hello!

my name's Amber. she/her, 18yo

i'm a science fiction enjoyer, linguistics enthusiast, decent writer, half-decent musician, and bad artist. i mostly reblog stuff, sometimes i say stuff, sometimes i make stuff, and i'm bad at tagging things.

i like things that are slow and quiet.

i'm autistic, asexual, and transgender. i live on the east coast of the usa. i type almost exclusively in lowercase, with some exceptions.

media i like:

17776/20020

kane pixel's backrooms series/movie

project hail mary book/movie

amazing digital circus

whitepine

lackadaisy comic/show

dune book/movies

aurora webcomic

the boston red sox

some others i'm forgetting

currently working on a conlang, haven't titled it yet.

i have a youtube channel. (haven't posted in like seven months, but hopefully that'll change soon)

i'd love to post more writing/art on this blog, but i don't have a lot of it yet. when i do, it'll be here.

that's all for now.

-Amber

Some tumblr users are evil woke. They use the power of good for evil.

Sometimes I think about the fact how TRFs on tumblr like to justify their transandrophobia by sharing their beliefs that "all men are inherently evil and predatory and want to hurt women and take advantage of them" and how interesting that line of logic is, because last time I checked isn't that the same logic transphobes use against trans women?

Reblog if

It’s 104% okay to come to your DM and just say, “Hi, can we be friends?” And then start asking you random questions.

public transit should be free. healthcare should be free. there should be a universal basic income and it should be enough to live a pleasant life, not just to survive. we should have a georgist-style land tax. we should have a 100% estate tax. we should nationalize the railroads and the electrical grid and cellphone companies and facebook and amazon and banks in general. it should be impossible for any one person to have a net worth above like five million dollars or an annual income above like 800k because it would all immediately get taxed away. publicly traded corporations should be illegal. anything with more than like 10 employees should legally have to become a worker-owned cooperative. but other than minor common-sense reforms like that i actually kinda like capitalism, so i think of myself as more of a centrist liberal than a socialist.

So I might be about to reenter my conlang era... It always gets cut off short by my lack of motivation and brainspace. I just never have enough storage space to learn how different linguistics features work and implement them into my language which is usually just a phonetics chart and some phonotactics and maybe a few coined words and that's it!

And also I decided that I would love to listen to conlang fandubs of my obsessions and my brain just fills up with the urge to just watch a conlang fandub right now!!!! But then I go on youtube and am reminded that apart from like two or three channels, the genre basically doesn't exist and I am disappointed each and every time...

And basically my only real goal for my conlang is that I want to be able to have enough grammar to translate songs and scenes from my favorite things and create fandubs of them. Like I want to sing Let It Go in my conlang, I want to be able to dub various scenes from Star Wars into it, I really want to dub the Animaniacs theme song for some reason! I will make up the conworld's lore as needed as I go, but the real endgame is to be able to listen to a clip from my favorite TV show in my conlang!

But because this is my reason for creating the conlang and it doesn't seem to be a very common goal, I get really unsure and too embarrassed to actually ask anyone for help on the conlang subreddit. I know that there's a casual beginner friendly subreddit now, maybe I will ask them when I start up again. But yeah. I want to fandub!!!

hey, everyone needs a motivating factor, and there definitely need to be more conlang covers out there. if you're looking for specific conlang songwriting tips, i know zewei has a video about that (it's moreso about writing original songs but i'm sure most of the tips should still apply for covers). and artifexian is a good channel for more general tips.

for me the thing about pointless internet debates is that I used to like them when I was younger, but it was because I thought everyone was engaging them in the way I was ("here's a question without a meaningful answer! isn't that interesting? let's spend some time discussing why there isn't an answer") before I accepted that no a lot of people really do have a strong opinion on the definition of "sandwich" or how to pronounce "gif". the most common way to engage with them is to develop a strong gut-reaction initial opinion on the topic and then just stick with that until the debate stops trending. it's frustratingly uncommon to actually learn anything about why the ambiguity existed in the first place.

like idk this might just be me but I think learning about differences in perception or how some words are impossible to define is just more fun than getting performatively angry about it

everything you see on tumblr is biased towards the perspectives of the types of people who post a lot on tumblr. this is essential to remember

some quick art of mr. clark backrooms. i am endlessly fascinated by his progression as a character.

if i had a nickel for every americian i knew who switched from fahrenheit to celcius as a joke and then forgot fahrenheit because they committed to the bit too hard, i would have two nickels. one of them is my classmate and one of them is myself

[resin-ants]

it was super easy, barely an inconvenience

[iackalope]

You should switch to Celcius as a bit and then forget Fahrenheit with me

[resin-ants]

hang on did you forget that i did this? i thought you were talking about me

[iackalope]

I have three nickels

[resin-ants]
