German phrases and idioms.

A big marker of multilingual people are often the direct translations of idioms and phrases that cannot be literally translated into English. As such, this may be helpful for anyone roleplaying Nevarran / Anderfels muses (or German-speaking muses, idc)

You're free to like and reblog, but please do not add to it—especially in other languages. I will make separate posts on this and might follow up on this one. The following are in no particular order and are from several German-speaking countries.

"The last shirt has no pockets". (Das letzte Hemd hat keine Taschen.) The last shirt is the shroud, as the shroud is literally a "dead man's shirt", meaning you won't be able to take anything with you once you die.

"You're shaking the slapping tree" (Du rüttelst am Ohrfeigenbaum) You're about to get slapped if you go on like this.

"The music is playing here!" (Hier spielt die Musik!) Pay attention (to me)

"No dick is as hard as life" (Kein Schwanz ist so hart wie das Leben) You get the meaning.

"(I) Have the honour!" (Hab' die Ehre) / "Ich empfehle mich" (I recommend myself) Something you'd say when you're saying goodbye

"talking around the hot porridge" (Um den heißen Brei reden) Talking about an issue without naming it directly, avoiding the subject.

"This does not fit a cow's skin" (Dat geet op keng Kouhaut) This is outrageous.

"You have no idea about tooting and blowing!" (Du hast von Tuten und Blasen keine Ahnung) You don't know anything.

"I'll lie on my innards / tripes for a bit" (Ech léeë mech op d'Träip) I'll have a little nap

"Beautiful feathers make beautiful birds" (Schéi Fiedere maache schéi Vullen) Nice clothing makes you look pretty

"washed with every water" (Mit allen Wassern gewaschen) Been through / seen it all

"What I don't know doesn't make me hot" (Was ich nicht weiß, macht mich nicht heiß) I don't care about what I don't know

"cold coffee" (Kale Kaffi) Old news

"Everything has an end, only the sausage has two" (Alles hat in Ende, nur die Wurst hat zwei) Nothing lasts forever.

"wanting an extra/special sausage" (Eine Extrawurst verlangen) wanting special treatment

"Everything's in butter" (Alles in Butter) All's good.

"Butter with the fish" (Butter bei die Fische) Cut to the chase, be honest.

"It's jacket like trousers" (Es ist Jacke wie Hose) It doesn't matter.

"You already saw horses throwing up" (Man hat schon Pferde kotzen sehen) Crazier/worse things have happened.

"It's the yolk (literally: the yellow) from the egg." (Es ist das Gelbe vom Ei) It's the absolute best - the bee's knees. Coincidentally, "this is not the yellow from the egg" is a big meme in Germany.

accessibility > aesthetics.

it's been said many times, but accessibility in the rpc is a real issue - i have seen quite a few people tag graphics with eyestrain, which is good, but we can do more. particularly when it comes to fonts as screen readers cannot read some of the fonts used and, honestly, the rpc in general tends to over-format their posts. aesthetics is one thing, but you really don't need 7 different fonts and styles in your posts ( personally i only really use it for character names so the post doesn't get thrown into the char tags even though it's untagged, thanks tumblr! ) though most often i see it used for headings which i think is fine in small doses - but it's quite common to see several fonts, styles and colours in peoples posts which is far less accessible. spacing is a complicated matter as personally it makes things much harder for me to read and i know several roleplayers who have said the same, but have also seen people argue that it makes things easier for others to read. it differs person for person, so it's best to ask! similarly, whilst it's rare i do see it still - posting your replies as images completely disregards accessibility.

below is a list of those that it can read and those it cannot - when in doubt, it doesn't hurt to temporarily use a screen reader to double check or asking the person you are writing with if it's a thread. make your writing and your blog accessible and ask if those you are writing with need any particular formatting in order to assist with any dyslexia or visibility problems. when plotting or discussing threads, it only takes a few seconds to ask "hey, do you need anything specific regarding accessibility or visibility in these posts?"

unfortunately i am unable to test all available screen readers that are available, so if you have any additions do let me know! i have tested on a few screen readers and text-to-speech programs: ttsreader, ChromeVox, Pericles: screen reader extension on chrome and firefox, NVDA (windows), murfai, tts by Readme, Screen Reader by UserWay, Google text-to-speech, NaturalReader text-to-speech and textmagic.

these fonts work:

ｔｈｉｓ　ｆｏｎｔ

these ones may or may not work depending on the text-to-speech or screenreader. they appear to work on textmagic, on Screen reader by UserWay, Pericles: screen reader extension on chrome and firefox, and google text-to-speech. i have tested it with ChromeVox and these fonts sometimes work and sometimes don't for some reaso - if i would suggest that if you are in doubt, ask:

𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒏𝒕

𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐧𝐭

𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗻𝘁

𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙣𝙩

these fonts do not work with most screen readers / tss:

𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔰 𝔣𝔬𝔫𝔱 ( works with Pericles )

𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖘 𝖋𝖔𝖓𝖙 ( works with Pericles )

ᵗʰⁱˢ ᶠᵒⁿᵗ

ᴛʜɪs ꜰᴏɴᴛ

​🇹​​🇭​​🇮​​🇸​ ​🇫​​🇴​​🇳​​🇹​

ₜₕᵢₛ fₒₙₜ

ᵗʰⁱˢ ᶠᵒⁿᵗ​

𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕗𝕠𝕟𝕥 ( works with Pericles )

𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚏𝚘𝚗𝚝 ( works with Pericles )

𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒻ℴ𝓃𝓉 ( works with Pericles )

𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓯𝓸𝓷𝓽 ( works with Pericles )

тнιѕ ƒσηт

t̷h̷i̷s̷ ̷f̷o̷n̷t

those that don't work simply will not read out the words, skipping them altogether if there is text it can read either side of it, resulting in large amounts of text being unread. if you absolutely have to use several fonts or large amounts of text in these fonts ( i wouldn't think so, though ) then please add "captions" below the text, possibly in a blockquote or read-more, where the text is plainly typed so it can be read.

t̸̡̧̪̣̯̼̠̺̠͉̼̍͜͜͠ͅh̷͎̜̠̺̫̘̒͊̈i̸̡͗̔̉̾̚͝͝ṣ̸̢̥̮͚̲͎̣̉̏̈́̂ ̵̮̞͇̪̼̳͈͚͉̻̬͈͑̄̍͌̓͊̽̌̍͆͒͝f̷̡̢̡̫͎̲̻̼̤̪̠̪͍͔͒͌͊̈́̔̄̀̉̈́͛̕ơ̸̞͚̗̣͇̜̫͍͋̓̐͒̓̒͌͐n̷̛̗͍̈́̎͐̌̈͆̂͆͒̒̚ṱ̷̨̤͚̓͑̒͌̒͌̎̀̕͝͝

the above "cursed text" font...kind of works? it reads it out letter by letter, as does t͎h͎i͎s͎ ͎f͎o͎n͎t͎, so i would recommend against using them for anything but short single words.

please keep this in mind and try to make your blog accessible!

UNIVERSE INFO:

My Miraculous Ladybug AU!

🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞

General Info:

This universe takes place in Paris, France, 2024.

Living in Paris literally sucks. Everyday you have to worry about getting fucking akumatized because you stubbed your toe. Nobody knows exactly what Hawk Moth wants, or how he got into power. However everyone knows that two teenagers are fully capable of beating a grown ass man.

In a normal school, some of the students have these magical objects called Miraculous, which allows them to turn into superheroes. However, is being given the power of a god really the best move? The holder of the Miraculous seems to think so… for some reason…

Blix: WHEEZE and Blix is at 5'5" Blix: I think sometimes she refuses to crane her neck to make eye contact with Indarris so she'll just talk at his ribcage Blix: bonus points if he just looks directly over her head during a conversation as a bit Indy: You know he tries to be seated as much as possible any time they're speaking tho Blix: LMFAO oh for sure but Blix has zero problems with acknowledging she's much shorter than a kaldorei Indy: he just quietly informed me it's so he doesn't get tension headaches from looking down at her Blix: blix completely understands and respects this due to Neck Pain Blix: I have also just learned that most residential doors are between 6'7" and 6'9" this made me look at the nearest doorframe in MY house and then look up another two feet and Oh holy fuck Indy is huge. Indy: Yep! I was like "I made a family of monsters" Blix: jfkJKETKE Blix: me, whispering: giant woman Blix: I don't understand for a SECOND how Blix looked at her and went "yeah, I could take her on in a fight"

absolutely love how early on in the Oregon Parks promo campaign everyone was under the tweets being like "alex what is this" "alex we know it's you" "what are you plotting alex" and now everyone is screaming and crying in the replies for Park Ranger Gus Burnside and asking if he's okay

he got the fandom invested in his twitter roleplay character in the span of ~a week. i'm afraid there's nobody doing it like him— anyone who thinks they can pull off a Gravity Falls revival hoax/troll/etc should quit while they're ahead, truly

Introducing the Star Wars Reference Wiki!

Introducing the Star Wars Fic Reference Wiki, a wiki for fic writers by fic writers!

The Star Wars Fic Reference Wiki is intended as a way for fic writers and other fanwork creators to easily look up pertinent information without having to slog through dense paragraphs or comb through categories with dozens or even hundreds of entries with few indicators of what the pages are. Do you want lists? Do you want tables? Do you want easily digestible bullet points? We've got 'em!

We build pages from common questions we or other fic writers have, such as:

All these fics incorporate events from Jedi Apprentice, but what really happened to Obi-Wan Kenobi in Legends?

How do the stories in Revenge of the Sith and The Clone Wars mesh together?

Which characters are LGBTQIA+? Who are some LGBTQIA+ creators��who have worked on a Star War? How about a timeline of LGBTQIA+ people and content?

BBY/ABY, BrS/GrS, BFE/AFE... what's the difference between these and all those other calendars? What calendar do characters use before the Battle of Yavin?

What are some idioms or kriffing swears this character could use to sound more Star Wars-y?

Does the GFFA have its own version of a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup?

What could be used as a pack animal in one of the many, many deserts?

Why does this fic call him "Yan" or "Glamnor" Dooku? Is her full name Padmé Amidala Naberrie or something else?

How many costumes does Padmé wear? What about other SW costumes?

What are some canonical design options for a Kiffar OC's facial tattoo?

Are these the droids you're looking for?

Are you constantly losing those handy tumblr posts compiling useful resources? We have a permanent page for that!

(Swears in light mode; LGBTQIA+ characters in dark mode)

We've only recently started building the wiki, and are creating new pages all the time! We'd love help or suggestions for new pages. Have you never edited a wiki before? No problem! We have a tutorial for that. Are you not super confident about your English? No worries! Other wiki editors are here to help! We have a Discord server for the wiki, and side channels for things like SW fic recs and general fan chat.

Thank you for initial brainstorming and showing us there was an interest in and audience for this wiki, from us (facingthenorthwind and immithrax) to you: @nimata-beroya, @cacodaemonia, @elismor, @genericficerblog, @seth-shitposts, @takadasaiko, and @virusq!

Many hands make great wikis, so please, come on over and join us, and check back to see what new things we have in store! If you find our pages useful, we'd also love if you could spread the word, so other people can make use of the resources we've worked hard to create.

Brief Personality: Kaguya is a very monotone person. He has a tendency to push people away from him by making himself as boring and unapproachable as possible. But in reality he’s just really awkward. He is the type of person who much rather stay at home with a bunch of books than go outside and hang out with his friends.

Brief Backstory: Kaguya was born without a name, somewhere on the moon. His parents kicked him off the moon and he plummeted down to earth. He was found by a local orphanage due to his crying.

He never really knew why his parents abandoned him.. But he did know that humans weren’t much better.. His peers would bully him for most of his life due to him not being like them.

He lost himself in fairytales, reading every book he could. He thought if he lost himself in the stories and his role as a god, everything would be alright.

However, now Kaguya is very standoffish. Not even giving people the privilege of speaking his real name. Instead wanting to be referred too as “Kami” or “God”.. He is a bit of an odd ball..

Many people have hurt Kaguya over the years, causing him to retreat further and further into his shell. However lately a few cracks have been shown.

Hi you rp

Not on the main blog, but yes! @lokiverserp would be the one I would usually respond with. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me too: or for that matter we can DM only if you'd simply prefer to continue talking about it there rather than replying openly.

I don't have a lot of RP partners here on tumblr, so if we started up (and yes I am okay with most OCs, like Blaze) it wouldn't be hard for me to keep up. My schedule is mostly open/flexible at the moment, as the place I worked at for my second just closed down & they won't be needing me for a few weeks to a month; giving me a lot more free time.

As for the muses; the name is what it is because there are MANY more to pick from: but my absolutely most comfortable are MCU-based Loki (the original characterization: not Waititi/series characterization), Tony, and Barton.

@kleenexwoman Mangos!

You know how corn was selectively bred out of grasses, and bananas used to have tons of rocky seeds, and avocados used to be like 90% pit, and watermelons once looked

like this?

I think we should breed the pits out of mangoes

If your muse is meeting post-OFMD canon Edward, they are not meeting Blackbeard...

They're probably meeting...Edward (or simply "Ed")

Or, more likely... The Kraken

Image Source Please do not reblog, this is for RP reference only. Look to the source if you want the images.

(Note: I do not play Edward with DID. I play him with an unstable concept of self and a tendency towards mirroring.)
