#...i need to ho to sleep

[thelesbianluthor]

It's 3:30 am so I am just gonna be very quick and say that watching Marya dive in with no fear into danger and then run back the second she was faced with her trauma. Standing on a ledge and shooting in the dark while losing her mind was heartbreaking

Van fears the sea and it may have to do with her injury. It makes sense that extreme temperatures cause issues to the prosthesis but there is more to it than that clearly

Also the rumor system is so good and so much fun. And it gives everyone a chance to talk to each other one on one

Last comment before I go to sleep is that starting the episode with a stone cold and perfect guess from Emily that didn't need any roll to confirm and ending with Siobhan immediately translating the code and getting Emily the help action and the success was so sexy

Saw a tag on a post. Made me sad/mad. Have a little rant - both about how I've seen people talk about d20 PCs and also the cast

It was saying that what we "know" about van is that she's a straight woman who loves her husband. Under a post about how maybe we shouldn't assume identity about someone based on their physical characteristics (to vastly simplify). The post even mentioned biphobia!!

There is no one way to look gay. There's no one way to look straight. There is NO RELATIONSHIP that you can look at from the outside and know all of the intricacies of. That does not mean what we "know" is that she's a straight woman married to a man. Straight isn't default. No, seriously, look at me. Being straight isn't the default. Neither is being gay

We literally only know that she is a woman married to a man - because that's what we're told.

The text has shown us that she is devoted to him, and they love each other deeply.

But, do you see how that's it? That's all we know. The default isn't straight. Women being women however they're fucking going to be and look and feel and sound ... Just makes them women. Look at the breadth and width of women we get just in the three female PCs this season.

People are like this about the cast too. People assume everyone is straight until told otherwise. Can't we just assume we don't know? Emily and Murph are married. Brennan and Izzy are married. What can we know about their relationship or their individual identities? We know they're married. That alone tells us nothing about their orientations, relationship style, or gender, for that matter. The cast are all people. They are not your friends. You don't know them.

The FICTIONAL characters that they choose to play are also not your friends. You don't know them. They are storytelling devices. They aren't even real people. But how y'all treat some of these characters and the cast that makes them up makes me worried for the real people in your lives, ngl.

For anyone else who is gonna struggle surviving the next 3 weeks with the angsty and tense situation of Callowmoore here's a few things from the last 2 episodes that I feel were underrated and will assist in trying to keep me sane/emotionally stable: - Matching messed up hands built for holding - Fearne nervously playing with her hair as she approaches Ashton - Ashton wanted Fearne to be either the last thing they saw if they died or the first thing they saw when they succeeded - Fearne's admittance corroborates Ashley's 4SD revelation that Fearne is in love with someone in the party but doesn't know how to process the emotions - Fearne wanted Ashton to be happy, while Ashton wanted to feel whole so they would be worthy of the Hells - Ashton twice tried to lead a search for Fearne, and instantly clocking onto Chetney saying he followed Fearne - Fearne making herself look as radiant as possible before giving Ashton the cold shoulder - Ashton only rose to Chetney's provocations until he said 'You hurt Fearne' Use how you will

Can i be picky, pricky, mean and bitch a little? Pretty please?

So, I've watched x-men apocalypse (wow, I'm soo early to this party). It was nice, and look, there's my country (so of course I'm gonna have opinions). And well. I've been reading fanfics, and as i skim thru the tags i see Nina Gurzsky, and then again, and hm again, and who tf is Nin... Oh, NINA, as in Erik's daughter. Wait, Gurzsky?

What kind of surname is that? Because it's not Polish. (but we can fix that.)

I know in comics Magda is of Romani ancestry but i don't remember it being mentioned in the movie? So i guess she's polish-polish. And "Gurzsky" looks like she's 4th or 5th generation of emmigrants to america, has let everyone pronounce the name anyhow which led to diff spelling, and doesn't speak polish anymore.

(Really, who came up with that name, I'd like a word. What was your reasoning, your reasearch, the background you came up for Magda? Maybe it makes sense and is justified to be like that? Maybe I'm wrong, don't have all the info, misunderstood something? Then I'm really sorry.)

Nonetheless, let us begin. Gurzsky

So i guess anglophones just skip this surname all together, but let's try to read it. It would be something like goo-zh-ski or goor-zz-ski. Both are bad and hard to pronounce. Why is the "z" there? Why complicate it unnecessarily? Let's drop it (some ppl would do it anyway, even if it being there was justified, it's called simplification and it happens when there's many hard consonats next to each other, or something, i'm half asleep). My brain did it intuitively upon reading this name. It shouldn't be there. There's no reason i could see. So it's Gursky now.

Ehh. How many times? "-ski" is traditional ending of a polish surname, and used to indicate nobility. "-sky" is traditional transliteration from cyrylic alphabet, it's for the russian surnames. (And the ending "-sky" came there from Poland.) (I'm very passionate about that, sorry not sorry. But don't get me started at another polish surname "-cki" bc americans always pronounce it wrong. That “c” is separate letter and not just “k”, and i don't think i can find corresponding sound in english language (so you might be forgiven) and i don't want to bombard you with IPA (never mind, next day me kinda wants, so, it’s like “ts”, or german “z”), especially that it's not main topic of that post. But really, you could put some effort. We know the language is very different from your own, with weird sounds, but please, try. We're gonna love you for that. For one word. Anything really. Well, you already know “kurwa”, so maybe one more. Sorry, i digress.) So, it's "-ski", but not really. This type of surname changes based on gender. "-ski" is masculine, and "-ska" is feminine. Yes, not always, there are women with “-ski” and men with “-ska”, but then it does not flex at all (same form for both genders). You just have to ask. But that's minority. So now it's Gurska.

And surnames don't have to follow general rules of orthography and flexion, they can have their own unique spelling and way of decletion, you need to ask the bearer of the name. But. They still usually do. So looking at that name? It begs to be the deriving from mountains: góry. So it should be Górska. Pronounced: goor-skah. Now it is a Polish name. A good one.

So. I'm gonna use this name for that little family. It's canon for me now. Magda Górska and Nina Górska, and Erik was going under Henryk Górski. (Kinda cute if you ask me.)

Oof, I'm done. That was long. Thanks for coming to my little ted-talk, hope you enjoyed :))

(ps. i have rewatched scenes set in Poland, and Erik actually intrudeces himself as Henryk Górski, which means i was right but also why have a made this long-ass analysis? It was fun tho, and too much of my half asleep brain power went into this not to post it.)

Summary: What would you wish for if, on one fateful evening, a Genie suddenly appeared in your kitchen, ready to grant your heart's deepest desire? Would you ask for endless riches? For worldwide fame? Or for your Italian boyfriend to see the error of his ways, crawl back to you on all fours and beg for your forgiveness? Ludwig’s answer is clear. After his and Feliciano’s umpteenth fight this week, the Italian storms out, leaving the German in the shambles of a once happy relationship. The perfect opportunity for his mystical visitor, an ambitious Genie-in-training, to test the limits of his magic—quite literally.
