I’m thinking of making a separate blog or side-blog for all the not-VC stuff I want to reblog and possibly add my hilarious commentary on. I see things DAILY that I can’t justify reblogging here (and I try not to overdo it with the #not vc and #whatever whatever I do what I want tags).
[^Lestat registering the bizzareness that I have room in my heart for OTHER STUFF than VC pfffft]
I have my self-imposed post limit here and with this new blog I’d feel more free to post things there knowing it won’t spam anyone who wasn’t following it.
The new blog will probably have:
Personal thought posts on stuff and/or answers to asks on non-VC topics.
Maybe more selfies? Is that smtg you want? HMMMM?
Other fandoms stuff (I do actually like some other fandoms’ fanworks and stuff)
Classical Art and vintage illustrations
Bumps of artists’ commission posts.
MAYBE A LITTLE POLITICAL CRAP? Teensy bit.
Aesthetic set reblogs (there are just too many to reblog them all here).
Look what arrived, look what arrived! Finally, a proof copy of The God in the Field for me to thumb through and make sure all is well. And all is beautiful! Production can finally finish now thank goodness!
As long as you look for someone else to validate who you are by seeking their approval, you are setting yourself up for disaster. You have to be whole and complete in yourself. No one can give you that. You have to know who you are – what others say is irrelevant.
idk I just love how we Young People Today use ~improper~ punctuation/grammar in actually really defined ways to express tone without having to explicitly state tone like that’s just really fucking cool, like
no = “No,” she said.
no. = "No,” she said sharply.
No = “No,” she
stated
firmly.
No. = “No,” she snapped.
NO = “No!” she shouted.
noooooo = “No,” she moaned.
no~ = “No,” she said with a drawn-out sing-song.
~no~ = “No,” she drawled sarcastically.
NOOOOO = “No!” she screamed dramatically.
no?! = “No,” she said incredulously.
I’ve been calling this “typographical nuance” and I have a few more to add:
*no* = “No,” she said emphatically.
*nopes on out of here* = “No,” she said of herself in the third person, with a touch of humorous emphasis.
~*~noooo~*~ = “No,” she moaned in stylized pseudo-desperation.
#no = “No,” she added as a side comment.
“no” = “No,” she scare-quoted.
wtf are you kidding no = “No,” she said flatly. “And I can’t believe I have to say this.”
no no No No NO NO NO NO = "No,” she repeated over and over again, growing louder and more emphatic.
nooOOOO = “No,” she said, starting out quietly and turning into a scream.
*no = “Oops, I meant ‘no,’” she corrected, “Sorry for the typo in my previous message.”
I cannot express how strongly I absolutely love language and writing and communication but if anyone asks why I will be showing them this post from now on
I sometimes forget that no everyone can read all of these correctly and tend to create misunderstandings. It’s honestly fascinating to see there are certain nuances to written language that are completely inaccessible to certain groups of people, while for others it’s second nature. Not to mention how easily people sometimes navigate these different kinds of written languge, switching from one to the next in a moment.
