The Black Subaltern: An Intimate Witnessing (Routledge Studies on African and Black Diaspora)

In The Black Subaltern, Shauna Knox revolts against the construct of the decontextualized self, electing instead to foreground the complex and problematic lived experience of the Black subaltern. Knox offers an account in which Black humanity is flattened, desubstantialized, and lost in a state of perpetual in-betweenness, which she coins subjective transmigration.Over the course of this book,…

Looking at r/Deltarune to see what theories ppl have come up with based on That One Valentine and it’s soooooooo funny to me that every single post about it is the same. Actual quotes from the subreddit:

“How do we know this is gaster”

“Why else would it mention the letter being impossible to understand at the start”

“It doesn’t have the signature stilted tone gaster’s always had”

“It doesn’t read like gaster in English at all”

“I feel like the beginning narration, the all caps, and the style of writing clearly point to gaster”

“We have no real reason to think he’d talk this way… ever”

It’s back and forth with these general opinions, especially of ‘oh that’s not how he talks’ and I’m just sitting here like

1. When you are a scientist, you do not necessarily talk the same in academic contexts as you do in casual contexts. For the most part, I speak COMPLETELY differently from my papers I’ve written for school compared to when I’m flirting with my partner.

2.

How would Ma’alefa’ak sign for Ma’alenca’andra, do you think?

This is how you sign "Mars" in ASL! It's a combination of the sign for "planet" and the sign for "red". I imagine the martians would create a unique sign for Ma'aleca'andra in Martian Sign Language.

I try not to make new sign words and avoid drawing characters signing their sign name (I stick to fingerspelling) because it's not my place as a hearing person to add to a language and a culture I'm not a part of. I don't have the authority!

if i see one more person criticising valentino's voice actor for switching accents too much i am going to sob like IT'S CLEARLY ON PURPOSE. have you never heard of code switching. do you realise how common it is for people to switch accents when they talk, especially when they are conveying strong emotions. val switches to his spanish accent when he's angry or when he's trying to seem sweet in order to manipulate people. it's not random or inconsistent. you don't have to like it but to imply that it's only being done because the voice actor can't pick an accent is the dumbest take i have ever seen

i’m sorry it’s cute and all, but kageyama “why tf should japanese people speak english we live in japan” tobio is not speaking italian with his japanese bf unless it’s absolutely necessary. like i can buy hinata getting a kick out of using his portuguese/english with kageyama from time to time (like pet names etc) but kags, even tho he might learn english and italian well enough to communicate on the court and with the press, isn’t going to have any desire to speak foreign languages (something he’s uncomfortable with) w/in the comfort of his own home, and that’s okay. personally i think it’s even sweeter if tobio is relieved to call hinata while they’re abroad so he can just speak japanese without thinking too hard.

i like how literally every interaction between spock and bones goes something like this

spock : humans are irrational

bones : shut up spock you’re a green blooded computer of an alien who weighs the worth of human life against a hypothetical outcome . you don’t know what it is to genuinely care for human life because you will never be tormented with a soul that is torn apart by remorse . also u r annoying

i started school again recently after taking a really long break to figure my shit out.

and my first assignment literally has me emailing the teacher because it feels like she's asking us to divulge trauma on a discussion board post for our peers to consume.

and that feels weird. and i'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt by emailing her to get more explanation about the assignment. but am excruciatingly terrified i'm gonna make an enemy out of her by mistake during my first week.

(also for context I'm taking an Intro to Literature course. No idea how that connects)

managed to accidentally combine welsh, te reo, english, and german in a sentence with only seven words in it while typing something out in my notes before rereading and saying "wait what the fuck am i even talking about" so that's how my day is going

Dark Cream Week Lv 5: Punish/Reward

Punish:

Jax is stone walling Shattered who gets more distressed with every hour that his boyfriend won’t discuss what’s bothering him, what he did wrong? Jax is unrelenting of course because he has no intention of telling Shattered what he did which is insignificant. 

(To stonewall/ cold shoulder is to abruptly cease communicating with/ acknowledging a person regardless of the reason. This can continue for hours/days/weeks and sometimes months. This tactic causes mounting distress for the victim who has no idea what they did wrong or if they can fix it.) 

Reward:

Cross is getting some after mission cuddles with his hubby Dusk. the blindfold is because Dusk who is a fae is in his true form which if viewed before they become soul bound would drive Cross insane. In this form he can heal Cross faster and enjoy being pet. Cross loves hearing him purr happily as Dusk wraps his big fuzzy body around him.
