How many languages do you know at least little bit of?
Remake of an older poll (link here)
Like last time I am using a strict definition of language and a loose definition of being able to speak/knowing the language.
Details:
Sign languages count, conlangs count, super similar languages only counts one & dialects of the same language usually won't count (unless you can make multiple sentences in both that someone who only spoke the other couldn't understand), for Norwegian being able to write both bokmål & nynorsk only counts as one
You need to know more than 30 words and be able to construct at least one sentence for it to count. it has to be at least one of the following: writing/signing/speaking/whistling, it doesn't have to be multiple.
(and for people with "sampling bias" concerns, this is not supposed to represent society as a whole)
Poll:
It's super cool if you put the languages in tags

Have I mentioned how gut wrenching the slow progression from "Jonathan Sims-- Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London" to "Jonathan Sims-- The Archivist" is?
These are Jon's introductions of himself. He had already had people simply calling him "The Archivist" way back in season one, but he never introduced himself that way. He declared his title of Archivist as what he saw it to be-- a job title and nothing more.
And then we reached season three and there was a gap where we had "Jonathan Sims, former Archivist" and the words were still spoken as one would a job title but with a certain sense of grief that was incongruous with the professional veneer.
And finally, the reveal of what the Archives were and what being The Archivist truly meant happened, and Jon stopped pretending-- even to himself-- that it was just a job. No, he was Jonathan Sims-- The Archivist-- and it was spoken with the gravitas and responsibility of a king's title. It was now part of who he was.
And then, season five, and it's no longer "Jonathan Sims--". It is merely "The Archivist". Because Jon believes his humanity to have died along with the world he was tricked into dooming. His person-hood is secondary-- and can perhaps be considered more of a job title now in a similar way to how Jon referred to being The Archivist in season one. In season five, Jon believes his entire being to have been consumed by the Watcher. The Archives and his job as the Archivist can no longer be seen as a job, or even as a part of who he is, because it is ALL he is. There is no part remaining of Jonathan Sims, because he is The Archivist first and foremost. He doesn't believe his own humanity great enough to be mentioned.
He is, of course, wrong. But it wouldn't be a tragedy if he didn't realize that until it was too late.

in the tags, post where you’re from and list the first animal that comes to your head for each of these:
1. animal associated with sleep
2. animal associated with singing
3. animal associated with jumping/bouncing/hopping
4. an animal that is cowardly
5. a wise animal
6. a cunning/sneaky animal
see my tags for examples of what i mean. i want to see what other people connote animals with.

Persona Series Arcana
Big thanks to LinkTheSniper on DeviantArt for the tarot cards!!
Here's a resource for writers, artists, and readers regarding the Arcana assignment in all of the Persona games! Its ordered by Tarot Arcana, then game release.
There's an additional note for P5 Joker, because he's an interesting variant of modern Persona games in that he does not attain the World Arcana by the end of the game, but rather retains the Fool Arcana which is more in line with the Trickster archetype.

Kinda curious whats everyone’s first Pokémon game? Personally mine was Sun
If it’s a spin-off not listed specify in the reblogs what it was, also some fun additional questions:
Do you still play the games?
Are you still active in the fandom?
What starter did you pick from said game?

yeah to me it feels like the popular idea that John was homophobic/beat his kid(s)/taught them that having emotion makes you weak is just ppl choosing to interpret 'abusive father' in the shallowest most black-and-white movie villain way possible. when the ways he fucks them up in canon are so much more interesting and complicated.
