#sounds good on the tongue

I watch a lot of youtube sewing content because that's how I be and like.

Why sewist? Why is that the word that's been settled on? It sounds weird

I know we don't want to use seamstress or seamster, because those are very gendered. And tailoring is a specific type of sewing so can't use tailor unless that's. what you do

But listen, people have been using sewer as in sew-er for decades and it's been fine. Person who sews. Sewer. I know that looks like sewer, as in place where waste water goes, but it isn't pronunced like that, and if it bothers people we can spell it sewwer

I don’t know, maybe it’s because I’m Irish and used to seeing all sorts of haha jokes about how weird our names are etc but yet I’m always surprised how surprised people are when I say that I find Welsh a pretty easy language to get the gist of. It makes sense! Welsh is something I know very little of but yet I find it easy enough to parse out the pronunciation of. I don’t always know what things mean but I’m not usually that far off in how they should be said.

Blyke and Isen: Courage and Cowardice

‼️Spoiler Warning for up to ep. 196 ‼️

Blyke and Isen are character foils, particularly when it comes to running away.

Isen always tries to run from his problems. He is, for lack of a better term, a scaredy cat. Of all the major characters, Isen has the most fear, and is the most willing to show it outwardly as well. However, while he may seem cowardly at a glance, he actually is shown to stick up and face his problems a lot, especially later on in the story. Isen’s feelings always scream at him to run away and save himself. His head tells him to stay and face the problem.

Blyke is the opposite. Blyke always wants to face his problems dead-on. He wants to rush in and punch his problems away no matter what. Blykes head is what tells him to run away. Blyke wakes up from a nightmare, and his coping mechanism is to go out and shoot lasers at bad guys, so he can get strong enough to fight his problem (John).

They both usually end up facing their problems, but they get pushed and pulled from opposite forces.

I wanna talk about this scene:

Remi is currently being burned alive by Volcan. Alana was just killed in front of all of them. Blyke and Isen are both terrified.

Isen wants to run and hide, but as the scene goes on...

Isen overcomes that fear, because his desire to save Remi is stronger.

Blyke wants to jump in there desperately, and he seems to project some of that onto Isen. However, his head is telling him that he and Isen should do it together— Isen going in with Blyke as a sharpshooter.

I wanna talk about this scene too:

I didn’t screenshot the whole thing, but I don’t need to. I barely even need to talk about what this means— this is my claim, illustrated right there. Blyke’s head is shouting at him with logic and telling him all the reasons why this is stupid and he should leave, but his feelings and empathy are making him stay.

I also want to point out that Isen follows orders out of fear, whereas Blyke follows them out of respect. Neither of them follow John. Isen, because he knows going against John is the right thing to do, and his morals outweigh his fear. Blyke, because he’d rather eat his own shoe.

Isen and Blyke are character foils, not because one is brave and the other cowardly, but because they are both very brave in opposite ways. Isen follows his head, Blyke follows his heart, and it leads them both to the same place.

Now, both characters are way more complex than this, and a lot more goes into the decisions they make than just the balance of courage and cowardice. This especially goes for Isen, because I don’t feel I quite hit the nail on the head, but this analysis is just about one particular aspect.

Why do you talk like what a Gen Z believes a victorian poet to sound like? /j

don’t harrass the bereft jester and thought peddler, measks. mebegs, even. he cries easily and there is no shizun to comfort him.

Discovering in my thirties that my use of the past participles “sat” and “stood” instead of their present participles (sitting/standing) is nonstandard and grammatically incorrect

And regional

Like regional to all of the UK buddy…unless maybe you’re the King, I guess.

That’s going to be pretty hard to unlearn! It’s incredibly widely accepted. I’ve definitely used it across my writing

goodnight

[s4pphoiduser]

in a world with an aftg show (because it Has to be a show, not a movie) seth would have a Pretty Guy actor playing him who looked even prettier when he was sneering or scowling and people would make edits of him with the velocity + slo-mo effects and be like "i can fix him"

Yesterday, I got stopped behind a huge diesel Ram, that absolutely rolled coal as he went through the intersection, and was covered in "tribal"esque decals, you know the type, that only white men are drawn to, and front and center was a sticker that read

A penny because I genuinely thought your blog name was all one word and used to say it really quickly in my mind

Babes I’m incredibly flattered you bothered pronouncing it 🫣 if I saw a handle that long with no clear capitals, spaces, or easily identifiable words I’d probably skim over it 😭🤦
