In bbc merlin you hear all the time about the Old Religion - which implies existence of the New Religion. Only recently i worked out what it's ought to be.
It's Christianity.

i'll let phie-san say it:
#the vids i've seen on tiktok picking at her immediately get a block...#bitter otaku sitting in their socks in their mom's basement feeling threatened/enraged by a hot successful black woman outnerding them-core#also this kind of criticism is so demoralising and damaging to people who are trying to learn another language#also. accents are NORMAL and not a bad thing#i don't think that the end goal of picking up a new language necessarily has to be sounding native#and i know sometimes the way japanese people react like SUGOIII? *W* when a foreigner says like one (1) word in japanese is joked about#but like... genuinely... i always love when someone clearly has made an effort and took the time to learn some of the language#anyway she can step on those haters <3#also like. it’s just some lines in a song people need to relax…#megan thee stallion#autoplay warning#japan#japanese#language#mamushi

“1950s horror movies contrast radically with their 1940s predecessors. understandably – they were reflecting a whole new world. audiences wanted stories that connected directly to their lives, to the ever-expanding technology in their homes and workplaces. they also wanted horror movies that played to their fears – stoked by politicians – of the shadows that lay beyond their immediate, personal experience of the shiny american dream (applies to some of these movies).”

Does anyone else think about how Sakura was so excited and FRIENDLY to Suo when he thought he was a foreigner? If I had to count how often I think about that I'd say I'm never not thinking about it.
He introduced himself so POLITELY. Even tried to accommodate him by greeting him in English. He was so fuckin stoked thinking he was being kind to a foreigner.
(I'm also always thinking about how he got out the "I am-" and the part he got stuck at was his name my booooyyyy 😭)
#Sakura wants to be hospitable to foreigners confirmed#Nirei would drag them to all the most fun places - to interrogate them#Suo would tell them lies like 'beware of those pesky tsuchinoko. They'll get ya.'#Sakura Haruka I know what you are - a NICE BOY#who worries about lonely people#second languages r hard mby he was stumped coz he knows first names are customary but is inherently shy about introducing himself as Haruka#i know id feel weird about introducing myself by my last name but maybe i should its HILARIOUS watching people try to pronounce it#wind breaker#sakura haruka#suo hayato#wbk

#dcmk#detective conan#m27 spoilers#hattori heiji#kuroba kaito#edogawa conan#my art#i watched it in the cinema so i'll need to watch it again when it's subbed online since it was pretty fast paced and i forget#i liked when ran was desperately feeding heiji's ego so that he'll confess to kazuha!#i also liked momiji and iori just having fun and being silly on their side quest#disclaimer: the popularity poll thing might not be entirely true- it's really hard to find old results for official polls ok i tried my bes#trying to look up past popularity poll results for a 30 year long series that's very unpopular in the eng world will have you trawling thru#old forums and looking up foreign language fandom wiki sites#i found some fun stuff though i might collect them and make a separate post stay tuned

It will never not be funny to my how much dnp do not understand polyamory. To them Dalien having a situationship with a couple people at once with the intent to find the one person who he’s actually going to date and be his soulmate is polyamory
#the idea of an endgame that isn’t two soulmates in a committed long term relationship is completely foreign to them#dan and phil#dnp#daniel howell#phil lester#dan and phil games#phan

of course you have a blue kanohi and pronouns
#bionicle#boncle#it’s funny cuz naturally blue matorans always use she/her#which are basically neopronouns to them#cuz nothing has a biological sex in the bionicle universe#so it’s all just gender presentation#this would be so fascinating to study but the post processual mindset has me wary of introducing the potentially foreign concept of gender#like they prolly have an analog#but they way they experience and express it is probably a faor b#bit outside of the western global north of earth notion of gender#and the fact that they are functionally immortal probably has really interesting ramifications for their identity#somebody get me greg’s contect info#i have an interview to conduct#it’s the next best thing since participant observation seems a bit out of the question for me#anthropology#lego

I haven’t read these books in years WHAT is the angel fetuses. What is happening
LMAO yeah there's actually been three instances where Warrior Cats made fetuses into StarClan characters. We're joking about Moonpaw's absorbed fetus twin (Starpaw/The Voice) meeting with Clear Sky's first dead wife's unborn kids.
The first time they did this was in the last book of DOTC, on Gray Wing's deathbed. Bright Stream, last seen in early pregnancy and being carried off by eagles to be gruesomely eaten alive, shows up accompanied by Tiger Tail and Pale Sky. Her embryos.
Because they show up in this big fanservicey montauge of all DOTC's fridged wives happily living as eternal mothers in StarClan, I sardonically call them the Dead Angel Fetus Children.
(It's dark humor to cope with how much the concept freaks me out)
And with Moonpaw, I have to explain how fusion chimerism works.
There are a few types of chimeras, but when a single individual is created from the combination of two fully fertilized zygotes, that is called fusion chimerism. That's what Moonpaw is.
And you have to understand, we're talking zygotes as in cells. The fusion of haploid gametes. NOT embryos (developing major organs) or fetuses (has major organs). When multiple embryos or fetuses are detected during pregnancy, but one vanishes, that is called Vanishing Twin syndrome (VTS).
There is actually very little linkage between VTS and the chance of a baby being born with fusion chimerism. At best it's an overstated link. At worst, it is a general misconception of Vanishing Twin syndrome.
Fusion Chimeras can happen in a lot of different ways, most of them fertilization errors, very few of them involving the multiple embryos of VTS. Likewise, the vast majority of VTS cases do not result in fusion chimeras. I explained Chimerism in-depth over in this post, and I encourage you to follow my citations to learn more if you're interested.
Sooooo... we're not even talking fetuses for Starpaw and Moonpaw. If they ever were separate, it would have been as embryos at best.
Which means that Moonpaw is haunted by cells that hadn't even developed major organs.
Ergo, we're joking around about how peculiar it is that Supernatural Utero Ghosts have happened thrice.
#In the desire to not gesture vaguely; it's because Canon!WC has strongly conservative themes and values imo#The exaltation of obedience to religion and clan/family/social group#Emphasis on traditional values and 'rejecting' soft lives#Constant assertion that there are Fundamentally Good and Fundamentally Bad people#Along with constant fearmongering and reliance on outside foreign threats to Threaten Your Freedoms#I don't even think the writers do it on purpose.#I wouldn't even accuse them of not being liberals/center left/labor/whatever#Mostly I just think this is what not examining your subconscious biases ends up looking like for White Middle Class Brits Of A Certain Age#Bone babble#Dead Angel Fetus Children

This is a deck of Happy Families cards I drew for my mum / myself, since it's a great game to teach kids "Have you got?"/"Do you have?" "Yes, I have."/"Yes, I do." in EFL classes, and her old deck from the 90s was in tatters
#It bugged me a little that every family needs to have a Mr and a Mrs to keep the game as simple as possible#so if any teachers on here have any ideas how to include queer families in a game like this I'd love to hear them#teaching#english teaching#lesson plan#efl#english as a foreign language#primary school#primary education#English games#teachblr

Arne belongs to @ronkoza
#it’s like they cannot stop reaching out to each other#Arne’s a very tactile person and touch was such a foreign concept to Tor when they’ve first met#so with Arne by his side he literally got a crash course in casual intimacy#so yeah#them#my characters#my art

Bonus! "Longarm Prime"
#maccadam#poll#transformers#smash or pass#tfa#shockwave#longarm prime#they were so based for giving us a compact chubbier shockwave with an insane degree of ass#how do you think he feels about having hands and a face#is it new terrotory for him? a foreign; alien feeling that he cant quite get used to?#is it nice having extra digits? surely it gives him better dexterity. or maybe hes clumsy with them.#he could do neurosurgery with those claws before. maybe having the extras are unwieldy. clunky.#and what of his face? is it strange being able to emote? to telegraph his emotions just by visual cue?#does he do it automatically? it seemes he forgets to emote altogether sometimes. does it feel more like controlling a puppet?#is it all new to him? or has he felt it all before and never thought he would again?#in which case. is it more odd to be controlling a face that isnt his than having no face at all?#anyway hes cute and chubby and a terrible liar and he smiles like hes stoned sometimes so i wanna fuck him senseless
