Favourite character: Lena Luthor undisputed queen of being stuck in the Torment Nexus for four seasons straight and then taking revenge on the world by wearing shoes on the couch.

Funniest character: Kara is unintentionally the funniest character on the show. Girl who thinks being asked to do your job that you specifically requested to do is persecution <3

Best-looking character: Manchester Black because I think David Ajala is so pretty. Also Lena when they put her in good outfits and not hideous ones.

3 favourite ships: Kara/Lena, Lena/James, Brainy/Nia. 3 ships that are all very very bad at talking to each other LOL.

Least favourite character: Mon-El really is so awful which sucks because I think the comics character has a lot of potential and deserves a proper adaptation. Like they did not have to make this man a misogynist or a slaveowner (????????????). He is neither of those things in the comics. And now other adaptations are making him an asshole or villain. They really killed this man's whole career and for WHAT. Comics Mon-El get behind me!!!

Least favourite ship: Kara/Mon-El bc can we PLEASE stop writing relationships where it's a woman's job to teach a man to not be a misogynist asshole and it's portrayed as funny !!!!!!!

Reason why I watch it: There are compelling characters and dynamics trapped in this show and I must get them out.

HI and thank you!!

4: Have you ever written a fic inspired by a tumblr post?

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year? yes! hannah hendy, the author of the dinner lady detectives series. i picked up the dinner lady detectives in a charity shop, thinking it sounded sweet and cosy, which it absolutely is, but on reading it i discovered that the two protagonists are a middle-aged lesbian couple!

6. Was there anything you meant to read, but never got to? oh, so many! i feel like my life is one big pile of books i haven't read yet. specifically, i named convenience store woman as a book i was going to read this year, but i haven't got anywhere near it.

8. Did you meet any of your reading goals? Which ones? i did actually! honestly my goal was just to develop better reading habits, which i have. it's been up and down, but i am now reading regularly again, so i'm much happier about the situation.

(wip asks with the caveat that noting has made it to ao3 since 2022 but yolo)

6. Favorite title you used

big fan of my doc that’s just food truck shenanigans because that’s really the whole vibe of the idea

8. Pairing you wrote the most for this year?

So I did my bachelor thesis on the local dialect of the area where I grew up, even though the Danish dialects are doing um... not well...

The upside of this was that I got to learn about some really cool features of non-standard Danish that are unfortunately getting harder and harder to find in the wild.

Allow me to introduce you to one of these!

I am obsessed with vestjysk stød, which is exactly what it sounds like; a specific type of stød that occurs in dialects in western Jutland. Vestjysk stød presents between short vowel sounds or voiced consonants and one of the stops /b/, /d/ and /g/. So while a word like hoppe 'jump' would be pronounced /hʌbə/ in standard Danish, with vestjysk stød (and schwa-drop) it would instead become /hʌˀb/. Sometimes the stop disappears entirelyː lukket 'closed' pronounced /lɔgəð/ (being very generous with that soft d there) would become /loˀd/ (and yes I'm aware there's a lot going on there).

Interesting, ikke 'not' would usually be pronounced /ɛˀd/, but because of its somewhat clitic nature, it's usually reduced to /ɛˀ-/ or /-ˀd/, which means that it is occasionally reduced even further to just /ˀ/ squashed in between two wordsǃ I love itǃ

I think you worded fine! I get it! :D

And oohhhhh thank you! Lemme see,,,, I'll go with:

I think I’m gonna go with Rat Race (2001). It is goofy, it’s funny and silly, and though there are some jokes that don’t hold up, for me they’re outweighed by the jokes that do, and the fantastic performances from the cast
