#learning about it is great

[frogaroundandfindout]

the wild thing about the new titans era and all the editorial-induced story derailment that occurred is that I remember there are some issues of "the flash" that reference nightwing and starfire as being a married couple, that were produced during the time that was to be the original plan for them but the flash office didn't get the heads-up that plans had changed and those issues went to print.

Those issues take place in a better world 🫠

Duolingo Sucks, Now What?: A Guide

Now that the quality of Duolingo has fallen (even more) due to AI and people are more willing to make the jump here are just some alternative apps and what languages they have:

"I just want an identical experience to DL"

Busuu (Languages: Spanish, Japanese, French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Korean)

"I want a good audio-based app"

Language Transfer (Languages: French, Swahili, Italian, Greek, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, English for Spanish Speakers)

"I want a good audio-based app and money's no object"

Pimsleur (Literally so many languages)

Glossika (Also a lot of languages, but minority languages are free)

*anecdote: I borrowed my brother's Japanese Pimsleur CD as a kid and I still remember how to say the weather is nice over a decade later. You can find the CDs at libraries and "other" places I'm sure.

"I have a pretty neat library card"

Mango (Languages: So many and the endangered/Indigenous courses are free even if you don't have a library that has a partnership with Mango)

Transparent Language: (Languages: THE MOST! Also the one that has the widest variety of African languages! Perhaps the most diverse in ESL and learning a foreign language not in English)

"I want SRS flashcards and have an android"

AnkiDroid: (Theoretically all languages, pre-made decks can be found easily)

"I want SRS flashcards and I have an iphone"

AnkiApp: It's almost as good as AnkiDroid and free compared to the official Anki app for iphone

"I don't mind ads and just want to learn Korean"

lingory

"I want an app made for Mandarin that's BETTER than DL and has multiple languages to learn Mandarin in"

ChineseSkill (You can use their older version of the course for free)

"I don't like any of these apps you mentioned already, give me one more"

Bunpo: (Languages: Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Korean, and Mandarin)

I've seen too many times people saying Gale goes to sleep early or is a morning person but that's just not correct. The truth is right there in his Act 2 scene. Twice if you're romancing him.

It's literally so hard to miss but people really be stereotyping him as the nerd or whatever and then attribute a bunch of traits that they think are ~nerdy~ instead of looking at canon.

Ive always wondered.

Since fruit and grain consumption is so commonplace in Splatoon's culture. Wheres all the alcohol?

Inkfish society evolved almost the same as humans did, and one of humanity's first known inventions was the cultivation of alcohol through wild grain and fruits. It was also a neccesary process in ancient city-dwelling, as it could make unsafe water drinkable.

So the question stands, did Inkfish develop alcohol just as we did? Of course i doubt any mention of it in-game because its a (mostly) family friendly series.

Lookin at you Flight VS Invisibilty splatfest

they absolutely did develop alcohol!

>i doubt any mention of it in-game because its a (mostly) family friendly series you're in for a surprise bud

Squeezer using a champagne bottle is the most explicit in game example. Now for Flow, she canonically loves to drink. In JP she sounds loopy and mysterious when she speaks because she's... probably drunk.

Her name is Flow, a sea slug. She is a sales clerk at Headspace, a store that sells head gear. She always speaks as if she is drunk, giving off a mysterious air. She appears to be older than the Inklings, and seems to enjoy teasing the younger squids. Her companion, Craymond, is a considerate shrimp who gently watches over her.

This character trait of hers got censored in english, notably on the Splatoon Base website

the highlighted text in JP reads that she's "a drunkard who loves alcohol"

There is also this official artwork (my Favorite official art. btw.) of Sashimori, Hightide Era, and Bottom Feeders at a bar, with Bertie, Ryu Chang, and Taka at the counter drinking what looks to be alcohol.

Sometimes I think it's just scary to open up like that. To say how you really feel. Especially to people you care about the most. Because what if... what if they don't like the truth? // Sometimes people don’t really say what they’re really thinking. But, you capture the right moment… it says more. // I didn't say it. // You didn't have to.

one of the most important things terry pratchett has taught me is that it's okay to be angry. no one has ever said that to me before. he taught me that anger was an engine. that you can use that anger. that it goes hand in hand with love. he taught me to never underestimate my anger, because it's one of my strongest points. he taught me genuine anger was one of the world’s great creative forces. he taught me i shouldn't be fighting my anger, but what caused it. he himself said rage underlines everything he wrote. i never heard anger talked about so openly like that before and it's freeing, i suppose, to realize you are truly, truly not alone in your rage at the world. you never were.

ZHANMADAO IS THE ONLY SPIRITUAL WEAPON WITHOUT A NAME IN TGCF AND I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY MU QING DECIDED TO KEEP IT LIKE THAT.

Like, the cultivation and training meant a lot to him, he always tried to act properly regardless of his status AND YET HE DIDN'T GIVE HIS SABER A NAME??? naming a weapon is a big thing for a cultivator, the sword have spirits, yet he keeps calling it by its type???

NEED YOUR THOUGHT ON THAT

the thing about Irondad is that i can make reality whatever i want and what i want is Tony being a cringe failure when it comes to the parenting side of things and Peter simultaneously being like "yeah he is a fucking loser" and "he's super smart though and learning from him has been awesome" and "but if he would be my dad that'd be cool." like Peter is an unreliable and a biased narrator at the same time so he thinks Tony is cool but in my eyes I know what he is. Tony is actually like "i would die for this kid" but having an emotional conversation feels like he's been asked to drag his bare ass across hot coals. he doesn't even know where to begin to accomplish that task. which is why Peter says things like "oh he doesn't say a lot of things to me about how he feels but i can read between the lines" and in his mind Tony says things that mean another thing but never are *quite* that thing. usually jokes that talk about what he means without having to say it or be vulnerable. in his POV he's freaking out that Peter is missing to the point of being physically ill about it, yet Peter couldn't imagine it's that bad or because losing *him* is the cause of that problem. that's how Irondad really is, and i can make it better because canon is my bitch now
