Okay, so I know this one is probably based on cumin/spice traders, but it reminded me of a fun fact something that was on a final exam when I was in 10th grade.
A lot of people's last names come from the fact that they had an ancestor left as a foundling, and had to be named by the local magistrate.
Sometimes that was the last name of whoever found them, or the current saint's day (more likely to be used for the first name, though), the name of an object the kid was left with, the location they were found, or even just the whim of the magistrate. There's records of people being named "unknown" and variations thereof.
In particularly foundling prone areas, it could even be whatever name was pre-filled out one the list, which was usually a way to line up a nice variety of mundane, socially acceptable last names no one would question. Usually. Occasionally, people used it to get... Creative. Or political.
Like one Louvain magistrate from 1789 who decided to get inspiration for 39 kids' last names from a protest pamphlet:
"Enfin alles gaet om zeep. En de maegere ratten worden vet met gestolen goed, zoodat stelen, herboots rooven, plunderen geene zonde en is. Helaes, onder wat tirannen leeven wij: galges, pruijsman, recruet, canon. Komt ons helpen uijt de slavernije van de booze tyran."
Loosely translated: "In the end, everything is going to pot. And the starving rats are fattened with stolen goods, making it so stealing, brazen robbery and looting is no longer sin. Alas, under what kind of tyrants do we live: gallows, [Prussian?], recruit, cannon. Come deliver us from the evil tyrant's slavery."
In defense of this magistrate: the kids were meant to be renamed if and when they were adopted, and this was a time and late 18th century Europe was not the greatest moment to be born and live to see 5 years old. Those are not names picked by an optimistic man. Still, if the kid lived and wasn't adopted or shoved into a religious institution, you'd end up with a census listing for Johnny Evil Tyrant, born 1789.
Which is to say: a fair amount of people named Cumming are descended from spice traders. But it's also entirely possible that a handful people are named that because someone in Ye Olden Days was thinking of, or doing, what OP is inferring.
two thoughts i had in tandem this morning
a lot of people's last names are loosely based on the job or trade of their ancestors
a last name that a fair amount of people have is Cumming

Anyways I'm so fucking relieved that Porter was evil actually. Bc I was actually so damn mad that he got to be right about Gorgug. Like there's just something insidious about the idea of a teacher who comes in and says they know more about what your path should be. And they push and push and keep telling you that they're only hurting you bc they know you can do more. And it doesn't matter if you feel that way or even if you want to do more, bc they've decided they know the right path for you. And it's only ever your life and your sanity on the line; they're risking nothing. So I was so fucking mad when Gorgug succeeded at the barbificer thing and Porter got to be all 'see? I was only pushing you bc I believed in you' bc you better believe if Gorgug hadn't managed it, the blame would've been on him not Porter....
Anyways with the hindsight that Porter is basically the big bad, it suddenly becomes a question of if Porter even wanted Gorgug to succeed. Like they had to know the Bad Kids were the biggest threat to their plan, so like. Undermining them in whatever way was possible would be smart. And so instead of Porter getting to be Right about how to treat Gorgug, it's like. Was he sabotaging him? Was he trying to make Gorgug fail? And it becomes more that Gorgug succeeded in spite of Porter's bullshit.

Mili from gote to handa!!! these were originally simple doodles but i had to polish it because she's my favorite from the game
#gote to handa#gote and handa#miri gote to handa#or mili.. or milli... im not sure what spelling of her name would be the go to in general fandom translation#love her range of expressions they're so funny so i drew a few here#im still not done clearing up my schedule to go back to my challenge but that dont mean i cant draw in between it :333#would love to draw her more but i have to finish my japanese drills www SOON...#goofy bonus storytime but i debated so much how to draw her prior to this because i didnt know what a junior high was#basically the translation for gote to handa i read described the characters as being in junior high#but im not familiar to english or american school customs outside of movies and such (its feels unreal compared to my culture www)#i tried looking it up but for whatever reason it brought up elementary school... and then middle school?#and i didnt know how to look it up because again im not familiar with english school systems if not superficially HDALJDKAD#so i gave up and read up on japanese school uniform usage and inferred from it that they are middle schoolers#BUT IM STILL SO CONFUSED ON WHAT THE JUNIOR HIGH IS ... i didnt know there were more terms than elementary middle and high school😭😭#in the end its not like how i drew mili is that much different from how i draw characters younger than her tbh BUT I TRY...#just a funny story of how i dont comprehend ... english... american ... school systems at all let me know what a junior high is LOL😭😭#i dont know if its an american or. general english speaking country thing thats why i mention both#is there a catchall word for english country natives in english. there sure is in spanish but would sound strange mixed in www#(i must say the difference between elementary and middle school was crucial because shes said to be in second year)#SO SECOND YEAR OF WHAT WAS. INDEED CRUCIAL because thats a big difference isnt it😭😭😭??? didn't want to draw her too big nor too small lol#and second *year* confused me the most because the term “year” is not used for students younger than what would be high school students her#so yes i was fighting for me life#drotter fights culture shock the story

doodles and some lore. I'm tired.
#Jay does this thing on second dates where he tests the other person#he wants to make sure they'd like all of him. every part of him that may throw others off or realize he's insane#Matt and Jay were friends during high school. dated in college and broke up just before finding out Jay was pregnant#they decided to co-parent Mona and just view one another as friends#Mona really likes Don and Tk. loves Peter. though dislikes Lucy quite a bit because of how much she hears Jay complain about her with Matt#Mona is very close with Jay despite living with Matt and only coming over to Jay during the holidays/some weekends#Jay moved into the complex about a year prior to meeting Peter. he's had 5 roommates since moving in#Lucy has been the worst compared to the rest but is the only one Jay tolerates (since she's young and reminds him of himself. pretransition#Jay and Don hated each other in the beginning. only really bonded over talking shit about a neighbor#and Jay saying “anyway I gotta finish watching the game.” Don saying how he wanted to too but his tv is fucked so they watch together#Tk does have feelings for Jay but Jay just can't take the hint. he simply just thinks he's making jokes and is very kind#Jay really cares about Lucy. he often checks up on her when she's out and buys her dinner if he didn't make anything for them#and she ofc tries to make his life easier by cleaning the apartment making him coffee in the mornings etc etc#also Jay and Don sometimes just talk about marriage. how both of theirs didn't work out (I headcanon that for Don)#how it'd go - Don: I just wish I showed her how much I cared... Jay: I chased mine down with a knife. didn't kill her though. I promise.#Jay also calls Don's kid (the cop) Don Jr. he doesn't mind it that much. it's mainly cause Jay never remembers his name#my art#yb peter#Yb don#Void#Jay#Yb tk#Yb lucy#none of them die btw. Peter kills some guy who treated Jay poorly#the entirety of Jay and Peter's relationship before the abduction takes place over June#I say so cause it was a bit alarming to Tk. Don and Matt how fast Jay was rushing into the relationship and such#anyway uhh idk what else to say

hello and life updates
hiii friends!
i am (kind of) back after my latest unplanned hiatus ahaha, nothing particularly bad happened in my personal life to cause me to leave or anything like that but i did decide that i needed to prioritize my irl friends and community for awhile because i had a big life change coming up, which was moving to a new town to start my masters program! i have since moved and started said program, which has been going well but definitely takes up like all of my time ;_;
on the future of my story:
honestly while i was away i would revisit my story from time to time in the hopes i would find motivation to come back and keep working on it, but i feel like instead i just kept finding flaws and plot holes that discouraged me more :( i still cherish frankie and co dearly and have saved all of their files on the off chance i decide to pick things back up! but for now i'm officially putting the story on hiatus. I'M SORRY i know i left it on such a cliffhanger :((
on the future of this blog:
i have actually decided to fully restart on a new blog! there's literally nothing wrong with this one i just kind of want a clean slate. if you're interested in seeing what i'm up to going forward, you can follow me at @saccharinesim (i'd love to have you!) i might even already have a story idea that i'm fleshing out ahaha. given how busy i am these days i can't promise any amount of consistency, but i've missed this community and everyone in it a whole lot and the fact that i cannot seem to stay away just goes to show how valuable it is :')
ok that's all i have to say for now! peace and love everyone <3

not enough people say this, but
it's ok to drop out of school
ok maybe not high school, please unless you are physically or mentally unable to complete it, then stay in school but if you're sat there thinking "i don't think this degree is right for me" or "my mental health has hit rock bottom and i can't keep doing this", then go for it
there is no shame in realising what you are doing isn't right for you or that in order to survive you have to stop.
i should know
i studied bioveterinary for 2 years. my 1st year was great, finishing with a grade of 60% (which is a pretty good grade in the UK). my 2nd year however was filled with mental health problems, horrific living conditions, bullying, borderline emotional abuse, and some awful life events. after all of that, i failed one of my final exams, which was a surprise as i was sure i'd failed multiple. when i got my grades and saw that, i realised i wasn't only upset because i'd failed something, but because i had to force myself to resit as i felt like i had to finish that degree, not because i wanted to
after talking to my parents (who were luckily very supportive of me) the decision was made for me to drop out
now i chose to go straight back to uni. a lot of my problems were with the people at my old university and so i applied and was quickly accepted onto an integrated masters in biochem, the degree i actually wanted to do. since then i have finished my first year, my mental health is improving slightly, the life events are getting easier, i'm not surrounded by incredibly toxic people. and despite this university having higher standings, my final grade worked out around 69%, almost a full grade above previous attempt
dropping out of my first degree was one of the best decisions i have ever made
so if anybody tries to tell you dropping out is weak and means you couldn't handle it, they are wrong
even if you just don't want to do it and you want to go work in a cafe, as long as it isn't a spur of the moment decision, and you think it through, if it's what feels right to you, then do it
