The word bairn (child), which is used in Scots, Northern and Scottish English, is closely related to born and to the verb to bear. These words all come from a root meaning 'to carry'. When a baby is born it's been carried to term. The infant is then carried around. Click the infographic for more.

As the resident creative I often get messages of relatives saying “you should turn this into a comic/badge” which is sweet but usually it’s stuff that can’t be translated into the medium but I appreciate them thinking of me anyway.
That being said, I am currently staring at a notification that before the cut-off point says “I got a badge idea for you! You should draw an Indian-“ and you know I am going to unpack that after my shift

It caught me off guard but there’s this exchange between Hosea and Arthur that for me happened right after the bear hunt, where Arthur suddenly says his back hurts, and Hosea gleefully says “well lie down and let me get crackin” and Arthur is like haha NOOOooooo! no thank you I am backing away from this interaction haha! the implications are killing me
1. Hosea gives back massages
2. Hosea is extremely enthusiastic
3. Said massages are terrifying for the recipients, to the point that it has become a running joke in the gang.

Y'know how cats are often drawn to people don't like them? Well, Dutch is a bit cat-coded, isn't he? I could see him drawn to his dislikers and he'd do things like knock over their glass of drink on the table, and then sits in their lap and gives a head boop. And demands pets.
Congratulations, you've adopted a cat.
