(( OOC: It’s time for another round of BEFORE AND AFTER, where we take the first time I cosplayed a character and compare it to one of my latest! Join me as I cringe through my past mistakes!
BEFORE:
Hey there Harry Potter, has anyone ever told you, you have your mother’s-
Uh… sparkling personality? *squints* Did someone smear lipstick all over your forehead?
AFTER:
Harry… you have your mother’s eyes. Give them back.
BEFORE:
Ginny Weasley… Wow… So bright.
Liner so sharp it could kill a man… and then rob a bank… and then pass standardized testing with flying colors.
(( OOC: So yesterday was me and Meg’s anniversary, and I know many of you have been asking for bloopers from the 3 months Meg was living with me, and I finally managed to get around to it… so here ya go!
Disclaimer: You will witness excessive amounts of Bisexual PDA and listen to a copious amount of whining. You have been warned. ))
Can we just take a moment and appreciate Arthur “tell me about rubber ducks” Weasley freaking full body slamming Lucius Malfoy into a bookshelf? Like screw magic, I’m gonna stomp the bigotry out of you with my BOOTS!
I JUST LEARNED ABOUT DANISH NUMBERS ALL OTHER LANGUAGE CRIMES ARE FORGIVEN WE MUST UNITE TO DEFEAT THE TRUE EVIL
WE’VE BEEN TRYING
sincerely, the swedes
please explain
The Swedes and the Danes are like the French and the English – been at war for hundreds of years, but are now enjoying a peace built on a solid foundation of mutual shade. After becoming acquainted with the Danish numerical system I find myself sympathising with the Swedes.
@imoldbutimstillintothat tells me “they call 90 “halvfems” aka half fives and by that they mean 4*20 + 0.5*20. And same goes for 70 which they call halvfjerds. (3*20+0.5*20)”
I’ve read that sentence 3 times and I still don’t understand it
Haha sorry. They, like the French count by scores (quatre-vingt being 80) I think. So halvfems (half fives) (aka 90) are four score plus one half score of the fifth one or so I have been told. But 100 is hundrede in Danish so they’re not even making consistently no sense.
and this is all without getting into how utterly ridiculous their language is. this is just basic numbers.
My eyes literally glazed over when I saw the math.
NOPE.
You use numbers for math not math for numbers.
@dorathemetamorphmagus I’m so offended by our own numbers. But even more offended by that B99 episode.
Also: 70 (halvfjerds) is actually a short version of the original name for the number which is “halvfiresnes” (half four snes (a snes is an amount of 20). So you have your amount of 4 20s and then a half = 70. Makes perfect sense guys….
I hate your stupid system like Denmark please go home YOU’RE FREAKING DRUNK
