I've saw the creators of The Amazing Digital Circus compare it to I spy (never heard of) and I have no mouth and must scream (heard of). I feel future episodes will make these parallels more prominent while giving its own twist, but the vibe it passed me was from dark fairy stories (in particular, the adaption of Changeling The Lost).

Caine is the creator of that world and he's likely to be an AI, there's something so alien in how he's so whimsical and excited for everything, while being completely unable to understand and empathize with the poor mortals that he brought to his realm. Although in dark fairy stories the intentions of the fairies are translated into something dark and eldritch, the kids show aesthetic does differentiate the digital circus from other settings.

Caine doesn't seem to be malicious, so far, and thus he's also unable to think about his actions in a way that would dissuade him from doing what he's doing. A digital fairy. He mutated the poor mortals he brought to him realm and then discards them when they can't take it anymore and let themselves to be abstracted.

I really wonder how it'll go from there. Usually dark fairy stories don't tend to have happy endings, things worse than death might await the mortals and, even when they escape, they have to deal with the scars. So far, for the pilot, it seems it'll be something like that.

Now that I have the oc version firmly in hand, I made a v2 version of the shaker charm with canon characters and a more accurate version of the Tang! I'll make an official preorder post once I have things a bit more hammered out, but think of this as an interest check!

[Summarised image description: Eight-part edit of panels from chapter 51 of Nabari no Ou, with lyrics to Strange Room by Keane edited onto them. The panels prominently feature Miharu, though Yukimi and Kazuho are also shown. Each image has one line of the lyrics, and in full, the lyrics read, "i woke up in a strange room. time to start again now. no one to help you find your way through. you're just meant to guess it somehow. well, for a moment i was dreaming. we were just beginning. thought, "finally, i've come home." "finally i've come home." End description]

if i can add, the sheer number of fics of charles as the bottom or an omega would send that poor straight man to the hospital

I care less about that ngl because I think famous men getting twinkified and impregnated on ao3 is good for the environment and keeps them humble. It's feminism.

I was tagged by @everybodyknows-everybodydies to share a wip snippet!!!

Truthfully idk who to tag so if anyone wants to/needs an excuse to share a wip snippet go for it!!!!!

Anyways gonna do some shameless advertising cause I haven’t promoted this fic on here yet. It’s a snippet from the next chapter of my How Hearts Mend series. It’s a post canon M*A*S*H series (with a few prologue chapters) Set two years after The Korean War ends, Margaret Houlihan finally gets back in touch with those she served with in the 4077, namely Hawkeye Pierce. Will they get a second chance to be together or remain close friends?

Several chapters are already up on my AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/series/3744520

Oooh can you PLEASE talk about French complaints about anglicisms? I also love linguistics

Oh BOI, CAN I?????

There's this weird tendency (aka policy) in France against anglicisms and adopting words from the English language because the ruling class has this grand idea about French exceptionalism, how it must remain pristine and unchanged just like it Used to Be.

And ok, that seems reasonable on the surface, fighting American soft power and soft imperialism and all that.

Except they go about it in the STUPIDEST WAY.

You know what didn't exist as it is now, say 600 years ago? THE FRENCH LANGUAGE! The pronunciation was different, the grammar was different, the spelling was different. And you know what won't exist in 600 years? THE FRENCH LANGUAGE as it is now! (and humanity, probably, but that's another topic for another day) Cause that's how languages WORK.

Politicians and conservatives are all up in arms because of a few English words, failing to remember English takes a sizable chunk of it's vocab from French itself since the Norman conquest. They sometimes fustigate people for using an English word.... OF FRENCH ORIGIN!!!!!

Also word borrowing is one of the natural processes languages undergo. Alcohol? Arabic! Denim? French! Trying to stop it is like building a dam with Swiss cheese.

There is also this whole institution in France called the Académie Française, whose job is to define what's proper correct French and what isn't, and most of the members (for life) AREN'T EVEN FUCKING LINGUISTS?????? They're supposed to be the highest authority regarding the French language and it's just a fancy club of old people with fancy black and green jackets????

Anyway, some guys are also in charge to proposing (imposing) French words to replace anglicisms. The lastest ones are :

a streamer -> un joueur en direct

a deepfake -> une infox vidéo

a podcast -> une baladodiffusion

And those are the OFFICIAL words lawmakers have to use in official documents, whereas NO ONE on the French population would ever use them. Like.... EVER, because the use of those anglicisms is already rooted in everyday life, since they weren't any French equivalent when they were invented.

Anyway, I hate it, leave languages evolve naturally thank you for coming to my TED talk

NB : this rant does not apply to corporate anglicism, corporate anglicism can go die in a ditch, they are the opposite side of the elitism spectrum, stop calling it a "one-to-one" (wan-tou-wan) it's just a fucking review conversation with one of your colleagues OH MY GOD
