brutus before he stabs caesar: orange you glad to see me

I am so utterly fascinated by โ€œSakiโ€, the 18-year-running mahjong manga in which you, the reader, become gradually, frog-boilingly aware (over the course of nearly two decadesโ€™ worth of mahjong tournaments) that none of these girls are wearing underwear and most of their boobs are slowly expanding.

I need you to understand that I have, like, an anthropological level fascination with this comic. From the perspective of someone who is also a comic artist and writer, two things delight me about it:

  1. the fact that I understand completely how an artist gets from โ€œthe fans can have a little hint of skirted asscheekโ€ to โ€œthe pussy is completely out on center pageโ€ over the course of 18 years; and
  2. the way in which the pussy being out is treated by the characters and diegesis as being utterly unremarkable.

This happened to my friend who started progesterone.

so weird how in english some words are really just used in expressions and not otherwiseโ€ฆ like has anyone said โ€œhavocโ€ when not using it in the phrase โ€œwreaking havocโ€? same goes for โ€œwreakingโ€ actuallyโ€ฆ

reply with more, iโ€™m fascinated

these are called fossil words! here's a whole list

Also interested in words that originally had opposites but donโ€™t anymore; i.e. how we say ruthless but not ruth.

Something that I first applied to working with children, and have applied in a limited form to working with adults: you don't need to tell someone when they read your instructions wrong. Sometimes it's enough to point out what they did right and then whatever they didn't do? You ask them to do it in more precise words, and you make it sound like it's a new request. Remarkable how fast things get done this way.

This is also a habit I built up from emergency response training. If I say "I need you to bring me a first aid kit and an accident report" and you bring me just a first aid kit, it's so much more efficient to say "thanks now can you bring me an accident report" than "I asked you to bring an accident report why didn't you bring me one".

Once you've internalized "a person bleeding out is one of the worst times to start an argument" you start to wonder what other tasks could get accomplished without arguing
