Rice. From my plot that's literally just a game of chess. (he's a rook)
#my characters#CHESS BABIES#they actually had a tag here and i adore it bc it was in caps lock for a while#no idea why it was in caps but whatever it was thems the rules#rice has a younger sister named turnip and shes a pawn and then his coworker rook is a guy named cakes#and cakes has a huuuuuuge crush on him and doesnt think to hide it so rice just kinda puts up with it and then somehow#they meet with one of the white knights and are like well he seems mostly harmless#and since they dont attack or try to kill him he decides hes actually in love with rice as well so cakes is like oh no#im going to lose my years long crush to some foreign guy#but the white knight is just vibing cause out of the entire white army he has the least stake in it bc he was born in the land of red#so he doesnt really care but since one of his parents was a white native he got recruited kinda#look it sounds so bad to have colored nations and them being white black and red#but its chess i swear and my dad had a REALLY FUCKING NICE wooden chess set when i was a kid#and it was AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL and each piece had red felt on the bottom to about scuffing the pretty wood board#anyway thats where the neutral land idea came from - all of his pieces had SOME red on them#and now i gotta go to work for more video orientation#guys theres been so many videos in the past two days#i have no energy for art#i have so many things i wanna draw but i havent managed to actually do anything yet#i need a fuckin schedule.....

How do you think Mechi (and technically Kwahu’s?) parents would react to finding out about Kwahu? (Sorry if this has been answered before)
I think Lapu (dad) and Squashbug (mum) would be delighted with their new son. Lapu would act a bit more gruff and standoffish about it (where do you think Mechi gets it from?), but Squashbug would waste no time in catching up on all the affection she hasn't gotten to give her new baby.
I think Mechi would enjoy being able to use his "good twin" as a barrier to avoid having to actually talk to his parents. He doesn't like people, and so far, only siblings (and clones) are spared the wrath of the misanthrope trait.
Kwahu would love sitting down with his newly acquired parents to chat about all the things he knows about them from Mechi's borrowed memories. Maybe he'd introduce them to the Corrupted Obelisk, which is, for all intents and purposes, his only actual parent.
#asks#rimworld#gracie plays#art#my art#traditional art#rimworld art#unpolished art#Mechi would be all “here's the child you wanted when you had me his name's Kwahu be nice”#then leave to go read or tinker with robots or something#Yamka and Kwahu can keep Lapu and Squashbug occupied for as long as he needs#I never know if Mechi should call his mum “Mum” or “Mom”#because I'm Australian so I spell it correctly (with a 'u')#but Mechi was supposed to be Native American so#maybe he'd say “Mom” with an 'o'?#He definitely calls Lapu “father” though#they are not on great terms#mostly because of the misanthrope thing#but they love each other deep down#anyhoo#thanks for the ask!!#have a fabulous day!! xoxox

Mili from gote to handa!!! these were originally simple doodles but i had to polish it because she's my favorite from the game
#gote to handa#gote and handa#miri gote to handa#or mili.. or milli... im not sure what spelling of her name would be the go to in general fandom translation#love her range of expressions they're so funny so i drew a few here#im still not done clearing up my schedule to go back to my challenge but that dont mean i cant draw in between it :333#would love to draw her more but i have to finish my japanese drills www SOON...#goofy bonus storytime but i debated so much how to draw her prior to this because i didnt know what a junior high was#basically the translation for gote to handa i read described the characters as being in junior high#but im not familiar to english or american school customs outside of movies and such (its feels unreal compared to my culture www)#i tried looking it up but for whatever reason it brought up elementary school... and then middle school?#and i didnt know how to look it up because again im not familiar with english school systems if not superficially HDALJDKAD#so i gave up and read up on japanese school uniform usage and inferred from it that they are middle schoolers#BUT IM STILL SO CONFUSED ON WHAT THE JUNIOR HIGH IS ... i didnt know there were more terms than elementary middle and high school😭😭#in the end its not like how i drew mili is that much different from how i draw characters younger than her tbh BUT I TRY...#just a funny story of how i dont comprehend ... english... american ... school systems at all let me know what a junior high is LOL😭😭#i dont know if its an american or. general english speaking country thing thats why i mention both#is there a catchall word for english country natives in english. there sure is in spanish but would sound strange mixed in www#(i must say the difference between elementary and middle school was crucial because shes said to be in second year)#SO SECOND YEAR OF WHAT WAS. INDEED CRUCIAL because thats a big difference isnt it😭😭😭??? didn't want to draw her too big nor too small lol#and second *year* confused me the most because the term “year” is not used for students younger than what would be high school students her#so yes i was fighting for me life#drotter fights culture shock the story

Did you *really* go to college if you didn't do this at least twice a semester?
#my roommates at yonsei- which i'm still amazed Noeul is a yonsei grad- would vanish for DAYS into the library#preparing for their English exams#and like- my girls you have a native english speaker back in the dorm can I help you study#but they would BOTH do this when they finally surfaced for air#sophia- she went by her english name- and ryeong-ah; they were both my Sig#they would come back and just scream 'my bedddd' and dive onto sophia's bed#i say sophia's bed because ryeong-ah couldn't be bothered to climb onto her bunk bed#so she'd just lay quite literally on top of sophia#i have a photo it's one of my favorites because you can see that sophia is about to deliver a violent kick to her spine#love in the air#lita#rain#first semester my roommates were all older than me so i was supposed to be polite and i only ever used polite korean#i was perfectly well behaved#but that first semester in korea my roommates were horrible- all were banned from the program they were so bad#but i remember most that at midterms i was studying so hard for my religion in korean history exams that i'd be at the library until 2am#and then walk back to the dorm a mile away- and like everyone was doing that so it wasn't scary walking the mountain at night#but i'd get back and my roommates would be drunk and yelling in the dorm until 6am or so#and that was almost every night regardless#but during midterms i was so tired and so fried and my classes started at 7am so i wasn't sleeping#and i finally showed my roommates that i can say 'shut the fuck up' in korean without any accent whatsoever

Yeah, I also want to see 2 season, especially Destiny and my favorite Delirium, but I'm also curius who will play Remiel and Duma.
[i think this ask was pre-s2 announcement bc 2022 but YEAH]
i'm a HUUUUUUUUUGE duma stan you dont even KNOW
#sandman#the sandman#duma#asks#answers#continuing my trend of answering asks from 2022#anyway im on my duma sign language train#i consider duma's domain to be the *concept* of silence. like as an audio phenomenon. that doesnt mean he cant talk!!#i'm glad that in the lucifer comics they respect him and usually seem to be able to understand him without oral speech#potentially bc (per canon) he *can* mentally project what he wants people to know#but i think they missed an opportunity to actually have duma tell lucifer in *words* that he is both deeply loved And a little bitch#like creatures like lucifer know every language so????#(also. signed angel conlang anyone??? with WINGS???)#(actually i think that's impractical since it needs to be usable during flight. but having different forms is also awesome.)#lucking out on this that the sign for me too/same seems to be the same in asl & bsl#ultimately i don't think that duma should need to speak a human signed language at all -- but for clarity idk which to pick you know?#considering that this is an english-speaking comic with a british writer with a largely american audience#*probably* asl bc i am american and don't want to mix myself up but#anyway if you are a native speaker of asl. if i ever do more comics with duma and others i Will need help#i know a few asl words but i do Not have a good grasp of grammar#so please feel free to correct or suggest or dm me idk !! i really want to interact w the d/Deaf community more#always open to language critique#and i kind of would love help designing angel sign conlang. bc the concept of duma giving lucifer a name sign lives in my head forever#fwiw i'm fully on the duma/lucifer qpp train by the way. like duma has been PINING.

the overwhelming americanness of the internet and in a similar vein the growing americanification of the real world puts me personally in such a weird spot because yes it's 'don't let the internet turn you into an american' however this line of thinking can so easily turn around and feed into patriotism in that resisting americanification would mean to fall back on identifying more strongly with my home country instead which is like not an option for me as someone who's incredibly wary of any kind of nationalism (i get that this is a complex topic that requires a nuanced approach and patriotism is not inherently reactionary but if i see someone being patriotic about my home country specifically i immediately get suspicious)
#wanted to write more about this actually but i can't find a good way to continue this whatever i'll leave ur unfinished#it*#i hope you get my point though! really felt this wir speak your language day actually bc i loved seeing everyone share little facts about#their native language and list all the things they like about it but i couldn't help but feel weird when i answered those asks myself#also ik my blog name and bio is in german but that's just because that is the language i grew up with so obvs it comes more naturally to me#than english. plus i'm actually not really confident in my english skills that's why my writing sounds the way it does

I miss when we hadn't moved out of my haunted ass childhood home and my dreams were extremely vivid and I always remembered them. Now I barely dream at all and they're usually very plain and I forget them when I wake up
#every time i have a dream where im in a home its that house#the only exceptions have been two nightmares. one of which included me being hunted by a native american creature whose name i cannot say#dreaming was my favorite part of sleeping its why i love sleeping so much and ever since i stopped living there full time (when i started#at my current uni) the dreams have just stopped. its so bizarre#rainy rambles

uso-chan....... uso-san....... uso-swan.........
<- reminded of old sanuso fics they used to read and getting nostalgic
#that shit was always so cuteeee#& i didnt think about it back then but i wonder what an outsider would think of snooj calling for his bf like that#bc if you don't realize it's a name doesn't it translate to 'cute liar/Miss or Mr liar'?#oh wait no that might be usotsuki-chan instead oops#welp something to figure out when i finally take jp lessons proper#hmm. thinking thoughts.#i do miss those old fics tho. with snooj doting over his bf like one of the girls. it was so very cute#a 'what if snooj got past all his shit for his bf/after dating his bf' type of thing. which is rly nice qwq my boy needs the love#avoiding any tags bc this is just me musing aloud#considering: diff names for diff situations#not just when he puts -san instead of -chan but also times when he drops the nicknames or uses North (French) nicknames instead#that type of thing#hrmmm#would also be funny to make snooj have my fucking issue where it's like#'i want to say this thing in language A. i think about it in language B (native language). and then manage to say it in language C instead#a language which the person im speaking to doesnt know and also they are looking at me wholly confused now'#yeah that's probably gonna be in a fic at some point lmfao#anywayyyy#nemotime#<- i suppose

Okay so basically the United States MINT of all people is going to be working with DC to make a line of coins! These coins sadly won't be in circulation (the things I would do to live in a world where I could get Batman coins from the supermarket) as they're collectors coins, but will be releasing over the course of the next 3 years, 2025-2027.
Designs haven't been released yet (the same is true for all 2025 designs) but we know there will be 9 coins in total (3 each year) with the first year featuring (of course!!!) Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
Although we know the first three heroes to be featured, the remaining six have yet to be decided, and it turns out the Mint is putting out a survey on their site to gauge which of a group of culturally significant heroes people want to see most! (link to the form is mentioned in the article above)
The considered group includes: Supergirl, the Flash, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, John Stewart GL, Aquaman, Hawkman, Jamie Reyes BB, Robin (Damian?), Cyborg, and Batgirl, of which 6 will be selected.
As someone who does a bit of coin collecting myself (mainly circulation coins like the quarters sets, but I also have a couple proof and collectors coins) I think this is a really cool and interesting idea that showcases the history of the comics medium and these characters and their influence on American culture. Really excited to wait and see what the designs look like for the coins already announced!
#ABSOLUTELY INSANE TO ME#sorry just. only thing that could make this crazier is if these were circulating. i would fucking die actually lmao#i mean you could buy something with one of these legally but like youre an idiot if you do that so likeeee#someone showing up with the solid gold superman collector coin and its only legally worth a dollar lmao#not that someone would do this but future generations/archeologists finding a coin in some ruins and it just has like. batman on it#amazing to me#also just the transition from us currency having all fake people (lady liberty some random native american guy etc.) and then going to real#people and presidents then expanding that to honor people that they believe should be honored (think the harriet tubman coin set right now)#and representing beauty and innovation and culture through representation of the states#only through that lens to swing back around and have fake people on the coins again in the form of the freaking dc trinity. insane to me#no one ever gets me when im nerding out over coins its okay. at least its not postage stamps (i actually do have some special postage stamps#its like 1 sheet though it was for the 2017 eclipse and the image changes from totality to the moon with the heat of your finger theyre so#cool okay) anyways i like dont really know that much abt coins lol i originally saw a post abt this on reddit 💀 lol and had to check this#was real which is insane. anyways my dad got my all my coin stuff ive got a proof set from the year i was born albums to hold the 50 states#and national parks (america the beautiful but its 90% natl park designs lets be honest here) quarter collections as i find them irl#(dont have an album for us women yet sadly but do have some of the coins) as well as a few dimes and other circulation albums i havent used#much. and then i have a few collectibles like the hubble telescope $1 coin the 50th anniversary apollo 11 one and the 2021 anniversary peace#dollar. though like not the gold ones or anything like that lol but yeah. i talk abt coins every once and a while with friends and i know#things but then my dad is in the car and its like nevermind lol.#also put a ? after damian's name bc theres a chance it could be dick and they just used the wrong picture. because some of the character#bios had names but his didnt and seemed very dick grayson (acrobatics mention “batman's partner” etc) but not so specfic exclude either one#and the pick was damian. but then the ollie pick was goateeless for some reason so who knows#culturally dick is more important but dami is current so idk#dc comics#blah#ive really been learning so much today. first all in announcement and subsequent leaks and now this. what a ride#also love how im anticipating and know future comics things lol. when did that happen haha. ive really transitioned from only reading back#issues and never knowing current events to following a lot of releases lol and somehow finding out about the freaking coin collection...#crazy how that happens#cant scroll up at that first image without losing it a bit still actually. what a world we live in. anyways take your bets who is gonna be

I'm so fucking annoyed at the number of english-speaking hoyoverse players who play with the japanese subtitles
I'm only speaking about like, streamers and youtubers because those are the ones i see playing, obviously (and i'm only talking about genshin impact and honkai star rail bc those are the 2 hoyo games i play but i'm willing to bet the trend is the same in other hoyo games, and possibly in other chinese "anime" games)
The number of times i click on a video and the person speaks english but has their game set to japanese dubbing for no reason, like. Can you guys stop being weebs for just one second please.
#if you don't like listening to dubbing in your native language bc it feels awkward or whatever (i feel you)#or you love listening to foreign languages (which is great! i do too!) then why not#and bear with me for a second#listen to the game's original audio#the devs' language#CHINESE.#you're all so happy to play this fun chinese game but you're also very conveniently avoiding the language for some reason#now i don't want to reach too far in my theories but could it be the r word. the ism. mmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMH.#i'm not tagging this one because i don't want to risk it but maybe i'll change my mind later because this is annoying me so fucking much#and you're all talking about your 'waifus' and shit but most of you never learnt how to properly pronounce the chinese names in these games#and i'm blaming half of that on the weird and inconsistent (and sometimes straight up horrendous) choices#of name pronunciation in the english dubbing#(no media before genshin has truly made me hate localization as a concept because MAN do they fucking butcher some of those languages#for NO reason other than to coddle english speaking audiences#'buuuhuuu but we can't have all these french words have accents in them people will not understand they will be confuseeed'#ACCENTS EXIST SPECIFICALLY SO YOU KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE THE WORD. YOU CAN'T JUST ERASE THEM.)#anyways i'm going off a tangent here. my point is.#just TRY the chinese dubbing god dammit#'gnagnagna japanese is so elegant while chinese is so rough and ugly' how about you fuck off
