General Post; Lost in Translation: Embracing the Comedy of Learning Portuguese

Years ago, I shared with my dad my eagerness to learn Portuguese, and during our trip to Lisbon, he gifted me a book. It’s a bit bittersweet that I can’t update him on finally cracking open that book after it spent far too long gathering dust. But let’s not make this a sad post, because I know my dad would beam with pride knowing I’ve embarked on this language-learning journey. I’ve decided to…

Alfred: Gentlemen, may I ask, what do we do when we find ourselves under intense stress?

Bruce: We break our body with extreme training and physical exertion.

Dick: We remind ourselves of all the times we have failed and messed up in the past so that we go from stressed to heaps of misery and self blame.

Tim: We overwork ourselves by tracking serial killers, analyzing MOs and connecting them to cold cases.

Jason: We shoot, slaughter,or beat criminals to death depending on said level of stress.

Damian: We perfect execution methods by murdering enemies. And then we pet our cat.

Alfred: NO!

honestly i am not liking the trend of using “fagdyke boygirl genderfreak” as almost derogatory descriptive terms for a queer person you think is annoying. like has everyone just forgotten that bigender people who actually identify with those terms exist, or are you just trying to think of the labels that you think signify edginess and queerphobia against others in the community? idk something about it doesn’t seem quite right

Ye olden French

It was at that moment that Frederic started to question the age and sanity of Lilia

Used a french medieval literature text from 1530~ (Pantagruel ) as a quotation for Lilia and I believe the exact sentence is about a character complaining to Death about the passing of his wife after she gave birth to their son. I just took something randomly in the text that didn’t sound too weird either because that book is rather stange…

Alright little bonus here because medieval Lilia popped up in my mind

Funny how your respect for someone can just sorta wither and die in moments. "The dinosaurs died in the great flood!" Okay bud, I think I'm done talking to you now.

what really gets me about soul and maka's relationship is in the little things

it's made extremely clear very early on that soul is always ready to die for maka and he puts her life above his own, shielding her body with his whenever she's in danger without second thought, but it's the tiny mundane things that really make their bond so precious to me. when they're in italy and soul says they should go to an all-you-can-eat-buffet together when he can just go by himself; when maka cooks for him and literally brings breakfast to his bed; when soul tells maka to wait for him after they finished a mission to "bring the bike around" so she doesn't have to walk the extra distance

for soul and maka, acts of service are their signs of affection. no extra words necessary, just the knowledge that the other person is there is enough, because there's never a shadow of doubt that things would ever be any other way.
