Manu the miracle 💫

#that pause after he said he didn’t know what his life would be like if he couldn’t play football again said everything #even though he’s got such a tight grasp on his emotions—in that moment you can see how much the injury rattled him #how much it still hurts to think about #you can tell he always has to be so strong—so composed…and to see a glimpse of his vulnerability makes my heart ache #I can only imagine how much strength and willpower he must’ve needed to overcome an injury like that #the dictionary definition of resilience #he’s got mental fortitude like no other in the world #an inspiration to us all ❤️#manuel neuer #fc bayern #fc bayern munich #fc bayern münchen #videos #footballer quotes

#he's so floppy recently and I hope it's just the heat. I think wamr weather makes everyone floppy and loungy #a beauntifulle boye...#cats #STILL working on posting some drafts. finishing new poll adventure.. other things... It's just hard with the weather and other things going #on. I've had a few more doctors appointments and other things to do recently that have to be done in a time limit #so I hvae to use my extremely limited energy working on that instead of doing the things I'd really rather do. :T #Main focuses though are keeping up better with doing and posting costumes + sculptures as main creative things. at least finishing the #main poll adventure story. Reworking the game I kind of abandoned for a few years. keeping up with game videos and a few other side things.#Especially the game though. I've been in a really worldbuildy mood recently. I just wish that was easier to manifest into something. I've #now put the worldbuilding slideshow reading video on pause for a while because it's SOOO long to do #and I think I should prioritize making games and stuff instead. but still other things. IT's just kind of like.. I have a whole world and #everything very built and planned out but now.. what do I do with it? what's the best way to share that? factual slideshows just going over #the information like a dictionary? make it into a game? write short stories? do art attached to the world? etc. etc. ?? There are so many #potential avenues I end up kind of flip flopping between them a lot because none really seem more beneficial than the others and they all #seem equally enjoyable and also equally hard so. It's like?? I guess just do what the hell ever and hope I made the right choice in terms o #cost benefit and reward for my time lol. ANYWAY.. Also why I'm in my 'trying to make friends' era still because I think having other creat #ive friends can help you find direction like.. people will meet each other and then go 'hey lol just for fun lets start a project together!#and then like 5 years later it's genuinely become something. etc. having other people to help weed out ideas and start small creative teams #together and etc. I feel is a very beneficial part of networking or whatever but also I have the social capacity of a stale bread roll and #am also inherently unrelatable to seemingly a majority of people due to my hermit wizard swag (detachment from general society and hyper #focus on fantasy worlds in my head gjhghj) so trying to meet people as a grown adult with social issues is Very easy and fun (it is not)#even very basic things like my core communication style is so incompatible with a lot of people it's like.. hhhh... People in this modern #age have GOT to stop being afraid of phone calls and/or text that is longer than 6 paragraphs. Work with me here. I WANT to talk to you. bu #I do not know what your emojis mean and it's physically impossible for me to type less than 85 sentences. please.. hhjgjgb #AAANYWAY!! I am working on things when I can given the circumstances (SUMMER).. hopefully some costume pictures and stuff soon. :'3 #I've not forgotten about my art and etc. - as usual I just am bad at social media and also functioning if it's above 65F lol

watanuki being compared to caged birds and beautiful women and cats who have sex and cats who die and witches and butterflies and ancient flirtation methods and flouncing about in his metaphorical mother's boxes of silky clothes, airily operating like a beautiful spectre who's grown into his body but stuck in the past is so ?????????

#yet again i am pondering the creature #xxxholic #like im sorry thats so much to think about...#i love all of my hcs and concepts for a world where watanuki does not have to suffer forever in stasis but #it does suit him in a fascinating and sad way #like he slayed being a willowy dead fish eyed lavish androgynous beauty with a suicidal ideation complex #with messy transient arms length relationships and tentative scared ties to the people he loves due to trauma #like hes the poster boy on the front page when you look up the definition of depression in the dictionary #but hes so complicated and pretty and doomed and dresses really fancy #this is the sort of thing i think about with no warning at random times of the day

just had the thought "after i exhaust the french fiction, poetry, and textbooks i own, i could read the french dictionary cover to cover" and got, like, GENUINELY excited about it.

#this is the best idea anyone has ever had!#no more wondering how to pronounce things. no more wondering what a word means. it's right there! it tells you!!!!!!#i already read the dictionary on a semi-regular basis but never the whole thing just certain sections at a time #and not out loud. this would be reading out loud #also it would be in french obviously. usually when i read the dictionary i'm reading the english dictionary #(or more accurately the english section of a dual-language dictionary since i don't own a regular english dictionary)#i don't actually think this would be an effective way to acquire new vocab and then retain it but it sounds SO fun #it's going to take me like a year to read all the french fiction poetry and textbooks i own but after that. watch out world!!#french #lecture du dico #my posts #in other news i retook this vocabulary quiz that i last took about 9 months ago #and at the time i scored in the lower 47th percentile and it was like congrats! you have the vocabulary of an 8yo in france!#and THIS time i scored in the higher 47th percentile (+6%) and NOW i apparently have the vocabulary of a 10yo in france!#hah! in your face french children! it takes you two years to learn the words i can learn in nine months!!!!#(this is a joke the quiz probably has like a 5% margin of error lol)#(also french children are DEFINITELY learning french faster than me. no question. but let me have this)

Note: This dictionary will be a compilation of words I have created for use in my own stories. I thought to share them as I go. Truthfully, it's simply a fun way to make my writing more immersive.

I've mentioned in the past that Durese sounds similar to Huttese, which we hear Duros speak Durese in Battlefront 2 multiplayer mode. Going off the idea that Huttese was based on the Incan language Quechuan, I am also using this language for the basis of my own construction.

*Updates will most likely be sporadic.

‘Barbaric’ is too soft a term to describe the Zionazis’ crimes.

By the way, the US vetoed a ceasefire again today (Dec 8 2023). No surprise there. I mean, racist colonialist governments must stick by each other, no?

#fuck israel #free palestine #end israeli apartheid #ethnic cleansing #palestinian genocide #israeli war crimes #israeli terrorism #Israel war of expansion #settler colonialism #this is savagery and zionazis should be the dictionary picture #the end of Zionism is going to be glorious guys mark my worlds #the eternal humiliation is going to be a sight to behold

Petition to bring back the archaic word "fere" as a gender neutral* term for a companion/mate/spouse. It has roots from the Old English word "gefera" roughly meaning "one who goes with another" and is pronounced "feer" which sounds like "Dear" which is already a term of endearment and is homophonous with "fear" so you can sound like an oxymoronic gay vampire or smth ("Hello my Fere >:)")

*the word "fere" was gender-neutral in English but has evolved into male-gendered words like "fuhrer" and "frere" in German and French respectively

#dolphin noises #guess who's been reading the dictionary for fun again :D #not cover to cover that'd be boring just flipping through looking for cool stuff #I did this a lot in high school bc I had no friends but I learned a lot about absinthe 😌#Dictionary.com feeds me ads but Webster's New World College Dictionary 3rd Edition (c. 1996) would never 💜#I'm less of a linguistics person like my sister and more just like increasing my vocabulary with very specific and unusual words #I love that English has words for throwing stones (lapidation) and also throwing someone through a window (defenestration)#have you heard of lithobraking that one's too new to be in my dictionary but I find it hilarious. To slow down by crashing on purpose 😂#alas my sesquipedalian tendencies can sadly not be sated in my more recent writing bc that would be 2hcb1 #3rd person limited POV from Asbel? Probably not gonna break out the word 'compunction' even if it DOES perfectly fit chapter 2 😩#Also the word 'abseil' it means to descend by rapelling which he does multiple times! And it looks like his name! BUT HE WOULD NOT SAY THAT #I guess I need to write more Richard or Hubert POV so i can write in my own voice 😅 or update my old zesty fic Mikleo likes big words too 😁

Love when the only translation the Latin dictionary had for a particular word was in Chinese

#Don't get me wrong Mandarin is the most spoken language in the world it would seem natural to me that that should be the main dictionary #But the specific experience of feeding a set of Chinese characters into your computer to try to get a rough translation into English #Because it's so far away from literally any possible language I might even be capable of understanding was quite funny #I love learning #Full-on mediaeval peasant posting here where I trust in my local priest (google) to translate these intellectual languages #that I can't understand; for you see I was only taught the barbaric tongue of Scots and pidgin Latin; and I have no Mandarin

i love websites that contain text-based information

#'is this not every website?' well maybe. if you're deep enough into cheese prices i guess the grocery store website is allowed to count #and there are interesting things about youtube without watching the videos etc etc. anything is information #but you know what i mean. i mean wikipedia #but i also mean the few and far between parts of the internet where stand alone websites are still being maintained by someone #who is passionate enough to start a whole website for the thing in the first place #i'm thinking about some of the websites about flags i visited a while back. websites about airplanes. i love you websites about airplanes #i am also VERY specifically thinking about thai-language.com #an incredibly comprehensive online thai dictionary with transcriptions marked with tone and MANY audio clips #with context notes and long long loooong lists of example uses in both compound words/phrases and actual sentences #AND their search is actually functional and the website is incredibly helpfully set up and easy to navigate from word to word?#and it's FREE???#literally truly genuinely. makes me feel the way looking at ao3 does. i'm overwhelmed with love #also in the way that i can easily lose a few hours there though. in that way too #*#wait i just noticed they have a typing game!!! this is opening up a new world for me and my thai keyboard stickers #'Objective: Prevent Mars from being invaded by Thai orthography.' fjdkf GOD i fucking love the internet

Whenever I randomly remember things from my earliest childhood memories, things that don't exist anymore really like the DVD rental place at my old grocery store and grocery stores that had tables and chairs inside to eat at, I think of that "Sure, Grandma, let's get you to bed" meme

#im sure these exist still at some stores but not mine #also sadly my childhood grocery store closed many many years ago.#oh and the walmart fish tanks #television before hdtv #driving using an atlas #calling information to get the phone number for a restaurant to make a reservation #phone books #im not supposed to feel old im 24 #miss those days :(#mostly miss how it was easier to live in the world without access to the entire planet's worth of information in my pocket #oh lord i just remembered looking up things in a physical dictionary or encyclopedia #*insert im like the crypt keeper freaky friday gif here*#random #2000s nostalgia #1990s nostalgia

guess who started rambling about runeterran languages—

#SORRY MEL SKCNAKSKA #here’s hoping this post is actually coherent—#i LOVE lore ok #(for context i used to dm a league campaign and i made a huge document of world lore from deepdiving into anything related to worldbuilding #that includes how languages were spread n etc)#i even have resources for the ionian language…. sentence structure; dictionary n all but it’s not like super complete or anything bc #there’s not a Lot to read on in general #and the zed comic isnt my fave bc i’d rather pretend certain scenes didn’t exist BUT #it gave me lots of character building stuff to go off of for akali #i wrote a whole ass essay on how she loves 😭 and that’s just one topic #edit: although i believe i wrote the essay before i read the zed comic??#i’ll go see if i can find my post about it in the morning #or rather posts #but essentially she has so mUCH DEPTH #she has so much lore and potential and AAA i love her sm #anyway YEAH VIBRATES #mun

the dictionary informs me that the h in héros is aspirated while the h in the related adjective héroïque is not. yeah, likely story. am i a joke to you? am i being punk'd?

#bad enough that apparently houille is aspiré and huile is muet when i for some reason thought it was the other way around #but at least those are from different roots (even if the meanings are semantically related enough that i sometimes get them confused)#but le héros vs l'héroïque? are you joking me right now?#french #my posts #this came up because i saw the phrase 'l'héroïque' in voyage au centre de la terre and was like 😒 wait a second....#i am looking forward to seeing if i can spot any patterns in the dictionary #but i'll be real with you this has thrown some water on the embers of my hope :(#if even these two related words can't agree on h aspiration then what hope do the rest of us have?#i guess there's only one thing for it. diving back into the extremely intimidating world of french diachronic phonetics #may glorb have mercy on my soul
