What I meant was, everyone on Earth knew about night, and would've been using language to describe it, regardless of what people thousands of miles away call it. Horses were not everywhere on Earth, and so the first people to encounter and domesticate them kinda got dibs on what they were called.

Night is so ubiquitous on Earth that it's no surprise there are thousands of different words for it across cultures and even within language families.

The patterns in these letter blinks are strangely comforting.

Man, synchronicity. It's weird you said "fever dream" and not literally anything else. I'm watching Bob's Burgers s7.e1 and the beginning has a bit that mentioned a fever dream and then my son told me about his fever dream, then I fuckin read your goddamn comment.

Yeah but the illusion will remain so that you willingly get devoured by the Beast. Yes, you'll get eaten. But the Beast is not unkind.
