All you guys talking about “zodiac signs.” Fuck you. I was never even born. I was created in a lab.
IM SORRY WHA-
HE’S I M M O R T A L ????
his whole “ultimate lifeform” deal is less “ultimate power” and more “he can’t die of old age or disease because he was made as a prototype to cure a man’s dying granddaughter”
And in a what-if future in the comics, he just sort of waits Sonic out.
Every once in a while I’m like “Why would you make the ultimate lifeform a black and red hedgehog though?” Then I realized, if I were a scientist making a 100% immortal being I’d definitely bring life to my edgy fursona.
test tube baby or no, shadow’s still a gemini
Bitches piss on Dr. Eggman’s wife and be like Can’t help being a Gemini!
but… you do understand the actual reason behind his coloration, right? shadow’s an alien hybrid, which us possibly where the immortality factor came from in the first place. what i idly wonder is what shadow may have looked like before the black arms dna was infused.
i’ve heard theories that he might’ve been yellow, or even pure white - which could explain that small patch of white fluff on his chest. that’s the mystery here, i’d think
Yes. Also cool theories. But yeah.
I am aware of the actual reason for his coloration. I know all about the black arms. I played Shadow the Hedgehog. A lot. Thank you though.
The tea is that Irish names aren’t that bizarre and Irish spelling isn’t particularly wild in the grand scheme of languages, anglophones are just used to anglicising names and y'all think Irish is some fiddly dee dee funny fairy language and not like…an actual living language under threat
“It’s not pronounced how it’s spelled!!”
Yes it is. You’re just assuming, for whatever reason, that english spelling and pronunciation standards should apply to a language from a completely different language family
This is what I’m talking about. Why are the Brits so proud of their ignorance
Y'all have really got to stop doing this. Take a day off from mocking threatened minority languages. Americans and Brits have killed hundreds of languages already, this is not a good look from monolingual speakers of the world’s dominant language
My gran is Irish, and both my gran and my mum have Irish names, and I come across a lot of this. Like yes that’s not how you’d pronounce it in English, but the word’s not fucking English, OK?
Shockingly a language that’s not English isn’t spelled like English.
gaelic orthography is much more consistent than english. like not to be contrarian but if there’s any language that’s just spelled “however” it’s english.
My favorite catholic lore is that anyone can make holy water in a pinch but the church puts dumb restrictions on us like ‘do this only if someone needs their last rites’ like I WILL bless this McDonald’s sprite and I WILL enjoy the crispiness of our lord and savior
Another bit is that holy water cannot be diluted. When I went to the Vatican the tour guide was explaining this, if you put any amount of holy water into any amount of normal water, the whole bunch becomes holy. This is how they sell Pope Holy Water in the gift shop. This is how I’ve been drinking only holy water for two months now. I am immune to demons.
Homeopathic holy
It’s not actually any amount of holy water- according to the Church, the water has to be more than half holy water by volume. So if you take a half gallon+a few drops of holy water and a half gallon of secular water, you get one gallon of holy water, plus a few drops. You can then add a gallon of secular water to that and then you have two gallons of holy water. We’ve got a couple jugs of Pope Water in the linen closet at my parents’ house, because my mom used the heck out of this loophole after a trip to Italy in 2008. It was more than a decade ago at this point and we still have Pope Water. We no longer have that Pope, but by god do we have his water.
Here’s what a jug of Pope water looks like. Mom measured a fill line on them so that we never accidentally run out and just have old jugs of secular water lying around.
