A Man on the corner

I post edits I make. One of these days I might even make something good. hornyeditor.

This is a minor thing but it is very annoying to me when people replace every instance of "th" with þ, while ignoring the existence of ð. Like those indicate very different sounds I'm sorry you are not really saying "þat, þis, þose" unless you are hosing me down with saliva

Now, writing like ðis might be confusing, but at ðe very least ðis actually follows what English sounds like. I only ask for consistency. "ðis þeremin." "ðat þursday." "ðis is ðe þanks I get?"

@violetnull’s tags are correct. While it’s entirely possible that thorn & eth originally indicated voiceless & voiced, English stopped maintaining that distinction so far back that they’re already used interchangeably in our earliest surviving texts.

That said, yes, if we brought both letters back, that’s exactly how we should use them.

official linguistics post

My goal for today is to assemble all my current writing, without notes, into a single document, and then print that document out for assemble in a binder.

I did not expect this to be this scary. It feels like I'm making it Real.

Current word count is 37,000. The earlier sections will definitely need some touching up. So Im expecting 60-75K by the first complete draft.

What the fuuuuuuuck

This is kinda wild. Holding it in my hand as a physical object is giving me a better sense of where the gaps are and what needs to be added.

Shows like Jentry Chau are when I mourn weekly episode drops the most.

The theorizing would be SO MUCH FUN EACH WEEK. Imagine the fights about peoples’ favorite side of the love triangle(s). Imagine a different character getting cancelled after each episode only for people to forgive them a week later.

Truly a loss to fandom.

Finally got around to watching it and my first thought was "some of this would have been more impactful if there were a handful of breather episodes".

i enter the shower. hours pass. i emerge from the shower, having mixed all of my soaps and scrubs and lotions and conditioners and shampoos and body washes together in the tub in precise alchemical quantities. i smell like 314 different herbs and spices. my hair will not need washing for the next 500 days. my skin has developed protective chitinous scales. i step out of the tub and immediately slip and fall on a stray puddle of mane 'n tail and sprain my pussy

I enter the shower. I immediately slip and fall but not before trying to grab onto one of the shelves, thereby dooming myself even more. The shelf rips off of the wall and sets off a chain reaction. All lotions, scrubs, gels, conditioners and shampoos fall into the tub, opening and spilling their contents on impact. The chemicals mix and my body gets dissolved in a matter of minutes
