#autism has won today

[lynxscircushell]

so yknow how like schools ask you to read books over the summer and then write about them when school starts up again? yeah so I completely forgot about that and the only book I read over the summer was the book of bill. so not only did we have to write about the book we read, for my class we had a test for it and we had to write an essay about a quote (or quotes) and use it as a sliding glass door, mirror, or window. so today i had to write an essay in my english about how im a mabel kinnie and based it off one quote and try not to accidentally traumadump to my teacher. anyways

the funniest part is I was gonna include ANOTHER quote like that shit was gonna be longer. the only thing keeping me back was I ran out of time and my hand started to cramp really bad. see kids, sometimes hyperfixations can be useful !

AUTISM WON TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I own a few big box promo releases of my favorite games I simply love them but the baroque distorted delusions box is so fucking insanely good. Oh my god. In certain lights you can see a faint “hold baroque inside yourself” on it. This is one of the highest quality boxes ive ever gotten my hands on this thing is absolutely gorgeous.

Sing Warrior Cats AU PT: 1 - Allegiances Pages

Ok, so this started as a random idea at approximately 6 in the afternoon two days ago. I have since become *slightly* hyperfixated on this AU and made up at least a trilogy storyline and a ton of information for this. I also pulled several near all nighters that I was yelled at for by my lovely mutuals (who are gonna pretend that they enjoy me spamming the with random warrior names). And after all that, I give you Moonclan or our Calatonia group and Sunclan, our Redshore group!

Now, warning, to make this a logical (well as logical as warriors can be), there will be relationships between characters that I do not express in any of my other works (ie. Hobbs being Nana’s brother) and OCs to fill out the Redshore group from seven-ish people.

I hope y’all all enjoy!!!

Geography AND linguistics? It is Autism Time(TM).

Once you know what you’re looking for, it is so easy to find examples of repeated words in place names in the real world. Here are just a few examples off the top of my head actually a lot of examples because I love this sort of thing.

Pretty much every language has a suffix used in city names that means “city.” In English you’ve got places like Jacksonville, Springville, Watertown, Bloomington, Park City, or Kansas City. Russian uses “grad,” as in Volgograd (city on the Volga River) or Petrograd (a former name of St. Petersburg.) Greek uses “polis,” such as for Heliopolis or Hadrianopolis (which later morphed into Adrianople and has since been renamed Edirne). That suffix gets borrowed a lot in other languages, such as Florianópolis (Portuguese) or Sevastopol (Russian/Ukrainian). The Persian suffix “abad” (literally “cultivated place”) appears in places like Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. Swedish has “stad” (“city,” although the Danish equivalent “sted” means “place”), used in Fredrikstad and Kristianstad.

Another common one is “port.” English will put it on either side of another word; for example, Portland, Portsmouth, Port Royal, and Shreveport. Spanish uses this a lot too; for example, Puerto Montt or Puerto Rico (originally Puerto Rico was the city and San Juan was the island, but their names were swapped early in their history). Portuguese has Porto Alegre. The Germanic languages use variants of “haven”, for instance Bremerhaven or København (the Danish spelling of Copenhagen).

Speaking of San Juan, saint names are very common too. San Juan, San Salvador, Santa Barbara, or Santa Clara in Spanish (which has gendered words for everything, including saints); St. Louis or St. George in English; Saint-Nazaire or Saint-Malo in French; and São Paulo in Portuguese.

Many cities originated as forts or were named after forts; for instance, Fort Worth in English or Frankfurt in German. The word “Hradec” in the Czech cities Hradec Kralove and Jindřichův Hradec means “castle.” That’s also the root of the Germanic suffix “burg” used in places like Hamburg or Oldenburg in Germany and Nyborg in Denmark (literally identical in meaning to the English city of Newcastle). Note however that Brandenburg comes from the etymologically unrelated West Slavic “brani boru” meaning “war forest”, and the “berg” in Nuremberg comes from the German word for “mountain”; they are only similar by coincidence.

Churches also make frequent appearances - see Christchurch in English, Dunkirk/Dunkerque from West Flemish via English/French, or Aix-la-Chapelle in French (now Aachen, a German descendant from the same linguistic origin as “Aix” but without any reference to Charlemagne’s chapel).

Lots of cities in Norway are named after fjords, including Sandefjord and Kjøllefjord. Another suffix that pops up frequently in Norwegian is “sund” meaning strait or sound; for example, Ålesund or Kristiansund.

The Danish word “ø” means “island” and is attached to the end of many island names: Læsø, Samsø, Agersø, Vejrø. “Øerne” (“the islands”) appears in the name Færøerne, translated as “the sheep islands”; this means that their English name “the Faroe Islands” would translate to “the the sheep islands islands.”

Given the number of dams and dikes in the Netherlands, it probably shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that their two largest cities are Amsterdam (“the dam on the river Amstel”) and Rotterdam (“the dam on the river Rotte”).

The Swedish suffix “köping,” derived from an Old Norse word for “market,” appears in many place names such as Linköping, Norrköping, and Nyköping.

Many Arabic place names begin with the word “al” or “el”, which roughly means “the.” It’s often left out of translations or transliterations (for example, Al-Fallujah becomes Fallujah), I imagine in part because it’s being used here in a sense that would seem jarring in English when translated literally (think “The London” or “The Charlottesville”). Al and el are two different ways of writing the same Arabic word in the Latin alphabet, and since Arabic doesn’t have capital letters or hyphens, you’ll see both of those elements used inconsistently. Sometimes the pronunciation of the L in al/el gets assimilated into the following sound, such as in Deir ez-Zur or Ash Shaddai. (The closest English equivalent would be the rules on when to use “a” vs “an.”)

Not sure what to call a place? Pick another place you like and slap your language’s word for “new” in front of it. New York (English), Nueva Valencia (Spanish), Neubrandenburg (German), Nova Scotia (Latin for some reason). The Russian city of Novgorod’s name means “new town.” Novi Sad is Serbian for “New Plantation”; Nyköping is Swedish for “New Market.”

If two cities have the same name, they can be distinguished by their locations or other important characteristics; for instance, England has Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle-under-Lyme, and Newcastle on Clun; Germany has Frankfurt am Main (“Frankfurt on the Main River”) and Frankfurt an der Oder (“Frankfurt on the Oder River”); and Russia has Veliky Novgorod (“Great Novgorod”) and Nizhny Novgorod (“Lower Novgorod”).

One of the common threads across all of these examples is cities being named after people - Jacksonville (Andrew Jackson), Hadrianopolis (Emperor Hadrian), Petrograd (Peter the Great and Saint Peter), Ahmedabad (Sultan Ahmed Shah I), Jindřichův Hradec (Jindřich I Vítkovec), and Kristiansund (Christian VI of Denmark-Norway), for example.

Translation can do a ton of weird things to names, like adding redundant words (“the Faroe Islands” meaning “the the sheep islands islands”) or replacing them with an unrelated but similar-sounding word (“Sjælland,” a Danish name of uncertain origin, becomes “Zealand” in English, possibly via German “Seeland” meaning “sea land”; confusingly, it is the Dutch province of Zeeland, also “sea land”, which is the namesake of New Zealand, and neither Zeeland nor New Zealand have any etymological relationship to Sjælland/Zealand). Occasionally a place name will get literally translated instead of transliterated (Nova Scotia is Nouvelle-Écosse in French and Alba Nuadh in Scottish Gaelic). Some places will have completely different names in different languages (variations on Deutchland/Germany/Alemania/Niemcy/Saksa, depending on what language you’re asking in).

Finally, as a note on fantasy names specifically, one of the central conceits of JRR Tolkien’s works is that he was translating ancient texts rather than writing original stories. In order to preserve the sense of the world as Frodo would have understood it, he translated hobbit place names to words with the same English meaning such as the Shire or Brandywine, while transliterating (copying only the sound, not the meaning) of “foreign” names like Minas Tirith or Khazad-dûm. Tolkien being Tolkien, this was an actual literal act of translation to English from a language he invented, but “use English place-name elements to convey a sense of familiarity and invented place-name elements to convey a sense of unfamiliarity” is a great general rule for fantasy authors with even the most modest of linguistic ambitions.

fantasy is so fun until you have to name your countries and make a map someone please end my misery

when I say “autism won today” I’m not saying it like a self absorbed autism speaks mom moaning about how autism has stolen her normal child, I’m saying it like a warrior leader in a hall full of his compatriots the evening after coming out on top of a most fierce enemy, lifting his cup to the heavens and bellowing, with the power of all those who have fallen and the joy of all who have not, that “autism won today.”

Be aware of alexbstudios.

Over the course of what I believe a few months maybe, Alex has been harassing me with strange behavior and as of recent hurtful remarks too. He's been bothering other people as well from what I've seen. Probably going to say I should've just blocked him, but I wanted to keep an eye on things just in case. Today was the point in time after everything that I realized I should let people know about this kid.

I want to show from the beginning to present time of the interactions he's done with me. And maybe something can be done about getting him off the platform...

Firstly I want to say Alex has admitted to being 12 years old... apparently. I know this from this reblog. This already is a very large red flag. Considering the young age, no a callout doesn't seem right but I still want to warn people regardless since he's still active on the platform.

Though I am uncertain if this is true, he did not confirm nor deny my question about it.

Now lets get to the start of things. I don't like people reposting my art anywhere without credit, surely that can be said for everyone.

Randomly in May Alex reposted my art, no credit, mention of who made it, or where it came from. I should mention Alex had been following me well before this post, so he knew who I was. Rightfully I responded with a request to take it down as I didn't appreciate this.

Upon making this request he made a small complaint about it, which was unneeded. While he did "delete" the post, it still technically there, just edited. Therefore never officially removed like I had asked.

He also uploaded two other drawings I did, but he did not remove those ones.

Not too long ago on a post I made showcasing my Chris model, as it had been a while since I posted it, and I wanted to let people see it.

Alex later said some... questionable things about it. And it really made me uncomfortable to say the least.

For context in my AU, my Chris is 29. This has been stated before a few times.

I want to get to the biggest thing here however, as this is what drove me to make this post. The consistent weird and hateful DM's he has sent me.

I have told Alex to leave me alone on several different occasions and he has refused to do so. Again I know I should've blocked but as I said, just wanted to wait in case. Truth is I don't like blocking people, never have, I feel weird doing it. But anyways Alex made a poll a week ago if I recall correctly of whether or not he should keep or delete his account. The poll won on keep. No sooner did this happen, Alex was in my DM's bothering me about it after I again told him to leave me alone.

The DM's are as followed with context and info:

He responded with something along the lines of "Then my account would become lost media!" to which I only responded "No one really cares."

Next post is where Alex starts to mock me for being slow with my replies. I don't quite understand what speed he expects me to write my replies at, I guess 5 seconds?

So as you have noticed Alex is now making fun of my autism, and it's going to continue in this unfortunately. Bringing up a disability in an argument should not happen. However at some point Alex accused me of creating alts to vote against his poll, I have none.

I'm not sure why me specifically... and I hate how me being "slow" keeps getting brought up. Also racism is somehow brought into this as well.

He spammed me with the same image repeatedly, and it continued for a while. Passing that, he wanted me to run the same poll he did on if I should keep or delete my account. I obviously declined.

He then blocked me after this.

Alex in the past DM'd me, when he made those remarks about my Chris model. I wasn't happy then and I'm still not about it.

I'm still puzzled as to why he calls being blocked as banned. Besides that this comes to the end of the DM ark. Alex has done other things, such as suggest people to draw strange stuff, edited other peoples work, steal other peoples work, and tried to stir up drama at one point.

In conclusion,

Alex is immature. And should not be here, especially this fandom. But in general he should not be online, it is clear he has unlimited access to whatever he wants.

I am sorry to my friends and others who have had to deal with him. That is all I have to say.

Any questions or whatnot is fine. Reblogs are appreciated in order to spread the word.
