I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

twenty-three & forty-four for the ask game?

23- What’s your favourite accessory?

I’m not very good at accessorizing to be honest. I just never end up remembering to put on anything interesting most of the time. I have a pair of earrings that look like swords, which I really like, and I have a necklace with a sunflower on it. I guess I’d call those my favorites.

44 - Do you prefer coffee or energy drinks?

It kind of depends! When I drink coffee, I like it really sweet and usually iced, and I really like energy drinks because I like fruit flavors. So I judge them purely on the taste. I usually just get soda or a hot cup of tea if I actually want caffeine, both coffee and energy drinks are purely a fun little treat.

I probably drink energy drinks more? I never drank them before starting university, though.

Me, talking about any of my characters: They have so much depth, their mind is so complex with so many layers, each more unique than the other.

(me, my parents, my sister, and the baby are sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch)

baby, pointing at the light fixture over the table and signing "on": o.*

my sister: we actually can't turn that light on right now, because the lightbulb inside is burnt out! it needs a new one.

baby: ighbu.

sister: yes, lightbulb! granddaddy said after we eat he's going to climb up there on a ladder and change it, and then the light will come on!

baby: gadada! adda, uuu! ighbu o!

sister: exactly!

baby, signing "on" and pointing at the light and then my dad, with increasing urgency: GADADA ADDA UUUU. O.

my sister: we're going to finish eating first though, ok?

baby: nonono. O. gadada adda uuu.

baby, pointing to himself: ba. adda uuu. ighbu.

me: you're going to climb the ladder and change the lightbulb yourself?

baby: dzyeah. *pointing to the buckle where he is buckled into the high chair* ububu.

me: unbuckle you? so you can change the lightbulb?

baby, highly businesslike: dzyeah.

12 & 34 for the ask game :]

12 - What’s your favorite shape?

Um… maybe a triangle? Something basic like that. Very easy to doodle.

34 - If you were to become an insect, which insect would you like to be?

Ladybug!! Very underrated part of a garden. They eat other insects that hurt the plants. Also they’re just cute. They’re little beetles! With polka dots!!
