Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Would you read a book with this title?

Absolutely!

Sure, why not?

Probably not

You could not force me at gunpoint to read something with this title

#prince of wayward blood and mist and sorrow #the title is probably longer than the book

Damn i love my parents! Not sure if it was cause I’ve been out to them as queer for 1.5 years, but their main argument for a guy hitting on my dad (through my mum) was that they’d been together for 40 years, so good luck. Fills me with so much acceptance and hope ❤️

#queer #pride month #parents #we were at a music festival #and this guy told my that that he liked his hat #then he talked with my mother. and she startet laughing a bit and said ’good luck’#when I asked her afterwards if he was hitting on her. she told me he’d said he was gonna steal my dad away from her

Me and my 86-year-old grandmother acting like we’re having a sleepover. Lying next to each other, and talking long into the night

#we kind of are though..#my parents claimed one room in the attic and my brothers the two others #was originally going to bunk with one of my brothers. but then grandma offered to share her room #this is at least a much more cheerful occasion than last time (the night before my grandpa’s funeral. the house was full to bursting)#Easter holiday #ramblings

nothing is more validating than 1.5 - 2 year-olds applauding and cheering after you sing and play a song on ukulele

Me just sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's, then suddenly my dad walks out of the doctor's office...

I don't know how unique this is to English, but this is a really nice encapsulation of how English itself has undergone a fair amount of vowel reduction already such that a majority of word-final vowels can become a schwa and still be understandable from context - so this entire letter being comprehensible when spoken verbally shows how close the vowel sounds in English have already gotten over the centuries.

All this is to say this letter is quite the brilliant refutation of the idea that a lack of a vowel inventory doomed the Neanderthal family :)

@jango-tango your tags they fascinate me:

#this is a language game we play in hungarian actually. making phrases/sentences only using e. which is entirely possible because for some reason we have a LOT of words with only e-s. which is even crazier if you think about the fact that we have 14 vowels originally (vs english's 5)

#in Norwegian we have a song where we only use one vowel in all the words and sing it until we’ve gone through all of them #before we might sing it ‘properly’#the song might be racist though..

I wear a fez now, fezzes are cool!

#i wore a fez to my christmas party today. i bought it in tunis 12ish years ago #only one person understood the refermce when i said the line..#it was a hat party..#Doctor who #Matt Smith #eleventh doctor

Not me treating my uncle like one of my girlies and telling him to text me when he gets home safe after a night out 😂

#to be fair. he’d been drinking for quite some time #and he actually did text me! big W for both of us #🥰

You know it’s been a stressful week at work when your first thoughts when waking up at 9.35 is «Holy shit I’m late for work, Which shift do i have? Why hasn’t anyone called me to ask when i’ll be there?» and you’re halfway to the bathroom before you realize it’s saturday and also the first day of your holiday

#stress #work #like. the last shift starts at 9. the first at 7.30 #i was like: i really need a shower. but there’s no time. How do i get there asap??#then i realized
