Wanna see some cool data on people's favorite words?

If this is your first time seeing me, STOP READING AND GO SEND ME AN ASK WITH YOUR FAVORITE WORD! In June 2024 I picked up the hobby of asking random people on Tumblr their favorite word, and I just kept asking until we got here today. I've got about 7000 favorite words from a whole bunch of people on Tumblr.

First, the credit for doing basically all of the work goes to @thespyglassofvision. He was the one who ripped all the text out of Tumblr, making it way easier for me to filter it to just favorite words.

He also is the one who found all this cool data analysis! (Warning there's a lot of data, if you wanna just check out the list of favorite words its over here)

All of this data was taken from March 15th, when I collected only a measly 6700 words. If you want to use the list of favorite words for anything, feel free to!(Just show me because I wanna see)

Defenseman Luca Cagnoni had just stepped off the plane in San Jose after a pair of games in Tucson when he saw that he had received a text message from Jimmy Schuldt, the Barracuda captain who had just finished a short stint with the Sharks. “Go light it up,” Schuldt wrote. That was how Cagnoni, one of the AHL’s top offensive defensemen this season, found out he was going to the NHL for the first time, as the Sharks recalled their prolific 2023 fourth-round draft pick and returned Schuldt to the Barracuda after he played four games. “My heart was beating all last night, and it was actually kind of hard to sleep,” Cagnoni said Tuesday. “Just super happy to be up here.” In his first practice with the Sharks, the 5-foot-9. 180-pound Cagnoni on Tuesday was paired with 6-foot-7, 226-pound Vincent Desharnais. He also skated on the Sharks’ top power-play unit with forwards Macklin Celebrini, Will Smith, Tyler Toffoli, and Alexander Wennberg. “He can move, that’s for sure. He’s a little water bug out there,” said Desharnais of Cagnoni, who reminded him of his former Providence teammate, Buffalo Sabres defenseman Jacon Bryson, who is 5-foot-9 and 177 pounds. “Short, but really fast. Can make some really nice plays. That’s kind of what we just talked about. Let me do the heavy lifting, and then just make sure that your boots are moving and you make some nice plays. I’ll take care of the physicality.” ... Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said Cagnoni, who has always been a heady player and a terrific skater, took a huge step forward from one year to the next with his assertiveness, confidence, maturity, fitness, and strength. “He’s done a total 180 from just a couple years ago from being drafted and in his first training camp,” Warsofsky said. “He’s almost a different player in a sense. So he’s put a lot of work in, and he’s earned this opportunity. “It’s one of the biggest transformations I’ve seen that I can think of and recall,” Warsofsky added later. “I just remember he was such a deer in the headlights, and now his personality’s come out.” Cagnoni, who didn’t turn 20 until December, could have been returned by the Sharks to the Portland Winterhawks of the WHL but was told early into the Barracuda’s season that he would be staying in San Jose and not returning to junior. “It was a huge summer for me,” said Cagnoni, adding that in the two months after development camp, “I just put in a lot of time and came back a different player. On ice wasn’t really a problem, but just maturing off the ice, came back, and then the opportunity was kind of there, and I just took it.” ... While Shakir Mukhamadullin and Timothy Liljegren have offensive parts to their games, neither put up the kind of numbers in the AHL that Cagnoni has. Jake Walman was the Sharks’ top offensive defenseman this season but was traded to the Edmonton Oilers on March 6 for a conditional 2026 first-round draft pick. In five games without Walman, the Sharks have only three combined assists from their defensemen. Learning how to defend in the NHL will no doubt take time for Cagnoni. But the Sharks want him to play to his strengths. “His tool set is something that we don’t have a lot of, in the sense of being a puck-moving defenseman, running a power play, bringing some offense to our group,” Warsofsky said. “So I think that’s the biggest thing, is something that we don’t really have a lot of.” —via Curtis Pashelka (emphasis mine)

Barbatos - Day 177

Race: Fallen

Alignment: Neutral-Chaos

Arcana: Hanged Man

April 9th, 2025

Among the demons in the Ars Goetia, the first ten can be considered basically the bill of satanic rights- the most powerful and influential dukes listed in the text, starting from Bael and ending in Buer. These ten demons are some of the most commonly represented in series that take explicit interest or influence from the Goetia, and it's not hard to see why, as they're all the very first demons that appear in the most influential demonic textbook. How many times have I said that at this point? ...is anyone keeping count? Nonetheless, today's Demon of the Day is among that hellish hall of demons- Barbatos, the 8th demon of the text. No, not that Barbatos. I'm not touching Genshin with a 30 foot pole. Does Barbatos deserve being so high? Well, let's get into his history to find out!

The Goetia doesn't have as much to say about Barbatos as some other higher-up demons, but what it does have to say is rather fascinating- Barbatos is a Great Duke of Hell who appears only when the Sun is in Sagittarius. What does that mean? From what I can tell, it's likely pulled from the Zodiac system, and the 'Sun is in Sagittary' mentioned in the text seems to be referring to when the year reaches the Sagittarius zodiac between November 22nd to December 21st. I don't fully understand what it means by sun, but apparently zodiac signs can be referred to as sun signs, so that might be it. Kinda just answered my own question there. Huh. Anyway, when Barbatos appears, he appears in the company of four noble kings who don't go described past that simple description, and his appearance actually isn't described- it could possibly be that he, himself, is one of the four kings, but that's just speculation on my part.

As for the boons that Barbatos grants upon his summoner, they're several boons from other demons wrapped up into one, with his own spin on them as well, definitely giving credibility to how high he ranks. For starters, he grants the summoner the ability to understand the speaking of animals, such as the songs of birds and the barking of dogs, described as such:

He giveth understanding of the singing of Birds, and of the Voices of other creatures, such as the barking of Dogs.

Past just that, he also can grant the summoner the ability to open magically locked things, described as the treasures of a magician, described as

He breaketh the Hidden Treasures open that have been laid by the Enchant- ments of Magicians

and, lastly, he ALSO KNOWS ALL THINGS PAST AND FUTURE AND CAN ALSO RECONCILE FIGHTS BETWEEN FRIENDS. FUCK OROBAS THIS GUY IS MY NEW GOAT. BARBATOSSWEEEP

ahem. sorry. Yeah, he has the same power as Orobas and a certain fraudulent snake, on top of these other boons. And yet, he only commands 30 legions of spirits, which is a damn shame. At least he's ranked high in the book. Curiously, one last thing the book points out is actually that of his former identity before falling into being a demon, a direct nod to Paradise Lost, as it says that he was once a Virtue, a type of angel, and he still retains aspects of his time as an angel in that clique of them. It's not something mentioned very often with demons in the book, and I find it very interesting and, honestly, pretty damn cool that it's brought up so explicitly in this way.

As for his design, there wasn't really much to work with given his lack of a direct description in the series, but I do really like his given appearance in the series, as it was taken from his appearance in the Dictionnaire Infernal, which I'm already quite the fan of. Thanks to @rigitwolf for the correction!

could we get some vampdrew please and thank you✨✨✨

WIP Wednesday (9/11) | Vampire Andrew AU (Part 177)

"Done." Andrew confirms. It's like putting a band-aid over a bullet hole, taking such a puny amount of Kevin's blood. But he couldn't stand to let it go to waste. Andrew will feed again before they go to practice. He'll drive out to the middle of nowhere and try to hunt for bigger game. Maybe he'll finally be able to get the best of a deer. (He's only tried it once and it... didn't go well.)

"Andrew?" Kevin says suddenly.

"What?"

"You're still angry at me. Aren't you going to yell or something?" Kevin asks, voice soft and childlike. Andrew's seen into Kevin's head plenty of times. He's been shown memories and nightmares alike, he knows the anger Kevin is accustomed to. He will not imitate it.

"No." Andrew tells him, to Kevin's confusion and relief. "But about you keeping secrets from me—"

"I'm sorry. Wymack told me not to tell you and I swore I wouldn’t." Kevin explains, making Andrew's blood boil. He supposes it does make sense though. To most people, Andrew's some sort of ticking time bomb that's about to go off and blow their team into smithereens. If only they knew how much worse the situation is.

"I don't care what he says. He might be your father, but I'm your... Uh," Andrew cuts off, unable to find a word that describes them. They aren't any, he thinks. They're just Andrew and Kevin. A goalie and a striker. A vampire and a boy he wants to kiss, fuck, drink from. (In any order.)

"You're my what?" Kevin asks, voice alarmingly hopeful after the conversation they shared earlier.

"I'm your pet monster," Andrew finally says, quoting Neil (funny bastard) and making Kevin's face fall.

"You're not a—"

"Oh, but I am. I'm your monster and I'm going to keep you safe. But in order to do that, I need to be aware when shit's getting close to the fan. I can read minds, but I can't predict the future. I..." Andrew trails off and gives Kevin a scrutinizing look. "I can read minds. Thoughts are constantly floating into my head. But for two whole weeks, you kept it from me. How?"

"Every time I started to think about it, I would think about Jean instead." Kevin answers, casting his eyes down. His Adam's apple bobbing in his throat. Ah. Jean. Kevin's only real friend back at the Nest. The man who is in love with Kevin despite not having a chance. Andrew's seen clips of him in Kevin's head, he can tell from his body language. The fondness in his voice in every memory, no matter how terrible their circumstances. The way his eyes light up at Kevin's presence. It's sickening to witness.

"You miss him."

"I miss him." Kevin says immediately. "That was the first time I'd spoken to him since, uh... January. No. February. He texted to tell me happy birthday. And that he hates me."

"He's lying." Andrew says, making Kevin's expression pinch. He swallows. "Say you won't keep anything from me again."

"I won't. I swear."

G113 Oidheadh Con Culainn transcription update:

177 lines transcribed (5.5 pages). Most of them last night in one fervent 2-hour sprint. Going much faster now that I've got used to Uilliam's abbreviations (thankfully, he doesn't use too many of them) and spelling patterns.

For the most part it's very similar to the text as edited by Van Hamel, often word-for-word based on my memory of those passages I've been translating lately (though I'd have to do a direct comparison to be sure). That is, except these scenes involving Láeg, which are so far the only meaningful difference between the two manuscripts. Did this one Cork scribe just really like Láeg? Possibly! I relate! I too have lived in Co. Cork and been weird about Láeg!

Comments:

Tim thinks about Jason a lot while he’s first training. He imagines the former Robins giving him pep talks, and uses them to fight off fear gas.

When Jason comes back, though, Tim’s really nasty, especially in his head. Jason, however, is somewhat respectful. He usually calls Tim ‘Tim’, and seems to kind of like him.

‘Pretender’ and ‘Imposter’ were only said while pretending to be Clayface. (And ‘Replacement’ doesn’t seem to be preboot canon at ALL.) It’s uncertain how much of that was an act, since Jason went back to pretending to be dead for MONTHS after the whole Hush arc.

I haven’t found ANY examples of people calling Tim ‘Babybird’. This is DEFINITELY fanon.

Part two of my interpretations of la squadra esecuzioni. 

Ghiaccio is like a smaller Risotto. He doesn’t have a very distinct waist. He’s so picky with his food that it’s a wonder he even got that much distinct muscle- or maybe it isn’t, cutting is effective (in moderation, starving will only set you back on your progress). He mainly works out for his job, Ghiaccio doesn’t really care what he looks like. 

He has a strong nose, and although his lips are small they aren’t quite in the thin category, he has really nice bone structure… He just doesn’t realize it because he’s horribly insecure and feels inferior. He copes by not trying, so he can always rely on the ‘Well if I actually tried it’d be better’ type of logic. Once a year Prosciutto gets to wax his eyebrows. 

Not only does he know what mogging is but he knows where it originated. Because he was there. I’m dying on the hill that Ghiaccio knows what green text is. He’s appealed countless bans that all sounded like “I’ve never even fucking been on /mu/ you stupid fucks” (that all got approved the night of). He fills his mind with toxic masculinity, but isn’t into alpha male bullshit. Somehow he thinks hunter eyes are a thing but he draws the line at “smooth brained jock bullshit.” 

I cap Ghiaccio’s height at 5’9” or 175 cm. 5’10” or 177 cm with his shoes on. He’s got fantastic posture for someone that sits at a computer all day. Ghiaccio’s sensitive about it, teasing him about his height is a death sentence. What a good way to end up in a freezer. 

While he has a horrible temper, he cools off the second he gets it out of his system. Just moves on after smacking the shit out of his designated rage pillow like nothing happened. At least he’s coping. Not well, but an outlet is an outlet. It’s the same when you piss him off- he gets upset, says things he doesn’t mean, and then moves on. He apologizes like a father would- none at all, but brings you a snack or buys you something you’ve been asking for. He’s a big fan of the “Check if there’s mail.” approach. He genuinely does feel bad, but he’s not a little bitch that’s gonna tuck his tail in between his legs because he made his darling a little sad. 

He smells like absolutely nothing at all. It’s actually a bit frightening. Zero smell presence. 

Melone keeps every medicine known to mankind in his room, under his bed. He’s a great person to befriend if you find yourself in the hands of one of his roommates, but to be entirely honest with you, he’s selfish. He doesn’t really care about your agony because it’s got nothing to do with him, how does it benefit him to give you meds when he doesn’t even know you? (He budges if you belong to Prosciutto or Ris- he’s not pissing off his pseudo mom and dad.)

Melone is thin and mainly gets his exercise from running. His stand takes care of hits for him, he just needs to worry about the set up, so it isn’t really an issue. There’s no need for him to lift heavy, or really lift at all. Doesn’t really matter if he’s stronger, he just needs to be faster than you are. Sure, bash his head in, pick him up, aren’t you getting tired, though? Real sleepy? Go to sleep, it’s gonna be ok. 

Mel’s stand is possessing an actual computer he modified. He runs tests consistently with the blood samples he’s managed to store in his room- he knows the best combinations to get him what the boss wants, and as long as he’s got ample blood left over, what’s wrong with killing a few juniors off in the name of science? 

I classify Melone as apathetic and a bit mean. He’s an asshole. He gets a lot better once he’s comfortable with you, look at how much he plays with the rest of his ‘family.’ It’s just that he doesn’t know you, and doesn’t want to waste time on you if you’re going to get in his way long term. When you do spark his interest, of course, he gets obsessed and oh-so-curious. 

He’s still very playful- Melone likes to hang off of Formaggio’s shoulders and tease Ghiaccio, but he’s calm. He’s not very smiley, he’s not very giggly, he just can’t force himself to react in the ‘correct’ way most of the time, but he’s totally having fun! Melone loves you a lot, he just doesn’t look like he’s having fun most of the time. It’s hard for him to care about things, but you quickly rotted his brain- isn’t that testament enough? 

His seemingly cold nature makes it hard for him to form genuine bonds. Melone thrives with other difficult types- he shares a room with Ghiaccio (alternatively Formaggio) because they’re short on space and Prosciutto won’t share a room since The Incident they get along surprisingly well. 

In the beginning of your new life, it isn’t uncommon to hear Formaggio gently push Melone in the right direction. “Come on, Mel, you’re scarin’ the poor thing. Smile a little.”  (Which is normally met with “I’m running tests, go away, Formaggiooo…”) Melone’s shy- he’ll just stay off to the side, and speaks to you in a very formal manner. You might feel like you’re being tested on by a medical student. Which is wrong! Melone doesn’t have any medical experience! I mean, he’s taken classes, but he’s a genetics student. Oh, yeah, he’s in university. 

Once he gets used to you, he falls into his normal, playful routine. He still doesn’t smile too much, but he’ll speak more openly, which… is it better to not know what the iv in your arm is, or to fully understand? Melone’s quite the talker, and is happy to (over) explain. 

Melone doesn’t hide you like the others would- it isn’t shameful to him to kidnap a whole person, and he needs them to keep you here when he isn’t. Morals aside, you need to be socialized. It isn’t good to keep someone isolated and cramped in a room they don’t like. If you don’t want to talk to him, talk to anyone else. You’ve got options. Maybe not Prosciutto, or Illuso, they’re not going to play host as easily… (Although Prosciutto might ask what Melone’s “little friend” is gonna be having for dinner)

Formaggio’s body type is similar to Guido’s. He’s fairly bulky. Formaggio spends all of his free time playing whatever sport he can think of, neglecting to do his chores (You’re starting to think he likes Prosciutto yelling at him), annoying Melone, and blowing your phone up. He spends a lot of time working out, but he considers that to be more of a daily ritual than a hobby. 

Since his only real responsibility is taking care of his cat and his job, he’s not stressed at all. He’d be a lot more stressed if he had to cook, and clean, and, I don’t fucking know, be an adult or whatever- like the shit Pro and Ris do all day!

If you ever ask him about it, he’ll go “I mean, it sucks that Boss is watching us and all, but to be honest, who cares? You don’t like being on camera? It loooves you.” and leaves it at that. 

His psychology is a bit odd. He seems like a typical, immature guy- the type of guy you meet at college that does sports and seemingly nothing else. No interest in philosophy, religion, general culture, etc. While I think that his personality is close to a casual type like Guido or Squalo, he seemingly lacks any depth at all. There’s no “Oh, he’s actually very smart!” thing going on here, Formaggio is painfully average. There’s no reason for him to be a mafioso other than bad timing and a lack of drive to get away from it.

He’s actually pretty simple. He’s just a guy that wants to relax and have a little fun- who doesn’t like fun? But Formaggio is crazy insecure. He takes almost every negative reaction as a jab- neutral ones, too. If you’re not into his lifestyle, what, he isn’t fuckin’ good enough? Huh? You think he’s some fuckin’ nobody that doesn’t have the real talent it takes to be where he is? 

You can calm Formaggio by stroking his ego, and by that, I mean stroking him. He’ll forget about any transgression if he finishes a few times. 

He only speaks italian, and will “Huh?” you to death if you do not. He’ll buy you an italian-english dictionary to help you understand him, but won’t make any real effort to learn english.  

Formaggio’s kitty was a stray before he snatched her up. She’ll try to comfort you while Formaggio is gone- but she’ll abandon you if he comes back. Little traitor. He calls her a ridiculous amount of pet names- sometimes he’ll reuse whatever name he calls you on her, and will pretend he’s always called her it. Awww, my little pwincess, my cuuuutie, my baby, my angeelllll. He treats her very well- she’s a bit pampered.  While Formaggio’s cat is able to relax fully in his arms, you probably will not, unless you’re a masochist. He loves good, old fashioned sadism- no prissy mind games or punishments, he does it for absolutely no reason other than how funny your reactions are. He’s like that asshole boyfriend that throws a basketball into your face and laughs when you groan. Come on, it’s just a ball, don’t be such a baby. It’s just a joke. Aw, your face stings? You want some ice? Hey, that’s a great idea, why don’t you go get him something from the fridge?
