"which pokémon are you" is a fun question but I also wanna hear about which ball people would choose to be in

[kijimha]

just because you havent seen me post about The Character in a while doesn't mean i'm any less insane about them in private

[didipenny-blog-blog]

exchanging headcanons and AUs with friends like

ok but what about:

[frowningfox]

but sometimes also

[fugue-feast]

Thinking about starting another draft edit of Iantha stories. The one I'm looking at has like 124k words (compared to Terms & Consequences 22k), so it would be a major undertaking.

Worth it? Maybe. We'll see.

Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

On the topic of fascists appropriating ancient Germanic culture.

TFW one of your mutuals' blogs just...disappears 😞

RIP @cervinesatyr, I'll miss your posts on medieval & Anglo Saxon history and our conversations about our shared niche interests

blood spray is just another kind of cumshot

[iamabsurdian]

which ao3 tag are you?

was tagged by the currently on the verge of britney crashout @royalblueheart who is not really a blue fan (total betrayal).

Oh well, to the result: who could have foreseen this?

Once in a while I will drag @toyboy-molloy because this is not writing related. I'll drag @all-truths-wait-in-all-things @darkandstormyranger and anyone else that is interested to do it because I can't remember my own moots that haven't been tagged right now (thanks, pain (👍ᴗ _ᴗ)👍).

I was on the fence about posting this story, but in light of my last reblog, it seems appropriate. A few minor details have been changed so as to preserve some small manner of privacy.

The story is in Gàidhlig (English translation follows), and is a first hand account of my own experience with the forerunner known locally in my community as "The Bone-Knockers".

Side note for you Gàidhlig-speakers: you'll notice some usage of the sràc gheur in places. This is normal, since N.S. did not officially adopt the GOC. Also, it hasn't yet been proofread for grammar (a task for next week I hope!).

Na Gnogadairean-Cnàimh

Innsidh mi dhuibh sgeulachd taibhse mu dheoghainn ro-thachaireas, no droch-chomharra bho Alba Nuadh, far a bheil mi às. ’S e na “gnogadairean-cnàimh” a th’ air.

O chionn fhada, bha maighstir-sgoile olc ann. Bha e a’ fuireach ann an seann-taighe—an aon taigh a bha thogadh mise ann. Chan eil sinn cinnteach carson a bha e “olc”. ’S dòcha gun robh gràin aig a sgoilearan air.

Co-dhiù, tha daoine ag ràdh ás déidh bhàsaich e gun robh màganan is greollain a’ lìonadh an seann-taighe far an robh e na laighe, agus gun do lean iad an ciste sìos an rathad chun cladh!

B’ ann ás déidh seo a thoisich na gnogadairean-cnàimh.

Thuirt na seann daoine ri mise is mo bhràthair: “Nuair a chluinneadh tu fuaim coltach ri cnàmhan a’ bhualadh orra fhéin, bhiodh cogadh a’ tighinn!”

Cha robh mise no mo bhràthair a-riamh a’ faicinn na gnogadairean-cnàimh, ged a bha sinn gan cluinntinn iomadh uair. Nuair a dh’fheuchamaid ri tighinn faisg orra, ghluaiseadh iad a-null is a-nall, agus bhoidh an fuaim gu h-obann fad ás!

Abair dìomhaireachd...

The Bone-Knockers

I will tell you a ghost story about a forerunner, or a bad omen, from Nova Scotia, where I am from. It is called the “bone knockers”.

A long time ago, there was a wicked schoolmaster. He lived in an old house—the same house that I was raised in. We are not sure why he was “wicked”. Perhaps his pupils hated him.

Anyway, people say that after he died, toads and crickets filled the old house where he lay, and that they followed his coffin down the road to the cemetery!

It was after this that the bone knockers began.

The old people told my brother and me: “When you hear a sound like bones knocking against each other, war is coming!”

Neither my brother nor I had ever seen the bone rattlers, although we had heard them many times. When we tried to get close to them, they would move back and forth, and the sound would suddenly be far away!

What a mystery...

its so fucked that not only did they erase our languages and beat and kill our people for using them but they stole the words of important tribes and important people and used them for the military and for trees and for food and for summer camps. average native american name is seen by non ntvs as a joke or something to use or consume, not a human being

[shadeslayer]

i like that ppl r thinking abt town names and things thats very good to be aware of but just to be clear this is actually specifically about other things actually, the things everyone but those looking up their nation forget about

sequoyah was the man who created the tsalagi syllabary before it was ever a tree

if i try to look for apparel or crafts to show off my chickasaw pride, i get results for chickasaw plums which is just a specific species of plum before i get results about human beings

others have mentioned if they google their nations name they get boot companies before their nations website!

theres a tweet that still haunts me that was about a Quirky Quasi American Restaurant in europe or somewhere that was being funny by being cowboy themed and their steaks were named after native american nations. even outside the usa we are nothing but literal dead meat for others consumption

"blackhawk" "apache" - fuck theres a whole wikipedia page for the way weve had our names used for weapons used to colonize and kill us and others!

yes talk about town and location names but you need to look farther than that. it gets so much worse, i promise

[daphrona]

wait. the death knights are basically at ICC as soon as the helm breaks. they're there the entire time.

when did sylvanas get a couple of mawsworn to fly through the sky hole, past the death knights, kidnap people from all around the world, and then drag them back?

whitemane and nazgrim reporting on missing leaders like "yeah we saw them dragging them through the sky, it was super fucked up" and genn and lorthemar are like "well did you DO anything?" and theyre like. no.

[daphrona]

i get the sky is a very big thing and it would probably be very hard to guard. the sky. in a perimeter fashion. but i mean if you see like eight mawsworn start flying out in groups of two in separate directions, i'd imagine you'd post a couple guys to watch for when they come back to try to intercept them, and that's assuming you're not following them in the first place.

[daphrona]

we were lowkey robbed of the four horsemen chasing down the mawsworn kidnappers, but i guess skeletal gryphons get tired or something.

[daphrona]

im in hysterics over this btw. some weird guys came out of the sky and we were just like "eh hopefully they don't do anything." do you remember the shadowlands expansion pre-patch. where you just waited around every twenty mintues for a mawsworn to come out of the sky and raise an old wrath boss for you to beat the shit out of. you never bother with the mawsworn guy. literally we just let these guys fuck around.

OBSESSED with this map projection that shows all the Gaeltachtaí/Gàidhealtachdan. its so cool to see physically and linguistically the ways in which the Gaelic world is connected

[saoilidhmi]

Cha robh fios agam gun canaidh iad 'Ciod e an cior a th' ort' air an t-Eilean Sgitheanaich. Cha chuala mise roimhe 🤸‍♀️

An urrainn cuideigin a ràdh gu bheil sin ceart no ceàrr?

Agus, canaidh am mapa seo gu bheil an t-Eilean eile ag ràdh ruideigin mar sin cuideachd, dè an eilean a tha fon Sgitheanach?

[fugue-feast]

Their sinn cuid de na rudan seo ann an Alba Nuadh cuideachd, ach 's toigh leam: "Dé 'n saoghal a th' agad?" "Saoghal math!"
