Amateurs.

Modern equivalent of the most eligible cultivator thing is a poll (probably made by Nie Huaisang) and right after the final results go live Wei Wuxian leaves an incredibly detailed rant in the comments about how Lan Wangji should be ranked number one and everyone that chose Xichen over him is a coward that just can't handle a hot person being a little mean (no homo)

No, I hate writing whump, what do you mean? I’d never write a 20k word TBB fic after HCing one specific whump scene. No! that’s so silly. I don’t like to try to draw it either!

Okay but the amount of time I spent making sure Padmé and Anakin are “causally picnicking in the BG” in the Naboo dilemma 😅 🧺

I like it when they say:

'DON'T INTERACT IF YOU'RE A PÆDOPHILE!!!'

Because nonces are so well-known for respecting other people's boundaries.

"DNI: Standard DNI criteria" is so funny, like anyone checking if they should interact is gonna be familiar enough with dni's to know the standard redundant options. really exposes the purpose of them, they signal an in-group to other people with the same DNI rather than actually being a warning for potentially unwanted interactions.

Round two: Craic vs שלימזל, shlimazl

(poll at the end)

Craic (Irish Gaelic)

[kɾˠac]

Translation: Fun, good time, chat, but can also be used in ways like "what's the craic?" to say "what's up?"

Irish Gaelic is an Indo-European language belonging to the Celtic branch. It has 141 000 native speakers in Ireland and 1 030 000 people speak it as a second language. It is taught in schools as a second language, but the population actually speaking Irish Gaelic on a daily basis either live in small areas where English never took over (around 2% of Ireland’s population) or are groups in urban areas mostly speaking it as a second language. Many only speak Irish Gaelic within the education system.

Motivation: The spelling is pretty cool, it’s a culturally specific word, and I love how confused people get when I use it, it’s funny to see people thinking I am talking about drugs when I am not.

שלימזל, shlimazl (Yiddish)

[ʃləˈmɑːzəl]

Translation: A person with perpetually bad luck

Yiddish is an Indo-European language belonging to the Germanic branch, today spoken by 409 000 people. It originated among Jews in Germany who mixed German with Hebrew from the Tanakh, with records going back to the 8th century. After 1250 the Yiddish-speaking Jews got contact with Slavic Jews and spread the language there. The dialect that evolved in contact with the Slavic languages later on became the prominent one. Yiddish was spread beyond Europe due to persecution of Jews in eastern Europe that led to emigration. Around half of the Yiddish-speaking community was murdered in the Holocaust, and due to that as well as further prosecution in Soviet and voluntary switching to Hebrew, there are far less speakers now than before WWII, when Yiddish had 11 million speakers.

Motivation: It’s a fun word

When I was little I had a Heathcliff video and watched it over and over again, and I still have it somewhere.

I wonder if 4Kids based Meowth on him, as they sound exactly the same.

My friend just sat down with my stringless guitar, looked down at it and yelled

“WHERE’S THE SCRINGS!?!!?!”

My brother is the funniest person I know. So I'm just gonna put quotes of his on here as a gift for you, the people.

"Oranges is not driving food, apples is not dinner!"

Jiang Cheng is lucky cars didn't exist in his time because Lan Wangji would not hesitate to run him over
