A HANDY CHART FOR THOSE OF YOU WONDERING WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THESE. NOTE THAT THESE ARE ALL THE INFORMAL AND YOU IS THE FORMAL SO LIKE YOU WOULD ALWAYS ADDRESS YOUR SUPERIOR/ OLDER PERSON/ SOCIAL BETTER WITH YOU BUT WITH YOUR BUDS YOU CAN USE THESE.

I’m not sure I knew the thy/thine distinction. Thanks for this!

[onbearfeet]

THINE IS ALSO GRAMMATICALLY EQUIVALENT TO YOURS.

“It is yours” and “It is thine” differ only in their level of formality.

VIZ Media has just announced they will re-publish the Detective Conan manga under its real title and with the original names!! The revamped volumes will be published as 3-in-1 editions, starting Spring 2027!!

[shinreddear]

Apparently, the reason why VIZ Media can finally re-publish Detective Conan under its real title is because the Robert E. Howard estate is falling into public domain in 2027, and therefore Conan the Barbarian doesn't hold copyright anymore.

While it seems completely absurd to copyright an actual surname, there is credence to that interpretation, as even Conan O'Brien had to pay the Robert E. Howard estate to keep the title of his show.

This goes to show copyright laws are often utter nonsense.

A friend pitched this fun art idea in response to the (very cool!) news that Case Closed will be getting 3-in-1 reprints under the original Detective Conan title next year! :D Adding it here to this post which provides some good context. (Thank you, OP!)

It's hard to see here... but sea butterflies are a kind of snail

It is literally impossible to come up with a fantasy worldbuilding concept that is more outlandishly weird, wonderous and magical than something that already exists in the real world

I cannot. Figure out this thing in this transcript:

I feel like I'm going cuckoo bananas. Right now I have it transcribed without the symbol as: "Well" arsa Colm leófa "Mur iasg sibh Go n-iascaidh sibh agus mad'iasg sibh har iasgaidh sibh án fhear a choíche"

But that doesn't make any senseeeeeeeee. I know the little '7' looking symbol between 'sibh' and 'ma' is transcribed as 'agus' so that's all set but I've got something majorly fucked up in here.

[wizardarchetypes]

Most maddening is that this is a legend type I'm already studying so I'm 99% sure I know what it's saying but I have to be sure wah wah wah!!! It's ALSO possible I've mis-transcribed some of the other words, which could change things around. I'm finding this particular hand-writing tough for whatever reason.

This collection includes every aspect of the Irish oral tradition.

Oh! Look on Page 0004 of the transcript. The writer put a little legend of the short hand they used. If you already have this information, Hazzah! If not, I hope it helps.
