its bad right now. here's a quick caedo

Welcome to a quick but important language lesson before our lovely Korean speaking members join the QSMP!

I call it:

“No, that Korean speaker is not casually saying the N-word.”

The Korean word for “I/me” is 내가, romanized as “nae-ga”

The Korean word for “you” is 니가, romanized as “ni-ga”

They are not saying a racial slur. It is literally the word for me/you. please understand the context, and get familiar with hearing these words all the time in normal conversation.

Read this article, this is what they have had to deal with in the west before.

Above all, extend grace and understanding to the new members and new communities. Research things yourself, and educate your friends about their language and culture to avoid misunderstandings. Realize that for many of these new people, this may be their first time interacting with another culture- let alone so many at once. They will be learning themselves, and may make mistakes. Be patient and for the love of god don’t scare them off. spread love <3

I think one underrated tragedy of Ice King's scars is that he probably took away Simon's sense of levity.

Like in his very limited appearances before Simon is consumed by the crown we see he's kind of a silly dude. In his introduction video, he only put on the crown in order to playfully tease his fiancee. Plus watching him make light of the loneliness and general misery for a young girl in a broken world. He was a dedicated man, who was generous and loved with his whole heart and threw himself one hundred percent into everything he did. He was also a fun lil guy.

But after almost a millennia of being a mad man, the brunt of every joke, someone who only existed as a broken caricature of himself and couldn't be counted on to take anything seriously, I imagine he was done with it. Now he wants to focus back on his academic endeavors, on his role as a father figure in Marcy's life, on being a proper adult. Any attempts to be silly could easily remind everyone - including himself- of Ice King, something he's eager to avoid.

So his jokes and jibes and general lightheartedness turned to sarcasm and self deprecating comments.

once i was in a creative writing class in college, and in a bit of humor i wrote the line:

"Um," I said, eloquently.

And my teacher was so adamant that I had to remove it because "um is not an eloquent word, so it makes no sense" and i was like my brother in christ it's called Irony

Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love cover art for a bind exchange with boundbyepplaud on Instagram

This fic is everything to me - I would design a million covers for it if I could. This time around though I wanted to do more of a general vibe piece for the fic rather than any specific scene so this is Draco wandering the rose gardens of Malfoy Manor and failing to quash 😂🥰🥀

This is also a small homage to the Pride and Prejudice statue scene iykyk

Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love by @isthisselfcare is on AO3!

one thing i love about my tabris worldstate is how absolutely fucked the ferelden-orlais, human-elven & mac tir-theirin politics are:

to start off you’ve got the steadily boiling racial tension because the denerim alienage has just been given a bann

…whose proposals are consistently backed by the new king, kicking off the potential for elves to hold real political power

an orlesian has been placed in charge of the wardens of amaranthine

and consequently has become an arl with significant standing in the landsmeet (lest we forget, one who also controls both the pilgrim’s path AND a major trading port)

loghain mac tir (the queen’s father!!!) has very specifically been PASSED OVER for promotion in the warden ranks…

to make the hero of ferelden’s (also elven!!) sister the warden-commander of orlais following the death of warden clarel

due to the prompting of the inquisition and marquise briala, the empress of orlais has made a sustained effort to publicly show her support for warden-commander tabris

which both queen anora and grand duke gaspard de chalons’ supporters have something to say about :)

It’s official. Palestine Action is now considered a terrorist group and anyone who supports them could be arrested and imprisoned for a maximum of 14 years.

But it’s still totally okay to protest, guys. Just make sure not to spray paint anything, make too much noise or even mention the word ‘genocide’.

Take a good look everyone. This is what freedom looks like.

it's kinda funny I keep seeing OMORI fans talk about how the fandom is dying/dead since "there's nothing to talk about anymore." yeah, this fandom is dead but this is just a blatantly untrue reason to give lmao

"there's nothing to talk about." no, there's still quite a lot to talk about. you just refuse to approach the story from any other perspective that isn't "Sunny did nothing wrong."
