[chaos-has-theories]

4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42

(Numbers chosen at random, no idea what questions these correspond to)

Weirder asks

Thank you!! Took this as an opportunity to ramble at length. You have been warned.

4. Which cryptid being do you believe in?

Listen, it is complicated.

I was raised in a type of Christian Animism. I have vaguely dabbled in Paganism since I was thirteen and and researching for a presentation on witches (historical) and instead found witches (modern). If pressed, I would identify as agnostic. I study literature with a focus on folklore and took supplemental classes in science of religion and egyptology.

All of this only works if I sharpen my Alar like I am the zumil and the world my kolee, until my mind is the box that Mr. Schrödinger locked his kitten into.

What Cryptid do I believe in? All of them. None of them. The ghost that lives in the linen closet at [hotel name redacted]. Frau Perchta, who is Frau Holle, who is god, who is dead. Myself. "Apotheosis can happen to everyone, although.... the idea of being godlike may be attractive, being an actual god is less so." (London Review of Books, February 2022)

8. How many water bottles are in your room right now?

SO MANY. I always have one by my bed and one in my backpack, and I'm not sure if it counts but a glass carafe on my desk. But of course then there's my backup glass bottle, and the ~7 PET bottles in varying sizes that I keep with my bags for cases of "I want to bring an extra bottle for my friend" or for isotonic or energy drinks or JUST IN CASE, okay.

If I don't have a water bottle with me at all times, I simply die. It is what it is.

15. Are you a parent? (all answers qualify)

Well no, but actually yes. Technically speaking? Absolutely not and thank the stars for that. Right now and in a broader sense? Yeah, kind of.

Look, I have two younger siblings who are ~10 years younger than me. I feel very, very responsible for them. I am at all times trying to make up for the things my parents are doing wrong. Right now they are off hiking somewhere for a week, so my older sibling and me are taking care of the kids (who are solidly teenagers but shhhh). It means cooking and cleaning and helping my sib go to bed without getting lost in the sauce and being emotional support and doing the are you winning son and the did you remember to drink some water. It's exhausting and it's rewarding and I love them so much. They are SWEET and KIND and AMAZING and TALENTED and I feel like that statement alone qualifies me as an honorable parent. So there.

16. Can you drive?

Nope. I've been "meaning" to learn for a few years now, but what am I gonna do, get a car? Har har.

Sth sth speaking from a place of privilege (comfortable seat on functional public transportation): it just seems like a lot of hassle and money just to drive a handful of times a year. Maybe I'll learn someday. Maybe this summer. Maybe never.

23. How do you feel about chilly weather?

For various reasons my body at all times demands

- a tight underlayer, preferably with sleeves (for autism reasons, probably. Without pressure my skin will start screaming like a freshly unearthed mandrake)

- long trousers if possible (see above, though it used to also be dysphoria reasons)

- a loose layer (for dysphoria reasons)

- and a scarf (for neck tension reasons)

So all in all chilly just works better for me than hot. Spring is my beloved because it's cold enough for some layers and bright enough to chase off the demons.

42. An app you frequently use besides this godforsaken site?

Currently? IED. It's 3D minesweeper, programmed by a friend of a friend, downloaded via F-Droid.

I have been clocking in almost 2hrs per day since I downloaded last weekend. It's fun, but it isn't THAT fun. Huge sigh.

[ratthumbsup]

7 and 18 and 82!

hi hannah :]

7. dead & born & grown - the staves

the things you know will slowly slip away / all we have is here and now, today

my beloved beloved women with beautiful voices. loooove the harmonies in this song. i was right about winter being the time where i listen to women with beautiful voices, i listened to the staves the most in january this year

18. love me more - mitski

love enough to drown it out / drown it out, drown me out

😬. not a song for when i'm at my most stable. another woman with a beautiful voice tho!

82. almost (sweet music) - hozier

do i owe each kiss to lip and cheek / as soft as chet can sing "let's get lost"? and let the good times roll

i'm exploding you with my minesweeper bomb. but i picked that lyric because i love the way it moves. i'm surprised this one is so low it's one of top 5 hozier songs i think. there's a certain quality to how it sounds that makes my chest ache a little, you know.

[kingfinfat]

You wanted an art ask! I am always on the lookout for art of Gomamon from Digimon!!! In my mind he is always lowkey playing a game of poker while wearing sunglasses or something. Or otherwise being too cool for school... except at heart he is really a good good boy with pure intentions and so maybe make him gambling while playing tic tac toe or something? Although actually any kind of Gomamon art would be beloved by me so if you're up to it, please and thank you!!!!

How do you lose money in Go Fish and Minesweeper??

[Image Description: The digimon Gomamon is wearing shades and tears are running down his face. A conversation between him and someone offscreen is taking place.

Person off screen: You.. lost, didn't you?

Gomamon: Uh.. Only a little bit..

Person off screen: How do you lose money on "Go Fish"?!

Gomamon: *sniffles* It's fine, I'll win it back in Minesweeper!

Person off screen: In WHAT.

Current Tag Game

Current Time: 12:30 PM

Current activity: Does procrastination count?

Currently thinking about: Why there isn't a simple Minesweeper app for my phone that doesn't remove the different colors for the numbers. Like, it seems like something people who are not me would also want and yet it does not exist. Disappointing.

Current favourite song: "Who Are You, Really?" by Mikky Ekko.

Currently reading: Several Boston WIPs by beloved mutuals. I've been making so many things it's been hard to find time to read, honestly!

Currently watching: Boys In The Band (2020) is playing on the living room TV right now! It's one of my favorite films because it depicts messy queers being messy as fuck but in an adult way instead of an early 20s way. It also has all the out gays in Hollywood in it, which is a gift because normally they wouldn't be cast together like that.

Recently Watched: Only Friends. I wanted to love it so much, and I love some parts of it deeply and without reservation, but man what a frustrating ride in the end.

Current WIP: Writing-wise, A Sand/Top epic that no one will read but it fucking compels me so I've somehow written eight fucking thousand words in three days. Everyone who has looked at it says "You know, I didn't see Sand/Top, but you're making me see it" and truly I guess that's my real niche in fandom in the end isn't it??

Editing-wise, I'm working on a BostonNick supercut and a Boston vid to MARINA's "Bubblegum Bitch".

minesweeper my beloved

[liber-what-ia]

Just sharing a quick list of jolly good sites probably every single soul and their aunt knows, but whatever – sharing is caring and you might still find something new.

I think these are particularly useful if you are English-as-a-second-language and I’m dropping some Italian-specific pages (prego, non c’è di che):

OneLook Thesaurus (Reverse Dictionary): so useful for varying your writing and finding that one word you can’t remember.

Tip of My Tongue: for scatterbrains like me who will remember how the word looks or sounds but not the word itself. Spoiler: 90% of times you find out that was absolutely not how the word looked or sounded but it’s a fun journey.

Thesaurus: a classic, I guess. You get the occurrence rate for every synonym, antonyms, usage and some related words. The homepage is awful but it gets better once you search something.

Urban Dictionary: of course everybody already knows it, but it has to be mentioned (use with caution, of course, and double/triple check everything elsewhere).

RhymeZone: I find this to be the most reliable one among the ones of this kind I’ve tried out. You get results by syllables and almost-rhymes that actually make sense.

Related words: so, this is kind of like playing a Minesweeper round, and it’s all but reliable, but I’ve found it useful when trying to describe a place and needing to know what might be found in that specific place.

Fantasy name generator: it says fantasy but it also has fandom-specific generators, maps, places and so on. There’s also a description generator but I’d skip on that if I were you, even though it can kick creativity back into motion. Probably useful if you’re writing a game and need item descriptions.

Visual Dictionary: this is my holy Graal every time I need to describe a machine or how it works, or when I’m in doubt about how a specific item is addressed in English. It’s maybe basic if you’re a native speaker, but it does wonders if you’re not, especially for what concerns packaging (e.g. is it a carton, a brick or a box?). It also offers fairly detailed descriptions of animal anatomy, and, in general, all that has parts or components with technical names. I used to use some schematics for teaching my tutoring students more advanced English, since the pics help a great deal and words can be easily erased (Paint, my beloved) for exercises and tests, so you might want to try it out.

Dizy (ITA only): this is a game changer since it gives you a definition, antonyms and synonyms AND adjectives to describe substantives listed by occurrence, examples, proverbs and films/books containing the word. It has also a lot of trivia about the words and their composition (roots, syllables, accents etc.) that can be extremely useful if you’re learning Italian. If in doubt, double-check meanings and etymology on Enciclopedia Treccani.

Since I’m a translator, as well as a wannabe writer, I often resort to glossaries if I’m reverse-translating something technical. Just for fun, I’m sharing a bunch of extremely specific glossaries I’ve found in my faves, so you can have a laugh:

- Ichthyology (ita). Specifically, fish in the Mediterranean Sea and I don’t even remember WHY I needed that. - Scuba diving glossary (ita but has also eng). I’m seeing a pattern here and it’s not remembering why I needed something. Please shield your eyes, the layout is hideous. - Finance (ita&eng). ‘Cause seriously, you guys use words you probably made up on the spot. - Jail slang (ita). I mean, why not? Not really reliable and sus as hell, but it had what I needed. - Neapolitan language (ita). Let’s just say I ended up giving up on using any expression listed here since I have no idea how to make them sound in a non-cringe way for native speakers. The book is also dated but I needed to write about Naples in the 30s so it worked for me. - Hessisch for beginners (de). A fun little dictionary I pick quirky words from just to have a laugh with my German family. - Panamanian slang (eng). Not at all related to one of my fics. - Aviation glossary (ita). I needed it for one (1) line and that’s all I’m gonna say about it. - Fixed phrases glossary (ita). You have no idea HOW useful this is, even for a native speaker. - Mando’a dictionary (eng) + Mandor - Guide to Mandalorian Language (sadly they removed this grammar book online but hit me up if you want the PDF). - League of Legends + MOBA glossary (ita&eng). Let me tell you that translation job was NOT FUN.

Here it was, I hope this might help someone and make their struggles with writing a bit easier.
