God the way your shirt stretches over the swell and curve of your belly is such a delight. It looks so full and heavy

i noticed that my shirt was fitting a lil snug but i didnt realise just how much tighter it is until i compared it to a pic from 2022…😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[daddys-pet]

Are you good with that tongue?

Keith/Maeve is cottagecore academia and I like to imagine them on little picnics and whatnot

They are!! Thank you, Anon 🥹💕

When they're in the palace, they enjoy spending time in the conservatory or their garden. They also love walking in the woods and looking for new herbs. They also have a little cottage in the country for when they want total privacy and some simplicity. Nice Keith and Maeve are particularly fond of it, but I think Alter enjoy some aspects of it as well...

In the Modern!AU I also like to think of them as a couple that travels a lot to the countryside. They work together on herbal research and prefer to collect herbs in person to learn about their habitats and how the local community uses them. Not to mention being together in nature, camping, hiking, enjoying some lakes and waterfalls, and maybe even doing a bit of climbing. I think they're this kind of couple, that works well in the city but are out there in little adventures as often as possible.

Do you have a tag list for when your fics are updated? I love your work!

Thank you!! 🩷 I actually don't have a tag list as I'd been relying on AO3's email notifications. But as I've observed recently, there are a lot of guest comments and kudos on my works (who don't get email notifications) and not to mention it's not easy to get an AO3 account nowadays without having an invite. So this is a good idea!

I'll make a post today for all my fics and hopefully get all my Tumblr readers to see it and tell me what fic update they wanna be notified on either through Replies or by DMing me

If any of you are already reading this, feel free to reply to this post or dm me for the taglist, I'll make a note

[nyoomfruits]

omg just finished reading your wag fic and it was definitely worth the wait! was looking forward to it all week, and it’s made my day!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M GLAD

Hi, it's the солянка anon. So since you'd asked to let you know if there were any writing errors..

1. Мне очень нравится солянке.

Correct: Мне очень нравится солянка.

Explanation:

The word "солянка" is in the first declension group ( because it's a feminine noun ending with -а ). It should be in the nominative case in this sentence.

It sounds weird to English speaking people, because the translation would be "I really like solyanka". So it's you doing the liking, right? However, in Russian ("Мне очень нравится солянка") it's more like the solyanka is doing the "being liked" action, and you just happen to be the person the solyanka is being liked by.

(Dear god, this is starting to sound weird even to me... I'm not used to explaining grammar like this, most of the time its just... its like this because it sound correct😭)

2.

2.1 Суп в общем, правда.

Correct (more correct?less weird sounding?) : Супы в общем, правда.

Explanation: It's kinda weird to refer to a general type of dish in the singular form. It just feels like it implies that there is only 1 soup?

Compare: I hate soup. I hate the soup.

You used the "the soup" version. I assume you meant to use the "soup" version, since you have "в общем".

2.2. NOT A MISTAKE!!! But just fyi:

"В общем" has more of a "I may be implying that I don't like every aspect of all soups but in general I like them all" feeling about it.

And "вообще" is more like "I like all soups"

Also!!! This one is purely based on feels so other native speakers might disagree w/me!!!

So if you wanted to say "All kinds of soup, really" I would say "Вообще супы, правда"

But if you were trying to give more of a "In general, all kinds of soup, really" I would probably say "Супы в общем, правда"

2.3 In general, this sentence sounds fine (with the corrected "Супы") . However, some might argue that it still sounds somewhat unnatural.

Here are some reasons:

     1. The usage of "правда" at the end. It's fine, but people don't really talk like that in Russian I guess? It just reads like a word-to-word translation of the English "really" at the end of sentences.

     2. The lack of connecting words? But it might be just your personal writing style type of thing, so I won't say this is inherently wrong. Just sorta dry. Which you kind of are in English too? So that's just a you thing I guess.

Combining these two "Да и в общем супы" would sound nice (it's conversational though... So idk if you want it to come across as smth like that...)

3. Я люблю чашку горячего супа в холодную погоду.

Gramatically correct.

Kind of weird-sounding

Tips to make it sound less weird:

     1. Skip the "Я" sometimes. Repeated use of the same word in every sentence sounds a bit incorrect. (And it is counted as a mistake in exams, but who cares) "Люблю чашку горячего супа в холодную погоду" already sounds a bit better.

     2. "Чашку" is a bit redundant here (?). "Люблю горячий суп в холодную погоду" sounds better. ("Суп" is in the accusative case. It's in the second declension group, because it's a masculine noun with a null ending (not no ending! Empty/null (idk the proper term) ending!!!) . "Горячий" matches the noun it's attached to, so it's in the accusative case too.  And honestly, I really don't know how to explain the declension of adjectives. You just ask a question: Суп (какой?) горячий. Супа (какого?) горячего. Супом (каким?) горячим. And the ending of the adj. kinda matches the ending of the question. Honestly you're doing fairly well with this, so I'm not gonna go into details)

So, in the end we have either "Я люблю чашку горячего супа в холодную погоду." Which is fine. Or "Люблю горячий суп в холодную погоду." Which is not necessary, but just sound (imo) nicer.

4. Это полезно для организма.

Correct

5. Это напоминает мне... Just weird in Russian.

Again, reads like a word-to-word translation of "This reminds me...", which is a normal sounding way of saying that you've just remembered smth in English. In Russian, however, people don't really say "Это напоминает мне..." as a way of expressing that. If you really want to keep it as close to that, "Мне это напомнило..." would sound a bit better. (Still weird af imo, but I literally idk a better way)

If I had to express an idea of remembering smth because of smth I would just say "Ой, вот вспомнил..." (Oh, just remembered...) , "Пока не забыл опять..." (Before I forget again...), "Пока мы еще об этом говорим..." (While we are still on the topic...), or smth like that. These are definitely not close to what you expressed, so I understand if these don't match what you intended to express.

6. Я забывал есть, когда работал.

I'll just first translate it to you.

I used to forget to eat when I used to go to work.

Unless you're not working anymore, this is a mistake.

"Забывал" means that it's a past habit.

"Работал" here sound like you're not working anymore.

If all of that is correct, then your sentence is too. If it's not then it's wrong.

Considering that after that you say that you have some food with you, I assume that you just finished working for the day and while you were working forgot to eat (as a one time thing)

In that case "Я забыл поесть, когда работал" would be better.

I changed "есть" to "поесть" because its like a completed action I guess? "You забыл поесть" as in to eat this one particular time, not "You забыл есть" as if you were supposed to be continuously eating.

"Забывал" is changed to "забыл" (the perfect version, rather than the imperfect(???)/uncompleted action/continuous action(???) "Забывал") You just forgot and that's it. One time. Oopsie. Not like a past habit.

In this case "работал" just means its in the past and doesn't sound like you're not working anymore.

Also, by not working I mean like quitting your job or smth, not like coming home after a work day lol. Just realised this should also probably be said.

" Я забыл поесть, пока работал" would sound even nicer. "Когда" is "when", and "пока" is "while". However, this isn't necessary and I'm just finding faults now lol.

7. Кажется, у мена где-то есть еда...

Correct: Кажется, у меня где-то есть еда...

Explanation: It is what it is. Literally. It just like that *insert the tm symbol which im too lazy to copy and paste here*

Hooray, we're done. The not-picky result should look somthing like this:

Мне очень нравится солянка. Супы в общем, правда. Я люблю чашку горячего супа в холодную погоду. Это полезно для организма.

Это напоминает мне... Я забыл поесть, когда работал. Кажется, у меня где-то есть еда...

The mildly picky version:

Мне очень нравится солянка. Супы в общем, правда. Люблю чашку горячего супа в холодную погоду. Это полезно для организма.

Мне это напомнило...Я забыл поесть, когда работал. Кажется, у меня где-то есть еда...

The extremely picky version (may change the meaning slightly):

Мне очень нравится солянка. Да и в общем супы. Люблю горячий суп в холодную погоду. Это полезно для организма.

Кстати, мне это напомнило... Я забыл поесть, пока работал. Кажется, у меня где-то есть еда...

It's 2 am rn and i've been writing thisfor 3 hrs so maybe the closer to the end the less sense it all makes but im definitely not coming back to this tmrrw so here you go, enjoy

Also i absolutely dont know how to format in tumblr so in my notes apps this whole thing looked really pretty with different colours to highlight the mistakes and corrections and etc, and italics and etc and here its all gone so im really sad

(Ooc response)

Eyyy, thanks a lot. This was very insightful, actually, and I'll be sure to note some of this for future reference. :]

In English, I do tend to talk in a rather "archaic and dry" manner, so I think I was trying to emulate that. I just unironically talk weird, even in english standards. But with my [admittedly limited] knowledge of Russian grammar and writing conventions, it's a bit more difficult to translate that, lol.

But I find the best way for me to learn is probably going to be trial and error (which is scary for me!), so I appreciate your feedback ♡

Anyway... back to playing with my barbie dolls...

OOOUUUUUUGGG MY EGO!!
