Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

#linguistics #gen z slang #english #as people in the reblog pointed out!#most gen z slang comes from (or was appropriated from) aave #honestly I was just excited to talk about how people in my field actually get excited about non standard uses of English #instead of ridiculing speakers #and I tagged incorrectly and didn’t point out the very real issues of language and power and appropriation inherent in modern slang #in that much of it was appropriated #and even that which experiences language change in the wider culture still originated in aave #aave is just as linguistically valid as any other English dialect because it is a proper language #and the grammar is incredible!!!#habitual be is fantastic and an excellent example of how a richer case system or a certain case can render an adverb unnecessary #and the phonology is just beautiful #anyway I’m very sorry #I fucked up

The Yiling Band Tour!

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #wen qing #wen ning #digital art #animation #This was a fun style experiment and a good lesson in 'hey you have less than a week to make this project. You cannot be a perfectionist'.#Right now - posting these slightly upgraded frames is really helping me stay motivated through the learning grind.#But progress is happening! I'm so excited to show it off when it's done!#Someone with a very discerning eye might be able to figure out what I'm doing with just this one frame. I will take the risk.#That aside; I often think about how the nature of cultivators in MDZS's world also entailed knowing about other art forms.#Meaning that Wen Qing and Wen Ning likely were good musicians and artists.#We know WWX is also good in art and music so...really...what was stopping them from forming a band?#Allow me to pitch this AU: Yiling Opera company AU. WWX and the Wen remnants form a performing trope and tour towns and cities.#Not only do they find a way to keep on the move (no home...only the road and the people around you).#But you also get to be in costume - which is a socially appropriate way to always be in disguise.#Yiling Laozu would thus be a character and/or WWX's stage name.#Would he be good at keeping it a secret? Hard to say with WWX! I think it would be a poorly-kept secret at best.#He likes to brag and show off a bit too much. This many would be either the worst or best spy.#Consider the drama of JC losing his mind over his ex-brother becoming a clown. Imagine JC Getting his ass kicked by said clown.#Imagine the delectable secret identity drama potential of Lan Wangji stumbling upon the trope's performances.#We did not get nearly enough of the secret identiy drama in MDZS canon. I need more of it.#I need that man conflicted with his feelings for the same person. I need them playing mind games with each other at all times.

I don’t know if any non-Jews noticed this in the last d20 ep but Brennan has changed how he refers to Gulsum, the Mordred Manor real estate guy, from golem to construct! When Gulsum was first referenced in sophomore year he was called a flesh golem, but in junior year he has been called a flesh construct. In episode 12 of FHJY Brennan even made sure to correct himself when he misspoke and said golem instead of construct, which proved to me this was an active effort on his part.

The term golem comes from Jewish mysticism and has religious connotations so some Jewish people find it offensive when the term gets co-opted into fantasy settings without regard for the original source. It’s cool to see Brennan moving away from that and trying to find less loaded terms to use instead, like construct.

#personally I find phylactery to be a better example of Jewish terminology being appropriated but this is a start!#i don’t honestly care that much abt golem being used but I know it means a lot to Czech and mystic Jews so it’s nice to see the effort #fantasy high #cienna talks #fhjy #edited for clarity I know some people already reblogged but it’s fine

I tried to draw sheep Machete and goat Vasco (but I am not good at drawing goats, at all)

.

#Macsheep and Goatsco #what do you mean I LOVE goat Vasco #the ears! the hejazi goat ears!#and his expression is just *chef's kiss* perfect #really captures that ungovernable goatlike glee #I like how he retained his smooth coat and sleek and curved shapes #and Machete looks very appropriate as a sheep as well #he would have even more reason to trim his neck wool as a sheep #come to think of it would he have to keep himself sheared at all times if he wanted his clothes to fit correctly?#and just keep the head fluff #I noticed that you paid attention to their snout shapes! sheep have kind of rabbitlike nose whereas goats have a smoother upper lip #with less prominent philtrum #I thought that was such a cool detail #something I often forget myself when I'm drawing these species #thank you!#gift art #arttsuka #Machete #Vasco #it's weird how much harder their expressions are to read solely because of the horizontal pupils #they're mammalian but lack that anthropomorphic familiarity I guess

Beach day! I mean they live near a beach so it's one of many.

This was suppose to be for an inbox message that was ages ago. Been trying and retrying to draw this but now realized I have misunderstood it. 😅 RIP

So, like, I'm just gonna toss it here. Making characters look older is still a personal struggle, ( I am getting at it though hoho), but the eldest is 15 in this.

#Ebony's (the oldest) is gonna be off doing their space adventures in couple of months so it's one of the few times they're having beach #day together for a while! 😊 ☀️🏖️#They weren't planning on playing Volleyball but they saw someone set up a net so they grabbed the ball the twins brought.#It's not Volleyball-appropriate and so light it bounced too much. It knocked off Connie's shades.#Twins are not baby-sized. They're like. 6. Steven is just big. And OP still need to practice proportions.#connverse #Lion is doing a sploot #OC #muh connverse kids #connie maheswaran #steven quartz universe #my shiz #su #steven universe #skedoobles #Ebony OC #Rohini OC #Zachary OC #Sakura OC #Still thinking if they live by a beach that has a lot of people nearby. Or they leave by a beach that has a distance from a town.#connverse kids

genuinely curious how the writers and larger dragon age audience would treat thom rainier if instead of being appropriately* repentant and putting himself in prison he blew up a major orlesian government building to instigate a chevalier rebellion or tried to have someone do some necromantic blood magic ritual involving uncertain danger and possible sacrifices to bring the innocent children he ordered killed back to life

#*appropriately as in showing the expected amount of remorse in the appropriate way in a society founded on guilt and shame #i think blackwall actually tells us a lot about how dragon age's writers conceptualize justice and deservedness of punishment #im glad we get the option to forgive him but why do we get the option when anders is exiled at best?#and later characterized as a villain by dai #when solas is willfully imprisoned at best and trapped in a horrifying psychological torture chamber at worst?#blackwall gets a full redemption happy ending if inky so chooses #and im not saying he shouldnt #i forgive him every time #but its so interesting to me that narratively speaking #he seems to earn his happy ending through submission to punishment via imprisonment #as does solas but blackwall is portrayed far more sympathetically overall #there isnt the same meta-level narrative slander and clear agenda on behalf of the writing to make you feel a certain way about his crimes #as there is with anders and solas #why? whats the difference? what did he do to buy himself that narrative goodwill?#put himself in prison? why do the writers love carceral punishment so much lmfaooo #mine #if you wanna screenshot these tags and add them to the reblog feel free #im realizing i prob just shouldve put all of this in the post but its too late now #i think theres actually a strong argument that thom does not do nearly ENOUGH to right his wrongs #where is his effort to reform the orlesian military? where is his criticism of orlesian imperialism?#how does serving in the inquisition have a direct impact on the people he harmed? it doesnt #when you compare him to someone like roy mustang #yes im comparing him to roy mustang this is my blog and you are never going to escape roy mustang comparisons here #roy's political ambitions following his war crimes are directly related to those war crimes #and his goals directly benefit the same group of people he harmed #their ancestors and family members literally #meanwhile blackwall just kind of does vague “good” deeds and gets a full redemption #he really does not make much effort to repatriate the harm he did as a soldier #he just moves on #which again.... no shade to blackwall. my inky forgives him

Fury made Alanna gasp for breath. How could anyone get well in a menagerie? How could Jonathan breathe? This went against all the commonsense rules Maude had taught her for healing: clean air, quiet, absolute cleanliness, calm and reassuring voices. Didn't these people know anything?

#song of the lioness #tamora pierce #alanna the lioness #alanna the first adventure #tortall #watercolour #so elephant in the room is i remembered that I forgot to buy a card reader for the new computer and so i had to do a phone photo to finish #and i think youll agree that theres some very egregious artifacting going on #it is what it is i wanted to finish and didn't want to buy a card reader yet #anyway my thinking here is this would all be that much more tragic if everyone was in desecrating Jons childhood bedroom/tween nursery that #that maybe he hadn't quite left behind yet for a more appropriate crown-princling set of rooms because this is the turning point right #Jons dying he's not going to be allowed to grow up- Alanna is frustrated by the limitations of her own age and size and postilion #so alanna reaches outside those limits- with myles/with the gods and in doing so neither children are ever the same #that's my ted talk thanks for listening ive had a couple of months to think about it because I myself had several serious flu's that i cant #seem to shake while ive been picking away at doing this one i could have referenced myself for jons sweaty knocking on deaths door pose

So I've been seeing a bunch of people reblogging some of my old gifs which made me want to go and work on them but didn't have enough energy for that so instead you get cropped screencap grabs and some edits.

These are from TFATWS gag reel:

These are from the deleted scenes, most of these are edited except the first one:

Of course you know I can't resist some Sambucky shots:

Now this next one is definitely a scene that's been on my wips for ages but I figured the screenshots were good too. It's a discussion between Sam and Rhodey about what happened to Rhodey during Civil War and we ALL have read fic addressing it, and while I hated this was in a deleted scene, the fact it's actually a canon thing is kind of nice.

Also, I had to take this shot because clearly a WHOLE lot of people (mostly the kids) wanted that (ice cream) cake lmao

#tfatwsedit #tfatws #sam wilson #bucky barnes #james rhodes #sambucky #helmut zemo #my graphics #my screencaps #long post #in other news i very much hate tumblr's new photoset feature in that it made it HELL to try to arrange these pics appropriately UGH #the sam and rhodey scene was side by side but then the editor fucked up and i couldn't rearrange the last two in the right order and then #i went to edit it and bam now it's all like this like this is a MAJOR bug hello #the old version made it so easy but nope. lmao anyways hope y'all enjoyed these #sorry it's a long post but like i said blame tumblr's current photoset feature version

On the one hand Silco ABSOLUTELY DID NOT deserve what Vander did to him, it was absolutely horrific and he is such a tragic character.

On the other hand, given how this mf monologues constantly and makes it his life mission to cause maximum psychic damage to anyone he interacts with at all times, it's a bit of a shock he didn't get throttled sooner

#I JOKE #pls don't take this seriously lmao I love my liitle rat man so much #tbh tho if my ex monologued some Das Kapital shit at me after threatening to murder my children I too would go for the windpipe ngl #He's so fucking annoying (my favorite character)#silco arcane #vander arcane #silco #vander #cw intimate partner violence #zaundads #idk if zaundads is an appropriate tag but I ship it and I think its funny so who cares

MY POST SAYING WHEELCHAIR USERS DESERVE MULTIPLE WHEELCHAIRS IS NOT "like pairs of shoes" OH MY GOD

#it is so so much more complex than that please for the love of god #even like sports chair = sneakers or similar like. you can do things barefoot. you can do things in 'incorrect' shoes #it is NOT THE SAME as needing different wheelchairs in different contexts or needing a backup wheelchair #having access to appropriate mobility aids is life and death for many disabled people #please please please understand that it is so much more than this fucking shoe metaphor

Saw someone say on twitter „luke experienced subdrop and needed aftercare“ and I haven’t stopped thinking about this video/interview/comment bc I REALLY hope the producers are aware how much their actors are doing for this show and are taking proper care of them (e.g. having competent intimacy coordinators).

#the whole filming process sounds very intense 🫣#like them not really rehearsing the argument scene and just screaming at each other 'doing what you‘d do in a real argument'#and yeah I get it 'thats acting' but there‘s so many actors who were worked to the bone #who brought vulnerability to the table bc it made a scene better and got taken advantage of #and with how much and how rapid the show is gaining in popularity; the upcoming netflix deal #I just hope the production stays clean and responsible #iwtv #interview with the vampire #luke brandon field #assad zaman #daniel molloy #armand #edit: I don’t really have a stance on whether or not that terminology is applicable and/or appropriate #I read it on twitter and I think its not too far out there w the way he described it
