Yes some languages like French or Thai or Japanese have nonsensical or weird spelling but you can already read English so you should be used to that by now

Look at Thai. This script is very old. Many of these sounds don’t exist like that anymore. Do not panic. You know how to read knife. You are battle hardened already.

Japanese kanji have many different sound and meaning. Too many. However, you can already deal with things that don’t make sense. You have conquered deer and dear. You have learned to deal with phishing and fishing. You can do this.

French have many silent letters, but so do we. Grab French by the throat. Choke it to death to assert dominance.

Choking the French language to death to assert dominance is the most British thing I’ve heard (affectionate)

What did you just call me

there is something magical about watching people writing English to complain about spelling in other languages, though, isn't there?

this is why commas are so

Where do you think the comma goes

I had a nightmare last night.

I was a reporter.

Finally, here is Part 2 as an addition to the original post. Enjoy.

I spent a lot of time thinking about The Rules, and wondering how things worked. Thank you for reading.

Part 3 coming soon.

Ah, there’s the rest of it.

Thanks muchly.

I don't care about Dungeon Meshi otherwise but "Tallmen" is SUCH an elegant solution to placing humans in a fantasy setting that it's still blowing my mind. Just the term itself is enough to instantly recontextualize humans. They're no longer the default race. They're those big goobers with long legs, striding about all the time. I can so easily envision much more interesting relationships between humans and non-humans because of it. Like perhaps "tallmen" are stereotyped as shepherds by other races because they can watch over their flocks better, or as vagabonds because they are better suited to long travel on foot. And of course, they don't *literally* have to be taller than everybody else, they were just the tallest around whenever the label became the norm, or something like that. I just feel like it's so much better than what I've seen in settings like D&D that go "and humans are the... adaptable, generalist people :)!"

Also, Dungeon Meshi heavily implies directly states in the Adventure’s Bible that the myth of trolls is how half-foots once viewed tallmen and told stories about them.

EDIT: I have been corrected by @nat-wa, it is directly stated, not simply implied that tallmen are the source of troll myths.

I made something cursed but hopefully helpful to artists.

Edit: here’s the bird wing tutorial I mentioned in the captions.

I used the phrase "waiting on tenterhooks" and then thought "what the hell is a tenterhook".

It's these things! So when you're waiting on tenterhooks, you're stretched tight like a piece of cloth. Very evocative, now that I know what it means.

this one is just a quick summary of Hellsing lmao

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
