I just recently started following you so i don't have the full lore of your murderous gay religiously traumatized doggos, BUT, from my understanding, they are Italian and i don't know what part of Italy they are from, yet i can't help headcanoning Vasco as Tuscan, while Machete is probably from some part of Veneto. And as an Italian who has heard Tuscans and Veneto dialet, well it's an hilarious mental image.

Vasco is indeed Tuscan, Florentine to be specific. He comes from a wealthy and influential noble family that has lived in Florence for centuries. He's proud of his roots, and it's usually easy for strangers to tell where he's from. He's a resonably successful politician and has worked as an ambassador and representative of Florence on numerous occasions.

Machete is originally Sicilian (ironically about as far from Veneto as possible), although he was taken to mainland at young age and has lived in several places since then, before ending up in Rome. The way I see it, he exhibits very little local color, his demeanor and (even though Italian hadn't become a standardized language yet) way of speaking are formal, neutral and scarcely give away any hints about his personal history, at least in the 16th century canon.

#I tend to take the easy way out with the various Italian dialects/languages and temper their effect on how the dog world works #even though to my understanding in reality they differ drastically from each other even today and they aren't always mutually intelligible #especially when you compare northern and southern ones #I know at least Sicilian is so different from modern day Italian it's considered a separate language entirely #it isn't the only one but I'm not a linguist and not even Italian so I'm not really qualified to be explaining any of this to you #main point is that my dogs are well traveled educated and adaptable so I'd like to believe that they manage #otherwise making this whole scenario work would become very complicated #language barriers aplenty #Machete is a fast learner with a natural knack for languages so he absorbs/decodes new ones easily #and I can see him acting as an interpreter if necessary #which is a valuable trait for someone working as the secretary of state I'd imagine #a lot of people he ends up dealing with speak at least passable Latin so at a pinch they might perhaps try switching to that?#Vasco might have a Tuscan flavor but Machete is more of a blank slate (at least in public and at work)#answered #fallenoftheromaempire #feel free to correct me if I've gotten something wrong I'm not an expert and this stuff is complicated for an outsider

It has been one of those times where switching attention is especially hard and once again I am very grateful for The Phone. The Phone contains Activities that are not subject to completion and therefore do not trap me like a book or project traps me. Being able to do something that is engaging but doesn't pull me into deep focus is a great relief at the moment.

#autie blogging #i have often felt that smartphones just don't degrade my ability to focus like a lot of people feel it does to them #but today i wonder if it DOES... and that's their benefit for me #because one of the more challenging aspects of autism for me #is the fact that i cannot regulate my focus #and can easily get to a point where i just spend all day doing one thing even if i don't want to #phone offers a breakup point. if I'm checking my phone i can get up and go to the BATHROOM #switching back to the task is then harder of course but it's sort of worth it

Set in vague early season five, sometime between Redux and Patient X. . Mulder chases a case across the world to a secret Russian facility in Chechnya, and right into the hands of Alex Krycek. Krycek has problems of his own, but believes his interests and Mulder's might be aligned. When disaster strikes, they have to rely on each other to survive.

#so uh #its possible that I got reobsessed with one of my very first ever baby pairings #and my hand slipped #i have no idea if there is really any fandom around them these days #but i'm throwing it out here just in case folks are interested #heads up I would say that I have a ... maybe slightly more Mulder critical view than is typical #it was interesting to rewatch the x files coming off black sails #also I am and always have been a massive Krycek apologist but no surprises there #anyway Mulder falls into Krycek's lap and Krycek can't even have fun about it #and eventually they go on an awful survival road trip through the first Chechen war #is this because I feel like making a point about Russian imperialism right now?#PERHAPS #anyway pirate friends I'm not switching fandoms i'm taking a detour #but try it you might like it there is really a lot here for you #amputation trauma and scrappy survivalist paired with arrogant idealist #the x files #x files fanfic #fox mulder #alex krycek #mulder/krycek #my writing

All the DA2 romances alsmost feel a bit unfullfilling to me, are there many others that prefer Hawke single with the subtext of an unspoken Varric thing?

#Ive romanced everyone save sebastian #with isabela being my first and i think fenris my last #i think all of them are good in a way where it has you knowing the chracters better and getting some really deep sides of them #but i never felt them as too romantic so many of those scene could have been platonic? Like sure theres sex but tbh hawke could just fuck #idk i think i might like anders the most just because of the heavy emotion involved and plot relevance #however nothing feels like it fits perfectly with hawke #fenris was the one that surprised me the most with how much it changed my perception of him i guess because he softens up more with romance #I switch out my saved worlds a lot with da2 whilst dao is mostly on zevran rarely leliana and dai is mostly cullen #I was soooo dissapointed when i played dao and couldnt romance sten lmao i for some reason wanted to get with felix my first dai playthroug #da2 has some of my favourite npcs in the whole franchise but the core group never made me feel to heavily on wanting romance #might have to replay to remember stuff #not a bad thing just a thing which is unfortuate because you get less content when ou dont pick a romance.

what is it about avenday that makes me snap and go crazy with my art i wonder

#ive drawn way more in volume in the 10 months ive known them #than i have for FOUR YEARS btw 😭😭😭😭😭#four years of SWITCHING FANDOMS AND SHIPS TOO...#one of which is genshin #scratches head like. the closest to this ship wise is thomato #that ive drawn for an extended period #maybe like a year? on and off? bc sumeru distracted me and we got no content of them for a while so ofc #but no i dont think its the content/lack thereof that is a factor......#bc avenday have only met a few times i will say... and sometimes having a lot of screentime has the opposite effect too #where i feel 'satisfied' with the ship in game and in fanworks (see: kavetham+shuake)#i think its a bunch of factors actually....#for example 1) their designs are both smth fun to learn and i like both equally. uncomplicated or at least easy to pinpoint?#for aforementioned thomato i wish Thoma wore something else at times :3 ayato was always the prettier of the two but all good yknow #and 2) not having to switch voiceovers for avenday to parse them helps #i like aven and sunday's voices in ALL languages. i will never tire of hearing them. over and over.#using thomato as an example again. i constantly have to switch to JP to listen to Ayato bc i dislike his EN voice lowkey ahhhghh 😭#and this coming from a guy who loves dimitri EN voice is crazey i know.. i just think the directing for genshin studio is shit sometimes bc #i KNOW chris hackney can do way better. and he has the range. Dimitri is his best performance and i like him in persona and as Boey sov 😭#so yeah theres that #im in a yapping mood tonight so i'll stop here #but basically #avenday is peak and i dont know why 😭 compared to the other stuff ive shipped before it baffles me how #the obscure HOYO GAME ship is what got me 😭😭😭#like i didnt even play HSR when i started drawing them 😭 its that good 😭 i only started playing in June #ahdjhrhs its just so funny to me. what the hell avenday #well :3 im happy bc i have found something that cured my art block and turned me into a consistent artist.#it rly is just 'find something that turns you into a pervert' bc yeah i am one. for avenday #my fave freaks...#on god one day we'll get u out of hoyo game or fandom guys... aventurine and sunday are too good of characters sometimes to be caught up #in it

Some mild existential dread in the house today

#im just feeling reeeeally really drained #works taking a LOT out of me #like. it feels less intense day to day? or maybe im reacting less? but its still very much piling up #and im just feeling very...idk. like im still waiting for permission to live my life #except now the permission osnt coming from any one person its. having the money to docit #and the time and the energy #and i guess thats just what adult life is? waiting #and hoping #and along the way losing sight of what i even wanted in the first place because im so *tired*#idk. i definitely need a project of some kind but im struggling to settle on something and then organise it #i have stuff to do today anyway. alfie had a lil bit of emergency cash saved so i need to go shopping #and i need to tidy the kitchen and do some dishes #and have a bath and shave at some point #i also want to draw but again. struggling ti pick something and idk if ill have the executive function spare #AND i want to try and be more social and talk to folks but thats its own kind of difficult #part of me would like a disc server that just has all of my friends in it bc i find it easier to dip in and out of conversarions #but i imagine that would be weird for folks who dont know each other #idk. lot goin through my mind when all i really want is sleep #which also hasnt been...greeeeat lately #mainly because Alfie wakes me up in the mornings bc they dont like being alone but also have a very different sleep schedule to me #and can take multiple smaller naps over a day whereas i really need a solid 8 or so hours or i just. dont fully switch on #but theyre also struggling atm (mentally and also they got an injury at work AND seperately broke their foot ffs)#so they need me more and its just #this never ending cycle of SOMETHING needs my attention #and its fucking exhausting asfghfkd #but!!! we keep goin!!!!! been applying for a bunch of jobs and havent heard anything positive yet but. we keep tryin huh

Soooo what are y’all’s hcs on the Tweak family 🤔🤔🤔

#lowkey I like to hc it as a generational trauma type of thing for Mr Tweak #I feel like Richard was a LOT like Tweek when he was little #very anxious and unsure of himself #he mentions in the gnomes episode I believe that his business has been going on 30 years #and was passed down to him by his father by his father before him #growing up I think that he too was given a lot of this coffee by his father #and over the years he was conditioned and manipulated into accepting this as the norm #in hopes that he would one day take over the business #when he was finally old enough his father shared the family recipe with him and at that point he had pretty much been brainwashed #I think he sees a lot of his younger self in tweek which is why he’s so condescending towards him and so determined to steer him down the #same path. Repeating the cycle and all that #and when Tweek is old enough he plans on sharing the family’s secret as his father did with him #MRS Tweak on the other hand is an interesting one #we know so little about her but I feel like her personality also says a lot about her #she’s definitely better than Mr Tweak but she’s still very complacent and neglectful #I think what stands out to me the most about her though is the way her personality can completely switch up at times #most of the time she has this eerily calm almost docile personality #but other times she’s a LOT more attentive and caring #yk like a normal mom #COMPLETELY different from how she usually acts #but the episode that gets me the most is “Gnomes #where she actively goes against Richard’s attempt to manipulate the kids and use them for business ventures #yet this is the same mom that actively poisons her son? presumably for the business??#like it doesn’t make sense to me #I’ve seen someone suggest that Richard has been drugging her too #and BOY would that be a twist #definitely would explain the sudden shift in personality #i definitely think it would be interesting if she was in the dark about a lot of this too #not using this as an excuse as I still do think she is SOMEWHAT negligent on her own but I do think it could explain some things #south park

The Gender Crisis™ is still Gender Crisising™ but I don't have time for that right now lmao.

#my ramblings #considering genderfluid to be honest but i also still don't know if i want to label it lol #it's hard because i literally cannot pinpoint it and sometimes i get overwhelming feelings that switch so often that they confuse me so idk #like i fully don't know if i don't feel gender at all and am sometimes attatched to presenting myself different ways void of gender #or if i only don't feel gender sometimes and the other times i do feel gender #lol idk #to be honest sometimes i do feel a strong pull to different genders and then the next day i'm repulsed by the thought of it #and then two weeks later i'm back in the fucking building and then i'm like oh okay #and it's becoming a pattern now so i could very well be genderfluid lmaoooo #but i still don't knowwwww #because i still feel very agender a lot of the time #and then sometimes i'm like no wtf i'm a woman #and then other times i'm like no wtf i am not a woman #and then sometimes i'm like what if i woke up as a guy tomorrow huh wouldn't that be so great actually #and then three hours later i'm like no wtf i am not a guy #and then sometimes i'm like oh well i'm certainly a gender #yep #don't know which one though #and then i'm like nah i'm just a woman #and the cycle continues #bro if i am genderfluid i switch so often that it's honestly annoying but also kind of funny #anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk

wait finally watching the secret circle (2011) because i read the books last month and i'm sorry but brian kinney is in this. gale harold is here and he's doing fire magic to kill cassie's mom. who does not die in the books but dies less than 2 minutes into this pilot

#the secret circle #in the craziest turn of events almost all changes made to the show from the books are good #i do think the circle is lacking in members #but having 12 in the book was a lot to juggle. but more than the like 5 people we've met would also be good #and cassie and adam not having that one moment separate from the town (which should also still be new salem!) is a miss #not knowing that her mystery guy and diana's adam are the same guy is a justification for her lingering feelings. here she knows within day #no rose gemstone.... no silver cord?#the switch ups w the parents overall are good though.#also nick's vibes are off. what did they do to my special boy #but genuinely most of the changes are good

Hey chief, I read your tags and I'm gonna need you to start doing wrist stretches regularly. You sound like you need it... And probably a wrist brace. Depending on the brand of wrist pain, you can try applying heat or cold to it to soothe it also. ❤ Please stay healthy and treat your body kindly!

ohhh yeah I'm just complaining orz but I've been having wrist/arm related pain since I was 18 and even went to physical therapy before... but in the past 2? ish? yrs it has gotten a lot better than before! I used to grt flareups that would last weeks or even months... But now my flareups usu last a few days or a week at most. And the pivotal factor that started thjs improvement is because I started doing some light weight lifting every other day (wish I was disciplined enough to get Buff... but I think of this as like. recharging my drawing stamina and usu draw the day of or day after)

tysm for ur concern!! I do know to do wrist stretches (sometimes I don't bc of hyperfocusing tho🫠 and end up not taking breaks and overdoing it... which is my problem... )

#But I think doing the exercises helped me lot more than the brace did #i did try that before #only strength exercises helped noticeably #if i didnt start doing that #youd see me posting only like #once every 2 months #instead of almost every other day kdjfj #ask #o yea it was so bad tho #i suffered throughout my entire college yrs #had to get disability accommodation (it wasnt much just to ensure i could use my laptop to type n stuff)#and i p much stopped drawing and writing w a pen #like i switched to typing to take notes #and for the past 2 yrs ive drawn almost 100% on phone #did u guys know the reason thats why i switched to phone dkfjs #i think i forgot to mention that recently #but thats why... not just out of convenience or to be quirky XD its bc it feels less strenuous than pen(ie paper/tablet/ipad)#tho it does make my hand/fingers cramp up if im not carefulll #like now :(#pain pls go away soon

hm. all knowing tumblr mutuals give me your advice

i ended up staying home from my away games this weekend because i got sick right before we left and my coach didn't want me to be miserable on a bus for six hours for like. half an hour of playtime.

however. my mom just noticed my phone has not left my room in the past 48 hours and thinks i just left it in my dorm. i do not want to tell her i got sick because she will be sad and worried (context: I Do Not Get Sick Ever) but i also know i have to tell her eventually because she'll be wondering why on earth im not playing this weekend

so

#im leaning towards saying “whoopsie me forgot my phone again” (ive done it before)#and then saying tomorrow morning that i caught a fever at night and wont play that day out of caution #but then also there are still holes in this bc coach switched the goalie rotation and she might realize that it was bc i am not there #but also. the horrors of people worrying about you </3 #im a lot better now just a hint dizzy if i stand up for too long #raugh sorry i know im overthinking this but at the same time i feel so guilty #i know it was the right move to stay back but still :((((((( sad #coach literally told me to i called her at like 6am the day of like “i do not want to drive to the rink” “aura stay home it is not worth it

You should play tf2 more

i've been playing a lot of it as of late actually, mostly been trying to practice playing pyro better, though i just don't really talk about it. really been trying to master the detonator.

my only real exposure to the game currently through playing it is just playing casual, i don't really play any community servers these days.

#ask #jabroni-apologist #my current pyro loadout is like. stock flamethrower. detonator. and... whatever melee #i dont really have a go-to choice for pyro melees like i do some other classes. i think i usually hold the axtinguisher #but i dont do comboes a lot. im up close to enemies. i dont need to hold my melee out.#otherwise i tend to lean towards the homewrecker #i do pretty well at playing pyro i think. tend to score above the middle to the top 3 at minimum on the scoreboard.#but that tends to change from match to match. sometimes i do well. other times im in the slopping mud #the main classes i switch between are: soldier. pyro. demo. heavy. engineer. sniper.#sometimes scout. very rarely spy.#pyro i tend to play a lot. heavy just beneath. i kinda wish the heavy had more stuff. or had some things rebalanced.#sniper i mostly play on attack. i dont trust myself enough on defense usually.#using either the sydney sleeper or huntsman. combined with jarate and the shahanshah #i dont use the bushwhacka cause i dont like holding weapons that give me damage vuln. even if its just when held out.#medic i tend to do really well as. heavy i do okay. engineer ranges depending on what playstyle i pick.#demoman i dont pick as much these days. though i still love the loose cannon.#i think i just lean towards other classes since ik id do better with them than demo.#also the constant ammount of sticky demos i encounter kinda puts me off to playing demo i feel.#soldier i always love playing but always feel like i should be playing pyro instead #the only gamemodes i play are mostly A/D ones. though i also have 5cp enabled. and ctf well.#i cant really stand playing KOTH these days. maybe its the map size with 24 players. i always feel like im dying more on KOTH #i have been playing a little less as of late because my headphones snapped in one spot #had to use a lot of tape to attempt fixing it. its very loose. idk how to make it better though.#its kinda put me in a sour mood dealing with but its not fully broken.#its a cheap brand i got from walmart thats got a skull on it. if it werent for the cheap plastic id say the headphones are pretty good #anyway. tf2s fine if you can manage to ignore the shitty people who play. and theres a lot. too many really.#ive mostly been playing to max out my item find limit. and leveling up my casual medal. which doesnt impact anything.#anyway thank you for the ask. sorry i dont talk about tf2 enough. i just dont have much to say about it.
