That also goes for using ß as an aesthetic B.
On my old server, there was a character named ßillyßadass.
This never failed to make me laugh, because that letter is not pronounced like B. It is a sharp S.
That guy named himself SsillySsadass.
Also to people who you Σ as an aesthetic E
that’s an S too, Σo maybe check next time
oh boy
Д as an aesthetic A? Дon’t be a дumbass.
И as an aesthetic N? don’t be sillи.
П as another aesthetic N? stoп it.
У as an aesthetic Y? ty bad.
Ш or Щ as an aesthetic W? nope. it’s “sh” and “shch”!
Я as an aesthetic R? surprise! it’s “ya”.

the little mermaidfairy taleillustrationartlaura trowbridgevintagemermaidThe statue known as Angel of the Waters stands atop the Bethesda Fountain, one of Central Park’s most recognizable sights. Designed by Emma Stebbins in 1868 and unveiled in 1873, the statue was the first public work of art that New York City commissioned a woman to create. The angel, with a lily in her left hand, blesses the water with her right, a reference to the Gospel of John in which an angel is said to have brought healing powers to Jerusalem’s Pool of Bethesda. The work commemorates the opening of the Croton Aqueduct, which brought fresh water to the city in 1842.
