I don't like this for so many reasons. Anglophone (usually USAmerican) writers often take foreign words and misrepresent them in their books, misinforming a whole new wave of readers in the process. They regularly do this with Greek as well. These languages haven't resisted assimilation and suppression so they can be used as USAmerican accessories in 2023.
[turns on megaphone] if they cast a white actor to play Damian Wayne and also pull the shit that the Morrison run did to ruin Talias character, I will personally fight James Gunn in unarmed combat in a Waffle House parking lot. That is all.
I have never nerded out so much in my life. I am currently sitting in a 700 year old Scottish castle, in the library, where the books are all at least 100 years old. The ancient clock on the mantlepiece over the fireplace just chimed quarter past the hour and the atmosphere is thick with history.
I should return to the sitting room across the landing past the grand staircase and reception, where my mum is waiting for me, having drinks before we are escorted down to the dungeon for a traditional Scottish a la carte dinner. Yes. The dungeon. Its now a luxury restaurant. But they kept the original Walls, archways, and a suit of armour.
What even is this place? Who knew that castles could be converted into hotels? That our twin bed suite still retains the original stone walls from the 13th century build. This place is beautiful and seeped in history and I am in heaven. I want to live here. I never want to leave.
Tomorrow I get to meet the falcons and owls and other birds of prey they keep in the grounds. This place is a fairytale come true.
