Let's talk phonics!

Every English vowel can make two basic sounds: what's called a short sound, and a long sound. Take the letter E, for example. A short E can be found in the words met, bet, and set. A long E can be found in the words meet, seat, and treat. (You might notice the two vowels in a row in these words; double vowels in English almost always make the vowel sound long!)

In standard American English, "coffee" is pronounced with a short O sound, such as in the words dog, log, and cough. The IPA symbol for this vowel sound is ɒ. An easy way to spell this sound without using IPA is "ah" -- as in when the doctor asks you to stick out your tongue and "say 'aahh!'"

This is not to be confused with the short A sound, as in the words apple, cat, and axe. The IPA symbol for this vowel sound is æ. An easy way to spell this sound without using IPA is simply "a" (with no "h" after it).

Accents will slightly (or largely) alter our vowel sounds and how we might think to spell them; "coffee" sounds different with a British accent than an American one. But now that we know how to talk about vowel sounds, let's rephrase:

Does "ko-fi" sound identical to "coffee" (typically, for Americans: a short O followed by a long E)?

Or does it rhyme with lo-fi (typically, for Americans: a long O followed by a long I)?

Or does it sound like something else?

Little Danny's Big Adventure

New idea.

Okay now hear me out.

-Pulls out AU idea cauldron and tosses stuff into it-

Let's put in some Ghost King/Prince Danny.... But also some deaged to toddlerhood Danny that gets yeeted into the DCverse!

Like imagine, tiny baby Danny with his tiny crown of ice floating above his head and his galaxy cape wrapped around him and uses it like a baby blanket. He didn't mean to fall into a different universe, a natural portal opened up and he was being a curious little thing! He didn't mean to trip and fall in during his nap time.

Nor was he expecting to fall into this realm during a rogue attack and knock out said rogue cause they were being a meanie and harming people and now Danny just wants his nap time cause he spent a lot of his tiny engery and he wants to find a nice spot.

Danny finds a place to crash, snuggling himself into his cape and the astronaut bear Danielle got him during her last visit that he takes everywhere since.

He's out like a light as the door to this safe house that belongs to one of the Bats opens up.

Meanwhile. In the Infinite Realms, Queen Regent Jazz is going into Mama Bear Jazz Mode trying to find her deaged brother, keeping the Realms in check, and is resisting the urge to put CW in time out Soup Time because he's being cyptided again about Danny whereabouts!!! UGH!

[digital-sigil]

can we all stop making egg jokes about people that we dont know. can we all stop making egg jokes about people that are, at least currently, cisgender. can we all stop making egg jokes about other people.

like. egg jokes about the self? literally fine. can actually be funny. insisting that someone is "an egg" because they do x or y? not funny. rude. please shut the fuck up.

Sun Wukong and Love

Found family, my beloved 💚💙🩷🧡💛

Sun Wukong, Intelligent Stone Monkey, Handsome Monkey King, Great Sage Equal to Heaven- going from the blind adoration of Azure Lion and the enabling permissiveness of Macaque and the rowdy shenanigans of his Sworn Brotherhood to the flawed and misfit pilgrims will live rent free in my head forever.

Wukong moving past a life where the “love” he receives stops when he fails or falls. Moving past a life where “love” can’t survive an argument.

Wukong learning what real love is.

Learning that real love has restrictions and boundaries and inherent equality, and is more than being treated as a king or leader.

And learning that if someone loves you, they’ll give you a second chance when you fail or fall short or disappoint them.

Sun Wukong learning to love.
