i really am fucking poisoned. i was looking at the etymology of izutsumi's name and i checked her codename first, right, Asebi, aka the Japanese pieris/andromeda and like all I can think is damn that was Justine Dantzer's working name for the character who would one day be She-Ra. that's crazy

#and then i found a surname pronounced like izutsumi (well. listed as イヅツミ but idk enough to understand why it wouldn't be itsutsumi)#and it's 井堤 right? so i did what i always do when i'm on my weeb shit and looked 'em up individually #井 is 'well'#堤 is 'dyke'.#as in an embankment. but can you fucking imagine the fuckor i felt in that moment. already thinking about she-ra.#ah christ there's even that one 'son of he-man' continuity where adora's offspring was a feral child. this shit haunts me #important clarification i know the difference between ヅ and ツ but i. oh. wait it's just rendaku isn't it. okay word nvm #dungeon meshi #she ra #it's been long enough this won't clutter anyone's shit up right #clare does research sometimes
