#AND ENGLISH. (sometimes)

Sure sure romantic pairings are fine and all. But more people should perhaps consider two characters loving each other to the point of incomprehensibility. To the point that there is no simpler way in english to define or describe it than just to say those characters’ names together, joined eternally by the vague conjunction ‘and’. There’s so many types of love and dependencies and emotions in general thrown in there that you can’t tell what colors they are anymore, they’ve just joined into a giant blobby mess that’s almost black, but when you look closer glistens with more colors than there are names for. Just a thought
#make yourself confused when it’s time to tag a fic and you’re left staring at / and & pondering the inner workings of english#and the nature of love as a whole#aromantic#aroace#writing#linguistics#I just get tired of romance being the default sometimes don’t mind me#star rambles#star gushes

Did you think I was done? Ahahahaha no, I have more.
Because chapter 70 of MOMU gave me the very dynamic between them that I missed so much, I just blacked out and started drawing uncontrollably lmao
Also. ALSO. I noticed a while ago that Prowl has the habit of..like…constantly frowning. So. I did a bit of research and made this graph.
In 70 chapters, Prowl frowns rougly 104 times. And the intensity of this gesture is very clearly correlated with the development of his relationship with Jazz, as you can see ahahahahah It might be wrong tho don’t take me seriously I’m not good with graphs

#maccadam#transformers#prowl#jazz#jazzprowl#fic fanart#momu fanart#I just#mmmmm#For the whole fic Prowl had to think twice about everything Jazz says#every information could end up being wrong#sometimes even without Jazz realising it#so when Prowl says#he’s trusting Jazz. it’s.#also it totally wasn’t me googling ‘believing and trusting nuance difference in english’#the moment I realised the difference I think my brain started rollercoaster loops#he can’t believe him but he found enough faith to trust him#while. YES. For the whole story Jazz couldn’t fucking be believed#list e n#Jazz did a lot of things for Prowl#fucktons of big and small gestures to show that yes he likes loves and appreciates Prowl#I’m so happy Prowl is returning this energy#like#remember that scene a while back when Jazz kissed Prowl? Cool cool okay. Did Prowl kiss him? nope. It was one sided gestures#*gesture. That kiss didn’t make me feel like it’s truly something precious because Jazz started it but Prowl didn’t do quite the same#but this👆. This feels so much more important for me. Because Prowl#who is for the whole story was mister I calculate every chance of possible betrayal. Prowl whos entire personality is to trust nobody#Prowl goes. Fuck that I trust you. You feel me?#it wouldn’t be the same if he said I love you. Because love is very much something you don’t have a lot of control over.#but to trust someone? It’s a choice Prowl had to consciously make. You see what I mean? I love it. oh fuck I ran out of tags..

Bilingual Ice, my beloved. Translating Polish idioms word for word, randomly switching languages when he's tired around people he feels comfortable with, calling things Polish terms because they fit better, and getting frustrated when no one understands and there's not a good enough English equivalent.
Slider has known him long enough that he understands what he's trying to say and just nods along, he basically has A1 level Polish at this point, and he's helping Mav learn all the Ice-isms.
Ice who swears in Polish when the situation really calls for it. One time, a lieutenant walked to his office and overheard him muttering God knows what - didn't understand a word, only that it sounded so fucking angry that he figured his request can wait.
Ice who, as is the age old curse, forgets words sometimes, and Mav would never dare make fun of him for it, unless he's really desperate for something to deflect with.
Like when Ice is yet again lecturing him on how he should drive his own damn bike, except this time it's kind of different, because Ice sounds genuinely worried, more than before, and it's a hell of lot harder to just dismiss him.
But then Ice shuts up in the middle of a sentence. He's taken a quick breath to continue angrily, says, "You need-!" and then nothing. He opens his mouth on a word that isn't coming and Mav really needs a way out of here, so he dares to smile.
"I need to what?"
"Odpierdol się," Ice mutters, which is a phrase Mav is more than familiar with. Fuck off.
A saving grace, for both of them, probably, comes in the form of Slider casually strolling through the door. He lifts an eyebrow at the two of them standing in the middle of the room, and Ice huffs as he gives up on trying to remember the word he wants on his own.
"Slider," he says, still somehow keeping up the exasperated tone he was using on Mav. "Kask."
Slider grins wide. "He's yelling at you to wear a helmet again, huh?"
Ice throws his hands up. "He might not be so lucky the next time he crashes!"
"You crashed?"
Oh no, this is not working out the way Mav wanted it to, at all. "I didn't!" he tries to defend himself. "I just got scraped!"
"You fell off the bike!" Ice reminds him rudely. "You need to wear- the goddamn thing!"
Mav grabs onto the slightest hesitation in his voice like a drowning man scrambling for the last inch of the rope. "You mean the helmet?"
"Yes! The fucking helmet!"
Mav looks to Slider for help, truly a last ditch attempt, but he just shakes his head. "You really should, you know."
#will i ever stop projecting on iceman kazansky#that is the real question#slider understands him like no one else <3 literally#mav is a little shit but he loves him <3#hope the polish is okay#i used google and my slav cred as source#top gun#tom iceman kazansky#pete maverick mitchell#ron slider kerner#polish tom iceman kazansky#icemav#no joke sometimes when i'm tired i speak bad english on purpose#feels less mentally exhausting for some reason

One small detail I think about a lot in Stormlight Archive is how Alethi isn't Shallan's first language. Sure, she knows it well, but it isn't her native tongue. Most of the people she interacts with (except her brothers) speak Alethi to her. She can go days without hearing or speaking Veden.
I wonder if she starts forgetting Veden. I wonder if she pauses when talking to her brothers trying to remember some obvious word, but only Alethi comes to mind. I wonder if she is annoyed in her head when there is a word that exist in Veden but has no clear analogy in Alethi and she can't use it because of it.
#Sometimes I wonder#I speak english well but that doesn't mean I want to go around without speaking my native language#shallan davar#stormlight archive

turnabout kids and their sprites! ive had an ask laying around in my inbox about them for far too long lmfao, so ive finally decided to draw em out

jane: mime porcelain doll + poppop
dirk: seagull + hal
roxy: wizard figurine + frigglish
jake: gcat + his dreamself
#homestuck#homestuck turnabout#turnabout au#homestuck au#jane crocker#jake english#dirk strider#roxy lalonde#poppop#frigglish#lil hal#hal strider#gcat#ive thought if it should be frigglish or mutie thatd be roxys sprite but i thunk frigglish fits more#since in canon mom was the one who got mutie i imagine in tb itd be rose whod get mutie this time#idunno if this makes sense homestuck is too complicated for my brain sometimes#also jane gets harassed with mimes instead of clowns#i think it fits with kurloz giving her nightmares through chucklevoodos and parallels with johns clowns nicely#while still making jack pissed off about his new fit bc of all the frills hell have to wear#leading to him becoming jack cat?? cat noir?? *miraculous ladybug flashbacks*

Instead of writing a fanfic like a normal person this oneshot turned into two separate, contextless things,

#sorry it’s how my brain works (sometimes can only see things in terms of tv scene-)#tumblr exclusive video fancy…#dcmk#my art#(quietly coughing and spluttering) OK alright I can feel the creative brain explosion slowing down. geez#coughs.#nyways. weird that there hasn’t really been a main case where poison is involved in a certain way#If I watch my own scribbled boards for too long im gonna get too embarrassed to post. Send post#Subarus hair is still infuriating by the way like take that off your normal hair is easier. The beanie is easier#you like Have to have the side corners on this haircut or it doesn’t look right#anyways. shiho ptsd moments I think she kind of gets irritated that shinichi doesn’t react the same so when he does she gets like#weirded out and vindicated and a little protective. Like woah wait. Love that you understand me rn don’t like that you feel bad I am going…#to…………. ssssssssssit here about it…………………………….. uhhhh. do you want. a rubix cube to get your mind off it#I don’t want to talk about my feelings I just want you to get it. you don’t wanna talk about your feelings either which is……………. Hmmmmmm#I like her. love of my life miyano shiho#masumi sera#conan edogawa#ai haibara#akai shuichi#let conan swear. HE SWEARS A LOT BUT LET HIM SWEAR IN ENGLISH I KNOW HE KNOWS THEM#man needs his emotional support akai family they like him#rigorous trials to being approved by the akai matriarch but everyone else likes him already and have already picked him up multiple times#and shuichi would let him swear

#for my own curiosity#i learned cursive in elementary school but didnt really use it for most of my life#this past summer i made an effort to brush up on it and now it's my default#people say i have nice handwriting sometimes but i dont think my cursive is particularly clean. more so that it's just fancier than print#i know schools dont teach it as often anymore but i wonder what the general population is like on it#this is all contextualized by me being american and writing in english of course
