Re: S07E17: To Change a Changeling
I liked the changeling world building and Maulwuf.
You are talking about me, aren't you? I knew it...
I thought it might be referring to some obscure mythical creature like the show has done before but nope. They are literally just using the German word for mole to make it exotic sounding. All German words sound strange and mythical by default.
I wonder how that word is going to translate into German?
Maybe they meant like clutch or brood brother? I don't know how Changeling family units work.

Leadership is not easy by any means; even when it's just something like me resolving issues here on TRS, I know how hard it is to do that when you know there's good in someone but that person isn't showing it. I admit, I've even had to give up on at least one person before, but I've also seen people choose to start doing good and made themselves and their community better for it. I'm glad FiM is doing lessons like this, that you should do all you can to help your friends and loved ones to be their best in life.

"Maul" is German for mouth (referred to an animal mouth or used in a derogatory sense) and "wurf" is German for toss. A mouth-tosser. Whenever a mole digs out of its mole hill it tosses the earth with its mouth.

If I had a bit for every time you made me feel worthless, I'd be worth something by now.
