Reverse Gondolin Tyelpe!
outfit inspired by this post by @thelien-art
#silm#silmarillion#reverse gondolin au#celebrimbor#tyelpe#tyelperinquar#decided he goes by his quenya name for ondolindrim purposes#fun facts abt his design!#when he formally disowned the feanorians he switched bloodred for pale slate and gold for bright silver#and changed his accent colors to finwe's dark fuschia-red#his outfit is somewhat referencing turgons w the black underlayer and the light outer robe with red accents#the heraldic belt is somewhat referencing gils device since in the au lomion & tyelpe adopted gil#the pattern on the hem of the outer robe is similar to the YT valian fashion though the cut of the sleeves is a rev gondolin style#his hair is unusually short- at this point he wears it in a simple bun#he picks up his signature half style after lomions death :(#the double necklace thing forms a similar shape to the YT era mantles/shoulderpieces#and the shape of his second dark layer is like a more modern version of the heavily layered tirion style formalwear#basically his style is 'slightly updated finwe' in a darkened version of lomion's color palette#the feanorian star in silver is his specifically#the feanorian star in gold is feanor's#(sorry curufin you don't get your own star)#he also accidentally spawns a new linguistic rift via the addition of the Gondolin Accent to the Thorn Problem#gnomish seems to have some weirdness around th- words (ie sorontar (Q. N) /thorondor (S) /thorndor (G) )#so theres def going to be a fight or three over the gondolin/gnomish pronunciation in relation to therinde

Dragon that is the hardest to pronounce
#fdgsdf open to suggestions tbh. a lot of the categories didnt give me much to work with#even without being restricted by gaoler genes fdgsfd#myrid is an odd one in that. its not a word so it doesnt actually have a correct pronunciation to begin with fdgsdf#i say meer-id#but i wonder if its more common for others to say my-rid#i picked earth for flight because conceivably you could say eerth fdsgdfg and not everyone can say 'th' very easily#scries#dragon share#pronunciation#tapir gene

are you Jewish? no judgement just curious! saw your post and was pleasantly surprised
i'm not, but my girlfriend is <3 we are making a point to start some traditions now that we've lived together almost two years. i have cousins who are jewish so i have casually celebrated some holidays with them when i was a kid and teenager (i lived with them for a while) but this is my first time as an adult celebrating hanukkah in an intentional way.
i was raised catholic, my gf was raised secular, and we both have a wide variety of spiritual beliefs about nature etc but it's really nice to incorporate a larger tradition from her side of the family into our shared life together <3 i practiced the blessings a bunch tonight so i could sing it all correctly while i lit the menorah, let's hope my pronunciation gets better each night 😅
happy hanukkah to all who celebrate!! ✡️🕎☮️

Top shabbos quotes
"You know what un shaloms your shabbat. Shabbat daagah!"
"Once you hear that sizzle (of the havdallah candle) I'm beating your ass"
"The second I see three stars it's over for you." "Light pollution is the only thing saving you right now"
"I'm going to learn the ashkenazi pronunciation and only use it when I sit next to you. Yisgadal vyiskadash." "Shabbat daagah" "Back to Egypt with you!"
"Baruch Hashem or whatever it is that jewish people say."
"You know what imma tell a bitch to spell yizkor"
"get ready to unshabbat my shalom with me (do havdallah)"
"If you get run over in the shul parking lot I'm sorry, but you're hashem's least favorite jew I don't make the rules."
#the ashkenazi pronunciation thing is extra funny to me bc we almost always use the ashkenazi pronunciations for things when talking#but exclusively use sephardic when davening like you do#the only other people to ever use ashkenazi pronunciation ever in our shul are over 70#most of these are said in the lobby/parking lot after kabbalat shabbat#jumblr#th last one was said as i was backing out and couldnt see shit#if anyone quoted in this sees this no you didnt#aside from dk you follow me so its chill

My mother told me years ago that English and Punjabi sort of fall under the same group (daughters of same mother, she called them). She had even told me many example words in both which mean the same thing and aren't derived from English because it's our local words from thousands of years old languages of this region, like Sansikrt
I know there would be similar or same words scattered throughout English.
Yet still whenever I discover a new word in English that's basically the exact same word we use in our language in routine (which I hadn't realized earlier bcoz of changed pronunciation), I get as giddy as a kid discovering a new color of butterfly
#we have a word in Urdu. we speak it in day to day life.#ادھر#pronounced 'ee-dhur' with a soft 'th' like pronunciation at DH#it means 'here' or 'over here'#it's not originally an Urdu word either we already have another word for it#but we use it more than the Urdu word یہاں#it just rolls off easier#also Urdu is a very collaborative lanhuage ad it has words from so many other languages#it also had the quality to naturally aggregate words from other languages#so idher is not technically an Urdu word. i believe it's from a different regional language. I've heard this word spoken in Hindi too#and in Punjabi#so!#back to point. the word 'hither' in English & 'idhar' means the same thing#they sound almost the exact same too#and ادہر آو (idher aao) aka 'come here' is commonly spoken when we're calling someone

we should give another letter of the english alphabet vowel status. i’d like to nominate the humble “h”
#marzi speaks#my argument is simple.#1- ‘hhhhh’ is a noise that can be made without closing your mouth#just like all of the other vowel sounds#2- placing ‘h’ after certain letters changes their pronunciation#‘t’ changes when it becomes ‘th.’ ‘c’ changes when it becomes ‘ch.’ ‘s’ changes when it becomes ‘sh’#3- ‘h’ can be percieved as silent such as in words like ‘ghost’ where it essentially serves to indicate which pronunciation of ‘o’ to use#4- vowel shaped letter. smooth lowercase sharp uppercase that’s a vowel#thank you for your consideration everyone

Help me name him
Some facts:
- from creche y'llek
- harbored by ko'kuu growing up, spared a culling at ko'kuu's intervention
- suffers debilitating chronic pain that nearly cost him his life as a liability; got vicious as a result
- actually a cleric but might become a warlock later to make a deal with his patron to lessen his pain
- possibly worships loviatar or ilmater
- possible galemancer
- Orpheus-aligned endgame
#these are mostly name generator names with some tweaks. I'm thinking v- leading but unsure.#if one of the first few I think ko'kuu and later others he grows close with would call him va'el#githyanki#githyanki tav#bg3#i suppose I could also nick the first apostrophe from vos'va'el but I put it there for pronunciation assistance#vothva'el has a natural stop after the -th but vosva'el could easily be misconstrued as vosva-el#which isn't how I read it#I do also like the jumble of hard consonants in the middle of vo'thk'el too#but in my head I keep adding an i to it that isn't there. like vo'thk'iel#which doesn't sound very gith

dont ask me why but W should be pronounced “Wee” not “Double You”
#it isnt even a double u its a double v#(ikik its like that cause us used to look like vs idfc they look different now)#and it just has the ee letter vibe yk#like it would fuck up the pronunciation of the alphabet song sure#but we could just add a letter in to fill that gap#like maybe one pronounced like “th” (soft or hard) sh zh or ch (either the english or hebrew/scottish pronunciation)#by hebrew/scottish pronunciation i mean stuff like in challah or loch#tho i know u non scots/non jews often pronounce those hallah and lock but thats not my problem learn the correct pronunciation#i’m going off on a random tangent here sorry-

Lowkey tempted to start using þ and ð
#I've always been fairly ambivalent on þ but ð is so cute and if i use one ðen it'd be weird not to also use ðe other#especially since þ has historically been ðe far prominent one in English w ð only really lasting a couple centuries#before þ started covering boþ pronunciations until the printing press eventually simplified it furðer to 'y' and eventually 'th'#so while i suppose i could easily get away wiþ only bringing back þ it'd make ðat much less sense to only bring back ð#anyway I'm definitely excessively rambling lol

It feels so funny as a Puerto Rican to be made fun of for our dialect/accent when the people who made the language all have fucking lisps on purpose.
Me teneith thin cojoneth!
#at least we took that shit out?#caribbean island spanish is basically the AAVE of spanish#it’s so annoying to speak your mother tongue and someone tell you that you speak it ghetto#you’re making fun of the wrong people#but okay pop off go ahead and be passive agressive because we’re half black#I love a good microagression#please duly note I’m not making fun of people with speech impediments#Spain literally pronounces s as a th for everything. it’s the pronunciation of the letter in the language#you know how not every letter is pronounced the same in each language#why almost no other Spanish speakers do this is a mystery to me#I don’t mean to rant it’s just the condescending tones and automatic undemining your knowledge from other spanish speakers that pisses me

Xiè Lián: My surname is Xiè, my first name is Lián. Huā Chéng: You can call me your third husband. Xiè Lián: What happened to my first two husbands?!
I learned Huā Chéng was having Xiè Lián call him "husband" from Ty the Canasian on Kictor's YouTube, I found this when I was trying to corroborate the linguistics, and I indulged and bought the official Seven Seas Entertainment (translator and editor are on Tumblr!) English translations of the books so here's further confirmation from Volume 1:
ETA:
I made this post private because I was unhappy with it (misspelling/misformatting Wúmíng, knowing I wouldn't have good reach for larger and less biased sample size even if I could have tagged better for the fandoms and characters if Tumblr organized by more than the first five tags), but I'm making it public again since it finished and so did the similar poll that fun-mxtx-polls was kind enough to make for me.
Not to bias towards the first option, just to explain it, the first option and why I wanted this poll come from the naming pattern trivia for MXTX's love interests/male leads/gongs, which I think you can best read on Huā Chéng's page on the Heaven Official's Blessing/Tiān Guān Cì Fú wikia. I'm just using that as my citation given:
I'm not sure if MXTX has discussed this meta in-joke somewhere and if so, where.
The SSE Glossary: Terminology note (all volumes of all three MXTX novels) only explains the second and third gongs, and implies MXTX is doing this purposefully. Lán Wàngjī's wikia page explains only the three published gongs, and implies this started from fandom phenomena creating a proto-stage pattern (if you subscribe to "one is chance, two is coincidence, three is a pattern"). Huā Chéng's page linked above is the odd man out and so probably incorrect about Lán-èr-gē vs. Lán-èr-gēge, but it goes above and beyond by explaining the fourth gong, and it uses the most neutral language regarding this trivia.
I think citation is unnecessary for "gē" (哥 | 哥) meaning "big brother" and in certain contexts having the connotation or meaning of "eldest brother" (admittedly my unverified inference), "èr" (二 | 二) meaning "two", and "sān" (三 | 三) meaning "three".
I actually like so much because I like to think if it could use more wordplay and less literalism. Please forgive me for being a poor reader not remembering exactly, not buying the TGCF raws yet, not being able to buy the SVSSS and MDZS raws, and only being able to find old fan translations/interpretations of MXTX's fourth novel preview, but let me explain:
I believe Luò Bīnghé isn't being called "Luò Bīnghé-gē" (or rather "Bīng-gē" since I think? it's more usual to use the suffix with the single/first character of a person's given name, not with their full name, especially when the full name is three (or more? some of my reading has mentioned two-character last names but I didn't find if culture was strict about then making the given name be only one character) characters) for the usual reasons to address someone with "gē", but actually the PIDW!Luò Bīnghé is being called Luò Bīnggē (or "Bīng-gē") because he's more aggressive than canon/SVSSS!Luò Bīnggē who when being differentiated gets called Luò Bīngmèi (or "Bīng-mèi"), and I love that "very fitting reasoning for the naming, not strictly literal and not so bound to literal".
Then with Lán Wàngjī, I see the opportunity that his nickname could have used the natural naming of "erhua is used as a diminutive suffix", and the "er" would have been homophonous with "èr" (二 | 二) for "two" for him being the second gong, and homophonous to the potential "proper address for him as the second Lán son/brother".
In the most literal sense, you'll notice that the gongs so far have had their nicknames be using "(big) brother" and Huā Chéng's uses láng (郎 | 郎) "son" (his stated meaning, although it can also mean "man" and "husband" and the latter is how we can interpret he wanted it to be when coming from Xiè Lián). There's nothing wrong with that and the numbers are perfectly probable, and would still be so as they grow, but also they could feel more like "contrived" coincidence, which is part of my wanting to get away from literalism a little bit, not just my loving clever wordplay. With Huā Chéng, I don't have a homophone I can use for punning like with Lán Wàngjī, or really the "cultural language use where literal suffixes/honorifics get used figuratively for XYZ purposes", but I can make it fit with character interpretation. To me, Sān Láng doesn't have to be "Third Son" because "he has two older brothers" and in fact we aren't sure that he was telling the truth about that—instead, I think Huā Chéng could be being clever with not just getting Xiè Lián to call him (Third/surname "Three") Husband but in saying his name is "Third Man" because this is the third alias he gives Xiè Lián. (Some additional feels this gives me: It's like he's saying he's the same person Xiè Lián met before, that they shared all of that experience and it mattered, that he's the final form of that person wanting to be with Xiè Lián, that he's like a fairy-tale character with many names and forms and a true name and form and all along there was a trick or thread to follow in knowing and identifying him.) It just works out so perfectly because of the third way he introduces himself to Xiè Lián matching him being the third gong, and also the fairy-tale significant number of "three".
Finally, with the fourth gong, I've looked at Suika's TGCF Afterword translation, a NovelUpdates MDZS spoilers forum post by K.san crossposted to the Grim Reapers Have No Days Off spoilers forum by alexfilia, a reply to this post in r/tianguancifu by u/chenmochou, and also this post in r/tianguancifu by u/Loud_Daikon6167 which cites a TikTok I can't see either because of TikTok's thing about opening to a random page/the homepage or I assume the TikTok being removed or locked. Given the first NovelUpdates post maybe having more of a direct translation compared to the first Reddit post, it's still not definitive to me whether this is "actually more of a fandom thing, with MXTX acknowledging and participating in it enough to help make it possible" or it's "MXTX doing this on purpose with her name choices and character traits, whether she meant to have the pattern from the start or later, and yes could have been influenced by fandom" because I think "Other: 四少" is probably about the male lead(s) compared to it following "Protagonist: the uke's name is not determined yet" so it doesn't seem like the fandom came up with a nickname out of whole cloth. "Four young masters" is perfectly probable and could be equally reasonable, and "four ikemen" could even follow in reasonability; in fact it could be more likely and realistic since this is a modern setting, which would have different use of "young master" to me, and because we believe the gong to be the regular human and the shou to be the grim reaper. But for the wordplay, I would have liked it if the gong were the grim reaper and the "four theme naming" came from the famous "sì" (四 | 四) meaning "four" is homophonous with "sǐ" (死 | 死) meaning "die/death" and the latter being used in the Chinese for "grim reaper"/"death god".
#Tian Guan Ci Fu#TGCF#Heaven Official's Blessing#Mo Xiang Tong Xiu#MXTX#I'm sure this joke has already been made since I'm late to fandom as always#but congrats MXTX this is so perfect and I have to make this joke even if it's me jumping on a bandwagon and beating a dead horse#Thank you Netflix subtitles for having the perfect dialogue to make this joke work as compared to the Seven Seas Entertainment publication#and my research says this makes Xiè Lián’s dialogue match how a Chinese person would introduce themself so that's awesome!#Thank you to fandom.com for having more character name information than Wikipedia. I'm trusting the characters are right#and trusting Google Translate which matched the diacritics for the tones#I learned barely any Chinese from my parents so I'm not touching whether I think 儿 should be the full character or what I think of as#smaller writing for phonetic diminutive suffix and I'm not touching that Wikipedia gives it the rising tone diacritic so it's ér#And if that's a thing for which my parents were like “that's something interesting and complicated we're not going to explain at this level#then spacing and punctuation were also not really formalized for hanyu pinyin for me so I'm also not touching whether that dash#should be a space (I don't actually think this one) or no space or an apostrophe#To be clear the official translation also uses the hyphen but I can't trust the neutral vowel because the novels only use diacritics for th#and that's only for Book 1 they don't even do that for Book 2 where I confirmed -er#Book 3 with Hua Cheng as an unnamed soldier actually gives tonal marks for the whole Pronunciation Guide though!#main characters in the Pronunciation Guide and not in the rest of the book or even the appendices#Argh I forgot to remove the space for Wúmíng according to what I figured the spacing convention for names was and that Book 6 supports#What I WILL touch is PLEASE think of the vowel sound in gege as being on the eugh end of the spectrum as opposed to#uh or ugh and their different pronunciations#OR EVEN BETTER please just pronounce the phoneme gh#Forget the silent h after g given to you by Flemish typesetters working English printing presses#If I ask you to pronounce gh or to pronounce both letters in gh#what you think of for that is approximately how you should say ge for older brother/male friend#Yes I do feel bad for using fandom.com wikias instead of trying to find wikis#But I'm sorry I wasn't going to hunt for what the wiki URLs might be given the given translation and fandom#and what I could immediately see from Wikipedia and TVTropes

also i finally finished the silm earlier and oh my god i understood narn i chin hurin so much better this time. like i know the whole thing isn't included but the fact the main parts are mentioned *after* i knew who the heck everyone in it was and where everything was happening made it so much more understandable now than when i first read it back when i was like 14 bc i went like hobbit -> lotr -> children of hurin with a lot of time in between where i forgot stuff
#bc i remember the first time i read it i was so lost like “where the fuck is doriath and dor lomin and all these places who are these..#..people. why wont turin come back. why does this man have to change his name every five seconds. whos morgoth?“ and so on#like i especially remember going “why is anglachel/gurthang like...evil. yeah you said this guy who made em is 'the dark elf' but what does#..“does that actually mean? he could just be goth i dont fucking know why we don't like him” and reading it now i was like Oh. Haha. Fuck.#i think its funny the main thing i remembered was being like “damn i love beleg and mablung”. past aimenel knew what was up#unrelated the hunting of the wolf was metal as fuck?????#i say that like it doesn't apply to so much in the silm but like. bro#i thought the whole “of beren and luthien” chapter was gonna be kinda boring bc i knew about most of the main stuff that happens already but#i was actually getting back into it all as i was reading#its weird i thought the audiobook would help but i think it was too slow#bc i had like ~8 hours left but reading it myself it took nowhere near that#i like hearing how people read for different characters and stuff and also i like knowing how things are pronounced bc even with the..#basic pronunciation thing in the back i still definitely fumble some names when i read them in my head lol. thinking about how many..#...different ways ive heard Eärendil for instance#or like not knowing for YEARS that dh is th.#dont get me started on how fucked up i probably read anything thats in there in adunaic#butchering every name in the akallabeth speedrun any%
