:hug: How and when did Joshua die, if you don't mind me asking?

Josh died still born due to infection and neurological problems at twenty weeks in pregnancy. Mother was in super depression cause' Josh just keeled. She had to carry Josh knowing she/he was dead for two weeks, so the doctors could help mother give birth to her/him. That made mother physically ill, because Josh started to rot inside of her. Josh's problems were the identical problems as Zeno were to have. Zeno was to be aborted, but wasn't because parents decided to raise Zeno anyways...

Zeno often seriously questions their decision on this matter.

:( That is one of the most horrible experiences I can imagine.

:hug: :kiss: I know that feeling. Don't listen to it. It's a hateful little bitch.

Is it me or did it just get very saccharine in here?
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!

Eh, talking about it is essentially pointless. But it's a fun thought, as least.

Nobody's comfortable with their looks. Judging by the flag, you aren't ugly. You're actually kinda cute with the glasses and all. None of us are Jon Hamm, much as we'd like to be, but I would not equate your appearance with that of excrement.

The ones 'liked' by Genghis Khan didn't receive much of a choice in the matter.

Old word meaning "Excessively sweet or sentimental.” The additive repurposed the word.

The artificial sweetener's name is derived from it, but spelt without the -e on the end. Wikipedia just redirects to the sweetener because it's not a dictionary.
