Not sure if this has been already posted here but I came across this video on YouTube. It uncovers how linguists trace back origins of different languages and deals with language evolution in general. Have a look at it!

All the way from Virginia?? What made you move to the other side of the country?

He’s got a few different reasons for making such a drastic move. He’ll tell you that its just because he needed a job, though.

//sorry for the crap photo quality tho..

y’know those videos of babies trying lemons and other foods for the first time?

imagine that, but with full grown clone troopers

Watercolors are cool

Can someone just………………. explain French to me?

All the way from Virginia to Oregon! How long was that trip? Overland or did you take the Panama route?

Which went a little something like this:

^Richmond VA.

Then down to a Virginian port city.

Where he would travel by boat,

Down to Panama, where he would take the trans-Panamanian railway to the Pacific coast,

In a train that probably looked like this one^. Then back on a boat up to-

San Fransico. Where he stayed for a few weeks with a friend looking for a job.

And when he did, probably caught a steamer up the coast and upstream like this one^. To Kinnik, which looks kinda like this:

He’s ready for it to be over.

The overland route to Oregon was the more popular, but Alfred’s got a bit of money; so he can afford to go the less physically grueling southern passage. Can’t find a source, but it probably took at least/more than a month.

I see a lot of people who tell young people–especially young people who are heading into college–that they should “do what they love.” And they’re right. You should do what you love.

But there’s a world of difference between doing what you love for you, and doing what you love for a paycheck. 

I went to undergrad for graphic design and 3-D design–art and more art, I usually say–and I loved it. You know what I didn’t love? Trying to collect my fees from clients. Trying to meet unrealistic, over-simplified or over-specific briefs from people who didn’t know what they were talking about. Coming home, having worked creatively all day, with no creative juice left for the things I wanted to do.

You know what I would tell you instead? Do something that you can be interested in, with people you like.

You don’t have to love it. Loving your work can be a lot, and it often means you have to live in your job 24/7. Some people can do that. Not everyone can, or should.  But if you can find work that’s interesting enough that it doesn’t feel tedious, and people you can enjoy spending your 9-5 with, and you can make money, that’s great! It means you can do the things you love for you.

I’m in law school now. It’s interesting work, and difficult, and I like doing it. I like how complicated it gets, and I like the stories it tells. But I don’t come home and read law journals for fun. I come home, and I sculpt, and I draw, and I paint, and I read. I do these things for me.

And I love it. 

percy’s true feelings in this scene 

Some times post the San Valentine strips…

Aka after Feli fixed the whole misunderstanding with Germany and had a good talk with Rod…

@currymuttonpizza is a wonderful Austria and I love doing weird stuff with them. My Feliciano is 200% supportive of Austria’s feelings for a certain german and really wants to help him out, insert weird shanenigans and headcanons. And someday I will write a proper essay on why I headcanon so strongly that Feliciano has huge commitment issues after the whole HRE fiasco. 

Just a lazy couple of old men ready to enjoy a nice show.
