This man holds my heart just like he holds these ducks
#Halsin#BG3#baldurs gate 3#Look I cannot put into words how much Halsin means to me#I do not have the vocabulary#But he is so gentle#and he is so powerful#like I knew I was done but the MINUTE I heard he loves ducks I was sent into oblivion#my art#I will love this man until the sun dies out

I still can't fathom what in the entire world I could have ever said or done to make that gerrysherry (also known as spot-the-antisemitism) person come after me, and try every possible way of reframing every anti-war feeling I have as somehow, secretly, anti-jewish. Unless they don't actually believe that, but they hope saying it enough will make people believe it?? I don't know them, never did anything to them, and yet this person has reportedly still spent weeks and weeks boosting the same thread over and over, in which they urge people to boycott my book - something I'm depending on to even be able to afford my home in the future - because they apparently insist I have only antisemitic reasons for wanting to support Palestinians. How would that even make sense?! Jewish people aren't doing anything to Palestinians, a government is. They failed to make any dent in my follower count which just keeps jumping up every day, and I'm technically making more income off my art than ever (even if it still only barely covers cost of living), but I can't get over the sheer principle of someone hoping they could spread misinfo like that with the hope of impacting my ability to live. I've never run into anything that personally vicious before, all over sentiments they just up and pretend I have? For what??
#palestine#israel#wait is it literally JUST because I used “zionist” to mean someone pro-war?? They did it first so I tailored my language to theirs#I don't use the word in my regular vocabulary and have barely any posts on my blog that contain it#because I do believe there's people who kind of identify as zionist but are also anti war and support palestinians?#Maybe that's incorrect?#I don't know enough about the term but I'd never knowingly use a pejorative against a whole nationality??????

Pine's Ridiculously Long List of Free Japanese Study Materials
First Month Edition
All my current study materials, because sharing found resources is caring. These are not JLPT-specific and are for pre-beginners to beginners like me. I can't believe I have been studying for a month. Comparison is truly the thief of joy. I am a slow learner, but that's okay. Find a community because it truly does make a difference. Shoutout to Seitokai's Nihongo Discord, and to @tokidokitokyo whose post let me know about it and is just overall a great person too.
Main study material: Marugoto Online A1 Self-Study Kastudoo and Rikai with downloaded PDF and Wordbook (my original post about it)
Supplemental references:
A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar (The only NOT free resource in this list, sorry! The e-book sold on Amazon does not have good reviews as it's a scanned copy of the book, rather than a properly formatted e-book. A free alternative to this is JapBase which also contains Intermediate and Advanced content.)
Marugoto Plus which accompanies the Marugoto courses and includes videos, audio files, etc.
Apps: Anki, Renshuu
Anki decks:
Tatsumoto's Kana (Recognizing and Writing)
Tatsumoto's AnkiDrone Sentence Pack V7
Official KanjiDamage Deck (from the creator of KanjiDamage, crude language warning for both the deck and the site)
Marugoto A1 Rikai Katsudoo 2021
Dictionaries:
Rikaitan browser extension (installed JMDict English V4, JMExtra, 日本語文法辞典(全集), and Kanjium)
Takoboto app (with offline access)
Other resources:
Sukiruma for practice writing sheets
Reader Ttsu for reading Japanese materials on a browser (used in conjunction with Rikaitan, since I couldn't find an e-book reader that I can install a Japanese dictionary in)
Sousakuba for downloadable genkouyoushi without watermarks
Youtube:
Favorites marked with a ⭐��.
Comprehensible Input for what it says on the tin, in bite-size formats
Daily Japanese with Naoko for vlogs with Japanese subtitles
Dogen for the funny videos that you can learn from and/or relate to
Game Gengo because Japanese learning through games, and has JLPT geared content if you're looking for it
Gino Kei who has shorts teaching Japanese in a not so serious way
Hiro - Food in Japan for cooking videos, not in Japanese, but these make me crave for Japanese food anyway so that counts
⭐️ Japan Eat for Japanese food commentary in English and also makes me hungry. So, yeah, not in 日本語 but it's delicious so that also counts
Japanese Koro mostly for kana reading practice which actually helps you get short serotonin boosts for when you do actually get to read the words correctly
Japanese Quest which plays games in Japanese
⭐️ Japarrot! for fun, animated comprehensible input videos
Let's ask Shogo for culture content
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matcha Samurai for delightfully unhinged culture content, debunking Japanese misconceptions one video at a time
Namba Tsuyoshi for no narration Japanese walk with me style vlogs, very chill and relaxing
⭐️ NihongoDekita with Sayaka for fun, short grammar content
ShekMatz Japan has videos/playlists where she teaches Japanese in Tagalog, so if you can't understand Tagalog, you'd better skip it
Sora The Troll because why not
⭐️ Takashii from Japan is honestly one of my favorites, even before I started learning Japanese. His interviews are just really good!
Taro's Sewing because my toxic trait is thinking I can sew the cool things they post. Also comes with short Japanese commentary on screen
Tokyo Lens counts as uh, immersion even if it's not in Japanese, but it's in Japan so that counts? Yeah, let's go with that
もしもしようすけ for Japan vlogs/walk with me with Japanese and English subtitles
Yomii Japan Piano if you like piano and the occasional trolling
Japanese Calligrapher Takumi because my other toxic trait is thinking I can write this beautifully
#i probably should have typed this on my laptop but alas i had to do this on the go because my impulse compels me#uwunav#uwulog#japanese langblr#japanese studyblr#grammar#vocabulary#reading#reference#japanese

One last devastating blow
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#xue yang#A-qing#elle woods#THIS comic idea has been floating in my head for ages#apologies for the tonal whiplash but I had to do it.#I meant it when I said Elle Woods would return. She’s canon to the PD-MDZS universe now.#Xue Yang unfortunately got the wrong message out of Legally Blonde. The Classic Wuxia Theatre story.#I gotta say...A-qing has rocketed up my list of faves. As she deserves.#Everyone say ‘thank you’ to A-Qing for being the best. Rest in Vengence queen.#The greatest crime Xue Yang did was taking our queen of insults tongue away.#The call back to Song Lan not having the vocabulary to hurl harsh words at XY vs A-Qing dishing it out freestyle!!! SO GOOD#and so wwx’s empathy ends.#Yi-city was such a tragedy....Time to see what the crew does with all this information.

okay sometimes i see people talking about alastor's vocabulary as if he's remarkably verbose or witty compared to the other characters but i have to confess. i really didn't register it as unusual because that is also just how i talk on a regular basis
#just saw someone on twitter say that the words 'ornery' and 'wretched' were flowery language#like..... What.#what do you mean you have to google the things he says HE'S NOT SPEAKING ARCHAIC ENGLISH#but i understand that i am not normal in this regard‚ i unironically carried around a specialty thesaurus in elementary school#specifically to curate a more sophisticated vocabulary#so maybe this is just a me thing#hazbin hotel#alastor

I don’t think ppl give enough credit to rui for his dedication to fucking with people (outside of tsukasa of course) like. Knowing & acknowledging that nene wants nothing to do with him and Tsukasa on her first day of second year and deliberately following tsukasa to loudly ask if she’s getting along with people (just to be a jackass)? Implying his gift to akito will explode even though it won’t bc he wants to bug akito? Like I think rui at his core is full of love and a desire to make ppl smile but I also think he’s 200% committed to the bit first and foremost. If something will be funny he’s going to do it regardless of the consequences. Guy filled with zero social anxiety & a never ending desire to embarrass his friends.
#‘he’s insecure’ is very fanon. like I think he has hang ups over that obviously as one does when one is excluded from their peers for being#odd. but he’s never had that issue w the general public. w friends? a little. but he’s kinda moved past that#gestures towards the Halloween wxs story and (heavy sigh) rmd.#project sekai#in general I will die on the hill of rui and Tsukasa having so much more self assurance and confidence than ppl give them credit for#if u want a fail girl nene is right there. open ur eyes.#consequences of ppl only viewing him thru a shipping lense…#*nene* is socially anxious#rui canonically trespassed on ppls property to put on solo shows for several years.#i could go on a rant abt tsukasa & the portrayal of him w social anxiety despite the ample evidence against it but I don’t feel like doing#it in the tags bc it is entirely unrelated. rui and Tsukasa (handshake emoji) horrifically misrepresented by fanon.#2 end on a more positive note: everyone think abt the comic where rui is perfectly capable of understanding emu#and he has the ‘all perfect’ text after comprehending her fascinating vocabulary. beautiful. perfect wxs relationship moment.#read curtain call again. & the other rui focuses. main story in general. etc.

I'm so in love with my friends. Every little mannerism or personality trait. I don't know how every one of them isn't being bombarded with love confessions when they're all so perfect and beautiful and funny and kind and
#for the record NO i do not have a crush on any of them i dont want to be in a relationship with them#my love for them all surpasses human vocabulary and remains completely platonic#THIS is the aromantic experience#platonic love#aromantic#aroace#qpr#queer platonic relationship#friendship#summer saying stuff

Headcanon for how Rosie knows Alastor's Ace when he himself doesn't (outside of her having an excellent gaydar):
She was there for him after Vox's confession and their fallout happened. Like how Charlie talked to Rosie about her relationship problems, Alastor basically did the same thing, just more ranty and angry about it. Like why are romantic/sexual relationships prioritized over friendships? Why do people make such a huge deal over those two things? It just doesn't make sense to him. And Vox is an idiot for throwing away their amazing friendship over this. Maybe he was even kinda vulnerable and asking/bringing up things aces and aros growing up and discovering their identity wonder and worry about.
I just feel like onesided radiostatic fans already focus so much on Vox's side of the fallout and not enough on Alastor's but I also feel like Rosie being there for Alastor, even if it's him just ranting/complaining and not angsty, isn't brought up enough. Like you can't tell me he wouldn't talk/rant to his bestie about the whole situation with Vox when it all went down
#radiostatic#staticlovetune#Like this convo they have after his and Vox's fallout would basically be him coming out even if he doesn't have the vocabulary for it#I just want more of their friendship and I love them being there for eachother and having these genuine friendship moments#and nothing to do with like their overlord/scheming stuff#aromantic#asexual#asexuality#aromanticism#aroace#aro#ace#hazbin hotel#should I still tag as spoilers?#my gifs

Is the English teacher good? I believe in bja supremacy but the trailer made it look like very standard sitcom humor
it's honestly pretty solid! i would say it's more toned down than caleb gallo and they're doing something a bit closer to sitcom-brand pseudorealism but a lot of the signature stuff (odd/unnatural-sounding dialogue, the camera work during conversations, the visual gags, the casual absurdism, etc) is still there. i do think that it's not hitting the sort of pat heartwarming triumph beats that i would expect from a standard sitcom with the same premise, and there's a lot of interest in exploring sort of casual self-absorption which has always been an interesting aspect of the characters bja writes/plays. i think it's worth trying out an ep or two and they are only 20 minutes! and his take on what's funny about being gay in sort of a modern american context has always been a lot more interesting and resonant to me than 99% of other "gay comedy" writing
#i have actually a lot of thoughts about the development of a sort of mainstream gay sitcom vocabulary#i do think that english teacher is subject to some of those same pressures due to just the nature of being a prime time network sitcom#but i think it does a decent job of walking that line between having a distinct creative identity and being marketable enough to succeed#it did feel recognizably like it's written for the same sort of audience as caleb gallo#it just also has some slightly easier access points for people who might need to be eased in to his style#anonymous#ask and receive

I want to to do a character study on Mabel Pines soooooooo bad you don’t even know like I almost hate her in the series because she’s selfish and impulsive and thinks everything is about her when there are clearly bigger forces at play that don’t really care about her
But at the same time I love her BECAUSE she’s selfish and impulsive and I see some of myself in her at times. The hiding in her sweater, the hatred of change, she has such big fears that a 12 year old wouldn’t know how to handle on her own so she does bad things to instead avoid them thinking it’s for a good cause. If she’s not afraid, why would anyone else be?
That’s why dipper snaps her out of it. Because he’s scared. And she can see it. I would despise her if there was no reasoning for her actions, but everything she does completely makes sense and I hate when she’s described as being “the dumb twin”, “doesn’t know any better” and “just a kid” because 12 isn’t a kid anymore. Every time I see people treating her like an elementary schooler and it hurts because Alex Hirsh did a really good job of making sure she acted like an actual middle schooler during the show and people keep acting like she’s 8.
I always see people telling off people who hate her by using “she’s 12 and doesn’t know better!” And I hate it because it’s just not true. When I was 12 I brought scissors to school and cut myself in the school bathroom. 12 is old enough to know things. 12 is old enough to hurt and have empathy. 12 is old enough to despise and hate and love. Mabel is a middle schooler, not a 2nd grader.
She knows better. She’s just scared. And I don’t see enough of that. If you discount the things she does as childish acts that she couldn’t control you lose a beautiful look into the depths of her character. The depths of her character that house a sad and scared little girl that just wants to stay in the place that makes her happier than any place on earth. The place that accepts her. The place that understands her. The depth of her character that’s so scared to lose that acceptance and happiness that she’ll force everything to stay the same, even if it means hurting people. Mabel is a kid, but she understands what’s at stake. Shes just scared of letting that happiness that she felt for the summer leave.
#tw sh ideation#tw sh related#tw sh implied#gravity falls mabel#mabel pines#gravity falls#gravity falls spoilers#i love mabel#character study#middle schoolers aren’t stupid y’all#they’re just not as good at telling you stuff then adults are#a 12 year old can easily have the same vocabulary as a 20 year old#they can have the same emotions and thoughts#it’s just that one of them is forced to go to school#also I’m fine now by the way#with the sh#I don’t do that anymore I have a therapist#I’m all good

yeah, they don't have to get married. but excuse me if I think a gay couple getting married has a lot more value and meaning than a straight cis couple getting married. it is an act of pride and resistance, that was bravely fought for. correct me if I'm wrong but when dan came out to his family a relative told him that it was fine but it was a shame that he couldn't get married. what a huge fuck you it is to anyone that says that to a gay man to see them go there and GET FUCKING MARRIED!
#phan#I'm doing my best with the english vocabulary I have#sorry if my choice of words are not the best#the essence is there though#dnp#wedding hill
