Luckily no-one is ever going to make the mistake of asking me to adapt a fantasy story for television, but if they did, I am pretty sure I would not pick the one with an extremely thin story, because itโ€™s basically just a fan service book to stop the awful fans from bullying the author, and what cinematic moments it does have cost a bajillion dollars per second to generate on computers.

I received a typo'd acknowledgment today, "undertandable". My diseased brain then decided to go off and spend time coming up with a meaning and etymology for that word because why would it do the things I need it to do.

From the Old English under, from PIE *nter- "between, among", and the Middle English both, from Old English toรฐ, from Porto-Germanic *tanthu, from PIE *dent, "tooth"

To be among teeth.

"undertandable" then is to be subscribed to aus.social right after someone has been to the fucking dentist.
