It has to be, right? Imagine a real place with a “quintessential” dessert by this name.

All borders (and consequently countries) are fictional lines made up by people, innit

even by the standards of nation states britain is especially fictional
the british state only exists today because most people haven’t quite noticed that it doesn’t really

tell that to your news broadcasters who still think your neighbours are a BRITISH isle
They certainly seem to be trying for the Harry Potter route atm
Preach it, sister (/brother/sibling)!
At the latest census, I specified my ethnicity as “Earthean”, and I unironically identify as a world citizen.

It sounds nicer in Russian! I regret that there doesn’t seem to be a good English word for “denizen of Earth” that doesn’t sound clumsy or overly formal.

Earthican as used in Futurama works perfectly well imo.
At least it isn’t Earthish.

The problem with Earthican is that I can’t read or hear it without hearing the voice of Futurama Richard Nixon.

I believe you! My extent of russian language knowledge is limited to having read Dmitry Glukhovsky’s books(including Metro) in english & swedish then playing the game version of Metro in russian with subtitles because while I didnt understand a word, it sounded better than whatever that accent was going for in the english version.

Not like one of those damn spacians 
Funny story, I already used all my luck for the month when I got both necklaces from the raid, for the black otter mount, without actually setting foot in the raid.
one came from the great vault the other came from the timewalker weekly quest last week.
I am now the happy owner of both otters
It’s a shame the rings are dropped by the first bosses of the dungeon, because it causes a lot of people to leave right after the first boss or worse, they try to force you into handing over the ring if you get it.

while its not happened to me i had a friend about three weeks ago who had the healer bully them into giving them the ring from Nokuud offensive or they’d leave
my friend didnt want to grief the group so gave them the ring. and they left anyway.

yeah, I had most people leave, a few ask for it, and I am happy to give it now that I don’t need it for upgrades or the mount, but there was one player who didn’t talk, didn’t ask or was in any way polite, they spammed trade with me, whenever I would close the window they would request a trade again.
had they asked I might have given them the ring, but since they didn’t I refused out of spite until they left.
Its a lose, lose case since they will leave if they don’t get it and leave if they do.

thats why i choose spite if they wish to threaten like that. they’ll have to just run it again if i refuse to give it and run the risk of either not getting it or the person who does not giving it, no skin off my nose. its sad.
unlike me riding my adorable otter
