"Do you have this skirt in white?" "¿Tienes esta falda en blanco?" Why not "blanca"?

All colors by themselves are masculine as nouns

I'm going to try to explain this as best as I can but just know that I will probably add some extra info you didn't ask and I hopefully won't confuse you too bad, but just know that ALL colors when presented as nouns are masculine

Adveribal phrases with colors will also generally appear as their "masculine singular" form, which can be confusing when you see a color that looks feminine

-

en blanco means "in (the color) white", but you could phrase it in a way where blanco/a is used as an adjective for falda

In the same vein you could say en rosa "in (the color) pink" OR en rosado "in pink"... because el rosa is "the color pink"....... as far as I know there's know "roso" masculine, it's always taken rosa the plant to use as a color which makes it masculine

...

I'm not sure 100% if this explanation is helpful but it's the en here that's important and marks it as an unchanging "adverbial phrase"; the typical adjective needs to apply directly to a noun, but the use of en marks it as either a noun phrase or part of an adverb

In other words, it would always show up as "masculine singular" as its own little phrase, even if it's something like botas en negro "boots in black", even though if you were going to say "black boots" you'd say botas negras as feminine plural

(I think de can also do this like vestirse de negro is "to dress in all black" and it's always negro "black" as maculine rather than saying something like la camisa negra "black shirt")

-

But as far as all colors being masculine as nouns

I think it's masculine because it's el color and some colors like color café "brown" or "coffee-colored" sometimes work like that, where you sometimes see color + noun to make it some kind of color but understood as masculine

(Also possibly because el tinte "dye" is masculine but I tend to think it's color)

So for colors you will see el rojo, el naranja, el amarillo, el verde, el azul, el morado/lila for the typical rainbow colors "red", "orange", "yellow", "green", "blue", "purple"... and then el negro "black", el blanco "white" [when it doesn't also mean "target"], and el rosa "pink"

Note: You may also see el anaranjado "orange" for el naranja or el rosado "pink" for el rosa... Same difference. Linguistically anaranjado/a means "orange-y" or "the color of an orange", and rosado/a is "pink" as in "the color of roses" or "rosy"

Any color will show up this way when talking about colors as nouns - even el turquesa "turquoise color", el púrpura "the color purple", or el caoba "mahogany color", or el plata "the color silver" and in general when you take a traditional noun and use it as a color

-

This can be really confusing as a concept though, I do understand. I still get tripped up with orange and pink and turquoise

It's why when you're starting out people often teach you anaranjado/a for "orange" and rosado/a as "pink" because they more typically look like adjectives

However you'll often see el naranja used as "the color orange" [with la naranja as "orange" the fruit], and el rosa as "the color pink" [with la rosa as "rose"] ... or el turquesa is "turquoise" color, while la turquesa is "turquoise" gem

But just know that ALL colors are masculine as nouns; they might change as adjective like rojo/a but el rojo "the color red" is masculine. So anytime you see something like "What's your favorite color?" or asking what color something is in, you're usually using the masculine form or a masculine noun

HOLY SHIT I FOUND YOU!! I SAW YOUR FNAF ART LIKE A YEAR AGO ON PINTREST AND I WAS LIKE DAMN THATS PRETTY FUCKING AWSOME BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME I COULDN'T FIND THE ARTIST BUT I JUST DID, ITS YOU!!

I have no idea which art of mine you found from pinterest but based on what you're implying I lowkey think it's this screenshot redraw I made for the FNAF movie lmao (which I hope I'm right)

Unfortunately you won't get much FNAF art from me nowadays anon, ever since Ruin disappointed me immensely I've just lost most of the hope I've been clinging onto for the franchise, now I'm just here... reminiscing, watching from the sidelines, and making a once-in-a-blue-moon art for it if I'm feeling extra

In that case, what was it like when you tried writing something entirely different from what you had written before? (New genre, story in an environment you had never used before, etc.) As you climbed the mountain of a new story, what were some ways that you were able to recognize various footholds (of sorts) which enabled you to continue?

What was it like being a writer in your early 20’s? Not established, with no idea you were going to make it. How did you press on? How did you stay happy?

I didn't have an alternative.

You know who they did the dirtiest in Arcane? Apart from Vander that is.

The answer is Mel. My baby girl lost her two boyfriends and I'm tired of pretending like I'm okay about it.

She gave everything to their dream.

"She wanted to use them." YES! At first! At first she thought they were a great investment. Then she came to love them with more sincerity and more care than many other relationships in the show. Sure some of the toxic things she'd learnt from her home tended to seep into the relationship, but she did everything she could to prune that away.

She loved them. She poured everything into their dream. Everything into helping Jayce get rid of Heimerdinger when he wanted to ban the research that could help Viktor, everything to help them both vote for peace and make the council decision unanimous. Everything to get back to them, after getting kidnapped! 🥺 After going through every version of hell, she immediately gravitated to where she would find them, 😭 find the only loves that had ever accepted her without necessarily demanding anything in return.

And Riot just took that away. And I'm tired of acting like I'm okay with it.

I'm tired of everyone saying Mel deserves better than Jayce and Viktor, tired of people shipping her with people she's never met (especially when the aim is just to give her someone who is not Jayce or Viktor), I'm tired of the strong independent black woman stereotype following Mel around when it's the LAST thing that she wants when she only just learnt to be soft with Jayce and open with her heart once again. I am tired of people calling her a manipulator as if her character arc ended there, as if she did not unlearn toxic love and traded it for the gentle bond she then had with her two favourite scientists.

I'm tired of people not acknowledging that she had to leave Piltover, not just because the Medarda family needed her, but also because her boys were gone. The family she had finally made for herself, the family she was willing to abandon her family name for. They're gone and I don't think Riot will ever be kind enough to give them back to her.

Everyone else, even Ekko sort of has a family to fall back to. Mel has successfully lost everyone. The fact that Lest is the closest person to Mel left says way too much about how awful this whole situation is.

And I am TIRED, I am so sick and TIRED, of people acting like she did not love Jayce and Viktor. I am so sick and tired of people acting like Jayce did not love her. It probably hurt him too to leave her behind.

The tragedy of them is that Jayce knew Mel still had the chance to refind her feet, but Viktor had only ever had Jayce, and Jayce would NEVER leave Viktor alone. And it hurts that Mel probably wished she could have gone with them, because now she has to start everything from scratch and barely anyone in the fandom acknowledges that side of her pain and I HATE IT!

(Jayce might have been created for Viktor in League Lore, but Mel was created for Jayce. 🥺😭 Mel was created to love Jayce and they took her baby away.) #HappyHare(Mel)WhereHaveYouBuriedAllYourChildren?TellMeSoISay😭

Eurylochus: how the fuck are you king?

Odysseus, who needs to get all his dramatics out before going back to being responsible: didn't you hear i stole it from my dad

Eurylochus: nevermind I'm just going to kill you

Odysseus: I mean you can try ONE of us is being trained by the goddess of war
