tell you all about it in the tags
no
it's complicated
Remaining time: 6 days 22 hours
i wonder if the way people reread their favourite books, or passages from their favourite books, is also reflected in fanfic culture. it feels so much more one and done to me (maybe bc you don't need to purchase them to read them?), but then again, i might be wrong

This is a very charming illustration and I do approve of Accidental Latin, but unfortunately, that is not what this (Fake) Accidental Latin actually says. Google Translate seems to think "temu" is identical to "timor" (infinitive, "to fear"), which would then be conjugated in first-person singular as "timeo" ("I fear"). "Temu" is not a word in Latin. So that is a very weird leap on Google Translate's part to turn gibberish into... something vaguely etymologically similar sounding? Hmm.
Next, "die" does mean "day," though nominative singular is "dies," i.e. "dies irae." It could be conjugated "die" if it was in ablative or locative case, but "die ad die" would mean something more like "day to day." "Ad" is in a "to" direction and "ab" is from, i.e. "ab urbis," and ablative case is used to indicate the movement of a thing. In short, "by" is not really a way to translate "ad"; we might want "per" here? (Through, by means of, etc.)
Not to mention, it would be weird to put one "die" at the start and another at the end The verb also usually goes at the end in Latin sentences, just for that extra bit of fun. So yes, in short, this is not actually Latin, and Google Translate is very bad at Latin in particular. Nonetheless, still charming.
Agree, @qqueenofhades, except on the matter of breaking βdie ad dieβ apart. Itβs a common structure in poetic and oratorical Latin to jam one phrase in the middle of another. I canβt think of an example exactly parallel to this construction, but I could believe a Roman poet would write it!
Ah, that is true. My Latin is of the reading-medieval-documents (particularly charters and/or chronicles) variety, where the sentence and usage structures are often more formulaic and there is less poetic license to move words around. There is obviously far less fixity for word order in Latin, since the conjugations explain how they grammatically relate to each other rather than placement in the sentence. (Coincidentally, this is why I used to say that the best feeling in the world was walking past a Latin classroom and not having to go inside it. Ahem.)
So yes: true that poetical Latin might be more at liberty to split the "die"-s up that far, though "timeo" (verb) is still more likely in most cases to go at the end, which would place them together anyway ("die ad die timeo," "day to day I fear" if translated in strict word order, which would make sense to an English speaker and sound more poetic anyway). Keep in mind, however, that my Latin is a) fairly rusty and b) mostly used for said formulaic legal document reading rather than freeform verse, so don't super-hard quote me on this.
I saw that ablative βdieβ and that final -u on βtemuβ and thought of the ablative supine (as in βmirabile dictuβ) but as you observe, there isnβt a verb that βtemuβ could be, and then also, the ablative supine requires an adjective, as far as I know.
But perhaps βtemuβ is a hapax legomenon (in which case we would need the rest of the text to gloss it) or a scribal error for temeratu, from temero, βI defile or disgraceβ. In that case, and in true Tumblr form, I might translate it as βdaily I disgrace, in the manner of the dayβ, with some errors attributable to the scribe.
....oh my god. You might be a genius. Because what else does Tumblr do but daily disgrace [itself, oneself, and/or numerous others] in the manner of the day, and make numerous scribal errors.
undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts.

This is called a fault tree. You will always know how to act if your fault tree captures all possible scenarios. In NASA Mission Control during mission critical events like landings there are huge binders with fault tree protocols, kind of like choose your own adventure books except youβre not the one making the choices, the universe is making them for you and youβre just trying to keep up.
The engineers who develop fault trees, I am told, often imagine new ways for their precious spacecraft to die (new branches on the fault trees) either while in the shower or lying awake at 3am, because human
Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I donβt get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably donβt have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.

An interesting game where you are presented with 10 artifacts from the MET. You have to place where the artifact is from and what time period it is from. Each artifact scores up to 10,000 points, and you lose points the further away your guess is and how far off in time you are. You can only play once a day. Thanks to @baebeylik for showing this to me.
Today I scored really well. Yesterday ... not so much.

Love the moment in System Collapse when Ratthi makes a joke about round hatches being scarier than square ones, SecUnit decides to fact check this by searching its entire media library for scary things coming out of doors and doing statistical analysis on the shape of the doors and discovers he's right, and ART goes "You wasted processing space on that?" And then ART gets sucked into participating in the inane conversation within seconds.
