They’ve been rebuilding the Tower of Babel, but this time they have a team of linguists on site. Every time God smites the builders and invents a dozen new languages, the linguists have a dozen decently sized translations in about a month and work can start up again.
The linguists have been really into it. They say the new phonemes are fascinating. As for God, I assume that at this point he’s just curious to see how far this goes.
#flongal…#tag yourself im the voiced flongal stop#I wonder if you can use the flongus as a secondary articulator#like flongulization#we should allow genetic modification of humans just so we can invent new places (maybe even manners??) of articulation#linguistics

"Pyrrha crossed over to the truck, to Nona, and leant heavily into the interior; Nona could see that she was sweating, in exactly the same way she had sweated after the bottle of bleach. She mumbled 'You knew this was happening. You knew this was happening months ago,' and when Nona put her hand on Pyrrha's, it was like Pyrrha hadn't even noticed her."

Even the bird was not spared from pain. He flew off to find food for his little ones, but when he returned, he found them in pieces beneath the ashes of a burned branch. He stood silently, crying—unable to understand the language of war or why the souls he sang to every morning were taken away. If a small bird could feel such agony, imagine the heart of a mother under endless bombing, or a father holding the torn bodies of his children with shaking, powerless hands. Donate here
My name is Sami, and I speak to you from the heart of Gaza. We have survived being buried under rubble again and again, carrying our children as we flee from one death to another. There is no medicine, no shelter, no food. My children tremble from hunger and fear. I’m not writing this to sadden you—I’m writing to try to save my family. My mother is sick, my siblings are displaced, my children are starving. We live in tents that protect neither from the heat nor the cold. If you’re reading this, leave even a dot—it means you saw us. Please donate here. Someone is praying for the help you can give.
@el-shab-hussein @fairuzfan
A large number of people participate, but unfortunately, no one donates. I swear, I am talking to you and I am ashamed of you because I have not eaten for more than two full days.

WAIT IM STUPID I ONLY HAVE ONE NICKEL
If I had a nickel for every Gray man whose fiancé died before they could get married in Iron Gold I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.
#oh my god I can’t believe I fell for that#I was like huh that sounds a lot like Ephraim but he said his name was Philippe so clearly it’s not!#how am I so gullible sometimes#naurrrr don’t you dare drag lyria into this you sonofabitch

Did you know that JRR Tolkien wrote an unpublished epilogue to Lord of the Rings? It's achingly, beautifully wistful in the way that only Lord of the Rings is. I revisited it recently because I'm guesting on my friends' LOTR podcast, and THAT reminded me that I drew a comic of the epilogue back in 2021 (all text is entirely canon). Anyway I thought folks on this website might enjoy it!

Historically a lot of marriages have basically been political or business agreements between families that they expect will produce children so even if your setting is okay with homosexuality you can still write your character’s parents trying to pressure them into a hetero presenting marriage.
#literally like people have such a narrow view of sexuality and gender it makes it hard to be creative#like many people don’t understand that yes#even western societies once had entirely different conceptions of sexuality and gender#so many settings just transpose modern concepts of homophobia and therefore sexuality and gender into themselves#like noo hahaha you can be more creative than that I swearrrr#and anyways if it’s different from real world issues of hatred and oppression it’ll prob be more fun to read about! since it’s not gonna#make you think about real life parallels as much#anyways I didn’t mean to soapbox and I especially didn’t mean to do so in such a scattershot way so I’m cutting this off here#soapbox over#just like think outside the box more

I know you don't draw him too often, but I gotta say I'm absolutely MUNCHING and CRUNCHING (in a homosexual manner) on the way you draw Sevro. I am not normal about that man.
thank you he's like a bug under a rock to me
#MY LOVE AND MY LIFE#he’s so beautiful#that’s my husband#sevro au barca#so happy pierce brown made him such a girldad because he’s meant to be a girldad#red rising#iron gold#sevro#did I mention how much I love your sevro#it really captures the absolute stick of a man energy he has#but like a really strong stick y’know#anyways
