she mostly ignores slurries of Bird Terms but if one stands out and it comes up later she’s like “WAIT”

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

I realize I typo’d it “hillybilly” but honestly I’m keeping it that’s funnier

Avatar
Aurelius

ok but clearly all hillbilly means, from context clues, is someone that forms large groups, likes breakfasts buffets, and has a perchant for singing songs about history

Avatar
Aurelius

because that’s where the overlap is

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

from context clues she’s gathered it’s not a compliment (she’s not actually mad)

Avatar

in the same way that any sci-fi with cool people does as time passes

Avatar
Salme, The Sword-Saint

what I have pieced together is “an old antagonist / had a weird book about jorule? / catholic? / all your base are belong to us meme?”

oh no that last one was obv in response to ‘religious conversion’
