Actual roman epitaph for a dog
Random linguistic worldbuilding: A language with six sets of pronouns, which are set by one's current state of existence. There's a separate pronoun for people who are alive, people who are dead, and potential future people who are yet to be born, and the ambiguous ones of "may or may not be alive or aleady dead", "may or may not have even been born yet", and the ultimate general/ambiguous all-covering one that covers all ambiguous states.
The culture has a specific defined term for that tragic span of time when a widow keeps accidentally referring to their spouse with living pronouns. New parents-to-be dropping the happy surprise news of a pregnancy by referring to their future child with the "is yet to be born" pronoun instead of a more ambiguous one and waiting for the "wait what did you just say?" reactions.
Someone jokingly referring to themselves with the dead person pronouns just to highlight how horrible their current hangover is. A notorious aspiring ladies' man who keeps trying to pursue women in their 20s despite of approaching middle age fails to notice the insult when someone asks him when he's planning to get married, and uses the pronoun that implies that his ideal future bride may not even be born yet.
A mother whose young adult child just moved away from home for the first time, who continues to dramatically refer to their child with "may or may not be already dead" until the aforementioned child replies to her on facebook like "ma stop telling people I'm dead" and having her respond with "well how could I possibly know that when you don't even write to us? >:,C"

Ash on YouTube's the best example of this I could find ^^
Ok.
Hear me out. Animators out there, epic fans.
I would have had Ody shoot Antonious from the dark, across the 12 axes.
I would have had him lurking in the back as Antonious was ralling the people and getting them to kill telemachus and assault Ody's wife.
We see the camera spinning around Antonious, on every revolution, we see Ody preparing, frames of him stringing the bow, taking aim.
Until we finally go behind the 12 axes and we see the camera move fast, crossing them and finally the arrow striking Antonious' throat.
And from the dark, Odysseus emerges.
Oh also, before this begins, we see Ody greeting Argos before blending in the dark.
This is the plot of Beauty and the Beast
I read the phrase “transitioned onto land” for about the thousandth time the other day, but this time I noticed an opportunity!
People talk about Elsa's "Let it Go" moment having killed the men of the Terror and the Erebus, but it goes farther than that. That same historically cold winter of 1846/1847 also caused so much snow that it led to an infamous American tragedy, as I learned when I read the nonfiction work The Indifferent Stars Above.
If Elsa killed the Terror and Erebus men, then she also doomed the Donner Party.
You know what, just take it, just take the damn news report
