not to be unserious on main but throughout a very inconsistent slew of episodes the thing that’s really sending me about season 2 of shadow and bone is that everyone is hardcore struggling and then u have matthias who is literally going thru some sort of sexual awakening in prison. his cellmate is like find god and matthias is like i cannot :(( too busy having impure thoughts about nina zenik :(((
like literally everyone else is getting beaten shot stabbed fighting sea monsters and matthias is going through the world’s longest no nut november challenge while unholy by sam smith plays in the background and just overall he has the vibe of a kid who just escaped the sexually repressive atmosphere of catholic school and is panicking at the onslaught of dirty thoughts he’s experiencing for the first time

When people go off about how English is the worst language, I just wanna point out a few things:
- Our future tense requires only one word (looking at you, Spanish)
- Words don’t change meanings depending on tone (Cantonese)
- We don’t live in some bizarre Beauty And The Beast world where we give inanimate objects genders (romance languages, German)
- Likewise, we don’t have have two different words for “they” because we don’t care whether “they” were male or female (Spanish, French)
- There’s no formal “you” because we don’t play mind games about whether or not we respect you (Spanish, German)
- We don’t alter the whole fucking language based on how much we respect you (Japanese)
- The letters and sounds might not be consistent, but at least we have letters, not just pictures (Mandarin)
- We don’t have a fucking stupid tense specifically for talking to two people because some idiot decided that a two-person tense was necessary (Arabic)
So yeah, I think we’re doing okay as a language

My mom asked me how to screenshot on her iPhone. I laughed and then remembered she taught me how to use a spoon and a toilet.
