random name thoughts+headcanons

"françois bonnefoy" is something that he came up with when he was the nation equivalent of 10-12, because it really sounds more like a medievalbrained Cool Title than a real name.....hello i am a frenchman of the good faith. d'accord jeunehomme! people might have already been calling him something like The Frank or the frankish child (in their various dialects) so he really just....took this to the logical conclusion. (side note: i like the idea of his roman cognomen having been flavius/flaviulus, "yellow" for his hair)

"veneziano" is pretty self-explanatory, just a place-of-origin name, in fact iirc there were some people historically who having no last name, just used this one, like the painter bartolomeo veneziano. "feliciano" is apparently not a real italian name(?correct me if this is wrong?) but could have come through any number of vulgar latin takes on "felix" ("happy") i'm very attached to feliciano as a name of his even though its linguistically questionable, because i think it makes so much sense for this name to have stuck with him...sometimes it's happily accurate and sometimes its darkly ironic.

"romano" is another one that probably rose from a nickname given to him by others. i'm not sure if the italybros ever even met their "father" and romano's primary childhood memories would probably be of east rome/byzantium (who imo is a separate character from rome) and an aging mama graecia, if she's still around. (southern italy had been greek-influenced for awhile and was controlled by east rome for a time after the fall of west rome) but these older nations would have known who this new nation-child is, and perhaps called him romulus ("little roman" basically) in remembrance of his father.

"antonio" is a pretty obvious descendent of "antonius" or "antoninus" in latin. i hc antonio to be one of the characters who remembers rome the best, so it makes sense his name would be relatively unchanged. ive toyed with the idea that "fernandez" is from one of his kings (there were a LOT of iberian kings called fernando) but its just as likely thats a story he tells to justify the name after picking it up randomly.

for my florence OC i was considering something like simonetta or clarice after famous florentine women, but eventually i was like....why fight it. her name is fiora/flora, depending on inconsistent medieval spelling. fiorella if she's being babied or teased. i think it would have grown naturally out of the name of her city, with people calling her "the florentine girl" or "the little florentine" before it slowly became less of a title and more of a name.

imo rome is lucius (taken from @absolvtely-barbaric who is so so smart) but he could have any number of cognomen (in roman naming conventions, thats the name you're more likely to be identified by) from the ever popular romulus (little roman. little rome man. little guy from rome. lmao) to marius (for mars, his patron god/probably dad) to my favorite, crispinus ("curly-top", basically, which is funny and also connects him to the italies with their special curls)

(via Travel/Italy (Part 9)—June 13, 2024)

In Italy, rural areas necessitate private cars, available for monthly rental with varying costs for manual and automatic transmissions. Limited Traffic Zones exist in cities, and toll highways can be expensive. Using a Vespa for short trips and embracing the shopping culture based on aesthetics rather than price are typical in Italy. Cash is preferred for payments.

sometimes you just need to lay in a field on the last day of summer, sun in your eyes, watching clouds roll in and listening to florence and the machine

[wrongcaitlyn]

so sorry for spamming your ask box 😭

but i was wondering if you could describe how you think nico’s singing voice/overall tone he uses in a lot of his songs is.

like i know some of the source songs are upbeat pop but i’m gathering that most of them are softer?

if there was for instance any singers that you think would be similar to how he sounds/sings i’d love to know! (eg i think will can sing moderately well he just doesn’t think he can because he doesn’t have the same regular pop style as his siblings as when he sings it sounds like a mix of florence and the crane wives in the style they use.)

first, never apologize for the asks‼️‼️ usually if i don’t respond it’s bc im doing smth boring like studying/hw and i am mentally looking forward to responding😭😭

had to sleep on this and think on it for a while to see if i could remember the names of any other male artists, and then accepted the simple fact that i am a certified pop girl stan and that will never changeHDKDJ

sooo i cant RLLY think of anyone that, like, matches his voice aside from conan gray - that’s who ive been imagining the most while writing😭 i just think his voice is honestly so beautiful and ig its just how ive imagined it?

i can give some songs specifically that i think are so so nico (in terms of vocal delivery, not lyrics/production)

- heather

- people watching

- astronomy

- little league

i think very much kid krow conan/some superache songs are the way that he sings… i also feel like he sometimes over-produces(?) idk if that’s a term but like changes his voice slightly in production (less and less as the years go on bc he’s more comfortable with his natural voice) but his live performances are incredible. i also don’t think he necessarily knows his range, like he’s never tested it out, so one day he’s gonna sing super high notes just bc he never tried before (snow angel) and it’ll be incredible

the only other male artists i know/listen to are hozier and noah kahan and their voices are very different than what i imagine nico’s to be😭 i don’t necessarily think it’s raspy (or at least, not when he records it like in the studio) but really smooth, sometimes with voice cracks if its like an intentionally very emotional song

i think he also intentionally sings a lot in his lower register (think, like, the way taylor sings maroon vs how she’d sing karma) and he’s incredibleee at it.

honestly the way i’d like to describe it the most is simply angelic. i’m sure there’s an artist out there somewhere that sings the way i imagine nico to, but for now im just gonna go with conan!! im in awe of his vocal capabilities tbh, esp in the recent album (even tho i don’t think found heaven necessarily matches with nico’s voice/what i imagine that to be)

AND YOU ARE SOO RIGHT ABT WILL he def can sing, but he always like purposefully messes up the singing if yk what i mean? like if he was actually trying, he’d be incredible, but he purposefully puts on like a strained tone or messes up notes just bc he doesn’t want his actual singing voice to be judged (plus he grew up around naomi and apollo and a bunch of other singers, and he just isn’t *that* good, but he’s definitely not bad in any way)

thank you for the ask!!

Nah I dont think zendaya is thinking that way. After an 11 hour flight, shes probably a mixture of being tired, stressed out with the brazil crowd, and seemed ready to leave after the panel. Also Zendaya is also friends with florence and austin not only timmy I mean she shouldnt have to talk to someone if she doesnt want to. 😭😭😭😭

Her image is fine like shes friends with sam levinson and that hasnt really negatively affected her image

Timmy is dealing with his own problems due to his own stupidity, I dont think its fair to rope zendaya into that. Zendaya is still loved despite her proximity to timothee.

Im sure zendaya and timmy are friends and cool with one another but the " best friendism soul matism" was mostly timdayas creating that narrative when in reality they just friends and developed a great bond while filming and from the looks of things she was acting the same at times in 2021 during the dune press tour so to me I didnt get the impression she was freezing out timmy.

(Side note: with regards to the SNL skit like maybe zendaya didnt like joke and maybe wasnt happy with timmy which could also be a possibility- who knows I aint zendaya I dont know how she thinks)

Yea, I agree Anon. And just for the record, I wasn't saying that her image was going to be tainted or anything.

I was just saying that I know Z is pretty cautious when it comes to her image. She's the "Golden Child" remember lol? 😉

I mean, what's going on around the world with Palestine and Israel is pretty SERIOUS. And some people in HW are even losing their jobs due to their stance.

But yea... Honestly, the whole entire cast was probably jet-lagged and tired today. They all just got into Brazil like the day before lol.

1, 2, and 20 (w sese obv) for the music ask game <3

1. which artist(s) have you listened to the most lately?

lately ive been listening to a lot of florence + the machine! she's always in my spring playlists bc she fits the vibes of romanticizing my walks to uni in the rain. but im also always listening to my work out playlist to do hw (when it's not ramadan) and that has a lot of underground toxic rap LOL.

2. favorite genre(s)

according to spotify it's rap, indie pop, and underground hip hop.

20. a song that reminds you of a fictional character or ship (feel free to specify)

NOW IK IT SAYS ONE SONG BUT!! since u requested sergio id say "smack a bitch" by rico nasty or "chun li" by nicki minaj . like its so him... especially his playing style. but that's my taste. i think if i were to pick one more sergios speed itd be "gold" by imagine dragons

[renaissancefailmarriage]

first art post on this blog….veneziano and my florence OC

[piccolomostri]

we had to do b&w value studies for hw so i decided to do that one picture of florence

this technically isn’t my first time drawing digitally but it IS the first time it hasn’t looked like hot garbage so im cool with it even if it’s not as detailed as i’d like

[talkingharrystyles]

“I feel like I’m not ready to give up on this yet, and I too am heartbroken and I want to figure this out,” she says in the video. “You know, I think this might be a bit of a wake-up call for Miss Flo, and I want to know if you’re open to giving this a shot with me, with us. If she really commits, if she really puts her mind and heart into it at this point and if you guys can make peace — and I respect your point of view, I respect hers — but if you guys can do it, what do you think? Is there hope? Will you let me know?”

Nah, this bitch is not serious. She claims to be a feminist to then invalidate Flo‘s feelings. HE‘S AN ABUSER and you wanted Florence to suck it up. She would’ve put Shia above Flo if he didn’t leave on his own. No wonder Florence wants nothing to do with that monster. Unbelievable.

The fact she was wiling to put flo in this position just shows how little she thinks about woman

But that’s what happens when you are trained by HW

[distant-stargazer]

5. What is the song you most associate to them?

This is...a very loaded question. I literally have miles of playlists for Altun (and Enrei too for that matter) and very specific songs for extremely specific things. So I have a very short list of main ones.

For her childhood, Glitter by Patrick Droney.

Specifically for during pre-ARR and ARR, All the King's Horses by Karmina and All the King's Men by The Rigs.

For HW, Hymn for the Missing by Red.

For SB, Atlas: Touch and Anger by Sleeping at Last.

For ShB, and more specifically, Drk!Altun, Vulture Vulture by Of Monsters and Men as well as Which Witch by Florence + the Machine.

For EW, Mars by Sleeping at Last, The Last Goodbye by Billy Boyd, and The Call by Regina Spektor.

And even more specifically for her and Reina, Atlas: Heart and Dear True Love by Sleeping at Last, Starlight by STARSET, Find Me by Aviators, and What You Mean to Me from Finding Neverland.

Thanks for asking !

I got news for them // With the way how most people view nepotism nowadays, it won’t work especially on her peers. She’s got actresses like Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy and the likes to compete with. And her being connected with Chris wouldn’t actually do something because: 1) Chris is not Leo DiCaprio who had an actual impact on HW (ex-gf CM got some offers); 2) Unless she’s an actual good actress, people won’t bat an eye on her. Audiences nowadays requires talent more than visuals; 3) Her peers got a lot to offer, she needs originality. 4) People heavily criticized celebs that comes from nepotism or one who rises from connection — I would like to add that in addition to strong competition, she will have to face the fact that she is the most ordinary. She has a typical appearance and no special talent. There are many such actresses. To become a truly significant person in Hollywood, you have to have something more than Chris Evans as a bf. This type is simply not attractive to the viewer. I can tell you this as a person who works in the field of marketing. She simply does not meet the demand in this “market” and their idea to make an IT GIRL out of her will also quickly fail. This is more of a Zendaya or Ana de Armas type, but not Alba. My advice is to work a little harder and don't expect Evans' magical power of influence to somehow win an Oscar.

First of all, she needs to quit saying her intuition is enough. It just shows lack of professionalism and 0 dedication to your job.

Also the way her team tried to procclaim her "the next It girl in Hollywood". That was a good joke, not gonna lie.

But yeah. Being related to Chris won't give her big roles (or none at all). It didn't work that way for Minka or Jenny, not even for Scott. Chris is popular, but not a big and powerful actor. Those are two different terms some people tend to confuse

[majaloveschris]

One thing that I found complety ironic with AB being the new "it girl" is that they are trying to brand her as this "not like other’s actresses" with the whole speaking 5 languages, the reading, the yoga, the anxiety, the being an introvert, etc. As if being that is unique to her, and I dont know her maybe she is all that, but she is definitely not the only one, not even in hollywood (ehem kendall jenner is like the champion of that, like that is her whole brand...) I mean in general models and influencers tend to go towards that route, so her acting like doing all that is rare doesnt make her look good, atleast in my opinion, instead of being relatable makes her look like she thinks she is superior and I think that look doesnt work unless you have a solid fanbase; I don't know if i am making sense but like marketing her as "not being like other girls" just doesnt work like before, right now that translates to being a "pick me girl" wich is not good and most times off putting. Also all of her personality, interviews, etc. Just seem very fabricated, maybe is because in general there isn't much content about her so what little there is seems rehearsed, like some had said, yes she kinda copies chris but also is a little obvious she molds herself like natalie portman, I got that with the speaking various languages and the "being well read" she/her team mentions in literally every interview, but unlike natalie she doesnt have neither the acting chops nor the academic background and without them that image wont work atleast not so early in her carrer. If she wanted for that to be her image she should have built a fanbase first, all it girls have them and thats why there is a variety of images between the real it girls ( zendaya being classy, alexa being chic and sexy, sidney being the girl next door, florence being talented) and I am not saying they arent that, on the contrary, it would not work if they couldn't back it up BUT it is the fandom that gives the push. Celebrities need their fandoms until atleast their talent solidifies them in HW and even after if they are smart, so her being aloof and acting like she is all that and superior, wont get her anywhere.

So sorry this is so long 😞 its just that you are one of the few blogs that allows to talk and debate about her.

No problem!

She acts like everybody is so extroverted in HW, and they only like partying, and drinking, while it's not true. 

I understand if somebody doesn't take classes because for example they can't afford it, or they don't have a place to start. Not everybody has the chance to learn acting for several reasons, but they have natural talent. Of course, they also need to take lessons and improve themselves, but in her case it's not true. She has a wealthy family. She also could've developed her acting while shooting or in between projects. 

She should appreciate her fans much more. They spend their free times on her. They support her, manage a fan account, and she seems so ungrateful.
