I think "they don't even have X" is one of those memes that's actually funnier in its original context than in anything that's been done with it subsequently. Like, in its original context, this is a joke about a man who has lived his entire adult life alone in a swamp cold-reading the atmosphere of a corporate workplace and deciding that appealing to the receptionist's sense of working-class solidarity is going to get him in the door, and it fucking works.

i’m thinking that maybe these fellas and their people simply don’t bother with naming in the ravenous times of their universe. unlike in the early days of the universe, most spend their time alone, and most have no siblings or friends to accompany them, no reason to distinguish another apart from food or threat.
or maybe i’m just making all that up in order to get away with naming most of these fellas after titles (chronicler, stormbringer, alchemist, firewalker...). the idea is certainly jiving though...
bonus ibuprofen memes + comic dialogue under the cut
(1)
SOL: I am called ‘Sol’. What are your names?
[not-yet-ALCHEMIST] & [not-yet-STORMBRINGER]: “’Names’?”
CHRONICLER: “Mine is ‘Chronicler’. But, you had a sibling, did you not?”
SOL: “How—yes.”
CHRONICLER: “So then you had one to name you.”
CHRONICLER: “For the vast majority of travelers in the Universe, they experience no such thing.”
SOL: what
(2)
CHRONICLER: In the times of our ancestors, those who discovered novel creations were awarded the title of Alchemist, an—
[not-yet-ALCHEMIST]: Ooh!
[not-yet-ALCHEMIST]: Alchemist! I like that name!
CHRONICLER: ...You are aware that this is a title and not a name, yes?
ALCHEMIST: I want it!

Interesting how Rick Deckard infiltrated a strip club using the same strategy that Shrek and Donkey would later use to infiltrate the Fairy Godmother's factory

[ID: The Shrek meme of Shrek saying commiseratingly to Donkey, "They don't even have dental", now edited so he says, "They don't even understand that the Raksura have 7 genders.". End ID.]

I have to figure out a way when someone says "okay we'll give you a call when [we hear back from your insurance / we get your results / we have an opening / etc.]!" to quickly and firmly be like "okay well I will not pick up. because I don't answer the phone."

THANK GOD YOU'RE A LOCKED TOMB HATER. I wanted to like it going in and it was so fucking awful it was completely unreadable. My friend loved it and so does everyone on tumblr and I felt like I was going insane
not to be a cunt again (lying) but it genuinely seemed that people heard "lesbian space necromancers" and just were willing to absorb any bullshit to have that concept no matter how badly executed. they don't even have space stuff as a strong part of the novel
