Every day on Qsmp, they get closer and closer to speaking their own type of Pidgin

#and that's awesome #qsmp #qsmp funny #qsmp irl #this isn't about anything #in particular #just a general observation #pidgin #language stuff #pidgin for those who don't know is sorta a mashup of other languages #made by people who all speak different languages #i think #could be wrong

You would mind posting everyone nicknames I got a bit confused when I found you call swapfell sans grape since I’m so used to him being called blackberry or razz

I don't think I'm the right person to ask about this because I first learned about AUs via pixiv works, so I'm more familiar with the Japanese names;; I only learned about names like "blackberry" later on and was also confused by it at first because I'd only known SF sans as "grape"! (To be honest, until just now I thought some people called SFR sans "black", but it seems it was a nickname for SF sans... haha)

I was under the impression that "razz" was used for SFR sans, though, because I assumed it derived from "raspberry", which is red? In the same vein, I find it curious that the UFxUS sans ship is called "cherryberry", but UF sans is not referred to as "cherry" (from what I know). In fact, it's SFR sans that's called "cherry"... 😵‍💫

If somebody better informed would like to clarify the common nicknames, please do!

#w9 inbox #a lot of people also use their own nicknames #and I think that's cool because I love seeing all the variations!! #it also feels like “oh this is this person's version of this character!” #and that's awesome #but also it can be pretty confusing at times haha

[lesbian-vergil]

something ive learned about my character preferences in ttrpgs is that I love to play absolute losers, it brings me joy

#everyone else rolls up to the table with characters that are all cool as fuck #and that's awesome #because it highlights how much of a loser my stinky smelly dumdum is

Trick or Treat! -@antimony-medusa

This is my dog Blade (Named after Technoblade, yes<3) and he was my best friend. He recently came to visit us from the afterlife and played with his siblings at home, had his favorite meal and made us company for a day. Let me tell you about día de los muertos or day of the death.

TLDR: One of many versions of the myth of day of the death, what it often means and why it's cool.

ALSO! I'm (unfortunately) not a historian. I just got mexica/aztec history, mythology and cosmovision as special interests of mine since my senior year or highschool so most of my knowledge is for classes, asking my teachers, studying for exams and researching on my own. There's a lot of myths and legends about this beautiful tradition and this is just the one I know, so if you're interested, please feel free to be curious and do the same!

Back when the Aztecs were the biggest empire in America, whenever a person died by natural causes, it was said their souls were going to travel to the Mictlán (Nahuatl for place of the death), which is similar to hell but not as such as Hell, since Mictlán is the death new home, rather than a punishment. And it too has 9 different levels with 9 different tests by the god mictlantecuhtli and his wife mictecacíhuatl (god and goddess of the place of the death, respectively) for the souls to reach eternal rest.

(This is the place where most people would go, but there's, if I remember correctly, around 3, maybe 4 afterlife places souls would go, but that's a ramble for another time.)

The very entrance of the Mictlán is a river that souls need to cross in order to get in. Here, xoloitzcuintles (xolotl means monster/weird thing and itzcuintle means dog, so literally translating it means weird dog or dog monster. As a fun fact, axolotl literally translates to water monster since it has -xolotl) would help them to get across, but only and ONLY IF souls, when alive, were kind to animals. Thus Aztecas having xoloitzcuintles as lower deities.

But the 9 trials were tough, and mictlantecuhtli didn't know what to do to motivate souls to get through all of them. So then he allowed for them to go back to the world two days a year. November 1st is the day for the children to go visit their parents and siblings. November 2nd is the adult's turn to go visit their families. Aztecs were pleased by this and started making their favorite dishes to help them recharge<3

Apparently, it was the people around 2019 who decided that it was pets' turn to come and visit us October 27th, and we all embraced it. A lot of people's first experience with grief was with pets, and I think they deserve the same treatment. Like with humans, a candle is lit to light their way home along with cempasuchil flowers to trace their path. They're all welcomed with their favorite meals, water, and in some cases toys or their favorite things when they were alive.

As a kid I never had a reason to celebrate día de muertos, but now I do. And rather than that being sad, I took the opportunities to reflect about life, death, afterlife and memories. As long as we remember them, they won't ever die. They'll always live with us, in our hearts and the happy memories we shared with them. Grief is the price to pay for loving in life, and I think every second of pain I've ever experienced, was worth the smiles my loved ones drew in my face when they could.

I encourage anyone of any nationality who feels curiosity to research and put together an ofrenda, share memories about your loved ones and remember how happy you were. Tysm for reading<3

#qsmp trick or treat #día de muertos #day of the death #the full version of Blade's drawing also includes Technoblade #I included him in my home ofrenda and sneaked him in my school's ofrenda too #i have a picture of that I think #but I'm still debating whether I should post the drawing #i would love to #i think what the techno community thinks about the phrase Technoblade never dies is the core of day of the death #and that's awesome #i even saw more people including him in theit ofrendas and it was the coolest thing ever #but yeah I might share that #i love my country #xys art stuff #xy talks #xy responds #edit #cw pet death #cw pet loss #cw death #just in case #calaverita

It's neat seeing hinatas complete disregard for his own body being set up as early as season 1, I must admit when he collapsed during their last match at nationals it took me by surprise but yeah on rewatch you realize he really had never cared about his health at all as long as he was allowed to play

#he got hit in the face by asahis spike and begged not to be taken out boy you have a concussion #it was one of my favorite parts of the manga. seeing a message that said you couldn't push yourself to the brink #cause in the long run it will become an obstacle in your path #it's a very mature message #especially coming from a shonen story where the protagonist breaking himself to achieve his goals is the norm #and maybe if you're made of rubber like luffy that's the case lol #but haikyuu being set in the real world can't say that and didn't #and that's awesome #haikyuu #hinata shouyou #haikyuu spoilers

I have seen one too many very bad urbanism takes on my dash from people who seem to think that this is an all-or-nothing zero-sum game, so I am about to get OPINIONATED here. This is probably going to be long. I might include diagrams.

America's car-dependency is harmful to the development and growth of communities and localism. If we can all agree that Being In A Community is a good thing (we might not be able to agree that, I don't know), we should address this issue somehow. Building walkable communities is a good step in this direction. Transit ideally connects walkable communities together with ease.

As someone on the anti-car-dependency side of this discussion, what I want to say very loudly is the option for good transit, especially in metropolitan areas both major and minor, should be available. This is NOT saying "everyone should live in cities" or "rural folks must all take buses or transit everywhere." This is saying "people who live in a dense area should have the option to take reliable public transit." Fewer people in cars will mean less traffic for buses and less traffic for people coming into the urban area from outside it. The goal is car reduction, especially in everyday errands or commutes. Think about the routes you drive every single day -- usually to work, right? Maybe dropping your kids off at school? What if you didn't have to drive it but could instead take a bus or a train?

To be clear: I'm not dunking on people who live in rural areas. I reiterate that people in rural areas should not be forced to only take buses or transit and suddenly give up their cars. (That is outrageous.) I am not even saying that city-dwellers shouldn't have cars -- I'm saying that cityfolk should have the realistic option to not have a car and be able to do all their necessary life things on foot, bike, or transit. Safely. Which means moving those big highways out of city centres and forcing more walkable communities in places which can absolutely handle a slight increase in density (looking at you, Syracuse and Milwaukee, among others).

Also, density does not and should not only look like New York City or Chicago. It is eminently possible to create an environment where pleasant single-family or small multi-family homes exist on small plots of land and there is an easily-accessible area containing commerce (including a grocery store, among other things) and local parks and so forth. But this sort of development doesn't lend itself to speculation and therefore doesn't make big money fast, so people don't want to plan it.

#uber and lyft and doordash are actively harmful to the reduction of cars upon the road #i also don't really want to get into accessibility right now but i could totally ex novo do some neighbourhood development *right now* #or even not ex novo! i have a neighbourhood i live in and quite like! #and i think it needs a couple things! #one is a real grocery store in walking distance #bc right now our local 'grocery store' is Dollar General #and a catholic church but they all just got clustered and restructured #so i'm thinking that one's a stretch #but i can easily walk to the train and take the train downtown to one! #and that's AWESOME #(but ofc my specific neighbourhood is super not great for accessibility) #(my street is at like a 35 degree angle) #(mountains. it's the mountains.)

every once and a while, i wish that i wrote more popular fic. mostly i don’t care. mostly i prefer to engage with things how *i* like them, rather than conform with dominant fandom opinions and approaches just for the sake of fitting in. but man sometimes i do crave that experience of being part of the in-group.

#and don't get me wrong #by sticking true to the things that interest me even when they're not super popular #i've met other fans who engage with things in a similar way to me #and that's AWESOME #i'm just being emo today #fee says stuff

This is bones' main again. Does Doctor Beast have any horror stories from tour? Sorry I couldn't find if she was answering questions heh hee.. ;ppp

Yeah, so the last tour I was on was a book tour. Wild times..! Never toured as a performer, so I really don't, no. :) Hell, I'm so old and I used to get so drunk that I don't really remember a lot of other peoples' tours, either... which is unfortunate.

I remember on the maiden voyage of 70k Tons of Metal, going to a room where my friend Jesse ended up, and there was just... glass. Glass everywhere. From who knows what. And he was concerned about sleeping because it was just all over.

And I think Samuli (Skrymer from Finntroll) was there too because they were inseparable bffs. And later I remember asking Samuli about it because we were both in the elevator which was covered in mirrors and the topic of piles of broken glass kept coming up. And I don't remember if that was the time Vreth's face got painted with blood instead of facepaint because we had more of it on hand, but maybe.

Otherwise, a pretty uneventful boat ride.

#that was certainly a time #i miss the people but not the substances #apparently 70000 tons of metal is still a thing #and that's awesome #answered
