i almost forgot this blessed video exists

Wait there’s another one of these

If memory serves, what happened was that someone took a video of a Ukrainian military band playing some other song and dubbed a realistic-sounding version of A Cruel Angel’s Thesis over it. This proceeded to be everywhere on the internet, enough so that the band that put on the original performance caught wind of it, and decided to capitalize on its popularity by actually performing the song. This video is the latter version.

just wondering but why can’t something cute and childish exist without there being a subculture devoted to making it edgy or sexual. like? kirby doesn’t need to be drawn 3,000 times as an eldritch monster with a hyperrealistic mouth and demon eyes. there really isn’t a need for there to be any hentai of the animal crossing villagers, like at all. and alola vulpix definitely does NOT need a 3D butt mouse pad!!!!!!!!!

It’s called copula deletion, or zero copula. Many languages and dialects, including Ancient Greek and Russian, delete the copula (the verb to be) when the context is obvious.

So an utterance like “you a bitch” in AAVE is not an example of a misused you, but an example of a sentence that deletes the copular verb (are), which is a perfectly valid thing to do in that dialect, just as deleting an /r/ after a vowel is a perfectly valid thing to do in an upper-class British dialect.

What’s more, it’s been shown that copula deletion occurs in AAVE exactly in those contexts where copula contraction occurs in so-called “Standard American English.” That is, the basic sentence “You are great” can become “You’re great” in SAE and “You great” in AAVE, but “I know who you are” cannot become “I know who you’re” in SAE, and according to reports, neither can you get “I know who you” in AAVE.

In other words, AAVE is a set of grammatical rules just as complex and systematic as SAE, and the widespread belief that it is not is nothing more than yet another manifestation of deeply internalized racism.

This is the most intellectual drag I’ve ever read.

LAUGHING BUT CRYING INSIDE

Every time I watch the siege at Helm’s Deep I get so annoyed. Yes, arm ten-year old boys who can’t see over the battlements or through a helmet, and old men who struggle to lift a sword. Meanwhile you have a cave full of brawny abled bodied adult women who’ve been lifting barrels of mead, wrestling animals on farms, and chopping wood all their lives, relegated to cowering in a cave waiting to be slaughtered.
