RIP Michael Gambon (19.10.1940 - 28.9.2023)
"Paul Schofield said something like, 'If I'm not acting in a play, I don't really exist.' Those weren't the exact words, but he meant it's only when I'm acting in a play that I've got something to say about the world. And then why should I talk, when people can come to see it?"
"Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me."

Gambon's sadistic soldier is very nearly a caricature of needless evil but he keeps#it just the right side of believability‚ resulting in one of the most disturbing + unsettling perfs of its type. rip to a very fine actor

It's funny learning both japanese and chinese because in chinese when chinese learners complain about difficult words they are those that have simple strokes, about 3 or less pinyin pronunciations but have 58 different meanings and need specific usages where as in japanese, the difficult kanjis have 40 strokes like they've clawed all the way to earth from hell and have 80 different pronunciation but the meaning is pretty much the same across the words. So when I see chinese learners complain about a difficult word it's "guys, I think we should've left this word to die in classical chinese" but when japanese learners complain about a difficult word my response is either "that's just 8 radicals on top of each other. that's not hard" or "who angered a kami of kunyomi dominion, my god."
#studyblr#langblr#japanese language#chinese language#chinese langblr#japanese studyblr#chinese studyblr#don't mind the korean learners they're crying in the corner#because there's no way to differentiate hanja based advanced words that sound the same#you might think well it can't be bad but they're actively dying from the mountain of vocabs they're supposed to know#because “you can read all of them so you should know all of them” jfc

Swiss using his face/head to express affection.
Okay, I know what I mean isn't clear here, so let me elaborate :
Him sweetly rubbing his face against Aether's shoulder in the morning as they make breakfast, just like a giant cat. Headbutting Dew excitedly - you can't tell me those two aren't headbutting maniacs - and lightly poking Mountain with his horns to gain his attention. Pressing his forehead to Cirrus' temple while dropping a kiss to her cheek. Resting his forehead against Phantom's to comfort him after he wakes up from a nightmare. Burrying his face in Cumulus' hair and wrapping his arms around her from behind. Purposefully tangling his horns with Aurora's to make her giggle. Resting his chin on top of Rain's head during movie night. Smushing his cheek against Sunshine's while trapping her in a surprise hug.
#I just think his love language is physical touch#swiss ghoul#dewdrop ghoul#aether ghoul#rain ghoul#phantom ghoul#cirrus ghoulette#cumulus ghoulette#aurora ghoulette#sunshine ghoulette#mountain ghoul#nameless ghouls#the band ghost

Vurur alu Ingyentsim Ayramä hasey sìmi! Just finished the Secrets of the Spires story!
#i'll make a post about story/gameplay thoughts on it later#for now enjoy some screenshot spam#avatar#frontiers of pandora#afop#secrets of the spires#sarentu#rasi#lì'fya leNa'vi#small language note: there's not really a specific word for “secret” nor “spire”#so what I wrote is actually more like “mystery of the mountains”#close enough#I considered using “asip” for spire (means “tall thin pile of something” or “tower”)#because I feel like “asip tskxeyä” (“tower of rocks”) fits the bill for “spire” pretty well#but the only example sentence we have for it is “someone built a tower of bones in the forest”#so I'm not 100% certain whether it also applies to natural structures or if it implies that someone/something made the pile#so i went with the safer but somewhat less interesting “ram” (“mountain”)#(asip might still be perfectly valid! i'm just not certain)#buuuuuut i guess “ingentsim ayramä” is just a tad more succinct than “ingyentsim ayasipä tskxeyä” anways#let's avoid stacking genitives if we can lol#although....hmm....I guess it's not like it strictly NEEDS the tskxe part.......#meh whatever i'm just gonna post this before I have more time to overthink and change my mind 😅

Rain: Isn't it weird that we can't ride any other animal except horses? If horses weren't a thing, we would be fucked cause we couldn't ride any other animals. Riding animals wouldn't really be a thing. We should probably be more grateful to horses Swiss: Elephants Rain: Blocked Mountain: Camels Rain: Extra blocked Dewdrop: Donkeys Rain: Ultra blocked Aether: That dick Rain: Followed and subscribed

The Fortress of Guaita on Monte Titano, San Marino
Monte Titano has three towered peaks overlooking Città di San Marino. The fortress of Guaita is the oldest and the most famous. It was built in the 11th century.
The obsolete Italian word 'guaita' is still in use in Città. It means 'watchman' or 'guard'.

ngl the english language really peaked with “this is a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation”
#I don’t need to watch the movie I’ve already seen the best part - this line#it’s just so satisfying to say#things I mutter under my breath multiple times a week#covers any negative experience possible#brokeback mountain#english#language
