she/her, A(u?)DHD, German, sometimes draws nonsense. Likes Doctor Who a normal amount.

  • The likelihood of noticeable genetic defects in offspring from an incestuous relationship is far less likely than most people think (unless there was a lot more incest in their ancestry). Cersei and Jaime Lannister having pretty and generally healthy kids is not that surprising. Pretty Targaryens are more tricky to justify but can be explained by magic and shit (I mean, they have purple eyes, as you do seem to be aware, judging from the pic, and can communicate with big lizards - it doesn't seem too far-fetched that they have some protection against genetic disorders).

    Also, I actually can't think of prominent cases of incestuous offspring in fiction beyond ASoIaF, not enough to claim there is some pattern there, at least.

    Edit: "the likelihood is far less likely" is of course nonsense.

  • They're a LOT more relaxed in some other areas.

  • Let me blow your mind: Stargate is a third.

  • Now who has an attention deficit?

  • Every once in a while something he does reminds me of something I do. Luckily I always remember in time that I do not claim the right to be queen of the world so it's okay.

  • Is there enough of an audible difference between flash and flesh?

  • Because American English was invented a few days later and at least two streets away.

  • Idk, I can see none of them as sailor senshi. I also don't see how to use them in my epic ThirteenthDoctor/RoseTyler piece, seeing as the main characters have been cast already and everybody else is non-human-like (animated) aliens.

    Unless they're willing to do bit part voice work, in which case I'm sure I can accommodate them all.

  • Idk, we reportedly have a bit of a shortage in Germany and my first thought was, "oh good, can't find enough Nazis, huh?" Which is of course polemical but there does seem to be an issue with Nazis being more likely to pursue a career in law enforcement.

  • What we didn't do is say in our original posts "if you don't know what Im talking about, fuck you, I don't care."

  • You look like Dwayne Johnson at 2am, yeah?

  • Go on about [...]

    What? You expect some kind of German punchline?

  • his big "gotcha" moment is apparently that people can't tell or enjoy this stuff

    A scam is a scam whether or not people realise it's a scam.

    I actually saw Fountain of Youth. Very weird, had all the right elements, bland as fuck.

  • Instructions unclear, nip stuck in plastic whatsit.

  • How do I get the thread through the needle, hotshot?

  • ndupont ha kaban wo totta

    ndupont took bag [kaban = bag, totta = took]

    Whose bag did ndupont take? Presumably their own but that's an additional mental step that Japanese native speakers do which isn't necessary when you have a pronoun in there indicating ownership. And even Japanese can do that in order to prevent this kind of ambiguity:

    ndupont ha kare/kanojo no kaban wo totta.

    ndupont took his/her bag.

    Which of course still only tells you if ndupont took someone else's bag if the pronoun isn't ndupont's but it works in most cases.

    To further decrease ambiguity you could do this:

    ndupont ha jibun no kaban wo totta

    ndupont took (his/her/their) own bag

    So just because you can get through the day without pronouns most of the time and many languages do just that, they do doesn't mean they don't serve a purpose. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

    Edit: forgot how I began that sentence halfway through.

  • High-larious, I know.

  • It's always preferable to have a sane villain instead of an insane one. You can at least try to predict the actions of the former.
