quoted snarky response to sexist linguistic conservatism
(translation of the quote: «"You all have to respect the Spanish language. This is already done in Uruguay, in France, and in other countries," they said as if Spanish were spoken in French schools.»)

«“Tienen que respetar el idioma español. Esto ya se hizo en Uruguay, en Francia y en otros países”, dijo como si en los colegios galos se hablara castellano.»
this was rlly funny
oh no my computer was doing the thing where it thought it was charging even when it wasn’t and also didn’t actually charge. hopefully letting its battery run out will fix whatever got confused like it did the last time.
it is too humid :<
hmm, not sure if the princess's maidservant siding with the revolutionaries and asking her to abdicate in the beginning here is laying groundwork for the princess's subsequent gradual realization that the revolutionaries were right or undercutting that subsequent arc.
writing about sex
@Lady that is indeed very much the opposite of my problem. i am writing in a close, intimate perspective, and i'm thinking that perhaps, although the protagonist is somewhat repressed when it comes to the targets of her sexuality (at this point), that might not also be the case about the bare fact of her being a sexual being.
writing about sex
@Lady why might it do that?
re: writing about sex
i mean, i'm definitely squeamish about writing sex, but it may also be appropriate to be discreet about this particular instance. also i need to get over the squeamishness. there's like, at least 3 or 4 sex scenes that are going to have to happen on-page, purely in terms of what's essential to the narrative arc
writing about sex
not sure if i genuinely need to only discreetly imply that this character is masturbating in this scene or if it's just me being squeamish about writing about sex.
(this measurement brought to you by me listening to screen violence director's cut while showering)
that was a long shower. nearly the non-director's cut length of screen violence by chvrches
@pan oh noooo why would they do that
@xsssm@selfy.army is the torso too long? it's about as long as like hip to knee? which feels plausible (i did some contorting to try to compare on my own body hehe)
unrelatedly i like it. i was for some reason pleasantly surprised to notice the toes.
me: i will read this survey textbook on latin american history to get a broad idea of things and help decide what area i want to focus on
me, after reading much of it: i'm probably still just gonna pick argentina huh
@pan ah i do not like it when that happens... like, i wanna eat, but then that will delay my being able to sleep, but then also if i don't then when i wake up i'll be even hungrier. alas :<
