I have been absent from here for a long time due to life, but I miss having people to talk about Paul Ritter characters with. And my AO3 Chernobyl fanfics have started getting kudos again. I hadn't thought of them for so long! I've re-read some of them, they made me smile

Old sims, revisited and revamped.
I found some old sims and gave them a bit of an update. The guy usually has white hair (also pretty cool, mind you) but I decided to make it black because why not.
As one of my very first oc couples, I cannot tell you how happy I am to see them again, but happier still because they no longer look like potatoes (´ε`;)
That aside, one of my saves is extremely laggy (probably because it's at least 16 gens already). I feel I ought to start anew, but I've updated numerous lots during this time so I really don't want to lose everything. Is it possible to start from scratch using the current save? As in, cut all relationships and connections? I've long since stopped caring about my main sim/family so I have qualms about severing ties. Does this even make any sense?

i saw you reblogged something from with the tags saying you dont want to infodump about languages in teyvat but fun fact. i would Love to hear your thoughts about language in teyvat. i actually think there's evidence to support regional dialects apart from a common tongue that is spoken, but I would love to hear your thoughts
@andreaissy
So, I will simply answer both of y'all here since you asked similar questions. Hope you don't mind ;)
There's this thing, it's an actual field of study in Teyvat, called the origin of language.
The Academya has these principals, to avoid their students going insane, called the cardinal sins. You might know them from Al Haitham's and Cyno's demos(? Either demos or teasers), it's also in Al Haitham's story quest and shit, either way, these are the principals.
Most of these are legit very interesting because they are an extension of Celestia's will as the students that study them go crazy because they've found out something they shouldn't.
Now, for the sake of this theory let's ignore the others and look at just the fourth one.
Why would Etymology be so bad? You may ask.
Well! It's *puts tinfoil hat on* because of aliens.
Kidding. But not really.
So, brief history of the founding of Teyvat.
In an era known as the "old world," dragons and vishaps are the overlords of the world, with the Seven Sovereigns — dragon-lords at the apex of raw, whom ruled over seven nations, and each land they inhabited was attuned to their presence.
At some point, the Primordial One, also known as the "eternal throne of the heavens," appears in the world and colonizes the shit out of it like he goes ham, kills all the dragon lord, creates four shades, reshapes the world almost entirely.
After around 400 years, the Primordial One finishes preparing the world for the arrival of humanity.
Yes, Arrival. Humans are not native to Teyvat.
Humanity moves there and founds a gigantic civilization that last the entirety of Teyvat, which flourishes under the control of the first who came. It's destroyed later for complex reason, whatever whatever...
Thing is! Thing is! All humans descend from this one specific civilation and they speak one single language. Now, that leads me to believe that the reasln people from Sneznaya to Inazuma all speak the same language is because in Teyvat language doesn't seem to drift tremendously, like we can read shit from archon war time and shit.
It's like language not drifting is one of Teyvat's many laws and odd principles.
And yeah! That definitely could be narrative and handwaving but it's weird to handwaved shit when it's part of a much larger theory and shit.
So yeah, unified language theory.

starscream is in the weird place where he is certainly attracted to carriers, and will take in their sparklings and be with them during their process, but he doesn't want to be called a sire or assume the position of a sire. but obvs whenever he is in a relationship with someone who is a carrier or whatever, they try to push him into that role or make him feel bad for not leaning toward it.
The one carrier to never make him feel that was has been Rodimus. I have so many aus where Rodimus ends up sparked and he kinda gets shunned by a lot of people, and he ends up entering a relationship with Starscream. Starscream is really hesistent because all the carriers he's ever been with have made him feel guilty for not wanting to be their sire, or have tried to force him into that role, but Rodimus doesn't. He really respects Starscream, and Starscream and him end up getting together and Starscream takes care of Rodimus and his sparklings. The sparklings also end up calling starscream their secondary carrier and he and Rodimus are happy.
