While I think Garp would be soley responsible for Mihawk’s hair falling out in clumps if they spent any amount of time together

I do think garp and Zoro would get on splendidly. As they are after all the same flavor of person.

any attempt to put all three of them in the same room will give Mihawk ulcers.

Mihawk would comment on their stupidity

Garp would respond “ain’t got to be smart to be a marine” and zoro would raise his glass in salute “ here, here”

And Mihawk’s blood pressure would reach levels previously inaccessible by man.

Today, I offer you:

Dirty Dancing Merthur AU (if you haven’t watched Dirty Dancing, you go watch it now, you child of the most corrupted thing on earth—)

Just joking.

It’s perfect. Frances even gets called “Baby” in the movie, so Arthur can be called “Arthie”. Imagine him falling in love with Merlin, the broke, attractive Cha Cha dancer in the Summer resort he, Morgana, Uther and Ygraine go to to spend their holiday in, and having to keep the relationship a secret, because it’s the 1963—

Morgana gets to dance with Merlin, and Arthur’s jealousy ensue, and UGH, the yearning that can come out from this.

Everything can be a Merthur fic @achillesuwu

obsessed w the confidence of the people who comment fully in portuguese on my fics. never once have i said that i speak portuguese nor indicated that i can understand it yet there r multiple people out there leaving multi-sentence comments & sometimes even paragraphs in a language i do not speak. just fully confident that no language barrier will stop the message from getting across…i love u

picture this, you’re a boy from guatemala standing outside a motel talking to your family on the phone until two cops approach you saying that you look suspicious. due to you barely knowing english, you most likely are confused as ever trying to figure out not only what they’re saying but what even is going on. the situation escalated even more to the point where these officers are now falsely detaining you which led to one officer having a heart attack and dying. now picture this, you’re now being charged with manslaughter for death of said officer.

that’s what happened to virgilio aguilar mendez.

please be sure to sign the petition also.

ok i got another one

i can’t seem to find a comprehensive list of dub languages online rn, these are the audio options i can select on my netflix account – not included in the poll but also available to me are hindi, indonesian, thai and a japanese audio description. idk tho if those are all that were produced or if there’s more options that are just not available in my region, lmk if there’s something else i missed here! also if you’ve listened to/watched multiple of these options do kindly tell which one(s) you like best!

btw guys i keep seeing people accusing quackity of misgendering tilín and i thought i should set the record straight. in (i believe) his second stream with tilín he asked tilín if they were a niño or a niña (boy or girl, thought niño is both masculine and neutral because there is no official neutral word in spanish so it’s more like boy/child or girl) and tilín said niño. the fact that tilín later said to charlie that they use she like juana, and note they never said they were a girl or that they only used she, doesn’t mean that quackity was misgendering tilín, especially since quackity wasn’t there and wasn’t ever told that by tilín

as for quackity more generally saying son all the time for every egg, you have to remember that he’s been mostly streaming in spanish, and that swapping between languages, even languages you’re fluent in, can cause you to lose some nuance. i’m almost certain, based on the way he’s been using son as essentially equivalent to child, that he’s thinking of the word hijo (again grammatically masculine but socially masculine and neutral) and forgetting about the nuance of hijo vs son. this is not a slight on quackity at all, but his grammar in english has been slightly less accurate in his most recent streams (for example he said “unlegitimate husband” instead of illegitimate today) because again swapping between languages can cause you to lose nuance or remember all of the grammar correctly

all that to say, quackity isn’t intentionally misgendering any of the eggs and he absolutely isn’t misgendering tilín

I love love love that the ccs will be forced to use the translator in order to communicate with the new ccs joining qsmp because that’s what it’s there for!!!!! it’s a translator!!! use it to translate, even if both of you are able to speak the same language!

I don’t see enough people use the translator, especially when the ccs are both able to speak (usually) english, and it’s still great that they can speak easier if they speak the same language, but the language barrier is one of the causes for the creation of the qsmp! Let the language barrier be a barrier in the first place, and let the translator do the work it was meant to do!

Let people who physically can’t speak the same language interact! It’s part of what makes qsmp qsmp, and even though it has impacted hugely just from adding people who generally create content and talk in different languages, I do think it somewhat lacks in the people speaking different languages category, because while that is true, it is also somewhat untrue in that all of the ccs can speak one of the same language (usually english), even if they’re not a natural at it!

Now, that’s not a bad thing at all! But, it does blur the speaking different languages problem that was meant to occur in qsmp. They speak different languages! Let them speak whatever language they want and let the translator do the work! Again, that is what it is there for! It is a translator! (I’m looking at you twitter)

And even if it takes a million repeats of the same sentence for someone to finally get what another person is trying to say, a hundred fuck-ups of the translation or a thousand language barrier/cultural miscommunications, again, qsmp was made for this to happen! It was made so people who come from different backgrounds and are usually unable to interact because of cultural/language barriers can interact, whether it start out negative or positive!

And I trust them (the ccs and fans) to communicate if controversy/confusion happens culturally and language-wise, and (hopefully) for the fans to not turn anything minor** into a huge drama, so I am extremely excited to see the ccs be forced into using the translator!

I’m not sure how to word my sadness while scrolling through the qsmp tag this morning. There was only one person that I saw (well I saw other people mentioning them as id blocked them about a week ago lmao) stiring the pot and being negative/racist while most others were either reacting to the cesspool that is Twitter or that one person which was kind of creating an echo chamber of worry/negativity.

Unfortunately there isn’t really anything we can do about the assholes other than block and move on. Don’t engage with them as they are looking for that. They want outrage and drama.

The only thing we can do is be extra positive towards the ccs. Encourage them, make more fan content supporting their rp choices, engage in the fandom in a positive way to drown out the negative.

The qsmp is very special. Don’t let the ass holes ruin it for you. Take a break from Twitter if you need to. Block people and report them for hate speech if need be. Be a positive force to counter the negativity

Forever and Cellbit were talking about cross banning everyone shitting on Bagerah and I think that is the best way we can also proceed. Don’t give the assholes any attention. Don’t argue with them. Just block and move on/continue supporting the ccs.

Please don’t let this fandom turn into the dsmp fandom

My writing/reading question of the day:

Do you prefer present tense or past tense? Or something entirely different like future tense? For writing AND reading🫶

The more I write (I wish I realized how fun it was before this year😭😭😭) the more I realize I like to play around with language & tense choice can have such a profound impact on how your writing comes across & even how I feel as I’m writing. With my oneshots I’ve been playing around with only present tense & my main fic is past tense (but present during the flashbacks - idk don’t ask it just felt right😆).

Or does nobody else think about tense and I’m just alone in this😆😆😆 LANGUAGE IS JUST SO COOL !!!!

Don't know who I blocked on WhatsApp, but just in case... *ehem*

To anyone receiving the packages, I know my phone number is on the return details, but please don't message me on WhatsApp 🙃 Unless we're 1) family, 2) colleagues, 3) friends, especially if you're from overseas, I will block you immediately, especially if you come at me without introducing who you are. I'm not being mean, I'm just trying to avoid anything that might potentially be scam. Thank you for understanding 🙇‍♀️
