That moment when you have to let people be wrong about you because correcting them would make you seem like an unbearable show-off
I was at a bookstore with a friend the other day and I was looking at a book in German that I was interested in buying, but then I saw that it was a translation and had originally been written in French
I commented idly to my friend "Sometimes I don't buy a book because it's a translation and I always prefer to read in the original language when possible" and she said in an agreeing-with-me way, "Yeah it would make more sense to read it in English"
and I realized she assumed I meant English when I said "original language"
but I couldn't bring myself to say "Yeah, or French or Dutch or Spanish or Italian or Portuguese or one of the other languages I read..." because like. who says that kind of thing.
#it's odd but i've suddenly been noticing a lot of people underestimating me lately#like i told a friend i was studying compsci/programming#and she started sending me like... links to absolute beginner 'how to start learning to code' resources#which of course is very sweet and i really appreciate her supportiveness!#so i certainly don't want to say 'lol i passed that point 10 years ago but thanks'#or my friends know perfectly well that i'm a language professional and have spent time studying many languages#but somehow they don't seem to make the connection that that translates into having actual abilities?#like i can piece together the meaning of a sentence in russian or chinese and they'll go 'wtf' like i'm a wizard or something#or i've mentioned a few times that i read for fun in various languages but that seems to just go in one ear and out the other for most folk#and they still can't conceive that i would read a WHOLE BOOK in a language that's not german or english#these are just two examples but i've seen it happen with several other things too#and i'm just... not sure how normal people handle this sort of thing?#how do you let your friends know what you're capable of without coming across as an arrogant prick#i'm not seeking approbation and so i don't tend to boast#but i think maybe i err too hard in the opposite direction?#maybe i've been accidentally implying all these years that i'm Very Amateur in all my interests/hobbies#i don't know how to strike a reasonable balance#but it does feel kind of. weirdly alienating. to suddenly realize most of my friends really don't Know me in this way#cosmo gyres#personal#tag rant#i guess what annoys me is that i'm very careful not to do this to others#if someone tells me about a certain interest or hobby of theirs i assume by default that they must know So Much about it#and if i dare to send them or suggest them anything i always preface it with 'you probably already know this but...'#or 'this may well be something that's painfully obvious to someone with your expertise but...'#and i would try to never make any statement or suggestion that implies i think they're at a low level in [whatever that thing is]#so it bothers me a bit when other people don't take the same consideration. i guess.#(not enough to do anything about it beyond blogging with mild annoyance. but hey)

I have two question for the ability of perseverance! Ink.
One, Can he copy other's abilities just by imagining it with his broomie? Like, gaster blasters or bone attacks.
And two, can he also teleport using broomie? Since canon ink can teleport between universes and stuff.
(I don't think my English is that good forgive me)
H m m. These are interesting questions.
I suppose he could? Broomie's limitations are mostly limited on the user's creativity and mental fortitude, which basically means the user's own mental ability to conjure and maintain said spell. So, Ink could certainly try to copy other's abilities; just his low confidence and perfectionism may hinder his ability to maintain that spell for long or to even try it in the first place out of fear. It may also be inaccurate, as his knowledge of how something like a gaster blaster works would be lacking.
No. I decided to get rid of the ability for Ink and Error to teleport like their canon selves to make more sense. It would be kind of a sucky story if Ink could solve his entire issue of getting home by just teleporting with Broomie XD I also made it so they could not teleport like Dust because I wanted the "teleport" magic to be a relatively rare one in general. Dust can only teleport short distances himself, or to where he can generally see clearly. This alone makes it overpowered, as Dust can clear large gaps or cliffs as long as he knows where he will be landing is a safe one ✧˖°.

I’m picking up way more Norwegian than i expected watching Skam. I fully expected that I’d watch the entire series once through understanding practically nothing of the audio and then in subsequent rewatches after having really picked up my studies (I’m at zero studies rn) start picking up words and phrases.
I’ve already got the days of the week, quite a few personal pronouns, several variations of hello and goodbye, some numbers, variations of yes and no, please and thank you, sorry, and a few short phrases (it’s all right, are you ok. Are you sure- that kind of thing) that I can understand while having looked away from the screen and missed the subtitle, and I’m only in episode 7.
#I do understand that Norwegian is super complex and any beginners luck I’m having here is temporary#but I’m also encouraged that I’m starting to pick up basics#and if after some deep study I went and just thrown-off-the-deep-end immersed myself I’d probably not die#and like I KNOW the majority of Norwegians speak english way better than I’ll ever speak Norwegian#and in daily interactions I wouldn’t HAVE to be fluent#but if I ever traveled there/lived there I’d want to understand enough to watch tv and understand the news and just be normal there#also I think if I ever did move there I would tell all my friends to force me to speak Norwegian 100% with them#because that’s how I got fluent in Spanish#I was CONVERSATIONAL and probably a B1 before I went to Guatemala#my friend (english but living in Guatemala) took our other english speaking friend with her one day#and looked at me and was like ‘you speak enough Spanish you will be fine’ and sent me off with her friends who knew not one word of english#the ‘speak or die’ panic immersion after the first 12 hours had me LITERALLY forgetting words in english already#I was SO TERRIFIED at the start of the day like buddy I don’t speak THAT much Spanish to abandon me to the wolves#but being FORCED to do it reprogrammed my brain so drastically that I was scoring a C2 by the time I got home#it was that first 12 hours of complete immersion that made something in my brain just switch off english#my inner voice itself swapped to Spanish#something about my subconscious realizing ‘english will not help you here—don’t worry I’ll delete it for extra space’#so for the rest of the trip I never spoke another word of English and was confidently chatting and bartering with the sales people#and any word I didn’t know I just described in Spanish like my brain didn’t even provide me with the english word#and as soon as the person I was talking to told me the right word for what I was describing#that word encoded instantly#it was an amazing bypass of having to translate in and out of English#I could have probably spent two months there fumbling around and not learned much without that day-2-of-the-trip 12 hours of immersion

okay, I bought pretty sock yarn, and I have decided this is the year I'm going to finish knitting my first (and second) sock - I have started about five times but always gave up.
does anyone have a good, easy, beginner sock knitting pattern? ideally toe-up, I think? I know I've tried like three different ones but they were all confusing 🙈

hi, not to intrude but why not watch 2000's or movies/series with the type of lexicon you are familiar with for starters and then move to more recent ones? I'm mexican so i can probs help a bit with recommendations if you're interested, i'd have to search for books tho since I stopped being an avid reader but trying to get back into the habit!
Love your art!!! It always makes my day seeing you on my dashboard <3
Not intruding at all, i usually make posts like dis specifically for input! ^_^ ive been considering your first point! Jst have to get around to it... i would enjoy any book recs! Even when i do searches in Spanish i just end up with "books for absolute beginners that are more like workbooks/homework for english speakers" results -_-

I sometimes genuinely think abt how weird my relationship w english is. I think in my head in english like 68% of the time. I forget turkish words and use the english one bc it comes to mind first and ppl think I'm showing off. I talk to myself in english randomly. I don't even live in an english speaking country. Sometimes it's easier to express myself in english. I have(not to brag but) stupidly good english. All this despite not:
-having relatives who speak english as their mother tongue
-having lived in an eng speaking country before
-having stupidly good teachers(besides that one time)
Basically next to 0 external influence besides stuff required for school.
Whats funny is that it wasn't even intentional. I got really into reading fanfiction like 5 years ago. My english improving was simply an unintended side effect.

Skribbl.io on nettipeli, jossa jokainen vuorollaan valitsee sanan piirrettäväksi, jota muut arvaavat. Peli toimii tietokoneella, tabletilla ja puhelimella selaimessa. Peliin ei tarvitse tunnuksia ja peliä voi pelata millä vain nimimerkillä. Linkki huomiseen peliin jaetaan huomenna, mutta peliä voi käytä kokeilemassa tietysti etukäteen.
---
Do you want to learn Finnish vocabulary through a fun game? I will organize tomorrow a skribbl.io game, where you get to learn Finnish words by drawing and guessing them. We will use a small set of words, and tomorrow's topic will be animals, so the game is also beginner friendly!
