Headcannon;
In pokemon x persona
Adachi would be a dark (or bug type) user
Narukami would have normal type pokemon
Yosuke would have a multi type team ( frog theme)
Yukiko would be fire type
Chie fighting type
Naoto ice type
Kanji everyone thought would be electric type but surprisingly he has both fairy types and pink pokemon ( Kanji; what?! I look cute things do what!?)
Dojima would have rock type
Nanako would have the whole eeveelutions as her team
And teddie would have bear pokemon
I think it's so funny that you bring that up because I did a what-if persona users were pokemon trainer list years ago (before Scarlet and Violet even came out). I did the entire Arena Ultimax roster + Fuuka. It doesn't contain Dojima or Nanako because they are not persona users. Perhaps they could have something like a Bidoof as a pet, tho. Also, Kanji's cute pokémon is a pikachu that he evolved into a Raichu because he was bullied by the big competition trainer for wanting to be like Ash and not evolve it. My headcanon is that a lot of cuter pokemon are scared of him/don't want to be near him, and he attracts uglier pokemon, Raichu being his only cute one.
All the pokemon chosen are based on the characters' personality, persona, fighting style, and story/character arc. (You'll see that Junpei's team is a bit strange, but there's a good reason for a lot of those pokémon.) I did this list when I was extra fan of persona too, so I can't make a better one:
Yu: Pikachu, Luxray, Reshiram Toxtricity (Low Key form), Zacian, Katagami Yosuke: Crobat, Greninja, Chatot Politoad, Toxicroak, Toxtricity (Amped form) Chie: Crabominable, Hitmonlee, Galarian farfetch Lucario, Mienfoo, Hakamo-o Yukiko: Oricorio (Baile Style), Salazzle, Lurantis, Hatterene, Braixen, Cherrim Kanji: Electivire, Alolan Graveler, Thundurus, Machoke, Raichu, Scrafty Rise: Wigglytuff, Meloetta, Chuchmur Audino, Clefairy, Eevee Teddie: Teddiursa, Bewear, Beartic Pancham, Stufful, Darumaka Naoto: Celebi, Beedrill, Beautifly Orbeetle, Flygon, Scizor Adachi: Mimikyu, Gengar, Zekrom Zamazenta, Rotom, Sableye Marie: Castform, Cosmog, Celesteela Rayquaza, Solrock, Raikou Margaret: Arceus, Cobalion, Zygarde, Calyrex, Machamp, Zapdos Elizabeth: Eternatus, Lunala, Yvetal Uxie, Banette, Galarian M. Mime Labrys: Silvally, Lucario, Guzzlord Azelf, Zoroark, Haxorus Mitsuru: Alolan Ninetales, Weavile, Glastrier, Glaceon, Abomasnow, Frosmoth Akihiko: Hitmonchan, Sir'fetch, Hakamo-o Emolga, Primeape, Falinks Aigis: Magearna, Genesect, Magnezone, Naganadel, Vikavolt, Inteleon Yukari: Miltank, Unfezant♀️, Togekiss Decidueye, Snubbull, Noctowl Ken: Yamask, Metang, Growlithe (Koromaru) Raboot, Escavalier, Togedemaru Junpei: Monferno, Volcanora, Talonflame Nihilego, Meganium, Blaziken Fuuka: Beldum, Gardevoir, Dottler Sho Minazuki: Morpeko, Aegislash, Galarian Moltres, Darmanitan, Alolan Marowak, Absol

So, in Brazilian, USAmerican, and LGBT+ politics news, transgender Brazilian congresswoman Erika Hilton has received from the USA a visa marking her gender as male.

Hilton canceled a trip she was going to make to the US this month, where she was going to participate on Saturday (12) in a panel at the Brazil Conference, and says she will take action against US President Donald Trump at the UN (United Nations) because she considers the case to be transphobic and disrespectful of her Brazilian civil records.

Republicans deliberately use coded language to trick people to vote for them and radicalize their group. Many don't even realize they're radicalized or what they're saying is even racist. This is why they think the Left is "over reacting" because the either know they're using coded language and don't care, or they don't know anything at all.

There's this sort of anthropomorphizing that inherently happens in language that really gets me sometimes. I'm still not over the terminology of "gravity assist," the technique where we launch satellites into the orbit of other planets so that we can build momentum via the astounding and literally astronomical strength of their gravitational forces, to "slingshot" them into the direction we need with a speed that we could never, ever, ever create ourselves. I mean, some of these slingshots easily get probes hurtling through space at tens of thousands of miles per hour. Wikipedia has a handy diagram of the Voyager 1 satellite doing such a thing.
"Gravity assist." "Slingshot." Of course, on a very basic and objective level, yes, we are taking advantage of forces generated by outside objects to specifically help in our goals. We're getting help from objects in the same way a river can power a mill. And of course we call it a "slingshot," because the motion is very similar (mentally at least; I can't be sure about the exact physics).
Plus, especially compared to the other sciences, the terminology for astrophysics is like, really straightforward. "Black hole?" Damn yeah it sure is. "Big bang?" It sure was. "Galactic cluster?" Buddy you're never gonna guess what this is. I think it's an effect of the fact that language is generally developed for life on earth and all the strange variances that happen on its surface, that applying it to something as alien and vast as space, general terms tend to suffice very well in a lot more places than, like... idk, botany.
But, like. "Gravity assist." I still can't get the notion out of my head that such language implies us receiving active help from our celestial neighbors. They come to our aid. We are working together. We are assisted. Jupiter and the other planets saw our little messengers coming from its pale blue molecular cousin, and we set up the physics just right, so that they could help us send them out to far stranger places than this, to tell us all about what they find out there.
We are assisted.
And there is no better way to illustrate my feelings on the matter than to just show you guys one of my favorite paintings, this 1973 NASA art by Rick Guidice to show the Pioneer probe doing this exact thing:

"... You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. ..."
Gravity assist.
#space#astronomy#astrophysics#language#paintings#the antidote to despair is awe#the quote is from the poem ''go to the limits of your longing'' by rainer maria rilke and translated by joanna macy#druid speaks#the thing that got me thinking about this was watching Animation VS Physics tbh#because the whole gravity assist section is so epic in scale and the music swells and its so. Romantic in the art movement sense#i mean the whole thing is epic like that. but seeing the term ‘’gravity assist’’ pop up did something to my brain specifically

the fact that languages change over time is so funny to me. we have thousands of language that work perfectly well, but no that's not good enough, we need to keep fiddling with them. no not making them better, just making them different. why? well, humans enjoy making up words and phrases. for fun. enrichment activity
#sure every few hundred years languages become unrecognizable to their previous form#and modern readers need special education to be able to translate & analyze any part of an immense written inheritance of historical work#which is a huge barrier and dissuades many from investigating the cultural foundations of the societies they live in#but consider: the constant human yearning for New Slang

I really like this russian edition of classic books. Letting famous artists do the covers in YA style was such a simple but clever decision. According to the recent study the number of teenage readers increased, possibly thanks to these covers. I own traditional classics with blank covers but if I ever see one of these in the wild, it’ll probably make me go feral.
Here are some of my favs:

Dracula (art by Renibet)

2.Jane Eyre (art by Ulunii)

3. Little women (art by чаки чаки)

4. The Idiot (the hedgehog-omg-) (art by Xinshi)

5. Pride and Prejudice (art by Cactusute)

6. War and Peace (art by Xinshi)

7. Wuthering Heights (art by Renibet)

8. The Great Gatsby (art by NIKEL)

9. Frankenstein (art by Iren Horrors)

10. Crime and Punishment (art by REDwood)

11. Anna Karenina (art by Ulunii)

12. The Cherry Orchard (art by lewisite)

13. The Master and Margarita (art by Renibet)

I had a dream last night that I was trying to translate something into Italian and I discovered that Google Translate had added several languages that weren't,,, actually languages?
Like they had one called 'Neurotypical' that took cryptic double-meanings and made them straight-forward, and they had one called 'Corporate' that translated bureaucratic bullshit into plain words, but the one that I remember most clearly was called 'Passive-Aggressive Asshole,' and it looked like this -

In the dream I also put in "You're so welcome" and it translated it to "You'd better be grateful, you fuck."
#one time i dreamt#weird dreams#dreams#google translate#translation#language#passive-aggressive asshole#i do wish the neurotypical one was real though#autism things#actually autistic

#it basically translates to 'im lonely and i want company!!!' at this point#ford using this excuse when about to go on a grocery run#'oh no i'm too old to carry all those shopping bags'#'stan two i just saw you dropkick a giant on its nose before doing a backflip just yesterday.'#ford pines#stanford pines#stan using his old man powers to get what he wants via faking a heart attack and getting senior citizen discounts 10 years earlier#ford is using his to go 'keep me company!!!'

anyone who thinks dostoevsky's writing is dry and humourless is missing out on passages like this
#🐉#i dont think my version is the most common translation because its worded a bit differently#(but still gets the same point across)#however im glad because this bit makes me howl every time i remember it
