Baru: There is that part when I was walking around wearing just a t-shirt and a thong at the backstage. I was making the preparations to enter the stage and when I bended down Maru was behind me… *CHOMP*!! And I yelled “MY BUTT WAS BITTEN!!”
There is a special place in fandom hell for those fics that are ostensibly about your OTP, but are really about half of your OTP with the other half of your NOTP. PICK ONE, DICKHEAD and stop making me suffer through your fic for the sparsest crumbs of my OTP that you deign to throw out >(
Some examples of why the Oxford comma is generally a good idea
Please don’t let the Oxford comma die. If you were apathetic about it before, I think this will help you understand why it is necessary.
On the other hand, these sentences are pure gold.
One of the earliest grammar lessons I can remember is NEVER USE A COMMA BEFORE ‘AND’ IN A LIST and I wonder why…? It’s still ingrained into me to never use the Oxford comma for that reason, haha. Maybe it wasn’t acceptable in the 80s ;3a
Old English just has some wonderful words and kennings. I mean, really:
Their word for sea? It was often swan-rad or “road of the swan.” Spider was gangelwaefre, literally “the walking weaver.” They had the simple and now-obsolete word uht, which describes that time just before sunrise when mist still hangs heavy over all the fields and lakes and the last few stars are still out.
…Also, they didn’t say body. They said ban-cofan, which means “bone-cave,” and if you don’t think that’s some hardcore shit right there then you need to get out of my face before I turn your skull into a mead-cup.
I feel like @adustierstar might be able to add to this
