For now, having the ears of men, Sauron with many arguments gainsaid all that the Valar had taught; and he bade men think that in the world, in the east and even in the west, there lay yet many seas and many lands for their winning, wherein was wealth uncounted. And still, if they should at the last come to the end of those lands and seas, beyond all lay the Ancient Darkness. ‘And out of it the world was made. For Darkness alone is worshipful, and the Lord thereof may yet make other worlds to be gifts to those that serve him, so that the increase of their power shall find no end.’

And Ar-Pharazôn said: “Who is the Lord of the Darkness?”

Then behind locked doors Sauron spoke to the King, and he lied, saying: ‘It is he whose name is not now spoken; for the Valar have deceived you concerning him, putting forward the name of Eru, a phantom devised in the folly of their hearts, seeking to enchain Men in servitude to themselves. For they are the oracle of this Eru, which speaks only what they will. But he that is their master shall yet prevail, and he will deliver you from this phantom; and his name is Melkor, Lord of All, Giver of Freedom, and he shall make you stronger than they.’

HELLO FRENDS. THIS WEEKEND, I BACK.

I made a significant dent in my coursework (and had significant dents filled in my teeth), I have a live drawing session to attend tomorrow and some social stuff and THEN I WILL NEED TO FILL THE VOID IN MY SOUL WITH DARK LORDS.

There’s a different live streaming site I’m excited to try– if it works better than Livestream I’ll be making a switch both on here and Patreon because LS is a hot mess and they want huge monies for access to relatively basic features and I ain’t about that.

Also I’ll probably do some drawing requests when I get back, heads up.

masteroftheseas:

i have this horrible habit of getting amazing m!a’s and saying to myself “omg omg omg it’s so good i have to make sure i set aside time for it and do my drafts first so i can enjoy this guilt free’ and then guess whaT HAPPENS AHAHAHA D:

there is one i still have hoarded involving osse and a bby-version of himself. and… looking back there are a lot of asks i forget to answer sorry guys i promise i don’t intentionally not-answer things oops.

but please feel free to enable me if you have other ideas of things u want to do to this shit.

And also because whenever you get a cool M!A we immediately start a crack RP in chat and eventually go “oh man we should make this a real thread!!” and then just keep chat RPing…

contrary to popular belief, someone who is fluent in their second language (L2) is unlikely to slip into their first language (L1) in these circumstances:

if someone just said something to them in L2 (this a big unconscious cue, and you’d be really unlikely to respond in L1 right after that)

when swearing in the middle of a sentence (e.g. “oh merde, i forgot my keys!”)

during sex

when speaking to someone they normally speak to in L2

it is slightly more common in these circumstances:

swearing, as long it’s not part of a sentence (e.g. they might just mutter “merde” if they forgot their keys)

if they’re surprised (especially if falling/tripping or experiencing sudden pain!)

when speaking to someone they normally speak to in L1

in their sleep or talking to themselves

when very disoriented, such as when concussed or on certain drugs

that being said, it is very common for people to intentionally use their first language in front of people who don’t speak it for a variety of reasons (they might use a short expression they only know in L1, call their partner pet names, dirty talk during sex because their partner finds it attractive) – but this is on purpose!

also this doesn’t account for people who grew up in an environment where people often mix multiple languages in their speech (e.g. spanglish or franglais) – in that case, they may accidentally drop an L1 swear into an L2 sentence, though they’ll still generally stick to L2 when speaking to people who only speak that language
