[I'd hope that the lack of authorization to date is for good reasons, e.g. ensuring validity of this data/confirmation/testing, safety, etc.]

My love, James

Lil Bro

Dear Reggie

Potter-Blacks?

Black-Potters?

To my two brothers?

James and Regulus,

I know.

I knew even before you two did. So please stop the terrible act you attempt to pass as 'desinterest'.

Regulus, drama is my strong suit, not yours. Stay in your lane.

And James, just... stop. I don't even know what to call the foolishness I have witnessed whenever you are around my brother.

It was Remus' idea to do this through a letter. I was half-way through planning my rock-opera extravaganza, explaining in depth everything from my point of view but it seems the world is not ready for that level of cunt yet. So a piece of paper it is.

I love you Regulus. Don't run and don't panic with whatever you are feeling. Love is a good thing, it always is.

I love you James. You're not too much, be yourself, you won't scare him away.

Now kiss!

okay bye,

Sirius Black

send me a 💌 with a character and situation and i'll write a letter or a cute note from that pov

New Insights into Acute and Long Covid - by Eric Topol

KP.3’s rise is linked to trouble in multiple countries in Europe and Australasia. It’s a good thing that at the last minute the FDA decided to go ahead with the KP.2 vaccine booster for September instead of JN.1 that was the plan from the advisory committee. The neutralizing antibody levels induced by the KP.2 booster were more than 3-fold increased compared to that induced by a JN.1 booster. The plan is that Moderna and Pfizer will have a KP.2 booster ready, and Novavax will go with JN.1

So apparently it's now been officially confirmed that the "Mangkwan" clan briefly mentioned at the end of The Next Shadow comics IS indeed the "ash clan" that will be featured in Fire and Ash (a lot of people speculated this before but it wasn't confirmed until now).

...which is all fine and dandy, except that kw is still not a valid consonant cluster, Karyu Pawl plz explain, the language nerds are crying 😭 Was this perhaps a typo of Mangkuan or Mangkawn? Or a new dialect that allows for more clusters? Or something else?

Right now my theory is that it's gonna be Mangkuan and the Mangkuan vs Mangkwan spelling difference will essentially be the same as Omatikaya vs Omaticaya (the first one being the technically "correct" one per Na'vi phonetics but the second still showing up in some canon material).

Part of the problem here, I think, comes down to what I'm gonna call the Cameron Paradox. James Cameron didn't create the Na'vi language; he created a small list of words, as well as all the character names (from the movies at least, idk about the comics and games), then hired linguist Paul Frommer (Karyu Pawl) to do the rest. Cameron's grammatical/phonetic/etc understanding of the language Frommer built, from what I can tell, seems to be pretty limited; those details are Frommer's realm. So it's very possible that Cameron chose the name Mangkwan because it sounded cool and simply had no idea that it's technically invalid within the sound system Frommer set up.

However...while Cameron himself isn't the one who created the Na'vi language, he does technically own it. It's a commissioned work and therefore Cameron, as the commissioner, has the power to override Frommer if he wishes. If Cameron has his heart set on "Mangkwan", Frommer doesn't really have a choice but to work around that. He might end up doing that by hand-waving it as a special spelling variation of "Mangkuan" (again like the explanation of c vs k in Omatikaya), or he might end up doing it by incorporating some sort of special new dialect rules for the Ash People. Or maybe some other solution that I haven't thought of. We just don't know yet.

...and Karyu Pawl might not actually be legally allowed to address it until after the movie's release date, so we might be waiting for a quite a while to find out ;w;

Prompt # 3 -Favorite Episode -Episode 6

I remember watching the end of episode 5 and just being absolutely feral to see this episode and then iQiyi wouldn’t play during the day for some reason. I had to wait until work that night.

I don’t even know what I was expecting, The Defiant Ones or something, but instead, I got gorgeous scenery, a goofy buddy episode, the sweetest rom-com, actual communication, gentle apologies, and Gift of the Magi levels of attempted mutual sacrifices.

By the end of this, including the special episode, I was completely head over heels for Kinn and Porsche as a couple, so yeah, favorite episode.
