Remember when people would make gifsets and analysis posts and stuff about the meanings behind characters names, and find a interpretation that- regardless of whether or not it was intentional- added like another layer to the characters story??? That shit was amazing I miss it

#ramblings of a lunatic #ppl probably still do it in all fairness but I've only seen it in cases where the name is very relevant/the significance is clear #i got caught up thinking about how damian wayne's name (when u use his moms name as his surname) means ''tamer of demons''#and how that ties into his arc and i. aughj. kills #but i also have been thinking about Dick and Steph (i was reading batgirl 2009) and i realized their names have similar meanings?#like richard means strong in rule or something to that effect #obviously has to do with the english king richard and this connection is referenced in Nightwing 2016 issues 16-20 #but STEPHANIE comes from the greek stephanos which apparently means ''crown''#and then you draw the elaborate web of connections between Steph and Dick's characters and all their similarities and differences #and i become evil <3 #i also have Feelings and Thoughts about a possible intention behind cass' name. visa vie the Cassandra of greek myth #but consider: it is very late and i should sleep #anyway shoutout to toh also the name game on that show was EXCELLENT almost every name had significance to it #but not so much it became distracting y'know? good concept good execution we love to see it!
