The tattoos sound like they’re going to be beautiful in the end. I know they can mean a lot to a person when done right. :wolf:

Language is the weirdest damn thing. I had a speech impediment in English with certain th, sh, etc. words that I overcame while still a child. This never was an issue in German. But now with Spanish I’m running back into sounds I’m having a devil of a time repeating.

And it’s surreal as I sorted out that problem so long ago it’s borderline nostalgic running into it again.

My sister’s girlfriend was a linguistics major and frequently says “Language was a mistake.”

Tell ya one thing if I’ve kids I’m going to try to expose them too as much language stuff as possible.

As children are quite literally still figuring out how to think this all comes pretty naturally. But once you have a concrete way to organize your thoughts trying to learn a new way is pretty challenging.

Definitely at least three. Because I could be wrong but I feel like trying to learn a 3rd language might be more difficult than a 2nd. Because when I space on the Spanish word I’m looking for my brain keeps volunteering German.

Can’t you get a skull like normal people?

It’s one of my many theme songs. Song just does something to your soul if you’re a believer in something greater than yourself :wolf:

Really? WoW. That’s a shame. Time hasn’t been kind on here.

I’m sure some of the Posters will become Loremaster Purists shutting down Wild Mass Guessing overtime. It always happens. The first one I remember was a Night Elf Druid.

Those wretched Night Elf Posters, I tell ya.

Other than that, I am not sure what you are talking about. Wild guesses?

If you are going to guess that Sailor Moon and My Little Pony are The First Ones, that is pretty far out.

My narcissism thinks this is about me.

Tumblr is for headcanons, there’s too many people here who treat headcanon as fact (even me.) We need to be reminded that filling in the blanks with headcanon is noncanonical.

Honestly, I would expect that from people who care about lore.

Filling in the blanks when we don’t have definitive answers is fine by me :wolf:

I guess it depends how it is framed. Sometimes people frame their theories and guesses as what they are. That seems fair.

It is when people frame their theories and guesses as facts where it might get called out as malarkey. And rightfully so.

Some people said : “Well, the Alliance controls Lordaeron” as a theory, but they claimed it as a fact in the absence of lore, at the end of BfA.

Others said : “ that may not be true. It appears the Alliance withdrew. It is not certain.”

Then we learned it was blighted but held by Forsaken remnants. And the people who theorized it was controlled by the Alliance in the absence of lore were proven wrong.

That’s like “the Horde holds Darkshore”

Okay, but we were told by the Devs the Alliance victories in warfronts are canon. So even if there’s ongoing skirmishes the Night Elves control Darkshore.

One of the most annoying things about my small town is we don’t have a tattooist (or a sushi joint despite being SEAFOOD CENTRAL, or a real book store, or a movie theatre), so I have a lot of ink I’d like to get to work on what will eventually be a sleeve full of stylized representations of things that are important to me… But I need to wait for this mythical beast called “free time” so I can make an appointment, drive several hours, and be out of town for a day without something exploding or catching on fire.

…Also, my department is currently chronically low on entry certified firefighters, and whenever I’m out of town, I get concerned. The last fire, we had 3 people who could make entry show up (counting me). NNNN.

But I eventually want a Scythian style griffin for my shoulder (a bit of heritage, a bit of history, a lot of cool, and my dog growning up was named Griffin), a very stylized diagram of a dog team layout, and something for fermenting and beer. It may be a crock, but my goal is that if I get mummified, future archeologists won’t be able to date me based on my tattoos.

And that they don’t clash when I go to the Anchorage Pirate Pub Crawl, which is actually amazing and is a fund raiser for the Blood Bank of Alaska where everyone dresses as terribly inaccurate glorious pirates and wanders through downtown Anchorage, yelling ARRRR at each other and confusing innocent tourists.

Well I just got my second character to level 50. And so far with flying, riding in the Maw and being able to skip that torturously long intro SL is better.

Well. By better I of course mean tolerable.

Thus far.
