catch me working smarter not harder, sucker

Jokes on you, I learned 80% of the linguistics I know from reading grammars/random papers for the purpose of conlanging.

#only way to learn linguistics #seriously even in my grad program #my grasp of like... what the data looks like on the ground #is way above my peers who just did ling degrees #not to diss them or anything but #you don't learn ling in school you learn it from reading 42069 language descriptions

Me asking for a drawing from mutuals: Oh god oh fuck I'm sorry I'm sorry I don't wanna bother you, you don't gotta do it if you aren't intereste, sorry, sorry-

My sister asking for a drawing from mutuals: HEEEY SO I WANT YOU TO DRAW THIS AND THAT, AND OOOH WHAT ABOUT THIS?? OH, DON'T FORGET-

#Not dissing on her or anything #I just find it funny how different the two of us treat it #Like she makes art requests practically 24/7 meanwhile I only make them once in a trillion years

Roy was entirely correct here I’m sorry to say and the fact that HE’S the only one to apologize. ??????? And then we just move on ??? they were so doomed I fear

#Rebecca was so right when she told keeley to stop auditioning her complaints #but then keeley doesn’t listen and it escalates to the point where she snaps and loses it #without Roy even knowing he was doing anything to bother her #how was he supposed to KNOW keeley!!!! #ahhhh I love mess #btw I actually think this is really such a compelling part of keeley’s character and I’m not trying to diss on her or them #(both of which I love) #but the potential was completely squandered when the show never once brings up keeleys flaws or gives her an opportunity to apologize #for anything. ever. #I thought it would be addressed in s3 and then….. hahaha #keeley jones #Roy Kent #ted lasso #ted lasso rewatch

Ride 733: Sugimoto vs Danchiku

Pag 1

1: By the way, Sugimoto-san, what about your “special technique”?

2: … ah

3: My self-awareness isn't that low that I didn't come prepared!!

Pag 3

2: Huh!?

3: He.... has it? A “special technique”!?

4: Sugimoto!!

5: I'll tell you one more time.... one more time

Pag 4

1: Come at me!!

Danchiku Ryuuhou!!

2: Go, Danchiku!!

4: Garu-

Pag 5

1: Bamboo Hop Shot!!

Garuaaa

Pag 6

4: He caught up in an instant!!

5: Nice, Danchiku

Pag 7

1: Keep going like this, pass him and tear him off!!

2: Sorry, Sugimoto-san, but!!

Please let me pass you, garuaa!!

3: I won't let you

4: do that, Danchiku!!

Pag 8

3: Damn!! Haha in such a crucial moment!! All these trees block the view and we can't see!!

Hahah!!

4: What happened to those two, teh...

It looked like Danchiku-san caught up to him in one go and passed him ,but

Pag 9

1: Sugimoto!!

2: Sugimoto!!

3: Don't worry, first years!! Once we pass these trees we should see that Danchiku tore Sugimoto-san off and opened a distance of 100... no, 200m

Teh!!

4: He'll be riding in the lead!!

5: Ah, right, that's true

6: There's something I heard from the senpais.... until now, Sugimoto-san never stood out in races or got any good result... he even retired sometimes...

7: On the other hand, last year during the Minegayama Hill-climb race, Danchiku-san fought against a guy from Hakone Academy who had participated in the Inter High

8: And he won!!

Teh!?

The difference in their strengths has always been....

Pag 10

1: clear...

Huh!?

Pag 11

1: They're neck and neck!!

2: Sugimoto-san!!

5: He's following!! Woah

He's working hard to stay lined up to him, teh, Sugimoto-san!! Huh!?

Pag 12

2: Haha, what are you doing, Danchiku!!

You have to pedal seriously!!

3: …. I was pedaling seriously....

6: When we passed the curve with the thick trees, I bent my frame with all my might

Pag 13

1: We hit each other's shoulders, and I thought he would falter

2: Then I kept accelerating like that and thought I could leave him behind

3:  But this guy

4: didn't fall behind!!

5: Moreover.... usually, when you're chasing an opponent, you stay behind them

You use your opponent against the wind... but this guy.... when accelerating now

Pag 14

1: He lined up next to me!!

As if he just wanted to prove that we're “equal”!!

2: Knowing that he's wasting his stamina!!

4: Of course, the second year is doing his best

So I, as a third year.... in this race

5: I'll let him practice against someone more experienced than him!!

Pag 15

3: Issa.... I...

Calm down, Danchiku!!

4: You're stronger than him!!

You're stronger!! It's alright, he justhappened to be able to follow you with his eyes in this first attack, that's it

5: Attack over and over again and you'll tear him off!!

This guy can't keep up with you so many times!!

6: Kaburagi-san... incredible.... teh

Yeah.... even though Sugimoto-san is right next to him, he's dissing him to his face....

7: Don't falter, have confidence, Danchiku

Yeah!!

8: Sugimoto-san!! For now, how about we say you race until that line over there?

The sun will set soon

This lap will be like...

Pag 16

1: “500km” for each other!!

5: A “special technique”, in other words, it's the momentary activation of you own's “field of expertise”

6: Understanding your own “field of expertise” polishing it up, consciously controlling and, it in time of need – that specialty...

Pag 17

1: letting it explode

-go!!

2: But that's not something everyone can do

3: And it's especially troublesome when you can't find your own “special technique”

4: Or it could be that for most people, they don't know what they excel in, what their specialty is

5: And in that moment, they have no choice but spend time looking for it

Pag 18

1: Using their intelligence and body, facing themselves and trying out

Over and over again

2: Only in the midst of “failure” you can find it

3: “Failure”, huh

4: Then, about that

Pag 19

1: you might be the most experiecned among us!!

Pag 20

1: Dammitl, he caught up again!!

2: What's this guy's deal...

Even though he's so out of breath!!

3: Danchiku!!

4: Back... back in the day....

5: Here is Sohoku there was a person called Tadokoro-san

His body was so huge... and he always thought of his kouhai

Pag 21

1: He said that in order to be fast, “oxygen” was important

So

2: I practiced runnin whil taking in oxygen a lot

3: And there was a person called Kinjou-san, and he was very skillful in controlling the bike, so I practiced imitating his bike control

5: It was all a failure, but, but, Danchiku- have you ever heard these words?

6: In road racing the most important things are “practice” and

Pag 22

1: “Experience”!!

6: Sugimoto-san jumped ahead!! Chyase him!! Danchiku!!

[potoo-nest-is-garbage-nest]

Been trying to understand what motivates terfs nowadays (bc curiosity never kills).

So fear and hate. Well.

#also #sorry to say that but all of them seem like #so American #it would be interesting to study a French one #terfs #terf #radfem #and like I would love to see at least ONE citing her sources #I’ve read so many posts going off #and not proving anything they say #dissing TRA #and they call themselves activists #they’re fear mongering #I’m tired of radical revolutionarista #they’re violent people only wanting war on everyone #they say they’re past reasoning with people when they’re the one cutting contact #and never asking questions #they are right and never wrong

[gailynovelry]

Gently shaking the sort of people who go like "ew why would anyone describe a book using tropes, that doesn't tell me anything about—" honey, it's because it's a convenient shorthand. If you want to know what the story is about in actual detail, then click the link and read the summary. Maybe read a few reviews and learn what the experience was like for other people. Please, I know that you are smart enough to do a little research on your own.

And if you're not interested in the way the author described the book anyway, then why are you wasting time telling them how uninterested you are? Go find something you actually like!

#vent #“describe the themes” #sure. describing themes means the sentence “this book is about my fear of queer genocide” #which if you'll notice is not in fact the aimless fluff you think all books ever described with tropes are #nor is it necessarily fanfiction-esque content #not saying that to diss fanfiction i am saying that because tropes are not exclusive to fanfiction and i am not really a fanfic writer #there are a lot of interesting literary conversations to be had with and about and using tropes #and i am tired of people lashing out at systems of categorization they refuse to use instead of figuring out how to find what they want #i'm blaming passive content consuming habits for this one #“i can't ever find anything that's not XYZ” #okay hear me out #are you actually taking the time to look through your potential possibilities #or are you staring ruefully at whatever the algorithm (or your mutual circle) served you up by happenstance? #you have more queer options than ever. far more than i had growing up (excuse the bitterness). learn how to hunt them down.

[eff-plays]

It's rly wild that I can't write fic without first combing through the source material just to make sure I don't get the dialogue wrong, while others just see a character they like, don't play the game, and learn about them through fandom osmosis and then write the fic anyway.

I guess it depends on what sort of fic you're writing. I could be worse and actually try to get things right based on Forgotten Realms lore, I suppose, but I can't even imagine writing fic about a thing I don't know at personally, at least on a somewhat casual level.

#idk what to tag this as lmao #but yeah i've seen multiple fics where the writer goes 'i haven't played the game so i hope i got this right!' #and more power to you but that couldn't be me #but also i see ppl do heavy research and try to get the lore just right and keep notes and stuff and yeah #couldn't be me either #this isn't a diss at anyone or anything #just pondering #sometimes i do wish i gave even less of a shit tbh #i feel like i'd have more fun with it that way #but naur ... i set my own arbitrary standards and won't let myself chill unless i reach them #womp womp #personal

Browsing redshit made me think about this,

I might be usually harsh him, but credit where it's due :

The game kills Jerry when Jerry is the one who calls Flamey "uwu not me but Solon i would have stopped them if i knew" bullshit

Oh, we've met all right. But back to you. You're the one responsible for the destruction of this village. Do not get the wrong idea. What in blazes does that mean? It is true that I am working with Solon. But that does not mean our objectives are the same. Had I known they planned to do this, I would have stopped it. You have my word. Your words are meaningless. Now, I'll have to insist that you accompany us back to the monastery.

(note how Jerry has the angry portrait!)

Of course it happens in the event where Jerry backtracks on everything he did before and realises he had been stupid but hey, the game and its red herring is written around this "plot induced stupidity" -

Assuming logic exists in a Fodlan game and Kronya missed his vitals - would Jerry eventually side with Billy in CF?

Regardless of Rhage talking about failures and garbage, I see them as willing to spare Billy (they're his beloved kid after all) or maybe talk some sense in them - like hewwo, did you forget Remire and all? Clownya?

Maybe like a red unit that turns green - but attacks everyone on your team who isn't Billy, which means, of course, Billy will have to end them.

But siding with Flamey, I mean, Supreme Leader?

Nah.

And then Nopes was released lol

#I might by harsh on Jerry #seriously dude has been investigating Adrestia since he joined GM #imo he could have some doubts about Supreme involvment #but he dies before revealing anything? #of course that red herring is that red herring #but in a way that's similar to another mentor figure from a manga i loved to diss on #they call the main uwu earl grey villain's reasons bullshit #and are fridged as a result because you/the hero has to uwu about them #FE16!Jerry seems like a loser but with a good side as he ultimately wants to repay the people of Remire #and is crossed when they are foddered #Nopes!Jerry doesn't see anything wrong with joining Adrestia #heck in AM don't we kill him when he's still working for the Empire in part 2 when people are killing each other in Adrestia? I forgot #FE16 #3 nopes

also anyone who talks about barbie and brings up ryan gosling or michael cera before margot robbie or america ferreras performances is on my list

#americas performance is going sooooo underrated. i LOVED margot and she was perfect for barbie #but i loved americas character and her performance was so sincere and genuine it was truly one of the best in the movie #she brought a groundedness to the movie while still being silly and fun and energetic herself #i could not imagine anyone else playing the part like she did tbh she was perfectly cast #this is not a diss at ryan or michael btw i loved both of them and they were also well cast and gave great performances #it’s just the principe of everyone’s first comment being ‘ryan gosling was great’ and not anything about the women leading this film

[starswallowingsea]

THIS

is the Ediacaran period and THIS

is the Cambrian period. Got it?

#shay speaks #geology #the ediacaran was before animal life as we know it evolved. or plants really #we arent sure what those things are we just call them shit like dickinsonia #literally look up ediacaran biota and just look at all the artistic renditions #its soooooooo cool guys everyone study geology its so cool #ediacaran biota my beloved fr fr #ALSO EDIACARAN CNIDARIANS!!!!!! #okay im done geology posting!!! go forth and uh. idk tell people about the ediacaran ig #also im not dissing the cambrian by any means its still an absolutely fascinating piece of geologic/earth history #but we did not have trilobites or anything during the ediacaran when we had the silly leaf looking biota #its actually hypothesized that the rise of trilobites and multicellular life in general brought about the end of the ediacaran biota #bc they just disappear from the geologic record. gone. kaput #okay fr this has been geology with shay

would it b a hot take 2 say kel would forgive sunny last if at all

#mums said smth again #omori #like he helps sunny all throughout the game and the two of them finally start 2 feel like friends again #idk it’s a thought #it’s not rly fleshed out or anything #but i feel like kel would b so severely affected #obv everyone would like Duh but #idk #everyone talks abt aubrey forgiving sunny bc she nearly killed both him and basil and hero isolating himself and blah blah blah #but kel doesn’t have that #it’s almost like he’s completely detached from the situation #the most uninvolved in the grieving of mari #and whatnot #feel free 2 diss me or tell me i’m wrong or whatever but i do think it’d b an interesting conversation 2 have #oh yeah #omori spoilers

trying to think how shaunanat as a couple isn’t sold to me yet and i think it’s mostly seeing them as this same coin-opposite side kind of thing and weirdly enough it goes the same with jackienat. the jackienat bffism and shaunanat fwbism sit more than well with me and either way it keeps on hitting the ‘nat’ as the link between jackieshauna; nat as the chain; nat as the chosen martyr between a doomed love

i see that jackie and nat find in each other their flaws and common admiration for shauna but that is not only it; they both have been put on expectations from the outside that simply do not match who they are within. both finding in each other that yes you are worth of love, you are worth of being free from an abusive environment, you are worth. period. not only a complement of each other but also a work in progress towards being better, towards avoiding making the same mistakes to those you care so much about; jackie’s leadership easing out nat’s impulses; nat reasoning against jackie’s feelings; it’s metal against fire ready to melt and become something else entirely but still theirs

shauna and nat share this common ground of unable to respond with words but rather impulsive actions led by desire; it is like trying to run from yourself but you keep bumping into it over and over again as if hitting your head on marble and calling it a chisel; it’s knife against rifle, bullet against blade, metal on metal ready to create sparks that ignite an explosion. you can’t run from yourself but you can try hiding your fingers inside each other if it means relief from the weight put on your shoulders

in my mind they are this triad that should not work together but somehow do; facing the mirror that is jackienat they dont like what they see because shaunanat stares right back at them.

#this is not a call out or dissing or anything Bad i am just having a moment and kinda personal study of these three #idk if i am making sense but i needed to try to organize these thoughts before they became voiceless #my mind just keeps on reeling in this bc Maybe i am too deep in the jackieshauna world to see anything past them #shaunanat #jackieshauna #yj ramble #personal #i guess #yellowjackets

Okay so in general the new Monster High songs don’t quite stick with me other than the introduction songs for Lagoona and Frankie getting stuck in my head or Twyla.

But the new song with Cleo singing about her insecurities is REALLY sticking with me unlike the other ones, like it just brings out Cleo’s character a little more I guess, and then her seeing that she has people in her corner that love her, support her and SEE her. It’s just so sweet and also the song is just plain good I love it. 

#not to diss the other songs or anything but I tend to forget them the second the video is over #mh #mh g3 #g3 mh #monster high g3 #g3 monster high #monster high #cleo de nile #song #music #i love g3 cleo like a LOT so maybe that's also it #or maybe because it's relatable but so was lalas sooo idk
