WAYS TO SUPPORT/BE AN ALLY

Touch? In MY Stanley Parable?? That’s not supposed to happen. I do believe an out-of-map crisis is in order

disclaimer: I am east asian. if anyone who is not white sees anything wrong with my phrasing, inaccuracies, or insensitivity, or something I missed, please feel free to add on. I'm just one person with one perspective; none of what I say should be taken as The Singular way to draw an Asian character. if you havent done so already, please take the effort to expand your view of Asian culture outside this one tutorial.

if a white person reblogs this and adds something stupid I'm going to bite and kick you like a wild animal

How to use Thou, Thee, Thy, and Thine correctly

For SOME REASON (*looks pointedly at Agnes Nutter*) this comes up a lot in the Good Omens fandom and I thought it might be useful to have a reference out there for folks who are interested!

(And to be clear: I personally do not think it is a big deal if you don’t get it right, I’m not here for judging anyone’s ability to correctly use pronouns that went out of fashion several centuries ago. But I know people like to know this stuff.)

1. Thou & Thee

The difference here is the same as the difference between I & Me or She & Her - the first one is the subject of the sentence (doing the action) and the second one is the object of the sentence (having the action done to them). So the pattern is:

“I gave her a flaming sword” vs “She gave me a flaming sword.”

“Thou gave me a flaming sword.” vs “I gave thee a flaming sword”

“Thou gave her a flaming sword” vs “She gave thee a flaming sword”

2. Thy & Thine

Similarly, the difference here is the same as between My & Mine and Her & Hers.

“I gave away my flaming sword!”

“Thou gave away thy flaming sword?!” (Greek Chorus: ”She gave away her flaming sword??!”)

“It was mine to give away!”

“And it was also thine to keep…” (Greek Chorus: “And hers to lose, and hers to seek…”)

3. BUT SOMETIMES THE AESTHETIC

You do sometimes use “thine” in places where grammatically it should be “thy”, for the same reason as the most famous example of using “mine” in a place where it should be “my”:

MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY OF THE COMING OF THE LORD

– simply because “eyes” starts with a vowel and “my eyes” is slightly more difficult to sing when you’ve got important grape-trampling to be getting on with. So a Mighty Angel Of The Lord who was feeling particularly poetic and hoping to inspire a few songs might appear before some poor goatherder and declare:

“Avert thine eyes oh mortal, lest thy sight be robbed from thee by glory!”

But honestly, just like most modern songs are quite happy using “my eyes”, I personally think if you just stick to the one rule to avoid confusion, it’s also fine:

“Avert thy eyes oh mortal, lest thy sight be– wait where art thou going get back here I’ve got a message to deliver– oh bugger.”

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

How many times must I tell you, Stanley? If you saw my true form then your tiny, human mind would simply implode! I will not be responsible for your brain turning to mush, I refuse. Just drop it, won’t you?

Finally finished drawing my design for the Narrator’s true form! They’re so gender <3

“Snape was just a fuckboy who was bitter he got friendzoned,” says the fan who romanticizes the Marauders and conveniently forgets that the only character to ever act entitled to Lily’s romantic attention was James Potter, who bullied Snape from the start simply because Snape was Lily’s friend and male. Like, if anyone was a fuckboy…

A truth come out

"Stanley?"

Tik tok edits drove me insane enough to do this.

Inspired by SAD-ist YouTube series, "Clock Out."

They don’t like how you’re suddenly their height. But they resist the urge to increase their own size in response :)

I wish to hug your Narrator and spin because I am so full of love for him! He and I are the same height!!
