It kinda blew my mind to learn today that “thou” was actually an informal form, and “you/ye” was the fancy one
Now whenever I see “thou” I read it in a tone kinda like “y’all” in tumblr posts and like… 1600s bible verses were supposed to be perfectly frank, not stilted. this changes everything………..
“Listen, then, if y'all have ears!” - Jesus, maybe
In a new campaign I’m part of, my character is a rogue, Awakened Undead fan race. He’s a skeleton, but he knows that’s unnatural and does his best to hide it. I coordinated with the DM ahead of time to work the twist into the story later, but for now we’re only one session in.
I commented privately to the DM that I was disappointed no one had commented on the fact that I’m completely covered head to toe, so he starts laying the hints on thick.
DM: So the four of you see the rogue (me) on the edge of the guard post you’re looting. It’s getting pretty late, but he hasn’t started a fire and doesn’t seem to notice the cold.
Ranger: I go start a fire next to him and get camp ready for the night.
DM: Alright, you start the fire. He doesn’t seem to care if it’s there or not.
Mage: I start cooking food and handing it out to everyone.
Me: Oh, no, I’m fine, thank you.
Fighter, ooc: You know, it seems like your character just doesn’t give a fuck about life.
