Trying to get people to understand that when I say "girl what" or "girl help" I am using girl in the exact same way I use dude. No gender just vibes. I said "girl just move" about Batman the other day
Like obviously if anybody is uncomfortable with being called girl or dude or king or any other traditionally gendered words I absolutely will not refer to them that way but. Girl is not referring to a woman inherently girl is like a brother to me

i love it actually when nonnative speakers make mistakes that reveal how their native languages work.
lots of koreans online say they "eat" drinks which would assume they only have one word which covers the concept of consumption.
arabic immigrants in sweden (my mother included) have a hard time differentiating between "i think/i believe/my opinion is" which suggests that in arabic these different modalities of speaker agency is treated as one or at least interchangeable.
swedish speakers in english will use should/shall/have to/must with much higher nuance precision than native english speakers, to the point where they sound well awkward, because the distinction between these commands in swedish is much clearer than in english. i make mistakes between is/am/are and has/have constantly because swedish only has one pronoun covering all grammatical persons.
i've heard speakers of languages without gendered pronouns (finnish, the chinese dialects, and a tonne more) make he/she mistakes because it's hard(!!) to learn two or more gendered pronouns and when to use them correctly.
how neat is that?! it add a charm to international english usage in particular and make our appreciation of both our native languages and our learnt ones stronger...!!
i love this! one thing i notice with a lot of people (native speakers of polish, romanian, french and others) is no differentiation between present simple (i go) and present continuous (I am going), because those languages only have one present tense to cover both. it's so lovely every time i hear it
i always think one of the most fun things about learning languages is that it teaches you how weird your own is! especially english phrasal verbs (the very different meanings of stand up, stand down, stand off, stand up to), or trying to explain the difference between being up to something and being up for something to my french friend. I love it!
another tag reminded me of how spanish speakers often mix up /v/ and /b/ because in panish they pronounced identically!
I wish more people had the ability to become bilingual because you're right, it makes you understand your own language at a more intimate and analytical level!!
There's a sherlock holmes story where he's speaking with a man who has no highly distinguishable accent, but holmes pinpoints the man as a native german speaker immediately because he was putting his verbs at the end of the sentence. Having about 6 years of german through school at the time, I've never not been a little proud of myself for picking up on that as well, even before Holmes reveals his observation to the reader
Men will literally think about scarecrows instead of going to therapy
It's cheaper
this is a legitimate therapeutic technique. you interrupt the thought spiral with something compelling enough to shake you out of it. for some people this is taking a long shower, or listening to music, or going for a drive. for this guy it’s apparently scarecrows.
the kudos lie
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on.
You may have heard a rumour that authors will “know” when you hit the kudos button more than once. This is unfortunately not true. Authors get notified once about kudos - the first time you hit the button. AO3 sends out an email about kudos once per day, so the author finds out then. Any other button mashing you do, they won’t be told about.
I believe this rumour started innocently enough. At one point in time, if your internet connection was slow and you hit the button fast enough, AO3′s system would register more than one kudos for a user. That’s why some fics used to have the same user name in the kudos list multiple times and authors would get that same email with multiple entries for the same person kudosing.
In April, AO3 fixed that issue. They removed all additional kudos that had been left on fics up to that point, and with the new system in place users can’t leave multiple kudos anymore.
You can only leave 1 kudos per fic. Authors will receive 1 message about that kudos. I know it’s disappointing, but it’s the truth.
it’s been a year or two now, but people still seem to believe that authors get notified every time you hit the button. They don’t. You can only kudos once per fic. Creators get one notification. If you want to show more love, I’m afraid you’ll need to comment.
"filler" is so misused bc anime filler is a really specific phenomenon where the animators can't fill their allotted episode count with material from the manga so they invent side stories or pad existing plots out. if something isn't an anime that was adapted from a manga it literally can't have that kind of filler. then people start to apply the concept to simply "episodes of a show that don't move the plot forward" and I don't even know why that's a problem bc if done well theres nothing wrong with those. having episodes with low stakes makes the ones with high stakes more impactful, and breathing room between major developments makes them more exciting when they do happen. some people seem to have this idea that filler = boring, plot = good, and I wish they would lose that mindset

Losing the war against emails
walking up to random doors and tugging on them and saying "i can't. it's locked" out loud to no one to fulfill my dreams of being an adventure game protagonist
not a lot of old-ass movies hold up in terms of comedy but sleeping beauty is fucking hilarious. “this is the 14th century.” “that’s because it’s on you dear.” the king at the end being confused af. fucking amazing
ok yeah im watching it again and nobody ever points out but. when merryweather says “you can’t sew and she’s never cooked” that like highkey implies that merryweather was the one in charge of actually taking care of the fucking kid which is hysterical. if merryweather was the main parental figure it’s a wonder aurora isn’t down for murder 24/7
see it’s easy to say “flora fauna and merryweather are a polyam couple” but tbh i think just flora and fauna are married, they both seem vaguely maternal towards merryweather, who in turn seems a lot younger and less experienced. so i have the headcanon that over in the fae realm these two were put in charge of training merryweather as their fae apprentice or whatever which somehow makes “merryweather was the one to take care of aurora” even FUNNIER. imagine you’re trying to train under these two powerful fairies and then before you know it you’re in the middle of the woods raising a baby and it turns out that without their wands your mentors are useless lesbians who don’t know how to cook. no wonder she’s so pissed all the time
i never liked the criticism that “aurora doesn’t do anything she only has like 10 lines that’s not #feminist” because. the main characters of the movie are the fairies, she just happens to get marketed more nowadays cause of the disney princess lineup, if you actually watch the movie it’s clear she’s not the protagonist, neither is phillip, i think he has roughly equal screentime to her. gender equality they’re both useless
but anyway when disney was doing that thing where they made one-shitbillion sequels they have serious untapped potential in post-movie aurora main character. because listen. listen. first of all she went through the most wild life-changing shit all in like two hours so she’s gonna be dealing with the fallout from that
but more importantly. girl was raised in the WOODS. she runs around barefoot petting wild animals and eating shit she picked up off the ground. she now lives in a castle as the future monarch. WHERE is my comedy sequel about that. where the FUCK is it. where is my scene of the servants and royals like “we’re so happy our beloved, perfect princess is finally back :)” and then she walks in covered in mud, smelling like riverwater, carrying a live fish and saying “i caught dinner” phillip sees nothing wrong with this
Somebody doesn’t want to admit they once swallowed a piece of evidence
ppl who celebrate fictional character birthdays are annoying pass it on
FUCK this post and happy birthday sonic

People who love cold weather are fucking weird. You like to freeze? You like to shiver?? You like when you take a step outside and the air stings your skin???
Bitch
This is the winter I gotta deal with
Listen. I hate both. I hate the stereotypical Canadian winters and I hate the disgusting humidity of Ontario summers (this is part of why I moved to Vancouver Island).
My ideal is 12 to 18 celcius. BUT i’d still rather it be freezing than boiling because you can add infinite layers to warm up but you can only remove so many layers until it’s just skin and you can’t remove all your akin and live.
It's that time again

I feel like we don’t talk about Valant Gramarye’s shocked sprite enough, it’s literally so cute? The first time I played AA4 I was in awe, it’s so wonderfully detailed I bet they absolutely hated making this lmao
please teach kids that its not normal to be in pain all of the time, we also need to start taking kids seriously when they talk about pain or difficulty physically, kids and teens can absolutely have chronic pain, medical conditions and disability that you cannot see. a kid isnt going to lie to you about being in pain 24/7 repeatedly.
