It feels extremely silly that only today did I realize that pantry and panadería are slightly similar-sounding for a reason >_>

(The English word pantry is one of the many, many common modern English words derived from Anglo-French: in this case, panetrie, from Old French paneterie, "bread room" ... Spanish panadería also has a complex etymology, but all are related to Latin panis, "bread.")

The Battle of Texel 1673 by Jan de Quelery

In retrospect, I'm really sleeping on the morbid hilarity of Draxum's people leaving the Faroes for New York. Considering they left due to humans fucking up their shit and trying to drive them off their land, and considering the time and place these humans were likely a mixture of Norse settlers and people from the British Isles. So they travel across the fucking ocean to settle in a new land where the local humans are more accepting, more willing to work with them, and maybe they aren't all best friends but they leave each other alone and are willing to work/trade with each other if necessity demands it. For a few centuries, everything was relatively chill.

And then who fucking shows up?

As a french person there is nothing more therapeutic than being a true hater. Pure sincere hate toward the french gouvernement but also this man who walk waaay to slowly on the sidewalk... Testé et approuvé ;)
