If you aren’t at least a little ashamed of your country’s history, you don’t know your country’s history.

the thing about writing fantasy stories is that language is so based on history that it can be hard to decide how far suspension of disbelief can carry you word-choice wise - what do you call a french braid in a world with no france? can a queen ann neckline be described if there was no queen ann? where do you draw the line? can you use the word platonic if plato never existed? can you name a character chris in a land without christianity? can you even say ‘bungalow’ in a world where there was no indian language for the word to originate from? is there a single word in any language that doesn’t have a story behind it? to be accurate a fantasy story would be written in a fantasy language but who has the time for that

Tolkien had the time apparently

LIsten. Linguistics Georg, who invented over 10,000 conlangs each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

Things you can say in response to literally anything, when you have nothing else to say:

arcaneloquence:

• As the prophecy foretold.
• But at what cost?
• So let it be written; so let it be done.
• So…it has come to this.
• That’s just what he/she/they would’ve said.
• Is this why fate brought us together?
  
• And thus, I die.
• …just like in my dream…
• Be that as it may, still may it be as it may be.
• There is no escape from destiny.
• Wise words by wise men write wise deeds in wise pen.
• In this economy?
  
• …and then the wolves came.
