I know that the Nevermoor fandom has always been kinda small and casual on the best days (and very obscure on the worst), but especially now that silverborn is coming out soon, I sometimes wish it were a little bigger and more active.

Granted, I know that I’m a hypocrite because I myself am too busy to add much (and I totally gave up on the Nevermoor Fun Facts, no matter how much I tell myself that I’ll get back to doing them again soon) but I still wish the fandom was just a little bit more active and energetic sometimes.

Someone needs to science me. I mean it. All I want to do is play Pokémon. The dilemma? Every time I play Pokémon: I fall asleep. I never nap. In fact, I have trouble napping. I have trouble going to sleep every night! And YET when I hear the sweet dulcet tones of the hyped battle music, my eyes grow heavy. Explain that! Someone needs to science me right now! Run the tests! I have badges to win and children to provide for!

Idk if I was the one to start this but I think I got people to start headcanoning Zach with Psychopathy? Me and Cozette were talking about it in the discord server so maybe thats where it came from. Ik I was the one to bring it up in the server at least

Maybe I’ll write a whole analysis/reasoning why I headcanon it

i love japanese. I love thinking about it, reading about it, talking about it, teaching it, thinking about how to teach it. I love reading in japanese. self-help books I'd get no enjoyment out of in English feel fascinating and inspiring in Japanese. I can be delighted just by, like, recognizing a word i learned recently. I love talking about Japanese with Japanese friends; I love watching my non-native friends progress in the language. I love the conceptual connections I can make in Japanese, and how they only grow and interweave more abundantly the more I learn.

Like yesterday I realized that the 丁 in 丁目, used in addresses to refer to a section of blocks in a neighborhood, is conceptually linked to 包丁, a carving knife, and マグロを一丁, one gutted tuna: the 丁 in all of them refer to (I believe) the idea of something being divided into parts. This connection between city blocks and gutted fish doesn't exist in English, but it makes sense in my head because I have access to another language. Many, many such examples.

I remember the first time I looked at a then new-to-me kanji, 銅, copper, and thought that it should have something to do with metal before I even registered why I thought that. The 金 radical had entered my marrow so deeply that this new kanji literally tasted metallic to me, and when I found out it meant copper, I thought, "of course, it looks just like copper."

But it doesn't, obviously. It looks like a bunch of lines. But also it looks and tastes and feels and smells elemental.

I remember the first time I realized that tsuna is rope and tsunagari is connection and tsuku is to stab and tsukamu is to seize and tsuku means to stick, to adhere, and OH! The sounds themselves are imbued with meaning! "Tsu," ahem, *connects* concepts that would, again, otherwise be totally unassociated in my mind: in Japanese, to stab is to connect a knife to a body, just as tsukuru, to build, means to connect materials to create (nail enough shingles together and you have a roof, for example).

This post has no point other than to say im back, baby 😎 back to learning japanese

Love seeing people talking about the endings of Signalis, but whenever I see one being lifted as more canon than the others I think about that tweet from Yuri Stern that pretty much said point blank that there was no ending that was more or less canon or final than the others...

*Steeples fingers together* The peer review process is important, its good, it means that your biases dont get past first draft stage. Having said that it did hit me with the psychic blast of "Oh shit thats actually worst, you know thats worst right?"

i don't like the year of hell story-wise because 1) they tried to do too much with these two episodes which led to the overall cacophony (then i found out that at first it was a plot for a whole season and i was like oh this makes sense) 2) how the story handled chakotay. text meme he wouldn't fucking say that.

but!

i think somewhere in there there is an epic parallel (that i made up) going on to how janeway will deal with bringing voyager home on 'her terms' in endgame (by wiping out the original timeline in the process)

see also how they took away annorax's wife from him and they take chakotay from janeway both in the year of hell and endgame haha

is ‘time to re:start’ the only event that starts off with the whole “black background white words with mc’s inner thoughts” setup like the beginning of the main stories? i was going thru the early events and just realized that it starts off like that before cutting to baby airi flashback lol

It is as far as I can remember. I’m wondering if it’s because it starts out as a flashback like the main stories do, so they had present day Airi narrate it, but then next time they had a flashback they just gave up on the concept.

Seriously don’t understand people who don’t see that Jayden and Miyao are clearly written to be in love. Jayden specifically refers to his and Miyao’s playing around as flirting and expresses a happy resignation towards his creeping romantic feelings for him.

Also the line where he states he’s never desired to quit being partners with Miyao kinda makes me wonder if Jayden had the opportunity to leave Miyao and chose not to.
