Conversations are like a ball game.
You have to work with the other person to make it fun:
You don't hog the ball all for yourself, but you don't have them throw the ball at you over and over again while you nod and smile
You don't throw it back as fast as you can because you don't have time to aim and then the ball gets stuck in a tree.
At least in most cases.
Humans are not so simple
Sometimes some people like or are fine being hit by a ball repeatedly as long as the other can happily play like some hyperactive child.
Sometimes a person climbs the tree to retrieve the ball and even though it killed the flow they're more than willing to play with you again.
Sometimes two people have spent so much time playing ball together they don't even have to think about it when they throw the ball, they synergise so well they can play with their eyes closed.
Sometimes it's not the way you throw the ball but the ball itself, maybe it's doesn't go well for this game or person and you need a more adequate ball.
Sometimes the other person is not in the mood to play.
Sometimes they just want to enjoy some time with you in silence.
Sometimes the other person is a jerk and they keep aiming at your face or refusing to play and you have better things to do than keep trying to play with this jerk-ass jerk.
Sometimes you have the ball in your hands and you start to overthink of all the ways you could embarrass yourself throwing this ball and you stand there for an hour.
Sometimes you don't know how to play ball games or you forgot and you have to relearn.
So if you had bad experiences with ball games that doesn't mean all ball games are bad and you should give up on ball games forever.
There are so many of them and so many different ways to play them!
There badminton and soccer and baseball and ping-pong and mini golf and I could be here all day.
And if you don't want to play ball with someone but still play ball then you can play alone for some self reflection or draw a face on your ball and let people admire it.
And I just love ball games and I hope reading this may make you like them a little too.
CONVERSATIONS NEAR THE SEA
my humble opinion on the smelly jars in the kitchen
me: my mom recently watched some cooking stuff online
and she has like
four different pickling jars going on
and sometimes when she opens and closes them it smells like a cow came and farted in the kitchen
Friend: lol
me: they better taste really good when they're ready =_=
Friend: haha
Makes perfect sense and I do remember Rey, when she first arrived, found some writing in Basic but couldn’t read/make sense of it.
Fynn Ren … looks interesting … I kinda want put an ‘L’ between the ‘F’ and the ‘Y’
*laughs*
I have a question about Whom Hades Seized, how do the names of the Knights of Ren work? When you join are you assigned a name based off of your gift(s) or is it selected from a list or do you take the name of one that died/retired?
My answer turned into a short essay? Oops.
Knights whose given birth names are already in High Basic are not renamed. Hecate, Thanatos, and Dion were all born to Imperial/First Order parents, so their parents would have given them High Basic names from the beginning. Morpheus also named Phobetor in High Basic, even though it was not his first language. For those whose birth names were originally in other languages, their name would be transliterated and sometimes shortened into High Basic (not translated!). So Strei-kai-loro became Kylo. Morpheus, Nyx, and Pasithea all changed their birth names into the High Basic ones they use now.
The knights’ familial names are dropped and replaced with the title “Ren.” It is essentially a symbolic marker that they have joined the Knights. For example, Hecate was born “Hecate Soteria,” but when she joined the Knights, she became “Hecate Ren.”
There is no concept of retirement for the knights. They keep the title “Ren” until death. It is very rare, but knights may choose to leave, or they could commit some grievous wrong and be banished from the knights. In those cases, they would not be permitted to keep the title.
The normal naming rules don’t apply to the King of the Dead. Kylo retains all of his names and titles at once, both on the maternal and paternal sides. That would include the title “Ren.” You might have noticed that Thrawn didn’t quite understand this, because the ways of the knights are fairly hidden and they stay out of court politics. It is a common misconception that Kylo, like the rest of the Knights, dropped his family names to take the title “Ren.” Which would have made the blood rite impossible, since it requires one person to confer a family name onto the other person.
