i know what i said about ewan not being typecasted but i was wrong.

he always plays the disastrous-queer who always ends up as the malewife in every relationship he gets in

very sad to me that people seem to have a knee-jerk cringe reaction to the idea of asmr videos because it's some of the most inherently, unambiguously kind content on youtube. literally just an entire genre dedicated to helping people fall asleep or relax, with a huge variety of types to choose from. it's just nice innit

The best part about not knowing a single thing about a media is that whenever I see Blorbo In Law (friend’s blorbo), that’s all I can associate them with. Like I may not know you, sir, but you are Beloved Friend’s blorbo so I am happy to see you :)

I don't always Appreciate going to bed in general as a gotta-keep-doing-shit-until-i-pass-out sort of person but my god some nights it really Hits. Oh my fucking god. Bed. Have you guys fucking tried this shit? Beddie......

[chilschuck]

i come to bring you— !!! a small thing

a very small thought: crittery half-foots. but specifically Chilchuck ✨️ fur-like body hair, mice-like ears and maybe a little tail too?short or long, whichever you prefer more :D imagine snuggling with him like two kitties keeping eachother warm and clean and cozy :3

— 🦗

`✦ ˑ ִֶ ���⊹ WAHHHHHHH CRICKET ANON I JUST NOW SAW THIS FOR SOME REASON AND IM SO WAUSGJSGSJVSJHDKSJDK. crittery half-foots make me so happy and so does this ask (;;;w;;;)

he’d be even warmer like that, fuzzy to the touch in some places and you can’t help but snuggle into him more and give that happy sigh he loves to hear <333 (but would never admit it!)

chil’s tail always sways a bit when you get so close to him, and he has to calm it down in hopes to save some face… but the way you make his heart speed up and make him feel so toasty gets him every time. maybe you gathered some blankets to make him feel even more comfortable and he’s taking you with him deeper into those covers for sure. chil curls up around you, enjoying your body heat but also keeping you warm as well and you press those sweet kisses to his ears that makes him melt…. <333 aaaaaaa

i need to draw him more like this. sighs dreamily….. cricket anon you get me so much

mandarin pronunciation guide

it’s always frustrating to see people mispronouncing things if you know what it’s supposed to sound like, and this happens quite often with mandarin, because a lot of the pinyin phonetic representations aren’t exactly intuitive for english speakers. luckily for people who want to be respectful, they are incredibly consistent. none of that sometimes-this-letter-sounds-one-way bullshit like with english. so here’s a quick guide:

first of all, mandarin has a pretty limited range of ways words can start and end, which is why there are so many homophones. but it makes it easier for pronunciation. most words start with a consonant, and if they start with a vowel it will be an 'a' or 'e' most of the time.

most important, mandarin does not have the 'ay' sound english-speakers say in 'hey', 'day', etc. if an 'a' is the only vowel in a word, it's pronounced like the 'o' in tongs. the common name 'yang' is not yay-ng but yah-ng. the city of Shanghai is not shay-ng hi but shah-ng hi.

the letter c is always pronounced as ts, like the beginning of 'tsunami'

z is pronounced similarly, but by vocalizing it rather than it being only breath, like turning a P into a B or an F into a V in english.

'zh' is a sound we don't have in english. it's at the very front of the mouth, like a harder version of a 'j' almost mixed with a soft 'g.' so the name 'zhang' would not be 'zah-ng' but 'jah-ng'

x is pronounced like a sh at the very front of your mouth, so the city Xi'an is pronounced like 'tshee-an'

e is always pronounced as a schwa (ə), the 'uh' sound in 'duh'. so 'sheng' is pronounced like 'shung'

q is pronounced as a tight ch the same way x is a sh, so the Qing dynasty is the 'tching' dynasty.

there's obviously a lot more to it, but those bullets are the biggies. it's not the hardest thing in the world, and even just removing the english 'ay' sound from any pronunciation of mandarin does wonders to make it sound more normal.

Me in my head thinking I need to draw Momina and Mukhtar together so one of the cast could go: "You're related...!?" Pause. "WAIT, HE'S BLACK?"

What they don't look related!? 😒
