when your grammar accidentally transfers
adding onto this with my own
My father is a particularly difficult man to make laugh. He has spent years and years becoming the de-facto funniest man around and has yet to have anyone who could out-funny him. God forbid you ever told him a joke, all you would get in response was a blank face and an accurate guess for your punchline. He’s heard and seen it all.
However, the one thing that CONSISTENTLY makes my father laugh, is Terry Pratchett.
When I was growing up, Sir Terry was a staple in the household. His books lined every surface in every room, each one with broken spines from repeated readings. He would tell me bedtime stories directly from the Discworld books, retelling them to me from memory. He would settle down to read Sir Terry’s books every night, and the last thing he thought of before falling asleep was Sir Terry’s words.
So, when I finally got to the age where I developed my own sense of identity and could finally choose who my favourite author was without my father’s influence, who did my favourite author become?
Well, Neil Gaiman obviously.
Moving past the countless rounds of “Are you sure you don’t want to trying reading The Colour of Magic again?”, he finally gifted me a collection of Mr Gaiman’s works for some Christmas or birthday that has long gone, and I of course now put them on the shelf next to his books. They all have matching broken spines.
#i moved out almost a year ago now and miss my dad daily#and the new season of good omens had just made me remember how much i love him#and given that the book was written by our two favourite authors you can bet i was excited to share it with him#no real point to this#just thinking#its his birthday next week and i should get him another pratchett book but he has all of them#neil gaiman#terry pratchett

be honest does anyone seriously enjoy sharing a bed. like im not even talking about having sex I mean literally just sleeping in the same bed as someone else does anyone actually want and enjoy doing that
#i have a long distance boyfriend and literally this is the one thing i miss the most#just having someone i love near me and holding me as i fall asleep#i’ve always had sleep anxiety but having someone nearby makes me feel safe and anchored#i understand why people who are used to sleeping alone dont like it#and i was very much one of those people#but i think that it depends on WHO you’re actually sharing a bed with#because i’ve shared beds with people im not very close with and i hated it#so maybe thats the answer#not entirely black and white#not a matter of ‘it sucks’ or ‘its great!’ but more a nuanced answer that depends on love and trust#polls

大草原不可避 : Keyboard smashing in Japanese
I explained how keyboard smashing in English expresses laughing really hard and she taught me the Japanese equivalent in return!!
As some of you might know, in Japanese, “w” from the word “to laugh” 笑う 「わらう」 is basically like “lol” in Japanese so when there’s a bunch of “w”’s together it looks like this wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
and it looks like a bunch of grass so one slang word to show something is funny is 草 「くさ」 which is the word/kanji for grass so you don’t have to type out a bunch of w’s.
So the step up from 草 is 大草原 「だいそうげん」 which means prairie since there’s a lot more grass.
And if something leaves you laughing so much that you can’t hold it back you could say 大草原不可避 「だいそうげんふかひ」 which basically means “inevitable prairie”.
The “inevitable part”, 不可避 「ふかひ」 in this phrase means laughter is inevitable and you can’t help but laugh.
