“Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind!”

Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

The hand, Pride and Prejudice (2005).

Me: :(

History: names ending in -ac in southwest france are likely gaulish or at least gallo-roman in origin (-acum > ac). -ac is a suffix highlighting that something is possessed. You could translate it by "belong to" or "with". It is prominent in the south mostly because of said gallo-roman influence in the region (multiple settlements to be found). In conclusion villages and towns' names are often anthropotoponyms, meaning we can trace back that the area belonged to a specific man 2000 years ago. For example mauriac means "the possesion of marius"

Me: :)

how does it feel being

Being feels okay most of the time. Sometimes it's overwhelming and I plunge into philosophical ponders about existing and not existing, but mostly I think it beats the alternatives.

Just trying to draw anything 

i love codependent relationships in fiction i love watching two messy people unforgivably in love with each other shatter the world around them i love seeing interpretations of love as a cosmic disastrous redemptive force i love watching love consume people whole i love looking at romantic relationships and going "oh that is so fucked up! good for them"

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

“studio ghibli romances be like “what if we didn’t kiss, but instead both spiritually matured as people because we met each other.”

“I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and a girl appear in the same feature, a romance must insue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mentally inspire eachother to live-if I am able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.” -hayao miyazaki
