lol I remember that time as a teenager when i think I got this book for free from a garage sale (the same one i got the hobbit and 1984 for free) or from a library sale which was in Spanish
And I read the whole thing only knowing a very basic amount of Spanish
I only very vaguely got the gist of it lol
#I mean it is good to listen and read in that language#But it was way above my level#Spanish#Language#My teen self#I remember them talking about zapatos a lot#Seemed like#Maybe I could do that with a rather basic German book now#Spanish I need a little more#Also Ukrainian

i checked the italian blind run that apparently is very popular in the IT community. and. was anyone.
so was anyone. was anyone going to tell me in this version dusknoir asks if his existence had value.
his line about saying with full sincerity that life is marvelous.
why didnt i hear of this until now i crave to know every little difference between translations so i can cry again and again over the same guy.
#i love all the other translations dont get me wrong#there hasnt been any new content of futuee trio in 10 years i need to sustain myself somehow#no but fr 'now that the end is approaching... i can say without hesiation... and#with full sincerity... life is wonderful'#hey localization team wtf#i like other translations where dusknoir specifically says hes not wavering up till the very end#that he lived#its concise yet unflinching. a state of fact. despite all the darkness that surrounded him and he tried to perpetuate#in the end he lived. his existence happened. thanks to grovyle he can embrace the life he had and let it go with no regrets#but this IT version where it feels a little more abstract and less individualistic doesnt turn me away either#it puts the focus a bit away from himself to make a more encompassing statement: life is wonderful#living is wonderful#i dont think its inherently better or worse. i appreciate the difference. i think celebi says sth similar afterwards too#btw i teared up while taking the screenshots thank you in the morning sun#btw x2 idk italian so thank god these structures were so close and similar to spanish and latin#pmd2#pmd dialogue

silly software-based doodles
i've noticed i generally like putting these guys in their lower ranges, and while that's fine for the most part w/ adjustments, oliver usually ends up suffering b/c he is not built to go that low 😭😭
also related to oliver: he is not built for really fast songs 😭 i mean i suppose you can force him to sing one but even w/ adjustments he's not gonna sound all that great, definitely more suited for slower-paced songs
all the jpnloids can easily exchange a bunch of .vpr/.vsqx & whatever files w/ each other b/c duh native japanese support. rip oliver and moke in non-native jpn jail since if i want them to sing one of those i have to do SO MUCH manual phoneme correction... explodes
#my art lol#vocaloid#flower vocaloid#fukase vocaloid#oliver vocaloid#utatane piko#kagamine len#zhiyu moke#quickly posting this cause i gotta get back to working on this fuckass essay is2g. i needed to doodle smthn silly to not lose my sanity#but i gotta lock in after this fr. ughhhh 2 MORE WEEKS IM ALMOST FREE...... save me vocaloids#but yeah fuckign around in the software itself is fun. i wish i was good at tuning 😭🥴 but hey i mean#if i can make silly things good enough for me then goal accomplished. everything is an experiment and im a mad scientist#oliver's a little shit to work w/ sometimes but thats part of the fun/challenge ig??? he's not as headache-inducing as some other bitches#nah cause at this point i can do most of his phoneme conversions to get him to speak somewhat good jpn (or spanish?) from memory 🥴

Culture Shock
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#xiao xingchen#xue yang#a-qing#As I sit here and type out my thoughts I realize that the last panel looks like A-Qing is crushing XY's candy...oops.#she's supposed to be crunching her *own* wrapper for dramatic effect. XY's candy is still in XXC's hand.#Hes still standing there. 180 degrees out of frame. Which is where your heart is! MEANING: XXC is in your heart right now#holding out a little piece of candy that has yet to be taken.#This comic was so close to being on the chopping block. Honestly I'm still not sure I should have kept it in#but I liked this scene a lot*** and tbh the yi-city arc isn't around for much longer. Let them have fun while it lasts.#not to mention I have few opportunities to build up spanish speaking XXC. And we are close to the pay off.#XY is in his 'oh god I need to start learning the basics of this language or I will drown' phases. Lets see how well he does!#***The candy represents so much! It's a symbol of unobtainability! Of comfort and status! Both A-qing and XY crave candy as much as they-#-crave those 'unobtainables'! XY has money to by candy (part of status) but he lacks love and comfort is his life!#So XXC offering them this little piece of candy is more than just a treat! It's a piece of love!#But as sweet as candy is....it cannot last....#(this also makes the scene where XY disrupts A-Qing's comfort by offering candy very interesting to analyze)

I'm gonna be so real, this little white girl over here (me) knows like nothing about most nationalities so like half of the choices for the nationalities were me just looking at a map and going "oh yeah this character should be a bit of this continent. Yup."
#some do have more significance to me tho!#sonic being greek is so real to me. also a little bit of Egyptian bc a lot of other ppl hc that too#KNUCKLES IS NATIVE AUSTRALIAN ‼️‼️‼️ always will be 2 me.... Mayan and Jamaican were added bc of other details#ESPIO IS JAPANESE!!!! 100%#silver is Italian bc VENICE ITALY! And Soleanna is Italy. Pakistani added because i saw someone else donit and i was like 👍#Starline is so white Australian who tries to make himself have a British accent in my head#Robotnik is a polish name LMAO so Gerald is polish. Ivo gets to be part russian as intended and Maria gets to be part spanish#Honey NEEDS to be Japanese! I added Chinese too bc shes so asian#TANGLE IS A LEMUR THAT GIRL IS FROM MADAGASCAR#anyways rest is just “This character is latino! or black! or white! or middle eastern! or asian!” or something else i forgor

God bless little old ladies. There was a little cleaning lady walking by and I said “good morning” but she didn’t speak English and asked if I was looking for the bathroom in Spanish and I stuttered out in broken Spanish that I was just trying to ask her how her day was and she threw up her hands and said how sweet I was in Spanish and came over and hugged and kissed me.
#ghost posts#me in sad Spanish: I’m sorry I don’t speak much Spanish#her in Spanish: that’s okay I do not speak much English ☺️#i always try to say hello to the cleaning ladies#i know a lot of janitorial staff doesn’t get recognition#so I always try to say hello to people I see cleaning#edit: originally this said hispanic ladies but honestly little old ladies in general need more love

I'm not sure if maybe I'm just unlucky here, or maybe there's like.... something wrong with a larger system?
But why have I taken 5 Spanish classes and only managed to learn anything in one of them? And why is the college class the one I've learned the least in?
#this is literslly my third time tsking Spanish 1#i completely failed the first time but stupid “no child keft behind” sent me to Spanish 2 anyways#(i failed that even harder)#and those were my last two years of middle school#so because i failed them in middle school ajd you need the language credits in ny thet made me take it again in high school#my freshman yesr spanish 1 teacher was awesone and i passed her class with flying colors#and then i barely scraped by the skin of my teeth in Spanish 2 the next year#but I figured “hey its been 6 years since then and spanish is a cool language and i want to he able to talk to more people!#maybe I'll try to pick uo Spanish again!“#and so i signed up for this spanish 1/beginner spanish class at college bc its been actusl years i rekekher very little#literally have not learned anything frombthis teacher everything ive learned i self taught#fucking ridiculous#why am i paying $150 so i can look shit up this is bobkers

Your Muse's greeting methods; insp.
Hostile: Those who have hostile relations with Copperhead are lucky if they get a warning hiss let alone a verbal greeting. His body language screams imminent attack, hood flared and claws unsheathed for any potential fights. If he deigns to speak at all, Copperhead will be painfully blunt, asking what the person wants. Regardless of threat level, his gaze will be locked on them, making it obvious that whatever reason they have speaking to him had best be said, and quickly.
Neutral: Neutral relations will usually be quietly addressed by their name or title (if known, otherwise hello will suffice). Copperhead will be polite but aloof, speaking little and only replying when necessary. He'll usually speak this way to newcomers, be they people he's heard of or complete strangers, leaving little to be gleaned by more observant onlookers.
Friendly: Relaxed when it comes to friendly relations. Copperhead will immediately become more talkative, watching the person with none of the intensity as he would with somebody hostile. He's engaged, interested in what they have to say, welcoming them to a cup of tea if at his residence even. There's a hint of a smile in his face, the snake-man leaning closer depending on the comfort levels of both people. He'll speak openly at this level, allowing tone to slip into his speech to sound more personable and even affectionate depending on closeness.
Romanced: Romanced partners are regarded with the same soft politeness as he'd address strangers but with much more reverence. Copperhead will commonly refer to his romance interest/s with terms of affection, calling them his love (or mi amor in Spanish, which becomes more frequent the longer the relationship goes on). Lovers are greeted with a gentle nuzzle and a kiss, clearly having missed the comfort of their touch, their warmth.

i'm mourning the loss of purgatory's Government Assigned Team Dynamics (because i'm a sucker for shaking up dynamics and the forced interactions of people who may not otherwise have spoken) so please indulge me with your dream egg parenting group i'll start, bagi tina and rivers [i'm right]
#qsmp#i have REASONS okay it's more than vibes#first of all any good egg polycule needs its touchstone its Daily Logger someone who can be relied on to KEEP THE DAMN THING FROM DYING#(of neglect specifically)#bagi logs in every weekday she's extremely consistent and she's already proven to be smitten with these eggs. bagi's the touchstone#tina's a 'wobbler'; she's consistent but not a daily logger so she can be relied on if bagi's out for a week#between the two of them i have full faith they can keep the kid from neglect and spoil the kid to pieces#but vic you might say what about rivers wouldn't she just be third wheeling on bagina WRONG#well maybe right but WRONG because eggs have personalities of their own!!!! they're little people!!!!#if rivers is third wheeling then SO IS THE EGG THEY'RE IN THIS TOGETHER#anyway rivers at least at the moment is what i like to call a Wildcard#when she does or doesn't log in is pretty random and sporadic and inconsistent#that might change if she had an egg idk i don't know enough about her because she's a WILDCARD 😭#but anyway having bagi and tina as reliably keeping their kid from dying of neglect means she's free to keep her stream schedule#considering bagi interacting with egg trump at dia de muertos i think we can safely say she's not going to let rivers be erased as parent#probably would function like a roier-jaiden situation; bobby wasn't any less jaiden's son even though she didn't log as consistently as roi#AND IT WOULD FORCE RIVERS TO INTERACT WITH THE SERVER. I MISS HER DAMNIT. MY SPANISH ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH AND I MISS HER.#shut up vic#block game brainrot#but yeah rivers can keep her streaming schedule and still come to hang out with her egg kid when she's able#i lost the plot there bc tumblr's glitching on my phone bc it updated ios last night and everything's bugged to hell#i can't see tags after i write them it's wack as fuck#my secret secondary take is tubbo and pol have to be in the same government assigned parent group#tubbo seems to function better as weird uncle / fun godparent so having pol there is him as TUBBO'S touchstone in terms of the mature one#then tubbo and pol as consistent loggers can be the rest of the group's touchstone in terms of the kid not dying to neglect#long tags

honestly really need to curb my phone addiction and i’ve been looking into dumbphones lately as an alternative for when i’m out and about and like. say what you will about brand consumerism but i am a simple man and the barbie phone is calling to me
#NGL i liked the barbie movie i didn’t think it was anything exceptional but it was good#i probably wouldn’t get a whole phone themed around it but it was like the only dumbphone i could find that came in a cute color#and worked with us networks so. idk why not#i have like hundreds of dollars sitting in my account unused from a summer job but the little gollum in the back of my brain#is like that’s My money. that belongs to Me. and it hurts to spend even when i have no actual plans for it#so ditching my phone to stop feeling like i’m wasting my adolescence is as good a use as any#in a perfect world i would just stop taking my phone to school but i need music to calm my social anxiety on the walk#and i’m not playing games with the american public school system re: having a way to contact people in an emergency#i would feel kinda stupid buying it around now because i already gave my parents my wishlist and i don’t wanna seem ungrateful#but if i do end up buying it maybe i’ll do a review on here at some point. it looks really cute and there’s so many things i want to do#that having my phone as a distraction all the time makes difficult. read more learn to skateboard and crochet keep up with my spanish#start on hebrew and maybe arabic. pick up viola again. hang out with my friends finally get a permit and a part time job study for the sat#stop procrastinating my homework all the time!!!#like hate to say it but my mom was right sometimes it really is That Damn Phone™️#i don’t want to look back when i’m like thirty and go “wow i really threw away my high school years” yanno

spanish isn't my native language and im trying really hard to follow along without a translator right now, but after watching mariana's videos with captions for as long as i have and just winging my way through most of his streams i understand a surprising amount of what's going on ^_^
#i make yet anothet post just for me 👍#liveblogging#i can translate it a little bit if needed but i actually understand whats happening and the stuff theyre saying#im just happy i understand spanish a bit more. learning french is going much smoother considering i have classes for it#but spanish being as fluent as it is for me listening wise makes me kinda happy idk :DD#qsmp

after this year i have decided i will ditch the muses for tartessos.
#i'm just. tired.#and i know my phd proposal on the muses is tricky it needs a lot of theoretical work and there's not many sources#i have done stuff about tartessos for a few conferences now so. i think it makes sense that if i were to do my phd on another topic#it would be on it#i could do it on identity in tartessos#which again it is a very tricky topic with a lot of theoretical work and very little sources. but it does feel more approachable#and i could try applying to more spanish universities#especially those from the south#so yeah. i think that's the plan#if i don't get into any of the unis i've applied this year (very likely) i'll do that#a third year applying while focusing on oposiciones#and after that. i'm done trying to do a phd#at least at this point in my life#i cannot take it anymore
