One of my goals is to get into K-Arts (The south korean national school of arts)

but rn... I'm having some doubts. like, I'd have to leave my cat behind for 4 years... that's so much... and I don't have the heart to separate her from the other cats (who i will miss too)... besides, I'll miss my family... ik its "just" 4 years but.... idk.

Maybe its the autism jfjdksjd

Feel free to comment or reblog with your languages.

I know English, Afrikaans, Hebrew, French, German, and I’m learning Russian and isiZulu.

Also, I was considering making posts in other languages other than English. Thoughts?

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

[pendragyn]

it's probably from assholes making asks a minefield of trolling/harassment for years with no real blocking ability, which turned people off from allowing asks on their blogs so as a whole the site moved away from it

but now that we do have better blocking, we should try to revive it.

Reblog if your ask box is open.

Romanticizing studying/education

While I am not currently enrolled in college, something I found incredibly helpful when it came to studying and taking notes was fully romanticizing it. And by that I mean going all the way in— I would put on a classical music playlist and set my LEDs to a warm orange tone and pretend I was a young scholar in ye olden days studying by candlelight, and a couple hours later I’d have half a notebook filled with color-coded notes. Another time I put on some film noir jazz and rain ambience and imagined I was a tired, grizzled detective working tirelessly on a cold case that just wasn’t making sense. And sure enough, I would have pages upon pages of notes and work completed by the end of the night. It sounds really silly but I shocked myself with how well it worked, and I wanted to share my experience with it in case it can help anyone else!

Why is the wording for this so sick

[kawamagikr]

I love that the name evil act is using a car.

Also Portuguese also has the "victim" thing and its called sujeito, kinda cool to see both languages having that.

biggest language wtf moment is when you can understand every single word of a sentence but you still have no idea what it actually means

★ This is your sign to romanticize studying! make that pinterest board full of aesthetic pictures, buy all those cute washi tapes and decorate your notes. make studying fun ★

Learn Korean vocabulary in a more organized and structured way.

Instead of a blank journal write your notes in this fill in the blanks notebook for Korean. You will learn 2500 words by filling in the blanks on the left pages and after adding relevant vocabulary on the empty right pages you will definitely surpass 3000 words and maybe even reach up to 4000-5000 words, all of which you will find neatly organized under 68 different topics.

Today's studies were a revision of consonant, vowels and the basics of batchim! i feel more confident on my reading abilities but i still have to work a lot on pronounciation (and hangul in general.)

i used Mrs Vicky's video to study, and using a post it to add little notes to my already made notes. also my username written using hangul is 가와마기 (fun fact: it comes from the word 까마귀, meaning crow. that's bc i really love crows, so i took the korean romanization and changed it around.)
