I met a woman on FB years ago. She's super effeminate, and tiny, and no one would ever guess that she forges swords in her backyard on the weekends, and I absolute love her.

If you don't mind me asking, were you raised speaking English, too? As a monoglot, it blows my mind when people are fluent enough in a second language to enjoy reading fiction in that language. I've tried to learn Spanish, and would love to get to that point, but I really wonder if I'd be able to enjoy reading for leisure in another language, or if it would feel like a chore.

I think the logic was that the goblins were singing, like, as part of their culture. Not like Musical logic, but more like how some cultures pray in song, or some cultures chant. Goblins sing big numbers as a way of worshipping/venerating the goblin king, or perhaps it's similar to how Christians say grace before a meal. Gotta sing for your dinner. The doctor and Ruby just took advantage of that aspect of their culture and Bugs Bunny'd their way outta there.

Yes! Major neverwhere vibes!

So, I rarely like a doctor for the first several episodes, my brain can't get past the last doctor. Took me forever with Smith. I always end up rewatching them later and loving them, it's just that I can't handle the sudden differentness well.

All that said, I really freaking enjoyed this one. I'm not fully in love with Ncuti yet, but I did really enjoy the episode, and LOVED the song. Oddly, the only Doctor I loved first off was Jodi. Ncuti is closer than most, though.

Also. That kilt. Meow.

Also loving the new sonic.

Forgot to mention, Ruby really reminds me of Clara in the best way.

My dachshunds do it, and it is very disturbing to wake up to them 3 inches from my face, making out with each other aggressively, as if to say "that's right. You're still single, bitch"

What about an Android alternative? I don't use any, so can't recommend, but I'm sure one of them will be a knockoff of a similar size.

Thanks, I hate it!

I think it's a really interesting concept, and could be a very fun read. I love the idea of reading little details that show how they get along, how their world is designed differently to ours to accommodate their body styles. As someone who does disability activism, there's a concept that sometimes blows able bodied people's minds, that physical disabilities are only as limiting as they are because the world is inherently designed for a different body style or ability. If the world were designed with wheelchair users in mind as the primary, we may not even consider a wheelchair user to be disabled. I love the idea of a society designed for a 4 legged body plan.

I have no real advice on how they might or might not prove that, only that "you can't prove a negative." So it seems like the onus would be on proving that you were trying to do something, rather than proving that you were not.

But more importantly, I want to read this book. Haha. I desperately need to know how non anthro animals perform skin grafts, and what a jury made entirely of wolves is like. Is the judge a wolf? Such an interesting way of doing things, and I would love to learn more.

That's really cool to know! I doubt I'll ever get the opportunity, but it'll be something I try if I ever do!

Good catch. I genuinely don't know if that was me or autocorrect 😄

Need to move to Oregon.

You gonnna take these chicken bones, you gonna hang em from a tree. You gonna wait threeee nights, and after threeee nights, you gonna take the bones down, and bury them in the sand along the shores of the coast of the low country, and build a fire. You gonna burn a lock of your hair in that fire, and when it's all burnt out, you gonna add it your bath water. Take you a bath in that water, and then apologize to the witch that cursed you.

It does make me wonder where they swiss government will acquire their coke. With weed, it's fairly easy to grow it wherever you need to, but with coke, you pretty much have to be in certain regions, yeah?

If that's the case, is this still going to be supporting those same cartels? If more countries legalized, we could maybe hope to see legally grown, harvested, and processed coke without all the slave labor and shit. Could be a real boon for South American countries, too, if the cartels lost power, and the cocoa plantations could be nationalized.

I just woke up, so I may be just talking out my ass, though

I'm imagining a red shirt just going for a spacewalk as the ship is trying to go to warp

It is pronounced Captain BOUQUET!

But, like, why is it gay to be attracted to her?
