FanArt! "Left Behind" Loghain holding the Warden Pieta-style

[sleepyowlet]

Someone on dA asked for Loghain holding the Warden Pieta-style. So I went and did it.

My first piece drawn with MyPaint - I'm officially in love with this program now. I can now have brushes that behave like the real thing, and I can mix colours on the canvas - something that I love doing when I use actual chalks or paint.

This is also the first time I've painted a dead person.

Dialogue and the Oddities of the English Language

[jannifer]

One of the wonderful things about the English language is its richness. There are so many regional variations -- not just among British, American, Australian English, but within those countries. Some of these expressions are wonderful and could offer something special in dialogue within our fiction. Other things are just interesting little bits.

I've added some new comments with more goodies I remember my grandmother using. Yay!

UPDATED QUESTION: Could some kind speaker of UK English explain the meaning of the phrase "no better than she should be"? I have the basic idea, but some clarification would be helpful.
