me: yeah, so one of your most famous works is actually just that commission of a woman that you kept. Honestly, it's less of the piece itself that lead to its fame and more the mystery surrounding it, so I was hoping you could clear that up the decayed corpse of Leonardo Da Vinci that I resurrected: Hai detto che hanno chiamato una tartaruga che combatte il crimine con il mio nome?

I think it's really funny that Japanese also has a word for "Edgelord" but theirs translates to "8th grader"

it's not even '8th grader' it's even funnier. chunibyo is eighth grade syndrome. like explicitly a diagnosis. i diagnose you with edgelord

everybody was normal fighting~ *non-racist riff*

Dr Chireau was my college religion professor! She’s also the reason I was the hoodoo consultant on the Sinners/Fortnite crossover.

i can never stop myself from swearing "jesus christ" in character when playing ttrpgs so my workaround for this has been that in every setting i run there is a different historical catastrophe that's always caused by a different guy but in each case, coincidentally, his name was jesus christ, so there's always a diegetic reason why people use that exclamation like a curse.

in my old spelljammer campaign jesus christ was a gnome who fucked up during the construction of a space elevator between two orbit-locked planets, causing them to collide and costing the space bridge company 51 quintillion gold in resurrection costs and restitutive damages, which i think merits people 90 years later still using your name like it means "fuck me, this sure is a pickle"

sometimes in a new game or even a one-shot, a canny player who's been at my table before will pre-emptively ask me "so who's jesus christ?"

to do it, to make it look legit, and to not hurt the kid. He's flipping hos WHOLE BODY around that child and the child is never nudged by any force stronger than a strong breeze. Even when the kid is lifted up in the air, that kid is supported and moved SO gently and SO safely. That guy is totally in control even when he's upside down and backwards!

best part about this video is everyone in the replies like "bullshit, this is fake. i bet i could beat that kid"
