Amazon has a preview of the glossary in Aff's Diary: Blessed Hope, and the setting is as boring as I expected and then some. The deer analogue, except they don't shed their horns and they're omnivorous, are called branch-horns. The bamboo analogue is wood-grass. The knifetooth is the smilodon-analogue. This isn't calling a rabbit a smeerp, this is calling a rabbit a hop-mouse.

Final Fantasy VII, king of bizarre monsters, has a haunted house enemy and a triceratops tank and pumpkin heads called Dorky Faces.
In the game Carnevil, there’s a giant undead baby and there’s a toggle switch in the game or on the cabinet that replaces it with a grotesque teddy bear because shooting giant undead babies is controversial. There's a place in New Hampshire that Michael went to and he wondered if there was any way he could toggle the switch.
In one of the Shadow Hearts games, there are the spirits of stillborn children. Of course, there are actual vampires like that in Malaysian folklore.

A visitor's hair was the color of neodymium and she had tattoos of a face in profile, a rose with a jeweled dagger through it, a skull. Her friend had three rats named Africa, India, and Malaysia.


This is a great horned owl baby.

So speaking of toxic communities and toxic masculinity, an “incel” drove a van into a crowd in Toronto. On Democratic Underground, Leftynyc and Codeine and Romanic accusing the rest of the forum of sweeping it under the rug and then there’s nary to be heard from them once they found out he’s not a Muslim.

I don’t think Pol Pot’s regime lasted long enough for him to really be concerned with what to do about the population of Cambodia being depleted and the resulting shortage of labour that comes with killing a quarter of your population and forcing the rest of them to adjust to an agrarian lifestyle.
They basically lived like slasher movie villains after 1979.

Emily was eating chicken marinated in pesto and Italian dressing and rice and broccoli in which the broccoli was hiding, and when her dad was making the chicken, one of their chickens was strutting about, oblivious.

Emily says that the squirrels can bite her all they want as long as they eat their food.

burning question: could you imagine the world if squirrels developed a taste for human flesh?
