(why are tim and sasha alive? because i want them to be. next quastion)

In today's linguistics class we talked about metaphors, and we really want two of the ones we talked about to become conventionalised.

So first of all this one girl told us about a newer metaphor in Russian, "I have paws", which is something you say when you don't really want to do something, so you say you're incapable of doing it since you have paws instead of hands. Like, "hey, finish that report" "aw but I have paws :(" and I think that's adorable. It has "I'm just a girl" energy without the misogyny.

We also had the task to invent a novel metaphor and have the others guess what it means, and the teacher really liked my "she's such a capybara" = "everyone loves her". Capybara energy is like golden retriever energy except you're chill about it. You're just vibing and everyone digs that.

Anyway I think these deserve to become more common in English

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

#OH YES I LIKE THE ONE ABOUT PAWS #it's important to note that originally it's specifically 'little paws' and refers to a kitten #like 'i csnt do it i have little paws (meaning im just a dumb little kitten)

Okay bud, let's hear about your secunit nutrient value headcanons

Yesssssss the tag bait worked!

Okay so if you’ve seen some of my book fanart (on phone too hard to link) my SecUnit has a little white square on the right side of its lower back.

That is its nutritional values and warnings that it is not made for human consumption but can be consumed in an emergency. Then it’s like energy ratings, allergen warnings, microplastic warnings and a few ways to cook it to make it safer.

My thoughts being okay a lot of these SecUnits are being used on planet surveys and mines. You know what happens in both these locations? People get stranded with the equipment. And once the emergency kits run out, they’re going to need a supplementary food source and a SecUnit can remain functional for a long period of time with significant amounts of organics missing.

Of course once rescued you will be charged for consuming bits of your SecUnit, but at a “generous rate”.

And this is why SecUnit doesn’t like to be around humans eating :)

in love with this Norwegian trotter named Express Go that’s won 7/7 races so far, is only 14.2hh, and has taught herself to duck down her head to give herself super speed (and lengthen her stride I guess)
