@clarfonthey two sips of soup is presumed to make your anger recede regardless of your answer to the poll

@Anke ah i see! interesting. Retour is…i’ve never heard anyone use it so it’d definitely make me blink to come across, but since both of its constituent parts are valid english words with about the same meaning as their french counterparts its mostly sensical?

@coriander @Lady @wallhackio yes, book 5 (post gap) was order of the pheonix which introduces the secret society by the same name

@wallhackio @Lady @coriander books 1-4 were published on an annual basis and then she realized sue wrote herself into a corner so book 5 took three years, during which fans speculated extensively on what was going to happen next. And then she solved everything in a much more boring way then the fans had and everyone was disappointed

@Lady @coriander @wallhackio i don’t know i would have phrased it quite like that if only but it was definitely a catalyzing moment in fan culture

@Lady also stress and anxiety and dispair

@Lady tea is good for that too

will two sips of tea make your anger recede

@platypus @Pixley jesus was once just some guy from the next town over too tbf

@wallhackio @monorail soju is typically distilled (tho unlike western spirits it is typically below 35%ABV & can be as low as 12%ABV) while sake is not but both are fermented rice alcohols

the distillation process is clean enough that its not that different from vodka (or watered down vodka depending) but the post distillation processing is done according to Korean tastes

anyway Suna and Yamato are very cute metamours and should hang out more often
