Ooo, This Is All So PRETTY! Could We See A Close-up Of The Keychain? Also, Was The Black Fur A Design

Ooo, this is all so PRETTY! Could we see a close-up of the keychain? Also, was the black fur a design choice? It reminds me of the Stymphs' fur/plumage!!

I have no idea how to fix the camera quality, they never focus on the right thing 😭

On that note, some other things of the same topic

👇I dunno 😂

I wonder what other potions in SGE could be cool to make?

Are u fond of rollercoasters??

No, I am cowardly (as far as physical feats and things of that ilk go) and I have motion sickness.

What do you like to do to prepare for a test/quiz? A final exam??

What I do is highly dependent on the subject, so if you want, you can send in another ask, if you had any specific subject(s) in mind, and I'll respond to that.

Good versus Evil is a commonplace literary theme beyond the world of SGE, and could be likened to mirror-image symmetry, which is often seen in Soman’s juxtaposed images throughout the series. Yet, I was thinking: is there a literary equivalent for rotational symmetry and what would it look like? I think it would have to involve greater than two elements in play, each a few degrees removed from each other instead of a pair of direct opposites, but I don't have an example of this in practice.

In addition, one of the most prominent instances of juxtaposition in the series to me, by the way, is how the brothers treat their respective Deans, and how Rhian’s reaction is far more passive as he just lets Mayberry go:

And across the bay, there’s this laughable bit:

(I'm sure Rafal is not the only soul who finds it funny. Something about the timing and this being the last line to a section and the well-deserved comeuppance of the moment just read as funny.)

RIDE AT DAWN, my faithful soldiers(?). You may have a chance at saving me yet! And, surely, you'd kill for me, right? And pledge yourselves to my campaign to rule the Woods?

Then again... I kind of don't want to back down—the Pen is shiny and an offer of immortality? How tantalizing. Might as well let it stab me, just this once.

And whatever the outcome... I'll pay you in something better than "your weight in gold." Far better. That's a promise. Oh? Ahem, I almost forgot: something more ethical too. Definitely more ethical. There's nothing to fear.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think, jointly, prequel Rafal and main series "Rafal" are the only character who ever manages to rival the sheer volume of outfits Sophie has. Tedros and Agatha don't even come close.

Thus, I wanted to ask:

How many languages do u speak??

English is my first language and Spanish is my second. However, I'm not entirely fluent in Spanish, even if I understand the vast majority of what's spoken to me. Yet that generally applies to more casual discussion because I find it hard to write academically in Spanish. Once I wrote a really brief, simple screenplay scene though. That's probably the most I can do currently. Plus, I suspect my Spanish is passively going in a retrograde direction since then because I haven't used it that frequently and it needs maintenance. If I am exposed to Italian, I can understand some singular words here and there (probably because of cognates or near-cognates), but that's it.

I don't think it counts as a language as it's more of a dialect, but I am able to read Middle English (ME). Except, I rely heavily on Norton Critical Edition annotations, so it may not truly count. (Fun fact: Shakespeare is classified as New English (NE or our modern English), which shocked me when I first heard it.)

Oh, and I kind of want a second opinion on something, so I may as well put it out here: is learning Latin worth it? You see, I wish I could just... acquire it, as another language, because I want to be able to get all the references John Milton (and some others) make if I ever read more of his works, so I could feel "hyperliterary," like what I've been told about the lens with which he saw the world. Then again, the annotations are enough for me to get certain words' provenance, or why one word was a significant choice over another, so I feel like it would be useless otherwise.
