"Guy" and "man" have different connotations with adjectival nouns. Like "tree guy" = arborist but "tree man" = he lives in a tree, or maybe he is a tree.

oh my GOD what a delight to know this, thank you @pizzaisgo

was just once again delighted by a Middle English man being described as "fish-hole" (= fish-whole; healthy as a fish), and I think we need to bring this turn of phrase back. "Look at that guy over there, flopping and wriggling around and gasping for air. Fit as a fish!!" Do you understand my vision

*taking the Vulgate Merlin by its shoulders and shaking* please tell what was UP with Grisandole, I need to know, I need to know why it was necessary for Merlin to take a mid-crisis field trip to out a transmasculine knight and make them marry the emperor of Rome, I'm not mad (<- definitely at least a little mad), I just need to know why you felt it was necessary to take this horrific little detour in the middle of fighting the Saxons, some giants, the rebellious barons, and Arthur getting married, thank you for your time

Stop calling Perceval stupid!!!! Stop calling Perceval stupid!!!!

He’s literally me.

#seriously thoughhhhh #so now it's 'stupid' to miss most societal norms because you grew up with your isolationist hippie mom? #and it's 'stupid' to make unfortunate decisions based on those norms once you are taught them? #and also stupid to have so many big feelings that you have to literally yell at god about them #who among us etc etc etc

i like when people say "how could you eat an innocent animal" because it implies it's okay to eat guilty animals
