imagine when silver and sonic first meet in 06 and silver is throwing hands for seeming no reason from sonic perspective and sonicās like, bro chill out touch grass or something and silver just fucking looses it
CRYING........ guy who is an expert in making a bad situation worse
Bonus:
#sth#sth fanart#silver the hedgehog#sonic the hedgehog#sonic 06#roonies doodles#roonie answers#deadly combination of silver not knowing slang and exceedingly poor word choice on sonic's part#this is crazy work from silver's pov tbh. if the guy who allegedly caused my world to be on fire told me to 'chill' and 'touch grass'#i think i'd probably rip his head off on the spot too#both of their crashouts are fully justified tho. it was absolutely silvers fault elise got kidnapped for the seven thousandth time

The whole "no gendered pronouns" thing is probably the most commonly known/brought up fun fact of the finnish language, but there's more to it. There's a pronoun distinction of human/nonhuman, and while many dialects don't bother with the hƤn-pronoun at all, and simply refer to both humans, animals, and inanimate objects as "se", wherever the human pronoun is used, it also encompasses any and all creatures that the speaker considers sufficiently sapient or sentient to be considered "a person". This covers gods and goddesses, humanoid supernatural creatures (with a distinct That Is Not A Person exception for zombies), aliens, and occasionally pets. Everyone knows someone who refers to their dog as "hƤn".
But the plural "they" also has a distinction of hƤn/se, with the same logic as he/him - who/whom, making a distinction between "they" who are people, and "they" that are either animals or objects. The dialects that don't use the human pronoun don't make this distinction either, but if someone is clearly speaking in formal finnish that refers to people as hƤn, but uses "ne" instead of "he" when referring to people, it's a very understated but nonetheless clear way of implying that those people are not people.
So finnish has:
They (singular, person pronoun) They (plural, of people) They (plural, inanimate/non-sentient/degoratory)
#knowing about this kind of subtle nuances makes me understand why anime is so hard to translate to english#like the original japanese might have been like āwho are you people (degoratory word choice)ā and the person addressed takes offense at tha#and in order to make the dialogue make any sense in english#they'll have to translate it as some shit like āwhat the fuck are you faggots doing hereā#which is out of character and clunky

Ok, here it is. We've had the 'insane things Paul has said about John' list, now here's 'insane things John has said about Paul'*
*Note: Some of these are āJohn said to meā quotes rather than words from John himself, so take these ones with a grain of salt.
And because so much of Johnās Paul-induced insanity reflected in his actions, some (dis)honourable mentionsā¦
Cutting up a girl's clothes and calling her a whore for sleeping with Paul (from the Beatles Anthology book)
Being mean to Jane when Paul first meets her
Defending Paul after the LSD controversy time and time again
Writing 'I'm always perfect' on a photo of Paul and 'funeral' on a photo of Paul & Linda's wedding
Getting upset about Too Many People and writing How Do You Sleep in response
Mocking the Ram photo with a pig
Using the 'Let Me Roll It' riff in Beef Jerky
Having a fight with Yoko and immediately running off to Paris
Other icebergsā¦
Insane things Paul has said about John
McLennon - by @frodolives
Paul McCartney - by @frodolives

"We do need each other alot. When we used to get together after a month off, we used to be embarrassed about touching each other. Weād do an elaborate handshake just to hide the embarrassment⦠or we did mad dances. Then we got to hugging each other. Now we do the Buddhist bit⦠arms around. Itās just saying hello, thatās all." - - John in Hunter Daviesā The Beatles: The Authorised Biography (1968)
Houghton: How do you feel about Paul McCartney now? John: Uh, weāre ā haha. [laughs] This is like a joke: āWeāre just good friends.ā Weāre ā weāre pretty close now, like I was telling you before. - 1974 interview
"Nobody ever said anything about Paul having a spell over me, when I was with him for a long time. Or me having a spell over Paul. They didnāt think that was abnormal, two guys together.

And maybe had we gone on together, maybe something more interesting would have come out of it." - 1980 interview (submitted by @thewalrusespublicist)
"I mean, there were quite a few women heād obviously had that I never knew about. God knows when he was doing it, but he must have been doing it" - 1972 interview
āItās just handy to fuck your best friend. Thatās what it is. And once I resolved the fact that it was a woman as well, itās all right.

Iām living with an artist whoās inspiring me to work." - 1971 interview (note: I know the 'best friend' here is Yoko, but the implications, baby...)
"He rang up and said heād got this job and couldnāt come to the group. So I told him on the phone, āEither come or youāre out.ā So he had to make a decision between me and his dad then, and in the end he chose me. But it was a long trip." - 1971 interview

"It would not have been the same. It would have been a different thing. But maybe it wouldnāt either. Maybe it was a marriage that had to end. Some marriages donāt get through that ā that phase. Itās hard to speculate about what would have been." - 1980 interview (submitted by @thewalrusespublicist)
"I was living with Paul then, so I wrote with him. Itās whoever youāre living with. He writes with Linda. Heās living with her. Itās just natural" - 1971 interview
"It's like when the lawyers come into the divorce, you know? And that makes it a whole different ball game, you know⦠'speak to my lawyer'" - 1973 interview
"It was never a legal deal between Paul and I. It was a deal we made when we were fifteen or sixteen, when we decided to write together, that weād put both our names on āem, you know." - 1980 interview
"And āgo out and get her,ā you know, and forget everything else. So subconsciously I take it that he was saying, āGo ahead.ā On a conscious level, he didnāt want me to go ahead. So subconsciously, he⦠The angel in him was saying, āBless you.ā The devil in him didnāt like it at all. Because he didnāt want to lose his partner." - John talking about Hey Jude, 1980 interview
"When I slagged off the Beatle thing in the papers, it was like divorce pangs, and me being me it was blast this and fuck that" - 1974 interview
"And itās really lawyers that make⦠divorces nasty. You know, if there was a nice ceremony like getting married, for divorce, then it would be much better. Even divorce of business partners. Because it wouldnāt be so nasty." - 1971 interview
"Itās like asking a divorced couple, āWhat day was it that ā that decided you to ā that the marriage wasnāt going well?ā I didnāt ā there was no date." - 1976 interview

"I seen through junkies, I been through it all, I seen religion from Jesus to Paul" - 'I Found Out' lyrics, 1970 (submitted by @johns-prince)
āIām glad thatās over. I feel like Iāve been keeping a vigil for him. Not that I care, you understand.ā - John, according to John Green, Dakota Days (1983)
"One girl very shyly gave George a button badge which said āGeorge for PM.ā āWhy would Paul McCartney want you?ā said John to George.ā - Hunter Daviesā The Beatles: The Authorised Biography (1968) (submitted by @didwemeetsomewherebefore)
John: "I was trying to put it 'round that I was gay, you know-- I thought that would throw them off⦠dancing at all the gay clubs in Los Angeles, flirting with the boys⦠but it never got off the ground." Q: "I think I've only heard that lately about Paul." John: "Oh, I've had him, he's no good." - 1975 interview (submitted by @johns-prince)
And I had a little upstairs, an unusable upstairs, and I kept a radio up there. Very faint. All of a sudden John said, "Is that Paul?" I thought it was somebody he knew named Paul. I didn't see anybody walk by. I said, "No." On the radio, Paul McCartney. We never mentioned anything about The Beatles. This little, low sound you could barely hear, he picked it right up. So, it just made me aware of how much attuned he was with The Beatles after they broke up.. - Gary Tracy, John's optometrist (slightly different version here)
John: "I've always thought there was this underlying thing in Paul's 'Get Back.' When we were in the studio recording it, every time he sang the line 'Get back to where you once belonged,' he'd look at Yoko." - 1980 interview (submitted by @johns-prince)
But in mid-January 1973 Lennon and Ono quarrelled publicly at another party. āI wish I was back with Paul,ā Lennon reportedly said. - Peter Doggett, You Never Give Me Your Money: The Battle for the Soul of The Beatles. (2009) (submitted by @notgrungybitchin)
'From time to time John would say to me ''I wonder what Paul is thinking about, right now.'' I said John, I've only met him a couple of times in my life you know ⦠I have no idea. And John would ask ''Do you think he thinks about me at all?''' - Elliot Mintz (submitted by @thewalrusespublicist )
āHe was always saying, āI wonder what Paul is doing.ā When John and I were together, and this is about a week or two before our relationship ended, I remember him saying, āDo you think I should write with Paul again?ā I said, āAbsolutely. You should because you want to. The two of you as solo performers are good, but together you canāt be beaten.ā - May Pang
āYeah, I miss Paul a lot. Itās been a year since Iāve seen him. He came over with Linda to me place in New York. Course Iād love to see him again. Heās an old friend, isnāt he?ā - 1974 interview
"I never thought weād come to that, because I didnāt think we were that stupid. But we were naĆÆve enough to let people come between us." - 1971 interview
āPaul? My dear oneā - 1980 interview (submitted by @didwemeetsomewherebefore)
"Iāve read cracks about, āOh, the Beatles sang āAll You Need Is Love��, but it didnāt work for them,ā but nothing will ever break the love we have for each other." - 1972 interview
'"I just saw a girl who said she saw John Lennon walking down the street in New York wearing a button that said, "I love Paul." She asked him: "Why are you wearing an 'I love Paul' button?", and he said: "Because I love Paul." - Harry Nilsson anecdote (submitted by @bluewater9)

i really canāt explain this feeling.. hearing jjongās voice is one thing (a very precious one i donāt take for granted) but to hear him be so readily and frequently directly and explicitly mentioned and talked aboutāto the point where it made headlines at first and then it just started being normalāis completely another. having their 17th anniversary show begin with a song by him that they completed for him and end with a song for him, singing how they hope their voices reach him, and key explaining this through teary eyes, leaving no room for speculation. even having the rest of shinee joke around and complain about his poet artist guide all the while itās all actually just thinly (if at all) veiled praise and admiration.. having taemin compare his voice to an instrument and (after recording a song written almost a decade ago that they changed so minimally itās almost imperceptible and yet it still sounds so fresh and current) say almost casually how good jonghyun is and how he couldāve written so many great songs with some of the people taeminās worked with.. even just having ć

ās official return in the merch. itās indescribable
#i literally finally donāt feel insane anymore#i mean. i always feel a varying degree of insane but not about wanting MORE of jjong in the shinee context#this is how itās always been and this is how itāll always be#and to be clear i would never say they /shouldāve/ done this sooner or anything of the sort#itās fully their choice how they decide to honor him#and keep his memory#but to those of us who miss him so incredibly much every day itās immeasurably precious#everything all of it. every word and every mention#shinee

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#a-yuan#Ultimately...despite how hard we try to reach people - sometimes it just is not possible.#Sometimes all you can do is wish that things could have been different. You pen a note with all the things you want to say -#and then you let it go. The words stay unsent and unspoken. You just watch the rift between you grow until you're too far away to try again#It is a sad end! It is two people who want to be closer but do not have the right capacity to do anything but shut doors.#Worse yet; it's two people who feel it is not their place to try and impose anything more.#It takes so long to heal from endings like that. You never get enough closure when there is still a faint hope of 'another day'.#It's a false amicability. It's closing a door and telling yourself that at least the windows are unlocked.#WWX will keep up his friendliness as a way to hold LWJ at a distance. LWJ can only try to help so many times.#Speaking of tragedies of trying to help; Let's talk about the addiction metaphors in this episode.#WWX tells LWJ in fairly straightforward terms that he does not *want* do be doing ghost cultivation.#What he wants is to protect people - by any means necessary. If he had another option he would take it.#The path WWX 'chose' is one that is deeply mired in external shame and taboo. He jokes about it but it clearly doesn't feel great.#And I put 'chose' in quotes because just like many who find them selves in bad situations - the choice is an illusion.#He's adamant that this is 'his' choice. That he is in control.#Better to be villainized that endure the terrifying reality that you lack any ability to have choice anymore.#If he had the choice - truly had the choice - he would not be doing this.#You can't help those who don't want to be helped. So of course all LWJ can do is watch from the side. Offer a hand when he can.#This life was a tragedy and the countdown to it all blowing up started a long time ago...

Nico referring to his mom as "Mama" implies he most likely at least used to refer to Hades as "Papa" and i 100% headcanon he still does but mostly in the manner of him having the entire Underworld wrapped around his finger for being the baby of the family
#pjo#riordanverse#nico di angelo#headcanon#my art#nico flexing youngest child privilages by pulling out the most pitiful expression he can manage#anyways i find it fun to explore character word choices#cause yknow no two characters are going to select their words the same way#or even necessarily think about it to the same degree#i like to think Nico thinks about his word choice a lot#so of course every time he uses ''papa'' he fully knows he's pulling the Baby Of The Family card#Hades definitely knows this too but falls for it every time anyways#cause Nico hasnt called him ''papa'' regularly since getting his memory wiped - just detached ''father'' or at best ''dad''#so it just reminds Hades of How Much He Just Wants His Children To Be Happy Like The Old Days#and how much poor Nico has been through and he's just the baby of the family and-#cue Nico smugly staring at the camera cause he knows how much power he holds#also i say Nico is Hades' only son cause mythologically even when Zagreus *is* Hades' son (rarely) he's. dead.#a major part of Zagreus' mythology is that he died#and im p sure every other deity said to be Hades' children are all goddesses and also are like 50% of the time not his#theres also only like 3 of them. and as far as we know in riordanverse canon one of them is implied to not be his daughter#so Nico is Hades' only son and also youngest in the family (cause Hazel is older by a month chronologically or 1 year biologically)#(and everybody else is a deity if children of hades at all)
