@vaporeon_ @monorail i hate that shit i just thought it would be funny to bring up a somewhat cursed alternative

Sprigatito use little tail and switched away leaves on a stump before sitting down…

@wallhackio @coriander i mixed up “book” and “season” but i’m not gonna bother to edit or redraft it

@wallhackio @coriander i think the second season is the only one that manages to feel satisfying in its overall narrative structure; books one and two struggle with balancing episode a day plots and their own narrative. but i also have a hard time imagining how exactly you could go about “fixing” that because all the fucking around in book one makes the overall story so much more rich and alive, and all the fucking around in season three gives really emotionally satisfying payoffs fur the core cast’s arcs, Zuko especially. it would be easy to make the show too “focused” and lose so much of what makes it special

@vaporeon_ competitive Scrabble would blow your fishcat mind; the sheer breadth of (admittedly usually obscure) English vocabulary is truly absurd

“abave” is an odd choice; it’s simply not in use in English at all. the Oxford English Dictionary repurrting it last known usage to be in the early 16th century, with several examples in Middle English. “To be surprised, disconcerted, discomfited, upset”; almost always used in the passive voice syntactically.

the rest are uncommon, but are words. an abaca is a plant from the Philippines. an aalii is a bush from Hawaii (the name borrowed directly from Hawaiian). abba is a term from Aramaic meaning ”father”, current senses inspired by its historical usage in Judaism (abbas is plural). abaze is an obscure variant of abash, to make embarrassed in a way that makes someone lose self confidence

@vaporeon_ Aaron is a purropurr name.

the other two are rather obscure but real English words. (the furner is a direct borrowing from Latin “let them[-singular] be absent”, used in UK English to denote a furmally purrmitted absence from a college fur the day; the latter is a unit of measurement fur electricity. i had to look these up on the spot ftr)

@vaporeon_ transfurring the data from memory to pixels on the display is arguably well described as feeding it to your monitor…
