A gritty modern thriller about a woman trying desperately – perhaps a bit unhinged by worry – to get her teenage daughter out of a cult whose leader killed her husband

And then you realize partway through that it’s a retelling of The Magic Flute

#the magic flute #opera #note that I have not actually seen the operating question. I read the synopsis on Wikipedia just now #and like. Holy values dissonance Batman #*opera in question

Do you think one could attain decent-ish ability to read Japanese just by studying kanji? Specifically asking because the kanji learnin' service "wanikani" is the single Japanese resource that works best with my brain, but then there are separate resources for grammar and vocab and and and.....

You will get REAAAALLLLLYYY far knowing only the kanji but you're going to have to know hiragana and katakana at some point too. Tofugu, the company that did Wanikani, has two mnemonics-based guides for the kana that are basically Wanikani Lite. They're how I learned the kana and I swear by them.

Here's hiragana: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/

And katakana: https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-katakana/

Hiragana are especially vital to learning kanji; you won't be able to use 99% of Japanese-English dictionaries without them. BUT they're pretty easy and the rules for using them are consistent. You won't have to remember any irregular exceptions for any of them.

I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard really good things about the Crystal Hunters manga series as a fun/low stress way to learning Japanese vocab and grammar. It eases the reader into new concepts and then repeats them throughout the chapter so you remember them. There are free vocab and study guides/lists for each chapter too. Might be worth checking out once you get some kanji and the kana under your belt? The first book is also free.

Official site: https://crystalhuntersmanga.com/

Good luck!!

#asks #Japanese takes like a bajillion hours forever to learn because of the 2200+ kanji lol...........#But it's sooooo consistent grammatically and with the spelling. I love it #Kinda spoiled me tbh. I look at English now and I'm like #'Why can't you be more like this. Why are you such a mess. Get your act together'#And then there's Korean's hangul writing system. It's SO BEAUTIFUL. Actual marvel of linguist engineering #The Japanese lexicon is also a lot smaller than English's too. Which is both a blessing and a curse #Less words = quicker to learn. BUUUUUTTTT less words that mesh well with English. Translation is hard!!!#Holy fuck. Ok so Wikipedia says that the English language has 755`865 words as recorded by Wiktionary #and Japanese has 500`000 according to Nihon Kokugo Daijiten #BUT THEN KOREAN. ACCORDING TO ONLINE DICTIONARY URIMALSAEM (open source dictionary) HAS 1`149`538 WORDS #The biggest lexicon is Tamil's with 1`516`952 unique headwords as recorded by online dictionary Sorkuvai #That's absolutely nuts #I got massively distracted.

@tundratoad fuck yeah I can

presenting my theory that the life of Joan of Arc can be aptly told through Florence and the Machine lyrics

I don't know how well this will be conveyed through text but just listen to the playlist and think about it. I swear I'm onto something here

(I'll put the other presentation in a separate post)

#no but it works so well! imagine it as a hamilton-esque musical #every person I've told this to has been like 'oh so this is some popular internet theory that you picked up from reddit or something?'#no dude I just went to catholic school and will find connections between literally anything #but honestly why has no one else thought of this. she has sooo many motifs about saints and kings and war and holy visions and fire #florence and the machine #florence welch #joan of arc #history #sorry if any of the history notes aren't accurate. it's a very complex history with a lot of scholarship and I'm just a gal with wikipedia

I just finished my (???) rewatch of season 1 and I’m restarting season 4 and I genuinely think I have developed a narrative that explains the supernatural elements and it started because I WAS GOING THROUGH MY BOOKSHELF TODAY FOR INSPO TO WRITE THIS FUCKING FIC AND I OPENED A BOOK I HAVE NEVER READ— WHICH I BOUGHT IN A CREEPY SECOND HAND STORE YEARS AGO BTW— AND UPON SKIMMING I OPENED TO A PAGE WITH A HORNED GOD

AND THEN I STARTED RESEARCHING AND I SWEAR TO GOD I HAVE A THEORY I SWEAR TO GOD IM ON SOME SHIT RIGHT NOW IM PROCESSING BY SPEWING NONSENSE AT MY FRIEND BUT I SWEAR ITS GONNA MAKE SENSE

#I’m gonna have to consult the academically reviewed resources #Reddit and Wikipedia #but I don’t think anyone has threaded the theory to completion AND IM FLOSSING MY FUCKING TEETH WITH IT #RIGHT NEEEEOOOOW #holy fuck holy fuck once I get this fully formed im going to create the most incomprehensible Reddit post #fuck fuck fuck #rust cohle #true detective season 1 #true detective season 4 #I see everything #I SUHWEAAAR IM ONTO SOMETHING MAJOR #JUST GIMME ANOTHER WEEK CAPTAIN #mentally I’m a chain smoking detective that’s stabbing my thumb meat on a push pin #FUCKKKK #I can’t wait to get downvoted #I can’t wait for a 43 year old divorced father to tell me I’m a moron #trash bin tag

if you can type 150 wpm, want to be paid far lower than minimum wage, and enjoy being privy to government secrets, try transcription!

#i heard some wild shit when i was a transcriptionist.#like actual high level government meetings and stuff #my favorite thing i ever transcribed was a 45 minute podcast about an obscure blood disorder #podcasts are the holy grail of transcription work #a bunch of people had turned that job down because it required highly technical phrasing #your loss!! i’ll wikipedia some medical terms to be able to do a job with clear professional audio

I’ve seen a number of posts lately referring to holi as “a south asian holiday” and it is AGGRAVATING because no!! no it’s not!!!

it has its roots in hinduism and yeah, it’s celebrated by other dharmic religions other than hinduism as well, but that does NOT mean it’s south asian!!

and it always stems from a place of ignorance or erasure. always always always. either from people being unaware (which. wikipedia exists fam. they’ve got it right. go look it up. I’m so tired of excusing ignorance too, it’s literally in the first sentence of the article) or from people trying to erase the hindu origins of the festival. hell I’ve seen it happen to diwali too and guess what!! SAME SITUATION!!

you wouldn’t call eid anything other than a muslim holiday, you wouldn’t call easter anything other than a christian holiday, you wouldn’t call yom kippur anything other than a jewish holiday.

treat us the same way. let us have our holidays.

#holi #hinduism #hindu #holi2024 #dharmic #dharmic religions #I’ll be honest I don’t know much about other dharmic religions in relation to who celebrates what #I just know that some people do!!#which is so valid #brb omw to wikipedia to learn more myself #but if anyone else wants to chime in please do

Everyone's talking about Wish right now.... The only thing I can say about WISH.......let's hope it's like a Frozen 1 type thing. Where the trailers were ABSOLUTE ASS but then the film turned out really good. TT0TT

I mean.....there is a difference between the two. While the west got weird trailers that didn't matter for Frozen (Olaf vs Sven carrot thing), JPN and other countries got trailers that actually showcased the plot and drama in an interesting way.... And Wish.....well...... Wish at least gives us a villain and a part of an argument.....and I can't see that argument leading anywhere.....great tbh. So maybe not the best comparisons but let's hope for the Frozen 1 vibe!

Anyway I'm not liking what I'm seeing so far, but I'm hoping its better than the ass disaster Frozen 2 and Ralph 2 were. ;w;

#silly talks #disney #WISH #frozen #as frozen's first fan and the one that didn't care the trailers were ass......my heart goes out to Wish fans rn kldjsafkljsaf #'silly that's pretty bold of you to consider yourself THE FIRST frozen fan-" i drove that damn bandwagon y'all just jumped on later #no really around 2009-2010 i remember looking at the Snow Queen disney page wikipedia page to see if it finally got taken off of hiatus she #*off the hiatus shelf #i remember the damn day the announced Dinsey would take a crack a the Snow Queen adaptation again #then when they announced Kristen Bell for a character (super estatic cause i wanted to hear her singing even more after watching Veronica m #*after watching veronica mars)#The Snow Queen has been a fav fairy tale of mine since i was a baby so yeah I was excited to say the least TT0TT #and yeah 5 seconds into the movie (the day it released mind you! yes I was there I remember how dead the theater was) i was like 'I love it #I ended the movie and wanted to go back in too i loved it that much #safe to say I was BLOWN AWAY by how much OTHERS loved it esp after everyone was bitching abt it leading up to that film TT0TT #anyway love frozen 1 it's my fav #hate frozen 2 it's hot garbage I never felt more lied to by trailers than this movie holy shit #i'm like 8 rants away from writing a complete dissertation on how Frozen 2 completely misunderstood Frozen 1 in it's entirety #(note: I dont think F1 is perfect nor do I think it's a masterpiece I just happen to love it a lot uwu)#anyway I hope wish has a similar thing (sleeper hit release part....not a shitty sequel part)

excuse me for this post but i have been waiting in the airport all afternoon after a 6 hour flight and it's wearing on me. so speaking of the Holy Prepuce i think it's interesting to consider the existence of such a relic because that would ostensibly be the only physical artifact of jesus's body left after he ascended, so it makes sense that it would attract devotees despite being a foreskin. and of course there's the implications of that being the only body part left to us. you could theoretically touch the actual body of christ (eucharist aside) but only his dick. idk i'm just saying i can empathize with catherine of siena

#i know there are other relics (allegedly) like the cross and nails etc but i mean of his actual body #anyway its too bad because according to wikipedia it is unclear whether any of the purported Holy Prepuces still exist 😔#<- sentences i never anticipated writing #aaand POAST #me

Yep, Maia Arson Crimew, the person who brought us the no fly list and the brain-tickling phrase “holy fucking bingle”, is also a prodigious creator of tracks. This is my favourite, with the next probably being this one.

What a wonderful world we live in...

Oh, and there’s a Wikipedia article, because of course there is. Turns out it’s famous!
