i'm taking the jlpt this sunday and had a stress dream last night abt it bc it sort of snuck up on me and now it's kind of a question of how much my actual japanese abilities will carry me (versus if i should've been cramming on flashcards this past month) but the listening portion is far simpler conversation than my coworkers and i have so. i think that maybe instead of "damn i should've been studying japanese" my perspective should just be "i speak japanese"
#a key part of the dream though was that i failed because i went on a motorcycle joyride during the 40 minute break and didn't make it back#in time for the listening section. the prompt for the listening section btw was to write an essay in english about kirishima eijirou#so i was like damn i would've totally passed#anyway hashtag classic maya but idk#i think i have a bit of a complex abt it bc i was studying for n1 (highest level) in college#but w the switch to online learning we stopped studying the stuff i really needed to work on (vocab and kanji)#and whatever kanji i knew how to write went out the window bc i never had to turn in written homework again#so i really let myself go there for a good two years but since moving last summer i've not only been having japanese conversations every da#i've also actually been studying kanji in my downtime at work#so i have picked up most of the study guide-type information just really slowly over time#i read a ton of manga in japanese lately and most shows on netflix here don't have eng subtitles but i'm fine without them 95% of the time#with the genre of shows i watch at least#so i've been thinking a lot lately abt what my end goal is w japanese studies because 'be able to consume all the art i want' feels like#a good place to be#i do think in the end the only thing between me and n1 is a lot of genuine hard work studying vocab and kanji and reading serious articles#so i feel like all 'sekkaku da shi' i've made it this far why would i just stop working at this point#those are just my thoughts though aaaa i know reading/vocab/grammar section is way more hit or miss#personal

Very amused by this brit who chimed in on the really good post about Americanization of the internet and standardization of English in online and offline spaces. Coming in to talk about how “YES America has done this to all of us! American culture and language has been unfairly pushed on ALL of us over here in Europe and—“ Shhh hush now. We’ll get to you next.

Lrb holy shit, so many very useful insights coming up all of a sudden
- I got reminded that illustrating my writing is actually crucial for me to keep going, so maybe elaborating illustrations will help me to fucking FINISH my fanfics for BB
- I got reminded that I actually used to have a very good skill, and many people loved my writing too, even if transition into completely different language environment was rocky, but language shift should not magically turn a good writer into a total wreck, right?
- I realized that writing a self-indulgent fanfic might actually be a good thing to start budging, it is good because it doesn't have to be published or even be of high quality, it is same as warmup doodles before "real" art! Lol how I haven't thought of that sooner
- I was reminded that character study(ish) fanfics were my forte, AND that the girls actually loved to peer into characters' heads and concepts with me! I could make overly analyzing characters into art...
- The "diary" format of the fanfic and variations are the most entertaining thing in the world to write. The stronger the personality of the diary's owner is, the better.
Seriously though, sometimes I forget how much I can really do, and it is just long self-reflection that helps with that :')

He Who Sings Against Gods - part two
[part one]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapter Two
The Visions
Finrod spent the next few days on the verge of reality and dreams.
He'd wake up but pass out again. Sometimes he'd shout. Sometimes he'd cry.
At times, he had the sensation that someone was standing next to him, and he could hear fragments of conversation.
'... too weak...'
'... him alone!'
The voice seemed familiar to him, painfully familiar - it contained the anger of Angarato, the heat of Aikanaro, the steel of Artanis, kidness of Artaresto - all melted into a golden alloy, and he remembered, remembered, remembered, but then he was falling again...
'... he is my SON!'
Son, son, son, his thoughts picked up, twisting him in a whirlwind of images. Findarato dug his fingers into the fabric of his shirt, trying to hold on, and inhaled hoarsely.
"You-" 
There was silence - now Finrod was sure it was silence. For a second, he heard only his own breath. Then, quick steps, the rustle of clothes.
"Get out." 
The sound of closed doors. Silence.
Someone sat down next to him.
"Arato," the voice was soft, almost whispered. "Arato, can you hear me?"
His thoughts were repeated like parrots. Arato, Arato, Arato.
"O...rodret..."
It had to be Orodret... he found him... escorted him out... Orodret... 'You shouldn't have risked yourself this much', he needs to tell this to him later - later... later...
A cool hand falls on his face, and Findarato inhales hoarsely.
He doesn't remember the wolf, he doesn't remember the crunch of bones, he doesn't remember the blood on his teeth, he doesn't remember Beren. All there is is a quiet room and Orodret's soft, gentle hands.
It was madness. Arafinve didn't explain it otherwise. Madness.
He thought he was crazy when he saw the body on the edge of a sunflower field. 
His son's body.
His dead son's body. 
Arafinve remembered exactly when Findarato - when his Ingoldo, his little Arato died. He remembered how his ears filled with rumble, how tears welled up in his eyes, how instead of breathing, only deaf sobs were heard, how visions seized him, showing a dark, stinking basement, and fur in his mouth, and lungs that tried to breathe in with a rattle, and the smell of blood, and screams, screams, screams.
That's why Arafinve decided he was crazy. That grief eventually took over his mind. That he lost.
However, Findarato was here, painfully alive, and his crying was horribly real, and his screams -
He didn't remember how he flew up to his son, how he touched his face with trembling hands. He tore off his cloak, wrapped Arato in it, and pressed him to his chest, still not believing, still not...
Findarato had a fever. He raved, often screaming; he trembled, crying.
Arafinve shouted as soon as he run into the castle, calling for the best healer - who appeared, dissatisfied with the late rise, but became serious when he saw the king, noticed tears and despair in his eyes - when he saw whom his king pressed to his chest, too frightened to let go of them.
And oh, Eru, at this point, the last thing he needed was sleep.
He works side by side with his king, and they curse together, weave spells together, tremble together every time thunder cracks outside the window and Findarato - and the prince - screams, plunging again into the swamp of fever.
On his body, from his neck, on his stomach, to his legs, stretches a terrible torn scar, and his back is covered with bumps of - Eru. What could it possibly be???
They do not notice how the morning is approaching. The rain does not stop. They are grateful to Ulmo for this, although they know that it will not last long. The news of the resurrection - the first since Feanor's mother's time - will reach Valar faster than Tilion will ascend to heaven. And then the visits will begin.
The "guests" indeed arrive very soon. The first Mayar come with a desire to help. They look sincere. Arafinve pauses for a second before shaking his head. They come again and again until Arafinwe throws leaky buckets in their hands and sends them to get some water. They understand the hint. 
Then,  the next day, others come. Mayar of Feanturi. There are two of them, and they say calmly that the prince has not been completely healed, that he needs Lorien's gardens, but Arafinve would rather die than allow his son to be taken away. They come the next day, but this time they are talking about the punishment that will await Findarato in the event of Arafinwe's disobedience; they play on his fears, on his weaknesses. The king says... no, orders them to wait until Artafinde recovers.
They agree.
However, they do not stop pushing him, and when Arafinve approaches his son's room, a whisper is heard above his ear... a whisper of an adviser, no, of a spy; he begs him not to anger Valar, begs him not to be stubborn, begs...
But then Findarato wakes up.
Arafinve sits down at his son's bed, calls him - quietly, gently... who would have thought that a moment ago he was ready to remind Valar that he is still the brother of Feanaro, and tell them Mayar to go f... mind their own business?
"O... rodret," Findarato whispers, squeezing his hand. Arafinwe does not recognize the name.
But how can he recognize the name of his youngest son if he has never heard Sindarin in his life?

Yes I use haha and keysmash too often instead of periods and then I use periods to add pauses that disrupt the flow of the writing. Don't talk to me.

Spanish Conjunctions: Small Words, Big Impact
A Bit of History The study of conjunctions dates back to ancient grammatical traditions, where scholars grappled with the intricacies of language structure. In the Middle Ages, grammarians like Donatus and Priscianus laid the groundwork for understanding conjunctions within the framework of Latin grammar, which influenced subsequent analyses of Romance languages, including Spanish. Today, as we…
