today's bug thing is the bug carousel at the Bronx Zoo!

this post's hypothetical by itself is already ridiculous but the thing that gets me is how the wording implies two very funny things that become funnier in tandem

1. "Accidentally, the pitcher tosses a Christian baby" means this is a mistake on the pitcher's part. i imagine the pitcher is breastfeeding on the field and they pitch and they look down at their hands and they see the ball still in the glove and they go "fuck"

2. hitting the baby will still win you the game

Bilbo absolutely butchering Khuzdul when he first starts learning it. Not because he's bad at it, but because it makes Thorin roar with laughter at the ridiculous compound words that he comes up with.

When Thorin is still chuckling while he tells Dwalin or Balin about what he said today, Bilbo enjoys quietly admiring the smile lines around his eyes.

#he called a potato peeler “Knife to make vegetable naked” and Thorin and Bombur still haven't recovered from that one

Okay yes yes yes yes

Yes

Yes Bilbo second(fourth?)-language Khuzdul and Iglishmêk learner and the Company second(third?)-language Westron speakers is so utterly mo cupán tae [my cup of tea.]

Because imagine even just the sounds of it:

Bilbo can't roll his Rs like Dwarves, but can like Elves [as in Bilbo and as far as I know Sindarin the rolled R is /r/ as opposed to Dwarvish /ʀ/ or English /ɹ/. (Interactive IPA chart for those who don't know what I'm on about.)] and the Dwarves finding this mildy offensive. Or cute if it's Kíli and he's like he is in the movies.

Or the way the Dwarves speak Westron with those gorgeous /ʀ/ sounds. I don't know how Khuzdul does sound mutations and allophones: but say it's like German where consonants often de-voice at the ends of words; or certain English dialects where final K, T, or P can turn into ejectives; or anything like that and Bilbo finding it weirdly beautiful, or strangely harsh at the beginning and beautiful by the end because it's the sound of his Dwarves.

Imagine Bilbo using Westron phrases in Khuzdul and they not making any sense at all: á la how may grandad used to say "black with people" (a direct translation of the Irish "dubh le daoine" which means "very crowded.") Or visa versa: the Dwarves saying Khuzdul phrases in Westron.

Imagine Bilbo having that moment where he's like "I know what each of those words means, just no idea what the sentence means." Or him having to grasp new grammatical concepts that Westron doesn't destinguish.

The Milt Kahl Head Swaggle (Source: Cartoon Brew)

spootywabbit

I love it when you can pick up an animator’s quirks.

kaseylgifford

I’ve read in old interviews with Milt Khal’s fellow animators that he did the swaggle to purposefully show off. Moving the head in 3-d space is an exceptionally hard thing to do but Khal upped the level of difficulty to a place many animators wouldn’t go. Not only are they all doing the swaggle you’ll notice they are all TALKING while they are doing it. This is back in the days where you had to use a timing sheet to pace your animation and a head swaggle doesn’t work if its too slow or too fast so he had to figure out the right speed so it looked natural while the character finishes what they have to say while not interfering with the distinct mouth shapes. Not only did Khal do it without any shifting weight problems or timing issues he would often do it while moving the rest of the body. This isn’t his signature move just because he was good at it.This is his signature move because he was one of the only people skilled enough to DO IT AT ALL.

Milt Khal was a MASTER.
