little used fantasy trope i love: when two people are playing cards in a shady bar and it’s the tense moment where they show their hand but it’s a fantasy so they can’t say things like “full house” or “royal flush” so they same some nonsense like “three crowns and a dead crow” and the crowd is like “oooOOHH” so we know that’s good
Other character smirks: “Well, I’ve got a castle on four omens.”
The crowd “oohs” louder, so we know that it’s Much Better™️
thats how i feel watching scenes with regular cards
just found out that stoats hunt twice the size of them like rabbits by aggressively and eccentrically dancing around it with their little slinky rigatoni bodies so it can confuse the absolute fuck out of its prey until it can get close enough to jump on its back like some shadow of the colossus shit and take it down
oh my god its called the weasel war dance and they just go off the shits apeshit little animals
My favorite thing about working in medicine is I know every single one of those nurses is hoping to see the video of dan getting kicked in the balls. They’re gonna be so proud.
