Oh man....

The best quality a fictional man can have is being deeply, pathetically, wretchedly in love with someone, I think

The weirdest guy I ever met in a church was this boy who referred to “Buzz Aldrin and his husband” going to the moon. I was completely baffled, and when I asked if he’d misspoken, he got really angry and accused me of being deliberately ignorant of the facts. It turned out that he was somehow comvinced that Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were married. It took five Wikipedia articles to convince him otherwise.

Hey! Wanted to reach out because you're amazing and in case you've got any interest, wanted to boost the HRPF May AU fandom thing in your general direction.

@hrpffandomeventblog has the event info pinned

Either way, you're awesome and hope the future is bright!

Ooooh that’s so fun!! Thank you so much for letting me know about that. I didn’t actually know about that tumblr at all, and I am now subscribed! I’m not sure how much I’ll have a chance to participate in this particular event, since I really want to focus on the Where You Lead sequel this month—but I am planning to post a 1988 wolfverse timestamp that probably qualifies (though I should check that they don’t have player bans). And I love that they do monthly events. Gonna have to keep my eye out for more to participate in!

if alphas in the omegaverse knew that we referred to it as the "omegaverse" and not the "alphaverse," they'd throw a fit

the wenis dance :D

I blame @coffeehound91 and @linskywords for making me care about the Stars

Once while I was at work a grown ass man told me "no matter how tough you act you'll never be a man, just like I'll never be a woman" and I know he MEANT like "I'm tougher than you because women are weak" but I heard it in Queer and went "Oh.... sweetheart" and he just completely recoiled it was insane

“There is one thing we could look into,” the doctor says. “It’s rare, but if you’ve formed a partial bond with an omega who hasn’t gone through heat yet, your rut might be waiting for their first heat. Is there anyone in your life you think that might have happened with? A friend you spend more time with?”

“No,” Quinn says, racking his mind and coming up empty. “I can’t think of anyone.”

In terms of [French] soldiers, the habit of being tattooed appears to have been well established by the time of the Revolution. […] Another veteran of the [First French] Empire, with twelve campaigns and fifteen wounds to his name, was given a medical examination and was found to have VIVE LE ROI (’Long live the king’) tattooed on his right forearm. For political expediency, the veteran quickly had this tattoo amended to read VIVE LE RÔTI (’Long live roast meat’).

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

That viral video from last month of a giraffe pushing a tortoise was interesting to me because I saw it in French & Spanish corners of the internet and everyone was referring to the animals in the video as 'she' since giraffe & tortoise are feminine words, meanwhile on the English-speaking internet I saw a minority of people referring to them as 'it' or 'they', an overwhelming majority using masculine words, and almost no one use 'she'

Similarly romance language speakers humanised these animals using women's names while English speakers used men's names:

And of course it would have been different had the giraffe been an elephant (masculine word) but yeah I find it interesting that when it comes to personifying animals and things, speakers of gendered languages will go 50% masculine 50% feminine due to grammatical gender, while speakers of a non-gendered language with a neutral pronoun will go like 80% masculine 18% neutral 2% feminine.

It must feel weird to learn a gendered language and have to accept that a door is 'she', but it also feels weird to learn a non-gendered language like English and then scroll down hundreds of comments under an animal video and all the animals are 'he'. I'm reminded of a cartoon I saw on tumblr once with a speaking lightbulb, and all the comments referred to it as 'he' and a 'guy' (in french & spanish, people would call it she.) I wonder how it affects the way you frame the world in your mind? you ask a French kid to personify a spoon or a mouse or a raindrop, it's going to be a female character by default. I feel like that's something English speakers rarely consider—that compared to languages that are 'visibly', officially gendered in a 50/50 way, English is less neutral, and more masculine-gendered. When anglophones learn about grammatical gender they tend to react like "why is a chair a 'she' that's absurd?", but when the context calls for it they'll call a lightbulb 'he' without thinking about it
