I love how my "formula" for posting here is just

1: get invested in a weirdly niche thing that barely has an active following anymore

2: draw a whole bunch of art for it and post it all at once

3: accidentally disappear into the void for months at a time.

4: repeat, this time likely with an even more niche interest.

I should really work on that sorry I just haven't been posting art much recently because I haven't been proud of it enough to share.

In today's linguistics class we talked about metaphors, and we really want two of the ones we talked about to become conventionalised.

So first of all this one girl told us about a newer metaphor in Russian, "I have paws", which is something you say when you don't really want to do something, so you say you're incapable of doing it since you have paws instead of hands. Like, "hey, finish that report" "aw but I have paws :(" and I think that's adorable. It has "I'm just a girl" energy without the misogyny.

We also had the task to invent a novel metaphor and have the others guess what it means, and the teacher really liked my "she's such a capybara" = "everyone loves her". Capybara energy is like golden retriever energy except you're chill about it. You're just vibing and everyone digs that.

Anyway I think these deserve to become more common in English
