Gale's missing modern au scene from the patch 8 animation. The others left the game, while he was preparing gamer snacks. :DD

This is a subject that really interests me because I (28 years old) had computer classes in grade school where learning how to efficiently type was a big focus. As a result I have a very high WPM (words per minute) count and am an excellent touch typer.

However, I've heard that they started phasing out computer classes in a lot of schools because it's assumed that kids/teenagers already know how to use a computer in this day and age. But smartphones are more popular than computers now, and as result a lot of Gen Z/Gen Alpha kids are able to text very quickly but their typing skills aren't as good.

I CANNOT argue with nonhumans like whatever you say gorgeous creature. Can I do a biology depth study on you/make a conspiracy theory commentary video on you/ take unnerving pictures of you sneaking around in the woods/ feed you a peace of cheese/study you under a microscope? Babes I cannot you guys are so cool.

If you're still taking requests, can you please have a little funny moment of Edwin talking about his life and the others or just Charles/Crystal being concerned (I love your art and how you draw them!!!)

I wouldn’t say they are too concerned here…more like intrigued. Thanks for the request!!

hes still figuring this “texting” thing out..

[elbiotipo]

I'm not a linguist and I find the whole excercise of conlanging, while I love it and respect it, beyond my abilities, but I do have one thing or two to say about linguistic diversity and how boring is to have a "common" or "basic" language in fantasy or science fiction without exploring the implications.

Being a bilingual speaker of Spanish and English, and someone that because of work reasons and entertaiment tastes interacts a lot with English, I tend to see English as the equivalent of those "common" or "basic" languages of speculative fantasy. As a useful tool for communication, science technology and commerce. In real life, however, as you are aware, the expansion of English tends to undermine local languages, it's considered more valuable to know English that to know the language of your grandparents, or learn any other language you just feel curious about.

The experiences of every multilingual person are different, but in mine I know English, I write and read and listen to English a lot. But I don't consider myself an English *speaker*, I speak Spanish and more to the point Argentine Spanish, that's the culture I identify with, and it's the language I use to express my feelings and inner thoughts. I can't imagine saying "I love you" to anyone in English, to me it's just a tool I use to access to knowledge or communicate through language barriers ("basic", "common"). But interestingly, by both writing and participating in the wider English-speaker internet culture, isn't it part of my own culture, as an individual, too?

The fact is that English also has a culture(s) and a history and a corpus of literature. So when we write about "Common" or "Basic" languages in fiction we need to ask ourselves: where did they come from? How did they become the standard? Is there a literature, a canon, a culture of "Common" in your fantasy world? What about other languages, other cultures that aren't raised learning it and see it just as a tool? Because no matter the strenght of Anglophone cultural imperialism and the social value of learning English, I don't see Argentines, or for that matter Chinese, Italians or Russians abandoning their first language. And yet even in English and in all other languages (ESPECIALLY other languages, English is remarkably uniform) there is a variety of dialects. And we need to remember, once Latin was spoken only in a village in central Italy, and English in a rather remote rainy island. They weren't destined to have their future roles, history drives language.

So, when an author goes for the "universal language" explanation to avoid linguistic misunderstandings, for me, it raises more questions that I believe are worth exploring.

just made the second-best typo in my entire life

[cinimuffin]

[yallthemwitches]

do you have any favorite smut recs to give?

YES!!

Anything from @scriibble-fics! They write the sexiest James EVER. period. Pack it in everyone. Unfortunately, most of their work is unfinished but it is absolutely still worth the read.

A few of my favs:

Eighteen Again: Second Chances order jily AU (ps. some of the chapters never made it to ao3 from ff.net!)

Bought: Death eater/ Dark marauders AU (note: this one can be a bit racy for people due to its topic of sex work BUT it has the sexiest James I have ever EVER read so...just read at your own risk?)

Magic: Canon, classic Jily chronicalling smut milestones

2. Anything by @missgryffin!!! I don't know what it is but whenever they write about James having a hard-on/ aroused I'm like...sweating.

For the Hope of it all: Summer Jily ft. one bed trope

Desiderium: Canon slugclub oneshot

Love for the Summer: Another summertime canon jily!

3. Golden Whispers by Claudiawrites: jealous! Canon Complaint Jily

4. Earthquake Drills by Elfkdetective: canon jily but I love that this fic goes there with more interesting smut situations as it goes along.

5. Ignite by Theresthesnitch: Another canon jily multi-fic but it also gets kinkier as it goes along.

Extra jilypad 😈

Mistaken by Theresthesnitch: This one is more of a wolfstar/jily foursome situation which was never really my thing until this fic...then it was REALLY my thing.

Best Friends Only by julestales: A classic "jily asks sirius to join them" type fic but I love the build up and the "logistics" (for lack of better term) that leads up to the smut.

Hope this will keep you satiated for a bit ;)
