challengers twitter pointed out something very cool: art's coach speaking to him in german!

the subs says "just invite her to serve." (which doesn't make any sense? and art doesn't even go to her after that lmao?) but he apparently actually says "wirf den ball etwas höher." which means "throw the ball a little higher.".

so art knows what patrick's house looks like which means he went there, he understands when his coach speaks to him in german and he's the only one who can pronounce "zweig", a german surname, the right way.

art learning german for patrick and spending holidays with him and his family is canon, i don't make the rules.

Finished the acotar books a year ago and all I wanna say is

Nesta is the best character and will always be famous.

I love the inner circle even if they have done some questionable things. It’s a fantasy world they do not have to live up to your modern day moralities.

Everyone of these characters could be morally grey and do things that morally grey characters typically do.

The Valkyries are my favorite found family and sjm peaked when she wrote their friendship.

The Gwynriel and Elucien book is going to make me so happy.

Cassian is a good person and is overhated largely in this fandom.

Nessian is my favorite fictional couple. They still have a lot of healing and growth to do together but that doesn’t make them bad. sjm took a more realistic approach at a relationship for them and people are thrown off by it. But it is clear they hold a lot of love for one another.

antis who want a fake nessian bond but are anti elriel for this reason will always be confusing to me.

Nesta is one of sjm’s best written characters. And she is way too overhated for the dumbest reasons.

Lucien is precious. I shall protect my preciousness.

Eris is a compelling character.

I love the books how they canonically are with some fanon mixed in. This doesn’t mean I have surface level thinking.

Some people take the books too seriously and make it more than what it is, sjm didn’t intend for this. Enjoy them how you wish but don’t make the fandom less enjoyable for others.

Slowly realizing that I was taught twice as much about the bubonic plague than I was about the shoah. I feel like that's telling. We never learned anything about the shoah specifically, just that the axis and allied powers existed, that Pearl Harbor happened, and we won. Because those are, apparently, the only important parts of WWII

there’s a lot of anti intellectualism on the internet again so let me just say:

i think you’re multi paragraph long character analysis is cool. i think you’re video essay on all the symbolism in an anime op is cool. i think the fact that you’re exercising you’re brain muscles is cool. a mutual on tiktok made a vid that was like “ppl treat watching anime and reading manga like a homework assignment 🙄” YEAH I DO! yeah i’m a former english major and you know what? if given the creative freedom i would’ve written anime analysis papers because it’s cool when ppl are passionate about what they like.

"I loved you... best I could"

No honey, you didn't even try… or at least not from the events we've seen. Maybe he was talking about old times? Because I can't recall anything he did or said that can make me think that Ed actually care so much for Izzy (but correct me if I'm wrong, there may have been little details that I didn't notice).

I love love love that the ccs will be forced to use the translator in order to communicate with the new ccs joining qsmp because that’s what it’s there for!!!!! it’s a translator!!! use it to translate, even if both of you are able to speak the same language!

I don’t see enough people use the translator, especially when the ccs are both able to speak (usually) english, and it’s still great that they can speak easier if they speak the same language, but the language barrier is one of the causes for the creation of the qsmp! Let the language barrier be a barrier in the first place, and let the translator do the work it was meant to do!

Let people who physically can’t speak the same language interact! It’s part of what makes qsmp qsmp, and even though it has impacted hugely just from adding people who generally create content and talk in different languages, I do think it somewhat lacks in the people speaking different languages category, because while that is true, it is also somewhat untrue in that all of the ccs can speak one of the same language (usually english), even if they’re not a natural at it!

Now, that’s not a bad thing at all! But, it does blur the speaking different languages problem that was meant to occur in qsmp. They speak different languages! Let them speak whatever language they want and let the translator do the work! Again, that is what it is there for! It is a translator! (I’m looking at you twitter)

And even if it takes a million repeats of the same sentence for someone to finally get what another person is trying to say, a hundred fuck-ups of the translation or a thousand language barrier/cultural miscommunications, again, qsmp was made for this to happen! It was made so people who come from different backgrounds and are usually unable to interact because of cultural/language barriers can interact, whether it start out negative or positive!

And I trust them (the ccs and fans) to communicate if controversy/confusion happens culturally and language-wise, and (hopefully) for the fans to not turn anything minor** into a huge drama, so I am extremely excited to see the ccs be forced into using the translator!

I just met up with a former classmate and she reminded me that we actually didn't learn shit in English class so I have a question:

Disclaimer: fluency does not mean "can pass for a native speaker" you can have an accent or have a few odd phrases here and there and still be fluent.

If you didn't have English as a foreign language subject, either because it was your native language or you didn't have English in school at all, feel free to reblog but please don't vote. I intentionally left it out because I knew it would skew the results.

[t4tozier]

the little kid i work with escaped the ukraine two years ago. my family immigrated in the 50s/60s to escape the turkish occupation in my papou’s village in greece. and it is both immensely heartbreaking and also insanely healing to help someone the way my grandparents weren’t helped when they got to this country.
