it's like. such a recurring pattern that it's hard to believe it's unintentional, but... like, the text never actually alludes directly to the fact that most of the problems are rooted in the characters' attempts to act based on what they think others are feeling or would feel. and often the characters seem to take away explicit realizations that are the opposite of accurate on this point... so like, also weirdly subtle about it if it is intentional

despite being a manga in which so many characters so frequently are telling people that they've gotta take other people's feelings into consideration, i'm not sure i've ever seen characters that needed to stop thinking so much about other people's feelings as in yuri is my job

@aescling it doesn't really say

@aschmitz sadly too few celebrate

@Lady i would also analyze my "sang" as [seŋ], somewhere in that territory; this book transcribed it as mentioned above with æ tho. this article is perplexing me.

does transcribing (GenAm English) "sang" as [sæŋ] make sense to any of y'all?

@Lady @aescling @wallhackio not even subtext

"for that matter, what inexactly is going on?" —my wife about the severance court scenes in lesbian bear storm

kinda impressed that tumblr has managed to make their website take several seconds before it even requests the javascript necessary for the page to work

my players’ characters successfully escaped captivity without being sacrificed to a lamia. and also saved several other captives. good job them.

you sure cause a lot of apocalypses in path of exile

i request recommendations for good introductory linguistics materials
