• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Pokemon X/Y

    They're birds and can learn Fly (yes, I know ostriches can't fly, but they're still birds.) I mean, I guess it could be ridiculous for ridiculous' sake, but Pokémon hasn't really resorted to that before. Also, is the cards attack not... pretty obviously Trump Card? Eevee learns it. EDIT: Oh...

    Pokemon X/Y

    Not to really detract from the argument, but keep in mind Japan didn't have nearly the reaction to Gardevoir as the western world did (to my knowledge) and Mr. Mime's Japanese name doesn't imply gender at all. That said, I really hope they don't make Sylveon female-only for both ideological and...

    Would you like to have children?

    While I do think I would make a good parent — I am quite excellent and friendly with kids — I do not want children of my own. I may consider adoption later in life, but having a child is the worst thing you can do for the planet.

    Do You Like To Wear Shoes?

    Depends on the shoes, depends on the venue. I don't wear shoes in my apartment, but do basically everywhere else. I just got these bad boys and I cannot wait to wear them for Saturday's concert. I want boots.

    Pokemon X/Y

    I remember seeing this image, like, the day of the trailer. #tcod consensus was that Fennekin-final has some neat bits but is overall entirely too ridiculous. I also feel that most fake starter-finals are too "scared" to depart from the basic's design too much (see also quadrupedal Samurott and...

    HTML Setting?

    The BBCode HTML tags are just a more specific-use than the regular CODE tags; that is, it is for displaying your already-written code to others (so they may view or copy it) with HTML-specific syntax highlighting. For safety reasons, you cannot use HTML in posts. Sorry.

    Gender-Neutral Terms?

    I have to say this seems really weird since hir is like... his + her fused together, which just makes it seem neutral-sure-but-still-with-clearly-binary-influences? (and also can still sound very much like 'her', especially factoring in dialect and speech tendencies). And while it is by no means...

    Gender-Neutral Terms?

    Why xie, out of curiosity? It's even less standard than singular they or Spivak.

    Not great, I suppose. I had to give up on my lessons and community band because I was already feeling overwhelmed. I suppose there's the summer and next term for better planning... there will be greater disappointments, I'm sure!

    When games don't have a large enough penalty for losing.

    Most people, I think, found Kirby's Epic Yarn to be excellent — and you can't die at all in it. Also, newer Mario games still have checkpoints, so I'm not sure where you got that from. Ideally, games with deaths should have varying difficulties or otherwise customisable settings if you want...

    Best thread ever in the history of TCoD?

    Because I didn't feel like messing with the OP, as well. The New Thread button ain't goin' anywhere.

    Second half of my fifth year, eep. I'm quite ready to be done! Probably won't be until December, though. The lessons are through the school, actually. I also get flute lessons, and have done saxophone and piano in the past. Technically I'm FA, though, since the only *music*-music degree my...

    Actually it's my tenth semester... sadly. (Unless you mean second in the context of this academic year, in which case, I have!) It's been a week and I'm already kind of stressed. But I like my classes. And I'm really excited to start my voice lessons! It's far too early to start thinking about...

    Gender-Neutral Terms?

    I don't see why Spivak can't be used as generally as singular they! I am going to second you here! I haven't seen 'xie' so much, but sie and hir are like. Really difficult to discern from 'standard' binary pronouns in speech and still bear resemblance in writing...

    'Ey' in formal writing. 'Ey' or 'they' in casual writing.

    Hiya! I picked up Whipping Girl. I'm about 80 pages in and it is fantastic so far. I might finally have something to recommend for others to read.
