It’s kinda disrespectful to try and celebrate an artist by showing off only work that she inspired (screenshots from the anime she didn’t draw) rather than her own artwork (which is beautiful and deserves recognition).

i love when religious dudes are like “jacking off isn’t a sin but it is frowned upon” like god’s watching me pummel my meat with a big sour look on his face like “technically this is my fault for not being more specific but i’m not happy with this at all”

I don’t really follow Boruto all that much but today I found out that “I sure do love funerals and little boys” Raiga apparently was fucking before he died and had, like, a daughter?????????????????

Oh i love this concept!

amateurlanguager

I love it too! I love it mostly because it makes me feel less overwhelmed. When you break it down like this, everything seems so much more manageable. Like, hey, I could memorize 20 words at a time (even if ‘at a time’ varies wildly for me), and just do that like ten times. That’s a HUGE chunk of a language.

(And since I have the habit of doing languages that are similar to ones I’m already familiar with, the grammar part usually comes pretty easy, too.)
