Headconing most tpom characters as a variety of nationalities is fun, but also... penguins switching between English and their national languages or those that they learned over time
Like Kowalski switching between Polish and English from time to time just because he forgot a word in one of them.
And Private knowing basic Polish just because how many polish people emigrated to England.
Or Rico speaking to Skipper mostly in Spanish (I hc Rico as Mexican or smth and Skipper was hiding there for 8 years... so he must know spanish) because it's just easier to him than speaking English.
And Skipper is just being a multilingual being, as a result of his story or missions...
Stuff like that =v=

The way I wanna learn so many silly hobbies!! Like I wanna be able to walk on my hands and contort and speak fictional languages, just so I can entertain people with a mystery bag of talents
But alas I am poor
no i know right. but. you do know that you don't have to pay to learn how to walk on your hands, right? or speak fictional languages? you should probably pay for a contortionist coach tho yeah

Because people keep missing the point of the aromantic part of that one post here is a post specifically for my loveless, aplatonic, and other a-attractions siblings out there!!
You do not need love to live a happy existence! This includes platonic and familial love. You can be loveless! You can be aplatonic! you don't have to feel any kind of love to be worthy of existing as yourself, you are not a bad person for not feeling love and you shouldn't have to justify your identity to allos at all. Your existence isn't just a footnote or something to be shamed in favor of more "acceptable" experiences. You experience deserves to be normalized too. You deserve to have your experience validated and understood and accepted. You deserve to not be left out of the conversation and community. You're part of the aspec community too and you deserve to be seen.

I actually love learning history, but we barely learn any of it in school. I want to learn EVERYTHING! ESPECIALLY the crazy stuff! Teach me the things that don't make sense! Teach me the details about how people loved, what they did! What shinanigins did they get up to? Make me reenact something ridiculous and crazy!
Gods, I love history!
Got these pictures from my for you page on Tik Tok

What is harm reduction outreach? I saw you mention it in a post.
Sure!
So I do outreach through an org in my city that provides harm reduction services to people who use drugs and sex workers. We have specific areas of the city that we go to on specific days, and also do deliveries. We also do at least one overnight shift a week to be able to better provide services to sex workers. For outreach, we hand out safer use supplies including needles, sharps bins, tourniquets, cookers, sterile water, stems, Narcan, fentanyl test strips, condoms, lube, bad date sheets, wound care supplies, food, water, etc. We also try to help provide people referrals to services like HIV and Hep C care, share what resources in the city are trans friendly and how to navigate social services with the least bullshit, and also provide peer support and harm reduction education to help people have all the information they need to make choices, and help reduce risk.
It's really important to us that we are not acting like exploitative nonprofits that come in, hoard resources, and expect people to be grateful. outreach is pretty much done entirely by people who are also drug users and sex workers. We are also really involved in local advocacy--we participate in a decriminalization campaign, a drug users union, and a sex work advocacy coalition. and i think nonprofits and government attempts to coopt harm reduction are so fucked up and actively harmful--you can't do harm reduction without also fighting to abolish the oppressive systems that are targeting drug users and sex workers. we have a lot of ties to the community that we're doing harm reduction in--for most of us it just is our community + neighborhoods lmao, and we make sure that we're always getting feedback, respecting autonomy and consent, and building mutual relationships. we've been around for a while and do have a lot of community trust, but we always want to be making sure we're respecting what people want and need instead of coming in with ideas about what services + supplies they want.
anyway. harm reduction is so fucking important to me and it's not just like, something i do to like, build my resume or to try to "save people." i'm a former sex worker and when i first started doing sex work, i didn't have any information, community, or access to anything that would have helped me to be able to work safer. it fucked me up pretty bad and i survived a lot of violence. i wish so fucking badly i had all those things, and it's super important to me to try to build community, care for each other, resist fucked up systems and protect each other.

Hey y'all! I am in the mood for some new (to me) music. Do you have any recommendations for songs that make you want to dance? No limits on genre or language, but if you're sending me a link to a specific music video please give me a heads up if it has flashing lights (if possible). Thanks!

When Robin, roughly nine years old and barely starting to accept the idea of Bruce as his father guardian after a year of living with him and becoming his most trusted partner, is launched into an alternate universe so familiar to his own, do you think his heart sings with blinding hope and love in a way that it hasn’t in over a year when he sees Dick Grayson?
Do you think he launches himself at Dick with reckless abandon, all knobbly elbows and wiry frame, babbling and crying, calling for his dad in his native language that has been slipping away from him more and more with every passing day?
Do you think Dick Grayson, twenty-three years old and looking more and more like the wispy memory of his lost parents, with his father’s rough grin and easy kindness, with his mother’s eyes and curls of hair, feels his heart freeze in his chest as this child cries in a tongue he suddenly realizes he doesn’t remember anymore, as he’s lost both his family’s faces and language to time?
It takes Dick a moment to unfreeze and look down at his younger self, who he instinctively hugged close to him the moment he heard the word “Dat”, and realize that he’s looking at a literal younger version of himself.
It takes Dick pulling away from his friends that day, reassuring the other young heroes that he’ll catch up later - although they’re not so young, anymore, not with how they’re close to their mentors’ age when they started the Justice League, not when young looks like the boy in his arms, the boy he was all those startling years ago - for this younger Dick Grayson to look up through eyes blurred with tears and finally realize that this man who looks so much like his father has his mother’s eyes and hair, has his father’s easy grin that doesn’t sit on the same face as his father’s.
In this foreign and yet familiar stranger, two Dick Graysons, separated by time and space but brought close by the same beginnings and souls, find a little bit of peace in each other. And when the older Dick Grayson (“Call me Richard, for now. My littlest brother already does,”) drives the two of them back to the manor, back to their home, Dick sees his quiet-loud fears of no family, of being left behind by Bruce and Alfred, of never having another shoulder to truly lean on or have leaned on, wiped away at the sight of so many siblings, of so many members of a family he never allowed himself to dream of.
Do you think some part of the universe sighed in quiet relief and pure joy when these two birds, the Robins that brought the morning light of heroics onto the world and had a hand in ensuring the guidance of the next generations of heroes to come, in all of the chaos of lovingly worried alternate universe check ups, younger-older siblings dropping by to ruffle hair, give bone-breaking hugs, kisses on foreheads and cheeks, took a moment to gaze upon the trapeze set up in the Batcave?
It only takes a moment and a glance between them before they’re off, a dance through the air, smooth flips and trusting catches as easy as breathing and as natural as the wind buffeting a robin’s feathers.
The Flying Graysons are made whole again, for just another moment.

I just finished the entire Duolingo Ukrainian course.
Tumblr media
Granted their course isn't as comprehensive as some of their others, it's primarily just foundational stuff, and it's not like I can really speak it now or anything, but A) I think it's cool that I finished the whole thing, B) I learned how to read Cyrillic (!) which I've always wanted to do, and C) I know 100% more Ukrainian than I used to, so, that's not nothing. 😌

Ranking the books I read in Japanese this year
It’s the end of the year and I don’t think I’ll be finishing any more Japanese books this month, so I thought it would be fun to rank what I read! I read twelve novels in Japanese this year, hitting my goal (but not quite reading one a month). There won’t be twelve rankings here, though, because I read multiple books from the same series and will be combining those.
9. コーヒーが冷めないうちに - 川口俊和: This book just didn’t do it for me. I listened to it on audiobook in February for a target language listening challenge and got stuck in a vicious cycle of not paying attention because the story was boring me and being bored of it because I wasn’t paying enough attention. Most other people I’ve seen who have read it in Japanese also thought it was boring, though, so I’m not mourning any loss.
8. 宝石商リチャードの謎鑑定 - 辻村七子: I really wanted to like this series but the negatives outweighed the positives so much that I only read the first volume. The most damning part of this for me was that I couldn’t stand the writing style. It was extremely confusing, and having a language barrier on top of that just made it miserable. I’m really glad I read this with others because I was not the only one who found the writing style to be ridiculously confusing for a book that doesn’t even handle confusing or difficult topics. Seriously, the writing was so bad that I considered continuing the series in English. But the characters were good.
7. あん - ドリアン助川: Now we get into the books that I enjoyed, just not as much. I liked this book well enough, but it was just a bit middling. I wasn’t overly invested in the characters or story and I found myself wondering how on earth this story could go on for another hundred pages. It was sweet, but ultimately I don’t think the story will stick with me at all.
6. ちょっと今から仕事やめてくる - 北川恵海: This was another audiobook read and although I know I enjoyed it, I really don’t remember much about it. I’m also not sure if the twist, which I did think was really good, actually happened or was something I misunderstood (I’m pretty sure I understood it though). Overall, this one goes on the to-reread pile, just as soon as I can find a physical copy of it.
5. 旅猫リポート - 有川浩: This was an adorable story perfect for cat lovers, but the end had me a little bored. Honestly though, it was quite the experience to go from being a bit bored to crying my eyes out in the span of ten pages. The writing style and the main cat’s perspective was super charming as well.
4. 人間失格 - 太宰治: This was my first classic in Japanese and wasn’t as difficult as I expected. Dazai’s writing style is a pain in the ass, but I will admit that it started to grow on me as the book went on and now I find it endearing. It also wasn’t as depressing as I had heard it was, and I really enjoyed getting a perspective of that time period.
3. 美しい彼 - 凪良ゆう: I only read one volume of this, probably exclusively because I suddenly couldn’t stand romance when I had fifty pages left of this. What can I say, I love a good toxic gay romance. The writing style is chronically readable and the story is super engaging.
2. No. 6 - あさのあつこ: I’m a fan of the anime for this and the novels have not let me down. I’ve only read two so far, but the story and characters are super gripping. I really love the emphasis on dialogue in this series, I really feel like it makes the characters pop more. The only problem I have is this odd quirk in Asano’s writing style, where the majority of the series is told from third person point of view, but will suddenly switch to first person point of view for a single sentence. It’s not enough to deter me, but it is a little odd to see.
1. キノの旅 - 時雨沢恵一: My number one favorite read in Japanese this year and no one should be surprised. I’m a massive Kino fan and read three volumes this year. I love books that I can analyze the hell out of and this is exactly that. Additionally, I think the writing style and the way both Kino and Hermes are characterized adds so much to both the stories and the underlying meanings that Shigusawa is trying to get across.

As if Japanese sewing patterns were not problem enough, now I'm developing an unwelcome interest in Japanese knitting patterns.
