It’s valentine’s day and that means the return of awful FL valentines!
It’s time to bring these out again
No new ones this year, sorry. Maybe if I get my new computer before the end of the Feast I’ll do a few.
IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST
OR ‘PEAKED’
BUT PIQUED
‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’
THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA
THIS IS ACTUALLY REALLY USEFUL THANK YOU
ADDITIONALLY:
YOU ARE NOT ‘PHASED’. YOU ARE ‘FAZED.’
IF IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG DAY, YOU ARE ‘WEARY’. IF SOMEONE IS ACTING IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU SUSPICIOUS, YOU ARE ‘WARY’.
ALL IN ‘DUE’ TIME, NOT ‘DO’ TIME
‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’
THANK YOU

YOU CANNOT “BALL” YOUR EYES OUT

THANK YOU.

((adm: I just want to add-
Loose- untight
Lose- opposite of winning))
((ALSO: A fun trick -
Affect = Action
Effect = End Result ))
There = In that place
Their = belonging to them
can’t = a contraction for cannot
cant = a tilt or lean at an angle, usually to accommodate accessibility
Me thinking that this is child’s play and that I know it all already:
Me realising there are some things I didn’t already know:
TO- GOING ONE PLACE TOWARDS ANOTHER
TWO- 2, A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 AND 3
TOO- A DESCRIPTIVE WORD, THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD, THE SHIRT IS TOO LOOSE.
Trick for telling whether to use “me” or “i”
Drop the other subject(s) and if the sentence makes sense, you’re using the right one.
Examples:
Incorrect- Arthur and me are going to the mall//me am going to the mall -no
Correct- Arthur and i are going to the mall//i am going to the mall
Incorrect- they brought presents for Henry and i//they brought presents for i -no
Correct- they brought presents for Henry and me//they brought presents for me
Rogue - a scoundrel or disreputable person
Rouge - a kind of makeup
IT IS A TENET OF YOUR RELIGION
Vicious- mean
Viscous- sticky
Conscious- awake, mindful
Conscience- Jiminy Cricket
The affect vs effect thing is very useful! Until you learn that you can effect (to cause to occur; bring about; accomplish) an affect (feeling or emotion, OR outward expression of same; yes, this is two nouns!) because English is a garbage fire.

One time I was DMing a campaign where the players walked into that tavern every campaign has and one of the patrons was a Mindflayer wearing a very bad human disguise who insisted his name was Johnald Humanman. And they were just like "Oh, okay. Well, that's his business" and didn't interact with Johnald Humanman at all.
I planned for a lot of eventualities but I never planned for a D&D party being polite
I once had a DM tell us that we completed a quest line about 3 sessions earlier than he expected because we got told by a group of lizardfolk that “nobody goes to that part of the swamp” and all went “huh, ok! Thanks for the warning” and just didn’t go
My wife would totally name an NPC that tho
I just found a website called stonesoup.com and for a glorious moment I was fully convinced that this was a website completely dedicated to the type of European folktales in which a poor traveller cons their stingy host into letting them cook “stone soup” by boiling a “magic stone” in water (and then adding all kinds of good stuff to make an actual good soup)
Sadly it turns out that Stone Soup is a literary magazine, but they do have a whole page on the history of stone soup folklore in print.
I wonder if all stone soup stories have a different recipe, the one I know goes like this:
Huh. The one “Stone Soup” story that I know of is the Russian one, and instead of a Definitely Magical Soup Stone it uses a Hatchet.
I’ve seen that one around too! Usually under the name “axe porridge”:
The one I know is called “Nail Broth.” (first story at the link)
Served with brandy and sandwiches (made with butter, cheese, smoked salmon, and/or veal in any combination desired).
