"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."
Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.
Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.
REBLOG IF YOU'RE A HUMAN AND YOU USE EM DASH
Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.
NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.
Do you know much of a god named Bragi? My family has been cleaning out the house of my grand-aunt how recently died of lung cancer and previously believed to be a very devoted Catholic. We found basically a shrine to a god named Bragi with poems and sheet music she appears to have written herself dedicated to him. We found the hidden shrine when we smelled something rotting--it turned out to be apples left on the shrine. Is he associated with apples? Family is a bit freaked, sorry to bother you.
Bragi? He’s a son of Odin, and the god of music and poetry.
And I’m laughing my absolute ass off that your aunt kept that a secret until she died, and feel like an ass for laughing. I’m sorry for your loss, but yeah, your grand-aunt was a heathen, and I may have to light a candle for her, because damn.

How to use Tolkien's languages
I guess posts have been made about where you can find references on Sindarin, Quenya, Nandorin, Old Elvish, and Noldorin among others on Tumblr but I wanted to make my own list (so I can come back to it when I need it). If you know a website you'd like me to consider for my list, please just mention it to me.
Ambar Eldaron – Sindarin and Quenya dictionaries and courses
Ardalambion – Website about the sounds of Tolkien's languages and their grammar
Automatic Quenya translator – English to Quenya and back
Eldamo – A lexicon of Tolkien's invented languages including fonts
Glæmscrafu – This website explores the sounds of Tolkien's invented languages and includes several texts and poems
Gwaith-i-Phethdain, The Fellowship of the Word-Smiths – Very detailed page by Ryszard Derdzinski. Many poems and calligraphies. Particularly noteworthy are the translations of the Elvish texts and songs from the film trilogy.
Hiswelokë's Sindarin Dictionary – A Sindarin and Noldorin dictionary that was started in 1999 and then went on hiatus in 2008
I Lam Arth – Aaron Shaw's site with a series of in-depth articles on Sindarin
Lalaith's Middle Earth Science Pages – Website about Middle-earth's people, languages of the humans, and other things. This also includes Rohirric if you're into learning that.
Mellonath Daeron – Some useful Elvish phrases
Parf Edhellen – A Sindarin, Quenya, Primitive Elvish, and Noldorin dictionary. It's my favourite website because it also compares old and new translations.
Parma Tyelpelassiva – Texts, songs, poems and grammar for Sindarin, Quenya, Andûnaic, Noldorin, etc.
Quenya pronunciation guide
RealElvish – Phrasebooks on Sindarin, Quenya, Andûnaic, etc. including naming traditions and lists for Elves, Rohirrim, Hobbits, Dwarves (if you need it for a fanfiction)
Sindarin.de – The first Sindarin website I frequented and where I learnt all the grammar. It's in German.
Sindarin phrasebook by slarmstrong – There are 3 parts of this phrasebook
Sindanórie – Site by Roman Rausch with articles on Telerin and word overlaps between the Elvish and real languages, poems, sound files, etc.
Tecendil – If you want to see what your name or others look like in Elvish script
Tyalie Tyelellieva – Website by Lisa Star but since geocities was taken down, it only exists in an archived form. It was last updated in 2004 but it also has a Khūzdul or Dwarvish Wordlist.
Happy browsing and please reblog! 🥰
anyone else learn to write in tolkien's elvish script when they were like 12, proceed to write 2+ years of diary entries in it and then almost entirely forget how to re-translate them? becos uhhh
i don't go here (helpol) but still reblogging!!

fyi everyone, the eroica page on mangadex has been restored! i recommend that if you read eroica, read from mangadex, as its the most complete and organized collection of FEWL scans, including both CMX (official) and fan translations.
the free shooter and el halcon have also been re-uploaded.

was it casual when i saw you walking across a meadow in our university and was so flustered i hid in a doorframe. was it casual when you asked me to sleep with you in latin knowing i didn’t understand latin. was it casual when our arms brushed in a corridor once and i still remember it years later-
amazing. spectacular. fantastic. fantabulous. iridescent. ethereal.

As someone who’s reported alt-right harassment and rhetoric on various social media sites and been told “there’s nothing here that violates our TOS,” seeing what RPGnet is doing is a welcome breath of fresh air.
Please, more social media sites need to do this.
a world without trans people has never existed and never will
