One fun thing to me about German, at least in my regional dialect, is the -ong bastardization of words that really adds a village fool twang to words
Beton -> Betong
Pardon -> Pardong
Saison -> Saisong
Karton -> Kartong
etc etc, a personal favourite: Croissant -> Crossong
I make sure to make it sound as stupid as possible because it's fun that way

@signiorbenedickofpadua and I are testing a theory:
Were you conceived near Christmas (late August to early October birthday) and were you personally victimized my the bbc Merlin finale?
Yes
Nah
Wtf are you talking about?
Mammal in a Sunday Dress, by Georgina M. Cox, 2026
Mammal in a Sunday Dress explores the uneasy relationship between femininity, civilisation, and the animal body. At first glance, the figure appears modest and withdrawn. Her posture is composed, her gaze seemingly lowered towards her bare feet, recalling the conventions of nineteenth-century portraiture where women were often depicted as passive objects of observation. Yet as the viewer moves closer, the illusion collapses. Her eyes are not lowered at all. She is looking directly back. The delayed eye contact transforms the encounter. The viewer approaches believing they are safely observing a woman; instead, they realise they have been observed themselves. The work refuses the traditional power dynamic of portraiture, denying the comfort of anonymous spectatorship. Looking becomes a reciprocal act. For Cox, the painting considers humanity's persistent desire to separate itself from the rest of the animal kingdom. The title quietly undermines this distinction. A "mammal" is not another creature—it is us. The Sunday dress, rich with cultural associations of femininity, morality, and respectability, becomes an attempt to distinguish ourselves from nature. Yet clothing cannot alter biology. Beneath lace and ritual remains the same vulnerable animal body. The work also reflects on the historical relationship between women and nature. Across art, religion, and philosophy, women have repeatedly been positioned as closer to instinct, emotion, reproduction, and the body itself, while men have been aligned with reason, culture, and civilisation. Mammal in a Sunday Dress does not reject this comparison. Instead, it questions why proximity to nature has so often been treated as something lesser. Chiaroscuro isolates the figure within darkness, allowing the luminous dress to symbolise the performance of civilisation while the bare feet quietly return the body to the earth. Neither is presented as more truthful than the other. The painting exists in the tension between performance and instinct, refinement and biology. Mammal in a Sunday Dress ultimately asks a simple but unsettling question: if every layer of culture were stripped away, what would remain? Not a king. Not a saint. Not a gentleman or a lady. Only another mammal, looking back.

American here, and absolutely never have I or would I do this. Yuck!
Okay... so this is right up my alley. More weird whimsy and quirk in the romance genre... and more jaded suffer-no-fools women, instead of the creepy age-gaps, please and thank you
I WILL WATCH THE FUCK OUT OF THIS! Monster romance books prepared me for thiissss!
Something that always strains my suspension of disbelief is seeing fake campfires/fireplaces in films. Like I get that building a real fire is probably not practical from a continuity standpoint and whatnot, but I've lit a few too many fires in my days as a scout to not go "why the fuck are these medieval guys sitting around an artificial gas fire someone ripped out of a McMansion hearth??" every single time...
Me, playing horizon forbidden west: I've only had Alva for a quest and a half, but if anything happened to her I'd kill everyone in this game and then myself
You know I have always been loyal to you, Morgana.
