the thing about seasons is, and you learn this from years of experience, they don't fear the reaper. and get this - neither do the wind, the sun or the rain! unbelievable, right? now what if i told you, we can be like they are

california girls, we're inconceivable
cosmic dread, bikinis on top
eldritch forms so hot that you'll grow tentacles
whoa-oa-oa, whoa-oa-oa-oa

if your tacticool bug-out bag survival kit thing doesn't have an instant ramen flavor packet in it, can you really claim to be prepared for anything

dominaria united sounds like a soccer club. i hope they win against real madrid

@junebug i thought you were talking about the real world until i looked at the rest of the thread

@Siph mood

@frostwolf https://www.tofugu.com/japanese-grammar/desu/ this page has a good deep dive on です if you're curious to know more

@frostwolf 「私はかわいかった」means "i was cute", and the polite form is 「私はかわいかったです」which uses the です word for politeness even though it doesn't make sense grammatically otherwise

@frostwolf だ is the copula, which means it's the verb for "to be" (as in, saying one noun is another noun). です is the polite version of the copula, but it's also used to mark politeness in some cases when it's otherwise not grammatically necessary

かわいい is an adjective that functions as a verb in certain circumstances. most adjectives ending in 〜い behave this way

@frostwolf the rules surrounding when you should use だ and です are complicated, because they serve a couple different functions... for instance, many adjectives function as verbs on their own - if you wanted to say "i'm cute", 「私はかわいい」is correct in its own and does not take だ at all, and you'd only add です for politeness

@frostwolf my face when

@frostwolf strictly speaking, in statements of identity like this ("noun x is noun y"), だ (or the politer です) is grammatically necessary to include

i have no face and i must mfw

has anyone ever done holding out for a hero to the tune of the pokémon theme song
