Caelina didn’t say anything, but she didn’t look at him either — and rightly so, she had no intention of defending herself.

He stopped Duchess with a hand wave telekinetically, floating up. “Looks like our decision has been made.”

He sits her back onto the floor. He then levitates to her. “Alright, girl. I’m about to teach you some magic of your own….”

She's joking. She's jok-

And Duchess is jumping onto her lap again.

He twirls his finger, helping it slide back into place & shrinks it just enough to fit her with magic.

“ She has grown quite big since you first took her in. It’s probably hard to manage her like you use to.” He remarked.

“ I might have a solution for you.”

𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗲 @sonofpharaohs.bsky.social · 9h

— The ‘solution’ would not be to limit or expect others to abide by arbitrary rules towards ‘transparent speech’ just like he opposes the expectation others to understand the previous concepts mention.

A better solution would instead to be ask questions & clarity when confused & be open.

𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗲 @sonofpharaohs.bsky.social · 9h

We can also acknowledge that language & communication can also be complex, complicated, and nuanced.

What he speaks of works both ways; being inclusive would STILL require an understanding that subjective speech would include hyperboles, metaphors, and speech he would deem ‘not transparent’. —

...

Or maybe we should all think that conversation and how people understand language is subjective to their own personal experiences and that not everyone can understand literary devices such as conversational implicatures, sarcasm or metaphors. Maybe we should all strive for a more inclusive +

So you can understand & connect with people without confusion. Also, that’s just you & not even a good flex.

Why should I have to examine a situation? If we're having a conversation, I'm taking all that's said at face value, because why would someone say something they don't mean? I /would/ kill someone for a bowl of cereal, I don't know how that's incredulous.

𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗲 @sonofpharaohs.bsky.social · 11h

Examine context of the situation. Incredulous statements like ‘ I’d kill’ for something as trivial as a bowl of cereal ususlly is a big indicator & you rather be wrong on that.

See, that pisses me off.language not having set rules, how am I to know what someone really means if they say something that's the complete opposite? It's disingenuous!

Like, if someone says, 'ugh, I'd kill for a bowl of Frosted Flakes', I'd take it as someone would kill for a bowl of Frosted +

It caused YOU confusion. Language does not have set rules & humans have made exaggerations since the beginning of the for dramatic effect.
