hey white people . if u dont know how to pronounce an ethnic persons name *google it* or if its someone ur talking directly to *ask them*. dont fucking do that "erm i dont know how to pronounce but __" or "im gonna butcher this haha" or "im not even gonna bother trying" . ur not funny. do u know what poc think when they hear u saying that ? u sound like a loser asshole and we dont want to spend time with u . im so fucking tired of watching youtube videos about media from my country and hearing those phrases. im tired of people saying that to my face . i respect someone who clearly looked it up and is tryong but says my name wrong over someone who just goes with whatever bad first guess they had without trying. u have too many resources at ur disposal to keep doing this. for the love of god just Fucking Try. if ur confused Just Try.
I highly recommend Forvo.com, the website where native speakers of a language contribute their time and voices to read words and names in their own language. It is a fantastic way to expand your world, open up your ears, and it's way more likely to nab a hit than just googling.
wow , I didn't know this existed, thanks so much for sharing the resource !! I will absolutely be using it now too 🖤
no you dont understand its napoleon solo who never lets anyone get too close its that napoleon solo so loves so fiercely and so truly hes willing to risk everything he has for the chance to rescue his partner its napoleon solo who yearns and aches and stands to the side its napoleon solo who when faced with everything he ever wanted in life but can not have lets it go gracefully without guilt without argument ITS ABOUT NAPOLEON SOLO WHO DURING A TEMPORARY AMNESIA CAME BACK BECAUSE THE FEELING OF A GUN IN HIS HAND BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN TRAINED AND WORN DOWN OVER THE YEARS AND HAS NOTHING ELSE BESIDE HIS ABILITIES AND HIS PARTNER LEFT its napoleon solo who loves and loves and loves and loves and loves and never gets to love and never gets to live

Oh, OP this picture is at Nara Park Bus Terminal! so even if you feel super awkward in the social situation, this is actually a picture of a deer chilling at the place where everyone is expecting to see some deer. The deer is a normal part of Nara. Also this deer is totally used to being here! If it felt uncomfortable, it would leave, since the Nara deer free roam.
You just gotta remind yourself that just like this deer, you are in the situation (social) where everyone is expecting this situation to occur (social situationing), and many other people may even be expressly looking forward to it (seeing you/the deer). Seeing the deer (you) may be the best part of the situation for them.
Exactly!!!!
and even if it wasn't the sole or only reason they are there, they came KNOWING there are 1,300-1,400 deer (you) free roaming in Nara Park (in social situations) and you're going to be a delightful part of the experience. (As long as you don't bite anyone for crackers. Or headbutt them.)
This is the map of Nara Park area, btw. The bus terminal is literally right on the entrance to the park. Also the city mascot is a sika deer named Shikamaro-kun. The little blue path from the terminal is where I bought deer crackers to feed the deer in the photo on the approach to Todaiji temple. (The deer enclosure I think is Rokuen which is where the sick or pregnant deer are cared for in safety.)
Anyways! The deer are expected and beloved and also protected as messengers of the gods within Nara.
(look at this guy!! Imagine he is the same deer as in the first photo, it's just months later with his antlers grown in more and he's napping in the sun in front of a sign that says deer! he was never out of place, he just needed a sunshine nap!)
Deer (you) isn't actually out place at all! deer is important and appreciated. Also if people make deer (you) feel like you don't belong in their (your) own house, you can tell them to leave.
Or headbutt them for crackers. Your call.

illya, caught up in his feelings for napoleon, is offered a deal by angelique. against his better judgement, he takes it. (eventual napoleon/illya, with plenty of our favorite THRUSH femme fatale along the way.)
finally completed the first chapter of my latest TMFU fic which i’m so delighted to share with folks! we should have gotten screentime with illya and angelique, so i took it upon myself to write a little something featuring two of my fave bossy blondes (with eventual napoleon/illya to come…..stay tuned………) <3
good afternoon to all depressed slavs
i am once again asking all depressed slavs to have a good afternoon and also to oppose all forms of autocratic governments
I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.
