It’s the genshin anniversary today. This game has existed for 4 years, and I have been playing it for 2 of those (I kinda skipped Fontaine but we don’t talk about that). Feels kinda weird that it’s already been so long.

My 3 current favourite characters and mains.

My toxic trait is that no matter what I need three hours to myself at the end of the day to do absolutely nothing.

They’ve been rebuilding the Tower of Babel, but this time they have a team of linguists on site. Every time God smites the builders and invents a dozen new languages, the linguists have a dozen decently sized translations in about a month and work can start up again.

The linguists have been really into it. They say the new phonemes are fascinating. As for God, I assume that at this point he’s just curious to see how far this goes.

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

To keep us on out toes, God gives the next group of builders an extra place of articulation called the flongus between the pharynx and the glottis, creating an entire new column of the IPA chart with sounds between sounds that are literally physiologically impossible for non-flongled people to replicate.

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

Improved symbols for the flongal plosives ("gacks"), flongal trill ("hacks"), flongal fricatives ("groans"), and and the flongal lateral approximant ("moans")

[inthefallofasparrow]

Update: The builders have now simply switched to communicating entirely through a universal sign language like they should've done to start with. No sounds need be spoken, flongal or otherwise. The Tower steadily rises. Be seeing you soon, God, you little bitch.

[koth-harvest-final]

update: the builders are all speaking different sign languages now

One pitfall when trying to analyze fantasy settings based on real world history is ignoring all of the worldbuilding implications the magic has, and I notice some posts here are maybe a bit over-eager about sharing such information to the point where they fall into it.

For example, posts saying that fantasy settings where gender equality and queer people are normalized are unrealistic because in real life the child mortality rate was very high and etc.

Except they're talking about a story is not set in Real Life Medieval Europe but in a world with versatile healing magic made accessible even to the poor to some degree through church charity or government public health institutions, and even spells or magical items that can instantly and completely transition someone.

Or that one post that was going around about how expecting the demon army to surrender after the defeat of the demon king is "great man theory" but in pretty much all fantasy settings that have such a thing as a demon king he's usually a demigod who can legitimately solo armies, is physically near-invulnerable, and obliterate entire cities.

Killing the demon king in such a setting would be less like assassinating the president and more like erasing the enemy's nuclear weapons. It's actually credible that the balance of power might start to shift from there even ignoring the effects on morale.

If you ignore stuff like that you might actually be engaging with the setting less than the rationalist fanfic writers.

hello i would like everyone to know that sometimes you can sob your eyes out and have an existential crisis one moment and then suddenly you're booking your driver's test and applying for jobs and crocheting a blanket and maybe life isn't so bad anymore!! maybe you can feel awful and fix your life anyway!! maybe you're allowed to be a wreck and still be good enough!! i am a full on adult and have avoided getting my license for years but now i'm finally doing it because i've grown around the fear!!!! the world didn't crash and burn when i was fifteen!! i did this for myself and i'm going to be okay!!

affirmations for the bus:

- it’s ok to be on-time

- you’re allowed to be at the stop at the time you’re meant to be there

- people won’t be upset if, when you get to the bus stop, you stop and let them onto the bus instead of making direct eye contact and driving away without stopping at the bus stop

- please
