  • That is 100% the enemy formation. Likely Goths based on the limited information in the cartoon. (Shield shape and pikes)

    In the Roman military, the aquilifer (eagle-bearer) was responsible for carrying the legion’s eagle, a vital symbol of the legion’s honor and religious importance. The eagle was a quasi-religious object, and its loss to the enemy was considered a great disgrace.

    The aquilifer’s responsibility to protect the eagle was so paramount that they would often be killed in battle rather than allow the eagle to fall into enemy hands.

    Because the group tagged is more apt to assume it’s in bad faith where as from personal experience being a bi fur most of my fur group has no issues calling each other that word but would probably not use it in a public setting like this

  • For a very crude analogy, you can imagine a normal four wheel car as nuerotypical.

    Just because I have learned to balance a two-wheel car through sheer determination and willpower does not mean that I don’t notice that I’m missing two fucking Wheels. I’m just exceptionally good at masking deficiencies as I drive from a to b and not letting people notice as my overdeveloped other skills can be used to compensate .

    All that high functioning means is that I am aware of what society expects me to do. Manually take corrective actions to meet expectations and maintain appearances constantly. It’s tiring. Draining exhausting.
