3 people want to go for walks with me and two people want me to do jobs for them. Too much pressure, going back to sleep

Pretty wild that the french language is a descendant of latin. Like not only is it a domesticated version of vulgar latin, but, like, the pug version of it. Specifically selectively bred for the purpose of being cute and useless. Arbitrary spelling and frilly pronunciation to the point where nobody notices if you only pronounce two thirds of the letters and not a single consonant. Language so imprecise that you have to be a native speaker or an university linguistic professor to have any confidence in your assumption that you know what the fuck someone is saying.

How the fuck is french like "oh no, I can only fit like 21 unique words into my cute little vocabulary, so all of them need to have like 35 separate meanings, and you have to listen to my distressed snortling really carefully to deduct from context whether the word 'bouton' in this sentence means a doorknob, flower bud, button, pimple, or a secret fifth thing that I just made up! ó^ò"

Meanwhile latin, long dead and still haunting us, pulls its bloody head out of a mammoth carcass mouth full of gore like "I have a specific verb for aggressively penetrating a man's left nostril."

high school is soo funny in hindsight. the entire time you're there thinking it's the most important period of your life and then the second you're out you're like well that was fucking stupid

Okay I haven’t actually finished the first trilogy but I’m enjoying that Robin Hobb made a main character who’s the bastard son of a beloved prince, gets raised in a castle and secretly trained as a deadly assassin, also does weird psychic magic and has a wolf animal companion who he has a telepathic link with, and yet even with all that going for him, the answer to the question ‘Is Fitz cool’ is an unmitigated ‘no’

he is SO cringe fail and pathetic it’s iconic. Hobb really said “what if my fantasy action hero was kind of a loser?” and didn’t look back
