Fun fact No. 1: People hear Dream speaking their native language.

Extrapolation : If Dream tells someone his name is “Dream” they’ll hear the word “dream” (eg. a Spanish speaker would call him “Sueño”)

Fun Fact No 2: Hob Gadling’s first language is is Middle English. Fun Fact No 3: The Middle English word for dream is “Sweven.”

Ergo: Hob Gadling would cry out “Sweven” during sex.

I hope this knowledge has improved your life.

#BTW does anyone know that kids name #read through all of Brief Lives and he’s only called son grandson or boy #This is gonna bother me I know it #Naming Conventions #The Sandman #Dream of the Endless #Hob Gadling #Dreamling #Middle English #Sweven o ye Endlesse #Chaucer Doth Tweet

today was insane. This was the best day I've ever had.

IKIMARU RESPONDED TO ONE OF MY COMMENTS FIRST OFF

I met a huge group of homestucks AND SPENT $425 ON PRINTS AND KEYCHAINS

But trust me when you see the pictures you'll understand...

AND I MET A JANE COSPLAYER WHO HAD MET ZANNEY/BROADWAY KARKST BEFORE.

Today was the best.... ever.

Art on the Prints is by Leia Doodles SHE WAS SO SWEET AND HER ART IS GORGEOUS.

thoughts on thistle and yaad's dynamic that i vomited in the tags of another post but will now try to articulate here: they're not actually family, or at least they shouldn't be. not in a conventional sense anyway. framing them as uncle and nephew (even in a non-literal, silly fantasy world way) rides more on technicality than anything concrete.

what i mean by this is yaad calls thistle by name and says he and delgal were raised "like" brothers. he talks about thistle like he's an outsider imposing himself into the melinis' space, and it's clear that thistle was never legitimized as a member of the family. for thistle's part, though we don't know how he would treat yaad pre-demon brainrot, it's safe to assume based on the way he punishes him—turning him into a doll—and how little is shown in the way of any sort of relationship between them that thistle only cares* about yaad as an extension of delgal (otherwise i'd expect something like kabru and milsiril, because it's not like another complicated interspecies family dynamic would be out of place, yet there's next to nothing on them even in bonus content, just their scant interactions in the main story).

in essence, they're strangers to one another. thistle's desperation to preserve the illusion of a family, a model where he doesn't even fit, was the snare they were caught in for the past thousand years of stasis. yaad-as-nephew is a prop to uphold that illusion, and thistle is playing a role he's unfit to play. in the context of post-canon interactions, attempting to reconstruct that facade would only be a reenactment of trauma for them both (in a deeply compelling way i'd love to watch unfold, tbh), as that "uncle and nephew" framing places thistle in an implicit position of power over someone he's already traumatized through misuse of authority in the past, a role which also perpetuates his adultification and yaad's infantilization in turn. it'd mostly be an obstacle to any real connection.

best to burn the melini family bridge, i think, and if there's still anything salvageable left in the rubble, let something different supplant it.

#not to say i don't enjoy when they're portrayed as a weird set of uncle and nephew - that's really fun too #i think their history and shared connection to delgal would be a key element to their dynamic no matter what #and it's something they would tryyyy to make work at some point. for lack of other options.#it's not smn i take too seriously either! but thinking about it for more than 2 minutes makes me go oh yikes #i do think they could be family - i'm a certified sucker and sap so i want them to be - but #growth means moving past that more conventional way of thinking of family #side note as someone with a large extended family i DO have uncles who are younger than me lmao #but i'm viewing the whole uncle + nephew thing with thistle and yaad more symbolically for the purposes of this #additional note the fantasy age-fuckery and power dynamics at play means thistle has been in an actual position of authority #over his younger family members like any older relative would be in spite of his being quite young and immature #so. no. don't try to be his uncle anymore. and he isn't your nephew. and oh god he isn't your dead brother let it go. stop with the labels #don't try to resurrect that corpse (< writing them trying to resurrect that corpse as we speak)#not sure if these tags are coherent pero basta lang. yaad and thistle stay complicated forever that's all i want #feel free to chime in or disagree as i'd like to crack into this like crispy lechon and my opinions are subject to change #roomba media #thistle #yaad #thistle & yaad #melinis #dunmeshi #dunmeshiposting #dunmeshi spoilers #thistle dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi #edit: changed some inaccurate wording in this one whew. english

controversial opinion maybe but it BEWILDERS me when people (mostly americans ime) genuinely seriously with their whole chest complain about how impossibly hard russian names are. like. do a single google search. i don't see how you can comprehend that charles = chuck and margaret = peggy but can't fathom that rodion = rodya. how is this such a huge barrier of entry for people

#and this doesnt apply to ESL ppl or any other ppl who have actual reasons like dyslexia or something #im talking about other americans who go yeah i had to stop reading bc i couldnt understand the names #how are you seeing different cultural naming conventions as an unsurpassable barrier that forces you to quit and give up on ever reading it #instead of an opportunity to learn and expand your narrow worldview?????? and over something SO SIMPLE??????????#like i know damn well yall know a katherine that goes by katie or a john that goes by jack #and those make even less sense than something like aleksey -> alyosha!#there are general rules and patterns unlike english! like the progression from aleksey -> alyosha -> alyoshka -> alyoshechka is so easy to #comprehend i dont understand how its SUCH a common complaint #i definitely understand the struggle of keeping characters straight when they have the same first name #like katerina ivanovna and katerina ospovna in t/bk etc #and of course the names in general are something you have to adjust to if youve never encountered it before! it takes a bit of thought #but its NOT FUCKING ROCKET SCIENCE and its asinine to shrug your shoulders and say welp guess im incapable of ever reading any ruslit!#like ohhh my goddd it grinds my gears so bad #bare minimum effort #anontalks #sorry for rant but i keep fucking seeing this shit and it rubs me the wrong way every time #like yeah its funny that dunya = avdotya and grushenka = agrafena #but richard = dick and elizabeth = betty so who fucking cares read the damn book

Genuinely really loving the tendency of official Doctor Who stuff to now refer to the Doctor in general with they/them pronouns

#Doctor Who #New Who #The Doctor #I am talking #I feel like the Doctor in the show just lets people assume whatever pronouns and gender #because people are going to make assumptions and whatever anyways #and going along with people's weird assumptions until there's a reason not to is generally the Doctor's MO #see: anytime someone is like 'are you here for XYZ reason?' and the Doctor's just like 'yes absolutely'#but I feel like if the Doctor had a reason to care about the nuances of human gender conventions in the 21st century #they would like they/them pronouns #also I think it's neat that Time Lords who do have an actual experience of gender #like the master #seem to use whatever pronoun applied at the time in question when speaking in past tense in English #rather than the human convention of using the current pronoun even when speaking retroactively #it's just an interesting distinction #and then that makes me think about translation stuff and how concepts about gender may not even apply in Gallifreyan #but this is getting too long for me just rambling in the tags

dandelion is indeed the worst but if he’s not present in the next book i would legitimately be sorrowful as the whole thing will become a slog . you basically cannot have the “short stories” era-of-the-timeline iteration of geralt without dandelion, it would be like eating unbuttered bread.

though it’s not like season of storms did them dirty, i wasn’t disappointed with it (… with regards to them), but since it’s literally been over 20 years since the saga was finished i’m trying to prepare for any potential reality

#however i will accept an absence of dandelion IN THE CASE OF we get to see geralt and yennefer living together in vengerberg #but if it’s regular geralt day in the life then if dandelion’s not there it’s gonna suuuuuccckk #i mean as in geralt’s life sucks without him. badly #and it also? sucks with him. good-ly.#it’s august and we don’t have a title yetttt 🥲 and they said 2024 … hmhm sure #i just feel like rupaul ‘and don’t fuck it up’.gif #like i’m excited but also wtf? new witcher book? are we on punk’d?#it’s not going to be the best but i’m hoping it will be at least as good as season of storms. not a high bar ok!#this from the person who was optimistic about the n*tflix show. don’t trust me i like to believe in the future #i was going to say ‘and i trust sapkowski more than i trust n*tflix’ and then i laughed.#i don’t trust him—i don’t even trust the version of him from the 90s and 00s!#one side of me can’t believe i’m still here after the guardswomen of kerack. and the ‘well i’m only gay for clout’ villain motivations #the other side of me is intensely curious wtf geralt will get up to this time and how witcher could maybe even denigrate further #but season of storms ending was actually good and = well it’s not like sapkowski forgot what it was about #then again it’s been 10 years and a bad adaptation since then so im biting my nails #all i ask : please stick with the naming convention of the other books. i don’t want to write an absurdly long or short name or acronym out #sooooo weird that in a few months i will be saying: there are 9 witcher books.#actually rn i just say there’s 7 and discount season of storms as a legitimate heir but mention it as footnote lol #i just hope i can survive until this new book and until its translation LOLLLL #they said translation in 2025 but you know the track record #new book: *releases winter 2024* | english translation: coming 2045!#jk i think they finally figured out that witcher is a money printer so they will be eager to translate it now and not waffle around #they kicked their butts into gear with the hussite trilogy so ! and they made new hardcovers.#the elbow-high diaries #new book 2024

Actually, Guzman is his spanish name.

OH YEAH some other folks pointed that out too, makes sense since it's an irl Spanish name (probably why I see it around a lot!) 😳

(normally it's a surname, I've only seen it used as a first name once in a blue moon -- but also in the pokemon world it's pretty clear that naming conventions aren't the same lol)

#oceandi answers #radicalldreamer #still harder for me to connect it to him since I played all the games in english -- it's only one letter away but it still feels just a #smidge closer than 'bromley'#frankly I hope someone out there calls him 'bromley guzmán' as his full name. and he just GOES by 'guzma' bc it sounds cool #that'd be neat #tag rambling #rambling ahead ->#speaking of guzma I spent a long time talking about aus with some friends and well. I think his dad's from johto skdjfksjdfskjd #iirc that was a HC back in the day amongst a small group of guz enjoyers.... but I think it makes SO much sense for gene's guz specifical #ly bc listen . hear me out okay he somehow knew about the bug trainers' convention and he wanted to go and usu'ally they #hold it in JOHTO. he's never won a gold medal for BATTLE but got the dawn stone as his first ever victory -- guess what region you can #get a dawn stone from in a competition that's based on more than just battling? YEAH -- JOHTO BUG CATCHING CONTEST BABEYYY #(hgss edition)#TWO of his main team are johto pokemon #he moved from melemele island to ula'ula where malie city/garden are -- inspired by johto and even including a johto-style gym #(I mean yeah he STAYED bc po town had a sudden amount of free real estate but why did he GO THERE in the FIRST place to join the #proto-Team Skull.)#though ig if he hates his dad maybe his dad's Not from johto and is from paldea instead ('rents could've been inspired by the name guzmán #and just wanted to make it sound more unique lol)#but either way he totally used to go to johto with his dad which is where he won a bug catching contest with his pinsir.#and then started winning battles there but always getting second/third place in actual like. /competition/ competitions. so not #getting the grand prizes/money/stuff/fame that his dad wanted him to earn for the family #ANYWAYS.

you do kind of have to wonder about those boys naming that ship The Terror though. like it's not very good vibes

#i turned off reblogs because some nerd is going to lecture me on 19th century english naval naming convention and i dont care #i know and i dont care #im just posting leave me alone #ALSO I KNOW EREBUS MEANS DARKNESS I SAID IM JUST POSTING
