Really curious about Ben's use of "them" throughout the gas station thing.
Are the attendant's pronouns they/them? Doesn't really come up. Seems pretty he/they.
Were there supposed to be two attendants in the original script? Or a differently-modeled character? I don't think Brock Powell's pronouns are they/them. Maybe Ben's just really general with his pronouns.
#they use singular nouns to refer to the attendant#so...maybe?#it's quite possible that Ben just uses they/them for any strangers he meets#could be a character quirk#swan watches chaos theory#this isn't really a gender thing so much as a production scripting thing#wouldn't surprise me if they had planned for two people there#then went ''eh one is easier''#jwct#chaos theory

if you want your legos spread out around you rather than in bins: you can turn the lids of large plastic containers upside-down to use them as big lego trays. they're still basically on the floor, but you can also move them around / out of the way (albeit a little less efficiently than with bins)
#anyone who gets snitty at me about “legos” rather than “lego” as a plural for lego bricks will be blocked. and I'm not joking#(^many adult lego fans are like that. wish I were making that up. it's a huge circlejerk for a lot of them)#(“ur dumb the plural is lego!!” well ACKSHUALLY the ONLY correct use of LEGO® as stipulated by The LEGO® Group#is as an adjective. a modifier. LEGO® elements. LEGO® bricks. LEGO® construction blocks. never as a noun whether plural or singular#this is all stated explicitly in their “Fair Play” policy. which I don't even give a shit about unless you smugly to try to ‘correct’ me!!!#seriously like the majority of adult fans of lego will be incredibly snide to you about it. god I hate adult lego fans. anyhow)

Austin is ready to beat YOU up??? You sure not the other way around??? 😭😭😭😭 ((he’s hot but let’s be real. He’s a pain.
I’m curious cuz WHAT DID YOU DO??? Did you break his camera??? Cuz I mean, that’s one way to piss a paparazzo off
#also TIL that the singular noun for ‘paparazzi’ is ‘paparazzo’#happy learning#anyways why do anons always leave such cryptic asks about what went down with my bots 😭😭#not that I’m complaining#it adds the suspense#anon <3

my professor gave me an 18/20 on my lab report for using “were” instead of “was” when the correct grammar is in fact “were” 😐
#like that’s the only thing he marked off so i can only assume it’s the only thing he found wrong with it#personal#the engineering chronicles#yes actually when you are talking abt two things you use ‘were.’ just because those two things are not one thing with an s at the end does#not mean two things together are not plural. hello#or possibly the issue he’s taking up with it is the prepositional phrase with a singular noun that’s before the ‘were.’ in which case#‘were’ is Still the correct choice here#sorry i am deeply annoyed. why are you as an engineering professor worried abt this and also wrong abt it

Awhile ago I made a post saying that my favourite dualistic Horus and Set epithet was rHwy, but I have since learned that there’s another spell in the Pyramid Texts that calls them snwy (which is just the number two in Egyptian), so I’ve changed my mind, that’s my favourite one. A dou so iconic that the Ancient Egyptians will literally just call them “the two” and expect you to figure it out.
The translations of this spell add another word usually to make this make sense, like “the two (assailants)” or “the two (contestants),” but that is not there in the Egyptian.
(The spell in question is Pyramid Text spell number 407/Pharaoh Teti’s spell number 284, if you want to have fun figuring out the huge mess that is Pyramid Text spell numbering in order to find it. The line in spell where this occurs is about the pharaoh deciding court cases, so that does make it pretty obvious which two gods they must be talking about, but this is still very funny.)
#egyptian mythology#egyptian gods#horus#set#seth#Heru#sutekh#the pyramid texts#If you’re wondering if this could be a mistake where they meant to write a second word and forgot: Egyptian doesn’t work like that actually#Egyptian nouns can be singular plural or dual#So in Egyptian you can just add a dual ending onto a noun to show there’s two of them the same way you add s to show plural in English#The Egyptian word for ‘lord’ is ‘nb’ and Horus and Set have another epithet ‘nbwy’#which means ‘the two lords’ because it has that dual ending#If the priests had wanted to say ‘the two something’ instead of ‘the two’ here they would have added -wy to a word instead of writing ‘two’#ava has thoughts#ancient egypt stuff#Do you like how I insist on putting all this context in whenever I make posts like this?#I can never just say something funny I noticed and then leave. I need to treat it like I’m writing a thesis.

If there's one thing i can always count on myself to do, it's make a decision way too far into a draft that will create work for myself
#I decided not to reveal a character's name in the writing until after they revealed it in story#so now i'm combing back through to delete every instance of it which could be done with a simple find and replace#but they're nonbinary and go by a single letter so it's both a pain to find#and i have to make sure i switch the verb conjugation from third person singular proper noun to third person plural pronoun#one time i decided 20k words into a draft to go from present to past tense#anyway doing the last past for my.... technically it counts as a novella. damn

Trying to figure out how drunk Russians were when they decided that три новых велосипеда is a reasonable declension and not a crime to humanity.
#the number is in Nominative the adjective in Genitive plural and the noun in Genitive singular#the feminine version IS DIFFERENT AS WELL#when the number is in Nominative the adjective is in Nominative plural and the noun is in Genitive singular.#WHY!#russian grammar is fucked up#uniposting

hugo really doing his darnedest to make sure i learn at least three different french words for "shithole"
#let's see we got galetas. we got taudis. we got bouge#i was thinking maybe gîte as well but when i look it up it seems more neutral#maybe it's that it kind of has the connotation of being for animals? or it used to? idk#oh and masure#there's also gargote but idk if i want to count that one or not. doesn't seem to have quite the same vibe#i finally looked up galetas today just to make sure i was pronouncing it right and guess what. i wasn't#i was like oh probably this is one of those s's at the ends of singular nouns that you actually pronounce. wrong!#i also looked up abject today because i'm never sure if i should be pronouncing the -ct on the end of adjectives or not#cuz i feel like sometimes suspect is suspect and sometimes it's suspe and i have NOT figured out the distinction#les mis#french#my posts#f#oh also if this is a safe space for my french pronunciation woes i really should know by now which -er adjectives have a mute r vs. not#but i don't :(#cheR and fieR but lége(mute r) and entie(mute r)? actually cher and fier feel right but it's léger and entier that trip me up#so maybe i should just assume that if pronouncing it with a mute r sounds at all like it could be a real form of the word‚ then it is#because fie(mute r) and che(mute r) feel very wrong#but lége(mute r) and entie(mute r)? ehhhhh. i guess?#i need to be listening to more actual french speakers not just talking to myself lol

Thought too hard about how I name Tieflings and started considering the role of "common" in DND and how different real life languages might fit in that framework. Needless to say now I want to write an essay but alas. Its midnight.
#conventionally ive always considered common to be equivalant to english#but that really only works in the anglosphere#because like. even amongst humans living in one area languages differ#let alone different countries and continents#so common must change depending on where you are#but theres no real way to differentiate that beyond roleplay#anyway all this to say-#my tiefling naming scheme is singular nouns or adjectives#typically representing abstract conceots or bearing significant meaning#parents name their offspring in an attempt to instill qualities into them#hence: Dynasty#his mother named him in an attempt to ensure he brought the family#honor for many centuries to come#hence doomed by the narrative he was lmao#i definitely stole this from somewhere but i forgor where#its been 6 years#baldur's gate 3 ocs#DND rambling#dnd

Characters I’m including in Wayne Empire whose monikers are impossible to naturally say:
Onomatopoeia: I literally cannot imagine anyone taking the time to pronounce that shit.
Abuse: any sentence regarding this guy sounds terrible out-of-context, and honestly still weird in-context.
#that’s why I only call Collin Wilkes by his full name.. my man your codename is unsalvagable#and also like… it’s not quite a plural noun but it also refers to something that isn’t singular#it’s wrong for a hero name collin that is a concept#wg speaks#wayne empire au

my brother is the silliest most whimsical man i've ever met and i am gnashing my teeth at the world for trying to crush his spirit
#his current favourite phrases are ''oh my days'' and adding ''-ington'' to any noun or interjection (''littington'' as opposed to ''lit'')#but the rarer and more excited ''huzzah'' has also been known to make an appearance in his vocab#making him laugh is like. my singular purpose most days. i love him so much#and i know he finds me deeply uncool in some regards (tumblr user) and i'm fine with it bc that's my job as older sister#anyway.#personal
