Latin Verb Conjugations
In Latin, verbs are conjugated according to mood (indicative, subjunctive, imperative), tense (present, imperfect, future, perfect, pluperfect, future perfect), voice (active, passive), and person (first, second, third).

This will include both active and passive voices for the present, imperfect, future, perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect tenses.

Latin forms the passive voice for different tenses through specific endings and auxiliary verbs. In the perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect tenses, the passive voice is formed using the past participle of the verb combined with the appropriate tense of the auxiliary verb "esse" (to be).
Passive Voice
Present System (Present, Imperfect, Future Tenses)
Present Tense
1st Singular: habeor (I am had/owned)
2nd Singular: habēris or habēre (you are had/owned)
3rd Singular: habētur (he/she/it is had/owned)
1st Plural: habēmur (we are had/owned)
2nd Plural: habēminī (you all are had/owned)
3rd Plural: habentur (they are had/owned)
Imperfect Tense
1st Singular: habēbar (I was being had/owned)
2nd Singular: habēbāris or habēbāre (you were being had/owned)
3rd Singular: habēbātur (he/she/it was being had/owned)
1st Plural: habēbāmur (we were being had/owned)
2nd Plural: habēbāminī (you all were being had/owned)
3rd Plural: habēbantur (they were being had/owned)
Future Tense
1st Singular: habēbor (I will be had/owned)
2nd Singular: habēberis or habēbere (you will be had/owned)
3rd Singular: habēbitur (he/she/it will be had/owned)
1st Plural: habēbimur (we will be had/owned)
2nd Plural: habēbiminī (you all will be had/owned)
3rd Plural: habēbuntur (they will be had/owned)
Given the nature of "habēre" (to have), it is not typically used in the passive voice because it expresses possession rather than an action being done to something or someone. Nevertheless, for verbs that do follow a regular conjugation pattern in the passive voice, you would typically see forms in the present, imperfect, and future tenses.
Let’s look at another example such as “to love”. This time, in passive voice conjugations in the perfect system, which includes the perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect tenses. In these tenses, the passive voice is formed using the perfect passive participle of the verb combined with the appropriate tense of the auxiliary verb "esse" (to be).
Perfect System in Passive Voice for "Amāre"
Perfect Tense (I have been loved)
1st Singular: amātus sum (I have been loved)
2nd Singular: amātus es (you have been loved)
3rd Singular: amātus est (he/she/it has been loved)
1st Plural: amātī sumus (we have been loved)
2nd Plural: amātī estis (you all have been loved)
3rd Plural: amātī sunt (they have been loved)
Pluperfect Tense (I had been loved)
1st Singular: amātus eram (I had been loved)
2nd Singular: amātus erās (you had been loved)
3rd Singular: amātus erat (he/she/it had been loved)
1st Plural: amātī erāmus (we had been loved)
2nd Plural: amātī erātis (you all had been loved)
3rd Plural: amātī erant (they had been loved)
Future Perfect Tense (I will have been loved)
1st Singular: amātus erō (I will have been loved)
2nd Singular: amātus eris (you will have been loved)
3rd Singular: amātus erit (he/she/it will have been loved)
1st Plural: amātī erimus (we will have been loved)
2nd Plural: amātī eritis (you all will have been loved)
3rd Plural: amātī erunt (they will have been loved)
The perfect passive participle "amātus" (loved) is used along with the corresponding forms of "esse" to indicate the action of the verb in the passive voice across different times in the past and future. Note that the participle agrees in gender and number with the subject it refers to, hence "amātus" for masculine singular, "amāta" for feminine singular, and so on, adjusting for plural forms as well.

There are an irritating number of films about bland white people doing bland white people things. Can anyone recommend any slice-of-life type movies with persons of color that aren't about celebrities or crime or some stereotypical grand adventure? Just non-white people existing? 🤔🤔🤔

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"
just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible
#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order#at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers#90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent#like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries#but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate#and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something#cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare#and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity#and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media#and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons#and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators#instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period#anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives#so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world#(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin#oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value#and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the#important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

there's something about the way people talk about john gaius (incl the way the author writes him) that is like. so absent of any connection to te ao māori that it's really discomforting. like even in posts that acknowledge him as not being white, they still talk about him like a white, american leftist guy in a way that makes it clear people just AREN'T perceiving him as a māori man from aotearoa.
and it's just really serves to hammer home how powerful and pervasive whiteness and american hegemony is. because TLT is probably the single most Kiwi series in years to explode on the global stage, and all the things i find fraught about it as a pākehā woman reading a series by a pākehā author are illegible to a greater fandom of americans discoursing about whether or not memes are a valid way of portraying queer love.
idk the part of my brain that lights up every time i see a capital Z printed somewhere because of the New Zealand Mentioned??? instinct will always be proud of these books and muir. but i find myself caught in this midpoint of excitement and validation over my culture finding a place on the global stage, frustration at how kiwi humour and means of conveying emotion is misinterpreted or declared facile by an international audience, frustrated also by how that international audience runs the characters in this book through a filter of american whiteness before it bothers to interpret them, and ESPECIALLY frustrated by how muir has done a pretty middling job of portraying te ao māori and the māoriness of her characters, but tht conversation doesn't circulate in the same way* because a big part of the audience doesn't even realise the conversation is there to be had.
which is not to say that muir has done a huge glaring racism that non-kiwis haven't noticed or anything, but rather that there are very definitely things that she has done well, things that she has done poorly, things that she didn't think about in the first book that she has tacked on or expanded upon in the later books, that are all worthy of discussion and critique that can't happen when the popular posts that float past my dash are about how this indigenous man is 'guy who won't shut up about having gone to oxford'
*to be clear here, i'm not saying these conversations have never happened, just that in terms of like, ambient posts that float round my very dykey dash, the discussions and meta that circulate on this the lesbian social media, are overwhelmingly stripped of any connection to aotearoa in general, let alone te ao māori in specific. and because of the nature of american internet hegemony this just,,,isn't noticed, because how does a fish know it's in the ocean u know? i have seen discussions along these lines come up, and it's there if i specifically go looking for it, but it's not present in the bulk of tlt content that has its own circulatory life and i jut find that grim and a part of why the fandom is difficult to engage with.
#tlt#the locked tomb#i don't really have an answer lmao this is more#an expression of frustration and discomfort#over the way posts about john gaius seem to have very little connection to the background muir actually gave him#like you cant describe him as an educated leftist bisexual man#without INCLUDING that he is māori#that has an impact! that has weight and importance!#that is a background to every decision he makes#from the meat wall to the nuke to his relationship with the earth#and it also has weight and importance in the decisions that muir makes in writing him#it is not a neutral decision that he's known as john gaius lmao#it's not a neutral decision that the empire is explicitly of roman/latin extraction#it's not even neutral that this is a book about necromancy#it's certainly not a neutral fucking decision that john was at one point a māori man living in the bush#when the nz govt decided to send cops in#like that is a thing that happens here! that is a reference to nz cultural and political events that informs john's character and actions#and with the nature of who john is in the story#informs the narrative as a whole#and i think the tiresome part of this experience is that#in general#americans are not well positioned to understand that something might be being written from outside their experience as a default#like obviously many many americans in online leftist & queer spaces are willing to learn and take on new information#but so much of the conversation starts from a place of having to explain that forests exist to fish

Watched all available episodes of Sousou no Frieren yesterday and loved it, but as a German I am. baffled? perplexed? amused? at the choice to use German words for characters and places. Like not German names, but words that no sane German wold ever call someone or someplace. Like the protagonist being called "to shiver". Not a name that means "to shiver" but literally just the German verb frieren = to shiver.
Here's some of my favourite examples that male me laugh:
Graf Granat trusting a dude who literally calls himself Count Liar. also when he angrily shouts his name "Lügner!!!" all I could think was "Yeah, he sure is"
there's a place that literally is called door. It's called DOOR. Imagine calling your town or city. door. Who does that. I'm still not over that. I had to pause the episode to not choke on my drink
A town called "outermost".
one of the places is straight up called blanket
"Schwer mountains"??? heavy mountains??? I guess they are
... size forest
the guy who's called fork

pros of being a silmarillion fan: everything is about your favourite characters!
cons of being a silmarillion fan: everything is about your favourite characters so you genuinely can't tell whether the creator has read the silmarillion and purposefully made a reference or it's just the consequences of both tolkien's impact on mass culture (fantasy in particular) and tolkien's work itself referencing real world mythology

Mula
In antiquo Chinae regno, bellum gravem oriri coeperat. Omnes viri ad militiam conscribi debebant, sed pater Mulan, Fa Zhou, iam senex erat et infirmus. Mulan, filia eius, timens pro patre suo, consilium cepit.
Mulieris culturam relinquit, et ut virum se vestit, in exercitum secreto intrat, nomen Ping ferens. Nullus de vera eius natura suspicabatur.
In castris, Mulan duras exercitationes perpessus est et strenue pugnavit. Paulatim, a solido gerens, amicitiam cum Li Shang, tribuno militum, fecit. Is quoque non intellexit, Mulan feminam esse.
Interim, Huns, populus hostis, imperio invadere inceptum est. Exercitus imperatoris prompte ad resistendum paratus est. Mulan, cogitans ingeniose, consilium capit, ut ab hostibus deprehensum exercitum salvum duceret.
In pugna finali, Mulan demonstravit virtutem et astutiam suam, et Huns vincitur. Tamen, in proelio, vera eius natura patefacta est. Li Shang, primum commotus, de virtute et fide Mulan miratus est.
Post victoriam, Mulan honore et gratia in exercitu donata est, sed a patria sua silenter recedidit. Revera, non erat honoribus publicis, sed amore et reverentia erga patrem et familiam ducitur.
Fa Zhou, recognoscens filiam suam, superba et laeta est. Mulan, quamvis non sequentur honorum splendor, vera heroina et filia patriae nunc appellatur.
Finis

“i've had the delight to meet the captain's secretary on numerous occasions.. at first glance, you would think that she is someone distant and cold, but when you get to know femi or talk to her for the first time, you immediately realise you really shouldn't judge a book by its cover. despite her lack of enthusiasm, she is quite empathetic and polite. the more you delve into her world, the more layers of warmth and kindness you uncover, reaffirming the old saying that appearances can indeed be very much deceiving.” — childe
