N…o…..

No…

NO

I wasn’t going to say anything, but hot damn this pisses me off. ONCE A WORD HAS ENTERED A LANGUAGE, VARIATION IS BOUND TO HAPPEN. WHETHER THE PERSON WHO COINED THE TERM WANTS IT OR NOT. FUCK HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SAID BEFORE PEOPLE GET IT? IT’S NOT LIKE WE HAVE DIALECTS AND ACCENTS OR ANYTHING.

LIKE SERIOUSLY THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ONLY ENCOUNTERED ‘GIF’ THROUGH TEXT AND READ IT AS HAVING A HARD /G/ AND THERE ARE OTHERS WHO READ IT AS HAVING A SOFT /G/ OR HEARD WHAT THE GUY WANTED ITS PRONUNCIATION TO BE AND CHANGED IT ACCORDINGLY. BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN THE HARD /G/ PRONUNCIATION IS ANY LESS VALID BECAUSE REAL PEOPLE USE BOTH AND THEY’RE BOTH MUTUALLY INTELLIGIBLE. FUCKIN’ A PEOPLE.

NOT TO MENTION THAT, YEAH, THERE ARE LANGUAGES THAT WOULD HAVE THE NATURAL PHONOLOGICAL CONSTRUCTION THAT MAKES THE SOFT /G/ OCCUR BEFORE AN /I/ OR /E/. BUT THAT DOESN’T NECESSARILY APPLY TO ENGLISH WHERE WE HAVE ‘GIFT.’

GOD DAMN THIS NEEDS TO STOP BEING A THING TO BE DEBATED ABOUT. THERE’S MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO TALK ABOUT THAN HOW TO PRONOUNCE A GODDAMNED ACRONYM.

Chances are, if you’ve logged into tumblr within the past week you’ve noticed that there’s an awful lot of Pokemon splicing going on. I was particularly fond of the cute Koffing splices so I made plushies of Chanfing and Raifing *u*

I don’t have room to keep these (they’re bigger than they look in the pictures!), but I’m not sure how much I’d want to sell them for. If you’re interested in adopting one/both shoot me an offer, I also have a trade wishlist~

Abandoned Amusement Park in New Orleans

I love this on so many levels.

Wow. places like this really exist. Also the haunted house reminds me of this Japanese movie I saw called House. Freaking screaming cat!

Possibly the most horrifying fusion ever.

casualcynic:

So my mom and I have been working the same waitress job for 5-6 years now. She had been waitressing years before, but this is recently. Anyway, about… 15 minutes ago this guy she waited on left and told her to take care. Just that. Prior to this she had talked to him about Italy. Her people are from Florence, this and that, and she said she’s never been. She’s got 8 years of art education and she’s working a waitress job. It’s pretty… Sad and disappointing, I guess. Her and my father divorced 6 years ago and she hasn’t had a real job ever. Just been stuck in a small town she’s not from.

This man who we have never seen before tipped her 1000 dollars for a trip to Italy. Walked out, not another word.

…you know. Just when I start to lose faith in humanity….Hm.
