Incorrect quotes

Instead of focusing on one fandom, I decided to do them with ALL my current romantic F/Os! Get ready for chaos

Wheatley: I found a note in one of my old word .docs that said Note to self: Get revenge on Cheval. Wheatley: Except I couldn't remember what I was supposed to get revenge for. Wheatley: But I trusted my own judgment, so I went with it. Cheval: Hmm… I don't know what you were supposed to get revenge for, either. Wheatley: I can only assume you got what was coming to you. Not 100 percent sure, though. Cheval: Well, whatever I did, I guess I deserved it. Wheatley: Let that possibly be a lesson to you.

Wheatley: We wouldn’t last two minutes without Ian. Wheatley: Wheatley: Don’t tell them I said that.

Ian, watching Cheval and Siren fight: Are you sure they should be fighting? What if they get hurt? Rex, not bothered by the chaos: It’s fine. They’re too evenly matched to hurt each other. Ian: Then… who’s the strongest out of you three? Cheval: Rex. Siren: Rex. Rex: Me.

Wheatley: What's this? Siren, hugging Wheatley: Affection! Wheatley: Disgusting. Wheatley: …Do it again.

Cheval: If you got arrested what would be the charges? Wheatley: Theft. Bede: Disturbing the peace. Ian: Aggravated assault. Rex: Arson. Siren: All of the above. In that order, probably.

Bede: Who else is hiding in the laundry room trying to listen to Ian and Siren's convo? Wheatley: Me. I'm in the laundry basket. Rex: I'm in the washing machine. Cheval: I'm in the closet. Wheatley: We accept you Cheval. <3 Cheval: No I'm literally in the closet. Wheatley: Love is love. <3

The Squad is playing Chess Siren: easily beats everyone because they know how to play Ian: doesn’t know the rules, but wins anyway Cheval: doesn’t know the rules, and loses Rex: knows the rules, but still loses to those who don’t Bede: Actually, you can’t do that, because I said so. Wheatley: They named a board game after cheese?

Siren: Throw lamps at people who need to lighten up, and throw handles at someone who needs to get a grip! Cheval: Throw a refrigerator at someone who needs to chill! Wheatley: Throw scissors at someone who needs to cut it out! Bede: Throw a clock at someone who needs to get with the times! Ian: Throw matches at someone who needs to get fired up! Rex: Throw a brick at someone to kill them.

The Entertainment’s Here: What hobbies do you share with f/o? And what hobbies do you have that they dislike and vice versa?

Finale (Can’t Wait To See What You Do Next): Give a random headcanon about your selfship.

for hmm... either you and Rook, or you and Clavis?

Clove it is (Clavis x Dove)

The Entertainment’s Here: What hobbies do you share with f/o? And what hobbies do you have that they dislike and vice versa?

Me, Clavis; *both disliking Cheval and annoying him to no ends*

We're both pretty creative, so I can see us enabling each other to a certain extent.

Main thing is that I don't want him being on Sariel's hanging list so *hopes he doesn't get into much trouble*

I can't really see him disliking my hobbies, might think they can be boring, but not outright hating them.

Finale (Can’t Wait To See What You Do Next): Give a random headcanon about your selfship.

We definitely have those touch bracelet thingies, and Clavis will continuously press hiss until I respond back.

We also wrote each other's names in our contacts and aren't allowed to change them ourselves.

"💜✨My Darling Prince, Keeper of My Heart✨💜"

"Dove"

Clavis also very proudly shows off his wedding (it's actually a promise ring) to his siblings as a way to flex.

I have this weird habit of never finishing to learn something. I've tried learning Japanese, Chinese, Wingdings, Morse Code, French, and Minecraft Enchanting Table. Here's all I can remember:

Japanese is a timed language where all the syllables have the same length of time. I know the kana for "chi", "a", "ho", and "n". Nana means 7. Arigato means "thank you". Yomu means "read".

Chinese has four different tones. When writing the symbols, start from left to right then up to down.

F is 👈. G is 👉. J is a frowning face😣. N is a mailbox 📫.

' is an e. - is a t. ' ' ' ' is h. ' ' ' is o. --- is s. Three ticks of silence between each letter and 7 ticks between each word

Pomme is apple. Homme is men. Femme is women. Garçon is boy. Fille is girl. La is female the. Le is male the. Chat is a male cat. Chatte is a female cat. Noir means black. Rougue means red. Robe means dress. Menu is menu. Orange is orange. Cheval is horse. Un is a. Une is an. Et is have. Je suis means I. Mange means eat. Je suis et un pomme rougue means I have a red apple.

Not a thing.

Edit: I have fully learned Galactic Basic Standard.

[atlaswingsofruin]

Thats what we exactly need, my mother & father keeps acting like its something bad that some movies make me feel something negative or that i hate watching movies in general & told me that telling a friend i feel uncomfortable with a movie makes me a bad friend which causes me to actually believe that makes me a bad friend & i constantly apologize for every tiny thing just to not be a shitty friend, but having someone who tell me that it doesn’t make me a shitty friend is actually pretty comforting, my F/O (Cheval from mhst) would definitely be that kind of person to comfort me!

hey. if any movie makes you feel unsafe, emotionally triggered, anything, your f/o is turning it off immediately and wrapping you in a tight hug. You’re not stuck in your head alone, you have them. You’re not in that bad space anymore. You’re safe.

Info about my account & me:

Asks: you can send asks in my ask box, honestly send whatever you want as long as its not harmful against someone, but heres a list of asks about me & my OCs:

You can now ask ANY character in every fantasy lore i have, this includes:

AUs (alternative universes of fandoms)

The Mifkada lore’s characters

The SVD lore characters

Me myself (like, questions directly to me rather than an OC, like “what motivated you to start animating” or “what was your first OC?” And all that questions, in short questions about origins & things that gets you curious, but note i might not reveal anything)

Literally any lore i have

Fanfic requests:

You can also ask me to write a fanfic for you, currently only monster hunter stories but it might change later, theres a post explaining about the fanfic requests in my blog.

My backstory:

When i was younger, like, a kid in elementary school, i was pretty dumb, but not too dumb, there were some people who hurt me, my parents ignored me as if i can deal with my problems properly and as if im smart enough for it without a bit of guidance, i also had no rights, i was trans but nobody respected that, so i decided to make it my job to solve my problems, i thought that im the only one who could be trusted in this world, which means i did everything i pleased thinking it was the right thing, but mostly it wasn’t, i also hated all humans, thinking every human is evil, but then in 2022, i started homeschooling for a year, there, i learnt that not all humans are bad like the ones i saw before and that theres still good people out there, i slowly started to like humans more & started putting more trust in people (before i just hated everyone & didn’t trust anyone at all), in 2023, my mother sent me to a special education school thinking its the best for me, there in that school there was a teacher who hated me from first sight, and i think its because i was the only smart person in a place of morons and because i was very different, this school only fits for dumb people, and the teachers likes to have control over everyone, but i never let them control me, so they hated me for this, they treated me with cruelty & they gave me an unfair & unequal treatment, everyone watched this unfold and just did nothing, i also had a “friend” who was only my friend because my parents were rich & he took advantage of me & used me to buy stuff for himself with my parents’s money, but i knew that this is not how all people behave, theres more people out there that are good, and then in 2024 i had enough of this jail and i asked my mother to find me a better school, then she found a good school that is not owned by the education system, i joined the school and the people there accept me as who i am and im not a bullying victim anymore, i can be who i am, and im glad i learnt to not this generalization & not judge the entire society based on some people.

How my backstory relates to my self-shipping side of me?:

As i mentioned somewhere, Cheval is my F/O, and thats because i really love Chevie, but why do i love him? First, im a gentle soul, i see a person with sad backstory i immediately empathize with them, second, we both did a mistake, we both hated an entire species based off 1 person/monster, we both had no guidance, we both learnt the hard way, we both try to fix our mistakes, and we both try to pass the message of what not to do, who wouldn’t want a F/O that has the same knowledge as you?

What i post:

Here i post art, mostly drawings & animations, my animations most of the times are PMVs, i mostly post art related to my fantasy stories, but i might post vent art sometimes (since im not a happy person), i also have this little corner of me rambling about stuff, i also rarely do art of some fandoms (like a fanart of rocket from GotG 3 that isn’t an AU and just following the canon), i also write stories whenever i feel like it.

What are my interests:

I am an artist, i like art, i am a storywriter, means i like to write stories, sometimes AUs and sometimes original ones, i like animals, i like creating original species (like the species of my fursona, a Skyrim, i made him), i like gaming, mostly monster taming games, i like good stories as well, i like monster hunter stories, i like pokemon, i like pokemon uranium & xenoverse, i like beastie ball, i like monster hunter in general (but never played non-stories games), i like Minecraft, i love to roleplay but never tried roleplaying in tumblr and i am not very good at it, i like super cat tales, i like original web series of youtubers (like Lions light, or even comics like The Entity by Viostarkiller), i like horse riding, i do it in real life but only the simple one, i like nature.

Things about me:

Im autistic, im trans, my pronouns are he/him, i view myself as a Skyrim (my fursona’s species) and i don’t feel like a human, i like to swear & might get vulgar sometimes, im pretty lazy (and not by choice, its a problem i apparently have and it bothers me), i love to help, i am a self-shipper, my F/O is Cheval from monster hunter stories.

Rules on my tumblr blog:

Hate speech is disallowed, this includes Homophobia, transphobia, anti-furries, racism and all that.

Politics is disallowed, i myself am tired of this politics, specially because of the Israel & Gaza war, and i want the internet to be a place where i can feel safe & free from my problems & political problems, and because i bet some also find it a hard topic for them.

No harassment is allowed.

NSFWs & s3xual stuff is disallowed, im a minor and my parents will kill me if they even spot a glimpse of it.

Zoophilia & p3dophilia is also disallowed, specially Zoophilia.

Please do not trace my art (even though i doubt someone wants my art as its very lazy lol).

If you don’t like the rules feel free to just ignore my account & just don’t interact with me

DIFFERENTES FAÇONS DE DONNER DE LA VOIX

Aujourd’hui, revenons sur un aspect plus technique de la parole : nous avions déjà vu les bases de l’Alphabet Phonétique International, mais il existe des différences que nous n’avions pas pu aborder dans l’article en question. Nous savons former des consonnes, des voyelles, mais y a-t-il d’autres moyens de les produire ?

Les mots « consonne » et « voyelle » reflètent tous deux un aspect de phonation, puisque « voyelle » vient de l’ancien français voieul de même sens, issu du latin vocalis « vocal, qui fait entendre un son », dérivé du mot vox « voix » ; le mot « consonne » quant à lui provient du latin consona « qui sonne avec » et est un emprunt (un mot directement pris d’une autre langue) du XVIe siècle, composé de con- ou cum- « avec » et sona « son », à rapprocher du grec συμφωνία sumphônía « accord, ensemble de sons », qui a donné le mot français « symphonie ».

Aussi, je tiens à faire un léger erratum : contrairement à ce que j’avais dit dans l’article sur l’API, une voyelle arrondie n’est pas définie que par un arrondissement des lèvres, mais également de la langue dans la cavité buccale (et de même une voyelle non-arrondie est définie par un aplatissement de la langue dans la bouche) ; l’arrondissement ou non des lèvres n’en est donc pas l’unique cause, et pourrait être vu comme en étant une conséquence.

Jusqu’alors, j’avais uniquement évoqué le cas des voyelles orales, celles pour lesquelles l’air passe seulement par la bouche. Cependant il existe d’autres types de voyelles, comme les voyelles nasales dont la production résulte d’un passage simultané de l’air dans le canal buccal et la cavité nasale. Comparez à cet effet « pâte » et « pente », qui à l’exception de la nasalisation se prononcent de la même manière : /pɑt/ pour le premier et /pɑ̃t/ pour le second. Le caractère nasal d’une voyelle se représente dans l’API par un tilde au-dessus de la voyelle.

On dit souvent que les voyelles nasales sont présentes dans une minorité de langues du monde, mais en vérité toute langue possédant des consonnes nasale a à faire à une nasalisation (au moins légère) des voyelles précédentes. Mais dans ce cas, pourquoi les anglais ont-ils autant de mal à prononcer les voyelles nasales du français ? En fait, le problème n’est pas tant de posséder ou non des voyelles nasales dans sa langue, mais de faire une distinction phonologique entre la voyelle orale et la voyelle nasale : dans le cas de l’anglais, la nasalisation est un procédé naturel et automatique, mais les voyelles orales et nasales correspondantes ne sont pas considérées comme différentes (plutôt comme deux réalisations proche du même son) ; en français et dans une minorité d’autres langues (incluant le polonais, le portugais et le breton notamment), la voyelle nasale ne sera pas considérée comme une variation de la voyelle orale, mais comme une autre voyelle à part entière.

Si l’on parle ensuite de la phonation des voyelles, c’est-à-dire du type de voix que l’on va utiliser pour les produire, on distingue trois grands types : la voix modale, la voix craquée et la voix soufflée. Pour l’instant, j’ai uniquement parlé de voix modale, sans vraiment la définir. Il s’agit du mode de phonation où les cordes vocales vont vibrer selon un cycle dans lequel elles seront ouvertes la moitié du temps et fermées l’autre moitié du temps. Pour la voix craquée (aussi appelée laryngalisation) le larynx se resserre et comprime les cordes vocales, entraînant un cycle dans lequel les cordes vocales restent plus longtemps fermées qu’ouvertes : la voix est alors plus grave, et on perçoit aisément les vibrations individuelles des cordes vocales. La voix soufflée (également appelée murmure) produit au contraire un cycle où les cordes vocales sont plus longtemps ouvertes que fermées, laissant passer plus d’air et faisant à peine vibrer les cordes vocales. Une voyelle laryngalisée est notée par un tilde en-dessous de la voyelle (par exemple [o̰]) tandis qu’une voyelle murmurée est notée par un tréma en-dessous de la voyelle (par exemple [e̤]). Comme pour les voyelles nasales, il existe peu de langues faisant une distinction phonologique entre voix modale, voix craquée et voix soufflée : un exemple serait le mazatèque de Jalapa, parlé au Mexique et qui compte cinq voyelles ([i], [æ], [a], [o] et [u]), mais surtout six différentes réalisations pour chaque, orale modale, orale craquée, orale soufflée, nasale modale, nasale craquée et nasale soufflée.

Concernant les consonnes, nous avions défini le caractère sonore (ou voisé) comme étant une vibration des cordes vocales lors de la production de la consonne (comme pour [v]) et le caractère sourd (ou non-voisé) comme étant une absence de vibration des cordes vocales (comme pour [f]). Même si c’est effectivement vrai, on peut également distinguer les paires sonore/sourde à l’aide de deux autres techniques : le VOT et la différentiation fortis/lenis.

Le VOT pour Voice Onset Time en anglais (que l’on pourrait traduire par « Durée d’Établissement du Voisement ») compare le temps qu’il faut à la vibration des cordes vocales pour revenir suite à son interruption et au relâchement d’une consonne (ici, des occlusives) : pour les consonnes sourdes, la durée est souvent inférieure à 30 ms et toujours imperceptible, et on dira alors que ces consonnes ont un VOT nul (on parle alors de tenuis pour ces consonnes) ; pour les consonnes sonores, la vibration des cordes vocales revient pendant l’occlusion et avant le relâchement, provoquant un VOT négatif ; il existe cependant un autre cas possible, celui où la vibration revient après un temps perceptible (plus de 60 ms en général, mais les durées sont variables en fonction des occlusives et des langues) et où le VOT est alors positif, et dans ce cas on parle de consonne (sourde) aspirée.

Le français ne possède pas de consonne aspirée et n’a donc que des consonnes avec VOT0 ou VOT-, mais l’anglais possède une telle distinction : le son /p/ dans spy /spaɪ/ correspond à un VOT0, tandis que celui de pie /pʰaɪ/ possède un VOT+ (et pour comparaison, buy /baɪ/ a lui un VOT-). Pourtant en anglais, /pʰ/ et /p/ sont considérés comme des réalisations de la même consonne, s’opposant à /b/, alors qu’en mandarin, /b/ et /p/ sont considérés comme étant la même consonne s’opposant à /pʰ/. La perception de ce qui fait qu’une consonne est différente et constitue bien une consonne à part entière est donc variable en fonction des langues.

La distinction fortis/lenis (du latin pour « fort » et « faible ») a été originellement utilisée pour faire une différentiation dans la force et la tension avec lesquelles sont prononcées les consonnes. Comparativement au VOT, plus une consonne tend vers un VOT+, plus elle relève du fortis et au contraire, plus elle tend vers un VOT-, plus elle relève d’un lenis. Cette distinction a été tout d’abord pensée pour les langues faisant leurs distinctions entre consonnes sur d’autres bases que le voisement, et peut expliquer pourquoi nous réussissons tout de même à faire la différence entre une consonne sonore et une consonne sourde même lorsque l’on parle en voix soufflée.

Les consonnes pourront cependant se voiser ou se dévoiser en fonction de leur place dans le mot : ainsi, si la plupart des langues voient un dévoisement des consonnes finales (allemand Tag /taːk/ ou Hund /hʊnt/, russe кровь krov /krɔfʲ/…), l’anglais procède plutôt à un voisement de ces dernières. On peut également noter qu’une consonne sonore et une consonne sourde ne peuvent cohabiter : dans le cas d’une affrication, l’une des consonnes va changer de phonation pour que les deux consonnes soient toutes les deux soit sourdes, soit sonores : par exemple absent est prononcé /apsɑ̃/, par assimilation antérograde du /b/ sonore en /p/ sourde, ou cheval peut être prononcé /ʃfal/ par assimilation prograde du /v/ sonore en /f/ sourde. De quoi donner encore beaucoup de manière d’articuler nos mots…
