I saw your post about #tag linguistics and it was fascinating! I was wondering if you knew any online resources/references describing the phonotactics of different languages for a mostly inexpert audience? When I poke around with my meager googling I tend to only turn up English, but I'd be really curious to see the basic rules laid out for comparison among a few different languages!
Oi! Hey there! ^.^ Hope you're doing well and thanks for the kind words!
Unfortunately I've been out of the academic loop since 2016 and I only remember a handful of resources, most of which aren't inexpert audience friendly(?).
The resource that pops to mind, regardless, is WALS Online - The World Atlas of Language Structures Online. It's a cross-linguistic feature comparison tool. It allows you to generate and investigate global maps based upon a single linguistic feature or multiple features simultaneously. I think it's a cool shortcut because it checks plausibility (for people who might not know interrelatability) on whether a language might have a combination of features. It helps visualize patterns across languages, language families, and regions.
For instance, since we're talking phonotactics, here's the map for syllable structure. Problem is WALS pulls no punches on jargon, and most of the sources it cites are, like, grammars you'd only find in print on a campus library.
On WALS, each language has a page where its features are listed. To learn the details of how the feature manifests, you'd have to use other sources. But WALS at least provides the relevant starting point of individual languages to investigate. Wikipedia ain't... always accurate or comprehensive, of course, in something like linguistics... but it's an easy way to start poking once you know the names of languages you want to snoop at.
You could try your luck with the currently-defunct World Phonotactics Website on the Wayback Machine, though that's not one I know much about, and there is the whole, uh, defunct thing going for it.
I'm sorry I can't be more help!
Nice stopping in, and thanks for the kind words of that viral post. Funny (if typically tumblr) story about that. I posted it eight years ago intentionally at an off hour of night in hopes it'd get two notes and fade into obscurity. That's why it has nicher fandom-specific references; it wasn't anticipated to escape containment, just be a convo between two friends. Yeah oops bwahaha. Gosh I was so energized at the time. Anymore I don't think it holds up remotely, factually, from any academic standing, and the inaccuracies make me twitch, but I doubt most people notice, and I hope it gives people the fun and excitement about linguistics I was feeling. ^.^ Linguistics is so cool!! And I s'pose it's been cool that one of my most-spread posts is nerdy. Oh, alas, science side of tumblr, I was amongst y'all once.

Stuff in my WIP folder
thank you to both @jaimebluesq and @fortune-maiden for tagging me (sorry it took me a while)
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you asks with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
I have a lot but ones I've actually touched recentlly or have plans to touch:
Detective WWX Necromancer nhs timeloop jgy pov Rumours of My Death have been grossly exacerbated or how to solve your murder in 7 steps
I have other stuff (including non mdzs stuff) but I fear those have left wip and become abandoned entirely...

for the shipping ask game, my current low key rarepair brainrot: Lan Qiren/Nie Huaisang
What are your initial thoughts for the ship? Oooo interesting! Definitely not one I've thought of before. The teacher and his worst (?) student is an interesting vibe. Nie Huaisang repeatedly attending the guest lectures at the Cloud Recesses means he certainly got more exposure to Lan Qiren than the rest of his peers. I wonder what Lan Qiren made of him toward the later part of canon.
What would make this an interesting ship? As I indicated toward the end of my answer to the first question, I would love to see Lan Qiren and Nie Huaisang interacting post-canon. I would absolutely read Nie Huaisang going back to his erstwhile teacher, like, Am I the gentleman you taught me to be? Or have I desecrated your teachings? And then to get as his answer affection rather than condemnation? Tasty.
Congratulations, I ship it now. :D

At the beginning of the JC/XY asks, my eyes skimmed and I accidentally read it as JC/JGY at first, and now I'm extremely amused by the crack AU where JC/JGY and XY/JGY are both happening in a parody of ethical poly and JC and XY have to put up with each other as metamours. *cue yakety sax theme*
...oh my god, I feel like they'd both hate it so much. or, actually, I feel like xue yang would think it was hilarious and jiang cheng would hate it so much.
I also feel like in this scenario xue yang would try to hook up with jiang cheng purely because he thinks it'd be really funny.
poor jin guangyao doesn't deserve that kind of stress in his life.

I've never actually read any Jane Austen, and lately I've been thinking that I want to. But I've seen so many movie adaptations and pop culture versions of P&P that I don't want to start with it - I'd rather get a sense of her writing through something I can experience on its own merits without comparing it to a bunch of other things. Which non-P&P Austen book would you recommend as a first Austen exposure?
Hmm, I would go with either Northanger Abbey or Persuasion.
Neither are her most polished work, IMO, but they are sort of concentrated Austen, depending on which side you prefer. 
Northanger Abbey is a revised version of a story she wrote as a very young woman (published posthumously because she was never able to revise it to her satisfaction, and she worried that most of the references were too outdated by the 1810s, lol). It’s the most light-hearted, with a charming, witty young hero and very earnest, imaginative teenage heroine, with a lot of parodying of Gothic romance. 
Persuasion was actually published with NA, but written much later. She’d finished it before she died and started work on a new book, but didn’t live long enough for publication (she didn’t name either of them). 
It’s pretty much the total opposite from NA, with a heroine in her late twenties who is the gentle, sensible daughter of a baronet, and used and stomped over by everyone. She broke off an engagement with a bold and charismatic (but rash) sailor when she was nineteen, and now her family is drowning in debt and he’s a Navy captain who made a fortune in the war. It’s probably the most overtly romantic and intense of any Austen novel—lots of pining and melancholy.
Austen runs a pretty wide gamut from the frothy to the angsty, so it’s hard for a single book to give an idea of the whole. But those two are the most quintessentially Austen, I think, from opposite ends.

asoue?
a series of unfortunate events! i finished the netflix series a couple days ago, which adapts the first four books, and then promptly went & read books 5-7. it’s faintly soothing in current climate to read something that’s so relentlessly emphatic about the fact that depressing events will be unfolding within.

Feeling very senti today so doing a fic rec list of all the fics that are CARRYING me in this trash year of our lord twenty twenty one. No particular order bc great things cannot be ranked!
Autumn Thoughts by softwired Sangcheng; complete - One disaster human secretly courts another more disaster human in this incredible tale of classical poetry, elegant gifts, and sloppy desperate bids for emotional connection. Come for the cute premise, stay for Jiang Cheng betting that if he runs fast enough, his feelings can't catch him bc that's how this works. Also wangxian are there, and they bought shenanigans.
The Mustache by @fortune-maiden Gen; complete - A FILL FOR MY PROMPT (😍😍😍) where NHS grows a mustache. Call me biased but this is the funniest thing I've ever read. Sometimes psychological warfare is just you, your sworn brothers, the entire jianghu, and a very specific fashion statement!
The Twin Blades of Yunmeng by @ghostysword, @sometimesophie wangxian + est. sangcheng; Ongoing - THE mdzs rewrite, THIS!!! What a brilliant and thorough reimagining of a world where JC wields both Suibian and Sandu! WWX comes back as usual, but the whole gang goes to solve the murder mystery with him and there are FEELINGS. There are some fascinating twists re NMJ's body; the character voices are ON POINT, the juniors are ducklings, JC is reluctant captain of ship wangxian, and don't even get me started on the gorgeous illustrations omgggg - like, when ya'll see and read about Qin Su mmph. This fic is an experience ok, go have it~
The Law of Unintended Consequences by @oddlyexquisite sangcheng; ongoing - An arranged marriage political drama that I could not stop reading and still think about. Do you like a grumpy purple pikachu and mastermind songbird discovering that they love each other v much actually + Niebros feels, shuangjie background feels, 3zun middleground feels? Bc this fic delivers everything. Also, what. is. happening. with the silver?? 👀👀
Telling Dreams from One Another (it's harder than you think) by @spaceshipoftheseus xisangcheng; ongoing - SPEAKING of fics that are an experience!!! Ok alright, the premise is that NMJ and JGY reincarnate, but it's SO MUCH MORE. The worldbuilding alone - like, concept art for NHS's Unclean Realm where?? The layers to every single character, do you ever want to write fanfic of fanfic? Are you ever excited for a single character to be introduced in the context of a fic? That's how RICH this story is. Every hour of every day I'm screaming at the sheer prose, the imagery, the emotions with which I am BLEST!
What we yearn for by YetForNothing the Gusu ot4; nearly complete - Oh, the sheer ambition of this fic and how i n c r e d i b l y well the author pulls it off! What if Untamed, but NHS, LWJ, WWX, & JC are an OT4? What if each of them have varying sexual orientations, gender ids, and perspectives? What if they loved each other very very much and what if all that was weaved in PERFECTLY with canon events? When I say I cannot believe fanfic is free sometimes...
That's all for now, go enrich your lives, loves!~ Also, I did my best to pull everyone's socmeds from fic notes, but if I missed anyone's tumblr or twitter, please tell and I'm happy to edit the post <33

Fic Game
tagged by @jaimebluesq  thank you for the tag :-)
Post the following:
top 5 works you’re most proud of that you released in 2022 (not necessarily your most popular)
your top 4 current WIPs that you’re excited to release in the new year
your top 3 biggest improvements in your writing over the past year
your top 2 resolutions (ways you wish to improve your writing/blog) for the new year
and your number 1 favorite line you’ve written this (last) year!
1 Top 5 works hmm not a major fan of most of my MDZS stuff this year ngl
Is it called Droidspeak? (The Mandalorian, gender headcanons)
Shadows (Ace Attorney, Phoenix is paranoid (irrationally so?) after everything that goes down in AA1. My first AA fic! So I’m proud of that)
With Love, Die (NHS having to celebrate JGY’s birthday, I like looking at some of the little moments too for NHS and this was really fun and I like how it tunred out)
Drinking Games (Just proud I finished it oof)
Jiang Wanyin’s Bad, No Good, Horrible, Very Purple, Day (crack. JC is like that tm because he hates purple, I like it because it was something different for me and though it’s really simple I completely enjoyed writing it)
2 Top 4 current WIPs
Yet another Deadset au, working title “Detective WWX” likely to be called “The Death Note” where MXY leaves a note for WWX after the array that makes WWX completely go off the rails, ignore NHS’ plan, and decide he needs to go revenge ghost hunting instead. It’s inspired by 3 songs from the English concept album Deathnote Musical soundtrack but I’ve never read/watched it lmao so. Hopefully I actually write the last third of it
Trying to write a crack fic where JGY wakes up in the future about a day after the Guanyin show down and tries to solve his own murder. And then just to solve why NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT???! It’s fun but I’m trying to write it in a specific tone so gotta keep on that
My BttF fic that I started like a year ago, wrote 80% of and then finished off yesterday. I don’t think it’ll get much attention but I’m happy to contribute something to Bttf. (it’s one of those Marty copes with the new timeline fics)
I have a half -written AA fic about Edgeworth and Phoenix spending New Year’s together after AA1-4 (and possibly some stuff about AA2-4/AA2-3) that I think will be fun.
3 Biggest Improvements
I think I’ve gotten better at writing JGY, if still not great
I try to focus a lot more on giving descriptions of people or surroundings now, not sure if it’s paid off but I know it’s there at least a little now so yay!
I’ve done prompts/exchanges for the first time this year which is obviously quite different from my usual entirely self indulgent writing and I think I did an acceptable job. Want to do more and improve in future but step up from only writing for myself
4. Top 2 Resolutions
Write more one shots/short pieces and just post them even if they’re not perfect. At least post them to my blog
Stop over committing with “long” fics. Just write what i can
5. 1 Favourite line
It’s this line from the final chapter of ‘Drinking Games’ that WWX gives to ghost!NHS. I love him and I love calling him out in equal measure
“You can save people, you can save adults- you just don’t want to try because then you have to ask why nobody saved you .”
tagging: @scaredysap 
@spaceshipoftheseus @matchakaros @fortune-maiden and anyone else who wants to play soz if i didn’t tag you!

I saw this post from @spaceshipoftheseus (and others) about "how is Wei Wuxian the head disciple as a teenager" (where are the adults?) and went off on an exploratory tangent about which words in Chinese mean "disciple."
Organized by parts of the book I found them in:
Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi's group of disciples who go to Mo Village are referred to as 姑苏蓝民长大的子弟, that is, "Gusu Lan's 子弟", disciples. When talking about Lan Jingyi alone, prior to introducing him, he is referred to as 那名弟子, "that 弟子", disciple.
The group are also referred to as 少年 (approximately "teenagers" as opposed to Jiang Cheng who is 青年 or a middle aged person who would be 中年) and also 小辈 (xiao3bei4), which I think the translators chose to translate as "juniors".
I mention this mostly because it's similar to the word 前辈 (qian2bei4), i.e. what Sizhui calls Wei Wuxian, ("Mo-qianbei") and it's kind of cute. ("little generation") Other related words are 后辈 (juniors) and 长辈 (seniors). 长辈 gets used when Jiang Cheng chastises Lan Jingyi for speaking to him on behalf of Lan Wangji at Dafan (the 长辈 are talking, why are you opening your mouth), which forces Sizhui to address Jin Ling when Lan Wangji continues to refuse to talk.
Uhhh... tangents, wheee!
子弟 = zi3di4 = a group of disciples
弟子 = di4zi3 = one particular disciple
Moving on to Dafan!
Speaking of Sizhui talking to Jin Ling, he says, hey don't you realize putting up a zillion nets is trapping 其他家族的修士? i.e. other family/clan's 修士, i.e. cultivators
The person who runs up to Jiang Cheng to report that all the nets have been destroyed is referred to as a 客卿
The person who runs up to Jiang Cheng in the tea house to report that shit's going down on this Dafan night hunt is referred to as a 门生
Su She is a 门生 when he is with the Lan Sect, and the people who show up to the Mingshi when the ghost arm is attacking people are 蓝家子弟与门生 (the 子弟 and 门生 of the Lan family/clan)
修士 = xiu1shi4 = cultivator (when cultivators are talking about each other)
客卿 = ke4qing1 = "archaic: person from one feudal state serving in the court of another" the first character is "guest" and the second can be a term for an official, or what an emperor might call his subjects
门生 = men2sheng1 = disciple
Other words!
When Wei Wuxian goes down to the cold springs to spy on Lan Wangji, the translation notes that female cultivators have a different part of Cloud Recesses, so there aren't a lot of guards in this section. The word that got translated as female cultivators is: 仙子们 (plural) (仙子 would be singular)(仙子 is the dog Fairy's name).
Mo-furen, when addressing the Lans, calls them 仙师
The waiter who recounts the tale of the Yueyang Chang massacre calls the cultivators 修仙
仙子 = xian1zi3 = female deity or celestial being
仙师 = xian1shi1 = the character for immortal/celestial being + the character for teacher or master
修仙 = xiu1xian1 = the dictionary says this is a verb "to cultivate to attain immortality" but it acted more like a noun in the text
Is there any conclusion?
Not really. I've mostly been noticing that a large variety of words are being used to describe people's positions in the sects, and got prodded/inspired to write down which ones were being used where. I haven't gotten to detailed descriptions of the Jiang sect yet, which is what the inspiration post was asking about, so don't really have answers to that. It's possible that you graduate from "disciple" to "cultivator" at some point, so being head "disciple" as a teenager makes sense? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@cujolene replied to your post: let me just be real clear, if you are so goddamn...
@spaceshipoftheseus Biden ran those camps for longer than trump has
i mean, you're just WRONG, but whatever, right? was biden part of the obama administration during a time of ratcheted-up deportations of immigrants? absolutely. 
but don't mistake that the trump administration created this mass detainment policy, the family separation policy, didn't bother to allocate resources or make plans to do any of that in ANY humane or even organized way, narrowed terms of legitimate asylum in order to turn away thousands and thousands, instituted the remain in mexico policy and the third-party country asylum policy as well. 
jesus christ, is biden great? no. has the general democratic party been jerked left on immigration enough that if elected, he likely won't be as hardline as he was under obama? very likely, especially if we continue to push. 
but if you are set on "fuck biden" no matter what, then congrats, we are almost definitely getting more trump, and more concentration camps. i sure damn hope you care about that.
