pet peeve: people saying camicazi = astrid

All they have in common is that they’re both blonde and they both have a dragon named stormfly 😭 they’re nothing alike and even the shared dragon name doesn’t mean anything because Hookfang was Stoick’s dragon in the books!

I don't really mention it, but I actually conlang a bunch; this is a look at two sister languages I'm making for the story I'm writing, that share a writing system.

Mnil, in green, has a fully reformed spelling and a simplified alphabet M'nire, in orange, hasn't had a spelling reform in centuries

Might post more conlanging here idk

Evening, folks. I think I need to get something off of my chest regarding a certain woman in gray from Spy vs. Spy.

As much as so many people would wish, or even hope, that Gray Spy would lose for once, on account of how much they hate her, I don't think that would be a good idea at all. I mean, Prohias refused to draw a woman enduring the fates that the two male spies, Black and White, go through on a regular basis because he wanted to be respectful to women. Don't get me wrong, I'm not too fond of her myself, but I'd rather stay true to the comics, and that includes Gray Spy always winning. I will admit, I'd like to use Gray Spy always winning as well as her seductive, manipulative, cruel, sadistic, and overall evil nature towards the male spies, which is why I view her as the antagonist (who never loses of course) despite that she was supposed to represent neutrality, as a message that women harming and/or taking advantage of men in any manner really should be taken just as seriously as the other way around.

However, after a few years, Prohias slowly phased her out of the comics after realizing that she was too predictable. Bob Clarke and Duck Edwing brought her back for three strips (two magazine strips and one paperback strip, with the latter marking her only appearance in the paperbacks), after Prohias retired in the late 80s, of course. Peter Kuper, however, made her into a recurring character. She also appeared in two of the Sunday strips, all 39 of which were illustrated by Dave Manak and written by Duck Edwing in 2002. Of course, she won in both of the Sunday strips she appeared in. Not gonna lie, I'm glad Prohias phased her out of the comics because I'd rather she not show up at all anyway. I mean, Spy vs. Spy lacked the good vs. evil element, thus giving the comics a perfectly good balance, and Gray Spy ruins it because like I said, she is practically the antagonist (again, who never loses) for the most part because she is so cruel and sadistic, probably even more so than the male spies, as well as being so seductive and manipulative towards Black and White. So yeah, I'm glad she never appeared in any of the MADtv shorts nor CN'S MAD shorts at all as she'd probably ruin them anyway.

Other than Prohias wanting to be respectful to women despite realizing that she was too predictable, I have a theory as to why Gray Spy always wins: Gray Spy always wins because she is deliberately more intelligent than both Black Spy and White Spy. A weakness both Black and White have in common is attractive women and Gray Spy knows it, which may explain why she uses her seductive and manipulative nature to make them fall head over heels for her so she can take advantage of their gullibility, which of course results in both Black and White ending up in her traps every single time, especially during Prohias's era, before he phased her out, of course. Gray Spy is so intelligent that she is always at least one step ahead of the male spies, so even if both Black Spy and White Spy teamed up for once to defeat her once and for all, they will still fail miserably.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my thoughts, opinions, headcanon, and theory about Gray Spy. Peace.

Mech’s can’t handle the severe cold. They don’t feel it like we do, but it causes their joints and systems to lock up, and they up getting frostbite. LB-314 isn’t affected by this as much due to her built-in heating system. Thus, she is subjected to mandatory recharge time (as a personal fireplace) ♥️

Extract from "Lùñ ne grhagh dvebzelh zrhàlh å", a poem in Mnul

Vlhydva grhagh vuå gvubve Zhnodl svenven vuå vlhygdam Xrhovlh nudsa dxagñagañ Vlhydva gghagh vuå gvubve

/βɭɯ˥t.βɑ˥ kɾɑ˥ɣ βʉ˥.ɑ kβʉ˥p.βe˥/ /ʐnə˥tl sβe˥n.βe˥n βʉ˥.ɑ βɭɯ˥k.tɑ˥m/ /xɾə˥βl nʉ˥.tsɑ˥ txɑ˥k.ŋɑ˥.kɑ˥ŋ/ /βɭɯ˥t.βɑ˥ kɣɑ˥ɣ βʉ˥.ɑ kβʉ˥p.βe˥/

A bird, a monster and a person A mountain, a field and a cabin A weapon, a motion, a scream A sad bird and a person

This poem, literally "Who really is the monster?", is believed to be one of the first pieces of the Anti-Humanist era of arts in the Fire empire.

Believe it or not, Mnul is a sister language of M'nire and Mnira, which I've posted before; even if that's not exactly evident when looking at them.
