I know I've mentioned Bolo being cake in Portuguese (and the mispronounced Bola being Ball) but Idk if people know Porco, from Patia's surname, means Pig in Portuguese (and other romantic languages that use it as an alternative word for it) and I wish Marisha had talked more about it, if it was intentional or not.
#it's mentioned at the trivia section of her wiki page#i mean there could be some meaning relating to power and swines or that she just liked the sound of it#anyway#just a lil trivia#patia por'co#funny is laerryn's surname also sounds kinda latin#cora for corazon/coração means heart#mar means sea in both spanish and portuguese#but that surname. against what i first assumed. isn't actually common at all#ALSO if you tear it apart differently cor-amar. Amar means to love in portuguese 🙈#not to mention luis bringing zerxus full on very spanish sounding names#all this to say it's not unreasonable to develop on my latin america inspired headcanons for domunas#critical role#exu calamity#cr stuff

Hi! Can I ask you a question about France? How common or uncommon or weird is the use of coucou as a greeting? Especially between adults. Would it be super weird if I went to France and greeted someone like that?
I don't trust the click-baity articles that show up when I google this (I'm not even sure all of them were written by humans), so I'd rather ask someone that, you know, actually lives over there.
Thanks, have a nice day
Hi! Coucou is a pretty common greeting including between adults (though it's more often used by women as it does sound a bit cutesy), but I think it implies pre-established friendly relations, unlike the neutral Bonjour or Salut. I only use it with family and friends. Friendly acquaintances too—okay now that I think about it, it's hard to say where I draw the coucou line. I use it as a greeting when I enter the library if there's no one in there but the librarian because I know her well, but if there are other people in the room I say bonjour even if they're children. And of course if I knew the librarian very well but didn't like her she wouldn't get a coucou. You kind of have to follow your heart with this greeting.
But definitely don't use it to greet people in a shop or formal context or anyone you don't know well because that would be weird (in my view!) Coucou sounds affectionate, I often use it in writing to set the tone ("Hi I am an informal unthreatening email !") (also if a French person sends you a text that starts with Cc, that's textspeak for coucou)
To me "Salut !" is "Hi!" while "Coucou" is Hi :) <3
#ask#maybe other french people feel differently about it?#and i feel you re: not trusting internet articles for this stuff they are traitors#sometimes i look up a polysyllabic latin-rooted word we use in french like does it exist in english too?#and several serious-looking websites tell me yeah this word totally exists in english go ahead!#we've adopted it from french it's fine#then i ask a native speaker and they're like no one has ever used this word out loud without sounding like a pretentious tryhard ever

♪ miles's [ ds nightmare's ] & vick's [ ds cross's ] themes - the Few
these two are the smallest batch, mainly because I never really latched onto either of their themes, or felt like they were as suited to them as the others. I feel like there might have been some other attempts at variations, but I can't find them anywhere.
#like both of them probably deserve goofy themes but they don't have them. that's basically how I feel about it#dreamswap#fatal flaws#miles newton#victoria crow#ds nightmare#ds cross#music closet#music#audio#why does vick's/cross's remixed theme sound like latin pop when she is this white

Why does pretty much every game except the one that takes place in Cyrodiil lean into Ancient Roman aesthetics for Cyrodiil and the Empire? Why are the only Roman aesthetics in Oblivion shit built by the Ayleids? Why is the one game where I could've been in fantasy Rome generic fantasy Europe??? Where is my fantasy Rome DAMMIT!!!!!
#listen usually i get that fictional cultures shouldnt just be wholecloth real cultures in a fantasy world but oblivion is not roman enough#and eso has to copy oblivions city looks for nostalgia's sake so while the clothes are more unique imo they cities look the same#i get what they were doing with each city having influence from the province nearby in ob but they couldve done that with more creativity#and the CLOTHES UGH i do not like oblivion's clothing#and every other game (morrowind and beyond) gives them very latin sounding names while in oblivion theyre there but not nearly as much#i just really like ancient rome and i was ROBBED#who cares about jungles!!!#mine#tes#tesblr#theres a really good comic about baby martin where they make it much more roman like and i love it

an assortment of my temeraireverse fic-dragons!
[cygnet and honoré are from fifteenth-century britain and france, aquilillus, flavia magna, and bán are from second-century britain, and cipachcoatzin is from sixteenth-century mesoamerica]
#em draws stuff#em is posting about temeraire#temeraire#temeraire worldbuilding collection#the eagle of the ninth#slightly belated summer of sutcliff#henry v 1989#our scene must to the battle fly#<- so many organizational tags on these. and something in the neighborhood of ten hours of drawing too (ouch my whole body)#real tags be upon you. on account of I've spent one million years on this.#another dispatch from the Em Refuses To Do Lineart Today collection. I was not spending Any more time on these.#actual notes of relevance: bán's relationship to people is Heavily borrowed from luzula's fic 'the flight of dragons' on ao3#(go read it go read it go read it it inspired a lot of what I try to do with the temverse worldbuilding / historical stuff)#aquilillus' name subject to change as I cannot seem to spell it the same twice [neon sign floats over me that says Sucks At Latin]#also. I'm holding cipacton in my arms like a ferret and saying He Is Not Incan over and over. because he isn't. By the way.#last point: an immense thanks to bestie jon's dad's Cheese playlist which I have been looping for this entire drawing time.#The Creation Of This Image was Sponsored By A Concerning Amount of Kenny Loggins and Other Such Silly Sounds.

So I was drawing Red being a little kid along side Rubert and I thought "Hey what if i made a silly au were they are little kids and siblings?" And then I remember how I fell down a rabbit hole for dad Mango content so–
Mango becomes Papa luchon! >:]
(And Gold is alive too and Purple is Mango adopted child)
idk how Red found Rubert cause Minecraft doesn't really exits but he's here! Let's say they live in stickcity with a few changes
I'm gonna keep some of my hc's of the sticks in the au but they're siblings here so NO shipping, also they're like 8 so– no
In conclusion, just a silly au with family fluff like, there's no big angsty lore behind it ;)
And you know, if you had a little question then you can– you can ask -twirl hair-
#the stickfigures are gonna had that desing only for this au just lo look diferent#i didn't know how to draw Mango older so i just gave him grey hair#you know how im gonna call this au?#wawas!au#'wawa' meaning little kid in ecuador and other latin countries#i like how wawa sound so yeah#animation vs animator#animation vs minecraft#ava#avm#alan becker#avm au#ava au#rossart

It has been 3 years since my favorite youtube channel has been deleted
Quickly sketched this for the death-anniversary
Memento mori, unus annus 🖤🤍
#for those who have never heard of this#ik unus annus sounds a bit weird#it just means ‘one year’ in latin#unus annus was a channel made by markiplier and crankgameplays#they would post one video each day for one year#and after the year they deleted the whole channel during a live stream#they did it to show people how short life is#and how we should value our time <3#memento mori#my art#unus annus#markiplier#crankgameplays

canis albus et canis fulvus.
amor aeternus.
(im just learning latin :3)
.
#white dog and yellow dog#eternal love#I might've gone with aurelius it's specifically golden/gilded/gold colored#but it's just a hunch I don't actually speak Latin#answered#anonymous#that sounds like something they would carve in a tree#or graffiti on a side of a building Roman style

new life plan for the forthcoming administration:
become an expert in sortes Sapphōnis rhapsodomancy from the Carson translation. At this point, making decisions based on random fragments of Sappho makes as much sense as anything else in this world.
#did i spend an unnecessary amount of time declining sappho in genitive? yes#did there turn out to be multiple websites arguing about exactly that? yes#Sapphonis is more later neolatin but it sounds better than the true latin Sapphius so#which is really a latinization of the greek declension so the whole thing is fucked

First time in months that I just doodle fanart for the fun of it and it’s because I’m obsessed??? with A Ballad of Scarlet and Wine and in the new chapter the wonderful author did some awesome art for Gato and Lobo’s designs and I fell in love!!!!!!! If it’s your thing you have to read it!
So... I had to doodle them!
Also I’ve been playing Bloodborne daily and my hunter has the Cainhurst Knights attire and... I love side capes. In all cultures, I love side capes. Love them.
#Puss in Boots#Puss in boots 2#the last wish#AU#I will call them Gato and Lobo or Muerte because the latin spanish version in the true one#you are missing out Lobos's voice in spanish he sounds SO MUCH MORE INTIMIDATING#I've heard kids screaming in fear at the movie theater when he comes out#yeah i know the actor who does the voice in english is pablo escobar#i don't care#freaking Pisano does SUCH AN EXCELLENT VOICE i won't shut up about it HE IS DEATH

"Well, well, look at you," you laughed, "I can't say I've had the pleasure of being caught before, charmed Batman. I'm a bit disappointed to see you're not a demon; I thought we might hit it off."
The Batman doesn't speak at first, then holds you up against the wall, “The Upper East End. Tuesday night.���
“Hmm, doesn’t ring a bell,” you shrug and he presses his arm harder against your throat, “Now, now, batboy, I need my vocal cords for later, I’ve got a couple men’s names to scream in the bedroom.” He throws you to the ground, you roll a few meters and laugh, “Oh, I love a man who plays rough.”
You prop yourself up on your elbow, grabbing his leg before he can press it on your chest, twisting your body just enough to unbalance him. The Batman stumbles, almost tripping over you as you pull him over yourself. As he’s busy trying to stabilize himself, you get up, shaking your shoulders, “Dimittis,” you mutter and the cuffs fall to the ground, and you blow him a kiss before running off. Batman squints his eyes and pursues, much to your delight.
#batman caped crusader x male reader#batman caped crusader x reader#the 20s one on prime because he has me in a chokehold#Like actual magic cause I'm funny like that and I think Batman would hate that he has to deal with actual fucking magic lmfao#magic reader again because I'm predictable#I want him to hold me against the wall and threaten me with a good time (derogatory) 👹#forgive me I haven’t been able to sleep since Friday night it’s Sunday now and I fear I have surpassed what eleven of normal stress a human#should undergo#I think I can fix him put an actual smile on that face#excuse my Latin I have no clue how it works besides sounding kinda cool#the bat in the magic hat 🎩 🪄✨
