Hello, new followers! My blog is a crazy place, so time to talk about some tags to make it easier for everyone.

Block any tags you feel you need to.

I love Star Wars, and tag that as #star wars. (My current obsession within Star Wars is The Bad Batch. You can block #the bad batch, and/or #tbb.)

I love cats. A lot. I use the #cats tag, #my cat, and #loki the cat. Will still be using #alley cat to share about my recently deceased baby boo.

Other tags I use frequently are #personal, #makeup, #lol, #nature, #birds, #fanfiction, #fanart, #writing, #whump, and #astronomy.

I tag adult content as #nsft, and sometimes #mdni.

I try my best to tag #salt, and #wank.

Other tags are #tlovm (The Legend of Vox Machina) #spn, #The Lord of the Rings, #lotr newsletter, #The Hobbit, #httyd, #rtte, and #doctor who.

personally I'm annoyed by the socioeconomic conditions that made words like "unalive" necessary but simultaneously impressed by the linguistic adaptations young people have made to continue talking about important things while subject to those conditions and I think if you can't hold both of those thoughts in your head you might just be old man yelling at cloud

[a-wild-embubble]

Two of my niblings (10 and 7) self-censor like this in real life during actual conversations. I tried briefly to explain to the 10-year-old that they didn't have to do that in real life after they said "unalive" out loud in casual conversation, and they just said they preferred to. On the one hand, I'm sad to see them unconsciously and fully without awareness succumbing to the panopticon. On the other... this post.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

it's not unprecedented in the evolution of languages to see euphemisms adopted as synonyms or even supplanting earlier terms. lots of people say "passed away" even in situations where there would be no particular social cost to saying "died".

for a particularly strong version of this kind of replacement: the word "bear" comes from a proto-Germanic word meaning "brown one" because there was a taboo against saying the animal's actual name. the taboo is gone but it was so strong in the past that we have no record of what the proto-Germanic word for "bear" even was.

maybe in 300 years the word "die" will be archaic and kids will dig it out of an etymology textbook and start using it because "unalive" is getting censored.

[luggifer4]

die has actually already undergone this process. die originally meant "flow" (i guess it's like you're flowing out of life or something? or maybe your life is flowing out of you idk). it was (probably) loaned from old norse to displace the now obsolete "swelt". and yes, that is the root word of "sweltering"

I want you to know this had me HOWLING with laughter 😂

[offeryoucannotrefuse]

I am completely sure that Hondo Ohnaka could be dropped into the ATLA universe and absolutely nothing would change. He would still try to kidnap the magic child, lose repeatedly, and insist the entire time that they were the very best of friends. The magic child would agree.

Kanan never told ezra jedi were forbidden from romantic relationships because he knows ezra would laugh at him for fifteen minutes and tell sabine and zeb.

"if you hurt him"

"If?" Whumper cuts in, chuckling at the notion from caretaker. "I already have".

Caretaker's eye begins to twitch as they watch a sickening grin appear over whumpers face.

"And it's going to get a lot fucking worse for him if you don't do exactly as I say, capisce?"
