#Resonant Language

[project-sekai-facts]

The flowers that appear in the 2DMV for 「１」 are purple anemones. Purple anemones mean "belief in someone" or "waiting for someone" in Japanese flower language, linking to the story of Resonate with you.

Purple anemones are also seen in the Don't lose faith! event logo.

Lie and rest, my soul.

Sink into the deep.

Let the silence wrap you

Up in blissful sleep.

I won’t let them touch you -

Pain, or fear, or freeze.

Close your eyes, and trust it,

This nocturnal peace.

What you see, my soul?

Is it fairy dream?

Let me run my fingers

Through it’s hazy gleam.

Sleep and dream of comfort,

Solace, quiet love,

Similar to quiet

Of the stars above.

Bliss is now replacing

Everlasting frown.

Rest. We share together

All this peace and calm.

Getting REALLY tired of the genre of posts insisting that anyone can be abusive without meaning to or realizing it, that it's something that can just like. Happen to you Because, and that one must be on constant alert to one's behavior lest one Become Abusive.

Like sure anyone can do anything and most people are capable of just about everything under the right circumstances but no. Not everyone is one careless action or one bad day from like. Hitting their kid or partner or convincing them that they're incapable trash or destroying a person's thi gs or gaslighting them. And yes there are some personality traits that do make those things more likely, like selfishness, self-centered behavior, inability to take criticism, entitlement vis a vis other people. Like come on.

weirdest casualty of long Covid (besides. yk. the Incurable Disability) is in terms of linguistic processing I can truly no longer talk or sing as fast as I used to

not that I was super fast before, but one of the days I was sickest, words actually stopped... meaning anything? like I was at work, I was hitting my DT script, but was pushing through on pure muscle memory phonetically. I could process what I was hearing or reading just fine, but could not talk outside of this heavily repetitive workplace script, which is actually very dystopian now that I think about it. virus hitting the brain means I'm a zombie that can't speak except to say, "HIII :) whatcanIgetstartedferyouthismorning?"

anyway, thought it was just fatigue, but went to my car on my break, watched a trending video of people trying to rap along to Fergalicious at double speed. I could LIP SYNC to it just fine. I tested my theory. but I could NOT get my mouth and voice to work at the same time to actually sing/rap it. even now, tbh, I have to make myself NOT think about it while rapping it to get the words to flow out or I get stuck. like it's truly something in the brain for where you process speech, but not where you process just lyrical phonics like music. I have to consciously make a REAL effort to turn off the "word" part of my brain to be fast again.

I speak perfectly legibly, I can genuinely get up to decently fast normal talking speeds, just not Northeastern fast-fast. but it comes up in music a surprising amount, and it's kind of annoying to have lost as a skill.

watching the first 2 episodes of frieren last year shook me so bad i still can't get myself to continue it, but between what i remember of it and the nightmares episode of dungeon meshi i can't stop thinking about the ways laios would prepare marcille for his death. what would he leave behind to remind her that he (and by extension all the people she loved and who loved her) are still with her in spirit, even if not in body?

Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: I Dream In Another Language (2017)

I watched this movie a few weeks ago, and it STUCK.

(Don Evaristo and Don Isauro just before their first interview to record Zikril together.)

I Dream in Another Language is a Mexican magic realism movie about the death of a culture. It documents the efforts of a linguist trying to save the (fictional) language Zikril, spoken only by three old indigenous people. When one of them dies, the studies come to a halt, as the other two, Don Evaristo and Don Isauro, have not spoken to each other in over fifty years and categorically refuse to have anything to do with each other. As he looks further into this, the linguist discovers that the real reason for this feud is their past relationship and an awful lot of internalized homophobia.

Zkril is an artificial language, created specially for this movie out of respect for the people who still speak the endangered and disappearing languages today. The fact that it has seemingly magic powers, and that its speakers appear to be living on after their death, clearly puts the story into the magic realism genre.

This is NOT a happy movie. The internalized homophobia part is no joke, and the main theme of course is the loss of a language, and the culture that comes with it. 

But it damn sure is leaving an emotional impact.

I strongly suggest that everyone who is even vaguely interested in this subject read up about languages and language conservation. The Wikipedia page of this movie is as a good place to start as any, since there are related articles linked in the references list. I also would like to thank @celluloidrainbow for bringing this film to my attention.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!
