I was just catching up on some digital comics I got in a Humble Bundle a while back, and had no idea I was going to be served this homage!

(By Jacopo Camagni, from Nomen Omen vol.2)

Haven't read Wuthering Heights in ages (let's say good 15 years) and stumbling to a documentary about Emily Brontë on YouTube feels odd everytime I hear the name Lockwood (the narrator of WH).

Do you think Stroud was inspired by this book when he crrated Lockwood and Co? Or is it just a coindence?

Anyway, the nomen omen of the names Lockwood and Carlyle gives me slight Rapunzel vibes for some strange reason.

Oh cool, nomen omen has an english equivalent.

The Curious Case of the Changeable Label: Why Your Name Isn't Who You Are (But Maybe My Monastic Name Is?)

Daily writing promptIf you had to change your name, what would your new name be?View all responses Ah, names. Those labels we carry around, which are sometimes chosen for us from birth, and sometimes chosen by us later in life. A funny business, these names, don’t you agree with me?

About time to remember this etymological gem

so apparently both Carlyle and Lockwood are surnames that were well thought out by Jonathan Stroud.

they hold beautiful meanings and are very significant if put together

Carlyle: fortress, castle, stronghold

Lockwood: forest near or around the fortified place, enclosure

Thus, Lockwood is like the forest that protects the fortress that is Lucy. He will always protect her 🥺

book review || Nomen Omen Vol 1: Total Eclipse of the Heart by Marco Bucci

video review || Halloweekend Readathon — Reading Vlog 213: 5 books in 4 weekends

Alright, this took an unexpected turn into my favorite sort of story: creepy folklore!

I went into this with very few expectations but was wowed pretty quickly. I’ll admit, the plot does take a few chapters to really understand the connection between all the events we’re seeing, but I was strapped in for the ride, particularly when I started making the connections to Celtic folklore. What’s double intriguing though is that this is also urban fantasy, a combo I haven’t seen. Solid diversity in the cast and some intriguing players that I’m excited to learn more about.

The art is gorgeous and the utilization of color is very clever since we’re seeing through the eyes of a woman with achromatopsia. As we slowly lean more into the fantastical elements of the story, the art style matches that creepy folklore aesthetic.

There have already been numerous pop culture references, which I personally enjoy, but could see bugging some people. I’ll also call out the fact that the prologue is set in 1995 and yet the teenage couple we’re following mentions having a cell phone, which feels a little unlikely, but okay.

Bless my library for having the next two volumes on Hoopla.

Random guess that you of course don’t have to answer, is his name Valentino?

Good guess, but no.
