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.

#challengers #art donaldson #patrick zweig #idk if a lot of people actually noticed that but i didn't so!!#showing intimacy in such subtle ways... challengers knows how to talk to me #artrick #patrickart #artpatrick #“ZWWWWEIG” lol #anyway putting little nice things like this for non english speakers only to understand is so cool #this with germans #pensiero stupendo for italians #“l'oeuf” track (beach scene) being pronounced “love” for the french #to me; a french person; “l'oeuf” sounds more like “laugh” but i don't see why it would be called like that #and “love” obviously fits the track and their discussion on the beach wayyyy more so #anyway i love it #idk if i prefer art learning german for patrick OR patrick teaching art some german #art wanting to learn SO patrick taught him is the best i think

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

#jumblr #jewish politics #jewish history #personal thoughts tag #antisemitism tw #shoah tw #shoah mention tw #i knew that the black plague killed ~33% of europe but not that the shoah killed over 50% of jews in europe. what's up with that.#i only 'discovered' and learned about this outside of school. one of the largest genocides in WORLD history? we don't need to teach that! 🫥#and i took MANY kinds of history classes in my (public) school. they were honors classes too! world history classes!!!!!!#i only took a class specific to the US three times (once for general US history then twice for state history classes)#wait! we did read one short story by elie wiesel in my AP english class. in my senior year of high school.#i can't specifically remember which story it was :/ it absolutely wasn't Night besause i read that on my own #no this isn't me saying that we shouldn't have learned about the plague - it was a horrific time period. but so was the shoah

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.

#your english teacher tried to teach you how to read btw the lines but some of y’all were like #‘i’m reading manga no reading or thinking only look at pictures’#CMON BRO #anti intellectualism #tiktok #anime #post

"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).

#The only thing that I can think of is the fact that Ed #didn't take action against Izzy turning Stede over to the English when he came back.#This line made me scream inside but I can't stop thinking that it's just a lie :(#Our Flag Means Death #OFMD #OFMD Season 2 #OFMD S2 Spoilers #Blackbeard #Edward Teach #Izzy Hands

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 love love love when people use the translator so much like YOU CAN SPEAK DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND STILL UNDERSTAND EACHOTHER #I just find it so fucking cool as someone who can only speak english fluently #qsmp #qsmp 2024 #I love hearing people talk in their native langauges even if I don’t understand shit it’s like woah you can speak and understand this whole #vocabulary without a second thought and I can’t??? Speak to me more in hopes that I will someday because I WANT TO #I want to learn languages so bad but I am caught between two to learn first because i cannot speak my own secondary language that more than #50% of my relatives CAN so I’m like I should learn that first but also spanish french and portuguese is RIGHT THERE and the one I should #learn first is so much harder to learn because of accessibility to lessons and just people who can teach it in general and also school lol #I’m not gonna say the language because I’m 90% sure nobody will know what it is but it is a tonal language which makes it much harder to #learn

every day i struggle to make choices

#i should invest into some kind of education but cant make up my mind #mostly because options suck #i cant do trades unless my body sucks less which is sad because id love to be an electrician #cant even think about getting a pilots license cuz im not passing the med cert #i think id rather die than be a med assistant actually #working clinics at all makes me nervous tbh but probably where im headed in the short term #surgical tech would be cool but i cant do a Real program while working full-time #which is what limits most of my choices #i need to find more paid training programs i guess #if i had to pick a miserable but fulfilling job id go into education itself #but the teaching profession has always been in a downward spiral esp as of late #i dont want healthcare because i hate seeing dysfunctional glorified murder machines grinding around and around endlessly #acute care sucks id rather be in an icu for function but then im depressed because our patients are always dying #it was better as a phleb but this hospital doesnt have phleb and like i said im nervous about clinics #but i need to fucking commit to outpatient phlebotomy i think :/#the most fun ive had at a job ever #i wish i had more widely applicable skills but i cant be an emt/para even just for the training #because half of it is unpaid and the other half you pay for #and again #a job NOTORIOUS for being exhausting dangerous and traumatizing #if i was 17 again and wasnt escaping the tar pit of my mother id go for an english degree and i wouldnt even regret it #thinking about school in terms of a job i have to have forever vs for the sake of learning is so different #id like to know everything. i wanna read and write forever. and do research and have real technical skills that help people #im still riding off of the high of getting 5 ccs off of an oncology patient who desperately needed a port #they were able to run like seven tests off of it #i had to use a couple ped tubes #she only had to get poked Once and barely noticed it bc the doc team came in and im so happy i made her admission that muvh easier #labs are so miserable #checking back on the blood and seeing all of the results came through made me more pleased than anything else in the world

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.

#vitpost #Tumblr polls #only memories I have of grade school English class are ones where I got scolded for being 'wrong'#because the teacher didn't know all the words I was using >:(#and the teacher coming up to me after class and asking why my pronounciation was so good.#she sure didn't teach me that

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.

#ooc. o kaptain.#[my grandfather didn’t go to school. ever. because he spoke no English. he couldn’t read it. and the enl services were… definitely not about #to help a Greek man who only spoke Greek in the age without the internet at all. my yiayia was a brilliant woman. she could’ve easily owned #a business. she was a phenomenal seamstress with such an insane talent for practicality and logic. she was so left brained. my papou was #such a creative with a tendency for logic. he was practical but always the one who was sillier. they eventually spoke very good English #actually. my papou always sort of had an accent (Greek accents feel like home to me) and my yiayia always did. they were incredible people.#and every single day i think about how much MORE opportunity they would’ve both had had they been born under the permitting circumstances.#my yiayia only had a 5th grade education and that incensed my grandfather. getting to take care of and help a kid who otherwise wouldn’t #have someone care THIS MUCH. especially a kid who’s foreign. i look up words in Russian and she tells me how she says them. i teach her #words in Greek because she likes the way they sound. i just wish my grandparents had been given the same opportunity. just the ability to #have someone in front of either of them and was like ‘hey i know it’s tough and scary but im here and i get it’. I’m not working #this week because i have so much to take care of. but just thinking out loud. i love my job. but more than anything this particular #opportunity has been everything to me.]

anyway the construct of the US as a monolingual anglophone nation is on multiple levels a white supremacist construct long before it is a reality

#all usamericans are monolingual! ok friend have you ever visited uh.... the city of LA?#there's a difference between a state being monolingual on a POLICY level and on the level of... actual speakers #some of you casually repeat republican talking points with casually reaffirming the definition of a usamerican as a monolingual english #speaker for clowning purposes. or something #another topic is the fact that the US's terrible track record of a) heritage language transmission and b) teaching children NEW langauges #are results of active policy changes #schools don't teach children langauges because they are not GIVEN money to teach children languages because langauges are not registered as #essential subjects on a national policy level #affecting disproportionately poorer public schools #furthermore outright english only legislation which in many states actively prevents bilingual education #finally: the idea of a united states that's english speaking at ALL is the result of the land theft and genocide of indigenous peoples #many indigenous communities are working to reclaim their languages and have to face the monolingual english policy and funding allotment

I might be getting a job!!! :D

#English teaching at a fancy language school #the only con of the whole thing is that they expect me to Present Conservatively #bc the students are all adults and they might already not take someone seriously who is 22 but looks 16 #the issue with Presenting Conservatively is that I'm the faggiest tranny creature on the face of earth #and I have piercings that I'd rather not say goodbye to 😔#I don't pass yet but I also no longer pass as a woman so we shall see how it goes #I had the (successful) interview today but I have an in-person meeting tomorrow where I'll watch a few of their classes #to see if they like my vibe and I like their vibe #so please wish me luck I really need this job fhsjfhkshdjd #personal
