Adding Context (for some of these, as requested)

fool - An endearment recorded in the 16th and early 17th centuries, usually accompanied by a supporting adjective, such as poor, young, heavenly, and sweet. The other, much more dominant sense of fool probably crushed its tenderness potential.

bully - At first either men or women could be addressed as bully, meaning ‘sweetheart’, but by Shakespeare’s time it was men only. The innkeeper in The Merry Wives of Windsor (1597) calls all the men bully, both with an accompanying noun (‘bully Sir John’, ‘bully doctor’) and as a single vocative (‘Mockwater, in our English tongue, is valour, bully’).

pussy - This use of a cat’s call-name as an endearment is found in a ballad as early as the 16th century (‘Adieu, my pretty pussy . . . ’), but there is a significant gap before OED citations resume in the 19th century. The reason is probably to do with the way puss developed negative associations in the interim (such as spitefulness and slyness). When Samuel Pepys writes in his diary (6 August 1663), ‘His wife, an ugly puss . . . ’, this is a long way from endearment. But when Doctor Jeddler calls his daughter puss (in Charles Dickens’s novella The Battle of Life, 1846, ch. 1), we see a very different usage. The change seems to have taken place during the 18th century, and heralded later adaptations of the pussy motif (e.g., pussums).

ding-ding - A playful adaptation, probably of darling, with OED citations into the early 17th century. Ding-dong and ding-a-dings took it a stage further.

pug - Most of the meanings of pug are to do with ‘small size’ – a dwarf animal, an imp, a nose, a doll – so presumably this endearment was used for people of small stature. OED citations are found throughout the 17th century. There was usually an accompanying adjective: the alliterative pretty pug was popular.

bawcock - This is a man-to-man endearment, ‘fine fellow, my good man’, from French (beau coq ‘fine cock’). It was often used sarcastically, as when Sir Toby Belch teases Malvolio, calling him ‘my bawcock’ (Shakespeare, Twelfth Night, c.1602, 3.4.112).

nutting - The modern use of nut (‘crazy person’) makes it difficult to appreciate the way this word was earlier (17th century) used to mean ‘source of delight’, especially in the phrase for nuts (‘for fun’). A single OED citation from the play Wily Beguiled shows the unusual (to modern eyes) association: Will Cricket addresses ‘sweet Pegge’ with an extravagance of endearments: ‘my nutting, my sweeting, my love, my dove, my honey, my bonny, my duck, my dear, and my darling’.

bagpudding - The word does indeed mean ‘a pudding boiled in bag’, and might seem out of place in this list. But the context of its single recorded use, in playwright John Day’s Humour out of Breath, suggests a jocular sense of ‘clown’ or ‘buffoon’.

cabbage - One of relatively few vegetables that have become endearments, often in the form my (little) cabbage. The usage shows the influence of the equivalent expression in French, mon (petit) chou.

prawn - The dominant human application of prawn was unflattering, but there is a single OED citation suggesting that, for some people at least, the noun could be an endearment. ‘I expect you’re a saucy young prawn, Emma’, says a character in William Pett Ridge’s Minor Dialogues (1895).

pussums - The source is ultimately baby-talk, where diddums (did ’em = ‘did they’) as an expression of commiseration is known from the late 19th century. The -ums ending then had a limited productivity in jocular pet-name vocabulary between playful adults. Pussums came to be used in talking to both people and cats; snookums (1919) for people and lap-dogs. Most recently, we find people and dogs addressed as pookums (probably from pooch), though sociolinguistic lexicography has yet to establish who is responsible.

lamb-chop - A woman in Ellis Lucia’s memoir, Klondike Kate (1962, ch. 2) is described as ‘quite a lamb chop’.

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

Sometime after posting this I wasn't listed as a related blog, but I eventually got it back baybey! (Edit: it's gone again LMAO maybe I'll get it back again) However I haven't been the only one for a while haha do you think once I reblog all my art to this sideblog I'll have 2 blogs listed as "related blogs" there? hm...

Drawn Apr 26 - 28 2024 me when I am very normal about the media I like and definitely did not become autistic about this webcomic (/lying /lying /lying) uhhh anyway lemme talk about this art Image 1: we were absolutely robbed of Cameryn wearing that outfit in the snow kingdom lmao

Fletcher wanting nothing to do with these idiots as per usual~ his drawing has nothing to do with the Cameryn drawings to the left of him but I put him there specifically because it was funny to me

not me having a pose in mind and then neither fully drawing it nor fixing it with Lance there. Anyways Mikah. Does he even know??

~ Image 2: I did this one before the other one and I was actually going to draw those other things on the same image! however as it turns out clean colour takes me fucking forever and I decided I just wanted a seperate one for the rest

They can still fight or whatever (well, I don't actually know if they still will in-story), but I want to see Mikah and Hilda as best friends. They both have braids in their hair so it made me want to draw Mikah braiding Hilda's hair. I wonder if Lance ever braided his brother's hair…

Lance wears mostly cool colours (warm tones are more Poko's thing), but pinkish red colours and dark blueish green/teals are my favourite colours. By extension similar colour combinations are also my favourite, since they just so happen to also be complimentary. What I am saying is Lance would look good in reds and pinks and also I am extremely biased on that front

Hey protip you guys! did you know if you've got any clothes or piercings or anything you want but don't have? just give them to your favourite characters! it's completely free!
