These headcanons are actually so random but they are fun so

Bendy first language isn't English, it's actually latin. He has NO idea how he learned it, he just knows it. and whenever he hears a demon speak it he gets super excited because FINALLY someone who speaks the same language as him, well, other than English.

THOUGH, since he can speak Latin like every demon he..feels appreciated because of it. Because every demon just always says that they finally have something in common and actually sounds like a demon, just because of him knowing latin.

sometimes, whenever he remembers Felix's talent, he tries to communicate with the cat in latin, but all he gets is gasps and confused looks.

But the cat himself? Looks at the demon like he just said he found the biggest secret ever, but then he replies!!

Now everyone just grew used to it. Well- Boris, Holly and Felix. The rest just keep forgetting.

He swears holly keeps making him translate phrases in Latin like he's a translator...he doesn't mind though, it's fun. Better than being stuck in a room struggling to read a book in a language he doesn't understand too well.

Not me who keeps rambling in the tags

the fact that in the first moving poster, we have Penelope angry and upset at Colin, closed off, pulling into herself, and he is yearning for her and confused, just wanting to reach out and touch her and knowing he can't do so because of the walls between them, so he grabs his own wrist, and he holds back, and they're both more on edge for it

and in the second, we have him breaking that barrier to gently trace along the edge of her neckline, softly whispering over her skin, and she reaches up to hold him in place, as though to say 'stay, don't pull away', melting into him as he leans into her, and he even lifts his fingers to wrap around hers as she holds on because the distance they had wasn't serving either of them positively. almost as if, only when they're together, anchored into one another, can they fully open up

one might even say they

unfurl

like a flower in bloom

#polin #penelope featherington #colin bridgerton #bridgerton #even the difference in their body language #bridgerton season 3 #tense and coiled in the first and then open and vulnerable in the second #they spent the first not on the same page #penelope looks at him as he doesn't notice and then colin looks at her as she PRETENDS not to notice #but then in this one they look at each other and they are finally in tune #idk man i'm just emotional about it #they're better when they're together #'girl it's not that deep' IT IS DEEP TO ME!!!!#it's deep if i wanna make it deep!!!!!#i knew i promised i would go on hiatus but consider the following: i lied

#Doodles #UT #Handplates #Sans #Papyrus #Asgore #Always with memories/lack of memories being distressing! How memories shape action interests me quite a lot #Papyrus and Sans both have the ''this has been on me since forever so it's normal'' outlook on the plates #Defensive when other people get concerned about their lack of concern haha <3 #But what if ♪#Honestly probably could be set anywhere but I wanted Papyrus to be worried for Sans' safety and not fully know why <3 #Lots of very I don't know why I know this but I'm not happy about it haha #Can you tell I didn't use references for this from Asgore's outfit and the boys being on the opposite sides lol #It was very fun to draw them being carried haha ♥ Asgore's gigantic hands #Teeny tiny babies even still haha #In case it's unclear - Sans is looking at Asgore's text in the second panel and putting two and two together about his hand plate #That was a point of curiousity for me while I was reading :0 All the other text Gaster uses to communicate is WingDings!#All the papers he has the boys do and obviously his native font to speak haha #Wondered briefly if it was perhaps that distancing thing I mentioned a bit back in reference to ZEX actually haha #Like swearing in a different language - a way to not claim the action as his own in some small sense #Or perhaps as reference to their fonts being in that alphabet? I wonder!#I love their little interactions in how they look out for each other even in small ways <3 #Papyrus concerned of course! Falling is dangerous! It'll be more obvious why later but this is emotionally a very strong and real feeling!#And Sans wants to do anything he can to not make his brother sad ♥#It'll all turn out okay you two 💕

Actually interesting tidbit re: your languages comic! In game it’s implied that Kazuichi can speak/read English bc he reads a sign in English to Hajime! Although I always kind of just imagined he picked it up from watching TV/Movies and isn’t super fluent

Yeah lots of ppl pointed that out and admittedly I plain forgot. But i do think it makes sense that he taught himself through manuals and the internet, so he's better at reading it than most, but when it comes to listening to (the hurried, limp, molasses-like American) English that's where he fumbles. Seeing the words makes sense, hearing eybuddyowyadowein is another. Also being HoH post-game doesnt help.

#not an art #Listen. I'm very fluent in English it's my second language. But the way you Speak vs Write is fuckinfg worlds apart okay #I come from a very straight-forward pronunciation language (like japanese!) and its SO different.#Same with Spanish just for the pure Speed of it. Can I guesstimate some spanish written word? Yea! Can I HEAR shit? No.

Tamaas (eventually Tamara)

Addressed as: Madam* (she/her)

Age: 23

Height: 5’0”

Occupation:

Main Skills: Shadowy, Watchful

Prominent Quirks: Melancholy

Closest to: The Urchins

*it's a form of address that feels strange compared to its Varchaasi equivalent, but she no longer has any claim to that title.

Backstory below the cut:

She never questioned her life, much like she never questioned her love for Mihir and her native Varchas. One rarely has to when all is well and life is easy.

She doesn’t understand why her brother did not share this contentedness. Fraternal twins, they were ever-close, sharing everything, but his interest in the Jewel-Turbaned Youth and his fanciful club was something that she simply could not get her mind around. The rest of the family paid it no mind—they’re harmless anyway. Let him have his fun.

She doesn’t know what it was that stopped her from retiring to bed that one fateful evening, a nagging in the back of her head that something was off. When she stepped back out into the yellow evening lamplight, a familiar shape slipping down the streets confirmed her intuition. Her brother made it as far as the Mirrored Gate before she clamped her hand around his wrist. Was he mirror-mad? What could he possibly be thinking? Who would want to leave the light, and to set sail on a steamer with a Tamaas captain he’d only met that morning? She’d argued with him, begging him to see sense, until they were both shouting. Deep in their quarrel, she’d barely noticed the shape in the mirror pressed up against his back until it was too late. It struck and he screamed, jerking to the side. Hand still latched around his arm, she slipped in turn, down the slope beyond the gate and both of their lives ended in an instant.

She’d later piece together what had happened from The Sympathetic Captain, most of her memories a blur, and Mihir knows, she’d had enough time on that ship to play her retelling back in her head in endless combinations. Before her brother had even met the ground, before his head had hit stone and his heart had stopped beating, he was Tamaas. As was she, not a fraction of a second later. The Captain had heard the commotion and was not far from the bottom of the cliff. She had insisted that the Captain take them both, that no one in the city would help them anymore. She had to get him to the next port where he could recover.

How his body had disappeared a day later, on a ship miles from the coast, was not one the Captain could answer, no matter how much she raged, how many objects in the cabin she smashed in her fugue. The Captain could only offer a sympathetic ear and a cup of tea.

When the ship finally docked in London she disappeared into the darkness, too ashamed of her grief to say goodbye. Her life was over, but somehow she would have to keep living, Tamaas or otherwise.

#my art #anyway new blorbo just dropped #tamara #also very normal about the sun #but differently #i haven't gotten there yet but she's going to meet ockham very soon #and are about to have a great time first overcoming the language barrier #and then the everything else #she initially thought ockham was mirror-mad #but as soon as they could understand each other well enough to learn hishertheir actual deal you bet she nearly had an aneurysm #coming from a culture where you fear what lurks in the Is-Not #only to become closest to a creature of the Is-Not #specifically courting the creatures she fears the most #ockham was also the one to ask her name and when she said she was simply tamaas #ockham said absolutely not try again and she eventually landed on tamara #initially it was a reminder of what she lost #but eventually simply was her name #there are also a lot of my notes on what i imagine varchaasi fashion looks like in that second image #based on a lot of older SE Asian clothing specifically cambodian #but with the added touch of living in perpetual summer heat and humidity #and a culture that does not do shadows #and doesn't have to deal with UV radiation #but if anyone wants to join me on the non-London fashion train #please talk to me i love this kind of worldbuilding

time to mute the pope post. what on earth did I wake up to

#also only vaguely related but #u can lowkey tell when someone is monolingual bc they completely miss the point #that there's a difference between fluency in a second language and knowing regional slang that's relatively niche. and that's why it's funny #elle.txt

I love love love that the ccs will be forced to use the translator in order to communicate with the new ccs joining qsmp because that’s what it’s there for!!!!! it’s a translator!!! use it to translate, even if both of you are able to speak the same language!

I don’t see enough people use the translator, especially when the ccs are both able to speak (usually) english, and it’s still great that they can speak easier if they speak the same language, but the language barrier is one of the causes for the creation of the qsmp! Let the language barrier be a barrier in the first place, and let the translator do the work it was meant to do!

Let people who physically can’t speak the same language interact! It’s part of what makes qsmp qsmp, and even though it has impacted hugely just from adding people who generally create content and talk in different languages, I do think it somewhat lacks in the people speaking different languages category, because while that is true, it is also somewhat untrue in that all of the ccs can speak one of the same language (usually english), even if they’re not a natural at it!

Now, that’s not a bad thing at all! But, it does blur the speaking different languages problem that was meant to occur in qsmp. They speak different languages! Let them speak whatever language they want and let the translator do the work! Again, that is what it is there for! It is a translator! (I’m looking at you twitter)

And even if it takes a million repeats of the same sentence for someone to finally get what another person is trying to say, a hundred fuck-ups of the translation or a thousand language barrier/cultural miscommunications, again, qsmp was made for this to happen! It was made so people who come from different backgrounds and are usually unable to interact because of cultural/language barriers can interact, whether it start out negative or positive!

And I trust them (the ccs and fans) to communicate if controversy/confusion happens culturally and language-wise, and (hopefully) for the fans to not turn anything minor** into a huge drama, so I am extremely excited to see the ccs be forced into using the translator!

#I love love love when people use the translator so much like YOU CAN SPEAK DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND STILL UNDERSTAND EACHOTHER #I just find it so fucking cool as someone who can only speak english fluently #qsmp #qsmp 2024 #I love hearing people talk in their native langauges even if I don’t understand shit it’s like woah you can speak and understand this whole #vocabulary without a second thought and I can’t??? Speak to me more in hopes that I will someday because I WANT TO #I want to learn languages so bad but I am caught between two to learn first because i cannot speak my own secondary language that more than #50% of my relatives CAN so I’m like I should learn that first but also spanish french and portuguese is RIGHT THERE and the one I should #learn first is so much harder to learn because of accessibility to lessons and just people who can teach it in general and also school lol #I’m not gonna say the language because I’m 90% sure nobody will know what it is but it is a tonal language which makes it much harder to #learn

Being second generation half Russian in Canada is like a weird purgatory bc of course i reap all the benefit of white privilege and pass as just another white Canadian mf yet ppl still treat your country of origin as some crazy foreign boogeyman and regurgitate insane propaganda, but if your parents retained their communist moral compass (75% of them turned into materialistic consoomers the moment the country opened up) you also just feel this immense cognitive disconnect from the west and Canadian ideology. It's like an identity in here ...

#ik saying second generation half rus sounds like im grasping for straws but i have citizenship it was my first language #my primary caregiver was rus and we would go back every other year so no im not on some irish american bs abt being rus #i do know other 1st gen russians who straight up didnt even teach their canadian kids the language #which was very much not my lived experience lol #add in a dash of “is my familys culture just so different or is this clinical domestic dysfunction” and youre scrombled for liffee

hmm thinking about the idea of love songs. i think the idea of what a love song is that we have in our culture is inherently a little bit flawed because we have the idea that any song written about romantic feelings is a love song and im thinking thats not exactly true because there is a difference between "romance" and "love". what i'm saying is not that love is a broader category and applies to things that are not romantic in nature. this is in fact true, but it's not what makes the important distinction here. the true distinction between "romance" and "love" is that romance is a societally defined type of interest in another person, whereas love is, essentially, a promise that you make when you build a relationship.

as such, what i call "love" here might be better defined as "care", as that implies more time and effort, but that's a different suitcase to unpack and largely unimportant to my point here, which is more about the societal conventions of what we call love songs. the point is, relationships can be built with other people, yes, but also animals, places, organizations, ideas, so on and so on, whereas romance requires another person, hence the difference between the ideas of "romance" and "love".

with that in mind, there are two types of songs we in western, english speaking, society call "love songs":

1) songs that are about a person's romantic interest in someone that is either definitively known to be unrequited (existing monogamous relationship, sexuality that doesn't align, etc) or simply not requited (aka romantic interest being unknown); and

2) songs about an existing relationship (keeping in mind my points about relationships not just being with people, but also places, things, etcetera) as is.

(some examples of the latter category: mountaintop by relient k, which defines the relationship in question as non-romantic; or i miss my mum by cavetown, which is - as the title implies - a song about the singer missing their mother.)

now, the thing that makes distinguishing these two difficult is the fact that songs about an existing relationship CAN be about wanting certain aspects of that relationship to change. in these cases, determining that a song is one or the other will hinge either on a) authorial intent or b) whether the song is more about what the singer wants (thereby implying #1) or the lack thereof in that relationship (which would imply #2).

to get back to the subject at hand: the term "love song", as we think of it, is an umbrella term that include both of these two categories, and i think that perhaps it is reductive to do so. with that in mind, i think perhaps it would be more appropriate for "love song" to mean only the latter, whereas the former is a category of its own. WHICH is not to say that the two can't overlap — just that if a song is about a person with whom the singer has no relationship, it cannot be considered a love song due to the fact that it is a song about infatuation, not love.

(another interesting wrinkle this provides is the fact that a song might start out in the first category and, as the writer develops a relationship with a person, might move into the second category as they write more.)

#anyway. just some of my thoughts on this as an aromantic songwriter #ari opinion hour #this goes a good deal to reconcile my constant writing of love songs with the fact that none of them are romantic #which im fine with as long as im keeping them to myself but it DOES feel dishonest when i hide that theyre love songs.#however this did also go some way to convince me that maybe care songs is an alternative that i SHOULD use because it is more applicable to #me than the concept of love which MOST people do not have the same perspective on as i do and having different definitions of the same word #is an important barrier to consider in communication #i will admit i do think im clinging to my care songs being love songs due to my relationship with an organization to which love is very #important as i dont want to go back on my promises to that organization as it IS very important to me #anyway. can you tell ive been reading house of leaves by the fact that this appeared fully fledged in my head in fully academic language #but for real like thinking about it now and even my old love songs like most would probably think to see them that they would go in the #first category and they just. DO NOT. at least not the ones that were written after i was like Yeah im aro again #its interesting the ones i wrote in the brief period where i thought i WASNT aro in like mid hs those i WOULD put in the first category #even though like i do NOT think i was right about it being romantic #but the ones after i was like Yea im aro again are like. Thats definitely the latter #part of it is i did find a voice that was like genuinely Mine and wasnt just writing sort of generic love songs #love songs in the typical usage i mean so they were really more infatuation songs #but like i was still with the last person irl who i wrote these about divorced from like... my aroness because of how much i liked him #and i would still put those in the second category #so part of it is awareness as well #so. yeah. its interesting #i probably should just suck it up and start calling them care songs. even if people dont know what i mean to say that

@eternalglitch I AM INTRODUCING LFLS INTO A NICHE AND POSSIBLY UNSTABLE ECOSYSTEM

so there's this website that's called "Pixilart" and it's actually kinda like tumblr a little bit, but it's much more art based and focused on pixel art specifically. It's a lot of fandom stuff, not really a lot of tmnt. A niche sector of the fandom. Not a single piece of lfls art on there smh. So I fixed that :)

I was thinking about that part in lfls where. It's. The. Second. Time. Donnie. CHNAGED THE WAY LEO COMMUNICATED WITH THE WORLD AND - hands neck hands neck hands neck up contrast. 1=Neck the first time. 2=hands the second time. SECOND TIMES THE CHARM. I seem to go a little insane when the emotions get to me that's interesting. Then I start analyzing my own response and things around me. SECOND TIMES THE CHARM. LEO BLAMES DONNIE FOR THE SHOCK COLLAR. CRYING SOBBING SMILING GRINNING LAUGHING SOBBING SOAMING ON THE WALLS GIGGLING.

Help

#lfls #lfls spoilers #am i obsessed?#lfls fanart #lfls green #lfls chapter 26 #I think that's the one #rottmnt fanart #rottmnt #lfls leo #the two heads represent leo at different times #the first time when he first lost his voice #the second time when he starts learning sign language #stitched together through change

Okay overall, this draft is actually in a great place (though I'm getting into the chapters that need more edits so we'll see how I feel about it in another 80 pages) but I do sometimes laugh at the shit I flag for changes. I had to make a note to alter how I introduce a couple of pieces of information because I was sitting there like, I don't actually think this character would know this in this manner, it's just the most convenient way for it to be explained. But to change it I'd have to rewrite a whole page, and maybe four readers would notice that this is purely expository, and is that really worth it?

But unfortunately, I am one of those readers. So I gotta change it.

#also the most recent note i have is to change a line from 'really fucking cold' to 'horribly fucking cold'#cuz the pov character is like #high register with low register sprinkled in.#as opposed to low register with high register sprinkled in and high register sprinkled with blatant immaturity.#trying to write three different mages with distinct voices and povs is TERRIBLE cuz they do end up fairly similar #to say nothing of the fact that one of them is technically speaking in a second language but anyway #megs is writing #for real this time! sorta. editing is writing

I feel like a fucking idiot.

I'm part chinese, I know the vaguest amount of chinese, I've even taken mandarin classes throughout my life...

Yet somehow, somehow, I failed to realize that PM (may have) made a double-meaning joke with the 'hong' in Hong Lu's name meaning 'red'

#void screaming #limbus company #mandarin is a... strange-ish language #i say this because its syllables are very limited #meaning that a single word can mean a dozen different things #so it's heavily dependent on context #it's easier to tell in writing though #since those words (while still sounding the same) will have different ways of writing (hanzi)#hóngsè (red the color; 红色) and hóng lù (grand jade (according to google); 鸿璐) have different hanzi for the 'hong' portion of their words #but they still have the same tone signal (second tone; ó)#so technically #without proper context you could interchange both words for each other #and this may or may not tie back to how hong lu's source is called 'dream of the red chamber'#and it may also tie into how his base e.g.o. is him chucking a red ribbon at his enemies #(i feel like i'm completely off the mark here but like fuck it)#(food for thought wahoooooo)#hong lu lcb
