5, 11, 16, 26 for the weird asks !
Thanks for asking! ♡
5. favorite form of potato?
... surprisingly difficult one?? Ok, ok, I will make an unclassed Top 3 because I can't choose: pommes dauphines, patates sautées, and gratin dauphinois.
11. anything from your childhood you’ve held on to?
Hm. I kept a lot of things from my childhood actually, objects wise, so I guess I'll go with smtg immaterial: my parents each had a nursery rhyme they sung to us when we were tiny, and when I am very very down and have trouble sleeping, I will hums them to help me relax.
16. thoughts on mint chocolate chip?
Absolutely adore it, a classic go-to for me, only ate this flavor for a while when I was 20-ish. Mint chocolate is a beloved flavor combo in my house.
26. how’s your spice tolerance?
Ridiculously low, though I am better than I was. I love spices and cook with them a lot actually, but I can't deal with hot stuffs like pimentos - only exception being dijon mustard (directly on bread yum yum).
#those really are fun#my mum had a different song for each of us#I had a personalized alphabet#and I have never heard a prettier version of Donna donna than the one she used to sing to my brother#(my mom isn't a good singer but it doesn't matter)#(still the best)#my dad only knew one#but man Dodo minette à la violette was a HIT at home lol#the ragondin answers

wait do you think lindy will know to pee without dr pee to remind her, or do you think she'll die from a UTI or something
#doctor who#doctor who spoilers#there is a lot to unpack about this episode but I am just obsessed with the character of dr pee#was he an AI or a real person? if he was real then pee is before pepper in the alphabet. they fucking Got Him#also I checked imdb to see if I knew any of the characters from anything and dr pee had higher billing than lindy or ricky#bc he is the main character TO ME

my meet cutes with every boy ive liked since i was 15 were all so good its not fair i hope i find a relationship with a nice story & it doesnt just end up being from tinder lol
#like if i meet the love of my life on tinder i will not complain. i wld just like a better story than that </3#my ex boyfriend was the first person my age i met after moving to england the day before when i was 11 years old. we sat together in all ou#classes in early secondary school bc our names were alphabetically after each other. and he was the only kid who wld keep talking to me and#not treat me like an invisible alien even though i was a selective mute and never responded to him. then i fell in love w him when we were#15 on the school trip to paris bc we sat together on the coach and it was the first time we had a proper conversation despite knowing each#other for years at that point#but i dont get to tell anyone that story bc he dumped meeeeee -_-

Thought of the evening: how does the nuances of the agent [surname] system work?
Because it seems like most agents just use their surname(Oleander, Nein, Vodello, Mentallis, Forsythe, etc.), but some agents have numbers(33)?
But also, what if your surname changes? Hollis has a line about a husband, so does that complicate the naming system? In her memory vaults she was going by Forsythe since her intern days, so either she was married back then or it’s possibly her maiden name. Do all agents go by their maiden names? If Milla and Sasha got married and changed their surname, they’d have the keep the old names right? You can’t have two “Agent Neins” or “Agent Vodellos” that would cause too much confusion.
But what about sibling agents? Norma and Lizzie are sisters, and are both in the intern program. Are the Psychonauts going to have two Agent Navidads? Or if Frazie joins to be an agent, would the chaos of having two “Agent Aquatos” cause problems? Maybe in the case of siblings they’d go by their middle names? So Agent [Middle Name].
And what about the numbered agents? Did the Psychonauts start at one and have since climbed to thirty-three? Why do some agents get to have their surname attached and not others? My personal headcanon for the numbered agents I thought of while planning a fic is that numbered agents are actually agents recruited who are part of a witness protection program, and thus it’s to hide/contend with changing identities. But there’s no in-game explanation as far as I’m aware.
Also not really apart of the Agent thought, but there’s the tiny paradox of Sasha and Milla being “international secret agents” who work for an espionage agency, but also being celebrities in universe and are getting their names and faces printed on magazines. Does the world assume that the names “Sasha Nein” and “Milla Vodello” are false identities? Honestly the idea that True Psychic Tales and all the terrorists they fight believe that these are fake names/stage names when in reality they’re just their real names is a little amusing. That they just believe that they wouldn’t be open enough to use their real names, but its like reverse psychology. Or the idea that they’re able to sneak in places and not immediately get caught is because their enemies are like “no, that can’t be Agents Nein and Vodello, that would be too obvious.”
#psychonauts#psychonauts 2#btw if they did get married I personally believe they’d get their surnames hyphenated#so “Vodello-Nein” because “Nein-Vodello” sounds weird and awkward in comparison to me. Rolls off the tongue better#also their kid would hate them every time they have to stand in an alphabetical line because they could’ve been in the middle with “N”#but nooo their mom’s name HAD to go first#but I do legitimately wonder how Lizzie’s and Norma’s graduation worked#and why agent 33 exists as 33#also do you think there’s an “agent nine” that always gets confused with Sasha when getting called in?

#tolkien#a tolkien tag#my polls#headcanon survey#personally my current theory is it was developed in Tirion during the First Age#possibly accompanied by a new alphabet#before that things were too slow-paced#and Middle-earth lacked resources#present day it's common throughout Eldamar#especially with Noldor but others too#lindon and eregion had presses#Imladris probably has a small press#silvans and some Sindar aren't big fans#they don't write a lot anyway#guessing the dwarves developed it independently but don't use it much#Númenor I think had at least presses with engraving and maybe movable type#but Men aren't using it by the late Third Age#fell out of use between various wars and disasters and demographic collapses#possibly in the shire? they do have a lot of books!#Sauron stamped it out where possible#unsolicited fandom opinions#reckless application of spackle

My theatre teacher lost a bet to me and my two friends today and she owes us slurpees now.
#the bet was how long we thought it would take our improv teacher to start class and stop chatting#and being distracted#I won btw but my friends are free loaders on my success#I am well versed in the art of distraction#anyways I reorganized the alphabet in two ways#debated the flavors of m&ms#got my teacher to talk about college#had everyone smell white bord markers after making people search for them so I could write my alphabet#I’ve learned that if I talk long enough I can make anything happen#btw this was thirty minutes of distraction while one person tried to get people back on track

Is the zh in zhe pronounced like the Russian ж, or is just like a z and the h means nothing?
For Storm's pronouns? I'm not very familiar with Russian at all, but after looking up some pronunciations I think ж is pretty similar to what I'm going for, yeah
#I haven't had much of a chance to use the zhe/hir pronouns out loud yet so I'm still pretty flexible about the specifics#although I will say that in my (American southern) accent 'hir' and 'her' are. near indistinguishable.#'hir' gets a slightly higher pitch but that's about it#'zhe' is... hard to describe with my limited vocabulary for actual phonetics?#but like. the zh is somewhere between “sh” and “juh”. then tack an e on the end so... “shje” ??#god I just need to learn the international phonetic alphabet already. it would make this a lot easier#I guess a lot of this could have actually gone in the body of the post instead of tags but here we are#anyway! thanks for asking#the snowjag speaks#the snowjag answers#...one of these days I'll update my personal tags

did I ever post my h/cs on language in Ishgard or
#this is for ME personally#ahem. uh tl;dr Eorzean is a prestige language for nobility#lowborn Ishgardians (like Hilda) probably don’t speak it well#if at all#bc y’know. isolationist city state that pointedly did *not* consider itself the same as the rest of Eorzea#Rouvastre *knew* Eorzean academically but never actually had to use it seriously before the great enfuckening#I’m also debating if Ishgard has a whole different alphabet bc that’s fun.#for everyone new here I pointedly ignore the google translate Echo thing for drama#ishgardposting#saint.txt

When I think about my 1st and 2nd grade self and the problems I had at school I really feel like I should try to get a adhd diagnosis
#i learned how to read in pre school#and reading/interpretation has always been what i'm especially good at#so i was really bored and being a problem child the whole time#like there is this one specific day that i discovered how to make a catapult with my desk and a ruler and sent my eraser flying to the back#of the class and i was a problem kid already but god I never saw my teacher so angry lmao#and i remember that before I did that i was so fucking bored i might as well die kinda bored#and THAT was the solution my 7 year old brain had to that problem#and there are other things like i just hated copying the alphabet everyday i already knew how to read i felt that was useless#and now that I know the concept of understimulation I know that explains my behavior back then a lot#because before fractions everything was so easy to understand that it bored the hell out me and I couldn't care less#text#personal

Month 7, day 20, happy moon landing day!
In other news, I added a sprinkling of new characters today! A, O, S, k, p, and : 😊
Tomorrow I plan to translate the Strength, Justice, and familiar monuments to get a bit more of my capital letter roster fleshed out (mostly from the familiar monuments; you'll see what I mean when I post the translations ;3 ). The lowercases are probably going to be hard to come by on these plinths, unfortunately, so I'll have to free-hand them with reference to the books and Cuff scans.
#the great artscapade of 2023#athian font project#forspoken#forspoken font#athia#athian#athian alphabet#athian font#athian script#I don't MIND free-handing but the devs clearly have a font they've already created and I *wish* I had access to it#literally the only reason I'm doing this is because I want my own personal Athian font to use XD#I am 100000000% putting all of my Forspoken fics into this font the moment it's done and I have it downloaded#........as soon as I figure out how to turn this into a usable font without paying out the nose for it >.>#yeah I am using a template from a place called yourfonts but idk how much they charge or if they're a reputable service#I got the template off of google images XD#I'll look into good reputable free services later#gonna finish making the characters first

oh how i hate the american origins of modern computers and modern coding and modern internet. i should be able to use my name in my own alphabet as a username on a website if i so wish, and it's fucked that we havent progressed beyond the english 26 letters in that regard. why does only english get to be "alphanumeric" and not a single other alphabet
#ling#thought prompted by someone on our little server with a japanese display name#convenience? yes its convenient NOW. if the outset had been different we would have a different convenient status quo#i dont care if a japanese or ukrainian username would be too hard to parse - everyone using the internet had to learn english for it#like. im so fucking mad about the definition of 'alphanumeric' in code STILL being 'ANGLOalphanumeric'. fuck.#something americans / english speakers (/ many latin alphabet enjoyers) dont have to think about: they can type their name directly always#(thoughts and prayers to diacritics and non-english characters of course 🙃 better hope your alphabet is close to English)#and this privilege is hardcoded into the foundation of every single piece of software out there so its never going to change#too many potential bugs from a blanket fix like 'treat all these unicode codepoints as alphanum' so under the hood the distinction will sta#anglocentrism at its best & most pervasive the world revolves around the english alphabet specifically. this is my hill and im dying on it#personal

Are there any good makeup advice places where someone who actually knows about this stuff will show you what colors and textures and finishes are going to suit you without just trying to push you into buying a load of stuff you don't need? I'm lost and I don't know anyone to help me. Most of the guides I see are for people who are a lot younger, people who are happy to spend a lot of money on products, and people who have a lot less...problems to fix. I wear makeup about 1-2 times a year tops so while I'm not against splashing out, I'm not buying 50 million things because they're gonna get used once and dry up.
#personal#makeup#so tired of having to figure everything out on my own and teach myself things#I know I'm being whiny but#at work it's a constant stream of 'am I really having to just figure this out and make decisions on my own without guidance?'#'yeah I guess I am'#since I was little I had to teach myself how to swim#the sign language alphabet so I could understand my friends using it#how to use a tampon#most of the sewing I know#almost all my computing knowledge is self-taught#I'm a whiny little tearful PMS baby today but I want a mom#I want someone who can show me what to do instead of just muddling through all the time#I want someone to go shopping with me and be honest but helpful
