You bled my brother. So now you bleed. You think that I am not a hunter like you. That I am not a threat. That is what makes me dangerous. You can’t see that I’m killing you. And it won’t either.

I have never once wished for Tolkien to still be alive as much as I do in this moment

Random linguistic worldbuilding: A language with six sets of pronouns, which are set by one's current state of existence. There's a separate pronoun for people who are alive, people who are dead, and potential future people who are yet to be born, and the ambiguous ones of "may or may not be alive or aleady dead", "may or may not have even been born yet", and the ultimate general/ambiguous all-covering one that covers all ambiguous states.

The culture has a specific defined term for that tragic span of time when a widow keeps accidentally referring to their spouse with living pronouns. New parents-to-be dropping the happy surprise news of a pregnancy by referring to their future child with the "is yet to be born" pronoun instead of a more ambiguous one and waiting for the "wait what did you just say?" reactions.

Someone jokingly referring to themselves with the dead person pronouns just to highlight how horrible their current hangover is. A notorious aspiring ladies' man who keeps trying to pursue women in their 20s despite of approaching middle age fails to notice the insult when someone asks him when he's planning to get married, and uses the pronoun that implies that his ideal future bride may not even be born yet.

A mother whose young adult child just moved away from home for the first time, who continues to dramatically refer to their child with "may or may not be already dead" until the aforementioned child replies to her on facebook like "ma stop telling people I'm dead" and having her respond with "well how could I possibly know that when you don't even write to us? >:,C"

Sweet, sweet girl Renad Attallah from Gaza posted a video a couple of days ago talking about how the lack of cleaning products in Gaza has caused a lot of skin infections to spread especially among children. She shared today that she's got empitigo and in her own words "even though it really, really burns, it can't burn my smile away, never 🍉"

Not to put Gazans on a pedestal, but the fact that we have grown adults exclaiming they're "tired" and that it's been getting "harder and harder to keep hope" is really fucking something when these literal children are posting their scars for you online to tell you to keep your defeatism to yourself.

King uses his observation skills to spot a coincidence. Genos interprets it as a prophecy.

Something I really appreciate about Brennan in this season's adventuring parties is him making sure Alex isn't missing out by being a more passive player.

In an earlier adventuring party Alex mentioned not having enough tokens to buy an ability and Brennan immediately stepped in and said "You've been giving so many of your tokens away, I think the table can buy that ability for you if you want it."

And then in the most recent one he checked again to make sure they were able to take any abilities they wanted while everyone else was taking a bunch.

As someone who was a painfully shy kid and still gets talked over/accidentally ignored as an adult it heals my heart a little bit every time there's someone in a group to make sure everyone has their input.

Banning the star of david from appearing at pride events because it "looks like the flag for Israel" IS antisemitic, discriminatory, and an act of oppression and hate against queer jews.

Yes, the magen david appears on the Israeli flag but unless it is in blue and framed by blue stripes, it is not an Israeli flag anymore than the hilal is a symbol for Pakistan.
