I feel like I’m in a headspace where I really am in the mood to read urban fantasy more than anything else, part of me wants to start the Lynburn Legacy reread I’ve been wanting to start for a while and apparently unspoken is quite cheap on iBooks so that’s doable but I’m already doing my in depth trc reread buddy read with notes + rereading other things more casually. If I do the TLL reread I’ll definitely liveblog it because I want to propagandize it to my followers who are here for other modern or urban fantasy I talk about lol. Maybe I should read a Sarah Rees Brennan book I haven’t read yet? I also have been wanting to start reading the Vampire Chronicles but I think I should leave that for when I have more concentration to give over to it / my brain is processing new content better. The TVD books are another possibility, if nothing else I think that could be really funny. There are other possible candidates but if someone wants to recommend me a thing now is your chance

You got clanmew words ready for different times of day, I imagine there would be words for the patrol times. (I also just wanna make my sona's name in clanmew.)

Here is the brand new Clan Clock, there are now 11 words for various times of day!! All of these are valid prefixes and suffixes.

Day (24 hour period of time, NOT only sunlight hours) = Siku

Noon (ALL daylight hours, Dawn to Dusk) = Hapif

Night (Vesper to Twilight) = Oogar

Morning (Dawn and Twilight combined) = Qui

Evening (Dusk and Vesper combined) = Piarr

Dawn = Hefor

Dusk = Boone

Twilight = Hiobi

Vesper = Mebwyn

Sunhigh (Midway point of Hapif hours) = Yosawl

Midnight (Midway point of Oogar hours) = Yoshom

[BB!Clawface's old name was Daylight, before he earned an honor title. That name was actually "Noonbeam" in the Clanmew, "Hapifane".]

For the patrols, the word is taken and -Pabparra is tacked on. So Dawn Patrol is "Heforpabparra", but Clan cats have a habit of contracting long words, so its nickname is likely Hefpabpa once a warrior is trained enough to know what to expect.

hoping and praying for someone to make a more complete hallelujah translation in Spanish or ladino at the level of the Daniel Kahn translation in Yiddish. I love the musical acompaniement on the Yasmin Levy version but it’s only for about three of cohen’s stanza’s AND “bien sè que existe un Dios” just isn’t a good translation for “maybe there’s a god above”

Fandom Lexicon: Numbers and Characters

So far, we don’t have many entries that start with not-a-letter, and they all open with brackets, but nonetheless, here we are: the final installment of our main Fandom Lexicon!

View the Fandom Lexicon!

Notice an omission? Think we made a mistake? Let us know!

Lexicon Entries Beginning with Non-Letters: (read more)

[Character A] & [Character B]: When referring to a fanwork, using an ampersand between the names of the characters means the characters are being portrayed as in a platonic relationship, usually as friends, found family, or family. May include more than two characters.

[Character A] x [Character B]: see [Character A]/[Character B]

[Character A]/[Character B]: When referring to a fanwork, using a slash between the names of the characters means the characters are being “shipped,” or portrayed as being in a non-platonic relationship with each other, usually a romantic or sexual relationship. May include more than two characters. Note that characters in a QPR may be an exception, and sometimes characters in QPRs (which are neither romantic nor sexual) may still be listed with a slash between their names.

[Character’s] A+ Parenting: The character in question is a terrible parent and is shown being a terrible parent. Usually used as a tag, especially on AO3.

[Character] x Reader: When referring to a fanwork, the character is portrayed as being in a romantic relationship with the person reading the fanfiction. These stories are usually written in the second person, will often specify the gender and sometimes the sexuality or romanticism of the reader, and will use a place holder (often y/n – “your name”) to refer to the reader. May include more than one character. Sometimes referred to as a genre as “x Reader” works.

[Gender]/[Gender]: Indicates the genders of characters in a relationship in a fanwork. May include more than two characters. The genders are usually given as abbreviations. The most common are: m = male; f = female; nb = non-binary.

[Sexuality/Romanticism/Gender] Spec: Shortened form of “[sexuality/romanticism/gender] spectrum.” A term used to say that a person or character is on the spectrum for the sexuality/romanticism/gender specified. For example, if someone is “arospec,” it means they feel that they are aromantic to some degree, as they are on the spectrum of identities that fall under the umbrella of aromanticism.

[Tag] for TS: Abbreviation for “[tag] for tumblr saviour.” A tagging protocol related to a browser extension, Tumblr Saviour, that made Tumblr more usable for some people. Most people no longer use browser extensions to filter in this way because Tumblr introduced an internal tag-filtering system.

[Thing]-coded: A person or thing that shares certain core element(s) with the “thing” in the brackets, but is not actually that thing. For example, if a media is queer-coded, it has implied or subtextual queer content but nothing explicit/textual.

[Thing]blr: Refers to the blogs/community on Tumblr that focuses on [Thing]. Typically used to differentiate what’s happening inside that sphere of interest (the thing, on Tumblr) from everything outside it (anything else, any location other than Tumblr). These tags also enable people interested in these communities to find more, while those not interested in them can ignore or blacklist. For example: writeblr (used by writers), momblr (used by moms), lawblr (used by lawyers), etc.

[Thing]core: Used when the target’s aesthetic is focused on [Thing]. Example: “That house is Deancore” = that house looks like Dean lives in it. Also commonly used for genres, such as “cottagecore” as a term that means something is cozy and fits with a cottage aesthetic.

[Thing]punk: A fiction genre featuring counterculture protagonists in an (often, but not always) anachronistic world dominated by a specific type of technology that operates based on [thing]. For example, cyberpunk, steampunk, aetherpunk, etc.

[Thing]sona: Originally coined as the term “fursona” in furry communities, the term has gotten genericized to apply to alternate versions of a persons persona/how they project themselves. Fursona, or a version of a person where they are combined with an animal(s) of their choice, is still the most common usage, but other terms such as worksona (the person we project as ourselves while at our job) and similar usages have come into use.

going through the tag for a gal that i think may be a new blorbo for me and a noticeable majority of the posts are filtered content. blocking ships that annoy me asap is the best way to keep my cortisol levels within normal range, but the cost is so host (<- first time writing that out and i realize that ive been mentally spelling it like an existing word that does not rhyme with cost, but whatd you have me do? "the cost is hawst"??? self-defeating)

fathers day is this month how am i going to inflict psychic damage on myself

[sunset-mp4]

i am very aware of the countless times i've brought up my strange diction, but I will continue to find it peculiar how I go from;

"OH THAT IS WONDERFUL! I AM SO DELIGHTED THAT YOU WOULD SHARE THIS WITH ME! GLORIOUS!"

to

"i can't y'all.. I'm fuckin done. m not having a hot girl summer right now. its just not radical man."

but the second only arrives when I am mentally, physically, or emotionally tired or agitated. so.

[faaun]

anyway my fields of study are sooooooo . gorgeous . literally so beautiful absolutely losing my mind each day

[fideidefenswhore]

Jane stans are literally the most unpleasant people I've had the misfortune to trip over on Tumblr. The sanctimony and double standards defy belief. Seriously, can they keep to a coherent thought process?

It's the strawman arguments for me.
