[averwonders]

It's about time people need to stop thinking of dialects and accents (especially minority and rural ones) as a judging factor or something to mock. People shouldn't have to feel ashamed, humiliated, insecure or fear of being judged for having a hint of their native dialect/accent while speaking the standard version of a language or even speaking in them completely at a new place.

#I'm tired of the mistreatment dialects and accents get #especially in the cities #like just cause a person is speaking in an accent they become backwards or illiterate? #how stupid is that #we need to embrace our dialects and accents #we need to give them the respect they deserve #this is me crying over the fact that i never learnt to speak my native dialect cause i grew up in different cities and got mixed vocab #although i can understand it cause everyone else in my family speaks it #awadhi my beloved #aver does shit post #dialects #accents #linguistics #desiblr #why are asian societies so judging ㅠㅠ #it's so sad to see dialects and accents being in the list of things that make people feel insecure #someone's accent isn't something to joke about or mock #it isn't cool to find accents entertaining to laugh at #having accents doesn't make someone an alien for you to judge

#visenya targaryen. || visage. #daenerys targaryen. || visage. #( alt. ) #thinking about Them #d.any & her moon of my life vibes & her lunar imagery !!!! #bc atp if the velaryons are black in the show & d.aenerys has martell dayne & blackwood heritage?? she's Very mixed poc atp #iirc daenerys & viserys & rhaegar are like. what 1/10th targaryen as aegon & co. they're not even full targaryen or w/e that means lmao #so i interpret daenerys is being like. HEAVILY mixed. like. white black native desi latina & visenya is half black. #hence the alts !! #bc i interpret the blackwoods as indigenous / first nations coded; betha blackwood was an indigenous queen of westeros #bc remember daenerys has non-targaryen heritage too. the daynes of starfall through dyanna dayne mother of aegon v who i interpret as desi. #the martells of sunspear through myriah martell mother of maekar i & i personally interpret the martells to be very mixed desi latine coded #the arryns of the eyrie through aemma arryn mother of rhaenyra i targaryen who were hella white. #house blackwood of raventree hill through betha blackwood mother of jaeherys ii & shaera targaryen who i personally interpret as indigenous #house massey of stonedance through alarra massey grandmother of jaehaerys i & alyssane targaryen who i interpret to be mixed indigenous. #house rogare of lys through larra rogare of lys mother of aegon iv & naerys targaryen. #& finally house velaryon of driftmark through valaena velaryon the mother of aegon i visenya & rhaenys targaryen #& on TOP of that alyssa velaryon mother of jaehaerys i & alyssane targaryen. who in the show the velaryons are canonically black. #like. can you imagine how insane & powerful it would be seeing a mixed girl of color go from a timid abuse victim to becoming a dragon quee #a BEAUTIFUL & POWERFUL dragon queen who rides dragons & ends slavery?? the whole mhysa scene?? that'd be fucking insanity #& on TOP of that she's a CONQUEROR almost taking on a genghis khan role so if she DOES conquer westeros ?? she'd technically be an EMPRESS #but the predominantly white fandom doesnt wanna hear that so lmao #& also my daenerys is allied with the velaryons & the celtigars who're mixed east asian - valyrian & yitish mixed. #betha blackwood was her great grandmother; dyanne dayne her great great grandmother & myriah martell is her great great great grandmother ! #larra rogare is her great(x5) grandmother; aemma arryn is her great (x7) grandmother ! idk i just think its neat lmaoooo #& not to mention even if the targaryens are white originally later on down the lines especially they'd be VERY mixed even w/ the inbreeding

[laniidae-passerine]

but genuinely you can’t be doing the whole ‘oooooh two divorcees looking for emotional connection after heartbreak!’ and ‘I believe in romcommunism’ and ‘is it Ted that Rebecca is texting on banter???’ and ‘watch as they grow independence and self love but constantly with the feeling they’re intertwined in some lovely, chosen way’ just to go ‘actually they never get to together and Ted fucks off back home to the place that is now shaped by not great memories’. The fuck??? I’m bisexual, I was so there for the deeply unlikely TedTrent but I always thought TedBecca would happen because it makes more narrative sense. For two whole seasons they orbited around each other with this impending sense of collision, this hope they could find love in the strangest of conditions, in a stranger they’d never have chosen, only for that to be completely ignored??? This isn’t about ooooh heterosexual couple didn’t kiss (I will die on the bi4bi or at least Bi Ted hill fuck you) it’s about the fact that now, tons of moments are stupid as fuck! You played that with a hint of romance! You played that like something was going to happen! You wouldn’t shut up about Rebecca’s love life and Ted’s need to let go and have somebody else handle it all for him, they seemed made for each other from the start and you went ‘nah fuck it’????? WHAT IS THIS????

#ted lasso critical #sorry to tedbeccas!!! sorry to you!!! #coming from a ted multishipper who would have cheered if beard and him kissed with tongue #you guys were the ones who were supposed to win! we were meant to go ‘ah shame about tedtrent but we did see this coming congrats’ #and then all go back to ao3 together in peace!!! I was going to read tedbecca celebration fics invetween roykeeleyjamie and tedtrent ones!!! #AND WE ALL FUCKING LOST #I’m enlisting in tedbecca army now how did this happen #FOR A SEEMINGLY CISHET WHITE COUPLE???? THEY LOST??????? THEY NEVER LOSE???? #wow. literally the one couple like that I was rooting for above all the other options and they went fuck you. ted gets nobody and goes home #yeah you wish you were crazy ex girlfriend. but you’re not. they EARNT that ending. you earnt none of that. lord above it sucked #ted lasso spoilers #ted lasso #also sorry back in my notes to clarify as a person who is also mixed race #I know cishet couples can lose if it’s a biracial couple <3 but like #just used heterosexual as shorthand sorry

#Doodles #SCII #Helix #ZEX #Dexter Favin #Hhhh they ;; Their ''first'' interaction! #Officially up to three cryings - not that I'm surprised I love Dex <3 #My head was fully abuzz during this scene there are so so so many interesting details! #So interesting to see which ''held true'' and which were left behind - which ones became Helix while others didn't! #At this point I almost see Helix as an alternate timeline - kind of like how Defeated is a branching arm off the main body #Not terribly dissimilar but the details that are different are too interesting to let go of so just make it all canon in its own way! Hehe #Especially since Helix is largely from Max's 3rd person perspective so the way he tells it is different than Dexter haha #Very interesting what he leaves out in his retelling hehehehe ♪♫ #Anyhow enough of Max he's not even here rn sheesh ♪ ZEX! And Dexter ;; #Hghhghh it's all set up so deviously <3 That fact that up to this point ZEX has been relying on Zelnick especially to give him credence #And then as soon as someone he ''knows he trusts'' comes to throw a wrench into things - Dexter has as much weight or more! #He's specifically engineered to sow doubt and confusion! Gosh what a place to grow his character from <3 <3 #ZEX's pride undoes him completely it's So well written ♥ Truly a fatal flaw for VUX and the way he's picked apart aghh <3 #And?? The fact that I can hear ''Max's'' voice in ZEX's syntax as soon as he doesn't have a good argument??? Hello???? #I know they come from the same base but like!! How!!! Masterful 💖 #As I drew it it's a bit out of order - Dexter says he can't protect Max (😭) before ZEX starts crying it all got a bit mixed in my head #I was very emotional at the time you understand haha #It's all so sad! They're so close in some ways to being or having what the other wants but both fall just short #No wonder they took what little comfort in each other they could <3 ZEX comforted by his voice and Dex comforted by caring for his body #They have so little to offer each other trapped as they are ;; #It's all so interesting and distressing!! There's so much to think about as everything falls into place!

#the wedding was lovely and i am so sad #managed to get most of the sad out of the way Friday and Sunday so i could be glad for them on the actual wedding day #but still. i'm going to miss her. #we always talked about living together and we never did and now we probably never will #i've got a model of married folk living together in community but i don't think they do and it has to be something you choose #her family are lovely and i was really glad to meet her friends and cousins that she talks about so often but they don't really get it #they get to have her!!! she's moving somewhere that's more convenient for literally everyone other than me!

oop its uni ranking time again

the time of the year when I remember that since age 14 ive basically spent my life in educational institutions that have been at some point ranked #1 on some of these lists. ugh. bleh. nothing intelligent to say just now, I just always need to remember the ways this limits or biases my experience in addition to the ways it broadens it. someday I will finally write the big article that's been brewing in my brain about the meritocracy fallacy.

#if you ever wonder where my impostor syndrome comes from this explains it #since I was 14 I have been surrounded by people smarter than me #its a real mixed bag bc it means I know that some of these people really are geniuses but also I know how rigged the system is #and how not smart some of them can be #this isn't gonna make any sense #sorry #if I get personal about it for a second its kind of nuts this has happened #bc this has never at any point been my goal #im not an elite institution chaser #for HS it happened to be near where I lived and I applied on a whim #and went with a well lets see! attitude #for uni it was the dream school of the girl who sat in front of me on the bus #and I googled it and it sounded neat and I toured it and liked the vibe #for grad school they had a scholarship avail that seemed tailor made for me I didn't care what school it was at #how has this happened #its almost funny #coming to Tumblr once again bc it feels safer to shout into the void here

#raise your pencils!!!! and erasers. to fix the backwards letters 😔 #sorry still thinking about my weirdness with my art professors. yknow a lot of em have been really pushing us as #students to make our personal identities a major part of like our 'brand' as artists #which. well from an art history major perspective thats a very contentious and nuanced topic. i love a lot of artists who live this way #and i think its great seeing my peers who focus on identity thrive. but also as an fine arts major (double major fool LOL) #i keep getting pushed by teachers into like. specific '____ artist' identities??? #specificaly woman artist. which is a little bizarre because im a bit fat and a bit gnc so im generally like. ungendered? in day-to-day life #(which doesnt actually matter to me directly that much honestly LOL people tend to view me as like. buddy? buddy or pal.) #(not man. not woman. not anything human. sometimes i remind people of a beloved dog. which. hkdsahjk thats its own can of worms) #(a can of worms that also doesnt matter much to me directly because im a wannabe furry who chose to be the dog when playing house as a kid) #(LOL so um. well. theres that) but yeah i dunno i dont really consider myself a woman artist. its been. shockingly (and sometimes luckily?) #irrelevant to most of my life and experiences and art (although dont get me wrong misogyny is very real and very present) so i dont #have a whole lot to say about it from an art perspective. you could also call me all kinds of things. a queer artist. a mixed race artist #again technically correct. some aspects more visible in my work than others. but also very technical. i focus on race a lot in in my #art historical work but i dunno how much my drawings have to say. except that i keep making too many mixed ocs LOL #i dunno i just think my professors gotta focus that energy away from tokenizing me and over to supporting like actual #capital W Woman artists capital Q Queer artists capital A Artists of Colour who are doing far more interesting things than I #far more thought out and engaged in these topics directly. i just kind of stumble into my art blindly and confused <3 #sorry that was a long tangent WHAT IM SAYING Is despite all that: i do consider myself a capital D Dysgraphic artist #i think its an unmovable constant of my art and the way i draw and the way my hands move. the untrained eye doesnt seem to be as aware #of it directly. but those who are familiar can probably see it. the dysgraphia LOL if not just from whenever i write a letter or number #half of them are busted and frantically fixed HDKJSDJDS but its in all my art. if u can see it <3 ive been trying to embrace it #dygraphic artists raise your pencils indeed!! and throw away the eraser!!! make the legibility of your words everyone elses problem!!! #what does that say? what is that sketch? none of my business! none of your business!! its the business of my hand and the pencil alone #motor skill and spatial issues take the wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel

sorry i got strong feelings about eldritch creatures and how theyve been repackaged with the same aesthetics but not doing anything meaningful with them to justify them <<< is in annoying media critic mode

#LIKE WHY ANGEL IMAGERY. WHY SPACE IMAGERY. #im not wven against the concept but its sort of like copying what u like but not putting ur own twist #angels are linked with death. space is linked with death. you can mix it up #i really really want to see how creative ppl can be with this concept #theres something so cool with the way ppl take a concept and reinterpret it while staying in the definition its so so cool #unknowable means something different to others and its like my take on an eldritch creature will not be the same as another #bc when u start rehashing ideas i feel like u lose the writer style thats distinct to you yknow? the personality

[transingthoseformers]

Really a lot of my tag talking can become posts of their own and i need to do that more

Fuck would a median between the Optimi would be a fun exercise. It would very much tempter the bayverse and intensify the tfp in the character, and we could really touch on how Orion was feral (not only making him a little more wild But Also impacting how he thinks and in general his survival tactics and mindset.) Plus, the scientist/archivist cross over makes so much goddamn sense when you realize the Archives in Iacon were more than just a library, they were a straight up museum. And with relics like we see in tfp? Science is certainly needed.

In general the science bits of Optimus in bayverse were just never touched on (well we can say that about so much in the movies) and gODDAMN WE CAN USE TFP TO HELP WITH THAT. Tfp in general liked to focus on explaining the science behind a lot of what the Decepticons did, and in the Orion arc and shortly after we do see Optimus sitting down and decoding the database because it confirms his backstory and abilities in a visual way rather than simply telling us and going "trust us on that". He had a job before the war, and these were things we likely would've used and encountered every day.

Okay in damn general the tfp influences would explain so much about this supposed au ik ik damn it not another au shhhh. Like the eggs! We can actually sit down and explain this, like is it a brand damn knew method of (Asexual? Sexual? Cloning? Allspark nonsense? Sexual reproduction doesn't necessarily include like actual sex no it's just a transfer and mixing of DNA or well CNA for the Cybertronians) reproduction or is it something tgat was lost to time and more common in the later ages of the thirteen primes? More information on how the allspark cube works? The bayverse insecticons which are pretty small and can combine into this nearly razor thin being? Devastator and other combiners? The Quintessa and Unicron stuff we see in The Last Knight? The Far More Various fluids we see in Bayverse their various functions and a clearly more keen sense of smell (though personally I prefer the noseless design of tfp/rid15 and would to love to explain the ventilation systems or oh oh oh if in bayverse the Cybertronians have an analogous structure to the earth Jacobson's organ???) Just the sheer diversity of frames in bayverse? Shhfjjvvj so damn much.

#bv/tfp au #yeahhh i guess I'm doing this now #transformers prime #transformers bayverse #remember my personal opinion that bayverse would've been so much better as a bunch of novels #but! there's so much explaining we can do! #plus i think mixing the designs would be so fucking interesting because in pre-DotM we can actually see exactly how they transform #with so much more fluidity in their bodies plating and joints #science nerd train whoop whoop #also if you never took more advanced biology don't worry! there are many many videos on youtube! #my favorites are personally scishow crashcourse and kurszkazat! we actually would watch the last two in school! #tf worldbuilding?

blurr is so asian. To me

#ok to be clear to ppl who may nof know i am chinese sjhdkfjfk #mixed race asian actually but im not. discussing that on my robot blog this is not the place for that #i just think asian blurr humanformer is swag bc... heehee hes just like me fr :] #seeing white man blurr it just. it doesn't feel right to me #ESPECIALLY when they make his skin so pale its literally paper white like does this man ever go outside- #i understand that blurrs robot design does have literal white plating for his face but consider this. who give a shit #some of them have literal purple & blue faces we're not playing this game #besides the fandom already has this problem of considering white to be the default #legit saw. this exchange on twitter #abt someone calling out an artist for making the majority of their humanizations white while only. jazz was the only non white person #i think they even made windb1ade white which. :| ok #and another person defended them by saying there ''arent even that many poc characters'' #like wdym theyre all robots how can u say theyre white . its you who is defaulting them as white bc u think thats the norm :/// #anyway thats my off hand rant of the day #summary. blurr is asian bc i want him to be and i think its cool :] #other characters that have the asian badge of honor to me (that i can remember rn): pr0wl‚ j@zz‚ shocky‚ w1ndblade of course #dare i say. roddy also :] #OH wheeli3 too hes my little cousin who loves dinosaurs #(i actually have a little cousin who loves dinos so i think of wheeli3 in the same way) #my interpretation of him is largely based on my lil sis & my lil cousins so he has to be asian as a result. sorry i dont make the rules #ok ok thats all im going to say on this its already becoming incoherent #🐝 could you repeat the last part? 🟦

Don't know exactly how to express this in words but the Fast Car Tracy Chapman youtube comments section is a new emotion on its own

#i was going to take a screenshot of one comment but i just kept scrolling down and almost all of them were just affecting me #like i closed my eyes and listened to the song but scrolling through what people all over the world had to say was something as well #just the mix of appreciation for the music and love for it and how it affects all these people mixed with snippets of stories of #people using this song to get them through or inspire them to get themselves out of terrible situations #its just... things that make you feel human #its like this is a persons story. these are people we are all people and come from different places and have gone through different things #but we can all relate and feel the same. no matter where we come from we can feel the wish to escape the want to be somebody the desire to #change and the hope to do so. but theres also the fear and the responsibility and through all of that just wanting someone to love you and #go with you and not be alone #its just things that are real and true and make you feel how much of a person you are #i 100% recommend listening to fast car on youtube right now and then scrolling through and reading some of those messages by the way #its a whole other emotion of its own #its like the fast car tracy chapman emotion but more and even realer if that is even possible #its like one commenter said the song was a novel in five minutes but listening and then reading is even more than that. its not a book its #not a library its all these stories and lives around you coming together with your own in this one spot this one means of understanding and #through that you see part of all these journeys and these people and all understand each other and yourself and what it means to be a person #a little more #that seems like a lot of stuff but i dont know what to tell you. its true.

#liveblogging life #yes i KNOW that this is a wildly first world problem to have and that i should respect delivery drivers #but at the same time im like. okay. this person ordered a half galleon of half and half and a set of toothbrushes #not sure how you mixed that up with my like four bags of actual food??????? #actually my real frustration is with target which does not want to let me do refunds for some reason #so instead of being able to be like hey! wrong delivery! and get my money back w/o issue #i have to go to the chat and try to work it out with mark in hr or w/e the fuck #like i do sort of get it with food deliveries bc you just go pick it up and there's room for error #and you also... cant look in the bag half the time??? #but like. you can SEE what's in this grocery bag??? #i know im being a pedantic asshole for this but considering i have no easy transpo to the store and this is #the only way i can get groceries easily... very frustrating to get completely different stuff that i now cant make dinner with #mark from hr better give me a full refund or i s2g............

twitter adding a massive amount of completely random (and often negative or upsetting) tweets to the for you page and removing the context for why relevant tweets are there and instagram actually removing posts from your feed after you've seen them so it can say "you're all caught up" and show you posts from people you don't follow have rendered both almost unusable

#is there anything out there that can fix them. I've looked and it seems like no. nothing like xkit people seem to just settle #now I know what you can do for twitter is switch to following but I was used to for you. I don't follow a lot of people on twitter #so while I want to see a bunch of posts I don't want to follow a ton of people and flood my feed so I miss the posts #from the people I'm actually on there for #old for you mixed in some relevant tweets from adjacent people and boosted tweets from people I follow that I may have missed #(and there was a bit of random stuff mixed in sometimes you had to x out of but nothing like now) #on tumblr it doesn't matter because people mostly reblog and most of the content is similar but I literally only stayed on twitter #for creators who are only on twitter #(and because of the inherent nature of twitter tweets are so fleeting vs. tumblr where you can easily find/access posts) #(so on a website where posts are gone in an instant and you'll never see them again non-chrono maybe does have benefits) #on following without the boosting there's a million tweets from one account in a row and I miss the tweets from the others #and then there are barely any tweets other than that #but now on for you there's so much random stuff mixed in that I can't use it for very long anyway #instagram has a following tab that makes it how it used to be (chrono with no suggested posts. the ideal) but only on mobile. so #personal
