These are various character exploration pieces I’ve been working on lately. <3

I posted these on Instagram and lots of people have asked can they use these as references - the answer is yes but if you use them please remember to credit me and please no direct tracing. 

Also please do not re-post my art, re-blogs are always appreciated though <3

This honestly undersells how insanely badass this woman was. Nazis were scared to fight in the snow because she was so good at camoflauging herself. 36 of her kills were enemy snipers she found and sniped while they were trying to do the same to her. She only had to stop fighting after they dropped a bomb on her because they had run out of other ways to kill her and it didn’t even work, she took shrapnel to the face and lived.

Then she got invited to the White House to meet president FDR. She liked it, but was annoyed that journalists kept asking her sexist bullshit instead of stuff about her combat career

[kenderfriend]

She’s right; killing Nazis saves lives 🙌

[imfemalewarrior]

She was featured on Rejected Princesses! She is a great example of a Virago and very deserving of being featured on the blog!

You will not believe the amount of times I’ve read an English word and thought of a pronunciation and then continued to pronounce the word that way in my head for years only to discover that it has a completely different pronunciation and I would’ve made a fool of myself if I had ever pronounced that word out loud

[nordic-language-love]

it’s okay native speakers have exactly the same experience

[randomslasher]

It’s a phenomenon unofficially known as “reader’s accent” and it’s very common! Because English has so many words (in fact considered to be the language with the greatest number of words) lots of people, and in particular those who read a lot as children, will encounter a word in writing long before they hear it spoken. They’ll develop the idea of what the word will sound like in their head, and only realize when they hear it spoken that their idea was different than the common pronunciation. 

I’ve even had it where I’ve known words as spoken words, and I’ve known words as written words, and it’s taken me a significant amount of time to realize that they were the same word. One example I can think of is the word indictment. I always thought “indictment” was pronounced “in-dict-ment,” and it was only when all these police indictments started happening on the news (with the news crawls below the words being spoken) that I realized it was “in-DITE-ment.” 

So yeah, never feel bad for discovering that a word in English is pronounced differently than you would’ve expected. English has had influence from SO many other languages over the centuries as it developed, and as a result, many of our pronunciation “guidelines” are borrowed from the languages the words originally came from. It’s massively inconsistent, and it’s one of the reasons that learning English as a second language is so difficult. 

As my favorite poster in the campus writing center used to proclaim: 

“English: A language that lurks in dark alleyways, beats up other languages, and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary.”

Fun fact: I thought that “bourgeoise” was pronounced “bur-goise” until I saw the “the birds work for the bourgeoisie” video.
