On Being a Powerful Speaker

in order to be a good speaker, you have to be a good writer. that doesn’t mean publishing 100 books and making it on NYT’s best selling list.

writing your thoughts, challenging your own assumptions and stances, writing about “controversial” ideas and playing the devil’s advocate, questioning the known, will allow your mind to become clearer on what you truly stand for. It will allow you to understand exactly who you are and what you believe in. It will help untangle all the jumble in your mind because you have to pen down your thoughts. Writing things down takes more time than thinking things, which gives you the time to reflect as well. Once your idea has been presented on paper, you will feel a sense of clarity. When asked to spoken about said idea or subject, you’ll be able to speak clearer because you’ve already spent time thinking, reflecting and challenging yourself. You may realise that you need less time to remember certain words, you’ll be able to retrieve things from your memory faster, your vocabulary will improve vastly and hopefully, your rationality will increase.

how should one go about such an exercise if you can’t think of subjects on your own?

Look for any one articles in the news. Any one article or a book. Read just the headline and the sub-headline/ read just the summary of the book. Now pause. Think about what it just said - do you agree with it? Disagree? What are your initial assumptions? What are some things you’re thinking of? Write it down. Now read the whole thing. Were your hunches right, or did the author challenge your initial assumptions? Do you agree with the author or still disagree? What were things you felt the author did not clarify or consider in their argument? start writing things down.

You do not need to be a good speaker in order to be a good writer; but perhaps, you do need to be a powerful writer in order to be a good speaker.

Do all of the knights have names in your au? And how did you decide on them?

hello there, thank you so much for the message! correct me if I misunderstand, but I think this is about a panel from my galacta knight vs meta knight comic:

where Galacta Knight uses the word Vaýtita. it's not a name, it's a... actually you know what, it's so much more embarrassing! it's a term of endearment/a relationship designator from my unnecessarily complex whole entire sci-fi language i built for them, lmao 💦

here's the note at the beginning of my personal dictionary as a quick crash course:

Ei Vaýtita in particular means "my gravity". it's akin to words like beloved, my heart, or soulmate- an irresistible force in one's own life. it's usually used romantically, but it doesn't have to be. Galacta Knight says it here to be cruel, though i do think he means it quite wholly

when I go in for making languages, especially sci-fi or high-fantasy ones, i like to consider the alien culture that the language is formed in. for these guys, everything was star and space coded; they had no reason to care about "hearts" or "souls". they considered themselves star-like, and so gravity as a term was most important; it's the only thing that can really move them.

praise is about being bright or shiny or having strong gravitational pull; and insults, accordingly, tend to revolve around being dim/lightless or stuck in orbit around someone greater

(translation under the cut because this is already getting long, sorry... i love to talk about this... thank you for asking 😭💝)

phrase // literal translation (from starspeak) // english localisation or meaning

kalimépos // welcome first light // good morning astéskotei // dim star // derogatory but not blindingly so; you could use it pityingly or fondly in a pinch ei épios // me see // wake up ei Vaýtita // my gravity // term of endearment and a relationship designator used within a star-system, usually for equal partners eu desai Ílioz ai ei // you (are not) the Sun of me // this is basically just a rejection from Meta Knight. the Sun serves an important role in star-systems, and he's simply telling Galacta Knight to shove it. he doesn't say it very well, but he refuses to say Ílioz-ei and so turns to a slightly clunky workaround.

#galacta knight #meta knight #my art #starspeak #awtdy au #asks #i do not speak any greek (modern or ancient) or arabic and rely on google translate entirely #originally designed this language entirely for self-indulgent personal use so it's got its flaws and is ever-growing and changing #i formally apologise to any actual speakers to whom this probably looks very stupid as it is truly just words slammed around in the blender #if they mean anything in OTHER languages also i apologise; i try to make sure that they don't translate to anything but it's tricky!#was just obsessed with the idea of utilising existing cosmic designation conventions for their dumb ancient star language #also to the person who referred to this on my main comic as meta knight being ring-popped thank you for my life i loved that #my headcanons and worldbuilding

pronouncing the necron 'sz': personal rating list*

broke: /s/ only ('seras')

woke: /z/ only ('zeras')

provoke: /s/ and /z/ pronounced separately ('s-ze-ras')

bespoke: /ʂ/ or /ʃ/ ('scheras')

invoke: tensed fricative /s͈/ ('sseras')

misspoke: /s/ but evil ('ßeras')

(* Further notes in tags.)

#warhammer 40k #wh40k #necrons #illuminor szeras #necron #shitpost #german speakers i am so sorry you had to read that with your eyes 😂 i also speak german i do know eszetts can't start words #originally this was just for fun but it seems there are quite a lot of ways wh40k fans pronounce this #native english speaking fans usually seem to stick to 's'#whereas in languages that actually use this digraph it would be s/ʂ/ʃ #but in korean translations 'sz' defaults to 'z' so it's definitely 'zeras (제라스)' and 'zarekh (자렉)'#and sometimes the 's' and 'z' are both present and pronounced like in japanese ('s-za-rekh';スザーレク)#(i personally use ʃ because it seems the logical compromise)#in lore terms i think all or most of those pronunciations were used among the necrontyr and there is not one 'canon' version #variety is the spice of life it's fine they're all good. well maybe not the last one but still 😂#according to TDK the necrontyr didn't have a united language until szarekh came along so they must've had different dialects #i reckon that's why the silent king made his universal language. so people could pronounce his name how HE specifically wanted it #it's all becoming so clear now!!!! 😬

I guess I'd just like to make an appreciation post for any non-binary people out there who speak heavily gendered languages. The folk who cannot just "make pronouns everyone else's problem", because their language doesn't allow it. People who are forced to choose a binary gender to even just articulate their thoughts. Who have to choose a box, even if they don't like it.

I promise I see you. I know it's tough. I am holding your hand tightly, as we walk this road together.

#nonbinary #queer #lgbtq #i just. made something I personally really needed to hear #the online lgbtq spaces are full of english speakers and this is just a cultural thing they do not experience #i have to misgender myself on the daily and there are days I don't mind and days I hate it to pieces #but I'll pull through I'll pull through I am not the only one #there have been people who have walked this road before me #the thing is that I've been told I should choose masculine pronouns. because that's what most nb people do here #and I hate it. I'm not a man. and so I just use the pronouns I've used all my life and now I'm not trans enough

i wanna talk about painslut kim chaewon and none of u will shut me up about it! kim chaewon who begs you to go harder, please, who is pretty much incapable of orgasming unless the scales of pain and pleasure are completely even, who whines that she can't feel anything if you're anything less than hard enough to bruise.

chaewon who chooses the biggest possible toy, who waits in your bed so naked and sweet, dainty fingers toying with her pussy lips, already wet with just the anticipation of what's going to happen once you find her. by now, you've got her totally convinced that no one can make it hurt like you do, no one can make her feel the ache deep in her belly for days afterwards like you do. and that's exactly what she tells you when you walk in the room, "please mommy, no one fucks me hard like you do. please i need it so badly, please!" she whines, naked body withering around the sheets as she looks up at you, puppy dog eyes teary with desire. and really, who are you to deny kim chaewon of any of her desires?

painslut chaewonie who hates being prepped, who turns her holes towards you with wiggling hips and pouty lips as she begs you to just do it, please! bucking backwards to try and impale herself in the thick, rubber head of the huge dildo she specifically chose for this occasion, but lettting out a loud, pained squeak as soon as she feels the head of the dildo invade her with no further preamble from you. it feels like being split open in two, and she loves it so much, the loud cry of pain shifting so seamlessly into an aroused moan as you barely give her a moment to adjust before settling in a slow, deep, painful rhythm. her face is pressed against the sheets, hands reaching backwards towards you desperately, in an attempt to either pull you closer or get you away from her, but at this point, with how loud she's gotten, you're pretty sure about which one is the answer.

with each heavy slap you decide to lay on her ass, a sobbed plea for more claws its way up her throat, the initially excrutiating pain of being ripped apart turning into the sweet stinging of being stuffed full. chaewon feels the toy everywhere inside her, stretching her open and hitting every sensitive spot there is lining her walls. it's no surprise to you that it doesn't take long to get her begging you to please, please, make me come, oh my god, please! and really, who would deny chaewonie anything her little horny heart desires? definitely not you.

and as you pull your little painslut up by the hair, her warm, sweaty back flush against your front, cries reaching an impossibly higher pitch as the toy reaches her deeper than she ever thought it would be possible, hands searching for anything to ground her as she tries to rock back against you, you have the most untimely thought that she might have some trouble with her rehearsals tomorrow. and then you reach out towards her, nails raking over the feverish skin of her navel and downwards... down, down, down until you your fingers reach her folds, slippery with arousal and so, so sensitive, enough to earn a squealed moan out of chaewon's chapped lips as her hips buck into your hand.

"chaewonie, you want to cum?" you ask, mouthing your way up from the back of her neck and biting down harshly on her earlobe. her words come out garbled, a mix of nonsensical noises and an endless amount pleading, tears dripping from the corners of her eyes as she begs for her release. feeling partially benevolent after watching her fall apart so easily, the hand that has been teasing her folds so far searches for her clit, the little bundle feeling puffy and warm with chaewon's arousal, and you rub it between your index and thumb, giving her a few seconds of that sweet pleasure, before you pinch it. hard. and you don't let go, not even as the back of her head smacks against your shoulder harshly, as her whining and pleading turns into a full blown scream, pained and animalistic, as her eyes roll to the back of her head and clear liquid gushes out of her in a squirted orgasm, hips still thrusting inside her and fingers keeping the painful grip on her clit, just the way chaewon loves it.

and if it takes a few days for her to start walking again without a limp, nevermind dancing, she knows it was worth it.

#hcs #girl group smut #le sserafim smut #kim chaewon smut #uh ... i got a lil carried away sorry #also ... as a non english native speaker ... rhythm is the weirdest word ive seen in my lIFE

There's a ton of analysis going on right now about what Fred's letter meant and whether Tubbo (and the audience) interpreted it correctly. No matter what, it was clearly more ambiguous than originally thought, but I want to caution people against assuming only one interpretation is possible. Fred's admin is not a native English speaker. That's a really important consideration when analysing where this miscommunication started, who caused for the misinterpretation, and what the letter was trying to say. Especially if you're a native English speaker consider that your interpretation might not be what the admin intended and that blaming them for the confusion can come off as unfriendly to non-native speakers! I think the main line causing the confusion is when Fred wrote: "For now, I don't think the...you know... mmm the letter exchange will be paused." A native English speaker's interpretation of this sentence would be to disregard the sentence fragment "I don't think think the..you know..mmm" (it reads as a unfinished thought) and conclude the only important part of that sentence are the lines: "For now, [...] the letter exchange will be paused." That said, I think the admin might have intended for only the middle part of the sentence to be ignored. In which case the sentence could be read as, "For now, I don't think [...] the letter exchange will be paused." This might explain why the admin was so confused Tubbo wasn't leaving letters (and seemingly "dropped" the lore). I don't know for sure that this is what they intended, but it makes sense to me with how confused/frustrated the admin seemed.

#qsmp #qsmp tubbo #qsmp fred #for the record I think Tubbo was perfectly valid in his interpretation and all the assholes can fuck off #and all the lore he's built shouldn't be retconned bc of a miscommunication (which happen in stories just life real life)!#but on the flip side I also don't like seeing people act like his was the ONLY correct interpretation after all #when we basically have confirmation that the admin intended SOMETHING different whatever that may be #we KNOW a miscommunication happened #and we know they are a non-native speaker #(tho this whole kerfuffle is exactly why this would have been better handled in private)

#some live reading sort of thing #miscellaneous #house of leaves #its pretty interesting so far but damn its a heavy read #specially since i aint a native english speaker and i buyed the book in english #guess i like to make my life harder for myself LMFAO #but i rlly like the design of the book #the book cover being slightly shorter than the pages making it seem like theyre spilling out of it not fitting quite right #the word “house” being colored blue adds a sense of foreboding like its this bigger thing looming over the narrative #the changes in fonts indicating the switch of the narrator #fun stuff

Interviews with Incredible Women

Here are some interviews that I think are absolutely brilliant, and I’ll explain why.

These women are trailblazers in what they do and I think, have really nailed the interview process down and you can tell because the more natural a person appears to be on camera, the more effort has gone into looking that way. Uneasiness, discomfort, shyness are easily spotted, especially with body language - and you can see the confidence just radiating from them.

Now, you may not like some of these women for whatever reason. I don’t really care about that - I’m simply looking at their oratorship, their presence in front of everyone and how they carry themselves. There’s obviously lots of powerful female orators, leaders and figures out there but I can’t possibly list them all so excuse me if I’ve missed out on your favourites - I’ll add them next time.

There’s a few things these women have in common:

1. They don’t always jump to answer. They think for a second or two before answering.

2. There are no filler sounds. They speak at a measured rate, which allows them to think ahead about their sentences.

3. They have a vast vocabulary.

4. They are not shy in disagreeing with the person in front of them. None of that diplomatic nonsense. There is clearly a strong sense of self identity and personality, unapologetically.

5. They show their vulnerabilities, weaknesses and hard times as thing of the past and accept them without a fuss- they don’t oppress themselves with it, and come across as strong survivors rather than wallowing in self pity. It’s what makes people admire them.

6. They don’t answer what they dont want to. And they beat around the bush with it, clearly stating that they will not answer those questions.

7. One thing I loved about Rekha’s interview - when questioned about an ex lover, she asks: “hey, is this interview about me or Mr Bacchan?” And it didnt come across as haughty or egoistical.

8. There’s feminineness in their strength. Them being strong in their stances is not masculine, overly aggressive or yelling - its firm, to the point, yet graceful.

This is what you should be looking at, carefully:

- body language

- Vocabulary

- Talking speed

- Gestures

- Facial expressions

- Voice modulation

- Expressing emotions

Roach having a lot of Deaf friends because of his ability to sign.

Roach getting his music taste from them.

Roach now knowing a ton of songs with ton of bass, (as they blast really heavily-bass-centric music for the vibrations.)

Roach being desensitized to the fact that these hard-core rap songs have incredibly inappropriate, highly sexual, and often slightly misogynistic if not majorly misogynistic lyrics.

Roach also being desensitized to simply how loud Deaf people like to play their music.

Roach blasting songs like, for example, zoom! By 1nonly around base making everyone lose their minds.

Song: *She wanted my dick in, she said it don't fit in. My whip burnin' rubber, I got all the friction*

Ghost: “Roach, what the fuck?”

Song: *bass kicks in*

Soap: *red* “bug?”

Song: *Okay, okay, like, get on, bitch. Okay, okay, like, she on dick*

Price, ever the feminist: “ROACH!”

Gaz: *just staring at Roach, trying to process how he could possibly have the audacity play the song that loud*

Roach: *blissfully ignorant* “huh???”

Martyn introduces the concept of “The Speakers” and some talk of what chapter of the lore document we are on at the moment

Transcript below cut

Martyn: Now the characters that no ones talking about- and I’m surprised about that- is the Speakers. No one’s- no one’s ever brought them up in a conversation or in like a- or in an au. And that one baffles me.

Text to speech message: Cherri says: “Ok so basically the Magnus Archives is a horror podcast. The Hermit Archives is an au putting the Hermitcraft characters into the world of The Magnus Archives.”

Martyn: Did you really think there’s be Watchers, Listeners, and not Speakers? Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil. How have you- ok. Oh chat. Oh chat.

Text to speech message: We don’t talk about the others. Especially Touchers

Martyn: Yeah not the Touchers Jesus. The Snorers? We can talk about them. They’re pretty funny.

Text to speech message: So we have Watchers, Listeners, and Speakers. Where is the Tasters and the Smellers AKA Gorden Ramsey and the so called Dog.

Martyn: snorts chat just loosing it

Text to speech message: The smellers?

Text to speech message: Oh chat. We’re not worthy to know such info on the Speakers.

Martyn: The Speakers are a whole nother level my god. That’s for chapter four. That’s for chapter four of the lore. We’re still in three. I think it’s three- are we in chapter three? Hold on. Let me consult my google doc. Hmmm where is it. “Lore”. Unauthorized? What? It’s my document what are you talking about? How can I- how can you unauthorize me from my own document when I’ve literally just opened it on my docs part of google docs?

Ah where is it.. “lore” here it is. Are we in.. chapter two.. chapter three... yeah we’re in chapter three. Cool, yeah. We’re in chapter three of the lore.

“There’s chapters now?” there always has been! I think I've even discussed that on stream. I’m pretty sure I’ve discussed that on stream, that there’s chapters to it all. “I think I deserve to know.” No. You least so out of anybody! *laughs* Yeah. Because I know you want it you’re not getting it that’s the problem. You could have acted more coy and cool about it. That’s how this works! That’s how this works.
