They tried it

I feel like I’m playing the most suspenseful moment of a Bioshock game and this is the audio recording I’ve found in the bottom of a trash can

the thing about writing fantasy stories is that language is so based on history that it can be hard to decide how far suspension of disbelief can carry you word-choice wise - what do you call a french braid in a world with no france? can a queen ann neckline be described if there was no queen ann? where do you draw the line? can you use the word platonic if plato never existed? can you name a character chris in a land without christianity? can you even say ‘bungalow’ in a world where there was no indian language for the word to originate from? is there a single word in any language that doesn’t have a story behind it? to be accurate a fantasy story would be written in a fantasy language but who has the time for that

Tolkien had the time apparently

LIsten. Linguistics Georg, who invented over 10,000 conlangs each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted. 

Excellent point.

John Mulaney woke up with amnesia once and never told anyone because he was too worried about being rude

Can someone from the Pokemon fandom explain this, I don’t understand nurse Joy’s reaction.

Ho-oh is basically a minor deity, so nurse joy pretty much just heard this ten year old say “i threw a rat at a god.”

i threw a rat at a god

the funniest part about zuko joining the gaang is that zuko has never once chilled in his entire (dis)honorable life and he shows up expecting the gaang to match that rigorous intensity and be skilled and deadly masters of evasion and prowess after having avoided being captured for so long but instead what he gets is this ragtag group of goofy kids who technically ARE skilled and deadly masters of evasion and prowess, but who also, want to go on vacation and make sandcastles like 1.5 days before Sozin’s Comet

One time, Gryffindor reached exactly 69 house points, and for two whole weeks they managed not to gain or lose any by being as boring as possible. It was finally broken when Hermione was awarded 10 points for some good Charms homework, and Ron was subtracted 20 for yelling “FUCKS SAKE HERMIONE” in response

it happened, only it wasn’t mentioned because it wasn’t relevant to Harry’s story

You know what I’m still annoyed with this because no, Netflix, you did not lose a single fucking penny. You did not lose money from people sharing their accounts, they did not physically take the money from you. Your profits did not go down, they just didn’t rise as much as you wanted them to, and you consider that a catastrophic loss of billions of dollars. Fuck off.

I wish I could articulate all the ways this makes sense and why it makes sense and stuff but it’s just like… something something misogyny something something resentment of creatures that don’t need you and don’t hang on your attention and approval all their lives.

This is awesome. Man is doing good ass deeds 24/7 because he’s giving people control.

How dare you not leave a link to his channel, this guy is the savior of the modern world.
