just got into gorillaz so I have to share
noodle having yellow skin, constantly being depicted with the japanese imperialist flag, talking in fake broken english despite knowing literally every language fluently and putting on the "weird japan" persona, russel and del's racist caricatures being "thuggish black americans" and del having big pink lips and russel holding a literal noose in official gorillaz art, murdoc dressing as a nazi, having green skin and being depicted as an evil deceitful power hungry asshole, being a perverted and predatorial "bisexy" creep that has been sexually assaulted multiple times in canon and played off as a joke, having a poorly written background of having an abusive father and growing up in a religious home which is a constant theme when it comes to songs about plastic beach, and there's a lot more i can't fit into a single post and really wanna talk about but it's incredibly hard for me bc im shit with words but basically death to the author is a real and valid thing and i would be very much willing to clarify any questions regarding this. it is about time the gorillaz fanbase has talked about this because jamie and damon have yet to give a true apology on this stuff and yes i am aware jamie has made pro blm statements recently and their music is mostly about social commentary but that social commentary means nothing if they still do shit like this and i despise it.

As somone who studyed latin at school for five years, here are my tips for all of you who want to teach themselfes how to speak latin:
Forget everything you know about learning a new language. Latin and Greek are different in structure from any laguage you might know. It doesn´t work like English or French or German. The translating is much more mathematical.
Grab a vocabulary book.
Study every vocab in there (it should be about 2.5k).
Realize that there is no word for yes or no but about ten related to killing and dying
Take a look at the grammar. All of it.
Study it until it´s stuck in your brain. You´ll have to remember every little piece of it. Except for maybe the NcI. I never needed that.
At this point you will probably notice that it is almost impossible to learn how to actually speak Latin. Give up that dream. Not even my Latin teacher was able to do that.
Grab any Text from Ovid or Ceasar.
Never just translate from the start to the end of a sentence. Always look for the predicate first and build your sentence up on that. Expect very, very long sentences.
Now you will realize that even translating is a ton lot more difficult than yout thought and you will probbably fail, even if you know all the vocabs and grammar. Again, learning Latin doesn´t work like lerning French. You have to analyse every letter because one small “e” instead of an “a” could change the whole translation.
Hopefully you have now noticed that teaching Latin to yourself within a few months won´t work and believing so was naive.
You could probably learn it with a proper teacher and lots of time, but then it won´t be fun anymore and you will suffer just like all of us students did learning it at school.
Forget about the idea.
Cry.
