How Many Languages Does One Man Need?

Small language learning update- today was my first day of German class! The language courses fulfill just enough units for me to graduate on time, so it seemed like fate that this opportunity would arise right as I started thinking about picking up German again. I will say, though, it feels a little silly picking up a third language when I still feel like I haven’t progressed passed dabbling in Mandarin.

German is the language that started my lifelong journey of loving languages. I’ve wanted to learn it ever since I was a child, but it’s never quite worked out. It was cut from my high school a few years before I entered, so I took Spanish instead. I even tried learning it on my own a few times throughout high school and even university, but it never quite stuck. Now I realize that I never actually knew how to learn a language, which resulted in me losing most of the Spanish that I learned in high school. I credit Japanese with teaching me how to learn languages properly. At the time I started getting interested in learning Japanese, I was actually learning German. After some slight peer pressure from a few friends, I ended up dropping German to learn Japanese. Perhaps that’s what we call fate. I wouldn’t change what happened for the world!

As for learning three languages at once, with two being at beginner stages, I, for once in my life, set up a study schedule for myself. I’ll study each language for two days per week, with German days being offset from my class so that I actually do the homework. That’s only six days, so I have one “off” day (which will probably just end up being an immersion or extra Japanese study day most of the time). With this schedule, not only do I hope to keep myself on track with studying each of my languages, but also with properly studying Japanese, as most of my recent work with the language has been immersion based. Tomorrow is my first “German” day, so I’m excited to dive into studying! The current plan is to watch videos that break down German pronunciation.

#the title of this post is a reference to Tolstoy’s short story how much land does one man need #I haven’t read it yet but that’s because I haven’t fully given up on learning russian one day #also an extra piece of lore for you: I passed the ap Spanish exam in high school #also i wrote this last night now so #its a little off #langblr #studyblr #polyglot #german #german langblr #studyinspo #languages #language learning #studying #benkyou posting

renaissance dogys

characters belong to @canisalbus

#i love i loveeee ludovica sm shes so cute. ive only known her for 5 min but i fell in love with her design and i love her friendship #with vasco ^_^ i think them having each other makes hiding their sexualities a little less lonely so thats sweet #ik in modern au shes considered an old friend of vascos but i originally assumed she and vasco fake dated in college or smth #to get their parents off their backs until they came out properly and continued to stay in touch as friends after LMAO #im not very familiar with period fashion so i had to look at renaissance costumes as reference. but i have to admit i love the #high waistlines used in some of their dresses.. i have a minidress with a similar high waistline pressed against the chest and sleeves #also if u squint machete is holding a little paper bag in the 2nd photo which is supposed to be his lunch courtesy of vasco <3 #idk what ludovica would wear in modern au but i thought poet shirts might suit her because theyre like somewhere evenly between #masc and femme. to me anyway.. based on observation lesbians seem to love poet shirts and i think she looks good in one #these are all shitposts.. ill draw serious art of them one of these days i promise #i listened to fools rush in and it reminds me of them.. especially when it goes 'though i see the danger there / if theres a chance #for me then i dont care' like its so poignant and bittersweet.. a little indulgent when u think of those small moments they have togethr #save me gay catholic furries... gay catholic furries... gay catholic furries save me #my art #myart #doodles #fanart #others ocs #canisalbus #fur #furry art #machete #vasco #vaschete #ludovica #sfw fur #furry #anthro

tsum events really are just the best, huh

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #tsumsted wonderland #to be fair this is from mal's card story so it's more...event-adjacent #i-it still counts right #poor malleus tsum is having such a time #first it blows up the kitchen and then it almost gets spin-cycle'd to tsum-death #the poor little guy just wanted to help with the party! it was trying its BEST 😭#and instead it accidentally recreated every other tuesday from my college days #i am so genuinely delighted to read two entire chapters of malleus bragging about knowing how to use household appliances #(he knows what he's doing! he READ the MANUAL)#(you know that manual has copious notes covering the margins in perfect copperplate)#and the callback to his dorm ssr story. perfect.#we all knew this was going to end in malleus punching a washing machine into smithereens #i'm disappointed that the next part is probably just going to be a fun party or whatever #and not malleus showing off how close he is to finally mastering the toaster #twst please where is my spinoff game where we have to help a dragon fae prince learn how to do household tasks #i have an indescribable need to see malleus attempt to use a vacuum #he is very enthusiastic and also very stupid and we love him for it

The entire premise of Alicorns being on another untouchable level dissapears when you account for Cadence's basic-ass taste in men

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.

Autism W!

#columbo #knight rider #art #michael knight #kitt #comic #highlight reel #crossover #telebeast #there are two small easter eggs here. can you find them. they were somehow not Entirely lost when i resized these for the public #this is what i mean when i say I Draw And It's Everyone Else's Problem. look at my INCREDIBLY niche crossover comic boy #if the knight rider fandom has like 12 people in it. how many of y'all have seen columbo #this comic is for like 4 people and me and phoenix are already two of them #niche is my specialty lets be real. weird niche obscure shit and ships nobody's paid attention to yet #not to suggest this is ship art. columbo has his wife and michael has his car lmfao #stylizing real people is EXTREMELY hard btw sorry for when they get off model. its partly a 'better imperfect than never finished' situatio #cant tell you how much i redrew some of these panels. weeps #this took me 2 weeks but i think i thumbnailed it all in may and the ideas been rollin around in my head since march #is anybody good at editing. please edit michael and columbo into an image together like its a screenshot. NOT generated. edited.#it would be so cool #ive drawn columbo a lot but i haven't drawn a lot of michaels. i was learning things about his outfit AS I WAS DOING THE DAMN #COLORS ON THIS. all the lines done. it was too late to change anything. i did all the lines and colored page by page #i realized my mistakes on like page 3. 1 and 2 were already done. it was Too Late.#imagine it though. them working a case together. switching between the more serious tone of columbo vs the goofier #action antics of michael and kitt. columbo being so impressed by Modern Technology. there's more i could say but phoenix may write #more of this crossover and i don't want to spoil it :'3 #there's opportunity here though i swear. there's gold to be dug.#i like how kitt gets shading but columbo's junker peugeot doesn't. kitt looked wrong without any. columbo's car is matte and dirty #i also applied effects to this to make it look a little film-grainy and VHS like. some CRT TV vibes #the only question left is. did they put knight rider into columbo; or columbo into knight rider 🤔

#ultimate imposter #Hajime hinata #Twohina #An art #Sdr2 #sdr2 nagito #danganronpa 2 #Okay long tag rant incoming #I got into a comment thread on ig because I was mouthing off. Dumb of me I know I keep doing this #And it woke up a nasty side in myself that I don't like. Not that I said anything undeserved #but I was getting a little too into the satisfaction of it. And if you let yourself gloat in being nasty #You're more likely to allow yourself that in other situations and imo you just shouldn't indulge yourself in that #At least I shouldn't. Its not about being self satisfied. Anyway. SUCH A TANGENT #I had a little self reflection moment when I woke up and decided to stop being angry at people in my head. Even shitty people are just peop #And idk maybe that makes sense to someone. If this comic is super nonsensical to you dwbi lol #Okay that's it. Tap mic. Thanks you. Tip your waitress.#twogami

I identify as butch but have lots of soft plushies in my bed... do you think I ought to remove them before I invite someone over for hookups? never see any butches with plushies tbh so a bit selfconscious

don't be self-conscious dude. hoarding plushies is a masculine trait. your ancient shepherd instinct. if i came over and saw a butch had a bunch of plushies i wouldn't be like Ew i'd be like Bro, your deep intrinsic drive to protect and shelter other creatures is being channelled into collecting all these little yarn animals and tiny cloth people? kiss me

#no but for real don't worry about the plushies it's fine #i have One and i think i'd take him off the bed for the duration (because he's a little creeper) but i dont think its a big deal either way #mail
