Hodiernal [HO-dee-ER-nul] (adj.) - Of or pertaining to this present day; today; contemporary. “The hodiernal luncheon of the Ladies’ Bicycle Club descended into an ostrobogulous colloquy concerning whether the pleasures of cycling might explain the younger generation’s waning interest in suitors.”

Sometimes you get a work e-mail and you're like 'do they actually want me to find a solution to this b/c it WOULD involve me bending over backward or do they want me to say no but THEY can't say no'.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

You Maniac 9 - okay so here is the issue with translations and localizations like. I understand why you use congee here but you say 'rice porridge or congee' and I know Dean says 'jok' and I'm not sure what he says next. Is there a different rice porridge word?

'what do you mean you haven't asked dean to be your boyfriend' because whenever they edge close to a relationship disaster strikes

THEY HAD ACCEPTED HOW THEY FELT. DEAN IS DEALING WITH THE DEATH OF HIS FATHER AND HIS UNSETTLED TRAUMA AND HE HAS BEEN SPIRALING AND MOTH IS PERFECTLY IN THE RIGHTS TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT KIND OF HURT.

Actually I do like the idea of them having a 'people Dean has slept with' groupchat that Ten is included in because all of them are CONVINCED that Dean has slept with him at least once

WHAT DID YOU AND DEAN FIGHT ABOUT Oh so Ohm and BOom and Punn do have a groupchat. 'Rooting For The Trashfire Groupchat' 'Dean's Harem + Punn (Ten you count)'

Mom that's great but maybe we should have communicated this to Dean when there was time for him to see his father's sincerity.

IT'S NOT EVEN EPISODE 7 GUYS. WHAT IS THIS EPISODE 9 HEARTBREAK. THIS BETTER BE THE FINAL HEARTBREAK. THE REST OF THIS SHOW BETTER BE GETTING BACK TOGETHER AND BEING CUTE. YOU BETTER SUCK FACE AND TUCK IN.

OUR RELATIONSHIP WAS BUILT ON A LIE. I AM JUST AS BAD AS MY FATHER. oh wow so moth knew AND dean knew huh ... you know, Dean, if you're both using each other, is that not in a way a consensual relationship

Dean: I have trauma b/c I thought my parents were in love but it turns out dad was having an affair and so all the ways he showed love to my mother were done out of guilt and thus I myself give EASY affection everywhere because it's not a real relationship and I'm very open about it

Yeah, like, Moth, I'll be honest. Punn does not know Dean. The fact he's going to the funeral things at all... Ten going makes sense. But he does have his own life.

Ah, yes, the hyper-focusing on the small everyday life parts of shock. I can do this. I can focus on this. I can't do anything else but I can make sure we finished our meal, I can put away leftovers and throw out the trash. I can offer dessert. Because everything is fine.

Also my endless annoyance with 'so we're going to find a foreign word for these subtitles because the concept is difficult to explain in english and thus-' lik when I see 'bon appetit' for itadakimasu.

Mr. Fanboy Prediction - the stalker Nine got texts from is going to reveal themselves to him (I DID IT ALL FOR YOU) and Nine's gonna react pretty much the same way he did with Wan (DID I ASK) and that's gonna end badly.

I honestly want Nine to survive this series and still come out... not on top, no, I know that's not possible. BUT MAYBE HE CAN GO HEAL. He was just trying to survive!!!! AND THRIVE!!!
