WIP MUSIC MONDAY

tagged over the past few weeks by @inafieldofdaisies, @aceghosts, @cassietrn, @socially-awkward-skeleton, and probably a few others (sorry i forgor...)

anyway. i have music now that the c*d brain worms are consuming me. here are 2 songs i'm vibing with for saoirse's relationship with the good captain. also sorry for the mid-to-late 2010s mainstream pop on this, my usual music tastes don't lend themselves to the "pining goobers" vibes these two have

i like to imagine this one is john circa late 2019/early 2020 (or post mw1 and pre mw2) where he's caught feelings and has it baaaaaaaad but has to ship off or is otherwise unable to be in the same city as saoirse

I could have showed you all the scars at the start But that was always the most difficult part See, I'm in love with how your soul's a mix of chaos and art And how you never try to keep 'em apart

I wrote some words and then I stared at my feet Became a coward when I needed to speak I guess love took on a different kind of meaning for me So when I go just know it kills me to leave

To all the stars that light the road Don't ever leave that girl so cold Never let me down, just lead me home

Don't tell me this is all for nothing I can only tell you one thing On the nights you feel outnumbered Baby, I'll be out there somewhere

and from saoirse's pov under the cut (apologies for the t. swift but this song never fails to make me soft for the otps ;w;)

Morning, his place Burnt toast, Sunday You keep his shirt He keeps his word And for once, you let go Of your fears and your ghosts One step, not much But it said enough You kiss on sidewalks You fight and you talk One night he wakes Strange look on his face Pauses, then says You're my best friend And you knew what it was He is in love

You can hear it in the silence, silence, you You can feel it on the way home, way home, you You can see it with the lights out, lights out You are in love, true love

Some ideas of possible beginner study activity/goals:

Beginner?

Study the alphabet of the language you are learning for a week, then for the rest of the month practice reading words in the alphabet (or practice trying to read then having an audio tool like an audio example or a dictionary-translate tool with audio-pronunciation and hear the real pronunciation after you try to read). The goal here is to get a basic grasp of the alphabet in a month. Example: Read through an explanation article, or textbook guide, or pronunciation webpage, on the Cyrillic alphabet and write down (or screenshot) a copy of the alphabet to practice reading. Then after the first week, practice reading words written in Cyrillic and use something like Google Translate to Text-To-Speech pronounce the words. (Or if you can find it, use some site with Cyrillic words already provided with audio, or some community anki deck with text and audio, or some youtube video lessons and mute them then listen to the audio after).

Find a pronunciation guide online, and go through it for a week (or find one in a textbook with audio files, or on youtube in lessons). For the rest of the month, practice by listening to audio and seeing if you can write down the words (or if they're words you know in text - see if you can recognize them only by hearing them). The goal here is to get a basic grasp of recognizing pronunciation of the language, so you can look up words easier, and speak in a way that is at least marginally understandable. Example: Go through a pronunciation guide for Chinese pinyin (I went through dongchinese's Pinyin Guide), then afterward practice a tone-pair quiz and single-tone quiz online to see if you can recognize which tone and syllable you're hearing. You can also practice by watching a chinese show (with English subs etc is fine) and practice typing the chinese words you hear in pinyin into a translator app (like Google Translate or Pleco), to see if you're hearing the word correctly. Bonus: if the show is showing Chinese subtitles (hanzi), then you can see if the pinyin you typed into a dictionary-translate app is suggesting the correct hanzi. You may have to write the hanzi you see in subtitles, into an app, to find it's pinyin and compare. Note: dictionary-translate apps may not recognize the pinyin word you type in, even if correct, if it's not the most commonly used word with that pinyin. So writing in hanzi and looking up the pinyin, to compare to what you guessed the pinyin was, may be the way you must search some less common words you hear. Study vocabulary for a week, then practice reading and remembering that vocabulary for the rest of the month. You can practice reading with show subtitles in the language, youtube subtitles in the language, comics, shows, graded readers, webnovels, novels, and news or other articles. Any kind of reading material you find manageable to try reading. If you're an absolute beginner, this reading may just be you watching a show with the language's subtitles (or dual subtitles) and trying to RECOGNIZE when you see a word you've studied, and trying to remember what it meant. This activity can alternatively be done with a focus on listening recognition of new words, just focus on listening to the show you watch to hear words you know, or if you can manage an audio drama or audiobook (even with an english/your native language transcript) then listening for the new words you studied and trying to recognize what they mean. If a word you studied comes up in listening/reading but you can't quite remember what it means, look the meaning up again for a moment. Then carry on. This is a very flexible study activity. You can choose to study 20 words from a wordlist (like a textbook, or graded reader vocabulary list), from a flashcard app (anki, pleco, a million SRS apps that exist with pre-made word decks), from a class, from new words you looked up recently while watching shows or reading. You can study 10-20 words, or 50, or 100, 300, 500, 1000. You can cram study all the new vocabulary in 1 week, or study some new words each week for the month. The main thing is you are focusing on increasing your vocabulary, so ensure you study a decent number of NEW words. As a beginner, common words in the language (such as a frequency list) or words you see often in the language based on what you engage in (such as watching a lot of crime cdramas and seeing 死 a lot, so you pick that word to learn early) are going to cause you to understand more of the language you see QUICKER. If you're reading graded readers already, picking words you don't know in the graded reader may be useful words for you to learn. As you learn more words, picking these new words from frequent words in novels you read and encounter may be a good choice.

This activity can be tailored to whatever study material you're already using and like: a textbook, a podcast, a show you're watching while looking up words, a graded reader, a novel, conversations you're regularly having with people. This is a fairly solid way to increase your passive vocabulary (words you understand the meaning of) by dozens to hundreds of words each month. The main idea is to make sure you pick some new words to learn, and then once you've studied them (even if only a little such as reading their translation you looked up once, or in a word list with translations once or a few times), then practice recognizing them. The practice recognizing them will help you improve your skills of comprehending quickly the words you've studied during real times you're trying to understand them, and remembering the words better.

i kinda want to 2 do a mountain dew base because i like mountain dew and also see it as a fairly neutral base. like u can put most flavors in it and have it turn out okay. but u cant put blue raspberry in pepsi/coca cola without that sounding weird ? i would say it's bad but i've never tried it idk it might be fine. but like. versatile

How cool it would be for Lilith to be able to modify her length depending on her partners mood, love it

Also I don’t know if I want to be with Lilith or be her or both and that’s making me questioning things lol So thank you for that
