It feels extremely silly that only today did I realize that pantry and panadería are slightly similar-sounding for a reason >_>
(The English word pantry is one of the many, many common modern English words derived from Anglo-French: in this case, panetrie, from Old French paneterie, "bread room" ... Spanish panadería also has a complex etymology, but all are related to Latin panis, "bread.")
#anghraine babbles#deep blogging#linguistic stuff#saw a post that was very aggressively going on about how english is GERMANIC (true) and has germanic words in it too!!! (duh)#and the whole discussion ended up arguing that the existence of common germanic words means the many common latinate ones don't count#as 'true english' or whatever and also all languages have borrowings on the level of french-derived vocab in english (not true!)#and it's only lexical and the english grammar is still fundamentally what it was (not true at all actually though not mainly bc of french)#like. sorry that the existence of 'cat' in english implies to you that 'animal' is not a real english word!#don't know why the entirely true statement that 'english is fundamentally germanic' always seems to devolve into nativist bullshit#but damn does it ever.#people are fixated on the vastly oversimplified 'french derived = elitist prestige register from foreigners; germanic = common real speech'#in reality normal everyday english chatter constantly and necessarily includes plenty of french-derived words (often unrecognized)#like pantry! the longer any english document or speech goes without any french- or latin-based words#the more ridiculously and artificially childish it sounds#esp given that some /ultimately/ germanic words in english came into it not from old english but via medieval or anglo-french#often taken from old norse. so 'germanic' real talk from real folk vs dastardly french corruption can be even more complicated#than the obvious xenophobic nonsense motivating the whole anglish thing#even my guy (and known old english lover & french hater) jrr tolkien could only /minimize/ the french-based vocab in lotr#if he'd gotten rid of it altogether he'd sound like he was writing for four-year-olds#english#anglish hate blog#okay for the tags:#anghraine rants

#the first half of kotw is so fucking good for her#you get her being an asshole about work failing to get the boy she went after wishing she could play horses with china#the whole 'well you shouldve worn a coat' thing in the alps the 'come back i just want to hit you' bit in the other dimension#getting sick when skulduggery without hesitation saying he'd give up the rest of his life to take care of her#'this is not an invisible railroad i can see it right there' 'well the train is invisible' 'that's not what you promised me'#need to start eating the book i think#only way ill be satisfied#says kenna#skulduggery pleasant#valkyrie cain#i had to go through my tag for her on here to flesh this out... starting to struggle finding posts on insta for her#it's easier for china bc at her core china is a very normal relatable person#book loving lonely homebody horse girl in unrequited love with complicated relationships with religion and parenthood#while so much of the story asks 'who is valkyrie outside of skulduggery'#she's got minimal if any hobbies her status as the final girl means she ends up with almost no relationships#she's unpleasant to be around but not in the quirky needy way instagram meme people say they are#like do NOT get me wrong she's one of the most complex fascinating characters in the world to me and her personality is very well developed#but not in a 'haha relatable this is who youre being mean to--' kinda way. do you understand me#people don't very often make funny posts about how theyve been groomed

I have yeeted the teets! Day one post-op has been a bit rough (fuck the drains 💀), but honestly not the worst. I was more dead yesterday after the surgery, and my partner says they've seen me looking worse just on bad days with my chronic illness lol.
Also, gotta say, that post about having a Winnie-the-Pooh bod post-top surgery is so right. None chest with left tummy
#otter said a thing#personal#top surgery#I'm also just marveling at the wonders of modern medicine#i can elect to have a surgery and it's just. fine#like there's still plenty of time for infection or other complications to show up#but if they do they'll be dealt with and it'll still be fine#that's crazy#anyway even though all things told I'm doing pretty well#i still can't wait to be out of the immediate recovery stage#at least until the drains come out#the fluid draining has been pretty minimal so maybe I'll get lucky and they'll be able to come out early 🤞

– I'M INTERESTED! WHAT NOW?
please dm me on tumblr and tell me what kind of commission you're interested in (sketch / lines / colors + head / bust / half body) and for which oc, preferably already with a link to some visual refs so i can take a look :]

the finished piece can in some cases already be done in a day but may take up to a full month depending on how busy i am and if my brain allows me to work, i have executive dysfunction and am in the middle of my graduation project so please be patient with me

not a hiruzen defender in that i think he's a nice old grandpa whose only flaw was being a little too loving towards his old friends and students (if anything i think overall attitudes towards him dont give him ENOUGH culpability in most of the atrocities committed during his time in the hat) but i WILL die on the hill that he's fictional so who caressssss he and danzo are my TERRIBLE OLD MEN BLORBOS and i just think. that they're neat.
#“he killed people” AND/?? he was just being silly. and indoctrinated in the same system that everyone else was .#like I Am Just Saying. you cant really meaningfully pull the “he uses child soldiers!” card on the guy who was also a child soldier#YES he is a terrible evil man NO he is not special. or unique in his crimes.#and portraying him as so only serves to minimize other peoples complicity in the horrifying things that konoha does.#ITS NARUTO BITCH!!!! PICK YOUR FAVORITE WAR CRIMINAL AND START PUTTING THEM THROUGH A MEAT GRINDER!#WE DONT GOT TIME FOR MORALITY DISCOURSE!!!#well ok sorry credit to team 7 for trying very hard to change things and then failing in the end </3#an argument could be made. that the intent did not change the result.#but im feeling lenient tonight so lets just appreciate the effort for what it was

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 3: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression
(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)
The winning option of yesterday's poll was that the adventurer should throw a coin into the mysterious well ….
"After nearly ten minutes rummaging through the disorganization at the bottom of his backpack, he finally approaches the well once again, meager coin pouch in hand. He meticulously balances a little golden coin on the tip of his thumb, positioning it just so for an elegant coin flip… With a flick of his hand, the coin wobbles off, anticlimactically dropping into the darkness.. He pouts, leaning in to listen for a plonk as the coin hits the water but… nothing…. silence.. A few minutes pass and he shrugs, moving to pick up his bag and just continue his journey elsewhere, when suddenly a faint noise echoes from the well.. an almost cartoonish plopping sound, like wet feet slapping against stone..? The pitter patter grows closer and closer…then stops abruptly. The adventurer cautiously slinks over to the well, only to find.. a creature of some sort, clinging to the walls, staring up at him blankly. - What should he do next?"
#paventure posting#polls#choose your own adventure#(I saw a few people tag these as that and I guess it makes sense. hmm)#DAY 3!!! vote to choose this little man's fate#Sad that people did not want to go into the well.. :( Maybe we can still go in depending on how things go with#The Creachure. I mean I know I could just make whatever happen anyway since I'm the one doing it but. It has to feel natural lol#it would be obviously just me doing what I want if I was like 'oh uh we went to throw the coin in the well but he tripped and#fell and then somehow didnt die and whoops he's in the well anyway!!'' lol#I care more about things being realistic and natural than following whatever ideas seem interesting. If it was voted for him to explode#into a million pieces sadly I would simply have to explode him. audience says#let me know if the formatting of this is weird?? also? I wasn't sure where to put the slightly longer bit of text#so I kept it under a reas more just to the post looks neater. I thought it'd seem weird with a bunch of text blocks sandwiching the poll#and too much going on. But I also feel like it's organizationally weird if all the details are at the end? eh..#bt then at least it's optional. not everyone will want to read more. And it's not like.. amazing text lol#I'm slapping them out off of the top of my head with minimal editing because I have to get it done and I know if I make it too complicated#or become concerned with like things being Perfectly Revised then I will absolutely not be able to do it once a day#Same with the obvious sketchy ms paint art lol. But so like. I dont feel as bad about kind of having the text be options#*optional since it's not like 'omg this is so good u have to read this' it's like.. eh.. passable amount of detail ghbj#ANYWAY. and 'paventure' (poll + adventure) is just temporary so I have a way to tag this on the blog/keep up with the posts#in a organized way. I think 'padventure' is more obvious but that's already the name of other things and I didnt want the tags to be#confusing or like.. post in some random tag that people already use for something else#but the only thing I found when googling 'paventure' is like. .some venture capital business from PA. and who cares about that lol#explanation probably not needed but I think it sounds a bit silly so I'm justifying myself to myself lol#ANYWAY. lov his silly hat. I want to draw him more. I want to name him. I COULD DO A POLL TO CHOOSE A NAME#but that wouldn't fit in with any of the days lol. maybe if I make it a week actually doing it or something at the end of the week#I could do a bonus poll or something. ??? idk.. ANYWAY.. new day!

does anyone else have a weird fashion mismatch between what they think they like and what they actually like wearing?? half my style icons wear, like, waistcoats and wool trousers, but i'm usually at my most comfortable dressed like a bug type pokemon trainer. or a camp counselor.
#personal#it's weird and complicated and i frequently feel bad because i don't like how im dressed#like not because im Trying to wear stuff even though it feels wrong. more like i can't figure out what would feel right#kind of in a dysphoria way but idk if it's truly dysphoria#i think i still have Some Gender Weirdness going on thats a little more complicated than being a truly binary trans dude but like#it's hard to separate that out from internalized bullshit about gender roles#some of this also might be because of complications finding clothes that fit right + sensory issues + practicality issues#+ trying to minimize dysphoria about specific parts of my body#worst fashion advice ever is Just Be Yourself. who is myself??#don't really know but this ain't it

one of the things i find most compelling about jason and cass as a concept is. like. you cannot convince me they wouldn't both *like* each other, as people. in any non-capes au i absolutely think they would and should be friends, or at least have the potential to *become* friends.
but they have irreconcilable moral differences, and even in story concepts where jason stops playing Pinocchio and decides to be a real boy again and as such starts trying to actually act in line with his morals--they are fundamentally never going to agree. to jason there is a line people cross and stop being people. that is absolutely anathema to everything cass has ever believed in, or will ever believe in.
and there's a lot of untapped potential for tragedy there because of that. jason looking at the shit hes done he never expected to have to *live with*, and realizing he's not dying again anytime soon. and i always say this but *my* preference is to take him from that to an antihero direction-- but i see a lot of potential in him at that point, lost and alone and so desperately lonely, committing *fully* to the villain schtick, or at least as much as jason ever really commits to any schtick.
but i also actually think theres even more potential where theyre both fully committed to their beliefs and they have that fundamental disagreement. they both want to do good. they will never agree on what that means. you know?
#i can persoanlly also absolutely be sold on the idea that like#cass has a personal grudge or dislike for/against jason#that doesn't strictly align with her morals of like everyone can change etc#bc a good cass writer can be like 'she sees herself in jason specifically and she's angry and upset by the way he chose to go+#in the opposite direction from his experiences than she did'#but most writers writing cass and jay with the idea that they have beef#are writing with their jason hateboner instead of their brains LMAO#fundamentally for Cass you need to remember how deeply she cares#the only person shes... ever really believed was irredeemable#was herself#and even THAT is complicated and im trying to minimize my tag essaying here

Justice oriented Dakota bot in the "I believe heros will serve it" in a "everyone deserves Justice if a good reason, even villians who been wronged by society" (but he still wants to stay a hero to deliver Justice)
i honestly think that's the general Dakota outlook........ earlier on he was definetly more "heros good, villains bad" but he's defiently got a strong "everyone deserves good and should do good and be just"
#au shennanigans#neither belltech nor kota concern themselves much with morals#damascus thinks that everyone should try to be good and that even judgement should be just but. shit happens. means justify the end as long#as you minimize harm yknow#and space. he's complicated shrugs#guy who has a complex relationship with morality

I will probably cave and watch the fall of the house of usher anyways but let it be stated for the record that I do not and never will like flanegans work
#its the themelessness for me....#if you pay attention to how he writes/frames you can tell that beneath the veneer of a Family Redeems and Love Conquers theme#there actually isnt any salient consistency with the Why#at my most generous hes going for a 'your loved ones are complicated individuals capable of hurt but you should still love and forgive them'#but he never crafts an argument as to why that should happen besides the Bad Things Happening that comprise the plot of a horror production#and im not saying that you shouldnt forgive people but just that an artistic production that centers it thematically#ahould be able to make that argument on its own two legs#also he writes all women as smarmy#and makes them suffer the greatest narrative consequences despite often having minimal roles in the cycles of violence the plot centers#but he makes absolutely no cogent point that transforms it into a commentary on misogyny instead of another iteration of it#and the way he paces dialogue and sets characters on these patronizing monologues just artistically is weak imo#but will i watch the new one? probably 😔

Started on a new anti-migraine drug today (ajovy). Also have had terrible sleep - Especially today, but, like, all year. Also, y'know the migraines.
So not 100% sure if certain things are side-effects of the ajovy or just y'know, my body being upset with many things going on in its life - But more to the point: Should I be concerned with anything that I'm seeing/experiencing?.
Trying to google side-effects is sure a fucking trip, though.
Official company line on their site seems to be "Some swelling/irritation near injection site" is likely the only side-effect confirmed to definitely be from this medicine. Anything else? Well, that must be someone else's problem.
Various reddit posts of peoples' experiences with the medication - Mostly neutral-to-mildly positive. A lot of not-outright-negativity, but disappointment or frustration about the tradeoffs vs benefits. But the side-effects definitely vary wildly in type and intensity. The ones I'm curious about are topics of discussion that have come up with some degree of frequency.
Various interaction/drug rundown sites have much more comprehensive lists, but also include a warning that the ones I'm looking into may be serious/concerning and I should consult my doctor about them right away. Which, like, doesn't seem to be the tone regarding them anywhere else. So, more confusion as-to who's out of step here.
Meanwhile, the pamphlet that came in its box actually does have a more comprehensive list of possible side-effects. Doesn't list severity other than obvious "If experiencing anaphylaxis..." or other obvious emergencies/serious stuff, then go to ER/phone doctor immediately. Everything else listed is just sort of "This could happen" without any level of how concerned you should be.
The ones I've noticed are heartburn (Unusual for me without certain types and timings of trigger-foods, but not impossible to be something else going on that's unrelated to this). And notable joint-stiffness (hands and feet, especially on the same side as my injection), with a touch of joint pain. Both of those are in the "might happen in ~1% of patients" group. Which, hey, alright. That's fine. They're known to have a connection, echoing what the reddit posts were saying. From the tone in the pamphlet and on reddit, I probably don't need to be concerned unless they worsen or persist for a very long time.
Uncommon doesn't necessarily mean alarming, though I am curious as to if there's any correlation in the group of people that experience them. Any factor that might predict it, or explain why they're causing this reaction, y'know?
Okay. Good. No need to panic. Probably should sleep though. Less than 4 hours in the last 48 can't be good for me.
#rambling#migraine treatment#why is finding straightforward information on treatments and side-effects so tricky?#I guess this type of medication is relatively new as far as medicine classes go#but like they had to have been researching it for years by now#I wonder if the lack of clarity in official materials about side-effects reported as somewhat more common can be chalked up to trials#and how they - By design - Try to minimize complicating factors#so if patients are selected#rather than just blind trials#they probably don't have a ton of co-morbid conditions going on that could complicate trials#and render results ambiguous

the bear tag is so full and busy. really feel like i did my job for season one and now i can just rest and reblog.
#the bear#truth is im stuck at ep9 31:40#its past midnight but i keep coming back to it#its the song its the bright light its#the under the table minimal space moment#its the back to back listening to e/o concerns#and carm finally wording how much syd’s coming into the restaurant#into his life#shaking his space and craft#‘made him better at this’#and the cook talk… feeling like the most intimate shit#the eye contact and smile and complice contentment#and what if she just like completely melt and fail#he wont let you… he’ll stay by ur side#she looked for re-assurment in their partnership the whole time#and he is really.. There#the song?? god.#the light never been this warm#let me rewind

IMO the reason why dahlia says these things
and does her hardest to appear uncaring and heartless is bc of this:
since dahlia is dead, and has also wronged many people... if anyone wanted to take revenge on her, they would have to target someone that she cares about, and someone who is still alive... someone like iris. and so dahlia makes a point to seem as though she doesnt care about iris at all, and reiterates that there isnt any way for anybody to hurt her
although she had planned to hurt mia, who is also dead, by killing her beloved sister maya. but if she insists that she doesnt care about iris, then maybe nobody will try to hurt iris in an attempt to take revenge on dahlia..
#something something dahlia wary that maybe godot or phoenix or even maya or pearl would hurt iris in an attempt to take revenge on her#so she insists that she doesnt care about her.. and also takes the secrets of iris complicity with her to the grave#something something godot trying to frame iris#and dahlia trying to minimize damage by insisting she doesnt give af about her#i will always believe that dahlia and iris care for each other 🗣 need to write my convoluted and elaborate headcanons abt them lol
