REBLOG IF IT'S OKAY FOR ME TO BOTHER YOU IF YOU'RE MY MUTUAL

The [tumblr] algorithm

Reblog stuff. That's it. The algorithm is the mutuals we made along the way.

Get delivering.

I’ve been waiting all year to post this.

Duolingo Sucks, Now What?: A Guide

Now that the quality of Duolingo has fallen (even more) due to AI and people are more willing to make the jump here are just some alternative apps and what languages they have:

"I just want an identical experience to DL"

Busuu (Languages: Spanish, Japanese, French, English, German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Korean)

"I want a good audio-based app"

Language Transfer (Languages: French, Swahili, Italian, Greek, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, English for Spanish Speakers)

"I want a good audio-based app and money's no object"

Pimsleur (Literally so many languages)

Glossika (Also a lot of languages, but minority languages are free)

*anecdote: I borrowed my brother's Japanese Pimsleur CD as a kid and I still remember how to say the weather is nice over a decade later. You can find the CDs at libraries and "other" places I'm sure.

"I have a pretty neat library card"

Mango (Languages: So many and the endangered/Indigenous courses are free even if you don't have a library that has a partnership with Mango)

Transparent Language: (Languages: THE MOST! Also the one that has the widest variety of African languages! Perhaps the most diverse in ESL and learning a foreign language not in English)

"I want SRS flashcards and have an android"

AnkiDroid: (Theoretically all languages, pre-made decks can be found easily)

"I want SRS flashcards and I have an iphone"

AnkiApp: It's almost as good as AnkiDroid and free compared to the official Anki app for iphone

"I don't mind ads and just want to learn Korean"

lingory

"I want an app made for Mandarin that's BETTER than DL and has multiple languages to learn Mandarin in"

ChineseSkill (You can use their older version of the course for free)

"I don't like any of these apps you mentioned already, give me one more"

Bunpo: (Languages: Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Korean, and Mandarin)

Remember not to praise Disney itself for diversity and inclusion in new Baymax show. You should be thanking animators and directors for pushing this idea which Disney was probably 100% opposed to in the first place. Remember leaked emails written to Alex Hirsh? Don't get fooled.

REESE'S PUFFS REESE'S PUFFS EAT EM UP EAT EM UP EAT EM UP REESE'S PUFFS REESE'S PUFFS Had fun in the Hazbin drawpile I hosted! I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Outis and Ishmael as different kinds of sirens you may find at sea

Two brothers growing up.

Working diligently together, doing the same jobs together…

Raised to be witch hunters, it’s what they’ve always wanted…

They meet a witch and follow them to the Demon Realm…

The brother supports his younger, even as he suffers from consuming palismen…

But then the elder falls in love and even has a child coming, Philip is unhappy;

He confronts husband and wife…

Shows his true intentions as they have a knife duel…

And sees his bloody eyes in the reflection of his knife.

The wife attempts to avenge her husband, casting a spell on the younger that may or may not have cast its mark…

And the surviving brother, he harvested all of his brother’s bones, so he could get another chance with him… Only to enjoy killing him over and over again. As he had the first time…

I'm basically drawing everyone at this point djdjdj
