psa: if you’re learning a language on Duolingo you can use it for your resumé on Linkedin, it now gives you a certificate of fluency at different levels depending on how advanced you are in your lessons
please signal boost this, many people don’t realize how important being multilingual can be in regards to you getting a job
do u ever send smth in a chat thats not even risqué like “i luv salsa” but no one responds so u start overthinking it like…. maybe one of their parents died making salsa…… maybe they were all just talking abt how they hate salsa……. maybe salsa isnt evn real and they have no idea what im talking abt
me, shoveling vegemite toast and a glass of cold milo down my facehole: i’m not really like a stereotypical aussie aussie, yknow?
me, with a slice of fairy bread in each hand as i eye off the pavlova: it’s like, i’m pretty sure i’d know if i was, yknow? i dont think i’m all that ocker
me, as i sit out back with a coopers pale and the sounds of the neighbours kids kicking the footy around sounds in the distance: it’s not like i say “g’day” for real or anything… pretty sure i’ve never said it once seriously in my life, and- *sniffs the air* and some bloody bastard is having a barbie and didn’t invite us. rude.
me, struggling to cram an entire cherry ripe and two tim tams into my mouth at the same time: i mean if you offer me a holden or a VW i’m gonna pick… … i mean if i had to pick a hatch or a ute, i’d… shit.
Vulgar is a conlang (constructed/fictional language) generator created to help literally generate a language for you. No, really. No tricks, and it’s super simple to use. It’s my favourite tool right now for writing fantasy, even as someone who loves creating his own languages, it’s an amazing starting point.
Want a random conlang, straight away, with no prep or fuss? Just visit http://vulgarlang.com/index.html and click “Generate New Conlang”… and that’s it. Scroll down and through your brand new, generated, completely original conlang.
If you’re a little more advanced in terms of conlanging and want to specify IP phonemes to be used, you can add them too, but even with no knowledge of linguistics you can create a language at the click of your fingers.
This version of Vulgar is completely free, sure…. but! the guy who created it has not only made an amazing thing (which I repeat, is absolutely free at it’s most basic point), but is also planning on updating it more and more!
Under the “Buy” tab on the Vulgar website, he links to his email, where you can offer to pay for the full version of Vulgar, which is a total steal right now at a sale price of only nineteen dollars. Considering professional conlangers and linguists could charge you, like, a metric fuck ton of money for the same data you’re getting here for just nineteen, that’s a major steal.
Not to mention, buying the alpha build now gives you free access to all of it’s updated versions, which I can guarantee are just going to get better and better! I’ve already bought it and I adore it, and this is a tool the likes of which we in the conlang community have never seen in such an awesome way.
Please consider helping Vulgar out, because the creator is a damn genius
This is possibly the coolest thing I’ve ever come across
you know like. that thing tumblr does when ur scrolling and suddenly it skips a post and u scroll up and it skips the post again and youre like okay what the fuck is it you dont want me to see
Ooooh for the ask meme... 3C with Klance, 1C with Heith, 4A with Hance, or 2B with Shallura? (Feel free to pick and choose; I like sending people multiple prompts so they can pick whichever one appeals the most. I'd enjoy any of these.) (Bonus points for Galra!Keith, just because cuteness.)
I did Hunk and Keith because, not gonna lie I highkey love Heith… Like High high key.
me: I’m mentally ill and struggling to get the energy to do tasks that are necessary for my everyday life
a neurotypical: having you considering taking on several time consuming and tiring hobbies, such as running, getting up at 5am to do yoga, and making green smoothies with 20 ingredients every day
I hate this because I deal with mental illness and it has really helped me to exercise and eat better. I mean yeah medication is a necessity too but it’s not super time consuming to throw some shit together for a smoothie, my roommates have depression/anxiety and still make smoothies… Honestly this website is so enabling… even though I totally get that it’s difficult to get out of bed (I deal with that everyday) but I have people in my life who aren’t enablers and encourage me to change some of my daily activities for the sake of my mental health. I’m just tired of seeing posts like these circulating around because it’s not gonna help people when you’re enabling unhealthy behaviors that add to/are a product of mental illness.
So here’s the thing: illnesses come in varying degrees of severity. To use a physical example, about half my family has type 2 diabetes. We’re genetically predisposed, it’s something all of us keep an eye out for. But not everyone who has it has it in the same way. One of my aunts has a fairly mild form, as long as she watches her diet she can keep it under control. Her son, however, requires insulin injections (yes, on occasion type 2 does require injections). He watches what he eats too, but his body is just different. It doesn’t mean he’s around enablers because he can’t get by on only diet and exercise. It means his mother’s diabetes and his diabetes aren’t exactly the same.
This is also true for mental illness. Often it’s true for the same mental illness in the same person. When I was 19 and at my most depressed no amount of exercise or drinking smoothies was going to help. Trust me, I tried. There’s only so much you can do when you’re dissociating so badly you’re regularly ending up across town with no recollection of how you got there. I had a severe chemical imbalance, not unlike my cousin’s lack of insulin production. I needed medication to get me to a point where I could realistically consider things like diet and exercise. Then, sometime around my mid-20s, my brain settled down. I still have chronic depression, but it’s mild enough that I can manage it without medication. I can do my meditation and go for my run and spend time outside and that’s usually enough to keep me going. Why? Not because I got away from enablers (trust me, I’m far more supported now than I’ve ever been), but because my brain chemistry changed.
I will absolutely agree that a lot of posts on this site glorify mental illness in an unhealthy way. People (particularly young people) forget that self-care is often hard and doesn’t include sitting in week old pyjamas watching Doctor Who for 52 hours straight. But this post? This is just pointing out that adding in extra tasks most neurotypical people struggle with is a ridiculous thing to ask someone who’s already barely managing.
I hate when people down play K/eith's piloting skills. He is the best pilot among the paladins. B4 getting their lions P/dge and H/unk weren't even pilots. L@nce only became a fighter pilot because K/eith dropped out. Need to pursue some1 into an asteroid belt? Sh/ro sent K/eith. That's why Sh/ro chose to bring K/eith with him in BOM (not favoritism) but because K/eith was best suited to navigate such a dangerous path. He's their best pilot.
Sh/iro explained why he’s taking K/eith with him
but apparently the L/ance of Mar/mora seems… more appealing than a K/eith character arc to some people
playing mystery heroes and one person picking one hero, and the other 5 immediately picking that hero
spam selecting and deslecting your hero while waiting on the preparation screen
spam crouching in front of people
emoting to people and getting an emote in response
putting your spray up and someone coming over and very carefully positioning their spray next to yours
very specific but when you play “the floor is lava” by jumping in a circle from table to table at the first attack spawn point on volskaya and people join in
