Cait. Nonbinary. Biromantic. Demisexual. They/Them. Thirty. Tired. TERFs Aren't Feminists. They're Just Transphobes. Exclusionists Fuck Off. If you're looking for fandom consistency you're in the wrong place.
Haver of sideblogs. If you're looking at this one like 'why are you following me??' that's probably why. Feel free to ask to make sure!
well maybe you should blearily wake up at 5:08 in the pre-dawn light and find the sleeping soft tiny mammal body of your cat just inches from your head like a miracle too beautiful for speech, and you should rustle one hand out from your blankets to rub fingertip circles across the warm eggshell dome of her little velvet-wrapped skull and on the bristly patches just where the cups of her ears begin, and as she inclines her head into your fingers and purrs without ever opening her little eyes you should feel a love so tender that you understand how that love could have reached out from the fireside into the inky spangled nights long gone to reach her, and then you'll feel better
Every 'normal' adult is fussing around Pugsley and Wednesday because "poor children that must be so hard for you to see mom and dad break up like this"
But the kid are absolutely unfazed, arguing that "it's alright they will be together again soon". The normie are so sad for the "children clinging to vain hopes" until Morticia and Gomez get married again two weeks after the divorce.
In the meantime Mama and Uncle Fester fight about which one of them will go to whose custody.
They pretend to argue in court and at meeting with lawyers over the splitting of the properties but that's mostly Gomez insisting to leave more and more thing to his wife in an angry voice.
At home they decided not to talk to each other so Lurch has to (begrudgingly) transmit messages from one to the other, even when they are sat on either side of the table.
That works (more or less) then Morticia says one word in french and Gomez run to cover her with kisses until Morticia remind him that they are spliting (that's the only moment he seems to regret the whole thing)
Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.
Wanna try voice acting but you're scared to? Cool! So are we! So we're making an audiobook about cats killing each other so we're not scared anymore! Wanna join?
Long story short: a friend and I are going to get over our fear of putting ourselves out there by narrating and voice acting a Warriors field guide, and we're looking to see if anyone wants to join us! This is not a casting call, just a check to see if others would be interested in joining. We plan on making a Code of the Clans audiobook regardless of if anyone else is brought on.
The main idea of this project is to create a space for aspiring VAs to dip their toes into voice acting purely for fun (and possibly to pursue something they want even if it makes them anxious). No voice acting experience or knowledge of the Warriors series would be needed! Purely a hobbyist fan project so it would be unpaid.
As you can tell by my gimmick account, I've always been fascinated by voice acting. It was something I always wanted to try myself, but something that always intimidated me. I didn't have experience or training, I didn't even know if my voice was pleasant to listen to. Every time I even toyed with the idea of being in a project, I worried about what people would think of me.
And you know what? I'm sick of being scared!! People should make things because they want to and because it sounds fun!! So I decided, fuck it, I'm just gonna do it and start a voice acting project.
Then I thought, "Hey, if I'm scared but want to do it, there's probably a bunch of people who are scared and want to do it". So this is my invitation for others to do it scared with someone who is also scared. Let's be scared together!
"Why 'Code of the Clans'?" Is probably not the first question you have but it is important to answer. CotC is a collection of short stories, almost all of which feature one-off characters who only have a few lines and are never heard from again. And there are tons of characters throughout these stories! This way, no one VA has to be committed to any role for very long and they can play as few or as many characters as they'd want. Since these characters have such short screen time, there isn't really a precedent for how they should sound, so VAs can play around as much as they'd like and don't have to worry about accents or anything like that! And I don't expect this project to get big by any capacity, so this way there should be room for everyone who wants to join.
If there is enough interest from other VAs, I'll make a casting call and go from there! If not, then we'll continue as a two-man show.
Thank you for reading this far, it means a lot! :]
gifmakers in the year 2026 are god's strongest soldiers. could be channelling this creativity and these ideas into fanvids with the potential to go viral on tiktok or get shared by the artist. alas I am still here posting on the website most of the world assumes is dead and for users who half the time won't even reblog if they enjoy it 👍
roald dahl was antisemitic and misogynistic. george orwell was openly homophobic. edgar allan poe married his 13 year old cousin. dr seuss cheated on his wife (and was racist as well as antisemitic!). hp lovecraft was racist as fuck.
anyways they’re fucking dead it’s not like you’re enabling their behaviors in the afterlife or something. then again I think they bleed into the books so uh keep an eye out for that
the difference between these old white guys and jk rowling is that the former group is all dead. jk rowling is alive and using your money to oppress trans people
this takes place early in zuko’s reign while he’s still trying to figure out what’s the person he needs to be for his people and sokka really goes there and says “they don’t need you do be anything but yourself”
That is profound. I noticed this by accident when asked about adjectives by a Japanese student. She translated something from Japanese like “Brown big cat” and I corrected her. When she asked me why, I bluescreened.
I’m kinda reading “brown big cat” as “brown (big cat)”, that is, a “big cat” - like a tiger or lion or other felid of similar size - that happens to be brown. “Big brown cat”, on the other hand, sounds more like a brown cat that’s just a bit bigger than a regular housecat - like a bobcat or a maine coon cat or something like that.
yeah, if you put the adjectives out of order you wind up implying a compound noun, which is presumably why we have this rule; we stripped out so much inflection over the centuries word order now dictates a huge amount of our grammar
Just looked up why we do this and one of the first lines in this article is, “Adjectives are where the elves of language both cheat and illumine reality.” so I know it’s a good article.
Things this article has taught me:
This same order of adjectives more or less applies to languages around the world. “It’s possible that these elements of universal grammar clarify our thought in some way,” says Barbara Partee, a professor emeritus of linguistics and philosophy at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Yet when the human race tacitly decided that shape words go before color words go before origin words, it left no record of its rationale.
One theory is that the more specific term always falls closer to the noun. But that doesn’t explain everything in adjective order.
Another theory is that as you get closer to the noun, you encounter adjectives that denote more innate properties. In general, nouns pick out the type of thing we’re talking about, and adjectives describe it,” Partee told me. She observes that the modifiers most likely to sit right next to nouns are the ones most inclined to serve as nouns in different contexts: Rubber duck. Stone wall.
Rules are made to be broken. Switching up the order of adjectives allows you to redistribute emphasis. (If you wish to buy the black small purse, not the gray one, for instance, you can communicate your priorities by placing color before size). Scrambling the order of adjectives also helps authors achieve a sense of spontaneity, of improvising as they go. Wolfe discovers such a rhythm, a feeling-his-way quality, when he discusses his childhood recollection of “brown tired autumn earth” and a “flat moist plug of apple tobacco.”
Brain scans have discovered that your brain has to work harder to read adjectives in the “wrong” order.
TL;DR: No one knows why we do this adjective thing but it’s pretty hardwired in.
Since it’s never credited, this is from Mark Forsyth’s The Elements of Eloquence, and just one reason why I think it’s required reading for anyone interested in prosecraft. Every page is this useful.
We know that Facebook is brainscorching your parents and tiktok is brainscorching your cousins, but some of you refuse to admit that you got your brain scorched here. However unlike those sites there isn't an algorithm here you just make bad choices.
That's all we ever wanted. To arrive at Hell as a result of our own dubious navigation skills instead of as the result of Satan owning all the road sign companies.
