I’m a slut for AUs and it’s literally in the title of the month.  What can I say?  I saw an AUpportunity and I took it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Celebrate August with a month of Miraculous AUs – any pair don’t care – we’re here to bask in coffeeshops and alternate timelines.  They’re enemies, they’re neighbors, oh my god they’re roommates. 

This calendar may be boring but AUs aren’t!

Tell your friends!  Tell your co-workers!  Tell your local barista!

because we’re about to get alternate universe up in this bitch.

ok but like when did self-sacrifice become synonymous with death? writers seem to have forgotten that people can make personal sacrifices for the greater good without giving their lives. plots about self-sacrifice and selflessness don’t always have to end in death. suffering doesn’t have to be mourning. you can create drama and emotional depth on your show without killing everyone. learn to explore the meaning of living rather than dying

Death. Is. NOT. The. Only. Way. To. Advance. The. Narrative.

Fun things to sacrifice for your loved ones in your free time that don’t include death and actually set up for a whole new season of high level drama:

– humanity (mostly applicable to sci-fi/supernatural genre)
– memories (mostly applicable to sci-fi/supernatural genre)
– love for that special someone (mostly applicable to sci-fi/supernatural genre)
– emotions (mostly applicable to sci-fi/supernatural genre)
– rank/position/
– yourself/your brain/your skills (give yourself over to bad guys and become their brainwashed agent so your loved ones live)
– years of bloody ruthless traditions to make way for peace (hi lexa and fuck jroth tbh)
– freedom (includes that of speech/mind/will)
– your grandpa’s fortune
– hell even material possessions have that girl sacrifice her goddamn house so they can pay off her gf’s student loans or whatever juST STOP KILLING CHARACTERS TO FURTHER YOUR PLOT

Other things to sacrifice:

– your most sought-after goal

– a strongly-held belief or conviction

– your own chance at happiness

other fun things to sacrifice:

-a finger
-an eye
-10-20 years of your life
-some of your vitality or dexterity
-your ability to magically see in the dark
-your proficiency in battle axes
-your good looks
-your memory of the man who killed your wife
-everything but your head

hey here’s a great thing to sacrifice to advance the narrative:

– your revenge.

because revenge plots have been weirdly enshrined, especially in the action genre, and imo if you can’t concieve of your action hero giving up on revenge for the greater good they’re not much of a hero are they.

“may all your wounds be mortal”

This is beautiful.

Though, it’s not “all your wounds” (tutte le tue ferite) but rather “May my wound” (la mia ferita).

It’s feminine singular and I do kinda love the personalization of the writing.

But it’s also … it’s kind of grammatically incorrect but it’s also very colloquial and dialectal.

Che la mia ferita sia mortale is more than just a saying … it’s almost an invocation.

It’s also less ‘may’ and more ‘that’ so it should be more like …

That my wound be lethal

Do you know of a way of saying “sibling” in Latin aside from frater and soror, like something gender neutral to refer to a nb person? If there isn’t one, what would be the best way to make one?

terpsikeraunos:

thoodleoo:

unfortunately there isn’t really a way to say that in classical latin, which is what i’m familiar with. you could probably do it as a 3rd declension common gender noun (i.e. one that covers multiple genders) but i’m not really great at coming up with latin words. @interretialia is much better with neo-latin stuff so i’ll point you his way!

i found something that might work! consors, literally sharing the same fortune. it can refer to a brother or sister, and it’s a 3rd declension (substantive) adjective, so it doesn’t have separate masculine/feminine forms. it can also mean comrade. the downside: this is only for classical latin; it starts to mean “wife” in medieval latin (which is how we eventually got the word “consort”).

Make a Vampire character who’s lived through several waves of the common language’s development and can’t let go if certain gramatical habbits from different time eras.

So like, thou ist a horrid creature, an absolute cur, but go off i guess

… can i use that phrase irl?

Absolutely you can and I encourage more uses of similar phrases that just completely fuck up the chronology of the english langauge. I wanna hear 15th century english mixed with surfer speak mixed with current age internet lingo like all the time.

Like this? Well my dude, seems like a weasel hath not such a deal of splean as you’re toss’d with. Chill already, you’re not valid.

You are an unrighteous, bastardly gullion. Heaven truly
knows that thou art false as hell. When you die, I will face God and walk
backwards into hell just so that I can beat your ass in the afterlife too.

I love the idea of a vampire who’s language travels back in time as they get pissed.
