Dearest PopGirls,

I'm beyond proud to finally present Mink's official guide to Parseltongue, created with the invaluable help of @creature-of-insomnia . This guide wouldn't be what it is without Ana; I couldn't have done it without her.

We've both worked incredibly hard to develop the Parseltongue language, not only for my story but also for you, dear readers. Now, instead of relying on mindless hissing or made-up words, you have a structured language to use in your fanfictions. The guide draws from the Parseltongue used in the films and is influenced by Greek words. Unlike the existing Parseltongue alphabets I've seen on the internet, which feel unrealistic and are often just based on the English alphabet, as well as entirely too long to be used in actual sentences, we've crafted something authentic and concise — something that can be used naturally in sentences.

It fills me with immense joy to finally share this with you all. I'm incredibly proud of what we've created.

The majority of the spreadsheet is complete, although me and Ana are still working hard on it to be as perfect as it can be.

My only request is that you give credit if you use it in your fanfics. If you'd like to contribute by suggesting words you'd like to see in this guide, please feel free to comment, and I'll do my best to add them.

You can find the official guide here:

Guess what, Merthur fans? We’re back!

Yes, Merthur Glompfest is returning in January 2025 for another round of fabulous fanworks, just for you 😘

What is a Glompfest, you ask?

A Glompfest is a gifting fest designed as a way for fandom creators to give back to those fans who wouldn’t usually be eligible to take part in a typical exchange fest.

How does it work?

Glompees (readers, lurkers, commenters, or fandom supporters of any stripe) will be asked to provide a prompt or prompts for glomping, which will then be claimed by Glompers (fandom creators, fic writers and fanartists) and filled according to the Glompee’s request. Completed works will then be posted to our AO3 Collection and shared here on Tumblr for everyone’s enjoyment!

For more information on how the fest works (and whether you qualify as a Glomper or a Glompee), check out our FAQ or send the mods an ask here on Tumblr.

💕 Don’t forget to follow @merthurglompfest for fest updates, and help us spread the love by spreading the word! 💕

SIGN-UPS OPEN: 1 Jan 2025 SIGN-UPS CLOSE: 15 Jan 2025

americans, send a letter to the white house

submit directly to the president click the first option and select Election Security as your reason here is a copy paste for those who want/need it "32 fake bomb threats were called in to democratic leaning poll places, rendering polls to be closed for at least an hour. A lot of people are reporting their ballots weren't counted for various reasons that are not sound (signature invalidation, information that vote counter could not have had.) This all occurred in swing states. (Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia). 2025 president candidate Donald Trump has hinted at foul play in the public press for months now. This calls for a requirement of an investigation for tampering/interference/voter fraud, not just a recount."

if you are under 18, do not fret, you can still send the letter.

IF YOU LIVE IN THE US, PLEASE READ THIS

Posting this from the bird app since I hope it can help people.

People have been contacting the White House directly to demand a recount, especially since there has been evidence that not every ballot has been counted and will be thrown away if it hasn't been cured.

The link to contact the White House is here!

The following screenshot comes from here!

If you need help writing something, check under the cut! I've provided a prewritten response from one of the replies!

"I am a concerned citizen, and I need you to hear me. I urge you to recount the ballots from this election and investigate election interference. Bomb threats have been called into multiple polling locations, causing some to close early. Domestic terrorists have burned ballot boxes. An unprecedented number of ballots have been rejected and require curing. There have been reports of polling officers allowing voter intimidation in and outside of polling places across the country and an estimated 20 million mail in ballots are unaccounted for. In addition, many people have reported that ballots were not counted for suspicious reasons such as signature invalidation which is information that vote counters do not have access to. These events have occurred in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia, for instance."

Feel free to add and change what you want, this is just a base for you to work off of.

“Don't think I don't understand loyalty just because I've got no one left to be loyal to.” -Morgana Pendragon from BBC Merlin

“i am a monument to all your sins” is such a fucking raw line for a villain it’s amazing that it came from halo, a modernish video game, and not some classical text or mythos

Free ticket to SPN convention and tea with Misha

are you registered to vote? You should be. And you should vote blue all the way down the ballot if you don’t want to live in a racist country. Misha Collins supports Kamala Harris so why shouldn’t you?
