here is my one bit of wisdom as a 32 year old with no interest in being a "fandom elder" or "community mom" or whatever -
if someone a little older in your friend group takes care of things and has good advice to offer and whatever, and you all sometimes joke abt them being the mom friend, that's fine and normal
if someone self declares themselves as the mom friend, and begins to act like that is a role with actual authority, Fucking Run
#OH MY GOD?#I FINALLY FOUND A NORMAL POST ABOUT THIS#Thank you OP I feel significantly less insane right now

I've been seeing this trend going around about all the terrible things about being a lesbian and I just wanna say, I love being a lesbian, I wake up everyday thankful that I'm a lesbian, I'm proud to be a lesbian, if there's one thing right about me is that I'm a lesbian, being a lesbian is honestly fucking great, I love my desire, I love my love, i love my attraction, I love this part of me so much 💖

Important about Tumblr posts
Do not tag “epilepsy” use “eyestrain” instead to save Epileptic life
Tagging flashing lights with Epilepsy or epilepsy warning will make it show up for epileptic users talking about epilepsy
“Eyestrain” and “flashing” are safe to use as a tag and save many folks

No one asked for this one, but…
If you made lore for a character you’ve had since you were 16, and you’re in your 20s now and have a better grasp of narrative structure and power creep, you can just retcon the dumb stuff. Like you can do that for free. You’re not beholden to the junk you wrote 5 years ago, and you don’t need to justify removing it if it sucks.
#I love doing this#I have this one OC that I made when I was 14 because I was bored in maths#And I've just kept adding her to the new projects I'm working on#Adjusting her character to better fit my current writing style#Her current form is#Kit#a lesbian super-hero who can communicate with animals#And I love her

since we're all talking abt newcomers and stuff, when did you guys first join tumblr
for me it was back in like 2014 (i think) when i was in my twenty one pilots phase and didnt know how tumblr worked but i saw funny memes of it on facebook
i then tried to make a #inspirational quotes from animes and cartoons account where i just yoinked stuff from google images lmfao
#2011. I was barely 13 and I had spent years searching for a new place to RP since my last chatroom died#And I saw an RP blog while looking on Google images#And I read every post on it before going 'I need to make one of these'#And it's been downhill ever since <3#I think it took another year or two for me to make like. A normal blog

Narvin is Lana if Lana was an annoying little man and the narrative made an attempt to condemn imperialism. Also if her people skills were worse and she was a bit less competent
I just realised that Narvin is a bit like a male(-passing), worse version of Lana and suddenly my fascination with him makes sense
#.txt#'Made an attempt'. It's Big Finish it's only ever going to go so far#But the version of Gallifrey that lives in my head does it right#Also I'm not saying that Narvin is incompetent#I'm just saying that Lana wouldn't get blown up nearly as often as he does#Also they are actually very different characters#But the similarities are killing me

#.txt#I'm going to cry#Literally not something I ever expected to think#Lana is cooler than Narvin on literally every level#In large part due to the fact that#unlike Narvin#Lana actually is cool#I was just thinking though that Lana would fit in the CIA frighteningly well#She's also better than Narvin because#She would get along with the entire main cast (except for Brax) pretty quickly#God I feel insane

So this is a weird ask but I figured an Actual Welsh Person would be the person to go to, and you've been pretty gung-ho about the language thing. So I hope I'm not bothering you with this.
Is there a cultural consensus on foreigners learning Welsh? I'm American and I don't have a single shred of Welsh ancestry. My family is historically German, and we've been here since the English Colony days, so it honestly seems really weird even to try to claim some tie to German heritage.
Anyway, my point is, I have absolutely zero legitimate claim to the Welsh language. I don't plan to travel to Wales in the foreseeable future. I have no reason to learn Welsh except that it sounds pretty and I enjoy a challenge.
Putting aside the issue of "lmao it's gonna be stupid difficult to learn an endangered language if you don't have anyone to speak it with" (I have a loose plan for dealing with that, and the experience of learning two languages to "can read most novels without needing the dictionary" level without anyone to speak them with in person already) entirely, do you reckon it's okay for me to study Welsh? I know Americans are really, really bad about just kinda assuming the whole world belongs to us, and I'm trying not to do that here. Especially because Welsh IS endangered.
I imagine your average Welsh person probably doesn't care what some random American does. But like, for people who care about the language...Would it be considered disrespectful or overstepping for me to study it? I don't expect you to speak for the entire country, of course, but I respect your opinion and I feel like you'd have a grasp on what the general feeling towards a foreigner like me might be.
Thanks for your time.
I honestly, truly, do not understand how the discussion around cultural appropriation has been twisted in the cultural zeitgeist to such an extent that people now feel anxiety about learning other languages.
This is not a personal attack on you, Anon - the gods only know that you clearly care and want to do the right thing, and that's beautiful and wonderful and also I will come back to extolling your personal virtues at the end of this post, so stay tuned. But I do want to take a moment here to talk about the broader issue at play, which I have seen echoed multiple times elsewhere, because fuck me what are we doing to ourselves.
Learn. Languages.
That is what languages are for! To be used for communication. If you don't learn languages, you are forcing everyone else to use yours. How have we somehow, as a culture, twisted that into being the less selfish option? How have we done that? I posted my favourite Welsh idiom recently, and someone reblogged it and wrote in the tags that they loved the idiom and would start using it, but they would do so in English because their "Welsh pronunciation would make their Welsh grandmother spin in her grave."
What kind of mental gymnastics is that?
How the fuck do you twist it so badly that you think taking a Welsh idiom for your own and exclusively using it in English is less offensive than saying it in Welsh but maybe a bit wrong? I've literally had people proclaim to me that they're learning Welsh on Duolingo but they never speak it because they're too self-conscious, and they tell me this not to highlight a massive flaw in themselves that they need to work on, but as though I'm supposed to pat them on the head and thank them for... still making me speak English to them.
There was that post where a Deaf blogger received an anonymous ask saying learning sign language is cultural appropriation, as though Deaf people haven't been calling for Sign to be taught in schools. As though a Deaf person being entirely isolated in everyday hearing society unless they have an interpreter with them is less offensive than a hearing person being able to use BSL.
Like, these are not sacred or religious languages. The purpose of Welsh or BSL or what have you is not to perform the Eleusinian mysteries. It's a living everyday language, same as English -
Except it's not the same as English. As Anon here so rightly points out, Welsh is endangered. That means we are desperate for people to learn it. That's how it will survive. That's how we reversed it from 'dying language' to 'living language', in fact - we managed to get lots of people to learn it. You know what is a threat, though? People not learning it because, like poor Anon here, they've been somehow convinced by Western society that you're only allowed to learn languages if you personally have a historic or cultural connection to them that you can prove via six forms of ID and a letter of recommendation from a druid. Or people never using it because they're too embarrassed to try and risk losing face by getting it wrong, or maybe sounding a bit silly, and thus forcing us to use English anyway. Those are threats.
Anon. Listen to me, feel the sincerity of my words: we adore you. We adore you. You cannot imagine how appreciated it is when someone learns Welsh. You cannot imagine how touched we are that you wanted to, that you tried, that you respected us enough and considered us valid enough that you made the effort. Our closest neighbours are the very people who are still trying to stamp out Welsh to this very day. Do you know the number 1 reaction I get, by a country mile, when I tell English people that I speak Welsh? It's some variant on a scoff, and the sentiment "Why? What's the point? Bit useless, isn't it?"
By a country mile. That's the reaction I expect, and brace for, and is overwhelmingly what I get.
So when someone who isn't Welsh actually chooses to learn Welsh?
Imagine what that feels like! To go from not-even-hidden disgust, from outright mockery and often active suppression campaigns, to a foreigner earnestly telling me that they love and respect my language so much they're trying to learn it. Imagine how that feels.
Please learn Welsh. Please learn it. We will love you for it. We will build you a statue. We will bake little Welshcakes with your face on in icing sugar. We will write you poems in complex rhyme. We'll name an Eisteddfod prize after you. We'll name at least, like, three sheep after you. Thank you, thank you so much for even wanting to learn. You're a delight and a marvel and a wonder. Your hair looks great today, as it does all days. You're a strong, independent human being of immense wisdom and compassion. If this were a Welsh myth you'd be a wise salmon the heroes came to for advice. What a fantastic human.
The welcome awaits if you choose to learn
#GOOD FUCKING POST#please learn Welsh it's such a pretty language#Every time I see people say that Welsh is 'closed' I want to commit actual real murder#IT'S NOT CLOSED I SWEAR TO GOD#So many people in my Welsh class. That I took. In Wales. Were not Welsh#Frankly it's more offensive if you live in Wales and refuse to learn any Welsh (vaguing my father)#All I'd say is to make sure you're being respectful about it#But that should be a given for any language#I love when people who aren't Welsh know some Welsh#Genuinely makes me so happy#Even if all they can say is like. Bore da.#I will say Bore da to them every morning just because I can#I went off on a tangent#This is just important to me
