there's something special about Calvin & Hobbes where Watterson could open a sunday funny with a realistic drawing of a dead bird and end it with the characters completely unable to work out the angst of morality.
the catboys i signed for my all-catboy baseball team dont know what baseball is and theyre actively loudly sobbing whenever they miss a swing and whenever they dive to catch a ball it bonks them on the head and they go "uweh" and our pitcher closes his eyes whenever he throws because hes scared and we're beating every other team in the league
Oh boy!! It’s a fucking mystery?? A spooky scary mystery!! Better get fucking Sherlock Holmes on this one! It’s a big fucking mystery, with no obvious answer!
Are Pokémon differentiated from wild animals? Or are all Pokémon a type of domesticated, therefore only considered feral without human socialization? If so, do wild animals even exist in the Pokémon universe, or is it just selected Pokémon that are wild and selected ones that are domesticated like here in our universe?
Perhaps not, considering that any Pokémon can be caught and bonded with a trainer, and in essence "domesticated", though I haven't played a Pokémon game in a dogs age so I'm probably missing Serious Pokémon Lore in that regard. Or perhaps, even the comparison to our own world only limits the ways a different world might be and in the end makes the juxtaposition moot.
You know, I’d love to tell you but I’m pretty unclear about what marks the difference between “spice” and “strong-tasting plant that isn’t considered a spice”
Pine needles are distinguished by the presence of a sheath-like structure at the base of the leaf, almost always holding bundles of two or more leaves. Yews don’t have the sheath thing
this conversation reads like two shakespeare characters who come out in the middle of the play to talk about something completely unrelated for comic relief and then are never heard from again
Enter AERUH and MALUS SYL-VESTRIS, a pair of JESTERS.
AERUH
I tell thee, rosemary is like a pine
but with a spicy taste.
MALUS
Art thou to claim
that needles base of pine have not a spice?
AERUH
A needle base of pine is merely base.
MALUS
‘Tis not when held, comparing, to anthos.
AERUH
My dearest Malus, needles thou'st eaten?
MALUS
How many moons have we as friends seen rise?
How many suns have we as friends seen set?
Thou sixteen seasons in my heart I’ve held,
and hope that I in thine hast been the same.
With brotherhood as rich and old as this,
thou needst not ask me such frivolities.
AERUH
I know thou likely has, to tell the truth,
but I would not assume.
MALUS
Well, yes, I have.
A multitude of types I’ve eaten too.
I’ll tell thee now: the best (though it is strange)
is single-leaf pinyon.
AERUH
And it has spice?
MALUS
I truly wish that I could tell thee this,
but now, i'faith, I cannot fully tell,
the difference in classifying thus:
to say “has spice” or merely “herbal strength”.
AERUH
To tell this tale most clearly it would seem
that eating needles from a pine’s required.
MALUS
Aye, it would seem that that’s the task at hand,
but caution tells that this is what’s to do:
eat only needles of the honest pine,
and none of lying leaf with pinelike shape.
AERUH
I’ll eat them all.
MALUS
I prithee, stay thyself.
AERUH
Roulette with leaves.
MALUS
At least restrain from yew.
AERUH
I’ll do my best.
MALUS
That is all can we do.
The scholars tell that needles true of pine
can be distinguished from the lying yew
by sheathlike clothing all along the base;
the yew has no such guard.
AERUH
With this new truth
I now will venture out into the wood
and seek the pines and pinelike fakes alike
to stare them down and learn their secret truths.
MALUS
With this thou canst at long and weary last
Discover for thyself my life’s own path.
Exeunt.
Enter MACDUFF.
MACDUFF.
Yo dudes that king there’s dead. Like dead as FUCK.
