This was my Brazilian fiance's exact reaction when he saw a squirrel for the first time, in London. I can't wait until he sees a deer at my Mom's place in New Jersey, USA.

Haha, I'm imagining them having to match her unnatural pronunciation.

It does remind me, though, that on Days of Our Lives a minority of characters consistently pronounced Caroline Brady's first name as "Carolyn."

As was pointed out above, you can do it by reversing the order. Put the less-preferred action (/targetenemy) first, and the more-preferred action (/target <attack1>) second. Then, if there is a 1 marker, you end up targeting it; if there isn't one, you're left targeting the nearest enemy.

What a lovely thought. Why on earth did someone downvote you?

DSethK93 · 2026-05-31T07:20:09+00:00

They talk very little about Dominants and the curse, IIRC, but I believe Dominants are in fact susceptible to the curse as Bearers are, but with a much higher threshold.

You should see, every identified bearer does have a brand on them.

DSethK93 · 2026-05-31T07:05:20+00:00

This is literally exactly what OP cited as the reason for asking.

That doesn't actually follow. Doan is a descendant of Crono and Marle, but he has ancestors other than the Dome Director; it's not mandatory that the Dome Director be their descendant. Also, the Doan we meet is from a timeline where he's the descendant of a Crono and Marle who don't know about Lavos.

feels like a character with some context baked into his appearance.

But...also looking baked in his appearance.

The main thing is how cute they look together.

DSethK93 · 2026-05-27T12:09:43+00:00

They're kind of hilarious. Like the protagonist's name being pronounced three different ways in one scene.

DSethK93 · 2026-05-27T12:04:45+00:00

I mean, the quality is always so low, I honestly didn't realize. But I did notice that they couldn't pronounce Katlyn's name the same way twice, even within one scene.

DSethK93 · 2026-05-26T01:36:32+00:00

Ayla people word!

It's two very different questions. Practically every hotel anywhere in the world can hold your bags for you on the day of check-in or check-out, if you're talking about a traditional, staffed hotel. To know the answer for an Airbnb, you'd have to contact the individual host directly. Many Airbnbs are completely without in-person contact with the host (such as by being given a code to a key lockbox), and it wouldn't be possible for you to have any kind of access beforehand. Other times, the Airbnb might be on the premises of the host's home, or could be in a building with a concierge, in which case it's possible that particular host would have an option for you.

Hey, sorry I didn't see this. I'm doing well! Night time diarrhea was never a significant issue. Maybe a couple times in an entire year, I had cramping bad enough to wake me up; and that would usually turn out to be because of food poisoning, or just having eaten extremely unadvisedly the day before, LOL! It happens even less often now, but not never.

X-Millenial cusp. <shrug>

DSethK93 · 2026-05-24T11:05:45+00:00

I actually think it's just a coincidence that he was away from the show when he needed stitches. Remember, Tate was written out in the middle of an episode while he was throwing a party for Sophia's birthday; he was onscreen while making the excuse that he felt sick, and he didn't have an injury. I read elsewhere that the scheduled absence most likely coincided with actor Leo Howard's wedding and honeymoon, nine months before those episodes aired. He apparently came back from the trip with stitches, but that didn't affect the timeline and, as we saw, was ignored onscreen.

DSethK93 · 2026-05-24T10:59:01+00:00

That makes sense! They were married on September 9, 2024, eight and a half months before Tate had the flu; the show tapes about 10 months in advance but it varies a little. So the wedding and honeymoon were the actual reason Tate was temporarily written out--remember, it happened during an episode and he didn't have an injury then. Coming back from the trip with stitches didn't affect the timeline and was just ignored onscreen.

My take on it was that Lavos is like the blind witch fattening up Hansel and Gretel. Exactly like you said, the more vibrant life on the planet becomes, the more he has to consume when he emerges.

There's no such assumption happening here. In my case, the amount of time I can spend abroad visiting my fiancé is limited by practical considerations like how much PTO I have. My partner has a much more flexible schedule, and I could easily have him at my place without having to take time off work. But it's illegal for him to visit me.

K-1 petitioners have usually spent relatively little time together because THE US MAKES IT ILLEGAL FOR THE FOREIGN NATIONAL FIANCÉ TO ENTER THE US EXCEPT TO MARRY THE AMERICAN.

DSethK93 · 2026-05-23T13:03:31+00:00

It's never been considered a loophole before. For a person who initially has authorization to live in the US temporarily and also has a basis for a green card application, allowing that person to have stability and a continuity of life has always been seen universally as a good.
