The âbats can do calculusâ thing is funny, because if you play around with synths for a while, you realize a lot of what humans perceive as ânaturalâ sounds are just us directly perceiving certain complex mathematical things as big gestalt gestures. Like recognizing a multiplied wave as sounding like a woodwind. Hearing individual notes within a chord is basically Fourier analysis. Feeling how naturally a note decays is perceiving how linear or exponential the curve is. The fact that a sine wave sounds smooth but a sawtooth wave sounds nasally, and a square wave has a certain hollow fuzz to it. Is someone doing âmathâ there? Once you get the flavor of what each of those qualities are like, listening to the world becomes like directly perceiving math. Also, listening to birds becomes very strange. Because you realize some goofy easy weird sound you can squelch out of an analog synth is the same thing a bird is doing. Then sometimes they make a sound you canât make. What kind of math is that bird on? Makes you wonder.
You know, I do wonder if whether part of the reason Agnes kept the Cult of the Lightless Flame at arms length was just because, unlike all of them, she could still shower
alright here's today's controversial post. a good amount of you on here will be like "english was my favorite subject đđđ" and then reblog posts like "here is why sex scenes CAN'T have symbolism" and "stop consuming media with toxic characters" like okay so what were you doing in your english classes then. cause it apparently wasn't learning or analyzing. i'm pretty sure it was doodling pictures of eyes.
to the "op i'm actually NOT a native english speaker, so my 'english classes' didn't have literary analysis" people in the notes
âtake me to the book that you wish you could reread for the first timeâ
the sequel to The Thief is a weirdly brutal piece of middle grade fiction which I absolutely did read at the intended age since I found it in my middle school library... I recall one reviewer calling it âGame of Thrones for kidsâ and I never did read GOT but I wouldnât be surprised if the comparison was very apt.
Without trying to imply the current political situation in America is in any way not incredibly fucked, horrifying, absurd, dystopian, etc I have to admit that when people go all 'has ANYWHERE EVER recovered from a situation worse than this?!?!" or "This is LITERALLY the worst threat to democracy in American history!" or whatever I'm just incapable of taking them even slightly seriously.
Like FFS I know you guys know you had a civil war.
Let! That! Baby! Eat!!!!!!

i find it frustrating when a character makes a decision (especially an emotional one) that makes sense for them as a person to make in a given situation, but because the decision has unforeseen ill effects of some kind, fandoms attribute this choice to the characterâs stupidity. because itâs like. no!! they arenât stupid, they are just trapped within their story and cannot see further forward in it than where and when they are!! they are not looking at this with the omniscient godâs eye view that you, the viewer who has already read this book or seen this movie, are where you know what happens after this and the consequences of every move on the narrative chess board!! they cannot make the decisions that you think you would, knowing what you know, because they donât have all that insight!!
Vomiting in English
Some synonyms for âvomitâ (n,v) in English
barf
blow
blow chunks
honk
hurl
puke
purge
(be) sick
spew
technicolor (yawn OR dream)
throw up
toss your cookies
upchuck
Many thanks to Jav and Kelly-Lee for their contributions.
So does vomit have a special meaning for speakers of English?
Just putting a lid on the whole notion of linguistic relativity.
Itâs importance to speakers of the exotic English language is especially apparent in the phrase âpaying homage to the porcelain throneâ.
i often wonder how many ppl from 2012 tumblr are still active on here
are u also still here, lurking in the shadows????
Saw this on Twitter. What 3 potions would you drink?
I would take brown, white, and yellow!
blue, dark red, and white... the dark red and white are really just to enhance the speed at which the result of the blue happens but everything else here I either donât desire (like Marketable(tm) Ideas) or Iâm fine with my current methods.
if I could get 4 Iâd choose orange tho
I am SO confused as to what the fuck tumblr did to my blog. Because my username and posts and followers and following are all GONE... but my blogâs theme and tags(??) have been superimposed on this old alternative blog I had that wasnât even associated with the same email
baffling
MY favourite things to âyes⊠ha ha ha⊠YESâ about in fiction are:
-Older generation screws over the current generation. Just stuck cleaning up generational messes.
-Friends to Enemies. That delightful journey from âWeâd die for each otherâ to âUnfortunately, due to ideological differences, we have to murder each otherâ
-Individuals who were once relatively decent people with Hope and Dreams but something went Wrong and now theyâre going to make it Everybodyâs Problem.
- Manipulation and general mindfuckery. Bonus points for supernatural component.
- The same friends to enemies thing but thereâs some romantic tension thrown in for flavour too
- Characters having to figure out how to navigate a relationship where one or both have done things they canât forgive themselves or each other for. Bonus points if this is a continuation to the previous point.
- Character is stridently self-aware but not self aware enough to save themselves/still crucially wrong about themselves when it counts
- Character who was fervently convinced they were doing the right thing having to reckon with just how wrong they were about that
- Characterâs sense of self being utterly shattered and needing to be rebuilt from scratch
- The above, but done deliberately by someone or something that proceeds to reshape character in their/its own image
- Apotheosis, but itâs fucked up and evil
- The lull in which a character knows theyâve dug their own grave but theyâre still waiting for it to catch up to them and thinking just maybe it wonât
- When the audience is in on something the character isnât that completely reframes the situation (for the worse)
- Character who for whatever reason cannot fully express their emotions has had to sublimate them/grind them into dust; they may or may not still shine through in inconvenient and messy ways
- Character convinces themselves of something patently untrue because they canât live with the implications of realising itâs false. Bonus points if the untrue thing is that theyâre happy with their life choices.
- The only way a character can happily exist in the world is if they accept a part of themselves/a position in the world that is to some extent genuinely harmful/evil
-calm and stoic characters becoming progressively more unhinged
-corruption arcs
-demonic possession (or possession of any kind), and deals with the devil
-characters obsessed with revenge, especially if they know that vengeance is empty and wonât undo the past but they just have to go through with it
-fucked up evil mentors who are making their mentees worse, bonus point if thereâs romance or sexual tension
-seconding apotheosis above
-characters who exert control over other characters, just to prove that they can
-characters giving up- physically, mentally, emotionally. they just canât keep going anymore. bonus points if theyâre not even sure they want to
-characters who watch the âgiving-upâ happen and are powerless to stop it, but still, they have to try
-characters who are forced into hurting their loved ones, and arenât allowed to apologize. bonus points if itâs the loved one prohibiting the apology

-Dramatic, perhaps even sympathetic villains with tragic yet relatable backstories getting ruthlessly crushed by a far more insidious, industrialized, and impersonal evil.Â
-Genuinely awful character seemingly finally facing justice only to be revealed to have escaped with nary a slap on the wrist in the epilogue.
