Day 2 -River(s) (alternative prompt)

Baby Jason got adopted by Selina instead of Bruce. Grew up to become one hell of a fierce tiger. Selina is very proud <3

Bonus, this is Stray!Jason:

today i learned that the finnish word for ‘hazardous waste’ is ongelmajäte, which can also translate as ‘problematic garbage’ and my roommate and i immediately agreed this is a word that belongs on tumblr.

[callmebliss]

Your fave is ongelmajäte

[you-had-me-at-e-flat-major]

in german it’s Sondermüll which means special trash and that too belongs on tumblr

[pyrebomb]

One man’s ongelmajäte is another man’s sondermüll.

In Ehren des Speak Your Language Days präsentiere ich das beste Wort der deutschen Sprache:

[thatswhywelovegermany]

Doch, although seemingly inconspicuous, is one of the most complicated words the German language has to offer. It is mindboggling how many functions and how many different meanings this little four-letter one-syllable sucker can take on.

Doch as an adverb

In this function, doch can mean anyway, nevertheless, regardless, nonetheless, although, still, yet, though, but, after all.

Sie ist dann doch gekommen. (She came after all.)

Das war spät, doch nicht zu spät, hoffe ich. (That was late, but not too late, I hope.)

Freundlich, doch bestimmt, verweigerte er der Gruppe den Eintritt. – (Politely but firmly, he denied the group entry.)

Doch as a response particle

In this function, doch expresses a contradiction when answering yes/no questions that contain a negation, affirming the fact negated in the question. This is the amazing function of doch most commonly referred to when mentioning it in a blog post, being the third German response particle besides yes and no.

„Du willst ihn aber nicht heiraten?“ – „Doch.“ ("But you don't want to marry him?" – "Yes, I do.")

„Hast du sie nicht angerufen?“ – „Doch!“ ("Didn't you call her?" – "Yes!")

"Das hast du wohl nicht gedacht, dass das funktioniert, oder?“ – „Doch!“ ("You probably didn't think that would work, did you?" – "Oh, yes, I did!")

„Es ist nicht zu spät, oder?“ – „Doch!“ ("It’s not too late, is it?" – "Yes, it is!")

„Ist keiner zu Hause?“ – „Doch!“ ("Is no one home?" – "Yes, there is!")

Doch as a modal particle

Here it becomes even more complicated because in this function, doch can have three distinct meanings that—depending on the context—partially contradict each other.

1. Doch as an emphasizing or intensifying particle

Firstly, doch may emphasize and intensify—for example, a fact, a question, or a request.

Ich würde ja gerne kommen, aber ich habe doch eine Verabredung. (I’d love to come, but unfortunately I already have an appointment.)

Nun ist es aber doch ganz schön spät geworden. (It has turned out to be quite late after all.)

Du hast doch gefragt, oder? (But you did ask, didn't you? [said in a slightly exasperated tone])

Komm doch mal her, mein Freund! Was ist das hier? (Come here a moment, my friend! What is this? [said in a stern voice])

2. Doch as a softening particle

Secondly, doch may soften the tone and make it friendlier—for example, turning a command into a wish or a suggestion.

Lieber Frühling, komm doch bald herbei! (Dear Spring, please come soon!)

Bring doch gleich etwas zu trinken mit! (Why not bring something to drink while you're at it? [Side note: the particle gleich is translated as "while you're at it" here, implying that the person talked to has gotten up to fetch something else.])

Schlag doch zu! [ironisch] (Go ahead, take a swing! [ironic])

Mach doch was du willst! (Do what you want! [I'm tired of arguing with you.])

3. Doch as a reminder of a known fact

Thirdly, doch can express that what is being stated is known or indisputable. In this sense, it is used almost exclusively in written language—and only very rarely in colloquial speech—specifically and obligatorily in causal clauses with verb-first word order.

Er hat sie sehnsüchtig angesehen, liebte er sie doch. (He gazed at her longingly, for he loved her.)

Danach zog sie aufs Land, wollte sie doch dem Lärm der Stadt entkommen. (After that, she moved to the countryside, wanting to escape the noise of the city. [Doch is not translated here; in this piece of literature, it should have been made sufficiently clear beforehand that she loathed city life.])

Ich würde ja gerne kommen, aber ich habe doch eine Verabredung. (I’d love to come, but don't you remember that I already have an appointment.)

My boy applin.

After years without posting here on tumblr um finally back with a fanart of one of my favorite Pokemons.

I have so much to update here lol

[lulila-safu]

[lulila-safu]

I'm posting this AGAIN because tumblr decided to hide it from tags, so the old version was deleted.

Anyways, I animated the members as a typical anime ending in the early 2000s

Tokyo mew mew is the inspiration. There's a scene in the ending with all the protagonists as chibis running with a colorful background behind.

loop version below↓

As an anime nerd this rocks! They are so cute!

[redpandarascal]

in conversation about white people who go to Japan and expect their knowledge of anime to culturally carry them, I was once posed with “it’s like if there was a Japanese guy who was obsessed with spongebob and came over here and thought he could get by just communicating in spongebob quotes.” This is a false equivalence because if such a man existed we would crown him king. We’d love him. Americans would fucking love that. sometimes I get sad that this isn’t a real guy I can invite to a party.
