Try Morse Core. Women Love Morse Code.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan jingyi #lan sizhui #jin ling #a-qing #ouyang zizhen #nameless red disciple #Girls speak in a series of clicks and trills that even the most adept linguists have difficulty decoding #Thankfully this rhythmic language can be translated to music notes #communication via specific vibrations of coiled metal wire is possible!#but- Ah shucks the guy with the guqin has his hands full. And also bloodied.#We need to resort to secondary girl communication. Blinking slowly at her. If she blinks slowly back - you're in.#if she blinks rapidly that's a threat. Is she does not blink at all you are already dead.#btw: Girls eyes translate lines of contrast to these series of air flow disturbances to create language. So they *can* read what we write.#This has been your daily GirlFacts tidbit.#Jokes aside. I get that the point was she has no tongue to speak with but it really does just come off as:#“5 teen boys in a room with a teen girl and dropping the ball so hard on how to proceed”#This is why men give up and kiss each other btw. (OKAY IM DONE SPREADING MISINFORMATION (for today))

just a little reminder in light of hozier’s irish language verse:

Gaeilge = the correct, irish-language word for the irish language

Irish = the english-language word for the irish language

Gaelic = an english-language word that is derived from gaeilge.

while the use of the word “Gaelic” to describe our language is technically not incorrect, the vast majority of irish people call our language Gaeilge

so anyway i hope everyone enjoyed hozier’s verse AS GAEILGE and that we get many more irish songs in future!

#and also - the garlic jokes aren’t funny :)#hozier #ireland #any irish people with a better grasp of linguistics PLEASE correct me if i have any inaccurate info

image description applying to all images: pictures of a small (a7) booklet featuring two birds, one green and one orange, talking to eachother, photographed in front of some plants and garden tiles. end ID.

i'd already made some art of this post by @jennythebot but the image it conjured in my mind was so delightful to me i decided to make a whole zine. this is my first printed zine! new skill unlocked!

in conclusion:

birds appreciate my tiny photographs! why is nobody talking about this?
