literally how could I ever be normal when Tango ended s8 alone- and likely dead- drifting in space, and then started s9 by building an Astral Library
how can I be normal about the guy who threw his life on the line for his friends coming back and barely speaking to them. the guy who knows the cold of the void now choosing to stay in ice and darkness with ghosts. How Could I Be Normal About This

Remember when I pitched the concept of Chuuya developing a fear of lightning/electricity after the events of Storm Bringer and the Dragon's Head Conflict?
Thunder doesn't bother him, he deals with loud noises on the daily. No, it's the lightning itself that gets to him.
So obviously the solution is to close his eyes and wait for the storm to pass while berating himself because he should be better than this.

I was today years old when I realised (thankfully on my own) that the English noun moron (meaning “idiot”) comes from the Greek adjective μωρός (morós), meaning “foolish”.
The word, which is used since ancient times, has evolved to have several additional usages besides that one.
The feminine version μωρή (morí) has become a generic vocative word which expresses disrespect and is not necessarily questioning the addressed woman’s intelligence in specific.
The masculine vocative form μωρέ (moré) has become a very generic exclamative term that can add colour to a phrase regardless of meaning. For example, τι λες μωρέ; (ti les moré - what the heck/ on earth are you saying, could work in a similar way to express bafflement at hearing something strange) but also μωρέ είμαι κουρασμένος (moré íme kurazménos - well, you see, I am tired, can be used in a similar way to soften the phrase that implies avoidance, like softening the rejection of a proposal to go out). It can regulate the exclamation in a sentence in a myriad of such ways.
But an even more interesting case is the neuter form of the word, which has turned into a noun, and is now the most common everyday word for the baby [το μωρό(ν) - to moró(n)], because a baby of course does not have well developed perception yet.
In other words, we earnestly call our babies morons by default and I think that’s beautiful.

The Netherlands (Holland) 🇳🇱
When the Euro was being designed, they intentionally placed illustrations of fictitious, non-existent bridges upon each paper note, as to not show priority toward one nation or another.
Or at least, they were fictitious... until the Netherlands decided to build all of them...

A stupid reason the Saxons hated the vikings
The vikings and Danes washed once a week. They looked after their hair. They braided it.
This resulted in a lot of Saxon women sleeping with the Danes.
Which Saxon men did not like.
Because Saxon men had low grooming standards and were mangy.
