We need to talk about this BL(YAOI) manhwa (2D)

Been meaning to make this video and start a discussion after seeing the artist tweet about the hate their art received...

the hobgoblin’s really out there constantly searching for giant gems representative of gay love, huh  

I really liked this ep here’s some analysis: 

In Tove Jansson’s work (Finn Family Moomintroll and the 90s series episodes 6-8), the characters Thingumy and Bob (or Tofslan and Vifslan in Swedish) are two tiny creatures that are self inserts of her and her female lover at the time. they are always on the run & super protective of their most prized possession, the King’s Ruby!! As stated in this documentary this ruby represents their deep romantic love for each other & they are always running from those who would rob them of it/take it away from them.

then later in episode 75 of the 90s show “The Fabulous Emerald”, Moomin has a dream where he’s looking for something desperately but doesn’t know what it is, just that he’s looking for it. He can’t shake this dream and decides to confide in Snufkin. They decide to go together to the place from his dream (secret hidden cave behind a waterfall)  and there they (Snufkin recognizes it first) discover a giant gemstone exactly like Thingumy and Bob’s, but green. It’s the Queen’s Emerald!!!

& apparently its another priceless unique magic love metaphor stone that the Hobgoblin has been searching for for hundreds of years. hm. what an interesting,. direct exact parallel. 

(listen.... Moomin not recognizing what was drawing him in but knowing he had to follow his gut bc it was important, and then, once they’re both there in a secret place together that no one else knows about, Snufkin makes the discovery/recognizes what Moomin’s subconscious was telling him to look for.... and together they find their emerald... *clutches heart*) 

anyway I loved this ep

(just my onion but maybe the hobgoblin should maybe focus on finding his own special gay rock instead of trying to get it from other couples but to each their own I guess)

The Complicated Decisions That Come With Digitizing Indigenous Languages

Putting the languages on the internet means that communities have to make complicated decisions about what to share and when.

An article in Slate about language revitalization in the digital era. Excerpt: 

At a recent conference called Breath of Life 2.0, held at Miami University of Ohio, participants explored the possibilities and pitfalls of archival databases. For the people involved in language revitalization work, whether they’re awakening a dormant language (one that no longer has fluent speakers) or trying to prevent an existing language from losing all its speakers, one of the major obstacles is a lack of digital resources.

Jerome Viles experienced that firsthand. An enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and part of the Southwest Oregon Dene Languages Project team, Viles helps organize archival materials produced by linguists and community members over the past 100 years. First, his community had to findthe documents, which were scattered in institutions across the country. But the other problem was organizing and reconciling them. For instance, some records of language may have been written by French Jesuits who came to North America to convert Native American people. But even if three Jesuits worked with the same tribe, they could all have different spelling systems. Then there are audio recordings from the 1800s and 1900s, plus ethnographic material collected by anthropologists.

What Viles’ group and many others needed was a way to collect and compare thousands of words across multiple generations and several dialects. And that’s where the Indigenous Language Digital Archive came in. ILDA is a database built by engineers at Miami University in collaboration with the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma (which built an earlier form of the database specifically for its own language revitalization work). At the Breath of Life 2.0 conference, participants learned how to navigate the software and move their documents into one big digital space. By the end of the five days, a few surprising discoveries had emerged. Community members from the Northern Paiute, working on the Numu language, were tickled to find seven different ways to say “our husband.”

“I was getting a kick out of that,” said Nicholas Cortez. “I was like, where’s this ‘our’ coming from?”
