idk how many of you have taken a linguistics class but this is literally what it is. teacher goes “make this sound” and for the next hour it’s just a bunch of people having existential crises about their own mouth sounds.
simply put, linguistics 101 is making the most unattractive noises humanly possible for extended period of times and then being amazed and surprised by it.

okay ALSO continuing my Les Mis posting from yesterday here is my dumbest illegal streaming anecdote
so picture this. it’s november 2013 after a marching band awards dinner. you have just received an award drawn on a paper plate and listened to some 20-year-olds sing a song about running the band. you have to get up early for a football game tomorrow. you and your good buddy have decided that you are going to stay up inadvisably late watching Les Mis.
you don’t know how to torrent things, but it’s 2013. megaupload still exists. you’ll surely find something. most of the links are broken and it’s taking a stupid long time but eventually you do! you guys settle in to watch the movie. it being Les Mis, the first eighteen minutes of the movie are sung through.
at minute 19 you reach the first non-sung dialogue. it is dubbed into German.
okay! I mean, that’s not ideal! you can probably find another stream. you look around for a while (it is now after midnight) and you do! you find one! or more accurately you find 23! because that’s how many separate chunks the movie has been uploaded in.
you find the right chunk (it’s in part 2), watch the dialogue, and then part 2 ends. you watch part 3. it’s seven minutes long. this is gonna get annoying. well, how much dialogue can possibly be in this movie? the show is sung through. you switch back to the German stream.
about ten minutes later is more dialogue.
you spend the next two hours tabbing back and forth between the German-language stream and the twenty-three part English jigsaw puzzle of a movie.
six hours later you get up to go run around a football field while someone reads limericks through a loudspeaker.

something i love about ur tumblr acc is how u post the exact opposite of what everyone else i follow is saying. not an ounce of kenstewy it's romestew all the way. youngest child roman truther. it's honestly so refreshing bc it does tend to feel like tumblr is an echo chamber where everyone either agrees or blocks so. yeah. keep doing what you're doing it's keeping my brain alive <3
ahaha thank you!!!! I learned very early on in my succession fandom days that it’s much better to just sort of do my own thing and post abt the aspects of the show that I want to <3 I was blocked by an astronomical number of succ fans when I first started posting about the show and tbh it ended up being a blessing bc that means I can continue to post my own theories and opinions without people being super annoying about it

my favorite strategy in any combat game ever is to drop a bunch of stationary recurring AoEs on top of each other and stand in the middle luring enemies into the thunder dome

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.
