Reblog if you stand against order, civilization, and goodness itself
Just cut my hair at 11pm after listening to Hozier. I will not regret this decision in any way, shape, or form.
So we know how "Kendal" meant "right hand" in the earliest language spoken where the city of Vash came to be. Through this fun tidbit, we can see similarities in different parts of Aurora's language tree. There was a first language, which evolved overtime with isolation and regional dialects as language does.
In the calendar extra lore page, it's stated that sindahlan, the 28 day basically a month, means "two-hand pass" in reference to Sword's two full orbits. Assuming the word breaks down like the translation, 'sin' likely means two, 'dahl' means hand, and 'an' means pass. In Erin's narration/ journal entry in chapter 4, we learn that the storm is called "Dalan-Rakhn," meaning "the hand of chaos," by mountain folk. Since we now know that Rakhn is the name of some god (I saw theories he's a volcanic god?) who is likely chaotic, we can assume "dalan" means "the hand of" or something like that. So we have another "dal" meaning hand. To my knowledge, we don't know which mountian folk Erin was talking about, but they're likely not near Vash as Windscrest still called the storm "The Storm" and Kendal calls it the "Standing Storm." (side note- zooming in on the storm map on 1.8.1 and what we know of Rakhn being referenced to the north of Argist along with volcanic activity makes me think the mountains in question might be the ones at the top right part of the current continent.)
Word of Red states that "Kendal" is a very unusual name in current comic time, so potentially 'dal' meaning hand is from a much earlier branch of Aurora's language family tree. All in all, I quite like how you can see similar words across languages.

actually losing it over these panels, i can't stop laughing
"do you really have to make everything ga-" yes.

I opened my copy of The Tale of the Body Thief & immediately had to close it again because of this silly little annotation

Literally 2 fucking seconds away from emailing my teacher saying that I'm an idiot because I missed an entire page of math problems in the packet, and I hate math and it's nearly midnight, and I should've gone to bed hours ago, and at this point I'm digging my own grave.
I just remembered that I used to eat chapstick when I was around ten years old. Like, full tubes of chapstick because I thought they tasted good.
hey if we’re mutuals you can literally interact w me whenever. send me whatever u want i will probably be very excited
as someone who is starting a new uni at 23 but is blending in perfectly with the 18-year-olds i'm curious and i need to ask
feel free to reblog and tell me in the tags what age do you get mistaken for, and do you find that to be a bad or a good thing :))
socialising should be optional
internet friends are kinda like illegally downloaded friends. you don’t get the physical copy but you still get all the great content
The unending urge to DM my mutuals but not knowing what to say or talk about
yo for the record if you put something in my inbox and i never respond it’s not that i didn’t like it or read it it’s that i very very often see messages and go ‘oh i should respond to that’ and then i fucking forget until it’s like. been enough time to be weird
im not okay, obviously.
reblog if you’re NOT tumblr famous, but you ARE tired and kinda gay
Food as love in Heartstopper Season 2
Charlie gives Nick a chocolate bar for their 2-month anniversary.
Tao's mom brings him apple slices when he's feeling down. After their conversation, Tao eats them.
Charlie buying tons of snacks for the friend sleepover.
Nick keeping the croissant for Charlie to eat later.
Tao offering Nick a crisp (a parallel from their faceoff in season 1 where Nick offers Tao chips as an olive branch).
Tao getting the apple juice for Elle at the hotel breakfast in Paris.
And Charlie denies himself food just as he denies himself the love he gives so freely to his friends.
Tumblr mutuals are automatic friends that can message me anytime
Reblog if you’d be okay if your friend came out as transgender
let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out

hey btw if you're in the USA at 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.
if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.
additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.
i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."
"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.
i hope all of my mutuals from when i first joined tumblr and didn't realise i could talk to people and now feel too awkward to initiate conversation with know that i love them
