Mightier Than The Sword

I've got a bit of an odd request for you all! I have the opportunity to buy art for an office - it is a public space, I'm doing therapy in there, but I still like the idea that it would be a little personalized.

Goddd I'll do a longer post about this sometime. But it bugs me seeing how many people depict pre-Blackening Binghe as being like, super rude to and dismissive of everyone who isn't Shen Yuan?

"Parasocial" getting collapsed into "thinks the e-celeb is your personal friend" is understandable given how common that particular version of it is, but there are definitely a lot of subtle and really common ways to be parasocial out there that go unnoticed while doing harm, such as looking at the theming of someone's online presence and assuming they must be Like That offline too.

You look at a blog that's just endless posts about Pikachu, and conclude that the person running it is Obsessed With Pikachu.

You're not demonstrating the social skills you think you are when you come into the notes declaring that you're unable to imagine someone adapting their behavior to the social context of Being On Tumblr btw

I know that Mob officially likes “happy music” but i think we should all collectively decide that Mob just really likes early 2000s melodramatic Nu Metal. it’s the funniest possible music genre for someone to catch Mob listening to because I think it would irrationally terrify Ritsu (pre-s3).

I once chatted with a guy from Hawaii, we started talking about languages. I mentioned that while I've heard very little of it and hardly seen more of it written down, the Hawaiian language seems to have extremely similar balance of vocals and consonants as Finnish does, so it's actually pretty likely that there are some words that exist in both languages, but mean one thing in Hawaiian and a completely differen thing in Finnish - much like in Japanese.

Okay so in finnish, "kala" means "fish" - just any fish, fish in general, and "kana" means "chicken". "Ele" is "gesture", as in a physical movement that an animal or human does to nonverbally communicate something. The -ni suffix is a possessive referring to oneself, essentially "my". In finnish, compound words are of the "if it doesn't exist yet, I can make one up on the spot" variety, so almost all nouns can be slapped together to refer to something specific.
