Oh, I've written books on several topics... they're more like encyclopedias in a tutorial format that read like a super long YouTube video.
I'm a prime example of what happens when autism is allowed to go off and pointed in one direction

If hit, the target is stunned for a round
Immortality is an interesting thought experiment. Yes, looking young while being shockingly old is a fun thing to suprise people with, but the concept of time itself would be so terrible that everything would be a blur. Your friend would have to correct you on what happened when.
"That happened in the 60s,"
Really? What century?
"1960's."
Was that during speakeasies?
"No, that was during the 1920's. The 60's had hippies and Woodstock."
Oh, yeah. Everything's been a blur since everyone got a car.
They'd also probably forget EVERYONE'S name because the immortal has been around for so long. So it'll feel like you're doing with your great grandparents all the time.
Henry?
"No, I'm Steve."
Oh. You remind me of Henry.
"Human bodies are wildly unpredictable. Your now-fading memories of the terrifying might and power you recently embodied will make for a depressing comparison to the unreliable form you're now piloting. You might be able to run a mile and feel great, but then somehow dislocate your neck while you're sleeping."
—excerpt from The Demon's Guide to Human Possession
I heard that's the sign the hatter needs a new hobby. Poor forms means poor fitting hats which leads to buckles
We went to MEDIEVAL DAY at the local museum and it was so much but I am so happy
We got to see blacksmithing! Someone was making an armour stand! I chatted to him about butted vs riveted mail! I got to do a little bit of tablet weaving AND got directions to a weaving group that meets at the same place as where the blacksmithing classes are held!! I got to talk about looms and spinning with fibre people!!
We had mulled wine and listened to a flute and nyckelharpa performance AND to top it all off we went to a viewing of the princess bride where we were encouraged to yell lines back at the screen and I got to introduce my friends to a new friend from art school and I want to set up my frame loom for tablet weaving AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (when I get back from dinner)
Headcanon: goblin is a homophone heavy language; you can learn a quarter or so of it and b able to understand the rest.
This sounds amazing, but it also has the Grammer of a drunk man: n's and l's are dropped, double letters are dropped, and many noises are terribly recorded.
A number of words are borrowed words from other languages as well, which makes it more complicated.
Example: "behl e banum" has several possibilities:
Either "that large animal is over there" or "that large animal is constipated," or "nose in dirt, poo is good," and only those fluent in the language understand the context and how to respond without sounding like an idiot.
"Gway ot ma gassa" gets even messier; "ma gassa" and "magassa" are two completely different things, and "ot" and "öt" can lead to disaster if swapped around.
This is why it sounds like noise; because it's several layers of context and percise pronunciation.
They seem like canon fodder, but in groups, word spreads fast, and what's implied is understood.
