Idk about the mucous, but a fever is definitely an attempt at killing whatever foreign pathogen is there. Hopefully a pathologist or doctor can help us here.

Alternative ending:

shadowy creature picks up scyth off the blood-stained ground, enters carrying the severed skull of the Grim Reaper.

“I am become Death, reaper of souls. Your time has come…”

So many good names to reuse. I say we pull out some victorian names, we’ve gotten past the “that’s my grandma” part of the cycle so it’s about due pretty soon.

Yeah, I instinctively tried to open mine with vinyl gloves on once and immediately thought “I’m dumb, gotta take these gloves off first.” That was a good shock when it actually worked first try, much confusion…

I want to see a shoulder-mounted crossbow turret as a form of mobile, halfling-scaled balista. A medieval tank of sorts.

Maybe a tonal difference as well?

I mean, this is somewhat true… self-hatred in itself is a terrible thing. But you can use it as motivation, and reason to change into a better version of yourself. Of course that would be easier without all the self-deprecation, not saying its a good thing, but there’s always a way to work with what you’re given and turn it around, even if just to make a little bit of progress each day. That’s how I found the willpower to finally start transitioning. I couldn’t look myself in the mirror without crying, so I tried to single out one thing that was “wrong with me” (which is especially hard in the beginning when it feels like that’s literally everything), and do something, no matter how small, about it. Years later I still hate how I look sometimes, but I’m slowly getting better at it and starting to be someone I like.

Learn some f*cking trigger discipline! One bump in the road and… yeah no, not good.

The belt in question:

Agreed. While I love dogs like crazy, and personally don’t mind it (I’m big enough that it’s not a problem), I only think it’s OK if it’s a puppy who isn’t old enough to have learned yet… and even then they need to be trained, or they won’t behave later.

Am a cat person, loved the joke. It is quite accurate.

Thor:

Hahaha, this stupid Jotunn wants to be struck! Time for target practice!

Technology? Who uses technology in the military?

Archaic, painstaking methods of uniform maintainence build discipline. Why would this change even in a thousand years?

This has got to be such a pain to sew when you rank up…

Wait 'till all the cybernetics ethics committees start to regulate protogen pups as “unethical”…

Thank you for deciphering this… as someone who can read runes somewhat I was very confused.

Google translate sucks at Latin… Discō is in no way “I am going.” It could be translated as “I am learning (by means of, regarding, in some way relating to) hell/“The Inferno” (which could be taken symbolically as torture).” So yeah, they’re stretching the grammar a bit, although I’ve seen worse in Cicero. A less poetic translation would be “Per dolorem disco,” but that’s nowhere near as funny to say aloud…

I wish I was there to remember it lol. On a different note, historians will know exactly what happened; the story is written around the stone in runes…

I’ll die trying to pet something I shouldn’t, and at least get to cuddle with a lion cub before mommy lion rips my throat out.
