I don't think we talk often enough about how amazing a poet J.R.R. Tolkien was.
I just read The Lay of Arthur and it was amazing. I got to the battle scene and was so caught up in the excitement and the sound that I just had to read it aloud. It was its own kind of adrenaline rush. I haven't been caught up in poetry like that in a long time.
#tolkien#the lay of arthur#poetry#breaking news: the guy who became a philologist because he liked the sounds of languages writes some good-sounding poetry#i never understood old english alliterative poetry until now#one of the september reading moods i forgot to talk about#was a mood for medieval-ish things#it started with 'the napoleon of notting hill'#but branched out more to a 'ballad of the white horse' vibe#so this fit perfectly#and beowulf is also on my list

Guys. Guys. Hear me out. This reset was planned since the beginning of the server. Since the beginning of everything.
There was a person on twt that has been making theories since the firsts months of the qsmp, and theorized that the island is an time loop and after reaching a certain point it restarts again, but the story repeats itself with changes on the plot caused on what they learn on the previous resets, as the purpose of the federation says: to make the island perfect. The old buildings at the beginning of the server, the diaries and entries found by Cellbit, the resistance, everything is designed and supposed to happen again and again and again.
Now, I know that things have been difficult for everyone in this past months, but I believe that this was the original plan of the server until the idea got distorted in the way (the situation with the admins that managed the server, the egg event that extended for almost a year, miscommunication, etc), and know that its know the new admins running Quackity Studios are people really passionated with the project I believe that they would want to bring again the original plans that were done for the server but they were never able to do for different reasons (hopefully the horror is back again! :D)
But I'm really faithful about this changes, and I DO believe this is not something that was planned in a rush and this is something that was put on the table years ago when qsmp was only especulation, it's just sad that things developed in the way they did but hey, the important thing is to learn from the mistakes in order to have better results in the future, and I hope this new start just bring good things for everyone, we really need it :,)
#qsmp#also sorry if some things sounds a little weird I'm not using the translator I'm just letting my mind run wild#but to sump up#I think this reset was meant to happen as part of the lore of Quesadilla Island#Who knows if the players that went out earlier of the server are coming back again or this is a reset with new people#So the old Islanders can take a break from the server after an intense year#and HOW KNOWS if they get introduced later on in the server as players that were found “frozen in ice blocks” or “sleeping in water capsule#HOW KNOWS IF THE SERVER STARTS AGAIN WITH ONLY SPANISH AND ENGLISH PEOPLE#AND AFTER A MONTH WE GET A BOAT CRASHING WITH PEOPLE AND A MONTH AFTER THAT A PLANE THAT CASUALLY CRASHES SOMEWHERE#THINK ABOUT THE POSIBILITIES

Thinkin about merperson shark max and marine biologist daniel
#cold water shark merperson max in the north sea swimming along the Dutch shoreline#marine biologist Daniel on summer holiday with uhhh Oscar and Logan to Amsterdam#but daniel drags them to the coast to nerd out abt the different sea life there#and sees a cool shark dude jumping out of the water and biting a seal and dragging it down and gets obsessed#the next day daniel brings a tub of raw meat or something to the beach and waits for the shark dude max to return#max and some other merpeople in the area (more of the drivers)(the french & english & germans & Kevin) surfacing to start a hunt#and max instantly swims towards the People Who Hurt Us Place bc he smells fresh meat#while like Esteban and Pierre try to hold him back#daniel throws the meat wad out to the water as he sees the shark dude approach#but max jumps up and catches it midair and lands on top of daniel while monching the shit out of it#Daniel’s excited but stays calm even when Max starts biting his legs bc he knows sharks use their mouth to explore new things#freaking out the other people on the beach and Oscar and Logan who think he’s a maniac#underwater communication is through body language (& sonar but that’s for other fancier merpeople) so Max can’t quite talk to daniel#but there’s a few translation guides on merpeople body language of all areas on earth#so daniel can bare his teeth and scrunch his face up and move his arms in a way that max understands#so now Max becomes obsessed with him because there’s a human from the People Who Hurt Us place who can actually talk to him#and daniel cancels the rest of his summer break plans to learn everything he can about his shark dude#including what happens during mating season#lol#but my mind is going off and I gotta dump it somewhere#maxiel#max verstappen#daniel ricciardo#mv1#dr3#em fic posting#I shoulda put this in the post itself and not tags

“24 shtator love is incredibile”
I used to think that love doesn't exist, that it is impossible for two people to love forever and to love each other at the same level at the same time.
And of course, opinions about this topic tend to change in various directions.
Love is peace, love is calmness, love is incredible.
It's very weird how, out of nowhere, a person you have never known can become everything to you. To love is to build, and where is love, everything can be resolved. What these last two years have taught me is that love is real, and where there is love, everything can be fixed. If you love, you care,if you love, you change,if you love, you don't repeat the same mistakes. It may take a little bit of time, but as long as there is love from both sides, nothing too bad can happen. Love will never allow that, it heals every problem
As long as you love, you are always eager to change. It may take time, but love helps you grow, and you need time to grow.
The idea is not to find a perfect person, it's impossible, as you're not perfect in the first place. The idea is to find someone whose imperfections you can tolerate and are acceptable within your boundaries. After that, all you need is mutual respect and love, with someone you can share everything with. It's mind-blowing how much of yourself you can share with a lover, its like being an open book.
Love is incredible!
(Those two songs in the backround inspired me to write this)

Petition to bring back the archaic word "fere" as a gender neutral* term for a companion/mate/spouse. It has roots from the Old English word "gefera" roughly meaning "one who goes with another" and is pronounced "feer" which sounds like "Dear" which is already a term of endearment and is homophonous with "fear" so you can sound like an oxymoronic gay vampire or smth ("Hello my Fere >:)")
*the word "fere" was gender-neutral in English but has evolved into male-gendered words like "fuhrer" and "frere" in German and French respectively
#dolphin noises#guess who's been reading the dictionary for fun again :D#not cover to cover that'd be boring just flipping through looking for cool stuff#I did this a lot in high school bc I had no friends but I learned a lot about absinthe 😌#Dictionary.com feeds me ads but Webster's New World College Dictionary 3rd Edition (c. 1996) would never 💜#I'm less of a linguistics person like my sister and more just like increasing my vocabulary with very specific and unusual words#I love that English has words for throwing stones (lapidation) and also throwing someone through a window (defenestration)#have you heard of lithobraking that one's too new to be in my dictionary but I find it hilarious. To slow down by crashing on purpose 😂#alas my sesquipedalian tendencies can sadly not be sated in my more recent writing bc that would be 2hcb1#3rd person limited POV from Asbel? Probably not gonna break out the word 'compunction' even if it DOES perfectly fit chapter 2 😩#Also the word 'abseil' it means to descend by rapelling which he does multiple times! And it looks like his name! BUT HE WOULD NOT SAY THAT#I guess I need to write more Richard or Hubert POV so i can write in my own voice 😅 or update my old zesty fic Mikleo likes big words too 😁

OUGHHH the way this post makes my eye twitch .
people in victorian times when they read a book that said “dear reader”: ITS HORRIFYING THAT WE’RE INVENTING A NEW 4TH PERSON PRONOUN 😱😱
#the way it’s neither a pronoun or in ‘fourth person’ which is a debatable concept in english AT BEST#like……. i think this is bc english doesn’t have a universal plural second person#and so people don’t see y’all youse you guys etc as what they are#and are shocked every time a new one is invented???? but like . it’s still a plural second person????#and so many people in the notes are making these claims about ‘breaking the fourth wall’ making it ‘fourth person’ like . you’re just#conflating two different things???? a metaphor about a cinematic technique literally has nothing to do with tense omg#them using the same phrase does not make them equivalent -_-#me if ranting about things that don’t matter online was illegal:#actually it does matter bc i hate when people are confidently stupid . there

I feel the problem with texts like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Sunset Boulevard, and The Memory Police is that my analysis feels too off-the-wall compared to what they want us to regurgitate ._.
#Like... did nobody catch on the abusive household environment Christopher was in during CIDNT? HIS DAD LITERALLY PUNCHED HIM#Though perhaps I was uniquely advantaged in analysing that text because everyone else was thrown off by the autistic protagonist#meanwhile me... who is all too damn aware.......#it didn't distract me from the real meat of the novel at all. I just went 'oh so this is your flavour of 'tism' and looked for the real#substance hidden between the lines~#In SB nobody seems to talk about Norma's cluster b disordered personality as being a product of her environment#or her seeming overreliance on horoscopes and outside opinion because having her life dictated by others prevents her from focussing on the#painful truth of her situation#And now the novel i'm currently doing which already seems to be versed in the imperfections of japanese culture#i had a thought connecting the idea of 'the new cavities in my heart search for things to burn'#and the book-burning later in the novel which stirs up the protagonists memory of things it shouldn't-- birds for one#consistently when things are destroyed in this novel it creates some emotional response in the townspeople#and that's the reason they hunger for destruction? It breaks their emotional numbness? They're trying to fill their heart's holes.#Fire is antithetical to snow too; the persistent winter is explicitly a symbol for the persistent nothingness that the island is becoming#Hhhhh i know it's all vague conjecture atm but i know the teachers are gonna hate it :/#i feel like the one thing english as a class has taught me is that any expression of my written creativity is wrong ^^;
