Headcanon : the reason why in kcd1 it’s written "interesting sites" on the map, whereas in kcd2 it’s written what this interesting site IS in details, is because in kcd1, Henry could barely read, let alone write.

So he’d mark places on his map with shitty stick drawings and would tell Hans at the Rattay tavern "Oh and here is where I found some sack with… wait- no, actually, there was some kind of little camp here under a dead tree where I rested. I think. Or maybe it was in THIS part of the forest over there…"

And Hans laughs and says "Seriously Henry ? You, the chosen one of Sir Radzig, you can’t even think to make NOTES of the things you see ?" And Henry looks at him straight in the eye : "I can’t write."

So Hans then proceeds to drop all jokes and teach him the way of the nobility - with some help from the Uzhitz scribe, admittedly. Not because he’s fond of the blacksmith, of course, just because, if someday, maybe, Hans needs a PAGE or anything, and Henry is around, he’ll fulfill that role. Or something. Whatever. Just a thought.

what the fuck is going on in this site's backend

critical role fandom misogyny can sometimes feel even more egregious than regular fandom misogyny because the usual suspects can't even fall back on the usual 'well the female characters are all underwritten and unrealistic while the male characters get better writing' excuse. the female characters are almost all "written" and played by women. obviously people are allowed to have favorites, but there’s a pattern in the fandom where the women’s struggles and importance to the story are often downplayed in favor of the men’s. male pcs are allowed to be flawed and emotionally complicated in ways that female pcs often aren’t given the same grace for, without getting relentlessly criticized for it

beau and thaisha are both major drivers in their campaigns but often get treated as supporting characters in the stories of the men around them rather than protagonists in their own right

Meowdy there pardner- the name's Kevin. I'm a one year and six month old, neutered male, domestic shorthaired, brown tabby with white, medium sized kitty. My bestie is Little Lady, a one year and six month old, spayed female, domestic shorthaired, white with some brown tabby spots kitty who is on the smaller side. She's a sweet and petite gal looking to go home with nice people who will treat me like the little princess she is! Some soft pets will have her be your bestie in no time at all! Some things you should know about her before you meet her: She has a very strict sleep schedule of at least 12 hours of beauty rest per day to maintain this flawless look. It is helpful that as her brother, I'm great at helping her keep her coat nice and shiny clean. We're looking to go home to nice digs with kind folks who will give us all the best things in life- empty boxes to snooze in, comfy blankets to snuggle up in and delicious food that will keep our tummies full and ready for the next adventure- a nap! If you are looking for a reserved pair of purring kitties who will keep you entertained and be the best of company, purrhaps we're the ones for the job?

star wars is so fucking stupid, I love it

Prime example of why being a fanfic writer is painful

star wars fuckery to english glossary: the reader’s digest version

the star wars universe has no official name but in fandom you’ll see it shortened to GFFA for “galaxy far, far away”

glass - transparisteel

metal used in construction - durasteel

very strong space-plastic (used in stormtrooper armor) - duraplast

tablet computer (analogous to a PADD in trek) - datapad

rather than paper, handwriting is usually done with a stylus on flimsiplast (flimsi/flimsy for short)

holos are 3-d videos or videomessages, recorded and played on a holoprojector (these are often seen in small formats, palm-sized - analogous to like. a GoPro.)

we don’t drive cars, we drive landspeeders or speeder bikes

we don’t shoot guns, we shoot blasters

if you didn’t bring a knife to a gun fight, you perhaps brought a vibroblade instead - an edged weapon that, you guessed it, vibrates. little ones could be called vibroshivs or vibroknives. we actually got to see polearm versions of these in The Mandalorian! it was very exciting.

robots in GFFA are, of course, droids. astromech droids (astromechs) are the like. iphones of the droid world - ubiquitous, multipurpose, most with a similar aesthetic. R2-D2 and BB-8 are both astromech droids. human-shaped droids like C-3P0 are protocol droids.

got a papercut? a nasty flesh wound? a missing chunk of your torso, perhaps? slap a bacta-patch on it or take a dip in a bacta tank for a soothing treatment with this all-purpose miracle healing goo. this is what diapered Luke is bobbing around in during the early part of Empire Strikes Back.

you’re supposed to say kriff/kriffing instead of “damn,” “shit,” or “fuck/fucking,” but this is for cowards. let Obi-Wan cuss.

midichlorians - ignore them.

before the Empire comes to power, baby jedi who can’t hack it as knights or are never chosen to be Padawan apprentices become members of the Service Corps, the branches of which are the Agricultural Corps (AgriCorps), Medical Corps (MedCorps), Educational Corps (EduCorps), Exploration Corps (ExplorCorps)

dates are expressed (typically) as [date] Before the Battle of Yavin (BBY) or [date] After the Battle of Yavin (ABY). for instance, the sequel trilogy begins in 34 ABY.

and, yes: that famous cantina tune from Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes is in a musical style called jizz. because star wars is incredibly stupid.

[aimmyarrowshigh]

popcorn is called bang-corn, because obviously the earth-centric aspect of popcorn is the popping, not the corn.

[siderealsandman]

No, back the fuck up, the Cantina music is called what now

[osheamobile]

Jizz music. Being performed by jizz wailers. It’s very simple.

• Aurebesh is the alphabet used to represent spoken Galactic Basic

• Basic = English

• Days of the week goes like: · Primeday · Centaxday · Taungsday · Zhellday · Benduday.

• watches and clocks = chronometer or chrono

• Time measurement (all based off of the Coruscant solar cycle)

- 60 standard minutes = 1 standard hour

- 24 standard hours = 1 standard day

- 5 standard days = 1 standard week

- 7 standard weeks = 1 standard month

- 10 standard months + 3 festival weeks + 3 holidays = 368 standard days = 1 standard year

• Showers! = (most common) fresher, the fresher, refresher, (uncommon, used in desert planets) sonic shower, or just ‘sonic’

• pianos exist!

• what’s the most vile language you can cuss in?? why, in Huttese of course (which is the second most prevalent language in the galaxy after Basic. It’s the lingua franca for the Outer Rim Territories which is basically space wild west), try saying Fierfek five times (it means curse you)

• if you’re a droid or mechanic another cuss word would be “switch-off”

• if ur Mandalorian, ass/asses would be shebs, ‘dank farrik’ which is common for mercs to say = damn, fuck

• people working for the empire = colloquially called ‘imps’

• the mafia = pykes and the hutts

• ‘GFFA’? =The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, also known as the Federal Galactic Republic (also Galaxy Far Far Away lol)

[mierac]

I believe it’s now canon that SW characters can say “shit” at least. (Cassian has said it at least once.)

[unicorn-jpg-archive]

hey nonbinary parents u kno how there’s shortened terms for mother and father but no good shortened terms for parent?? well i have the solution for you!!! instead of “parent” u can call urself “guardian” which can be shortened to “guard” and then when ur kid says things like “sorry i can’t go my guard says no” they sound rich and mysteriously important and u dont get misgendered and everyone wins

[beesdontexist]

Additionally, when your kid has a bad influence trying to get them to do something they know you would be against they could say “Sorry, I don’t want to let my guard down” which is both mysterious AND a pun

the trolley problem except the guy tied to one set of tracks is your friend and someone you trust and one of the few people in the world that you genuinely like and he's begging for his life and he's saying that you're murdering him and he's screaming and clawing and running like a wild animal. on the other set of tracks is every living thing on the planet. its a no brainer, obviously. but he will still scream. this happened to my good friend eva stratt

Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.

Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.

Picture it. Decades after the world is saved, a huge alien spacecraft touches down on earth.

Scientist, politicians, and thousands of reporters gather to witness the aliens disembark the ship. A group of boulder-like creatures, clicking and whistling to the humans around them.

One of them raises something large and metallic towards the crowd.

There's an immediate recoil of fear (is it a weapon?!) before the audience realises it's human technology. A laptop, old and beaten and looks like it was put back together by a drunk.

The alien presses a button.

"Hello Earth, this is Doctor Captain Ryland Grace. These guys are Eridians and they're here on a shopping trip. I have a list and no money, but I did save the world so that has to count for something. Number one, salt and vinegar chips. Actually anything potato. Number two, I miss apple juice. Number three,"

"historically people had servants" incorrect. historically people WERE servants, and many of us still are.

this reminds me of a computer system we had at my previous job, which allowed an optional "medical condition" to be recorded against each person in the database. if one was entered, you needed to specify whether that condition was stable, worsening, or improving.

however, the list of possible "conditions" was rather broad, and included pregnancy; i was never sure whether "worsening" or "improving" was the correct choice in that case.
