For reference, because I promised Swirlzie I’d make one.
Keep reading
Bless u omg. Actually, i might have memorized where i need to look for what theory i want to read because of how often i keep reading those jumbo threads *snickers* i really dont have a life, huh?
Can I just… talk for a moment… about how much I love how, if you know them well, words don’t have synonyms?
English, for example, is a fantastic disaster. It has so many words for things that are basically the same, and I find there’s few joys in writing like finding the right word for a sentence. Hunting down that peculiar word with particular meaning that fits in seamlessly in a structure, so the story flows on by without any bumps or leaks.
Like how a shout is typically about volume, while a yell carries an angry edge and a holler carries a mocking one. A scream has shrillness, a roar has ferocity, and a screech has outrage.
This is not to say that a yell cannot be happy or a holler cannot be complimentary, or that they cannot share these traits, but they are different words with different connotations. I love choosing the right one for a sentence, not only for its meanings but for how it sounds when read aloud. (Do I want sounds that slide together, peaceful and seamless, or something that jolts the reader with its contrast? Snap!)
I love how many words for human habitats there are. I love how cottage sounds quaint and cabin sounds rustic. I love steadiness of house, the elegance of residence, the stateliness of manor, and tired stubbornness of shack. I love how a dwelling is different to a den.
And I love how none of them can really touch the possessive warmness of all the connotations of home.
Words are great.
I did not expect to cry by the end of this, but I did. Which proves the point, no?
“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is like the difference between a lightning bug and the lightning.” - Mark Twain (and one of my favorites, since I happen to agree with everything the OP said!)
If I were rich here’s what I’d do with my free time okay Mermaid pranks Let me explain. So, I’d get one of those super fancy mermaid tails, like those sick as hell silicone ones that has the super long thick tail that uses like, toe pullies and stuff to make the fins move in cool and impossible ways. like this
(source)
And I would go all fucking out on this fit okay. We’re talking diving lessons until I can hold my breath for 7 minutes and go deep as fuck. Long hair, starfish, scales up to my tits, those funky contacts that make it so you can see under water, all of it- everything I could to make myself look as “thing of the deep but hot” as possible. Then, I’d go get some shiny valuable rocks. Pearls, Uncut gems, like super fuck’n nice ones like diamonds and shit, and ofc some gold coins. Then I’d dawn my mermaid fit and hit public waterways. Rivers, beys, lakes, places where people are around and might be swimming, but where I’m not gonna die via boat propeller, and not super crowded areas where a lot of people are swimming. Then I just prank people by poking my head out of the water and surprising them, then I motion them closer and reach into my hair or satchel or something and give them a fucking emerald, smiling all big the whole time then I just- swim the fuck away. What the fuck they gonna do now!? Keep it as a fun memory of that time a fuck’n mermaid larper gave them a shiny rock? Never know it’s actually valuable? Or do they take it to a jeweler and find out it’s real? How the fuck are they gonna explain that. They gonna tell the jeweler a fuck’n mermaid gave it to them?! I think the fuck not. Gonna pop up at the peir and smile at people and give gold coins to whoever stops. Kids are gonna freak. Put a little wonder back in the world. Flirt with pretty girls. Swim down rivers, pop up and surprise some old lady sitting by the water and give her an uncut diamond then swim away without a word.
Get a reputation as the weird lesbian mermaid who gives out precious gems and never speaks then suddenly stop without warning for like three years to give people time to forget me then do it all again.
Some color pratice
My bb 😭
Some Modern!Hiccup and Cat!Toothless I've finalized coloring recently, cause I just love those movies
Acabo de leer “Soul of a Druid” de @silverlysilence . y este dibujo de jack lo hice solo para plasmar la imagen mental que yo tenia. Efectivamente, me tomé muchas libertades XD. Ya quiero librarme de la universidad para leer las otras historias y al fin dibujar algo de esta ship
I really don’t care if there was a lot of liberties taken here, this is amazing! Thank you for the wonderful art and I’m glad you liked Soul of a Druid.
How have i never seen this 😭🥺
I don’t have “abandoned” or “on hiatus” wips. I just put them on simmer for a bit. Indefinitely.
@is-it-madness this is the funniest you will ever be
it is literally almost 2am and im sitting here being scared of the united states like what the fuck there are so many people there!!!!! and they're all just speaking with their american accent like hello??? how do you not just laugh all the time. americans wake up and go to their american jobs and american schools that's so fucking weird. i imagine it as a fake place because it's where everywhere on tv is.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN AMERICAN ACCENT?? HAVE YOU HEARD THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TEXANS AND OHIOANS???
do you think i know what ohio is
OHIO IS GOOD MORNING IN JAPANESE I THINK
this is canon
Canon.... to what??????
Tbh I think fandom generally needs to get better at sitting with the uncomfortable fact that a story/fanwork/meme/whatever can hurt one person and help another
This is why I think “tag warning” culture is kinder and more constructive than cancel culture / “no problematic content” culture. One size does not fit all, but if we learn to be more aware of the fact that the same thing can be emotionally validating or cathartic to one person and upsetting to another, and pick up a general mindset of thinking before we post, “what might people need a heads up for in this content?”, we grow more compassionate, more thoughtful, and more understanding of the differences in people’s experiences.
lifehack: when you see a Take One candy bowl in a restaurant, wait until noones looking and shovel candy into your pockets. god may judge you but his sins outnumber your own
“God may judge you but his sins outnumber your own.” We really need to start collecting and sourcing these Potent Quotables.
I’ve been doing this for years
It’s all on a google doc of mine (x)
“Kill me. Kill me and live with the memory. Then tell the stars that you won.” -fucking Warrior Cats
We live in a socie-
Wait wait you forgot the mushroom post “you can’t kill me in a way that matters” +the following uhhhh 1 sec
I find the mushroom post :)
sorry
sorry
Can we go ahead and add “one day you’ll decompose, and I’ll be there to watch it happen” to the list please
I have found something interesting and of great importance, this supremely squished facial expression comparison should be analyzed.
I-i just realized theres a submission and i cannot tell the difference between these two pics. UwU. The angy look, the cute energy radiated from two of the most adorable things ever. And that. Adorably. Squished. Cheeks. Lord, save me.
Fascinating insight from the director Peter Ramsey on the ‘pact of the Guardians’ that Jack makes, taken from a Reddit chat session he did (x)
….ok but. Is anyone else feeling a little concerned about this??? Like ‘oh, you DON’T want to contractually bind your entire existence body and soul to the whims of the world as a whole? Wow, what a selfish asshole you are. You know what, just for that complete and total social isolation until you’ve broken down enough to make said contract. And then you still have to prove you can constantly prioritize the wellbeing and happiness of others above your own before we ALLOW you to make said pact. Because you know. The kid who literally just died to save his sister is such a selfish asshole.’ GUYS I’M VERY CONCERNED NOW, WHY WAS JACK MAKING THAT OATH A HAPPY ENDING AGAIN?!?!?!
This. Honestly.
it’s that Tik Tok trend where the wife calls their hubbies by their first name for the first time
Jack: Hey, Hiccup? Pass me the fries pls.
Hiccup, without missing a beat: Didn't know we're back at that level, JACKSON.
Jack: *WHEEZES*
Hiccup, literally traumatized after hearing all the things Jack has gone through: I didn't think-
Jack: Please be careful with my emotional baggage
Hiccup: Right, I shouldn't just randomly talk about it-
Jack: It's designer
Astrid, meeting Toothless: *screams* GET YOUR FREAKING DRAGON
Hiccup: It don't bite
Astrid, hanging on a branch for dear life: YES IT DO
I see your hijack Atlantis!AUs with nerd-scientist Hiccup and exotic-silver-haired-atlantian Jack, and I love them, but. Wouldn’t the dynamic fit better if you flipped it? Consider;
Jack as the lonely, sweet guy who has never been accepted or taken seriously. Who doesn’t really belong anywhere, and is brought in to hover uncomfortably on the edges of a tight-knit group because a mostly absent boss says he’s useful. Who finds both self-confidence and a home of his own through the friendship and acceptance of people entirely removed from him by culture and time itself.
Hiccup as the terrifyingly competent, casually badass heir to a kingdom mired in traditions that he is actively trying to work around for the betterment of his home. Who has to step up as a full-fledged leader eventually, and is able to lead his people to a brighter future because he had the courage to say ‘no, the old ways are flawed and we need to try something new’.
Hiccup as the beloved visionary and warrior-ruler, with Jack as his gentler partner smoothing his way with powerful knowledge that literally no one else could have.
I’m just sayin’.
Mad, this is beautiful T-T
