part 347 dimensions of sight and sound

[aphanon_meme]

and of mind. Do do do do do do do do do do do.

How was your end-of-December-into-January time, meme? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Or light a candle in your window in the hopes that Himaruya would update again instead of leaving us behind like an 19th century light house keeper's wife whose husband has gone off to sea? ... Did you?

Enjoy part 347!

itt: learning languages online

Do you use any online programs or websites or apps to learn a language? What is the best/worst you've seen?

Re: itt: learning languages online

[diplopod]

I don't use any anymore (just textbooks and translating on my own), because the languages I'm learning aren't exactly popular, so there isn't really anything good out there for them. Finnish is especially bad, because a lot of sites try to use the same method for every language and that just... doesn't really work for Finnish. ;3;

I temporarily used Rosetta Stone for Japanese, because my mother bought it for me, but it's... eh. Not in any way, shape, or form worth the money. And Japanese is so popular you can find a billion other sites out there that do the same thing better and for free.

I've used Anki for flashcards, and it does exactly what it's meant to really well. It's just really boring. Flashcards are boring.

Lang-8 is great if you stick with it and can actually think up something to write about regularly, but you kind of have to be at a decent level already to use it effectively.

I used Livemocha for a while, and it was alright. Pretty much what you expect from a language learning site (but it has the same problem with Finnish that I mentioned before). I haven't been back in years, but I've heard its community's turned into a real cess pool.

And I hear great things about Duolingo, but it only has I think six(?) languages right now, so I haven't used it myself since it doesn't have anything I'm interested in.

Re: ITT: what are you working on?

working on some den/ned that was supposed to involve some passing back and forth of a cigarette during sex, but it's gotten kind of derailed. and it's in tthat pre-smut slump that stories seem to get where you can't get the characters past the yakking and into the boinking. plus i feel like it could use a stronger core than just "denmark likes the d". bleeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh.


but when i finish, it'll be the last old wip i need to clear out and i can go tackle some fresh projects


maybe get a side of history going with my smut, aw yeeeeeeaaaah.

Characters/Pairings Meme altered your opinion on

[(Anonymous)]

For better or for worse

Re: Characters/Pairings Meme altered your opinion on

[(Anonymous)]

evidently reverse psychology works wonders on me. i got into spamano right around the time when meme had a hateboner for it, recently started looking into rusprus because it was so often mentioned as a disliked ship, and now i find myself shipping usuk and spamano more on the same impetus. ditto face/main 8 in general - i liked them to begin with, mind, but the more they're mentioned as boring on meme, the more i find myself inclined to look for fanfic/art of them.

on the flip side, meme's interest in china/america and turkey/iceland got me into those ships. and to some degree i like the nordics because of the meme, though that is also because they've gotten a lot more development in the last year or two as opposed to early on.

It's Friday. This has been a problem for years. I mean I know we're dead, but it's always even worse on Fridays.

I don't even understand it, because wouldn't more people be staying up late because it's Friday? Or do other memers actually have lives?

Dead friday night doujinshi drop

Another one of those Den/Nor doujins where I don't really know the specifics of what's going on, but Norway looks cute while knitting and Denmark loses most of his clothes so I guess the details don't matter much. 14 pages and worksafe (unless you consider goofy dudes in their underpants nsfw?)

enjoy?

How much are you still into Hetalia?

[(Anonymous)]

How much do you still love the series? How actively do you participate in fandom? Is it your main fandom?

Re: How much are you still into Hetalia?

[(Anonymous)]

it's my main fandom, but at the moment i'm in a stew of extreme procrastination and am not participating in anything. unless you count reading fanfic and clicking the kudos button.

oh, and sacrificing memers to the great himaruya. if that's not proof of my devotion, what is?

[(Anonymous)]

What meme pairings have you seen happen over the years? I mean actual memers here. I was thinking about this last night when I realized that when I think about one person, another immediately pops into my head. Sort of like word association except with people.

[(Anonymous)]

none, since i don't follow twitter and such so i wouldn't know. i do recall hearing that two of the rpers started dating at some point, but i can't remember who. one of them was spain, but it's not our current spain, i think.

i feel bad for the japanese/chinese/other primarily foreign-language artists on tumblr. like, i see their work that they're posting themselves get a fraction of the number of notes that reposts of their own same work receive when it's posted on a popular english-speaking tumblr.

similarly, i'm astounded at how my own work gets more notes too than some of this really much better drawn art... does the english caption make that much of a difference?

probably what it is is that people look at the style and assume it's an unsourced repost from pixiv rather than that the source IS that tumblr.
