Sphynx (SPHYNX) of black quartz judge my vow

[–] elrac@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Am I blind or is there no letter i?

[–] Lightdm@feddit.de 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There is a "y" in "my" so maybe "Sphinx" would complete the sentence?

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

Correct. That commenter just confused sphinx with sphynx.

Honestly I can understand why

Sphinx of Black Quartz, Judge My Vow

I spelt 'sphynx' (sphinx) wrong, it's saved that way in my phone for some reason and I wasn't paying attention.

Edit: Ah, yep just saw that comment with the cats. It's because of cats.

Ha. I have this saved in my phone (with the "Sphinx" spelling), too. I guess waiting for this.moment?

I even catch myself doing it out loud, on the rare occasion the word comes up.

Fucking brilliant show. Still need to watch the film but part of me feels like doing so is admitting it's over, so I'm going to keep putting it off for a bit I think.

It’s a nice close to the whole thing. Plus you can then rewatch the whole thing again looking for how it subtly ties everything together.

[–] seaweedsheep@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

I understand that completely. I keep telling myself I'm going to rewatch the whole series, but I can't quite bring myself to watch that final movie. Once I do, that's it; there's no more new VB.
