Kind of 14, but really more like 6

I only speak English, but worked in customer service for a company that provided over the phone interpreting, mostly for medical facilities, so I've heard *so* many languages. Some of the interpreters would teach us things like phone greetings, and phrases like "thank you" or sometimes even cuss words.

A former housemate who lived in Madagascar for a while taught me some phrases in Malagasy, but if I needed to say "thank you" to someone who spoke Malagasy it wouldn't come to me.

I can absolutely greet someone in Korean though. For some reason that one really stuck.

Please reblog, I'm curious

COOOOOOOOOKED OMFG

Does Narinder have a important role on Ortega's cult or is he just, like, the janitor?

One of the first things Narinder did was go on a missionary mission, and he was extremely successful. Ortega decided it was beneficial for them both if he had something that would keep him busy and give him some kind of control, whether over others or his bodily choices. It's indifferent to anything Narinder does outside of his work. In fact, it believes that if he never returned, it would lose nothing. Narinder Trivia, under the cut?

While his metaphysical chains have been broken, the physical ones have joined his body over imprisonment. He has full control over them(think of Kratos's Blades of Olympus), but he can attach them to anything to use as a weapon—even living beings.

Body type wise, he's more of a big cat than a regular cat, jaguar but slightly 'off' in some way.

His fur is surely stained red with the blood of others; there is a red undertone to his fur in the right light.

One-sided affection for Ortega. He doesn't know when it happened but doesn't question it.

18. Do you believe dreams have meanings or are they completely random?

In my opinion they most definitely do (although not always), for what is life itself but a dream of God? Being that dreams occur when our brain releases dmt, now often termed the "spirit molecule", dreams hold limitless potential for the sublime and miraculous. For although many of my own dreams seem silly and just feel like my brain is defragmenting the day's experiences like a computer, every once in a while I'm gifted something truly sublime and memorable. At times I'll even gain lucidity which add great depth and meaning, but alas, it does not come as easily to me as some other people I know. Yet there's a reason dreams have been revered as a means of receiving prophecy in many traditions or as a practice of self-mastery when lucid. For in that liminal space we have the possibility to better observe the patterning of our subconscious or even receive messages from beyond...

aloe vera and taro for the ask game :)

aloe vera: what's something (mundane) you really want to experience in life?

oh my god like everything especially if w other people. top of my head is sitting in a car and eating takeout w someone or just cruising around at night i havent done those in a while. or go to the waterfront and just sit at the bench but its too cold to do that rn. or if im in syria i want to go down at 6am to buy fruit from the guy yelling down the street with a barrel. or also in syria but run into a neighbor in the hallway and then offer them food. I MISSSS IT I ❤️ MUNDANE ACTIVITIES. but i could go on

taro: if someone called you right now to catch up, what're the things you'd tell them about?

ohh like a bunch of things i think. would tell them i just met a really sweet girl on campus and her outfit was so cute and that also in my science fiction class today my prof was talking about how cornflakes were created to “improve our sexual health” and how some in the 19th century believed that, and i quote my prof, “if we gave into our sexual urges then society would collapse, so we better eat some fucking cornflakes, or society will collapse”

yeah but whats up with this january transfer news shit????? 😭 cause I obviously know that if I read up on moroccan media they have their own version but the turkish press seem a bit negative about him for some reason so out of curiosity I wanted to understand if turkish fans have any idea & what they think about the saudi stuff, if there's anything concrete about it. Can I postpone my mental breakdown etc

Here's another thing I feel like we need to talk about regarding the current war between Israel and Hamas. Minor as it may be, I've been losing my mind over this.

As a person who grew up in the early 2010s, I grew up mostly on the internet and fandom culture, and have written quite a lot of fanficition in my early teens.

Something I've realized this past week is that people are seeing Palestine as a fandom. And not only does it belittle the actual problem, it dehumanizes Palestinians and Israelis alike and allows the rewriting of facts and truths as if it were an AU fanfic.

After realizing that I jokingly told a friend that I wouldn't be surprised to see RPF about the events of October 7th. I had in mind something like slash fiction of Hamas members, but today I found out people are writing fanfiction about A HOSTAGE AND HER CAPTOR.

I also found out it didn't happen in a vaccum - apparently tiktok is exploding with this stuff, saying Maya Regev - the hostage in question - had "left her heart in Gaza", because she smiled and said "shukran, bye" to her captors.

In case you have forgotten - Maya Regev was SHOT IN THE LEG AND TAKEN HOSTAGE INTO GAZA along with her brother, who was released FOUR DAYS AFTER HER. She was released with a shattered leg and without her brother - but if she smiled, her captors must have treated her so well, amirite? (Even though there are already plenty of horror stories from Hamas captivity, and children came back pale and whispering with their heads full of lice.)

Even in the early 2010s there was a debate whether RPF is legit or not (and at 26 I can safely say it's a no from me), but in this case it's even worse. These are not public figures we are talking about. This isn't One Direction or The Beatles. The Hamas terrorists are, well, terrorists, and Maya Regev is a private person made public because she was TAKEN HOSTAGE INTO GAZA. Writing a FANFIC about actual people who were actually injured during October 7th is beyond sickening, and it's probably the most immoral thing you can do on social media for the Palestinian cause (and if you guys claim to be on the side of morality you might want to be consistent).

Another thing that's driving me crazy is the difference between Israelis and Non-Israelis who grew up on the same things at the same time. my friends and I learned a lot about justice, critical thinking, and the power of art and creativity on the internet. I met a lot of my online friends in socialist youth movements and rallies, and many of them later became my classmates in Bezalel - BECAUSE we applied what we had learned into our adult life.

Non Israelis who grew up on the same platforms as I did who took part in the same fandoms, read the same fanfiction works, learned the same truths of social justice and the power of art- are now viewing the conflict as a fandom. You're either a fan or you're wrong - there is no middle. No room for critical thinking, for "Palestinians have every right to self-determination and an independent state BUT Hamas who actively prevents them said rights has comitted crimes against humanity on 7.10 and must be held accountable", or for "the occupation must end BUT the Jewish people are indigenous to the region" - there is only room for "by all means" and "from the river to the sea". It doesn't matter if they don't know which river and what sea - because if the conflict is a fandom, then they can write an AU to deal with every truth that doesn't settle with their narrative, and rewrite reality to fit their next fanfic.

"shukran" 🫶🏾

I pictured leshy saying this exactly-

Not even being away for two days in their own tent can spare them from Shamura teasing 💔

[Additional context ； Sozonius is a honeypot ant! Okay that's out the way LMAODQJJDSKFM—Shamura usually likes to have small chat with any of Lamb's new spouses and the newest spouse would so happen to be Sozonius - being engaged to him first rather than Lamb - and it being a funny coincidence]

anndd the inference was that sozo happened to be gone for a whole night while lamb was also sick in the same night and could only rest in their tent ,, being the attentive doctor he is He of course spends the whole night with lamb to make sure they're okay but shamura had a sneaky suspicion something else went on HESKCSCJ

Present homophobic dog image w shamura 🫴 it was a little humorous TT

anatomy was such a pain in the ass to do though it took me three hours jist cuz i struggled with allures arm 😵

Why is allures recent type old bugs bro like do you got something to tell us or.... 🤨🤨/silly
