#INNIT

Here is another portion of that goofy victorian interaction

Can you tell im really enjoying their nose dynamic(💞)

Tbh the Legend of Baskerville theme from this series is a total banger, and considered a love theme (by me). Go listen to it on youtube now!(minute 25:55)

Having a lot of thoughts on the Baskerville episodes from this series being the most mysterious and entertaining (to me), especially as a kid, due to the soundtracks, almost complete absence of Sherlock, sudden change of setting to the countryside, etc., etc.

The last time i rewatched it though, they just appeared to me too long, but its probably because i was busy drawing throughout the sequence. I have to re-check sometime soon.

Innit VS In’t - a PSA

I’ve seen some confusion in Hobie fics around the word “innit” and I think I’ve figured out why: aside from general confusion about the use of the word, I believe some people are occasionally mixing it up with “in’t”.

So let’s dive into it!

Innit - isn’t it

Can be used at the end of a sentence to make it a question or for emphasis.

E.g. “That’s a load of rubbish, innit?” Or “I’m Spider-Man, innit.” (The latter is an example of emphasis. It’s not grammatically correct but using slang isn’t always about being grammatically correct).

“Innit” can also be used in the middle and at the beginning of sentences (in place of “isn’t it”).

E.g. “Innit lovely out here?” Or “You told me that a Vulture variant was loose in Holborn, but innit true you’ve been tellin’ porkies?”

In’t - contraction of “isn’t”

You can use “in’t” in place of “isn’t”.

E.g. “In’t that the guy who was in here earlier?” Or “That’s a metaphor for capitalism, in’t it?” (You could also use “innit” in the second example).

It can be a bit confusing to a non-English ear to distinguish between “innit” and “in’t”, especially when they’re spoken quickly. For example: if you think you’re hearing someone say something like “Innit that right?” (which would be saying “Isn’t it that right?”, then you’re probably actually hearing them say “In’t that right?”

But wait!

Couldn’t you just use “ain’t” instead of “in’t”?

Sure!

“Ain’t” is a very versatile contraction. It can mean: am not, are not, is not, have not, has not, do not, does not and did not.

E.g. “I ain’t a liar!” Or “He ain’t done his homework.” Or “Ain’t that the truth.” Or “It ain’t right.”

Fun facts:

The earliest records of “ain’t” are from the 1700’s but it was popularised by Dickens’ representation of Cockney dialect.

“In’t” originates from Northern England.

So why use “in’t” instead of “ain’t”?

Personal preference, innit?

And there you have it, a dive into the world of “innit”, “in’t” and “ain’t”!

As always, I’m not an expert, I just wanted to share the knowledge that I do have. There may be other ways to use these words, depending on what part of the country you come from, but this should cover the vast majority of them (if not maybe all of them)! Hopefully someone will find this helpful, informative or entertaining at the very least. I know a lot of this seems basic, but there are a lot of non-native English speakers in the fandom so I wanted to cover all my bases.

Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like me to cover and I’ll see what I can do! If you’re using “innit” or “in’t” in your writing but aren’t sure if you’re using it right, I’m happy to look over any sentences you’d like me to!

Happy writing!

First of all, I'd like to note how offensive it is to the rest of us how fast you read. That offhand remark that you read an entire Dostoyevsky novel just to add a single line was remarkably jealousy-inducing. Any thoughts on reading faster, wider, better?

Worth stressing the subtext of the story here - it's not that I read quickly, it's that I chose to read a hefty book, and concentrated what reading time I had to do so.

I wrote the issue, and then decided I should read THE IDIOT before it went to press. Let's say that's 6 weeks, as a guess - it could have been more, depending on deadlines. I added one line at the lettering draft born of the book. I kind of wish I had more to tweak (it was a big novel) but it was all that was needed.

Reading a big novel in 6 weeks isn't that fast. It's hard with a young child, of course, but it was just a question of me deciding it was a priority and spending what time I had on it rather than (say) watching TV or playing a videogame or refreshing blueskies.

That's the core of it, really. If you want to read more, you have to plan for it, and decide that the time is not negotiable. Which is much easier to write than actually do, at some point in any of this you will actually examine what "not negotiable" actually means to you.

(I'm an ADHD-er, and while I have all the procastination issues, I tend to be pretty good with structure. When something becomes a hard rule which I don't even question, I don't break it. In fact, that sometimes becomes a problem. I should stop Duolingo, but I really can't find myself to. You find what works for you.)

In terms of reading faster: I wouldn't recommend trying to read faster than you do. Read too fast and you're not reading. Reading more often is how one reads faster, I think.

This is one I am *very* bad at, but all the above works best when it's not a battle. Nope out of books which aren't working for you. If the hardness is style is one thing - if the hardness is that you simply don't care enough, you're now playing on hard mode. Sometimes I have to do that (normally for research) but it's very hard to do quickly and well.

One which does work for me is: have books on your phone. Ideally essays or short chapters. Read rather than check social media when travelling, if you've got the brain for it.

In terms of reading wider: that's a question of just being actively aware of what you ARE reading. In years when I had more spare time to read outside the research, I've consciously only read books by authors from groups I haven't done as much before, for example.

We report: we are just about to go to bed when a blue flash illuminates our room, and we immediately start counting, slowly. One, two, three... Thunder shakes the floor; the storm is right next door. Through the window, we see a lightning bolt take shape. It stays for a moment.

Zoe Ashildr recruited the Arcadia kiddos, taught them to follow Douxie around every fourth Thursday for three hours, narrating his life for him in the style of the ‘dAy iN tHe LiFe Of A tRuE bReXiT gEeZeR’ video.

He secretly enjoys it but will never tell a soul. Archie seethes.

I just told my coworker "sorry I'm insane" after accidentally infodumping again and she said "don't worry, I'm insane too". but she's crazy in a 'I went through my boyfriend's wallet and stalked his ex wife's company' kind of way and not a 'here is a powerpoint presentation I made about joan of arc just for fun. do you want to see the one I made about merlin?' kind of way

I mean how are lesbians headcanoning canonically male characters as women that much more different than lesbians headcanoning canonically straight women as lesbians . Maybe I'm too genderfuckery pilled for normal fandoms but I feel like there's no difference here
