Squabble is based on a quibble but they stole the word and changed the spelling to distinguish the difference in culture . Understanding speling is all important . Dont believe me ... go ask a Mastodonion Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe, it is written in book that several poses photos were taken, but I am not aware of other than this one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nungali Posted October 24, 2023 5 hours ago, Cobie said: Hmm … some see a problem with that: Mortality has benefits and problems .... immortality has benefits and problems . One of the advantages immortality and power has is in relationship disputes .... as one of the Vampires demonstrated in that film ; He has a slave who must do his bidding , he has promised immortality to her in exchange ... but he has been hedging on it . She takes it up with him ; ' What about MY immortality , you run around having fun eternally , while I have to find you victims and clean up the mess after you , do your laundry, clean the house .... no other slave would be as good as I am , why if I left you , you would never be able to .... " He circles his palm in front of her face ' Silence ! ' , she rigidly shuts up . He waves her off , " Begone ! " , she stands up robotically and walks away . He turns to the camera and winks , " I love being a vampire . " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
