After months and months of build up trying to figure out who crash the utv, sapnap finally revealed it today. It was Tony 😭😭

*someone in chat asked who crashed the utv*

[sillyparker]

how long do you think tony waited to see if aunt may was alive after the snap? do you think he lived in denial pushing it away for as long as he can, or it was one of the first things he checked? do you think when he found no traces of her, he was relieved? jealous? a mix of both? i wonder how it must have felt to be the only person alive who still cares about peter parker, none of his friends were there anymore, absolutely nobody, hes there to carry the treasured memories and absolute weight of the loss alone .

"LOKI! Why are there spiders everywhere?!"

"Goodness. So there are. Just one moment."

He splays his hand and blasts the offending creatures with a flare of green, evaporating them at once. He doesn't have to tell Stark he placed the illusion there in the first place, right?

"You're safe now."

Happy Saturday y'all!!!!!!!

Everytime Peter and Tony get into an argument whether big or small, Peter always mumbles an apology right before storming off. He didn't get the chance to apologize to Ben about their argument before he died, And he won't let that happen again. He Won't.

I knew those two looked familiar together...

David Tennant as Tony Baddingham (Rivals) and Richard II Antony Byrne as Ginger Baines (Rivals) and Thomas Mowbray (Richard II)

I know deworming Luffy and Zoro was one of the first things Chopper did after joining the crew

zivaisms + the way he makes her laugh

"Okay, okay. You're in the nineties then." Torunn apologised even if she technically was still insulting him. But it was a known fact, she had just dramatised it a little, so that he could understand where the princess was coming from.

As Tony mentions how he did not have access to other realms resources, the blonde teenager cannot help but frown. "Then why don't you just go to another realm? Personally I'd recommend Vanaheim."

I know that your technology is still in the eighties. The audacity! "My technology is still years ahead of the others, thank you very much." This had been a real low blow in his opinion. What had he done to deserve this? He build the goddamn infinity gauntlet in his basement, defeated Thanos and saved the galaxy, nearly lost his own life in the process and he got sassed by a teenager just like that.

"Pretty sure I would still be better than the rest, if I had access to the same resources." He let out a small huff, crossing his arms over his chest.

How do you go about words and language in your worldbuilding? im curious about your method and also it just feels good to try to pronounce the words you use, I love it

Most of it started back-engineering languages based on character/creature/place names I put together before having any guidelines and just like a vague Vibe of what the language would sound like. Nowadays I have cfull naming languages for the major languages I will be using regularly, maintain glossaries, etc. Most of the words I have to worry about are in Wardi so that's the most detailed of all.

I think a good starting point is to make a decision on what consonant sounds you want to be present in any given language. I Did Not Do this until later but the best way to go if you're serious about it is to learn (or at least reference) the IPA so you have a very clear understanding of which phonemes are in the language rather than just going off letters (which can have multiple different pronunciations within the same language), and use it to make a naming language. (Should note I only have very entry level understanding of the IPA)

this guide for naming languages is pretty good and helps you understand the IPA and what its terms mean

[x] full IPA pronunciation guide

[x] if your first language is a North American English vernacular, this is just a good starting point to learn how the sounds You regularly use are represented in the IPA.

I think this step is really important if you want to have coherent pronunciation rules (and is just good for learning how languages work on the most basic level) but if you just need Words That Look Good On Paper In The Latin Alphabet you can somewhat narrow this down to choosing consonant sounds from This alphabet.

So like from that simplified angle Wardi doesn't have the sounds represented by the english Z V and X, I will not produce a word from that language containing these letters (backed myself into a corner early on by giving SEVERAL characters names with these letters. I was able to write around this very easily by having them be foreign names pronounced differently by native speakers, but stuck with the original spellings. This is an unresolved issue and I should really be spelling the names as 'Faitsa' 'Saitsen' 'Lifya' 'Stawis' for more clarity).

From the more complicated angle, Wardi does not have the /θ/ ('thorn') /ð/ ('thy') /z/ ('zebra') /ʒ/ ('genre') /v/ ('vowel') /æ/ ('atlas') sounds, which I use to inform spelling (so also avoiding 'th', and any 'g's that would intuitively be read as a soft G by an English speaker).

There's also sounds I've established as present here that are not present in/close analogues to sounds in English or directly representable by the Latin alphabet - /r/ (rolled r) /ɾ/ (post alveolar flap r) / t͡s/ (like 'tsetse') ((also I've been having difficulty determining what this sound is in the IPA, but a sort of flapped 'L'), (also dental clicks used as consonants in a rare few words and more frequently as an interjection that adds emphasis to words without changing their core information, and as a filler sound). I can't indicate most of these in spelling with any clarity so it's mostly for my own use.

Romanization in general is kind of tricky and is ultimately semi-arbitrary to begin with (presuming you're constructing a language for a setting in which the Latin alphabet doesn't exist). The best way to do it is a non-vibes based way where you set up rules for what letters represent which sounds. This is an area I've been sloppy with/have rules that aren't readily apparent ('ch' spellings in Wardi can denote either a /k/ ('cog') or 'tʃ' ('cherry') sound depending on surrounding vowels, lone 'c' always has a /k/ sound, with 'ch' used in its place where English speakers would otherwise presume a soft C. This means I shouldn't need to have Any words represented with a letter K whatsoever but a few have slipped through anyway).

I would say like, 25% of the words I've constructed are Entirely just putting Canonically Appropriate vowels and consonants together in a way that look good and stick to established rules. But in doing so once I establish a word and its meaning I'll try to pick out roots that I can use again when constructing words with related concepts.

So for an example where I did this in a ultra simple capacity of just Putting Roots Together:

An/ana- root pertaining to fresh water, clean water

Nae- root pertaining to a narrow pathway, implies carrying/movement

Pel/pele- root pertaining to saltwater, undrinkable water

Nau- root pertaining to something that holds/enfolds, mostly in an abstract/cosmological sense

From this:

Anae: river ('freshwater path')

Pelennau: ocean ('enfolding saltwater' (specifically influenced by cosmology in which the world is functionally an island atop an infinite sea)

Pelenae: estuary ('saltwater path')

These roots don't have to be limitations (the same assemblage of letters can occur in words that wouldn't have any obvious etymological relations to an established root), especially if you aren't setting out to make a fully fleshed out hard conlang, it just helps establish a sense of coherency and connectedness in a given language. (Also if you want your language to be really fleshed out you probably shouldn't Just do the 'mashing roots together' thing, pronunciation of words drifts away from their root components over time).

Anyway yeah that's the general methodology I use. I'm very new and entry level at conlanging so it's pretty simple and sloppy but it serves its purpose well enough.

Does the U.S. government know about tony?

They know about him, but they do not like that America has befriended an alien. America doesn't know how to keep a big secret like the existence of aliens. The solution? A psyop to give America a reputation for believing crazy conspiracy theories about aliens. Now nobody takes him seriously when he talks about his "alien roommate". They assume it's either a giant bit, or America is just really obsessed with aliens. Footage of Tony is usually either quickly deleted, or assumed to be bad CGI.
