#in the anglosphere

[srvphm]

not a doomer cause I think there’s no way to improve things somehow but a doomer cause the people sounding the alarm the loudest aren’t heard while the ones with enough privilege to boost them are holding group meetings about how small scale actions like protests are meaningless and we need to form a coalescent party but really they’re all waiting for “the revolution” like it’s gonna materialize out of thin air in the next few years and nothing is done

#maybe peaceful protests surrounded by ‘friendly’ cops aren’t peak activism #but its better than calling yourself a marxist and telling yourself all will be fine when The Revolution sweeps and you get a gun #the first meeting for this group immediately turned into usamericans arguing about gun control and finding guns when The Revolution happens #WE ARE NOT IN THE US #I’m not saying violence is off the table but if we ever get to this red revolution guerilla wet dream #it’ll be after a lot of less heroic more boring and definitely still criminal shit #I guess I’m extremely disappointed because most of the discourse online is usamerica centric with a little bit of the UK #in the anglosphere #in french it’s all about france ofc #and I thought hey this irl thing is probably gonna be more relevant right #wrong! americans on student exchange are here to lead! #tell me about amendments one more fucking time and I’ll steal the original constitution and shove it so far up your ass #you will taste the founding fathers

Permission to be a nerdy expert and deeply thirsty for two minutes.

I am begging - begging - fashion writers et al to realise that “Victorian” is a specific time period and place, not an entire century. And if you must insist on the Darcy comparison (about which more anon), then recognise that Pride and Prejudice was published in 1813, aka the Georgian/Regency period. (Victoria wouldn’t become queen for almost two decades.)

And that being said: I stand by my read of the whole look being far more 1830s European Romantic.

Now that I’ve got my nerdy twitching out of the way: I would like to hear more about the whole “making a shirt that’s nicely oversized and designed to be opened like that” design process please and thank you. 😘

#let me nerd out on this please #Victorian doesn’t mean 19th century and shouldn’t be used to refer to anything outside Britain #just say no to everything being framed in the Anglosphere #other references exist beyond pride and prejudice and the regency and I’m begging people to realise that #thank you for coming to my ted talk #pedro pascal #it’s fashion baby

We know tumblr is dominated by the anglosphere, but how is it distributed between its core countries?

"The five core countries of the Anglosphere are usually taken to be Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These countries enjoy close cultural and diplomatic links with one another and are aligned under military and security programmes." (Wikipedia)

Reblog for bigger sample-size. I'm really curious about this!

As someone whose entire extended family lives in Sicily irl and they're all super catholic i am delighted by Machete's place of origin??? I literally feel like that meme with the anime girl that's like "(Location) mentioned!!!" anytime it comes up lol

Anyways I love reading OC lore so your blog is always a treat 😎

.

#oh thank you! it's so good to hear you like him! #I hope I'm not doing a glaring disservice to Sicilians or Italians as a whole with my weird dog guy #to be honest I'm always worried about people taking him as serious representation of some trait they associate with and feel close to #and then potentially getting disappointed or upset when he's flawed and troubled and not always entirely likable #does that make sense? I'm an overthinking people-pleaser it's probably just all in my head #answered #anonymous #it's so funny that this [location mentioned] is a worldwide phenomenon #especially in non-anglosphere countries #because Finnish people always get hella excited whenever Finland is mentioned anywhere #it's became a well known inside joke (torille) #we're such a small quiet and remote nation it's always a pleasant surprise whenever one of the big guys remembers that we exist

the glassy eyed 1000 yard western euro stare you get when you tell the people sitting in you and your visibly ill girlfriend's seats that they're in your reserved seats and they go "ach... ja but your reservation is not written here there is no r-"

excuse me you germano-frankish beady eyed cocksucker, we're on a čd train and my čd ticket shows us as having these seats, and your rootless ugly white and black deutschebahn fart app doesn't even have seat reservations because despite your national stereotype you have the same organization and respect for order a gypsy does.

don't give me your "mon dieu et iz not written here" - the train is chronically overcrowded because your third world national rail company can't book properly, you've been sitting for 3 hours from shitggart and have only been looking at your insta stories while pretending to study pierre von shittenlips. i have a visibly ill and weak passenger with me but beyond the former iron curtain, despite your supposed cosmopolitan love for all, you're like the rats in the paradise experiment who actually just viciously serve themselves first above all.

and the nerve to snicker and chat amongst yourselves once we get off... after very clearly sitting in our seats...: TOTAL WEST EURO CONTINENTAL DEATH.....

i believe now in celto-slavic racial superiority

#i fully understand edvard beneš now #i know why we killed 3000 of them with trucks in postoloprty #and it's a mindset not an ethnicity #the complete arrogant rootless cosmopolitan faggotry and proclaimed internationalism but being so rude and immediately self serving #i fully believe in a race war against everyone beyond the former iron curtain #ossies are fine because they have the eastern mentality and were protected #but seriously behead all le international cosmopolitan franco-germanic-spaniard expats going on tourism or living as le expats #complete shitbags #btw people always complain about anglos #but the anglosphere is so concerned with behaving polite i've never ever ever had a problem with them #they would have given up the seats #txt

White privilege is when a person of color gets made fun of for speaking broken English while a white guy gets praised for speaking a few basic sentences in any non-European language.

may i ask what your academic background is? did you or do you study biology/anthropology/related subjects? i'm really curious as to how you got to such a degree of specificity in the anatomy and culture side of your world-building!! it's really inspiring!

marine & freshwater ecology with also some years in veterinary (though i never worked in the field beyond mandatory internships, knew it wasn't for me). always loved anatomy & physiology, when i was in my veterinary course i did an elective on human anatomy for radiography and it was sooo cool. i mostly work with invertebrates now :)

as for anthropology?? i know jack shit really aside from what i've picked up through osmosis over the years and a single semester of elective forensic anthropology & primatology, which nearly exclusively focused on arranging skeletons into anatomical order in a lab and learning about human evolution before Homo sapiens. culture i just have fun with, it's the thing that has the most potential to build a fascinating setting imo, moreso than very complex or unique alien body plans or knowing what exact gases comprise an atmosphere (obligatory ymmv statement)

i've used Siren as a sort of testbed for any random idea for a culture i've ever had and thrown them all in together because it's a whole planet, so it has the diversity of a whole planet. It's why I prefer to group people based on where they're from rather than what body plan they have. The rest follows; say I have fifty different pelagic villages across the whole world, that means fifty different cultures with their own specific beliefs, building styles, communication styles, attitudes towards relationships, etc, and yes fifty different languages, but all of these are informed by the specific pressures of living underwater. a phocid from a spiral pelagic village might think the cultural practices of a phocid from an eastern pelagic village are alien and strange (and in fact they do; some of the eastern villages have active monarchies which would be all but inconceivable to anyone from the west in this time period), but a spiral phocid and a spiral shortwing would have a lot in common.

#thank you <3 #it's hard to articulate it but i also think it helps to be in a culture which is not considered an anglosphere default #i can see SO clearly the differences in how irish ppl behave compared to american or british #the communication style is VASTLY different and i don't mean language or vocabulary #so you get to see multiple sides of something instead of just one default #grew up watching foreign movies (american). watching foreign tv shows (british). etc. you start to see the edges of it

Many moons ago when I was a kiddie and I saw Under the Red Hood for the first time, I turned to my mom during the credits and asked her if she'd want me to avenge her if she ever got murdered.

And of course I was fishing for an answer like, "Nooo, I want what's best for you, of course I'd want you to find peace."

But her expression got all dark and she said, "Yes. Avenge me."

#She also said‚ ''I don't care about Batman's white people bullshit!" But I'm not including that bc then the post would sound fake. #And then I was like haha you're kidding right? And her face stayed all dark and she was like No. #My mom is really tiny btw. #This is what I mean when I say that the Anglosphere has no idea what Buddhists are like.

anyone who has studied math in a language other than english: is there a word in that language that's equivalent to the mathematical sense of “degenerate” / “degeneracy” but without the nazi associations?

#I'm not being glib here. I did not like this being a common term in math #but I did not and still do not have a drop-in replacement that means the same thing #and I was thinking that a loanword could be a convenient choice #(“trivial” can sometimes overlap but is not the same concept) #(realistically this is also something that probably won't be changed in the anglosphere until communism tbh)

[winxwiki]

Winx Club is the equivalent of the renaissance of magical girls.

After Sailor Moon, in Japan and overseas we got a lot of MG shows from 1996-2003 but none of them left a comparable impact (except for Doremi and Tokyo Mew Mew and only outside the anglosphere). Winx Club was the second coming of Christ worldwide. A phenomenon that Precure did not manage to repeat on the same scale outside Japan (where was it successful in the WHOLE west? Italy again).

Made by italian queer artists under a catholic director. Just like real renaissance art historically. Bloom is Magical Girl Jesus. Isn't it poetic

#but the 4kids dubs of tmm and doremi- did you get merch? did you get the full seasons? #no. shut up. you destroyed their rep in the anglosphere. forever #who got the dolls? who got the wands? who got the easter eggs? NOT YOU #text #miraculous feels like a third coming but it has such a large hatedom. i dont think it will be loved once the target audience grows

Vasco seems like a honeycomb (candy) type of guy tbh

Never heard of it before, but it looks nice. Apparently it's really easy to make at home as well? Is it good?? The texture seems interesting.

...wait, people are genuinely upset that greta gerwig didnt get nominated for best director for the toy commercial movie when the movie got nominations for best supporting actor, best supporting actress, best original song, best production design, best costume design, best picture, and best adapted screenplay for which greta gerwig was nominated?

#kai rambles #im sorry #im just like so annoyed at all the #''movie about feminism and patriarchy made by women has oscar nom go to ken'' reactions #as if no women were nominated at all????? #america ferrera was nominated #billie eilish was nominated #margot robbie was nominated as part of the best picture nom #greta gerwig was fucking nominated #like im sorry but this is like the white feminist version of a moral panic #also justine triet was nominated for best director for anatomy of a fall but i guess yall dont care about films in different languages #also lily gladstone got a best actress nomination becoming the first native american to nominated for an oscar #nimona got a best animated feature film nomination #in general we're seeing more non-english language films get nominations which goes a long way in convincing the general public in the #angliaphere to actually engage with media outside of it #*anglosphere #i just #your babys first feminism toy commercial not sweeping every category is a non-issue #and these reactions are so fucking embarrassing #like im sorry but the toy commercial movie happens to also have a lot of issues with white feminism #and a lot lf native americans have spoken out about it being outright hostile to them #its not a perfect film and its not being snubbed by the patriarchy #it just happens to be that there are other films that came out which were better
