Today in "LP fell into a random research hole" -
Why do we use the possessive "'s"?
Is it a contraction? If so, what of?
Oh neat, the one that puts the apostrophe at the end of an existing S has a name. Sometimes.
"Saxon genitive." Hm. What the fuck is a genitive.
"Grammatical construction used to express a relation between two nouns such as the possession of one by another." Okay so basically what it said on the tin lol.
So this is apparently Old English in origin, but why.
Oh heyyyyyy found it. I think.
An inflectional suffix what in the Kentucky fried fuck is that lmao
Me with my whole ass English degree: I have never seen these words before in my life.
"A suffix that changes the grammatical properties of the root word it's attached to." Excuse me what.
... OH. Plurals, verb tense, and degree. That... makes sense.
[tfw you forget that grammar is a broad term]
Ohhhh interesting it used to be an "es" suffix for... [squint] whatever the fuck a declension noun is.
... This some Latin shit.
Declension = inflection of nouns, so therefore relates to the inflectional suffix mentioned above.
This is a lot, so uh
Makes sense for my purposes.
Used to only use "es" for strong declension nouns (idk why they were strong but w/e not today satan.)
Was eventually used for all nouns, but in many cases the E fell silent.
French printers apparently used an apostrophe in place of the letter E? And the English just. Adopted this practice? And used it for not only possessive but plural forms
Because the plurals used the "as" suffix
My brother in christ are you trying to tell me that the sentence "I visited several church's" was actually canon for a brief period in time
That hurt to write.
Okay so apparently Middle English kind of got its shit together and changed the "as" words to "es" in the world's weirdest twist, and extended it to all plural and not just the super cool strong declensions.
There was a 40 year period in which English speakers were collectively smoking crack and spelled the possessive as "his." As in "James his cloak." Which like FAIR but also I hate it.
-- looping back around to this I don't know how many weeks later, and I've completely forgotten why I fell down this hole (random intrusive thought probably) but man this was fun to read back on in my drafts so HERE YOU GO.

Sevika, please look at me like this...
This is literally the only Arcane screenshot I took myself, because it IS my fav. I stare at it entirely too often. But it's also my primary inspo as I write my Werewolf!Sevika fic A Shimmer in the Night (you know, the 'oneshot' I wrote for 'Halloween' and haven't updated in like over 2 months...) Which brings me to a PSA for those of you following it...
Next chapter should finally be coming this Friday! Was supposed to be the last chapter, but surprise! It's not! Will have one more after this. But, uhhh... make sure you check the tags when I post. Especially when the last chapter drops. It's gonna be F I L T H Y. Sorry, and you're welcome.

we love lgbtq+ inclusivity in media (unless it's a bi/pan person). we enjoy different representations of love (unless it's a bi/pan person). sexual orientation is a spectrum (unless it's a bi/pan person). gender expression is fluid and has nothing to do with someone's sexual attraction preferences (unless it's a bi/pan person). low-grade jokes about sexual identities are bad (unless it's a bi/pan person)
#ty alandor for prompting this#i identify as a helicopter is bad but have you considered bi ppl arent real#if i see one more person telling me astarion is gay. actually. and that karlach is a raging lesbian. actually.#thoughts#more like rambles

I’m so so excited for OBX 4! Can’t wait to see how the story goes!! I was thinking, OBX diving into the Blackbeard chapter must mean there’s another 2/3 seasons planned, I just don’t see why/ how they would wrap it up in 1. I need more seasons of jiara aged up 👀 and the pogues, I’m so intrigued how it’s going to go!
Have you got any thoughts? Or wants? Jiara and the plot?
AHHH ME TOO!!!!
i haven't given super specific wants a lot of thought, because i am absolutely going to be wrong lmao, but in broad terms, i'm hoping for a focus on the pogue relationships/friendships, and to explore some of the different pairings we haven't really seen (sarah/jj, cleo/kie, etc). i would love to see rafe take over as the main baddie, because i think that will lead to some interesting storylines for the characters, and i also think drew will really own that role. i do think the whole blackbeard chapter has a lot of potential for interesting storytelling that is more local to the outer banks, which i'm pumped for!
i'm also really looking forward to seeing the pogues aged up. the time jump was a bit of a jump scare at first, i will admit, and i am still disappointed that we're going to miss early relationship jiara, but i'm hopeful we'll get some good bits through flashbacks, and i am very excited that they're going to have more freedom as adults.
and in terms of jiara, i kind of want them to be the stable relationship of the show, y'know? like they're together and that's just how it is. casual touches in the background of scenes, sharing a look that says more than words, just living their life together, without the drama like jarah b. i would love for them to explore the effects of kie's struggles with her parents from last season (despite them being all happy at the ceremony there's got to be more going on there right??) and also for jj to have an actual arc of his own. i think there's some good potential, if they do bring luke back, for that to be a cause of some friction between jiara too.
after the little sneak peek from that netflix thing, i'm also feeling pretty good about jiara living together (and at the maybank house no less?? which i didn't expect). jj maybank isn't decorating the mantle with candles, imo! but the idea of jj fixing up his childhood house into a home for them to share makes me all kinds of emotional. maybe that's even going to be the new chateau/pogue hangout?
okay i have rambled on for FAR too long, if you're still reading what are you hoping for in season 4? i would love to hear your thoughts!

Pomegranates being compared to cannibalism nowadays is kind of interesting because I will always see them as in reference to the Hades and Persephone story so to me a pomegranate symbolizes a last stitch effort to make someone stay with you out of loneliness for no reason. Forcing someone who was already gonna stay to stay out of fear they wouldn’t
So I’ve been a tad confused by the pomegranate TikTok’s lol

I realized that I'm coming up on 10 years since I cut my mother out of my life. I was 24 years old when I did that, practically a baby. I'm 34 now and my life is completely different. A life I have worked so hard to build for myself and even though I'm not doing okay right now, it's far better, brighter, and more amazing than it was 10 years ago
Behind the cut: just me rambling positively about what I have made of myself
I went no contact towards the end of January 2014. I didn't have a driver's license, I relied on my friends to drive me from time to time. I walked everywhere or took one of the few buses my small city had. I was making $11 an hour and struggling to get by, luckily rent was only $256 for an old townhouse that had no insulation and freezing in the winter. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life back then. I was just starting to see the trauma and start that long journey to healing. I was depressed, constantly anxious as my baseline, I was so lost and confused and for the first time, I had true autonomy and choice but no idea what to do now that the strings were snipped.
That year I got into a grad program, I moved back to my hometown where the university was. In those 10 years I have gotten my master's degree, I got to study abroad like I had always dreamed of in Hong Kong. I learned to drive and got a car. I got to travel both solo and with friends across the country and the world. I fell in love a few times and even though it didn't work out those few times, I cherish the time I had with them and all that they had given me.
I got a job at a prestigious university in my field, studying to become a foreign service officer. I got to plan and put on speaker events on campus, my greatest one was a conference in Shanghai on the subject of environmental sustainability in Asia. I walked away after two years when I realized this wasn't the life for me. I wasn't happy and thriving and ended up in the hospital at one point. Cause, you know, fuck the government.
In those 10 years, I got to volunteer with the local rabbit rescue as a bunny butler and the rabbit taxi service driving rabbits across the state as they journey across multiple states to their new home. I got into the tech industry and have bounced around from a few companies, but found my passion in helping people.
I have my own apartment now, making a decent enough wage, enough for me to live on, save some, and give some to the community when I can. I like to commission artists to draw Zuko or Zukka holding a rabbit(s). I know what it's like to struggle, to not have food or rent money, and so I made it part of my life to give my time, knowledge, comfort, resources, money, whatever, whenever I can. Because that's all I want, to be the person I wish I had when I was younger. And that includes the present me too, I work on being gentle with myself, care for myself now, advocate for myself.
In those 10 years, I have gotten to adopt a few rabbits. I have three now and they are the sweetest assholes. Toffee is my sweet boy, he's blind now, but he's as happy as he's ever been. He loves his giant boyfriend who's 3x his size. Kiwi is my troublemaker and cuddle bun who will let me know I'm late to dinner time. Dusty is my little diva, Mr. Prissy Paws as I like to call him. He's here to look cute and make me laugh when his grumpy butt gets happy during dinner time and he does his happy dance.
I have gotten to learn about myself in those 10 years. I got to realize my gender after one too many times looking at Sokka art and being like hmmm, why do I want to be him??? I started drawing around that time and wanted to make a comic about me, but wanted me to be a boy. Then my himbo brain made the connection as I was driving to my sister's house for new years eve. I learned that I wasn't a fuck up for an adult and that really I just had ADHD this whole time.
I got to know so many amazing and beautiful people and learn who loved me back. I got to heal so much and even though I think there's still plenty left to heal, I have made it so far. I have reconnected with my aunt and uncle, learned the family lore, I became the cool fun uncle to my sister's kids.
My body is looking more and more how I want it and I hate it less now. My arms are slowly becoming covered in beautiful tattoos, my hair is growing out, I'm going to the gym to get stronger (so I can outrun the cops and punch n*zis in the next county over and to be able to pick up and carry Kiwi, he's heavy as fuck).
I learned to draw and be creative, something I had always struggled with because I wasn't good enough and wasn't perfect the first time. But I kept with it cause it brought me joy and peace while I drew and it brought me joy to share it with others.
And even though I'm not doing okay right now and had gone to a behavioral health urgent care recently, I'm sitting here reflecting and looking behind me to see how far I have come. How many mountains I climbed, how many steps I have taken, how long ten years have been. I was just 24 when I decided I wanted to make a change and now I'm 34, a transformed man, barely recognizable from the young woman I was.
If you made it this far, thank you 💜

I'm gonna be real I just want to see Kevin n Bob make out so bad they don't even get a proper ship name like everyone else seems to (I propose sweetmeat ((or maybe candymeat? Or meatcandy? Idk if they actually do have one pleasssseee tell me thank youu :3 )) but if somehow anyone else finds this uh suggest stuff please if you want lol)
Pork belly burnt ends changed my brain chemistry so bad I ship these two so hard now lord save me.
I get having angsty fics of them is really the only canon-ish way to ship them but does anyone else have a super unconnected very ooc fluff au for them or is that just me😭😭😭 Bob likes candy idk all I'm saying is you can do strangers to friends to lovers just by having him go to the candy club a lot (I think I read a fanfic like this once but I can't find it for the life of me)
Speaking of sm in general I need to get caught up w the lore so bad😭😭 I've been putting off watching ep 6 because erm. Idk honestly I don't have an excuse sobs

Just had an entire (one-sided) conversation with the dog that standing, staring morosley out the back door will neither warm the outside world, nor stop it snowing. It only confuses the two-legged people into thinking you want to go out in the blizzard.
Which he does not. My dog is not meant for Canadian winters.
Now he's waiting for me to turn the heated blanket back on.

I'm curious. what do you like so much about Koumei?
Fuck if i knew 😂
Idek remember how it happened, really.
I think I was looking forward to seeing him because i knew he's Hiro's brother, and then I heard that VOICE (man, that voice was NOT what I expected), saw the bickering with Kansuke, him solving the case BEFORE CONAN, and idk? I liked him instantly.
Didn't think I'd love that stupid little mustache either.
Idk where the obsession came from, it probably helped that he was easy to draw for me, unlike my other faves from the show (except his brother)?
I'm sure the Actors AU RP i have with my friends also helped fuel the obsession.
But yeah, generally, I just like his voice, how almost scary intelligent and perceptive he is, I'm a sucker for tragic backstories (AND HOH BOY, does he deliver), I love the relationship with Kansuke (and by now with Yui as well), him just throwing himself into... situations where he's endangering his life and career.... CAN WE GET THE NAGANO GUNMA EPISODE ALREADY 😭
Also, can we get more of him just actually reacting to his traumas, thanks

Now I really want to draw grunge!Jacob in his youth...

I used to be able to read like crazy growing up (for example, I think I read the entire HP series in a week to catch up with my friends who'd already read it, and I was once given the joke-award of 'Most Likely To Read a Book While The Boat Sinks' by a teacher), but once I hit about my second or third year of college, I got to the point where my ADHD really outweighed my ability to read consistently and I fell out of it. I still loved books, but would maybe get through one or two a year, and most of my reading became online--fanfic and original fic on AO3 and here on tumblr mostly. Not that that doesn't count as real reading, it does, and I'm talking 100,000s of words consumed, but it doesn't feel the same as holding the physical book in my hands.
But I really want to get back into it, so I've been working on different strategies and finding new ways to help me read. Not pressuring myself to read a lot at one time has been good, I'm trying to measure my progress in chapters versus pages. Timers and background music don't work, but what I've found does work is using 2 bookmarks--one at the start of the chapter and to mark my place, and a second one at the end of the chapter, so I can physically see the pages left. It's like a countdown, that second bookmark is my goal. And then usually, when I reach it, I find that I'm not ready to finish yet and I move it to the end of the next chapter.
Also varying what I'm reading!
I read almost exclusively sci-fi and fantasy growing up, which I love but it really burnt me out on it and I find that I struggle to read them now, especially high fantasy and hard sci-fi; I have a metric shit-ton of SFF published in the last few years I desperately want to read but can't get into.
So I'm exploring different genres--my first read of the year was The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones, which is supernatural/slasher horror, and the second was Archivist Wasp by Nicole Kornher-Stace, a YA post-apocalyptic SFF I've had for years. Last year, I found that I can really blow through romance and romcoms I enjoy (like Katee Roberts' Dark Olympus series and Chef's Kiss by TJ Alexander respectively, DO NOT mistake the Dark Olympus books for romcoms lmao), and I got through several holiday-themed romcoms near the end of the year. And I read a lot of poetry and non-fiction (mostly as research for ADHD Witch WIP, but it counts!) through my local library.
I'm still not consuming books at the lightning speed I did growing up, but I'm reading more than I have in a long time, and that's progress! I'm really proud of myself!
I want to get through some of the books I own but never read, so I think next up will be The Annual Migration of Clouds (following up post-apocalyptic sci-fi with more post-apocalyptic sci-fi lol) and then after that, I'm not sure yet. The important part is: No pressure!
#personal#reading#adhd#long post#rant#kinda#more like rambles#gotta outsmart my brain#i'm working through some internalized ableism about my adhd and how it impacts my ability to read#this part really kicked in after i started T as an unexpected side effect--my attention span got worse but my inattention got better#before T my inattention and emotional regulation was much worse but my ability to focus on reading was a lot better

Kaeya & Venti’s Relationship
I both love and hate that Kaeya and Venti don’t have voice lines about each other.
They interacted in Windblume in the weirdest and most tense-filled interaction (my interpretation) I’ve seen yet, and Kaeya was not a part of the Dvalin quest, so he does not have confirmation (at least from Venti’s mouth) that Venti is Barbatos.
On top of that, we don’t have confirmation if Kaeya even suspects Venti as anything. Perhaps he does, because of his odd request to be a part of a poetry class with Venti and his even odder use of hilichurl to say something insulting (likely, if I understand this right) intentionally. If he didn’t look it up just for this poem, then he knows the language because of his connection to Khaenri’ah. (Learned on his own or shares the curse—which he should from my understanding of my recent completion of the Chasm.)
Now if the poem was just his way to get out some pent-up emotions or if he’s sending a warning to Venti, there’s no confirmation as of yet. And Venti, as always, seems to hide his true feelings and thoughts.
I so badly want to know if Venti knows Kaeya’s origin and how he feels about Kaeya being a Mondstadt citizen. And I want to know if Venti has grown on Kaeya at all, if Kaeya would side more with the Abyss sibling or has Dain’s more neutral stance.
Cannot wait for Mondstadt characters in general to deeply get back into the lore of Genshin.
Personally, I like the thought of the gods being different from how they are now, like very different, and that Celestia is more twisted than simply being a place, but also that Khaenri’ah isn’t completely innocent in its part of history, so there will be unfavorable truths about both sides revealed later on.
Additionally, I wonder if Khaenri’ah descendants are found, so far, only in Mondstadt because of Venti’s history of being an “absent” god, so it feels safer to join Mondstadt over Inazuma or Liyue because of their more hands-on gods.
Or, I wonder if there could be another explanation that has to do with Venti’s actions, or lack of action, in the past, specifically in regards to Khaenri’ah.
So many possibilities with these two. I constantly forget the timeline as well, so I forget Kaeya isn’t 500 years old and may not even have as strong of a connection or devotion to Khaenri’ah anymore.
But he still seems very shady at times, like he knows something, so I’m excited to see where that goes.

the blanket self-victimization that exists only on tumblr is a particular brand of performative activism unforeseen by the forces of political discourse. the bible could predict the end of the world, but nothing could have prepared god to face the ways in which the tumblr user that has not seen daylight in 985 days would bully people for having the most normal opinions in the world. how jesus would weep if he knew he died so that self-proclaimed progressives could abuse their mental health issues to justify their shitty behavior towards other, real life people over fictional characters.
