at least as far as french goes, learning the genders of things is entirely memorization. and yes, learners of the language struggle with it.

in fact, if you're writing and want to convey that the person doesn't speak french too well, you have them misgender inanimate objects.

there's no rules to determine a thing's gender, not even vibes; in fact, the opposite is true: for native speakers, which gender a thing is will then color the vibes that they associate with that thing. this is why i will forever associate spiders with cunning and motherood.

and finally, i've saved the dumbest for last: in 2020, there was debate if COVID is male or female.

shinichi learning french cause he wants to understand what kaito, who's fluent in it, is saying. his accent is not perfect cause he doesn't often speak it, he just likes to listen to kaito speak it, likes to be able to understand french songs or shows kaito likes, likes to be able to understand kaito's interviews and read articles of him in french. just want to understand better the love kaito has for france, the roots of kaitou kid, and share that affection for the things he loves.

"the reason adrien is just instantly good at everything he tries is because he is programmed to be that way as a senti" aside from the fact that i don't think that's how it works (and also while he was decent at everything he tried with marinette he wasn't instantly good at all of them, and what marinette actually said to him was that he could improve in anything with practice but it was a great first attempt) did we all collectively forget about how adrien actually canonically isn't the best singer?

Being homeschooled most of my life did not help my multilingual ass at all, I’ve lived in America basically my whole life yet I still can’t talk English properly because I wasn’t really required to speak in English unless I was with English only peers, but I also can’t speak any other language perfectly since I wasn’t around those languages enough because I live in freaking Florida

backing up my files & just stumbled upon a very old journal entry (september 4th 2015) that is literally the biggest egg-in-denial copium ive ever seen. godbless

[coquelicoq]

what is bothering me about the title of goblin is of course the order of the adjectives. the lonely and great god. this sounds unnatural in english, i'm not sure if it's because of syllable count or because of the meaning/type of the adjectives, but it should be the other way around. the great and lonely god. the once and future king. you could get away with putting lonely before great if they were separated by a comma instead of "and", thus making "lonely" seem to be modifying "great god" rather than both lonely and great modifying god in an equivalent way, but there's an "and" in there so never mind. i plugged the korean title into google translate and i see that they've just kept the order that the adjectives were in in korean, which is disappointing because if that weren't the case it would allow me to believe that they had done it on purpose for some effect, like to really call attention to the fact of his loneliness through unnatural phrasing that makes it impossible for you to not spend time thinking about the word "lonely". but no it's just that they translated it and then no one was like hey this sounds kinda funky. ah well.

RESIDENT INSOMNIA HERE. HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS??? I had a feeling it was gonna happen, and I know they didn't disband, but it still breaks my heart :(((( How are you feeling about it?

(I genuinely didn't expect my next comment here would be caused by THAT. I wanted to drop by on their anniversary but forgot to send the message, and was waiting for the next comeback to make an appearance again :ccccc)

Dear Resident Insomnia,

I went through the five stages of grief on repeat yesterday all day long (no pun intended). Like... This news was literally the first thing I saw when I woke up. I woke up, turned on my phone, opened Instagram, and I saw Handong's letter. The panic as soon as I realized it was a letter, I was like "don't tell me it is what I think it is". My whole world fell apart and I was crying!

Dreamcatcher means so much to me, you have no idea... It really broke my heart. I know that they are not disbanding, but at the same time, when you see the situation (Handong, Dami and Gahyun leaving DCC, Siyeon having her own band, Jiu, Sua and Yoohyeon being now a subunit), I can't help but think that we won't see Dreamcatcher together for a while... Dami and Gahyun both mentioned still coming back for Dreamcatcher, but Handong's letter hit me like a truck because it really felt like a goodbye (Why did she have to make it so sad? She really is the ice queen for a good reason (but I love her)). And Yoohyeon hitting us with a Bon Voyage now on her post DON'T DO THAT TO US GIRL!

So... I see Somnias having various opinions on the matter. Some saying "guys, they are not disbanding, they are still a group, it won't change anything". A friend of mine took the example of Shinee, with Taemin who left the agency but is still part of the group. But other Somnias also say that a lot of groups did not disband on paper but are not doing anything together anymore because of members leaving. I guess we can only wait to see how things are going to evolve from here.

In any case, I will continue to support the girls - as Dreamcatcher, and individually. I'll support the subunit, I'll support Siyeon's band, I'll support Dami, Handong and Gahyun's journey on their own. Gahyun always talked about acting so it's time to follow her dream. I'm happy they are able to grow and achieve new things, even if it breaks my heart to think about the impact on Dreamcatcher. Maybe they will also be able to take things more slowly and rest a little (because touring all the time as they did before must have been really tiring, as we could see last year with the number of times members were absent during concerts or sick).

Anyway... I feel like the two concerts in Australia this week are going to be difficult because everybody - Dreamies and Somnias - is going to be extra emotional.

Let's support the girls until the end and support them through their new journey. We are always with Dreamcatcher!

I hope you're doing good and having a good one (even with this news). Don't forget to stay hydrated!

(I love how I sound so hopeful and determined at the end, when really, as we say in French: "I'm at the end of my life". I'm still processing the news, honestly...)

I can't believe I have 100%ed mass effect andromeda multiple times and it just hit me that the jardaan are named that b/c. y'know. jardin. garden. because they're gardeners of life/their whole deal was to create the we are as space gods slash mad scientists sci-fi equivalent of the garden of eden. I may be a bit slow on the uptake in some ways
