quatre vingt dix neuf how about quatre vingt deez nu [GUNSHOT]

on a serious note, do you know the particular reason why French (and I think some other European languages) structure their numbers Like That? I'm never one to make fun of languages, just the "shifting to base 20" seems unintuitive

also I'm planning to major in linguistics in college. this isn't relevant but you seem to like when people tell you that

the vigesimal (base 20) numeral system is among the common configurations around the world - not sure why french specifically went that direction, when other romance languages like spanish, italian, portuguese, and romanian use a decimal (base 10) system.

does anybody here have more info?

(you're right, you got me, i love when people are gonna major in lx, i'm a shameless propagandist and easy to please)

[perplexingly]

also, I started playing Inquisition; I have so many questions about the armorsets available in this game--

btw the first one is a heavy armor

I'm watching Dragon Age Absolution, and there is Matt Mercer in the voice cast, and there is also a villain character who looks like an anime fan art of Matt Mercer, so you would think, but no, anime Matt Mercer is not voiced by Matt Mercer, Matt Mercer is voicing Fairbanks instead (with an admirable commitment to a silly French accent), while anime Matt Mercer is voiced by someone else

Playing dai: trespasser before bed was mistake because now I can’t sleep bc I’m so incensed by that quinari fight.

I'm curious...

Fellow Dragon Age fans, did you ever come up with a nickname for Varric to call your Inquisitor / Custom Hawke? Seeing as the man seems to be incapable of calling most of his friends their actual names, I figure that he'd give the Inquisitor one, even if he doesn't in-game!

I'd love to see people reblogging and tagging / replying with their PCs' nicknames... and maybe why or how they got them! My own Inquisitors' nicknames are under the cut! It'd be a very long post, otherwise...

Mallory Trevelyan: Girly, a very literal nickname. Before coming out as a cross-dresser, there wasn't a moment where Mallory (or Mallie) wasn't in a full face of makeup. He was always worrying about getting his hair messed up or complaining about having to wear things like pants or unflattering, manly armor. Even when Varric learned that Mallory was actually a man, the nickname stuck around. It still applied, after all! Mallory doesn't mind the nickname, but he does find it hopelessly unoriginal.

Kiora Trevelyan: Pep, a clear joke of a nickname. Kiora, a somniari, struggles with narcolepsy caused by her strong connection to the Fade. Both Kiora and Varric think that calling the girl who nods off after half an hour of sitting down in a loud tavern very funny.

Aelon Lavellan: Twitch, an unfortunately literal nickname. Aelon hates it, and Varric can't help but be amused the way that Lavellan's nose and ears twitch every time Varric calls him by the nickname. Lavellan is a very anxious, slightly paranoid person, and he certainly fits the nickname.

Ashavise Lavellan: Cuddles, an affectionately ironic nickname. Ashavise is one of the least cuddly people he knows, clearly not very interested touching anyone in the world of the living for the majority of her time in the Inquisition. Even if it's a joke about her, Ashavise does think that the durgen'len's stupid nickname for her is kind of funny. Not that she'd tell him, of course.

Ademamar Cadash: Big Guy, an obviously ironic nickname. Ade is about an inch taller than Varric, but the two of them are obviously the shortest men in the Inquisition. Ade's constant flirting with the Iron Bull only makes Varric think the nickname is all the funnier. Ade likes it, and cites it to Bull when he's trying to convince the quinari to sleep with him.

Harta Cadash: Madame, a literal and relatively respectful nickname. While she and Varric are friends, he tends to be a little careful around a woman still very deeply tied to the Carta. Especially since she admitted, very cheerfully, to having met Varric before the Inquisition, her family having wanted to check up on one of the Merchant guild men involved with the mess in Kirkwall. Harta loves the nickname.

Ozol Adaar: Willow, an affectionately literal nickname. It took him a while to come up with something that wasn't too obvious. He finally settled on Willow, even if a tree joke was a bit basic. The combined factors of Ozol's towering height, strength, and his long silver dreadlocks made Willow a perfect nickname. Ozol thinks it's very nice. Far better than most of things he's called by bas.

Semiha Silva-Adaar: Bouncy, a soft and literal nickname. Semiha's personality is very go-getter and cheerful, and she tends to fidget by bouncing a little on her heels. Her twin puffs of silvery afro hair only add to the perpetual motion. She thinks it's a great nickname, and smiles every time Varric calls her it.

[afusionoffandoms]

Why'd they have to give all the Quinari botox?

[theoutherlings]

Binary, trinary, quaternary, quinary, senary, septenary, octonary, nonary, etc describe gender systems, not qualities.

They refer to which genders are recognised and legitimated by an specific culture.

But the N° arity a gender has depends on the quantity of genders a culture recognises and legitimates.

Proxvir is an ideobinary and midbinary gender from a western binary perspective, but for someone coming from a culture that recognises 5 genders, proxvir may be ideoquinary and midquianary because it's proximal to the quinary (because exists alongside/in opposition to other four genders with the same level of recognition and legitimacy, giving a total of five gender arities) maleness/miaspecness their culture recognises.

But, pretending there can be such thing a trinary or quaternary gender while living under a gender binary, and, what it's worse, at the same time reinforcing that gender binary in any way you can, it's exorsexism.

If you find non-binary too centered on a fem-masc-andro-neu continuum and you want to express that your gender it's outside it, say anonbinary. Not atrinary/nontrinary or aquaternary/noquaternary, because neither neutrality nor androgyny, nor anything alike have the level of recognition and legitimacy by the western binary system feminininity (specifically lierinity/erainity, and more specifically femaleness) and masculinity (specifically virinity, and more specifically maleness) have.

there is one thing for sure, Ikki is the main, secondary, tertiary, quarternary, quinary rider of revice. toei said so themselves

Ikki vs. the Multiverse. He is everywhere, we will never escape him.

[spiritofthespork]

wait, hold on. Someone who actually watched the dragon age trailer please let me know, cause I’m having a hard time telling from the gifs and screen shots: are any of the companions elves???

like don’t get me wrong, I am so excited for Harding and the quinari lady 10/10, but like I did not play almost exclusively elven mages just to say fuck them elves

[kbearart]

I started playing DA:I again and wanted to do a play through with Marco. He’s a quinari and a little bit of a bleeding heart
