Some AAVE speakers pluralize 'child' as 'childrens'. People get racist about this ("It's already plural!"), but 'children' actually comes from Middle English speakers doing the same thing: slapping their plural marker on word already pluralized by an extinct plural marker.

To oversimplify: in Old English, 'childer' ('ċildra') was the plural of 'child' ('ċild'). Middle English developed an '-en' plural marker, which we see in 'oxen'. Instead of updating to 'childen', people slapped their preferred '-en' onto the end of 'childer' - so now we have 'child-er-en'. AAVE carries on this tradition with 'child-er-en-s'.

"Pure" language is just impurity obscured by the passage of time.

i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that

Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that companies are still trying to stomp out.

i get rly emotional abt onimais existence whenever i start thinking abt it too hard because like. its just so kind. its one of the kindest things ive ever seen put to print and screen, and the fact that it exists is just so... imagine being an egg out there yknow? imagine being in mahiros shoes and finding onimai. imagine learning, through something as tender and beautiful as onimai, that there exists not just girls like you, but other girls who are more than willing to help you grow into your new identity and love yourself for the first time.

imagine seeing yourself for the first time through mahiro, one of the cutest, most lovable girls ever made. she too had to struggle to feel out her girlhood - its scary, yknow? changes that big, even when you want it - and while this lead to situations that were embarrassing or scary, shes never someone to ridicule. shes learning, yknow? we all make mistakes. when she accidentally stumbles into old habits, or shyly tries out new ones, she's never reprimanded or laughed at. and on top of that, it provides that gentle wish fulfillment of a sister who's always loved you walking you through your transition and loving you still throughout. it provides that gentle reassurance that youre always allowed to be an adorable little girl, even if youve supposedly chronologically passed your childhood already. that one didnt count, you know? it wasnt fully yours. you get to be a little girl now. its so kind. its just so kind...

I think quite possibly my favorite line from GLaDOS in all of the media she's been in is "Federal regulations require me to inform you that this next test chamber... Is lookin' pretty good."

She sounds so smug and pleased with herself

we're overdue for a reactive wave of anti-cozy games. animal crossing but office workers. restaurant management but applebee's. farming sim but all spreadsheets. never see an ear of corn the whole game

Hot (ha) take but I think everyone needs to stop with 'oh heat in Britain is extra bad bcos we don't have the infrastructure' and 'oh it's the humidity'. We could upgrade all our infrastructure and 100% of people in Britain could be having a lovely time in the sun and the apocalyptic climate change induced heat waves would still be a problem.

[penny-anna]

If someone's response to 'this country is having 30c heat waves, which is extremely hot relative to the usual climate in the region' is 'umm but 30c is barely even hot' they have a tiny child's understanding of how the world works.

I said this last year but saying that people are freaking out about 'normal summer weather' is climate change denial 👍
