Hojas Caídas,

my friend and i were going to study a language together and wound up having to cancel our plans due to scheduling pressures, but! through research we came across a really cool resource for reading in a TON of languages: bloom library!

as you can see, it has a lot of books for languages that are usually a bit harder to find materials for—we were going to use it for kyrgyz, for example, which has over 1000 books, which was really hard to find textbook materials for otherwise. as you can see it also has books with audio options, which would be really useful for pronunciation checking. as far as i can tell, everything on the site is free as well.

Stage 1: using your native language's idioms in English out of habit/lack of knowledge

Stage 2: using English idioms as much as you can to prove that you're good at English

Stage 3: using your native language's idioms in English because they fuck actually

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Road stained green,

Wind carries rain’s eager drops,

Illuminated by a passing car’s main beam.

Road stained amber,

Rain hits my locks yet I hide under bus stops,

My heart grows ever damper

Road stained red,

Ceaseless rain hitting all with its cold drops,

I ask myself again, “Why did I get out of bed?”

“A la vuelta de la esquina, la luna celestial de cada día”

Pourquoi?

L’univers continue a tourner, avec le vide intemporel que l’entoure depuis le début de temps. Le vide le chasse depuis toujours, et le vide le chassera jusqu’a la fin du temps, sans cesse, sans doute, sans douleur et bonheur, sans succès mais aussi sans échec.

Pourquoi univers? Pourquoi continue de lutter contre et courir de le vide inescapable et impregnable? Où est votre raison? Où est votre réalité? Pourquoi vous-allez de l’avant sans regarder en arrière? De quoi fontaine de la Jeunesse, de quoi source d’espoir, de quoi pont de paix venez-vous?

Dites-moi, non. Dites-Nous où est votre destination? Dites-Nous pourquoi vous courez du vide? Dites-moi si c’est possible de comprendre votre mission impossible, si c’est possible de vous aider dans votre quête?

Dites-moi, univers d’espoir inébranlable, pourquoi je peux jamais trouver vos réponses?

Je vous demande, si vous avez le choix entre égoïsme et préservation de la race humaine, pourquoi avez vous choisi l’option incorrecte chaque fois?

S’il-vous-plaît

Song is the drunk by Kiltro

Raven, my Argonian totally not named after me, has to talk to Rogneir reguarding affairs in Riften, Rogneir is a drunken skooma addicted khajiit, who due to being a khajiit, faces a LOT more discrimination than the average thief, he’s not part of the thieves guild, but the fact he’s a cat alone gets him kicked out of bars, inns, and shops.

I just wanted my first animated music video to be an interaction between these two, the song is, from my perspective, about a drunk homeless guy ranting about how despite living in the streets, he’s happier and better than the average homeless man, and I thought that works perfectly for Rogneir ^^!!!

If Timothy Stoker were there to witness jmart, you better believe this man is Number One Hater of it (jokingly, of course). My man is borderline homophobic the way he is constantly tearing them to shreds. Idiot man and his idiot boyfriend. He's the best man at their wedding.

The bird cries,

it sails through the skies as its flock demands,

and skims the seas bustling with life,

The bird flies,

it whisks past windows as whimsy commands,

and holds the suns hands,

when she reaches high up above all lands,

The bird stands,

it will lay with its feather,

when it finds the promised land it will rest forever,

The bird lands,

It understands,

It lays down in man-made sand,

The bird cries.
