“I can fix him” well I can force him to pick up my insufferable speech patterns
this as I understand it is the plot of almost nowhere

Tumblr’s favourite types of Guy*:
- Guy with improbably specialised skills that just happen to be exactly what’s needed
- Guy who knows a guy
- Guy who’s normal about things about which it’s not normal to be normal
- Guy who has no frame of reference
- Guy who should technically be dead, and it’s honestly an excellent question why he’s not
- Guy who’s a big fan of substances
- Guy who puts together sequences of words that have never been heard before and should never be heard again
- Guy who’s inexplicably always damp
- Guy who’s the most annoying human being you’ve ever met, but like in a sexy way
- Guy with no kids who somehow has single father energy
- Guy who’s competent, collected, and thoroughly put together, and who also has one extremely specific thing wrong with him
- Guy with fat fucking tits
* Note: a Guy is not necessarily a guy, though it helps

theres lots of first contact stories, and usually they mostly gloss over the establishment of a pidgin, like theyll mention it but its not the main focus, and thats fine, not every first contact story should be about linguistics, but it fills me with a longing for more stories about trying to bridge a communication gap like that, especially ones that question the ability for advanced abstract translation at all
not every first contact story should be about linguistics
dubious. every story should be about linguistics.

The strangest dream that I ever had was where I was talking to Strax the Sontaran from Doctor Who and he claimed that he had gotten into Christianity in a big way because he thought that it was “admirably cunning of humanity to lure their God down to Earth in a mortal body so that they could DESTROY HIM!”

you know what the anomalings would REALLY hate? that “what is a sandwich debate”. defeat the anomalings by insisting that a dumpling is a sandwich
Ah, the sandwich. Truly the most bilateral of foods.

Bilateral: I’ve connected the two dots.
Anomaling: You didn’t connect shit.
Bilateral: I’ve connected them.
