#is there a pun with the name

[atalana]

but seriously i do find it so funny that ford was like OH GOD MY PRECIOUS REPUTATION after bill possessed him around other people for all of one night

and then he gets back to this dimension after thirty years and this is now the photo the press associates with his name

I find it incredibly funny from a meta/author perspective, that Ancient Greece decided to name their protagonist that angers many people “Anger Bringer” but, even funnier, is the in universe understating that anyone who meets Odysseus must have had the thought “oh dear, how unfortunate to be named hateful/hated” and then they have exactly One conversation with him and go “Ah I see now”

For reference, Odysseus’ name sounds very much like the Greek word odussomai, which can roughly mean “I am angry at” or “I am the cause of anger” (or simply “to hate” or “to dismiss”), a fact that is used for ironic effect frequently in the Odyssey.

It’s also specifically stated in Book 19 that Odysseus’ grandfather, a master thief and one who has also pissed off a lot of people, specifically named him this because “I am disliked by many, all across the world, and I dislike them back. So name the child Odysseus.” 19.428

Bro looked at his grandson and thought “Ahaha, this one’s going to be a troublemaker like me. Better get him started early.”

It’s like a terrible allegory for cause and effect or something.

No wait, we can still salvage this- we can have Sebastian Debeste AND Eustace Winner hang on.

His full name is Eustace Sebastian Winner. His dad gave him the name Eustace (because he hates him), his mom choose the middle name Sebastian. Debeste was his mother's maiden name. After aai2, Sebastian chooses to go by his middle name and changes his surname to his mother's maiden to fully separate himself from his father- do you hear me we can still win this

Was hesitant to post this here because... idk, I'm paranoid, but I decided that my paranoia is stupid and I should just post it anyway because why not. I'm trying to be more active on here, anyways.

Anyway I made this nearly a month ago because I saw some people saying Vox canonically owned an Alastor body pillow. No idea if that's true and I don't really care enough to look it up, but regardless I decided I needed to draw him and Val as this meme. It was too perfect. (So perfect in fact that I saw another piece of fanart with them as this meme earlier, which is what reminded me I made this).

だいじょうぶ。 ニャンとか生きていけるよ。

"It's all right. I can live through this some-meow."

●　だいじょうぶ　【大丈夫】 OK, all right, fine; safe, secure; without fear; surely, undoubtedly ●　何とか　【なんとか】 somehow, one way or another; something, so-and-so ●　生きる　【いきる】 to live, to exist; to subsist, to make a living 　・[verb]て＋いく 　to continue to [verb], to go on [verb]ing; 　to start to [verb] 　・生きていく　【いきていく】 　to subsist; 　to keep on living 　・生きていける　【いきていける】 　potential form of 生きていく: 　to be able to keep on living.

Putting it all together, this is a photo of a very scuncht cat who looks done with all of this. He's saying, "It's all right. I can live through this somehow." The joke is that the 何 【なん】 in 何とか is replaced with ニャン, the sound a cat makes.

i’ve been thinking about the pokémon memes where it’s like playing off of that one quote that’s like ‘truly strong trainers should try to win using their favorites’ and it’s like ‘ok well my favorite is [something blatantly overpowered]’ and it’s got me curious. how many people genuinely love pokémon that also happen to be really strong competitively?

so if you will. pick a favorite pokémon (for any reason! whether it’s cuteness or strength or nostalgia etc. no judgment) then go here https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/ and look it up

(you’ll see something that looks like this. see where it says tier and has some gibberish afterwards? don’t worry if you don’t know what that means but tell me what the letters/words are)

also if there are multiple forms and the distinction matters to you make sure you get the right one lol cuz the tiering can be different

edit: forgot to mention i mean specifically in SV! which is what comes up by default. rip every pokémon that either isn’t in SV (it’ll say ‘national dex’) or used to be better but has since fallen off relative to new pokémon
