More about me under the cut! ;P
Some musician or whatever just dropped an album titled Icarian now all his fans are gonna think I listen to music when I do NOT
Come a hundred or so years when we are all old watch there be like grade school class projects kids do where they look back on their grandparents’ or whatever older relatives social media accounts dated when they were young adults and teenagers in the great internet archive to see what they were like and my future relatives whether it be through my sibling’s end or by some string of connections via adoption whenever I eventually get married to be someone’s nonbinary boy or girl toy will go to my account and be like what the fuck why was our great so-and-so a tumblrina who only talked about shit like men scissoring and drawing cartoons and had niche internet microcelebrity clout
My entire family follows my instagram and like I don’t even filter out the shit I usually post like everything over there is still gay and trans and despite being this open they still don’t seem to grasp that I am. Oh you know. Gestures vaguely
"ao3 is the modern day library of alexandria" no that title goes to the internet archive. ao3 is the omegaverse website. easy misconception.
Commissions are always open BTW unless stated otherwise. LOL <- has nothing to do right now
big fan of shakespeare villains who step onto the stage and immediately announce “I am here and I am evil. I am here to do mischief.” and then that’s exactly what they do for the next two hours. no other motive is ever explained. at the end they fail. kings
people keep tagging this ‘fernando alonso’ and i was like who tf is that???? so I looked it up and he’s a race car driver. from spain. so, for sure my favorite shakespeare character
Since I kept getting nasty anons in the past about similar something that annoys me that I mainly see in cis people is when they go out of their way to complain to a trans person how they have so many original characters or draw too much “men” for their liking and somehow this equates to misogyny or whatever they think it is. Like for starters it often is a gross oversimplification of the gender expressions I assign to characters and just because a character might be visibly masculine or use masculine pronouns doesn’t mean they’re some cis man and also like. LMAO where on earth do you get off feeling entitled to police harmless traits a trans person clearly wishes to project onto their own original concoctions because it usually is clearly coming from a place where they feel a lack of specific representation and thus go and create their own. Like this was rampant in roleplay spaces I tried to participate in and have since separated myself entirely of and it was always immediately delving into the classic transphobic belief that transmascs suddenly are immune to experiencing misogyny by virtue of being trans like oh my god the nerve these specific cisgendered folks had actually still gets to me to this day and I can’t stop thinking about it rn.
We have a houseboat in tboy cove rn and have had property for like several weeks now but before we had like a house in second life we would just have to sneak into various my little pony sim houses that were left unlocked if we wanted to watch a movie and it was always such a dangerous game because this isn’t allowed and people on second life hate squatters but I swear nothing is funnier than walking into some bronie’s house and then turning on Paul Blart Mall Cop 2
it's poor form to air your petty grievances with someone when it comes out they did something actually bad. save that for companies, like when you learn duolingo removed kanji from its beginner's japanese courses as part of their collab with crunchy roll
duolingo is shit for japanese imo*, here are some apps i reccommend:
Hey Japan - comes with a cute shiba inu bc fuck that aggressive owl. its basically duolingo made specifically for japanese and much better at teaching you HOW the language works.
Kanji Study - its the grey one, made by one person. it covers the first 80 kanji plus the main radicals that make kanji up, PLUS hiragana and katakana FOR FREE. you can practice by drawing, flash cards, multiple choice, and you can decide whether you read or select the romanji/character/meaning. i learned hiragana in 5 days using this. the upgraded version (one time payment) with higher level kanji goes on sale a few times a year, consider supporting the app if you find it useful
Todai - more advanced but good for reading comprehension. japanese news in... japanese. highlights which JLPT level words are and gives percentages of each level for each article. has inbuilt dictionary to check words you dont know.
Takoboto - my preferred japanese dictionary but there are loads out there. i like it bc i can search in english, romanji, kana, or kanji and it breaks down kanji compounds into individual characters. it also shows different conjugations eg: to eat, eating, ate, to be able to eat, etc
those are just the phone apps i use, there are so many other resources out there that are free and not pulling bullshit like skipping one of the 3 'alphabets' of a language
*to be clear the reason i think duolingo is shit for japanese is that it doesnt follow the JLPT pathway. which... you dont NEED exactly, but i think the country that had to make a new, easier language profiency test bc not enough people were passing the existing one will know how to build courses that teach their language. plus duolingo is doing *gestures* whatever shit that is up top.
if you seriously want to learn japanese, memorise your kana (drop romanji asap or youll forever struggle and I'll come to kick your shins) and find the ebook of genki 1 that someone uploaded, or some other JLPT N5 course. but NOT duolingo.
Edit: just realised that duolingo may be your only real option if your first language isnt english (too easy for me to forget, sorry). in that case, make sure you supplement duolingo with your own kanji study!!!
renshuu is one of the best resources out there!!! i’d definitely recommend it if you want to learn vocabulary or kanji. It mainly teaches through repetition tests but i’ve found it the most helpful out of all the apps i’ve tried. you can choose courses or make your own and it has the option to write your answer, has games and a built in dictionary with pictures and example sentences. it has a premium version but the free version is still super complete
#vr chat is also a good outlet to practice languages and what you’ve learned with native speakers too#Chinese cafe tends to have a lot of folks from east Asia hanging around and they usually are on there to practice their own English#so people there are nice and patient and it’s a good atmosphere overall#I’ve noticed similar with duolingo LOL like it barely did much for me aside from letting me brush up on words itself
Thank god the Abnormality event had a few V-Tech friendly tops along with some actual pants for the eBody Reborn as well as some super cute SLUV skins I wanted to make a donkey so badly but am too lazy to figure out the UV textures 😭
you know how dan heng grew up in jail was kicked out as a teenager and blade immediately tried to blow him up? yeah
If I have to be recommended another incredibly sanitized queer romance that feels like it was written to make fujoshis out of middle aged women who watch too much Hallmark Christmas movies and Bridgerton I will frow up
