we're not going to talk about the fact that this is a year old

“So this fic has been abandoned but you should read it anyways because…” hold up. Have you not been reading all promising fics regardless of completion this entire time

[teaboot]

Today I learned that an alarming number of yall are filtering fic by “completed works only” which is WILD to me because some of the best shit I ever read was incomplete. Just like how some of the best friendships fade, the best experiences end, the best partners pass away before you’re ready. Nobody wants good things to end but they do and that doesn’t make them less meaningful. And sometimes a tree must be nurtured before it can grow

I'm the one who tells them to kill off deeply traumatized characters. they bring me into the studio and they say "what should we do next on this character's healing journey?" and then I smile and say "kill them off purely for shock value when they have fought so hard for their healing & were so close to a happier ending they could almost touch it" and then the writers mournfully start high fiving me because they have to do it now

the holy grail types of fanfic

Friendly reminder that these only happen slowly, carefully, with lots of reader encouragement, engagement, reflection, and support, and an ending is never a guarantee.

While I am also excited about Milly's appearance, can we take a moment to appreciate the appearance of my boy Midvalley here, too?

you can only reblog this today. if you even care

[thebluerequiem]

Is it just me, or does anyone else notice that Chamuring is getting incredibly more risqué with every new Han Maru art dropped? Like we can tell that you want to whore him out so bad. You might as well commit to the bit and let him get railed too.

i cannot keep quiet about this anymore.

if you're in the US or Canada and interested in learning a language using a free app please get a library card and download MANGO. it's very good and extremely free with a library card (there are many public libraries and universities using the service, so make an account and use the search feature here to find out if there's one near you).

mango currently has 72 available languages and dialects (that's right! different courses for french or canadian french! spanish or latam spanish!). it's set up basically like an audiobook with text. the idea is that the narrator explains the words while you read, and you repeat after them or say the translation out loud when prompted. there's a daily review where you go through flashcards. you can also use the flashcards at your leisure and create your own. at the end of each chapter there's a listening comprehension quiz and a reading comprehension quiz. i cannot emphasize how effective this all is. and it's free with a card.

if you're not in the US or Canada and/or looking for something more like duolingo (don't use duolingo btw tldr they fired translators and replaced them with "ai"), then try BUSUU! it only has 14 languages atm but the lessons are really descriptive and effective. it also has a feature where you can correct other people's open-ended speaking/typing exercises. you set your fluent languages, and exercises by people learning those languages will appear in your feed for you to correct. you can even add others as friends! and, much like duolingo, it has a streak and leaderboard system for you to strive for, minus the guilt-tripping owl.

busuu is free (you watch ads to unlock lessons and they're all skippable after like five seconds), although it also has paid premium/plus versions (i don't use the paid version—the language courses are available for free, and the ad system is Really unobtrusive).

so that's my wisdom for the day. mango and busuu. please check them out :)

With Duolingo doubling down on replacing contractors with AI...

Han Maru renders f2u credit appreciated

[humzbird]

I love that in the Golden Kamuy fandom, the one thing that Ogata lovers and haters can all agree on is that he's the fucking worst.

“lol why are you following the boobs and ass artist” why do you think I’m following the boobs and ass artist. do you think I go to the grocery store ironically too
