#and you spelled it wrong twice!

[mossistyping]

So I have a VISA interview coming up, big deal etc. I need to have my birth certificate and police record translated into English for the interview.

The US Embassy doesn't require the translation to be done by a certified translator, just someone who can confirm they're fluent. EXCEPT. You can't do it yourself.

So tell me why I'm out here CORRECTING the translation service that I paid for because they spelled the same street name wrong TWICE?

I was going to put more effort in these, but I was tired from work. Anyway I just think it’s fun how Bill and Sans always end up in a match together in these tournaments. And how Bill probably REALLY enjoyed how chaotic everything got last time, so he’s fully willing to let Sans take the helm again and watch things unfold from the loser’s circle.

today I'm thinking about livejournal and how I used to participate in a blog where people would make their own soundtracks to things, make cover art, and upload the songs for other people to download. what a good time that was. I miss it.

Now I guess it's spotify playlists but I'm not gonna lie, those are boringgggg. I want to spend hours in GIMP painstakingly making front & back CD covers (ok i actually have photoshop now but still, the point remains)

"Oh dear! I'm terribly sorry for jumping, though you frightened me!"

"It is quite alright, small fairy. I mean you no harm, I can assure it. You may call me Fry."

"I see, well my name is Elwynn. I am terribly sorry to bring our conversation askew so early, but as a costumer myself, I have to ask about yours! You look simply incredible, I must say!"

"Ah, Elwynn, my friend, you have mistaken me. I bare no costume, you see. My gills and my frills are simply how I was born."

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry for assuming! I don't see other species often, coming out to the water like this is quite the rare occurrence for one as reclusive as me."

"Wynn, do not let it guilt you. I rather approaches such as your own than those of fear I tend to garner. Do come closer, will you? My vision is faulty out of water."

"Poor thing, why is it you require to see me better? Do I have something on my mask?"

"Do not fret, you do not, I simply wish to admire your charm through less of a hazy blur."

What do you think about Sophie becoming the principal of Foxfire? I've been obsessed with the thought for a while now.

I haven't thought about it before, but I'm intrigued by the prospect!

My main question is what brings her into this position, how does she become principal. Currently in the series, she doesn't seem too fond of the place and is more than willing to skip for her other responsibilities. It's also a very elven cornerstone of their world, teaching elven values and history to elven students, and she's never felt fully one with the elven world.

I could see her wanting to rewrite the courses and what's taught in the elven world (e.g., adding Vespera's human experimentation into the history lessons) to be more accurate and stop painting the elves in the perfect light they like to cast themselves in. And in that case, I have no doubt she'd think she was up to the task and needed to be involved in some way (like as principal) to ensure it was done correctly.

I feel as though it would definitely take a toll on her after a while, as there would be aspects of the job she'd loathe. Like disciplining students. She may create different positions to pass that responsibility off to others so she doesn't have to deal with it.

But I do think if she became principal, she would work her hardest to create a safe, positive, equal space for everyone. No discrimination against different abilities or the talentless will be tolerated--that might be a part of discipline she wouldn't mind getting involved in. She'd fight to let talentless students enter the elite levels and become part of the nobility. She'd want more than just elven teaching, but instead for people to know about the other species, including humans.

It would be a more rounded course and accepting institution if Sophie was principal, but I don't think it's all she would do. She might drift away from it a bit to work on other projects, or she'd become principal as like a sort of retirement/break from working on said other projects in prior centuries of her life.

Just a few thoughts I had about how I'd imagine it happening and playing it out, but I'm by no means arbitrator on the idea. There are many ways you could take it, al of them fascinating, so thank you for the inspiration!

there needs to be a big red sensor in my brain that says “‼️🚨 you are getting stuck in your own head!!!! ‼️🚨” so i notice more.

“You wanna fight?”

“No, what the fuck?”

Sukuna looks at you with a sort of disturbed look in his eyes. You're sat at the other end of the sofa, phone in hand, and you look back expectantly, as though what you just said is perfectly normal.

"What's wrong with you?" he asks. You tilt your head to the side.

"You just look like someone who wants to fight," you reply.

Sukuna's eye twitches. It's not unusual for you to say shit like this. He should be used to it by now, in all honesty. It's like you want to vex him, like it thrills you to get a rise out of him.

You go back to scroll on your phone. Sukuna watches you for a bit longer, knowing that you're not done with your teasing yet. Without looking up from your phone, you do exactly as he predicted you to.

"Who do you think would win a fight?" you ask. Sukuna raises his brow in disbelief. Sometimes he wonders where you get the confidence to act like this around him. It's truly incredible to him.

"I would, obviously," he replies. You look up from your phone again. A small smile grows on your lips.

"Nah, I'd win," you reply.

In a flash, Sukuna is on you, pinning you to the sofa. You laugh loudly as your hands are pinned above your head and Sukuna straddles you.

"Still think you'd win, brat?" he asks, hovering right above you. His breath fans your lips, and you smile. "Mmmmh, absolutely," you reply, before you close the gap between you, kissing him softly.

Sukuna immediately falls under your spell and kisses you back. You hum into his mouth as he licks your bottom lip, and you allow him entrance. You gasp as Sukuna sits up, cupping your face so he doesn't have to stop kissing you before you're placed in his lap. You comply and straddle him, moaning into his mouth as you grind down on his clothed bulge.

Sukuna sucks on your tongue, his hands digging into your hips as he guides you in small circles. Eyes closed, he allows himself to get lost in the paradise that you provide. A small oasis where he doesn't have to think about anything other than you, you, you.

Slap.

Sukuna opens his eyes. You pull away and grin victoriously at him, your hand still on his cheek where you just gave him the lightest smack known to mankind. Sukuna gapes at you, barely comprehending what just happened.

"See? I won," you say, holding back laughter as Sukuna blinks. Once. Twice.

"You have five seconds to fucking run."

You giggle manically as you get off his lap and run towards the stairs. Sukuna watches you, deciding to give you a few more seconds of careless happiness before he comes after you.

Because once he catches you, he's going to absolutely ruin you.

--Written Chinese vs English--

[ID: A comic titled "Evolution of Written Chinese vs English". On the left, emperor Qin Shi Huang holds up a scroll and angrily points an ink brush at the viewer and shouts, "There should not be seven different ways to write 'horse'. Starting today everyone will use the same characters-- or else!" On the right, William Shakespeare laughs gleefully while holding a skull and quill and exclaims, "The first rule of English is to have fun and to thine own self be true!" Every word uses a non-standard spelling. Below the cut are full versions of the the panels and a blank version of the Chinese one. End ID]

I'm fascinated by the evolution of chinese and english "spelling." I grew up on hard-to-read Ye Olde English, and assumed all languages were like that. Imagine my shock when I discovered the chinese language had been standardised since 221BC, and I can read words written in the Han Dynasty.

full versions:

notes under the cut

For much of it's history, the English language played it fast and loose with spelling. (No one can spell things wrong if no one can spell things right!) Standardisation only began in the late 15th century as the use of the printing press spread across Europe.

I thought the best person to show this carefree attitude was the Bard himself; Willy Shakes. We have six surviving examples of Shakespeare's signature, and none of them are spelled the same way twice.

In comparison, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, standardised the writing system as early as 221 BC. He had conquered the six warring states and decided to do away with their writing systems. This made the administration of a centralised government easier, and it served as a demonstration of his absolute authority. The writing on the book* is "horse", and "torn apart by carriage".

**That scroll he's holding is actually called a book in Chinese, it is made up of bamboo slips, like a big sushi mat!

All designs are available on redbubble: I thought it would be fun to include a blank version of qin shi huang, so you can write stuff on him.
