I donāt get why people feel like the Duolingo owl is threatening, if I ever feel like he is I just get mad at him. I could fight an owl. I donāt know if Iād win, but I donāt think Iād lose (two things that can apparently coexist). I think Iād survive at least and thatās not really winning but also not losing.
You wanna be so threatening? Da bĆør du drepe meg!
#emma posts#I used google translate for help because they havenāt taught me the phrase ākill meā yet#taught me the word for beer Ćøle but not the more important words like ākillā#as far as I can tell everything else in that sentence checks out so I figured the translation was good enough#not sure if itās in the right order or if you use better that way in Norwegian. but good enough for a tumblr flop post#Emmaās adventures in using Duolingo#I should honestly use that as a tag for it#I post enough venting about that app#until I find out if Iām dyslexic for sure and thereās a way to help that with other languages. Iām not going to pay for Babbel yet#Babbel has Icelandic lessons too I think and that is my final boss tbh#Iāve been going from easiest for English speakers to hardest as my plan#and it turns out that I forgot how much some of my issues affect learning new languages#last time I learned another language it was Spanish and Iām not fluent but Iāve had classes and been around it for so long#that i kinda forgot what itās like to start from scratch#I didnāt start trying to learn Norwegian until I was 26#or was it my 27th birthday? I could check my streak#I was like āpsh. it will be harder with my disabilities. but I should be able to read. my top priority with this languageā#and then I realized I had been somehow adapting to the other two languages since childhood and forgot how much I had to work around#I mean. I knew I was worse at language arts in school than I was in literature and writing. but still#I also already knew I was worse at making new sentences in other languages than I was figuring out ones that someone else made#but I thought that was just because I hadnāt used Spanish much for several years now#every time I try to re-learn Spanish it just ends up with me being able to figure out what someone said to me but not how to answer#if i brushed up on it again i could probably have a conversation with someone who understood English but better spoke Spanish#someone with the same problem as me but reversed language wise#please donāt take this as me saying I could currently have an entire conversation with someone speaking Spanish#Iām better than someone who never learned it and didnāt encounter itās use a lot. but I really donāt think I could have a real conversation#not at the moment at least#I have been meaning to brush up on Spanish again too. there are at least real classes in my area for it and not just an app#the last time there were Norwegian classes around here my dad was in college and old people still spoke it#no one around here speaks it anymore

Friendly reminder; don't make queer ships straight by making one of them a woman! If you want one to be a woman, both should be women. You can't just make the small twink character a girl and not make his big buff counterpart also a girl it feels gross and fetishy cause at that point why are you shipping queer ships at all? Just find a straight ship? Subtract the twink from the equation all together you don't have to make him a woman to make the ship better in some way, he's adding nothing if you make him a girl then it's just the same ship we have a million times in any other media. Gay erasure in fandom space is so annoying cause it's like YOU LIKE THE GAY SHIP OBVIOUSLY, WHY ARE YOU MAKING THEM STRAIGHT??
#star child speaks#im sorry#this made me heated#at the end of the day everyone is gonna do what they want#and everyone deserves a space to enjoy what they like#but that doesn't mean i have tonlike it and im here to make that everyones problem#an extremely goofy movie#a goofy movie#tankley#what no i didnt tag the ship who did that *looks around*#i love tankley because they have such a unique dynamic#ship wise not friend wise they have a very stereotypical friendship#off topic idek what im talking about anymore#keith rambles#that should be a tag#OMG WAIT#moreid#STOP FKRCIBLY FEMINIZINING MY TWINKS BRO#criminal minds#theyre the only ones i relate to its disrespect

to love someone is to heal someone
#~ art#š memoryshipping#ignore tags if youre just here for the art and not me going full diary mode#anyways ... this is a little personal to me#especially with how i treat her here. i think this is a direct projection of how i'm feeling right now#today has been a little harsh on me - maybe a little painful even#i'm okay now - because i resolved it. albeit harboring some bits of anger to it but its not worth fighting about anymore#its hard to say that i'm - very optimistic so to speak because it's only one pillar i just jumped over and there will be more later#and this is me coping with it and im lucky to have mustered some energy to at least express it through drawing#i havent been drawing much for myself and it makes me sad because its my source of happiness#my time for drawing is being repurposed for other stuff right now and it still is and i dont feel entirely happy doing it unfortunately#i still have many things i want to follow up on my drawing list especially in my recent interests peaking again#but i resorted for now to making something im already used to. stevaide lol fgsjsddsjjsdjkghsdjgdjkhskjghshsgsasjhjsjksdjfhsfasgs corny ass#rest assured im at a somewhat relaxed state right now. throwing boops here and there calmed me down because theres people around me#who ig thinks im cool eajdhajhd#ahh anyway

#i dont think iāve talked my nonverbal!Diluc hc on here yet#but i keep seeing posts abt disability/chronjcally ill/neurodivergent hcs for genshin characters so hereās one from me#idk i feel like after That Nightā¢ļø and being on the run from the Fatui/working with a secret organization#diluc not just learns the āvalueā of keeping secrets and staying quiet but also internalizes his guilt and trauma of saying smth that could#hurt people#it started with him telling Kaeya that heās not a Ragnvindr anymore and then is exacerbated by his 3-4 Year Fatui Murder Rampage thru Teyvat#and with all ghat trauma and self-deprecation and paranoia he just. stops talking.#he picks up sign language in Fontaine and still writes but at some point he just stops talking and never speaks again#when he comes back to Mondstadt it was hard to adjust to for both him and the people around him#Kaeya initially assumes that Diluc just refuses to talk to him until he later hears gossip abt how no one has ever heard him speak since he#came back. he goes to Adelinde and/or Elzer abt it and they tell him that they neve even hear Diluc so much as hum or grunt#afterwards everyone changes up real fastā Kaeya and Venti drinking at the bar and seemingly just talking at Diluc but theyāre always#observing his reactions and body language even when theyāre drunk#Jean tries her best to be patient but she has a hard time reading him bc heās changed so much in the time heās been gone#Adelinde & Elzer and the winery staff are the most communicative heās withā Diluc is far more likely to write with them to communicate#at some point Diluc has a business meeting with some rich dude from Fontaine or smth#Kaeya walks in bc he has an actual important mission thinf to discuss and he sees Diluc and this Fontaine dude and the dudeās wife#moving their hands so fast and with all kinds of gestured and stuff#and itās the first time Kaeya sees Diluc look so EXPRESSIVEā heās frowning and raising his eyebrows and mouthing words and all this#and Kaeya just goes āwhatā#turns out the Fontainian dude is deaf and both him and his hearing wife know sign; she helps interpret this to kaeya for the dude and Diluc#and Kaeya is like āoh okayā and goes to the kitchen like āiāll just wait here till yall are finishedā#and he sees Adelinde and Elzer there with stoic faces and they just. stand there in quiet for so long.#Kaeya finally says āā¦..so. sign language huhā and Adelinde and Elzer have the most pained looks on their faces#later that week Diluc finds like everyone around suddenly doing basic signs with him#he later learns that the winery has ordered a shitton of signing books from Fontaine and are trying to learn#+ Kaeya and Jean too with help from Lisa bc like dont you know learning several languages is a requirement for graduation from the Akademiya#soon the use of sign starts spreading in Mondstadtā there might be some small communities where they have their own native sign but itās not#as standardized nor widely known as it is in Fontaine#this is getting really long so Iāll stop here but yeah. nonverbal Diluc who signs fjskdjs

being jewish with zero affiliation to israel and rather a generational line of activists for palestine is a hard line to walk and sometimes i wish i could just fall off
#i hate zionist jews i hate i stand with israel signs in my neighborhood i hate leftists who write and speak and act like theyve never met an#actual jewish person in their life and believe that were all genocidal monsters (in spite of our own genocide which i assume will eventuall#flip around to leftist holocaust denial) i hate that people are blaming israeli civilians for the faults of their deeply corrupt government#i hate that i cant say zionism is inherently antsemitic without getting fucking maimed i fucking hate it here the world is on fire just#fucking let me burn#anyways#sorry#free palestine#any other#jumblr#girlies (gn) relating to my vent#bc im started to feel ashamed of myself my culture and my people#and its such a fucking shitty feeling#like i can barely look in palestine / gaza / etc. tag without seeing blindingly blatant antisemitism coming from left right and center#like just say you hate jews and fuck off#i cant look at this shit anymore fuck#idk why im so worked up about this rn i just. btwn weeding out all the zionist blogs i didnt know i followed and just being so fucking-#and weeding out all the antisemitic leftist blogs i didnt know i was supporting its all just crashing down#im so fucking tired#and im so fucking tired of having to defend myself any time i talk about the jewish experience in any of this#and im so fucking tired of people equating judaism with religion only#and im so fucking tired of the double standard of also equating with only one race#like there arent jews of every race#the reason you cant see any of this shit is because nearly a century later were still dealing with the aftermath of the 6mil person murder#were always at the cross roads of some ridiculous double standard or the scapegoat for when things are going badly#like fuck i just#dont want to have this fucking identity anymore it makes me a walking talking breathing living fucking target#idk what to do I'm just#desolate

New Scotland Yard: We Do What We Can (2.11, LWT, 1972)
"I have to be careful."
"You're big and ugly enough to look after yourself."
"Not with this little firm I'm not."
"Which firm?"
"Jimmy Sutton's. He don't believe in straighteners. Goes in for surgery."
"Surgery?"
"Amputation with a sawn-off shotgun."
"Ah. Well, you can always apply for a claim at the Criminal Injuries Board."
"I wouldn't have a leg to stand on, would I?"
#new scotland yard#we do what we can#1972#lwt#classic tv#tony hoare#john reardon#john woodvine#john carlisle#robert morris#susan glanville#stanley lebor#frank jarvis#michael balfour#peter childs#natalie kent#dennis blanch#donald maciver#a fairly unusual script; this series hasn't been particularly continuity focusedā just handwaving a few details about our leads#homelives etcā but this episode features a specific call back to a previous case (Ward's failure to prove the guilt of Ray Lonnen's#gangster back in 2.5) as well as featuring a returning minor character (Balfour's seedy informantā a pivotal part of the plot of the#previous episodeā here having more of a cameo sort of role to get some vital exposition across to Ward)#the plot concerns a planned wages snatch (there's a time capsule for you; nobody snatches wages anymore but then i suppose electronic#banking has put paid to it). the villains of the piece are a triumvirate of classic telly faces: future sitcom stalwart Lebor as the#vicious leaderā Public Eye's Ron Gash himself Peter Childs as the quieter member of the gangā and good old Frank Jarvis (speaking in an#unnaturally gruff voice) as the wide boy. they're involving another ex con thoā who happens to be one that Ward helped to get a job and#turn his life around (very out of character for Ward tbh...). cue much skulking and sleuthing. it's a solid ep really but there's a brief#side plot concerning an elderly police widow fallen on hard times that sits awkwardly with the rest of the ep; it's not that it's a bad#side plotā exactlyā actually it's quite affecting; it's just that it's very briefly handledā and stood to be further developed or given a#weightier position in the plotā rather than two brief scenes in the first half that are never referenced in the second

Ive officially exited my " oh God! I don't wanna get called out and harassed by the mogai community! I value this community but I hate all the inner policing! I'm so scared to say anything and accidentally upset people, I'm just gonna be quiet and hide" era and entered my " fuck off, get blocked and glocked. Im here to post flags and identities and that's fuckin it. I litterally don't care anymore, nothing you say is based in reality or matters outside of this horrendous site. No one is thinking about any of this other than you and like 500 other people, if that, so I'm not apologizing for shit." era so watch out for the debris.
#clover speaks#i dont care anymore lol#ive been really quiet for awhile but honestly its not worth it#if i piss you off cause i stood up for myself or said something that wasnt worded in your perfect little ways#just take your ass and leave#if you genuinely care about all the little shit you have lining your dni about inate online identities that will never see sunlight#you have bigger problems than me saying something on this webbed sight that dosent 10000% align with everything you've ever believed#im not clarifying anything this is not a safe space its a blog with flags and identities#you will have to face people who disagree with you in your daily life and cope with it#btw this wasnt particularly started by anything and isnt a vague or anything about any muturals or something#ive just decided finally that i dont care anymore and im just gonna do and interact with what i please#and if you stick around great#enjoy that#if not you wont be missed#bye šš¼#im just gonna start blocking people who say stupid shit that makes no sense for my mental health#i cant handle half this shit and i dont really need to so fuck it lol#im here for flags your here for flags who gives a litteral shit about identity 3748394747393847373838#no one will physically even say it irl because its so obscure#i will still call out people for doing stupid shit but im leaving this stage and making my own#fuck all that noise have fun and fuck off doing so#btw im not abandoning the community im still gonna make shit lol and so will sunny and ink#its just with alot less nice words and being pushed over

Iām (slowly) plotting out which sites to start repping my art -and hopefully a forthcoming art shop- on, and I was wondering if DeviantArt is worth the effort.
I havenāt touched my old account in years, even before DA made a lot of the UI changes that pissed everyone off, but since itās been a while Iām wondering if theyāve improved any? Are they worth spending what few spoons I have on getting set up & running an account again?
#DeviantArt#š Cryptid sighting#I canāt spread myself too thin across social media so Iām having to be picky where Iāll invest my time & energy into my shop brand#I donāt see anyone speaking about DA anymore -even about the bad stuff- so is it dead? Or does it just have a quietly satisfied user base?#I have a lot of fond memories from about a decade ago but thatās plenty of time for DA to have become irrelevant#Besides here- āIād like to get my insta (much as I hate the shitty troll culture over there) and Bluesky set up for getting my art out there#But Iād like to set up maybe one or two more places around the interwebs to post my work#Not sure what other socials are art centric or art friendly#Never joining the sinking ship of Twatter or TicTok if I can help it#And I donāt think Iām a good fit for Furaffinity ā¦ at least not yet#Any other sites yāall really like using for art stuff?

call me the epitome of multifandom today because I'm getting people following me for, and liking my The Glass Scientist stuff, People coming around for Fools Gold since the new episode dropped, and the very occasional constant like or two from people seeing my Rise of the TMNT things.
#I never knew how many fandoms I was in until I started dropping and getting new ones#no one is really around for my F&C stuff anymore though which I found a tad surprising.#WHAT I FIND MORE SUPRISING IS PEOPLE STILL FINDING MY RISE STUFF#HOW DID YOU GET HERE?!#THAT WAS LIKE- NEARLY A YEAR AGO NOW!#WHAT THE HECK-#I may make some more fools gold things some time in the future but for now m really more into Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde things#glass scientists included-#and that secret second thing that I'm keeping secret until its done#and has a proper name because its current one just is not It.#which- I also- did not expect to get followers from TGS by the way- I was just making a funny haha because I really liked TGS and the-#-exsisting funny little posts like mine- that I mimicked#why- are you following me-?#who are you wonderful people?#sunset speaks

everytime i think im done ranting i remember something else LMFAO this one is extra long i hit tag limit god mf damn
#self#for instance.....my mom wants me to cut off everyone who is still tied to the school#and im so mad at myself for feeling a certain type of way when the campus manager called me not too long ago basically to tell me she doesnt#trust the girl who did this shit and she wasnt mad at me but was also mad at me for bringing her to her dads house#for reference we were trying to get a cat from the campus managers dads house LMFAO#and i honestly cannot wait to speak to her again and be like š god dammit you were right like you were every single time#i just dont understand the wiring in her head to think the shit she says and does to people is normal and okay and how she doesnt realize it#is literally a mental health break. when i finally told my mom the first thing she said was shes probably off her medication#which.....probably isnt wrong sadly coming from someone who has borderline and very easily can lose it#but the difference is i dont give in to the urges to try to hurt everyone around me in every way i can#and me and her have said before that we thought she might also have borderline because we were very similar#but god damn does she love proving that if she has it its extremely severe or its something else entirely#on an honest note. shes incredibly narcissistic and i know her mom is part of the reason shes that way bc she was given princess treatment#her entire fucking life and then doesnt understand when other people dont treat her the same way#i hate rambling about this and i hate it that it is bothering me so fucking bad but like ???#if youre going to decide that you can put our past aside period and move on then fucking do that and stop bringing the past up as a way to#hurt me and the people around you???? she acts like shes not done horrible fucking things to people. so sorry i wrote a letter that was very#honest at the time. so sorry that when you found out i apologized for it and said i regret it because 2 weeks after my apology i no longer#regret writing it. if its making school a living hell for you....theres probably a reason for that girlfriend#i am not the person who put that shit in your folder#though i seriously fucking doubt its actually in her folder shes probably assuming it is#and youre the one who made a complete ass of yourself to every educator that ever stepped foot in that building#that has nothing to do with me that you are a literal warning given to every new educator!!!! i havent even been in school there in months#yet IM the problem??? how am i the problem when i graduated in fucking january???? everything since then falls on you#AND YET AGAIN! MIGHT I MENTION! IT IS NOT JUST MY LETTER!!! THERES AT LEAST 2 OTHER ONES!!!!!#BECAUSE IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON SHE DOES THIS SHIT TO!!!!#god sometimes i sit back and realize that theres a reason she regresses as a person and i do not#im not going to sit still anymore and let someone walk all over me and she can thank herself for that#shes who taught me that blocking and running as fast as i can doesnt fix anything#so here we are bitch. youre not blocked and im sure youre sitting at home thinking about how youre right about everything

The 9th Michael Vey book is coming out in a week so I am once again apologizing in advance for the person I will become
#except not really bc Iām probably one of the last souls still reading#maybe Iāll make art again#itās been over two years since I made a Michael illustration. Iām due for another one#I have unfortunately passed through all 5 stages of grief last book and have finally accepted that thereās basically no more ts rep anymore#I think I counted one 1 hand every time michael mentioned his tics last book and Im mentally prepping myself this time around#itās ok tho Iām here for the characters at this point#speaking of characters#holding Richard at knife point#I swear to god if anything happens to Jack#that manās not a traitor thereās smthn else going on. I just need my man alive sir#anyway#counting down the days#I gotta reread book 8#(and count again and see if my math was right)

Beginning to really wonder how much of my financial concern is manufactured and handed to me as opposed to something I'm genuinely concerned by
#bc like. i'm getting by just fine. i don't have anything to be reasonably worried about#but also when i was a kid my father would break down my mother's paycheck and basically explain how broke we were#and that May Have Affected Me Somewhat#as well as just. the way you consistently see the advice to just save! don't get takeout! necessities! and i'm not intent on living like#a monk nor am i intent on being on that grindset for financial gain#it's like i don't intrinsically care but i have so many messages given to me about how i need to care a lot and it puts me in a weird spot#i am simultaneously standing still and moving at mach speeds#i mean right now i just need a safety net while in between jobs; after that i need to save up to move out of state bc the uh#political situation and upcoming presidential election don't seem very sustainable for someone like me anymore#they weren't to begin with but i don't wanna stick around to see how bad it's gonna get#but it's like. okay and then what? save for what? going back to school i guess? idk#i feel like i keep asking myself what i'm trying to accomplish and keep trying to force myself to have answers#here and now when i have to be okay with taking things one step at a time instead of having everything here and now#it's simultaneously fine and terrible and i am holding two conflicting yet equal truths#i feel i may have a clearer head once i leave my current job. i'm trying to look but nothing feels appealing given how#burnt out i already feel. i dread going back into my workplace and i fear it's showing to the patients and i don't want that#i want a month off to rediscover who i am as a person outside of getting yelled at in retail and then pick something back up#could be feasible. genuinely could be. i need to sort out the health insurance aspect but. that's lowkey the plan?#to construct a financial safety net and then slam on the breaks for a while; see if i can strike up a deal with the staff about me#coming in for specific tasks bc we already know i'm quick and efficient with the inventory so i do have a little leverage#you know what. this is getting some of it off my chest and i'm starting to feel confident again lmao#i won't be doing weekends starting either next week or the week after so that's a start! i just think i want everything done right now#bc i'm afraid i won't have the chance again but i will. i definitely will#i just need to let myself get to that point; it's just the immense drain from the register work and the Everything that comes with retail#also having to accept that it's okay to leave this; there's not something wrong with me like. ''not being able to handle it'' or w/e#no mindfulness or detachment could've saved me; it was shit and i'm hitting the bricks and that's all there is to it#i've been thinking a lot about it all lately bc it's what's most prominent in my life rn of course#idk. pondering. introspecting. as i am wont to do#anyways if you've read all this you're a real mvp and i am kissing you on the hand#shai speaks

Save me š„²
#omori au#sunnys sonata au#literally the only reason i haven't posted anything about the au in a while is just because I'm losing it over every single character#and most of them aren't even important/canon to omori canon or they just have a miniscule appearance/role#there are so many side characters and jokes With these side characters it's not even funny anymore#i dragged characters from completely different universes that have a tiny tie to omori into the sonata verse bc i thought it would be funny#Little Jack from the old OLD Halkenna verse is in this verse- Omoboy is in this verse- there are characters that had NO screentime in here#there are plots for fights that aren't on the main storyline. there are alternate endings that were literally never touched on anywhere#not even in the disc server where i jot down my ideas#i have aus of aus and literally for what#honestly I think the funniest bits of side plot I've developed have to do with rococo having to deal with sbf making summoning circles#either that or just the clone hearts all roaming around the world being a weird family and also being an obstacle to the main group#everything else is just very scattered development changes and add-ons to characters i already had planned. both main and side characters#Shattered Omori got a very. dark? design change. Hero and Aubrey were both slightly tweaked. The Twins's fused form was HEAVILY updated#that fused form had a lot of notes added to it.. how their emotions work. how they speak. their height. abilities. basically everything#i. actually just have a lot of notes for the twins lol#what can i say. i think they're neat
