listen, i use ben cucumbers for thrawn over on ofblasters, but i am SO SO SO SO happy lars is gonna be thrawn and i can icon him and i can get rid of the ben cause i won't have to edit things majorly anymore. ben was just so much more easy to edit into a danger blueberry than lars with that beard.

I want you to know that your art is very important to me, and I'm very invested in all of the characters I have seen from you. Also, the discussion about Finnish and other languages having gendered words or not has been the last little push to get me to start learning Finnish which I think is fun.
I'm making this a little compilation post of all the language asks I got. Thank you for sharing, this was genuinely really interesting!
#answered#anonymous#long post#the-biornicles#procyon-caffeinaeus#also this may sound childish but it's always thrilling whenever I get to read posts like these#I dunno it's just so outlandish that there are a bunch of people living in the various corners of the planet who like my art and characters#and take the time to read the nonsense I write in tumblr tags#you'd think you would get used to the idea but no it still makes me giddy#also to the anons learning Finnish I'm cheering for you#Finnish people are typically extremely stoked/flattered/shyly pleased whenever someone deems our language even a little bit worth learning#and they love to tell you that Finnish is hard but it's mostly because it's not an Indo-European language#so chances are it's going to be sort of different and incompatible with the language(s) you already speak#English for example is more closely related to Sanskrit Bengali and Persian than Finnish

around the great mosque of xi'an, originally built in 742, and one of the largest historical mosques in china. chang'an (xi'an's old name), then the capital of the tang dynasty, had a large west asian community to the point that emperor xuanzong permitted the construction of the mosque. unlike most contemporaneous chinese buildings, which are oriented north-south in accordance with feng shui, the great mosque is oriented to the west, towards mecca.
#china#architecture#interior#details#worship#muslim#nmenam#my posts#xi'an seems to have a lot of presence from west asia and associated religious history#there were a lot of persians or at least persia-influenced people in that part of the world back then#the specific arabic script they use is perso-arabic script too#i wanna read more about it#(i wonder if there were jews in xi'an...there probably were there were tons of jewish traders across asia at the time)

I'm curious about something... (and fucked up the last poll. if u saw no u didnt)
*As in, you enjoy listening to it, like it aesthetically, think of it as attractive, whatever. This is NOT about whether or not you understand the language or if you like whatever you associate with it or whether or not it's "useful" (e.g. If you do not speak a single word of japanese but really love how it sounds, vote for it. if you think italian sounds sexy but don't really care about visiting Italy, vote for it. If you like the look of the hebrew alphabet but not how it sounds, DONT vote for that. It's about the sound.)
Before you come at me: These categories are not perfect. Some of them are sub-categories of a bigger family (Indo-European), some languages are in the same category but sound really different etc etc. I had to leave out or group some of these together in a way that I felt made most sense for what I wanna know & the demographics of this site. I'm not a linguistics expert.
Feel free to share your thoughts in comments or tags! 👍
#languages#Last time i made a poll that got some traction i had soo many ppl get mad. and this one actually does have some non-ideal choices#hence the huge disclaimer. sorry#anyway vote before you read this but#i am curious cause i allllways heard ppl talk about how nice romance languages sound (usually italian or french)#but i always had just. a different taste ig. i dont really like how vowel-heavy those 2 are#idek what to vote for myself tbh. i got a thing for persian rn (dont even speak one word of it tho) and also mandarin#but overall i gotta go with afroasiatic ig. for now at least#i thought about making this a two parter also asking about what ppl actually spoke but making this one was enough work lmao#re did the entire thing to make it 1 week and added more stuff too just now#txt

Knowing 5 languages with mediocre skill is not enough I need to be rlly bad at a 6th one
#what if. Farsi#stuck b/w Persian and Turkish lol#u would think maybe I should learn urdu or smth it would have more utility#yeah but#not interested in Indian subcontinent languages tbh like Bengali is enough for me#all this cuz someone in a lecture was like ‘yeah I picked up Turkish a few years ago’#like excuse me what#langblr#1k

At this point, theories don't matter because SJM changes her mind but this is probably my favourite, tragic theory. LoA suffering through Beron to protect Helion <3
#he's very insistent that she chose to stay with beron#even more tragic#she's doing it for you!!#eris was born very quickly#also i know eris is pale but so was lucien in book 1 and sjm has described helion ambiguously as persian#he could have his mother's alabaster skin

Something something Decepticon recruitment (+physical exam) yada yada putting my Malay twins headcanon to good use and making names (and a non-typical matrilineal last name as opposed to a patrilineal last name) for them :P
Old fanfiction as well as echo chambering myself I have got some headcanons in my mind that do not make surface level sense but have Syakir and Darwesh bin Kalsom!
#skyquake#tfp skyquake#dreadwing#tfp dreadwing#transformers#tfp#humanformers#fanart#look look look- i used [western] sources for names because i'm in [english majority country] and maybe can't get a good list of names#especially not knowing whether they're authentic or not :P any malaysian folk in the chat do forgive me#eitherway- i did at least try to find what the sources claimed the origins of the names were#from my understanding syakir is the malay (and indonesian) form of arabic and urdu shakir (which means thankful but i that didn't matter)#darwesh is the hindi version of darwish which is an old persian but also malay name that i actively chose to make hindi#(because i wanted to hear how it was pronounced but since i didn't have the script version the only way i could hear it was the hindi way)#and kalsom for a character that only exists in my head is the malay and urdu form of the arabic kulthum meaning full-cheeked/beautiful#again- my outsider understanding of the names mostly as a way to kinda brute force the terms skyquake and dreadwing into malay forms#it was really funny looking for dreadwing's human name a lot of them that i could find ended up being versions of david haha#one of them was i think dawoud (which i think was muslim)#it did make me shudder that if dreadwing anglicized his name he'd be david so i hopped the train to darwish/darwesh#which is more technically darvesh give or take dialects so no wumbo here#which btw skyquake ends up being right about the callsigns- human dreadwing hates that his callsign is DREAD wing- skyquake loves his tho :

another thing i need desperately is a Single crumb of seyhan pov. an average day in his life. how is he dealing with being promoted from secretary to nº1 Henchman
#he’s dealing with every situation so normally my guy THESE SITUATIONS ARE NOT NORMAL AT AAALLL#like imagine you’re a foreigner delegate becoming the secretary of an important lord#the lord is competent the pay is nice the position is cushy. nothing to complain about#then one day your boss brother goes apeshitt bc he never learned to read chinese and takes it out on YOUU??#then your boss. now looking more drawn and tired and freaky than you’ve ever seen him is like#hey i need u to go to dadu. to kill an important guy. that alright with u?#and he’s like 🧿👄🧿 ok#also after the first encounter between wbx and 3prince when he’s just like so did sucking dick work my liege-#LIKE!!#Nº1 PLOTS AND SCHEMES SUPPORTER AND HYPE MAN RJFJEJ#inshallah u get that payraise u deserve it#tre reread#send post#but also nice detail wbx can speak persian!!!!

I just wanna stop by real quick to say that I really adore your Gio art, especially the little scenes with Persian... They're so good and you draw them so distinctively, they're all visually so full of character <3 Thank you!
awawawa thank you!!! :D
to me Giovanni is a perfect combination of that villain trope, 'horrible person who treats their pet better than anyone else' and someone who I can project my cat ownership experiences onto
I imagine she looooves to snuggle with him and every morning Giovanni cannot get up without giving her 'good morning' kisses first
#I also like drawing animals more than people so Miette is a great excuse for that#Archer is very jealous that's why he is grumpy#he also wants kisses#but alas#mik draws#mik answers#just because Archer is a simp im adding#subordinateshipping#giovanni#pokemon giovanni#team rocket giovanni#giovanni's persian#executive archer#team rocket archer#pokemon archer#pokemon persian#fanart#digital art#drawing#digital drawing#pokemon

you say machete has to be closeted then why's he always wearing them little heels
Maybe he thinks he's a tiny bit nicer looking in them.
#no in fact he's just a little ahead of the curve let me try to explain#again I'm not a historian I'm just sharing what I've read I might be misremembering stuff so don't quote me on this#high heels became extremely fashionable in the early 1600's probably just a few decades after Machete's time#and they were originally worn by men#because they were inspired by Persian riding boots#if your shoes had heels you'd have easier time keeping your feet in the stirrups (think of cowboy boots)#Europeans saw them thought they looked snazzy and they became wildly popular in noble circles fairly quickly#for some hundred years or so high heels were the epitome of class wealth power and status and they were essentially genderless#remember that concepts of masculinity and femininity are fluid and change over time#things that were seen as manly a few centuries ago may seem downright effeminate to a modern viewer#it's all matter of perspective neither is objectively more correct than the other#they started to separate into men's heels and women's heels around mid 1700's iirc but the changes weren't massive even then#and only truly went out of vogue when the French Revolution hit in 1789#and people all across the continent were suddenly put off by everything that reminded them#of the frivolousness and extravagance of royalty and aristicracy#so in his canon timeline I don't think people are looking at him and going “hmmm that's pretty gay”#because heels hadn't become gendered yet#maybe he likes how they accentuate his already tiny paws and make his legs look even longer than they are#he's interested in fashion or at least likes to dress nicely in high quality garments#he tries very hard to look his best despite never really feeling comfortable in his skin#he was a real shrimp as a kid and even though he eventually grew up to be a beanpole he might still find the extra height appealing#no one's going to look down on him ever again#I admit the way I draw them is a lot more modern than the true historical style at the time but not outrageously so#artistic freedom and all that in the end I'm not aiming for 100% accuracy#modern au Machete has no excuses though he's just a little bit fruity#if the guy feels empowered by wearing little clip cloppers let him#answered#anonymous#Machete

Rip Xenophon and Cimon. You would have loved "300" (unironically)
I am torn, personally. Part of me feels like they would be tearing their hair out at the inaccuracies. Another part of me feels like they would just be blankly staring at the movie until Xerxes shows up and then everything would just be too much and they would just start laughing until they cried and couldn't breathe and everything hurt.
#tagamemnon#i do hate that movie so I'm biased#idk if I hate the persians' depiction or the fact that there's a guy called stelios more#or the priest people or whatever they were up on the mountain those creeps

my research partner and i are huddled in a blanket in paddington waiting for a too-late train i already miss you and you and you
#he keeps falling asleep almost on my shoulder and waking up and readjusting but i want to tell him its ok weve seen a lot#of each other ive seen your brainwaves you called me crying a few nights ago. research partner right now is a potentiality#friend is a certainty. i met a banker passionate about finance. he said his advice made the lives of others better and he likes the numbers#more than he likes anything else. on a high rise near canary wharf the view was wonderful and the people even moreso#he said i loved her but i spent 33 grand on her and i cant do this anymore. his voice cracked talking about her. he did love her.#and she talked softly she grabbed my hand she bought me a pack of Marlborough gold she told me to snap#the russian menthol cigarettes of the tortured polish man near us with my teeth i kept staring at her teeth#bright white and sharp. i couldnt find her heartbeat but i did find warmth and i did find her lips and i did feel#how she felt pressed against a wall. a pretty boy held my hand and i gave him my number. i couldnt stop smiling about her no matter#how many runways youve walked on how many collections youve designed how many students youve taught. senior lecturer teaches me how to do#very unethical things ethically over a double shot of vodka made by the half-persian with broken farsi. she talks softly#and she says her eyes are hazel but they appear a shade of red. pure gold on her hands and leather on her back and her fingers on my lips#(she talks softly sees through me she says something i cant hear but i wont forget the way she flies) she talked to my research partner#about the possibility of moving to sunny dubai with the rest of her family and my heart felt pierced. on her arm i traces a tattoo of a#knife passing through a rose. she told me she thought there was romance in severing so i kissed her some more.#he sat me down and asked me what i loved and i told him and he said no romance no person no tragedy will take that from you.#the room was filled with a collection of people in love with something that wasnt a person and i kept looking at her.#red eyes bitten jawline beautiful hands. it is 3 degrees Celsius my head is on his shoulder i miss my friends#we walked out the lecture hall with arms linked a photo of two years ago and we both said#jesus christ. i miss you all. and i miss logic metatheory lectures. im glad i get to stare at the depth of your eyes#i wish i had met you years ago.#crushposting
