we might be getting a sburb lore book? which i LOVE the idea of, but last i heard hussie mentioned it they said they might pawn that crap off to someone else

and ngl if its not written by them i kinda dont want it

#mun chatters #it really has be to hussie derived bullshit for me to care #bc ik they said they might pass that off to a community theorist if they did a book like that #and i cant express how much i dont care about someones opinions that i can read online for free in book form #i want to know what was going on in hussies brain specifically when they were crafting sburb even if it were dogshit #so im Pensive but Exited

Hey so ive been this reading this manga called "ojisama to neko" ( eng: "a man and his cat" ) and its sosososo cute so sweet 10/10 would recommend also THE MAIN MAN LOOKS. KINDA LIKE SAWASHIRO EVEN IF THEIR PERSONALITIES COULDNT BE MORE FAR APART. His name is Fuyuki Kanda and he is very dear to me just thought to share hope u have a wonderful day

NOOOO I LOVE OJISAMA TO NEKO SO MUCH !!!! I REMEMBER WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT YEARS AGO AND I REALLY WANTED PHYSICAL COPIES OF IT DESPITE IT BEING ONLY IN JAPANESE AT THE TIME AAAAAA SUCH A GOOD SERIES I LOVE FUKUMARU SO MUCH….

#snap chats #kanda and sawashiro do look. Sort Of similar ig LOL #love that his last name’s kanda tho since TTM also plays a chara named kanda #that show- ‘meishi game-‘ was the first ttm thing i watched im p sure. or at least one of them #either way forcing all of you to read ojisama to neko. also maiing all of you to remind me to get the physical volumes sometime #i forget that they have english translations now and i always remember too late or when i alreay have plans to buy another book #i kept up with the series online when it was first announced and did my best to translate everything #so i keep holding off on buying the offiical release since Ive Read It Before but i love owning physical media….#anyway ty for giving me an excuse to gush about ojisama to neko i love that series so much and its so cute and its my world and everything #tho on the note of comparing sawashiro and kanda.. im reminded of this manga i was disappointed by #i forget the exact title but the premise was a yakuza taking in a stray cat- from the cats POV #and the summary already sounded perfect and right up my alley but then i read the book #and STORY WISE it was what i was looking for but… the yakuza looked like a punk #esp since he was described as being notorious i was expecting an older man No I Dont Have A Thing For Old Men Shut Up #so when it was this chara who didnt look any older than like. 25….. i lost interest #‘snap you shouldnt put down a good story just cause of the art’ LIKE THE ART WAS GREAT #I WAS JUST HOPING THE YAKUZA WAS OLDER….. i love it when scary older men can be cute and care for animals #its why i like the yakuza’s bias. except the yakuza doesn’t take care of an animal he just fangirls over Royalty Free Jimin #i forgot i set an alarm and it just went off so i should prob cap this post. like i shouldve twelve tags ago LOL

i definitely think quarantine stunted everyone under the age of like 25's growth and its detrimental to society today

#like obviously society was 'on hold' for however long people decided they wanted to quarantine for if they even did #and people were doing and saying the craziest shit wayyy before the pandemic #but i notice a lot in the younger kids in my neighborhood thay are starting middle school or are starting school in general #that they act 3 years younger and arent fully adjusted (?) to where their brains need to be for their ages #even with teens in my classes! obviously we're teens and we act immature but this like a whole other level #you have people in class stuck in 6th-7th grade and dont know what a rhyming word is #and not even like your usual handful of ppl who cheated their way thru school but like a good 5 ppl in class know the diff between #metaphors nd similes. we're reading classic literature and stories set 100 years ago when blk people were making their own communites #and you have people loudly whine that theyre pissed at the book and nobody talked like Shakespeare did in the 1500s or #nobody talked like just free black people back in early 1900s #like duh quarantine was necessary and all but i think a side effect of it was general immaturity in society #l speaks #ranting in the tags because i can #OH. i was gna mention ab online discourse too like obvi people over 30 use the internet #but you only really ever see dumb fights with insane outcomes come from people who just hit drinking age #idk i just feel like i noticed something that j think other ppl may have noticed but.

i've been thinking about this a lot recently and for like the last year since i've taken translation theory courses and gotten more proficient in my second language buuuuuut. only like 3% of published works in american/english first language book stores are translated from other languages. compare that to how quickly books published in english get translated into other languages. an author could be incredibly well known in their home country or to their audience of native language speakers, but they're still considered "nobodies" by the general english speaking population because of a lack of translations into english.

part of the problem i think is the cultural superiority english speakers feel in the world right now and how its trying to bury other cultures and languages because english is best. this then leads to nobody seeing a reason to translate works from other languages or only translating very few* because there isnt an audience for "foreign" literature. i dont think most of my classmates outside the spanish program have read many, if any works by non-english speaking authors and that really is a shame because it opens so many new viewpoints on the world and gives you a look into other cultures right in your own home!

*the exception here i think is anime/manga which has an incredibly dedicated fanbase creating fanlations for smaller series that havent gotten official english dubs/subs/translations. japanese literature still has a hard time on the market in america though

#this isnt super coherent dont take this as fact or anything just my opinion #but i have noticed that its somewhat difficult to get anything other than a few classics as translated novels #officially anyway. like i have 100 years of solitude and hopscotch on my bookshelf #i think when i was looking for a copy of el lugar sin limites (jose donoso) i saw an english translation of htat #but it was more likely to be in portuguese or french or its original spanish #i think they didnt have any copies of the english text actually #uhm. also poetry in other languages when translated? exquisite #shoutout to translators who do poetry because goddamn that is so hard #to make it sound pretty and preserve the original meaning in that way to a new audience #translation is the art and science of languages i think.#anyway the site i linked had a translations database but it got moved so. idk what to do with that.#uhm anyway try reading more translated books or short stories #you can find quiroga's short stories translated online for free #or at least i found a la deriva for free online and it uses really striking imagery in it #shay speaks

Are you seriously accusing Marina of harassment when you all bypass the lock yourself and climb into her blogs to take a screenshot of any of her incorrect posts? You and your friends created a blog to stalk her, not she.

try jumping to conclusions a little harder and you might just win yourself a medal in the olympics.

#i'm not going to waste any more of my energy on this #if you want a civil conversation about the situation - you're free to dm me #idm explaining things but i'm not going to do it through anon asks #though the tl;dr is: marina has harassed me repeatedly - before and after her apology. i have the screenshots if you want them #i havent bypassed any ''lock'' wtf. i dont seek out stuff that upsets me. i curate my online space (something /someone/ should learn <3)#also when said ''we'' in the prev post regarding this; i meant me & the other people marina has harassed. theyre not my friends??#most of them ive never even interacted with; big exception for lakka bc i know him personally #anyway i implore you to find something better to do with your time. go read a book or something #cw drama #cw discourse #anonymous #answered #bunch of huppelkutjes in my inbox smh

how to be rich and luxurious⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🌺

we must first understand that being rich is a state of mind. you could be broke and not poor. never poor. poor is a state of mind. and that choice that u make to be rich or poor is ultimately yours cuz u control ur thoughts.

so how do we radiate luxury and become luxurious? through having luxurious thoughts. we know that what we think manifests so lets think things that make us richer in every aspect of our lives.

LUXURY IS AN ENERGY ;

when you exude the energy of luxury, YOU’LL ALWAYS BE LUXURIOUS. the luxury that u exude will manifest. thoughts manifest. have luxurious thoughts -> a luxurious reality WILL manifest. its rly that simple ✨

CULTIVATING LUXURY ENERGY ;

u cultivate luxury energy, like i mentioned before, through luxury thoughts. but if ur not used to thinking luxury thoughts/have a lack or poverty mindset, here are some affirmations to start and guide thinking.

im grateful that im so abundant and rich in the things that i love

im like barbie cuz i have more then enough of everything

i have SO much, that i can bless others with my riches

i live my life lavishly

you can cultivate luxury by doing things that make u feel rich and luxurious. some things that help me to feel that way are.

drinking drinks from a designated cup or wine-glass

silky robes are EVERYTHING. or wearing lingerie and matching bra and panty sets

consistently practicing self care every single day

wearing jewelry

ofc everyone has different things that make them feel rich and different classifications for what luxury is and isn’t and that’s your choice to make ultimately.

i recommend making a list of what makes u feel luxurious and doing that often. literally when i go to costco or a whole-sale store and have free samples i feel luxurious 😭 bcuz im INDULGING.

that goes to show that u dont need to do the most to feel luxurious right at this moment. and that leads me to my next point.

INDULGE YOURSELF ;

don’t deny yourself the things that u desire and the things that you want. if u want ur fun little drink, have ur fun little drink. get ur nails done, take urself shopping every now and then. if u can’t afford to get these done, do it yourself.

you have the ability to make yourself feel special and luxurious. the idea to this is to cultivate the feeling of being rich or the feeling of abundance and luxury.

start a collection that you can have a lot of, change the perspective in which u see the things that u already own. kind of like seeing a cup have full then a cup half empty?

THINGS TO BE RICH IN ;

be rich in knowledge, be rich in culture, be rich in relationships, be rich in beauty. be rich in whatever interests that u might have.

to be rich in knowledge -> seek higher education, study, read lots of books, start writing and seeking knowledge in whatever interests you

to be rich in culture -> learn more about ur own culture and the culture of other people. explore and educate yourself on religion and customs that interest you. be well versed in another language or in something that’s important in todays media and pop culture

to be rich in relationships -> don’t close yourself up to meaningful relationships that you have. don’t take everything seriously and practice being social.

to be rich in beauty -> take impeccable care of yourself and your body. pamper yourself every single day and pick up habits that serve the highest good for your appearance.

to be rich in ur interests -> become well versed as i said before in whatever it is that interests you. there are countless resources online that can help give you information and direction on going about ur interests.
