“Folks, there’s nothing left from the Linguistics division. We lost all the indigenous languages collection: the recordings since 1958, the chants in all the languages for which there are no native speakers alive anymore, the Curt Niemuendaju archives: papers, photos, negatives, the original ethnic-historic-linguistic map localizing all the ethnic groups in Brazil, the only record that we had from 1945. The ethnological and archeological references of all ethnic groups in Brazil since the 16th century… An irreparable loss of our historic memory. It just hurts so much to see all in ashes.”
This is a tragedy. I know I have some folks that are indigenous or who work with indigenous languages and cultures. The Brazil Natural Museum folks are trying to reach out to anyone that might have pictures, documents, anything, in hopes of being able to rebuild at least something.
Mutuals, can you please reblog this even if it’s not really in line with your blog theme? This is really important and deserves to get spread around. Information and knowledge like this should not be lost, and this, well, I can’t think of a better word except tragedy. 😦
I want to read about someone female (so I can identify with them) who is treasured and petted, and wrapped in something soft and pretty and warm, and cuddled and petted some more, and then gently kissed on the temple and told that she is safe because the person doing the kissing will personally protect her from all threats.
Any fandom, recs to original fiction also welcome.
Hey post whatever links you dig up, I want in
I will!!!
@scifiwriterthings, I don’t think a general healthy relationship will scratch the itch but it’s actually okay if there’s unhealthy things that happen on either side of this very specific cuddling/comfort kind of setup. Like I can imagine a lot of h/c fics that might work so long as the character receiving comfort is female, and is wrapped in something soft and warm and cuddled at some point during the proceedings. The other stuff is maybe a little specific and I can be flexible on the details lol
I’d read the heck out of that book, but in the meantime you can have half a Kanan and Hera scene that isn’t done and will probably never be done. Probably not comforty enough? Mostly fits the bill, though. Mildly NSFW, so under the cut just in case:
Still Theron had been convinced and Lana was now inconvenienced. Yet any reason to visit a tropical isle with lush beaches instead of a filthy pub, or months on a old musty ship was a plus in Lana’s books.
“It is a shame they not only let slaves train as Sith but half breeds as well. Your apprentice is accomplished Gravus no doubt but how can she truly understand what it is be Sith when she was raised in bondage and her parentage unknown.”
Dinner is not going well for Lak in way, shape, or form.
Oohh, thanks. I’m feeling generous, so have two sentences:
It seemed like everyone who survived deployment to Hoth came away with a ghost story of some kind – odd cries in the night, bizarre electromagnetic interference, vague humanoid figures in the peripheries of one’s vision. Those stories most definitely did not play a role in Quinn’s maneuverings to stay off of Hoth; every sighting was easily explained in mundane, scientific terms.
Quinn is absolutely NOT sitting in the dark and freaking himself out. Nope.
Lord I feel like so many folks have been tagged already so feel free to ignore but…. @wrathetc , @cinlat , @salaciouscrumpet , and anyone else who feels like it.
I was actually tagged by @melissagt and @kunoichi-ume as well, in two other threads, so I’m going to put them all in here. Especially since I actually got a good deal of writing done last night. My thanks to you all, ladies!
This is from the next chapter of The Lost Medallion. I’m not even going to bother with context.
Torian paused, then glanced over Sadio’s shoulder when the little defender droid failed to attack. It wasn’t until Sadio turned too that she realized why the scene looked so peculiar. “Is there a Wookiee under my table?”
Then from a random chapter of Heart on a Trigger that has yet to get a number.
“The creepy droid found a way into the Spire. Havoc Squad is running point while Kaliyo offers backup.” Fynta’s brow shot up, and Koth sighed. “Yeah, tell me about it. I told Zolah it was a bad idea to put those two together, but she called it strategy. What do I know, I’m just a decorated soldier.”
And finally, from a newly finished piece involving my new Jedi dude, and @kunoichi-ume‘s trooper Jurr.
Trev laughed and rubbed his chest. “Then, maybe our next meeting will be less traumatic.”
Thank you all so much for the tags! It was nice to have things ready for them. 😀 I’m going to tag @salaciouscrumpet tag back @kunoichi-ume (because I know you’ve got things) and @aliyamirat I have no idea who has been tagged recently and who hasn’t. My tags are open to all by now.
I’m working on about five things at once right now, but the most recent and non-spoilery “last sentence” I wrote was this:
On
second thought, it seemed like now might be the perfect time for a little
judicious panicking.
I’m gonna be a troll and not tell you which of my many stories it’s from (although I will say it’s from one of my ongoing fanfics rather than my original WIP).
I was tagged by a bunch of people including @riajade01, @inyri and @cinlat (apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone who tagged me!).
When characters A and B are facing some danger and character A puts out an arm to protect character B
Good variations:
-Character B doesn’t realize the danger until character A puts out his or her arm -Character A isn’t the larger or stronger character but still takes responsibility for character B’s safety -Character A doesn’t stand a chance against the danger -Character A continues talking like there isn’t anything wrong while standing between character B and the threat -Character A doesn’t get along with character B and/or vice versa -The danger is comically minor -Character A has seemed helpless or bumbling but is now revealing inner depths and hidden strength
other good variations:
-character B is injured
-character A is injured but trying to be protective anyway
-character B gets annoyed when they realize what character A is doing

Things … do not go exactly as planned. Because of course they don’t.
Once again, note to self: “side arm” and “side piece” have very different meanings, and one should not be confused with the other when attempting to write serious fiction.
