I crave for Dark angst please 🙏

I think the fact that TDL most likely still have his code to destroy TCO still active until now is rather underutilised by the fandom. I like to think TDL has a constant struggle to keep himself from killing TCO due to his code and he chooses to redirect his violent desires to others instead

You can now, finally, ask questions to the man himself. If he understands them is .... not yet known.

Tsams has had an impeccable theme with cycles tbh..... of showing characters doing the things someone else did to them or that they have been doing since day 1. Showing characters getting stuck in the same situations over and over because of their own internal spiral. It's been here since the beginning of the show and it thrills me <3

This is on my mind partly because of my previous reblog with quotes from the Aubrey-Marurin novels, but I've been meaning to post it for some time. I strongly recommend this article to anyone interested in the 18th century, particularly in regards to language, or if you are involved in living history:

"You Say Huzzah! They Said Huzzay!" by Norman Fuss at the Journal of the American Revolution

Basically it argues - credibly, in my opinion - that the predominant pronunciation of the word in the English speaking world was with a hard "ay" sound.

As he points out in the article, it is nearly unilaterally spelled simply "huzza" in the period, in both formal and informal writing. Which can technically be read multiple ways, but I think his evidence is clear.

There's some scholarly debate in the comments, including at least one instance of a poem that seems more likely to be rhyming it more with an "aw" sound, so it's possible it wasn't universal, and there are also some debates (not on the article itself) that possibly different dialects and/or people for whom English was not their first language may have been a factor. Occasionally you'll come across some weird phonetic spelling, like some New Englanders spelling it "whosais", but still, I think he makes a strong argument at least for English speakers "Huzzay" was standard.

Huzza!

„I‘m writing for pleasure“ – screams, cries and sobs editing and formatting a 26k word fic that made me completely lose my mind and gave me the most intense brain worms.
