does brian murphy have an addiction to playing little guys? bc he's been a goblin (short, green, feral), a rat (small, furry, feral), and a frog-prince (short, green, respectable). and that's just off the top of my head. there could be more, secret little guys! who knows what he does in his free time.
So like i've heard english is 3 languages in a trenchcoat pretending to be one is that true?
it's greatly overexaggerated.
english is structurally a germanic language. it had a large influx of french vocabulary following the norman conquest, and it's picked up a lot of lexical items from other languages too, sometimes with their original morphology still attached (like pluralizing "addendum" as "addenda" the latin way, rather than english +(e)s plural).
so it's more like one language that really likes to accessorize and maybe kept the fancy suit that old norman left at its house one time.
interesting how it's always "iranian regime" and never "israeli regime" and definetly never "iran, where the us and uk overthrew a democratically elected leader because the iranian parliment voted to nationalise iranian oil to stop foreign countries profiting off of their resources, with the western powers' actions ultimatly leading to the islamic republic of iran that they so fear"
all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.
hope you’re having a good morning! it’s a lovely day to remember that Harrow said Gideon’s name as she died even though she physically couldn’t remember it at the time
One thing I've not seen yet in discussions of Kipperlilly's reasons for hating Riz is how much it parallels the feelings of people born into priviledged majorities about 'diversity hiring'.
The way she thinks that having a tragic backstory makes you a better adventurer, when all it really does is hurt you, is exactly the way I've seen white cishet people complain that being in a minority gets you priority for job offers/grants.
The idea that having pain in your past from discrimination or trauma is worth it because you get 'more opportunities' in the working world from being a POC or LGBTQ+ or disabled is a genuine belief that some priviledged people hold. And to me that really mirrors Copperbitch Kipperbottle's jealousy of Riz both having a dead father and ESPECIALLY coming from a poor background.
