Elfen High 2 (OOC 7, Closed, Humans Not Allowed)

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I can actually understand now why Walloons have such low knowledge of Dutch- you need to be born with a throat infection to speak it.

So, Welsh?

Blaat's even a sheep.

[Astrolinium]

So you're saying I should make Nat do it?

I was going to make a joke, but I got distracted with thinking about language.

In language.

(is useless for thirty minutes)

Languages are glorious motherfuckers descended from heaven.

I just typed that and I have no idea what it means.

The beauty of language is that it contains everything, to the extent that it contains significant portions of absolutely nothing.

[Constaniana]

I am so confused.

It's a bullshit language.

And they wonder why nobody learns it.

Actually, I tried teaching it to myself when I was 13. Mind you, this was just so I had funny words to mock people with. The only phrases I remember are "flikker" and "Liik mein rit" or something like that.

I chose to take this as an entirely new word, rather than a typo.

Afrikaans is Dutch, but much simpler. I just noted this while thinking to myself.

I imagine this is because Afrikaners were isolated from Europe and less educated, as well as the fact they would often absorb other white African groups into themselves.

I will now research this for twenty to thirty minutes.

I already knew that.

So I actually know reasonable Afrikaans.

Ah, Welsh.

Welsh is Viking, but with lead-poisoning.

It's neither.
It's a Latinization.

We have mutant giant squid in the lake, don't we?

The squid have their own natural predators in EH.

Pronounce it right and you've got a Welsh guy supporting his team during a cricket match.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Which lake?

Yes.

[Astrolinium]

Which lake?

Yes.

Is Lake Yes the one that's fed into by Shit Creek or the one that's fed into by the Mighty River of Zodin?

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Yes.

Is Lake Yes the one that's fed into by Shit Creek or the one that's fed into by the Mighty River of Zodin?

Sure.

One day you're going to physically transform into Grumpy Smurf.

Remus Lupin is my favourite character. He's surrounded by extreme personalities, but remains moderate and sensible.
Also, I first read the books when I was 9 and his werewolf-ness came across as metaphorical in a way I could very much relate to. I don't think that's what Rowling intended, but that's what I took away from it and it was a time when I really needed to feel like somebody understood.

I do think I read that she said somewhere that Lupin's lycanthropy is intended to be metaphorical in the same way the X-Men are metaphorical -- Different with a capital D.

Some parts of it seemed kind of specific. Could be egocentric bias, but his fear of his condition affecting others, his having to take a gross potion to deal with it, and in later books his feeling of being unworthy of Tonks' affection and his paranoia about passing it on to his child, all seems to fit pretty well.

Sure.

(checks map)

That's a big lake.

Four consecutive ls? Ridiculous extravagance.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

I'm just waiting for civilisation to collapse and the new breed of humanity to have only our OOCs and ICs as their Bible, or Koran, or any record of the past.

It'd be magnificent.

I often wonder of this.
