what words could not express

Okay so we if we gotta break these characters down by DND classes
SQQ: While one may be tempted to say wizard based on how he relies on book learning (and his wisdom score is in the toilet) he doesn’t actually do much stuff with qi! Most of what we see him do in the books is obfuscate, act, and when necessary, use his martial ability. I’m going to go with rogue, specifically one of the charisma based subclasses
LBH: Super tragic backstory, powers inherited from his lineage, charisma based build— yeah he’s a sorcerer. And Xin Mo is the mega cursed magic item he will not put down and has never succeeded on a saving throw against.
Wei Wuxian: Now this is an interesting case because I think the answer differs pre and post resurrection. Before he died WWX was most definitely a Necromancer Wizard. He got his skills through study and not an internal magical source. Post resurrection though? I’m going to go with bard. He doesn’t have access to big fancy magic anymore and is mainly relying on dizi playing and small tricks he remembers. Fucker probably has his own special homebrew subclass
Lan Wangji: Paladin. Highly devoted, skilled with a sword, adheres to a set of rules— none of this is surprising. However, I would make the argument that Lan Wanji is actually an Oathbreaker paladin. On account of the whole… you know. Plus it makes him sexier. Win win.
Xie Lian: Monk. No question. Monkiest monk to ever monk. Doesn’t wear armor? Moves at crazy speed? Favored weapon is his hands and maybe a sword if he’s feeling fancy? Monk. Full stop.
Hua Cheng: Now you may be thinking swashbuckler rogue on account of how well he uses his sword and charisma— you could make a solid argument there. However, Hua Cheng’s true powers lie in his devotion to his God— therefore I’m going to go with Cleric. Anyone who says “nooo clerics are boring and healers and—“ have never had a trickery cleric in the party.
This PSA has been brought to you by a giant nerd.
domestication is bimbofication for animals
Not entirely wrong.
You know? I think you're onto something here.
Domesitcation brings on a host of behavioral and physiological changes in affected species, including:
decreased aggression/fearful behavior
Increased curiosity and friendliness
smaller teeth and weaker jaws
Novel and more varied coat colors, esp dilution and piebaldism
smaller brains and reduced spatial reasoning skills, but increased social skills
changes to the endocrine system that cause increased sexual behavior including using sexual activity as conflict resolution and the ability to breed all year-round.
Bimbofication is a kink scenario in which the person being bimbofied undergoes extensive behavioral and physiological changes, including:
Decreased aggression, up to the point of forgetting perviously hostile relationships
Increased friendliness and curiosity in the interests of others
more "femminine" features including smaller, less angular jaws
changes in hair color, especially becoming blonde or developing novel colors like neon pink
"IQ Loss" or "Dumbification" in which complex logical reasoning becomes harder for the subject but social situations get a lot more navigable
A notable increase in Sexual Behavior, in terms of frequency, duration, number of partners, variety of acts and the use of Sex Acts as conflict resolution. The resolution to all their problems, really...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The central tenet of the theory of evolution as it is today, is that all life on earth descended from a common ancestor. Going by this logic, every organism is related to each other. In a way, all life belongs to one giant family tree. By this logic, the claim "Humans and chicken share a common ancestor, and thus are related" is a reasonable one.
But is there any direct evidence for this? Actually...yes. If we are asked for the biggest differences between us and chickens, laying eggs would probably come on top. Since humans give birth, it is a fact that they don't produce the building blocks of said eggs. Then, why does the human genome contain bits and pieces of such genes that code for these building blocks? The most reasonable explanation is that humans inherited these genes from an egg-laying ancestor, that also happened to be an ancestor of chickens. Otherwise, specially-created humans have no need for such broken genes.
A question might be asked : Why are these genes broken? All genes are subject to mutations at a fairly constant rate. A fact of physics and chemistry. When a gene is vital, then any mutation that makes it lose its function will be selected against. If a chicken has a mutation of the VIT2 gene, it won't be able to make the yolk. Without it, no reproduction. So the gene kept its function, because all members who had a negative (said "inactivating" or "loss-of-function") mutation, had no descends. Now imagine a human or an ape having an inactivating mutation in the VIT2 gene? Nothing happens. No natural selection stops this mutation from spreading, because the gene isn't needed, and we get a pseudogene or gene fragments.

things that just are Chaotic Academia (2)
turning the music up to full volume and yelling along to it whilst jumping around and waving your arms in their air
buying a vast amount of books in one go and then never getting round to reading them
owning a large amount of funky mugs
pretending black coffee is the only thing you’ll drink but in secret loving anything with cinnamon and whipped cream
baking at midnight
you: “halloween is the superior holiday don’t f.cking argue with me on this one”
someone stupid: *argues with you on this one*
you: “alright you asked for it!”
your friends: “oh god here we go…”
you: *pulls out the worlds biggest binder organised alphabetically with sub sections containing all the reasons why halloween is the best holiday*
commitment? who is she?
you procrastinate studying, you have basically zero organisation but you will do the following:
- the halloween binder
- writing someone who dumped you a 3000 word essay entitled ‘it’s your loss. discuss’
- creating a complex five page quiz with scoring system for each of your friends so they can assess if a person they’re dating is good enough for them
- staying up all night to read (only if the books got you hooked)
something about chaotic academia screams ‘I listened to story CDs as a kid’
crushing hard on Draco
you definitely started out wanting to be Dark Academia, and still now the pictures of dusty corridors and old books on pinterest occasionally draw you in, but in reality you use the phrase “fuck off you fucking fuck” too much to truly fit as DA. besides, you just get bored of it every time you try
the biggest ‘ride or die’ attitude
going on a walk then, for no reason, just starting to run until you can’t breathe
not knowing how to tell people that you’re hurting
