Another Random Thought

Because I need to think more on this next writing piece and I’ve been seeing this conversation around.

Harry absolutely would not call Uma “Shrimpy” under any circumstances. The guy could probably be threatened to death and still refuse to call her that, not only because it makes Uma upset, but also because of the implications behind it.

We were talking in English class the other day about what is in a name. Usually people don’t really think about it, we go by nicknames or ‘hey you’ or whatever. But in reality names are one of the few things in life that are actually ours. Names are a representation of where we came from and who we are, even when people create nicknames for themselves, its still representing them. To have someone else give you a nickname that has a very negative context (like Shrimpy) is to have your entire history replaced, and since we are made from our history, they erase you. There have been countless times in history where people force other names on people, and all these times have to do with the oppression of those who loose their names. Mal didn’t just give Uma a mean nickname, she degraded Uma into nothing more than a joke. She made it so people didn’t remember Uma for being Uma, they only remembered the humiliating prank. In short, Mal completely destroyed Uma’s identity.

Which is where another thought I’ve been having comes in. “What’s My Name” is a truly amazing song. I like to think that Harry was the one who came up with it during the times when it was just Uma and him. He did it to try and counteract the effects of Mal’s nickname, because even if he couldn’t exactly lay out what such a name did to Uma, he knew. He knew it wasn’t just a name, it was a way to destroy Uma and he would do everything in his power to keep such a thing from happening. So when Uma got a crew, Harry taught them the song and they sing it whenever Uma needs it to be sung. It’s not a song about pride, or being vain or anything else. It is a song to remind her that she is Uma, she has worth and power over herself and her actions. And because she is Uma, she can do anything, accomplish all her goals.

Shrimpy is nothing but a bucket of rotting shrimp. Uma though, Uma is a sea goddess, the captain of the Lost Revenge and leader of the Wharf Rats. Uma is capable of doing anything and Uma is going to get them all off the Isle.

Harry knows this, and I think he would sooner die then ever reduce Uma to a bucket of rotting shrimp.

If I get ten “accents” I’ll record myself saying all this!

Tumblr Accent Challenge!

So I did the accent challenge last night, and decided I was going to make a new one, since the challenge I did (which you can find here,) is five years old. So here’s the one I made, have fun!

Bonus: If you’re comfortable with it, do it as a video!

What’s your name & username?

Where are you from?

What’s the time where you are?

Pronounce the following words: Meme, Pepe, Doge, Sudoku, Espresso, Celtic, Açaí, Dr. Seuss.

What’s your favourite pizza place? Favourite pizza topping?

What’s your favourite dessert?

What’s your favourite food? What food do you hate?

What’s your favourite TV show? Which show were you into, but then got out of?

What brand is your phone?

Do you speak a second language?

How do you define a group of people when you’re talking to them? Do you say ‘guys,’ or ‘dudes’ or?

What Harry Potter house do you most identify with? If sorted by Pottermore, did you agree with the one you got?

Is there something you should be doing right now but are procrastinating?

Now that you’ve talked about what you need to be doing, go do it!

So this post of mine really took off it seems! Looks like there’s a lot more of these blogs than I thought, which is super cool! Also, I was at 400 followers last night (which is about 300 more than when I last checked) and now I’m on 470, so I felt like I should do something cool. So I thought “How about a blog with a list of as many ‘Humans are weird’ blogs as possible? That’d be pretty cool, and if it gets popular, then it’ll help some newer alien blogs with getting their content out there!”

So, uh, what do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? Let me know, please!

Here’s all the blogs I know of so far:

@space-australians

@human-aliens-collection

@humans-are-seriously-weird

@scifihumanheadcanons

@space-stuff-for-space-people

@humans-are-space-orcs

@what-are-even-humans

@justimaginethisweirdstuff

@pokemon-n-aliens

@odd-as-we-are

@stabbyroomba

@stabby-the-roomba

@humansarespaceorcs

@humansareweirdrebloged

@iwriteonthisblog (for your “humans are weird” series)

@spaceorc9

@space-australia-stories

@iron-sulfur-world

@onwardsuntiltheend

If you can think of any more blogs to add, let me know please!

Yeah, he came back for seconds.

(Since you know it's me anyway.) He had to eat his way out. Wanna know what's sadder than that?

He wanted more?

the spirals

so I had a feeling that I had seen the unus annus spiral beforehand,

(had to copy and paste the image)

even the way that the spiral slowly loops in itself before being blocked by wilford/ethan/ mark

this is also how the Wilford spiral starts; the clocks, the black (grey) and white seems so familiar. so what does this mean? Is this Markiplier TV? is this the idea that WIlford pitched? Or are we watching William slowly trickle into madness?
