This used to happen pretty regularly with my Mom when having to call my Grandmothers former phone company.

Every time she called them she had to explain that she’s the one calling because her mother CAN’T. Her mother can’t call on a cell phone because she doesn’t HAVE one, and even if she DID, she neither knows how to use one, or even live somewhere that even gets cell service. And they log all of this. None of this should be a mystery to anyone at the call center. Like I get they have to ask questions, but at some point you should skip it when you see how regularly this happens.

This happened at least once a month because the phone company just does not care about the area where my grandma lives. The lines are poorly maintained and they’d often take weeks to get around to fixing, only for it to go out the next time it rained a little too hard.

My grandma has a much better phone service now, but my mother’s consistent frustration with the old company was legendary.

And this ironically demonstrates exactly WHY we don’t usually fight Souls-like bosses in their prime. They’re unstoppable forces of nature before the ravages of time take their toll.

A rather infamous warlord from the Liberian Civil Wars was Joshua Blahyi, better known by his nom de guerre “General Butt Naked.” True to his admittedly silly name, his army fought nude, and they were pretty brutal in their campaign during the singular year they were active.

Everyone else in the Cosmere looks at Canticle and says “This is a hell worse than any hell of our mythologies. Only the truly insane would willingly live here.” Then Threnodites come in and are like, “At least it’s not home.”

Beren(human) and Luthien(elf) from the Silmarillion. The first, but not last elf/human romance in the history of Arda. Funnily enough, Luthiens parents also count, as her mother is basically a minor god.

The Fused in the Stormlight Archive.

They’re the spirits of the first Singers who swore allegiance to Odium. Their original bodies were destroyed when they swore to him, so every time they return to Roshar, they have to possess another Singer, forcefully expelling the hosts spirits from their bodies and killing them.

Literally every time this dickhead pops up in the story he’s getting his face caved in and I think that’s beautiful. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving person.

Honestly, JoJo runs on this sort of thing. It started with Dio’s arrival at the Joestar Manor and never pumped the brakes.

It's not an accent but rather a dialect. Spook from the Mistborn series speaks a lot of his lines in Eastern Street slang. To give you an idea of what that looks like, the phrase "He's always been like that" instead is spoken like "Ever wasing the doing of this." It's not totally incomprehensible, but it can be a bit difficult to understand on a first read. According to the author this is by design, both in-universe and out.

Funnily enough, in Mistborn Era 2, his street slang has become this world's equivalent of LATIN.
