How can I have started a book, read the blurb on the back, the title and 30 pages, but only when I’m tracking my progress on the StoryGraph and only finding an English version of the book when searching by isbn I realise that the book is in fact in English and not in Dutch as I’d been convinced?!?!

#I also doubted for a second whether I read little thieves last week in English or Dutch #but it was English because I was thinking about how I did not vibe with how the English handled the German like words #I think this is the second time this happened to me with a book but damn #I am really fucked up now #this confuses me so much #I’m blaming the library’s Nieuw sticker #oh and the blurb the library put on the inside is also in Dutch #so it didn’t even click when I first read the English blurb on the back and then the Dutch blurb inside #I am not observant #my thought process was: huh weird the title in the app is english #checks the title on my book: is in English #me: huh weird but then sometimes they don’t translate titles #*checks the blurb* *is also in English*#*frantically checks the inside* *is also in English*#me: …#just like I kinda often read bits of text where I could not tell you the language right?#like I Google something and I go to Wikipedia and sometimes that’s Dutch Wikipedia and sometimes it’s English #and I don’t really notice or care #but now I was CONVINCED I was reading in Dutch #and that’s what’s getting me here #if you ask me what language this Wikipedia page was I would just not know #but if you’d asked me what language my book was I’d have said Dutch with full conviction #but it’s not????#i made an original post #part time booklr #books #reading #part time langblr

I kinda hate how the main take away in general seems to be "hahaha I love being a hater, kendrick is the king of being a hater hahaha" or "drake has a secret daughter" and not "there are mysogynist sex pests and pedophiles in the hip hop industry and kendrick used his clout to very publically call out one" like can we please not drop the pedophilia out of this conversation YET AGAIN like the jokes are funny and I also make some but I feel like this should be front and center of the conversation and men in positions of power always get away with this shit

#I am just tired in general #and no this is not just a tumblr thing but a general observation #kendrick lamar #drake

yes i Am paying real money to make you all look at our new dog. we've had her for 3 hours and if anything happened to her I'd kill everyone in this room and then myself. her name is Tater Tot

#dogs #🥔#we think she's somewhere in the 2-5 range but everyone gave us a different answer #they said aussie/pomeranian but i (self-proclaimed world champion of dog identification) am 99.998% certain she is aussie and great pyr #the shape of her tail and the way she moves but also oh my god. SO much hair. this is 80% hair and 20% animal #also she is very calm & gentle but every time one of us leaves the room she'll get up to observe where we go #she isn't distressed at all she's just keeping tabs on us which as i understand it is Peak pyr behavior #anyway she is 100% goodest girl and i wuv her 😭#chi's adventures in pet ownership

Just gonna have to wait and see, right? Just wait and see! Just gotta wait and see! Who knows, we'll just have to wait and see! It's anybody's guess, we'll just have to wait and see! The future is exciting, we just gotta wait and see!

#personal #my art #Fuck your fake ass 'i am very smart!' intellectualizing “observations” and open your god damn ears.#do something for fucks sake. it's sickening seeing videos of ai crap and seeing rows and rows of repliers using their one brain synapse #to type “wow! very exciting!” “haha this is kind of scary! but in a really interesting way!”#and then they go about their day without a second thought while creative industries burn around them #i go to one of america's top tech schools too and it's enough to make you wanna tear our your hair #every day it's seminars and talks about “the potential consequences of ai!” when the consequences are happening NOW #NO MORE DISCUSSING NO MORE INTELLECTUALIZING NO MORE SOCRATIC SEMINARS NO MORE DEBATING. ACT YOU COWARDS #people are getting hurt RIGHT NOW. stop pretending to care when you clearly don't! just be honest and say you wanna make money #my time here has really made me hate academic spaces. you people are so god damn useless and cowardly.

If Glen Powell didn’t get to kiss Miles Teller after he saved his life at the end of Top Gun Maverick then he doesn’t get to kiss Daisy Edgar-Jones at the end of Twisters. The universe balances things out.

That’s why Glen Powell is for the bisexuals.

Prompt 102

Bruce pinched the bridge of his nose, taking a deep breath. In for ten seconds, out for eight. Alright. Okay. “Let me get this straight,” he didn’t motion to the three teens- or not teens even if two apparently looked like they were- but it was a close thing. “You-”

Phantom perked up, white hair flickering with what he was pretty sure were stars as they turned away from the window looking out into space. “-are two years old.” The fae-esque being who looked more like a fourteen year old gave a half-distracted nod. Which, for a toddler, they were paying attention pretty well.

“You-” Klarion looked up from where he was fiddling with the cuffs that had been on him, cat sprawled on his shoulder now that it was out of the carrier. “-are six?” Another distracted nod, the apparently-child seemingly enamored with the sounds the cuffs made when they clinked together.

“And you-” He turned towards Marvel, who shrank back before seemingly steeling themself. “-are in fact ten.” The… well they had thought demigod but apparently all three were some sort of realms-being, which had apparently made Constantine pale and start cursing before stomping out of the Watchtower. Another nod and shaky thumbs up.

Alright. Okay. They had in fact let a ten-year old join the league, which wouldn’t have been so bad if they had known. Especially the fact that apparently Marvel was only half-human, which suddenly explained so much about how he didn’t know so many things about a human life. Which-

“You,” he turned towards Phantom again to make sure he was listening before returning his attention to Marvel. “And you have both lived at least a year in the human realm with human companions, but your-” He turned his gaze towards the ravenette in the center. The six year old apparently. “-experience with the human realm is literally just with the Light.”

Yet another distracted nod. Okay. Bruce was tempted to scream in a room for the entire situation that had cropped up from the single action of taking Klarion’s familiar and then the boy himself into custody. Then again, it was honestly a much better thing they had apparently caught this.

“Alright,” he sighed, suddenly feeling incredibly exhausted. “To make sure I have all of this correct-” Because it was already a shitshow and the amount of shouting had absolutely spooked the child. To the point he’d- according to Marvel- made what was apparently some sort of very distressed noise that had made both him and Phantom running. Or rather flying and portaling.

“-in the realms, people there make friends through fighting,” Bruce pauses to make sure he got that part correct. The origin of this entire misunderstanding with the chaos-lord. Lordling?

All three nodded, Klarion losing interest in the cuffs and starting to pet his cat. Familiar. Everyone had referred to it as a familiar and Marvel had appeared utterly horrified that they had taken said familiar away. Somehow he was the one the trio were currently trusting and weren’t doing the same towards any of the other league members.

“And you have been trying to make friends with the Jr team, which they have been taking as an attack due to this miscommunication.” Honestly they should have gotten more information, though he couldn’t exactly blame any of the teens, what with everything they were currently dealing with.

“... is there any sort of guardian or something you might have, that can be contacted? Or anyone that could help prevent a situation like this from happening again?” All three avoided his eyes, suddenly finding things like the table and walls very interesting.

Oh. Hm. This could be a problem.

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #Bruce is so done #Danny: I would have a guardian but the observants locked him up in his clocktower 'cause he used to date the king #Marvel: Does Tawny count?? Like he's a tiger but he also talks and is sapient...#Klarion: Mother Chaos is busy so dropped me off in this world to play #Bruce: Oh no #Bruce already filling out temporary custody papers: Oh No #Bruce: Do any of you know how to do human things #Danny: Oh my human caretakers were mad scientists-#Bruce: OH NO #Marvel: Oh when I'm smaller the street kids help me out #Bruce grabbing a blanket: OH NO #Klarion: I am doing good at being human a completely normal thing to want a good grade in #Bruce already bundling them up: OH NO #They all have familiars lmao #Klarion has Teekl the cat #Danny has Cujo the dog #Billy has Tawny the tiger #JL in the other room having a breakdown or five #Why yes they were fighting a literal child #And yes apparently they did let in another child and literal toddler #Danny: Hold on can I at least get my sister before we go anywhere #Bruce: Hnnnn #His kids are going to laugh at him for bringing home 4 kids

silly comic based on a time i struggled to read live on stream :thumbsup:

context clip compilation below ASDASDFASA

(cw for brief mention of hospitals/strokes)

#in stars and time #isat #isat odile #isat siffrin #isat spoilers #<- not big ones but the convo this stems from occurs on 3rd floor before king act 2 so #cw hospital #cw stroke #<- brief stroke talk in the clip thats why #odile i am so sorry for making u deal with the fact that i cant read #or just input words?? where there arent any??? i dont know why i do that????#these streams have made me realize i sometimes just autofill words when reading SAFADDA #also random side headcanon i was thinking of while drawing this #is odile speaks alot with her hands?#idk why i just think its fun?#and kinda makes sense as someone who has travelled a lot thru different countries?#personal observation but you can convey/tell a lot without knowing a much of a different language via body language #as someone who grew up with family who spoke a different language that i do not speak LMAO #especially hands!! those say a lot!!#reading body langauge/tone helped me a lot when guessing if what was being talked about a good thing or not #tho tone to a lesser extent since uh it can be hard to tell at times i think ASDFDA #so it makes sense to me???#the art of pointing in general location is a universal skill i think?? yea #to a lesser extent i think siffrin might do this? but more subdued/under the cloak so #the cloak ends up getting in the way 90% of the time so no one can actually see that lmao #okay tag talk over #no stream time today because weather boooooo storms

"Frank and Gerard early 2000's stage kisses" this "Frank and Gerard early 2000's stage kisses" that. LISTEN! 2022 Ray and Frank forehead kisses. In conclusion . Frank iero.

#I don't ship any of them btw #Not rlly combative to ppl that do like #I fully think there was some very close very intimate friendships bordering on ? Something more #Going on in the 2000's but that's more a genuine observation of ppl not like “aww kiss now” and anyway. They love they wives #This isn't ship talk hour just btw #I am very very very charmed by middle aged men being able to be sweet and physically affectionate to eachother tho #It is so sweet. So good such a future I aspire to. That actually does mean ... soo much ugh #Mcr #frank iero #ray toro #my chemcial romance #gerard way #the black parade #three cheers for sweet revenge #i brought you my bullets you brought me your love #danger days

Hm. Will Byers may fear a lot of things, but lying isn't one of them.

#will byers #Just a random observation #I've noticed that Will lies quite a few times in the series. Whether it be to himself or others.#Idk why it jumped out at me as Will-specific. It might not be. But...#That one's been a bit of a liar hasn't he?#And there are probably a lot of other moments that are slipping my mind right now #Especially with the themes of lies vs truth in ST #Am I looking too deep into this?#stranger things #stranger things 5 #mike wheeler #st5 #byler #<- target audience
