So The Place In New Zealand With The World's Longest One-word Place Name, Taumatawhakatangihangakoauautamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu,

So the place in New Zealand with the world's longest one-word place name, taumatawhakatangihangakoauautamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, when people talk about it or ask directions, do they like, try to pronounce the beginning of it and wait for the other person to know what they're talking about? Or is there a shortened version of it that people use? Or like

"I heard you like bad boys. Well I'm bad at everything" vibes

fun fact yall

the first time i read SoC, i did it because i was scrolling thru instagram one day, and a post came up - that was a screenshot of a tumblr post, incidentally - about kaz and inej.

the thing is that then, i was just shifting from my twilight era to my anti-twilight era (dont even ask why i ever liked it but anyways), and i saw this post about kaz and inej directly after a post about how vampirism works in the twilight world - and, very logically*, my brain decided that either kaz or inej, or both, were vampires.

so the first time I read SoC, i read it through that lens - when do we find out, which one is it, it's probably kaz i mean he's pale af and literally doesn't sleep istg, yeah no it's def kaz i mean we keep hearing about dirtyhands' secrets...when is the secret going to come out?

i was more than halfway through six of crows when i realised.

(This is obviously a completely serious question)

Conversations I Think Happened in the Grasslands Pt. 2:

Part 1 here

Lloyd: So your the First Spinjitzu Master right. Does that mean you’re good at all types of spinning or just spinjitzu?

FSM: Elaborate.

Lloyd: Like pirouettes and fouettés? Because Cole taught me how to do them and they’re really fun.

FSM, sighing: Yes, I can do those and I’m rather good at them.

Lloyd, delighted: This is the best day of my life!

Lloyd: So what was my dad like as a child?

FSM: He was a lot nicer than you’d think. Quite a lovely child, even after the venom. The venom didn’t really properly quick in until his late teens you know.

FSM: Now Wu on the other hand.

Lloyd: So if you’re half Oni and half dragon why do you look human?

FSM: Because Oni are shapeshifters and I didn’t want to spend the entire time you were here bending over to look at you and end up myself back pain.

Lloyd: Why would be you be bending over?

FSM: Because I’m 10’6.

Lloyd: What?! Why am I short then?

FSM: I don’t know but you certainly didn’t get it from me.

Lloyd: So why'd you have to divid the continent in two anyway

FSM: It seemed like a good idea at the time. Besides it worked didn't it?

Lloyd: ...

FSM: Will you stop judging me I was a teenager!

Lloyd: So was I and I didn't have to divided the continent

Lloyd: *Thinking*

Lloyd: Wait how old were you when made Ninjago then?

FSM: Younger than that.
