additional words written: 69,701

grand total of words: 289,085

fandoms: nancy drew, bg3, fe3h, persona 5, stardew valley

highest kudos: we'll find each other, my astarion/durge fic, at 192!!

highest hit oneshot: memories, souvenirs, some originals, aka the shuake proposal wars, at 2003!!

new things I tried: finishing ages-old wips???? also technically the thing I'm working on rn :D

fic I spent the most time on: in theory that would be I ate the world world to find you, my thancy fic, since I created that gdoc back on Oct 31st, 2016. but if we're going based on time spent writing and not how long it took me to write it, then that would be we'll find each other, the astarion fic

fic I spent the least time on: not too much, a little for her, my rugan/tav (boram) fic that I wrote for the exchange!! I wrote it in the middle of my phd work of trying to finish a chapter on a deadline (which I am actually still... working on rn...) knowing that I only had a little bit of time to do so, and somehow I found the inspiration to just... write it in a single go (after doing a lot of research reading bee's fics to make sure that I'd get everything right). and it came out so good!!!!

favorite thing I wrote: I know I said this before but I really have such trouble choosing a favorite. I love them all for wildly different reasons 🥹

favorite thing(s) I read: I went into more detail on these here, but here's the short list:

Focus - Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Hans Capon/Henry of Skalitz

Family Affair - Dragon Age II - Carver/F!Hawke

Crucible - Dragon Age II - Fenris/F!Hawke - sex pollen and a rescue. just a delicious and super ic well-written fic

Come What May - Resident Evil 2 Remake - Leon Kennedy/Claire Redfield

your name - Baldur’s Gate 3 - Durgetash

what is done in love is done well - Persona 5 - Yusuke Kitagawa/Ann Takamaki

writing goals for 2025:

Give myself the grace and room to work on my PhD more throughout the year instead of going full ADHD on it...

Gonna write that Stardew fic and then spend ten fucking years coding it and I will THRIVE

Write more of my old WIPs!!! There is at least one (two, really) more old Nancy Drew fic that I have on the backburner that I want to finish, especially for my sister's birthday!!

tagging: @hallowedlore @adamantineheart @unxpctedlygreat @frigid-arnica @voloslobotomyservice and any other writing friends of mine!! (I really wanted to tag @we-rule-the-kingdom-inside but I don't think lin would forgive me)

Numbers in Bawm

Introduction

I wanted to compare numbers in the Bawm language to the ancestor of Sino-Tibetan as a whole. So, this is just taken from Wikipedia, just to give a basic intro to the language because my main focus here is historical linguistics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bawm_language "Native speakers: 16000 (2004-2011) Bawm or Bawm Zo, also known as Banjogi, is a Kuki-Chin language primarily spoken in Bangladesh. It is also spoken in adjacent regions of Northeast India and Myanmar.""Most of the Zohnahthlak communities live in Rangamati and Bandarban districts of Chittagong division in Bangladesh, with most of the Bawm community residing in the Bethel Para in Ruma subdistrict and Thanci subdistrict of the Bandarban district. Also, the Bawm reside in the Rangamati Sadar and Barkal and Bilaichari subdistricts of the Rangamati district." Numbers in Bawm compared to Proto-Kuki-Chin (All these page numbers taken from VanBik's Proto-Kuki-Chin: A Reconstructed Ancestor of the Kuki-Chin Languages STEDT Project University of California, Berkeley, 2009):

Bawm vs PKC

1 pakhat < *khat ⪤ *ʔat ⪤ *hat 450 2 panih < *ni? [844] 3 pathum < *thum [416], /Cognate to WB sûm ‘three’. 4 pa-li < *lii [1022], /cf. WB lê ‘four’, prefixal *b- at PTB level (cf. WT bźi). 5 panga < *ŋaa 855; WB ŋâ 6 paruk < *ruk 974, cf. WB khrok, WT drug, PTB *kruk 7 pasirih < *sa-ri? 672 8 pa-riat < *riat 935, cognate WB hrac, WT brgyad 9 pakua < *kua 302 10 para < *hraa 1100 11 lei-khat 12 lei-nih 20 kul < kul 302 21 kul lei-khat 100 za, za kat <*yaa 1207 100 sang

PST roots

Now let us look at the PST roots which gave rise to Bawm with some commentary. The PST is taken from Wiktionary with commentary from Matisoff's article (1995):

*kat is mentioned by Matisoff, section 3.12 (Matisoff, 1995, p.127)

*g-ni-s

*g-sum

*b-lij~ *b-ləj

*l-ŋaʔ

*k-ruk

*s-ni-s "Many Kuki-Chin-Naga languages have r-, ɣ- or g- root initial. Matisoff: "rhotacism"/liquefaction of nasal.", so basically s-ni-s -> s-ris, hypothetically matching our pattern sVri -> sari "4.2212 With rhotacism of the nasal root-initial The STC regards these forms as reflecting a quite separate root from *s-nis,233) but in my opinion they cannot be ostracized from this etymon. I believe these forms merely show "rhotacism" — i.e. a "liquefaction" of the nasal. We have already noted the regular development of *r to g in many KUKI-CHIN languages (above 4.214) . It seems clear that after some of these languages underwent rhotacism of the intervocalic nasal, the resulting liquid was then hardened to a voiced velar fricative or stop: *-n- > -r- > -g-." ([[ST Number Prefixes]], 1995, p.198) This is pretty self explanatory. If we consider n->r, then it makes sense how siri comes from s-ni-s.

*pə-rjat

*tə-ŋguʔ It could reflect the term in Kuki-Chin-Naga languages because it contains a velar and older reconstructions did show just k without the nasal, like "NINE *d-kaw (_ *d-kuw) x *s-gaw A *d-gaw" ([[ST Number Prefixes]], 1995, p.207)

*gip, *ts(j)i(j) ~ tsjaj 20 *m-kul 100 *b-r-jakə 1000 *s-tawŋ - has descendents in brnaches other than Kuki-Chin. Even Matisoff (1995, p.173) mentions that this form is constructued specifically based on Burmese. For now it seems the root for thousand in Bawm has unknown etymology.

Abbreviations:

PST= proto Sino-Tibetan STEDT= Sino-Tibetan Etymological Dictionary and Thesaurus KC= Kuki-Chin

[freewillacquired]

Nemesis sighed, watching the tentacle be actually very nice to his new friend. At times like these, he really wasn't sure how to feel about his tentacles. He kindof felt like a jerk, quite honestly, when the poor thing was just trying to be affectionate. But that was just it... It wasn't a poor thing... it was a virally mutated piece of strange flesh attached to his body, with instincts of its own. It had been created from and by a virus that had honestly ruined his life and cost the lives of his friends, his parents, his sister, and even his dog. A part of him really didn't want to encourage them at all because of all that.

And yet, they were attached to him. They listened to him. They obeyed him. He could control them absolutely if he concentrated. His consciousness was always in ultimately charge. And they'd helped him a great deal, to find food and water, to protect him... so shouldn't he be at least a little bit grateful to them? "They're not... so ter-ri-dle," he admitted. "They're just... weird. And... not nornal. So I don't want... to like then... too nuch."

The tentacles seemed undaunted by the chilly reception of their host. They curled around him with equal affection, almost hugging him around his waist before returning to their natural resting position... undulating slowly and idly at his back and shoulders.

He waited while his friend tried to find him some food, silently reminding himself that beggars could absolutely not be choosers. Especially beggars that might succumb to starvation rage and start savaging murdering people around them for food. He was pleasantly surprised, though, to see what she brought back. It... Was it... It was! Spam!

Now... as an environmentalist, an animal lover, an anti-big-corporations activist, and a vegetarian, spam would have disgusted Nemesis back when he was human. It represented so much of with was wrong with the world.. overprocessed mystery meat with enough preservatives and sodium to preserve anyone in a mummified, jerky-style state after death with just one helping. But compared to eating cat and dog food, half-rotten meat, or god forbid... hunting actual animals and killing them for food, Nemesis was infinitely grateful and happy to see a big block of spam.

And... wait, are there... There's dipping sauces! Nemesis couldn't believe his eyes. But before he could grab the fork and go to town on the spam - as opposed to just grabbing a handful an shoving it into his monstrous maw like a savage, his tentacles began reacting to his excitement and curiosity about the sauces. Each one of them skewered cubes of pink meat with their sharp, pointy ends, dipped them into the sauces - each tentacle into a different one - and then held them up, ready to quite literally feed Nemesis.

Okay this is a little embarrassing. Nevertheless, Nemesis' stomach growled loudly with anticipation, so he decided to just do with it. "Thank you," he said to his friend. "It is thancy!" he insisted. Spam and dipping sauces, come on, this is the best meal I've had in years. "One at a tine," he said to his tentacles. Oh, it was so good. He couldn't get enough of it. The meat was good, the sauces were all good... he was in absolute heaven. It wasn't long before his tentacles had fed him the entire plate.

Inspect -( if you want to give things a try from scratch. Nemesis always looked like he could use some company )

{ Hello! I'm so sorry, I was supposed to get back to you and I completely forgot. I don't mind starting something, but I know nothing about your muse. Your rules and bio pages aren't visible to me because your blog only comes up as an inset on my dash, not as a full page. Maybe you have it set to private or something? But that's why this is going to be a little sparse, because I couldn't find any info about your muse. Nemmy could absolutely use some company, though. ^_^ }

Nemesis was used to fending off undead, and even trying to help survivors of this apocalypse. He was just as used to getting yelled at, having rocks thrown at him, or getting shot at by those very same survivors. What he wasn't used to... was anyone actually sticking around to talk to him, much less someone caring about his welfare. So he'd flinched a little to realize that someone was now... checking him for wounds? Weren't they afraid of him? Didn't they think he was ugly and monstrous like everyone else did?

He stared for a moment, just watching them fuss over him, bewildered by their concern. "It's o-kay..." he said around his large teeth and without the aid of lips. "I can't... get in-thec-ted... any-way." At least not any more so than he already was. Good thing he wasn't contagious. "I'n not hurt.... dut thank you... thor car-ing."

Working on some concepts for future Thancy portraits I wanna do and I like to think his flower is white Calluna/Heather.

[percys-tits]

bestie how dare you forget about beautiful thanatos (affectionate)

i mean ive been kinda on a dad craze recently if you couldnt tell and thany baby aint one so…

HOWEVER look at him

Absolutely drop dead gorgeous. like he has a fucking eight pack and is probs like nine inches soft ngl

not only that but he seem chill. like his vibes are great and he seems very emotionally available which is one of the most sexiest quality someone can have. he would 👏treat 👏percy right👏

percy deserves a good man that will be there for him and also could crush a cantaloupe with his biceps

also love that the wiki points out that thanatos is a virgin. #exposed. it would be that classic whore/virgin plotline (if you know, you know)

Whenever you have a bad day, just remember

This happened

[bennettxgemini]

wow now i’m shipping grigor and nancy.

[teamdoofus]

knee-deep in my grancy feels, send help

[thebrothershardy]

Thancy!! ❤️💘

❤: who is more affectionate in public? in private?

while i think he’s protective in public, i think thanos is NOT AT ALL affectionate when surrounded by others. after all, he has a reputation to uphold as a big bad scary looking dude, and holding hands with a cute american girl like nancy doesn’t exactly enhance that… i don’t think nancy would be the type to instigate pda with thanos in public either, just because i honestly am having trouble even wrapping my mind around those images (like seriously has thanos ever so much as hugged somebody in his entire life, the answer is indubitably no), but let’s be real here: this is WILDLY different when they’re alone. i bet thanos is actual a big cuddler-in-bed (just name him President of the Big Spoons now) because it allows him to feel that nancy is safe and secure in his arms, plus i bet he likes the warmth and human contact that, although he would never ask for it outrighly, he definitely enjoys like the rest of the human race. i can absolutely see him pulling nancy on his lap during a movie night or holding onto her thigh under the dinner table JUST BECAUSE. it calms him to touch her and know she’s there.

💘: who developed a crush on the other first?

10000000% thanos. lie is literally just one giant failed attempt of thanos to flirt with nancy (although he would never ever even ENTERTAIN the idea of calling it a “““““crush”””””). see it as you will, but i was convinced of him caring for her (or, at the very least, being fascinated by her and curious to know what she was capable of) the moment it became clear that he wasn’t interested in passing word of her over to kronos. or how about when in the notes nancy finds at the end, xenia implies she’s basically going to silence nancy with whatever means necessary and literal mafia man thanos ganas discourages her from doing so. underneath all that grecian costume armor is a rager that did not relent the entire game.

all i’ve gathered so far from ffxiv fanfest:

1. ultimate sex appeal potential

and 2.

[lunaeloves]

teacup, syrup, and lace :o (kittyandco)

@kittyandco thank you for the ask!! I’ll be doing Th/ancred bc I haven’t done anything with him in a hot second.

teacup: do you make things for your f/o often? do you make them a favorite drink, dessert, etc.?

I make him stews every now and then. I think he just likes watching me fuss around and make something.

lace: what are you and your f/o wearing on a date?

He’s wearing a puffy shirt that gives him some cleavage and some high waisted pants and boots. While I...wear the same thing. Good thing dates are usually at a small cafe so they don’t need to dress so nicely. But the fact that they dress similarly a lot of times makes the rest of the scions laugh. But for a super fancy date the suits and dresses are pulled out.

syrup: tell me your most wildly domestic, self-indulgent fantasy you have with your f/o.

Waking up next to him and kissing his cheek before I get up and make breakfast for the both of us but he pulls me back into bed while whispering “five more minutes...”

a lady born of fire and light

within her blood runs holy might

she must forge her lover’s throne

destroy what once was set in stone

her maidenhead shall be the sign

“My lady… I think you may have the wrong room.”

The cloaked figure seated serenely on his favorite chair - in his bedchamber - simply tilted her head.

“No,” your lips twitched in subtle amusement, “I am exactly where I meant to be.”

Yoongi’s eyes widened.

“Here? You meant to be here - in the bastard prince’s sleeping quarters?”

“Yes.”

Your eyes met his with cool defiance. Yoongi felt his body stir in response - as it always did when you were near.

Gods this is a dangerous woman.

His hands clenched into fists.

“My lady -” he emphasized your title deliberately, “you cannot be here.”

“And why is that, Min Yoongi?”

It’s been years since he heard his name on your lips and he was utterly unprepared for the effect of it - utterly unprepared for the sharp shot of pleasure twisting low in his belly or the heat that curled up his spine. 

Only the dull fingernails digging painfully into his palm kept his reactions in check.

“Have you forgotten who and what you are?”

Emotion flared in your eyes for the briefest moment.

“No. I have not forgotten.”

Yoongi crossed his arms, leaning back against his large wooden wardrobe with a dismissive scoff.

“Clearly you have, so it falls upon me to remind you that - as the only daughter of our high priest - a child of prophecy - and the sacred virgin bride of the future king - my brother - you have no business-”

“I am not here for your brother,” your voice cracked like a whip, cutting off his condescending tirade with pointed intent, “I am here for you.”

Yoongi felt the deep stirrings of fury boil up in his blood. He stormed forward, slamming his fist on the desk beside you.

“Is this a trap?!” he growled viciously, “Some sort of elaborate ruse cooked up by my brother to lure me into treason?”

“No-”

“Then are you trying to get us killed?!”

“Yoongi - please - listen-” you reached out to grab his sleeve, but he was too fast. He caught your bare wrist in his hand and you both froze.

It was the first time he had ever truly touched you.

It was the first time anyone but your parents and your handmaidens had ever truly touched you.

Gods she’s soft.

The thought flashed through Yoongi’s mind before he could stop it, stoking his anger all the more.

He swore loudly and yanked his hand away.

“Do you not comprehend that even being in the same room with you alone is a death sentence? You cannot come to my quarters in the middle of the night wearing -” the words choked in his throat as his eyes dropped below your neck- “spirits and saints preserve me - WHAT are you wearing?”

“A nightgown.”

“I can see it’s a nightgown woman - er my lady - but the fabric-”

You nodded pleasantly, “It’s the finest in all the land.”

Yoongi opened his mouth. Closed it. Then opened it again.

“It’s completely see-through.”
