One of the more esoteric things that I am really really into is reptile eponyms, and since it’s a topic that most people aren’t very familiar with, I want to share just a couple with you:
The skink species Lerista amicorum was discovered and named by a pair of Australian zoologists who are also best friends. The species name is Latin for “of the friends” in honor of their friendship and discovery together
The gecko species Lepidodactylus buleli was named in an article describing the new species in 2006, but nobody knows what the species name “bulel” is referencing. The etymology states “The specific epithet buleli is given by the author as a reference to a personal and private story and has no particular signification related to the species, its characteristics, geographical origin, or biology.” Some sort of scientist inside joke I guess you had to be there
There is a species of death adder with the proposed* name Acanthophis crotalusei which is in honor of the author’s pet dog, Crotalus. In case you didn’t know, Crotalus is the name of a completely different genus of snake, so using it for a death adder is unforgivably confusing. (*There is some very complicated herpetology drama behind this story)
The Martin Garcia least gecko Sphaerodactylus ladae is named in honor of the discoverers rental car, a Russian LADA.

Love Senior ep. 2 bits and bobs
Disclaimer: not a native Thai speaker, still learning 🙏
Bad girl
แย่จริง ๆ น้องคนเนี่ย /yae jing jing nong khon niia/ = Awful for real, this junior! เด็กดื้อ /dek deuu/ = Stubborn/naughty girl!
How to explain? I needed to show the difference in the Thai, even though the subs say 'Bad girl' twice, because เด็กดื้อ /dek deuu/ has romance trope connotations.
And speaking of those- just before, as Naow pets Gyoza's head, Naow calls her ไอ้ต้าว /ai dtaao/ (I just can't make out the entire sentence rip), which is slang? cutesy? for ไอ้เจ้า /ai jao/, which is a prefix I guess that's affectionately used for pets for example. If you've seen My School President, ไอ้ต้าว /ai dtaao/ is what Win calls Sound in ep. 12 - I think it was subbed as pumpkin on YouTube? 'Cutie' might be a good roundabout way to translate it.
เกียร์อยู่ที่ใคร ใจอยู่ที่เกียร์ /gear yuu thee khrai, jai yuu thee gear/ = Whoever the gear is with, the heart's with the gear. ของคนสำคัญหนอ /kaawng khon sam khan naaw/ = [It must] belong to someone important, hm? -> lit. important person, can also imply 'significant other'
Rotten dog makes its reappearance!
ไอ้นาว ทำหน้าเป็นหมาเน่าอีกแล้วนะมึง /ai Naow, tam naa bpen maa nao eek laaeo na, mueng/ = Naow, you're making that face again like you're a rotten dog, dude. หยุดมโน อย่าลงตัวเอง ไอ้หมาเน่า /yuut ma noh. yaa lohng dtua eng, ai maa nao/ -> see last week's post for details because Naow's brother Faung also called her หมาเน่า /maa nao/ (= rotten, spoiled, decayed, putrid, foul dog)
This one came out a tad bit unfortunate so I felt I needed to clarify for P'Pure's sake lmao
ใช้งานจนสตีหลุดไปแล้ว /chai ngaan john sa dtee luut bpai laaeo/ = worked her until she's out of it/lost all sense/until breaking -> ใช้งาน /chai ngaan/ = to work (sth./sb.), utilize, operate, use [for] work
This sounds less flirty in Thai lol
ตบหัวแล้วลูบหลัง /dtohp hua laaeo luup lang/ = lit. slap on the head then pat on the back; idiom for doing or saying sth. mean/hurtful then trying to console/mollify
The puppy and its mother (thanks Lada for continuing to be the icon that you are mwah!)
เห็นตามติดแกยิ่งกว่าลูกหมาไม่หย่านมแม่ซะอีก /hen dtaam dtit gae ying gwaa luuk maa mai yaa nom mae sa eek/ = Saw her following you around even more than a puppy that isn't weaned off its mother ไงแม่หมา ลูกหมาออกล่าเหยื่ออย่างเป็นทางการแหล่ะ /ngai mae maa? luuk maa aawk laa yeuua yaang bpen taang gaan lae/ = So, mother dog? The puppy's officially out to hunt for prey.
Mr. Teddy
นี่เธอกำลังงับหูเจ้า(???)อยู่นะนาว ปล่อยตุ๊กตาพี่เดี๋วนี้ /nee ter gam lang ngap huu jao ??? yuu na, Naow? bplaawy dtook ga dtaa phi diao nee/ = Are you biting ???'s ear, Naow? Let my teddy go right now!
The teddy has a name!! The prefix เจ้า /jao/ (as with Gyo's vespa เจ้าหมูแดง /jao moo daaeng/) tells me the teddy bear has a name, I just can't make it out clearly 😔
Clarification on the pronoun used here
แกเลยรู้สึกแย่กับเจ้าของเกียร์ที่ห้อยคอแกอยู่รึไง /gae loey ruu seuk yae gap jao khaawng gear thee haawy kaaw gae yuu reu ngai/ = So you feel bad about/because of the owner of the gear hanging from your neck then?
And a note re: pronouns and names
The scene in Gyoza's room where they eat together and then tease each other on the balcony is the only one in this episode where they both don't refer to Gyoza as พี่ /phi/ (refer to my post from last week for explanation)!
When Naow stays the night, she calls Gyoza พี่ /phi/ and Gyoza herself refers to herself as พี่ /phi/ as well - I only noticed her call herself เกี๊ยว /Giao/ when she says she's scared of the thunder. 🥺

Slavic myths about the creation of the world
The World Tree
The Slavic World Tree is an oak, a sacred tree that is incredibly important throughout Slavic mythology. At its roots is Nawia, the realm of the dead/underworld. Here, the god Weles (Veles) dwells. The trunk of the tree is Jawia, the realm of the living. And among the branches is Prawia, the realm of the gods, ruled by the thunder god, Perun.
It used to be at the beginning of the world –
Then there was no sky or earth,
No sky nor earth but the blue sea,
And in the middle of the sea on oak
Two pigeons were sitting.
Two pigeons on an oak tree
They held such a council,
Happy debated and cooed:
How can we create the world?
We will fall to the bottom of the sea,
We'll bring out the fine sand
Fine sand, blue stone.
We will sow fine sand,
We will pick up the blue pebble.
From fine sand - black earth,
- icey water, green grass.
From the blue stone - the blue sky,
Blue sky, bright sun,
Bright sun, bright moon,
bright moon and all the stars
Białobóg I Czarnobóg
In the beginning, there was nothing but the sky, the sea, the God (Białobóg) who sailed by boat and the devil (Czarnobóg) emerging from the sea foam, who sat down to God. The idea of creating the Earth was suggested to God by the devil, who could not do it by himself alone. The devil immersed himself and brought out a handful of sand from the bottom. God threw it on the water and created the beginning of the Earth so thin that they both barely fit on it. God and the devil inhabited the Earth, the devil thought to push the sleeping God into the water, but he contributed to the expansion of the land from the side of God, from the east and from his own side, from the west. Both creators started a dispute that ended up with God going to heaven and knocking down the devil, who also went there, by lightning into the abyss.
The Cosmic Egg
Rod created the magical golden egg. The crust broke and out of the egg left Svarog, Lada and Chernabog. Svarog married Lada and then fell asleep. During his dreams, he saw the entire world, the perfection of it, its beauty and he didn't want to wake up. His wife desperately wanted him to open his eyes again so she gave birth to everything he dreamt of. While she was doing that, Chernabog silently watched. He grew envious of Svarog's beautiful world to be and he sat out to destroy it. But then Svarog woke up and threw him away.
He then stood marveling the perfection of the world. He decided to come to the centre of the world where he found the white stone Alatir. He decided to turn it into his forge. He created more weapons to fight Chernabog if he was to return.
And, oh, he was. But now as a dragon with hundreds of heads and an iron tail. Svarog couldn't fight him alone so he forged more gods to help him. The first one was Dazhbog, the god of Sun. Then Stribog the god of wind. And finally, Semargl, the god - dog of fire.
Combined together, the powerful gods defeated dragon Chernabog and used him as a bull. Namely, Svarog forged a plow and the gods made Chernabog pull it. The large canyon he made was the border that separated the world. The world where gods live is Prav and the dark realm of Chernabog is Nav. The only thing that connects them is Kalinov bridge which will later be used by souls who passed away.
The gods decided to move up and live in the Sky. So they made Lada give birth to a magical Oak, the world tree. Oak's branches were holding the sky, its trunk became Yav, the visible world and its roots grew down to Nav enabling evil things to climb up to Earth and Heaven just to fight gods in desperate need to continue the mission of Chernabog.

Several months after Moscow launched its full-scale war against Ukraine, Russian authorities, short on manpower, allowed the Wagner mercenary group to start recruiting inmates from Russian prisons. Many of the prisoners who agreed to enlist had been incarcerated for most of their adult lives. Pavel Zakharov, a 39-year-old from the Republic of Karelia, was granted freedom in January after purportedly spending six months on the battlefield with Wagner. Before his mercenary career, Zakharov was serving an 11-year sentence for brutally murdering his girlfriend’s mother as “revenge” for the way she had treated her daughter. Journalists from the independent media outlet Holod used court records to reconstruct Zakharov’s story. Meduza is publishing an abridged translation of their report.
On the evening of January 24, 2015, Nina Belova was celebrating her 61st birthday in her St. Petersburg apartment. Surrounded by friends and family, she didn’t notice the gray Lada sedan that was parked outside of the building. As the sun set, a man and woman inside the vehicle watched the guests leave one by one.
Once they were sure Nina was the only person still home, the couple got out of the vehicle. The woman was heavyset, with blonde hair reaching almost to her shoulders; the man was skinny and wore his dark hair in a crew cut. They walked up to the building, and the woman called Nina on the intercom.
“Mom, we decided to stop by for some tea,” she said. The woman, Nadezhda Nikolayeva, was Nina Belova’s 40-year-old daughter, and she was accompanied by her 31-year-old boyfriend, Pavel Zakharov. The two lived together in Svyatozero, a village in Russia’s Republic of Karelia.
Nina buzzed them up. But after greeting her mother, Nadezhda stopped: she had forgotten her puppies in the car, she said, and she was worried they would freeze if she didn’t cover them with a blanket. When she returned to the vehicle, Nadezhda got back inside and looked up at the glowing apartment window.
Two hours later, the light in the window went out. After another hour, Pavel came out of the building, got in the car, and asked Nadezhda if she had any napkins.
His hands were covered in blood. He pulled a washcloth-wrapped knife out of his left sleeve and tucked it under the floor mat, then threw some cash on the dashboard.
The next day, one of Nina Belova’s friends tried to call her. When she didn’t pick up after several attempts, the friend got worried and went to check on her. Finding Nina’s apartment door open, she let herself inside. She walked through the apartment to the kitchen, where she saw Nina’s body lying on the floor.
According to forensic examiners, Nina Belova was stabbed approximately 50 times. Nadezhda Nikolayeva and Pavel Zakharov were arrested four months later. He was charged with murder, and she was charged with incitement to murder.
A rocky relationship
Pavel Zakharov grew up in an orphanage. His first run-in with the law came when he was a teenager: he was sentenced to three years of probation for car theft when he was 18. After that came his first real prison sentence: four and a half years for burglary.
In March 2007, Pavel was released on parole. Four months later, he committed another crime: he and three other young men allegedly robbed four people in a park. Pavel pleaded not guilty in court, claiming he had been drunk and had no memory of the incident. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, though he was released after only six.
After that, he returned to his hometown of Svyatozero, where his sister, Olga, bred German and Central Asian Shepherds with another woman named Nadezhda Nikolayeva. Nadezhda and Pavel soon started dating. Nadezhda adored dogs: she had six of her own, and had an entire album dedicated to them on social media, where she referred to them as her “children.”
But Nadezhda also had a real child: she was raising her daughter, Lera, from a past marriage. In 2015, Lera turned 13. Some years earlier, Lera had unwittingly become the center of a conflict between Nadezhda and her own mother, Nina Belova: according to Nadezhda, Nina was convinced that she, Nadezhda, wouldn’t be able to handle raising a daughter of her own. Nadezhda claims that Nina and her own husband came to Nadezhda’s house one day and took Lera away. It wasn’t until a month later that Nikolayeva found Lera in Nina’s husband’s apartment. In response to that and several other incidents, Nadezhda cut off contact with her mother for years.
Revenge
After they started dating, Nadezhda Nikolayeva often told Pavel stories about her childhood. These stories made Pavel furious.
One involved Nadezhda’s adopted younger brother. Once, Nina had left both children at home and told Nadezhda to look after her brother. The brother ended up falling out of a window and dying. Ever since then, Nina had blamed Nadezhda for the boy’s death.
Nadezhda also told Pavel about her stepdad, who she said had raped her and beaten her when she was little. When she told her mother about the abuse, she didn’t believe her.
According to Pavel’s later accounts, in January 2015, Nadezhda confessed to him that she sometimes had thoughts of “punishing” her mother. In response, he immediately told her that they “weren’t going to talk anymore, [they] were going to act,” and told her to choose a day.
On Nina Belova’s birthday, the couple went from Svyatozera to St. Petersburg. On the way to Nina’s, they stopped at a hunting shop, where Pavel bought a knife.
At 10:00 p.m., after Nadezhda lied about the puppies and left the apartment, Nina was left alone with Pavel. When she went into the kitchen to clean the remaining dishes, Pavel followed her. They spoke for about 10 minutes. As soon as Nina began criticizing Nadezhda’s parenting skills, Pavel got angry. He pulled a knife out of his sleeve and stabbed Nina three times in the back. He then turned the kitchen light off so that they couldn’t be seen from outside. After that, he stabbed her about 40 more times.
Before leaving, he tried to make it look like a random robbery had taken place: he ransacked the apartment in search of anything valuable, but was only able to find 6,000 rubles (about $85). On the way back to Svyatozero, he changed into clean clothes and threw the bloody paper towels, clothing, and knife onto the side of the highway.
Pavel Zakharov pleaded guilty in court, though he claimed Nikolayeva hadn’t incited the murder. Nadezhda told the court that she hadn’t wanted Pavel to kill her mother, and that she and Nina had patched up their relationship in recent years; she asked them to convict her of concealment rather than incitement. In an appeal, Nadezhda said that her initial confessions had been given under duress, as she had been interrogated without a lawyer and it had lasted for almost 24 hours with no break. According to Nadezhda, after she was arrested, an investigator and several officers went to her daughter, Lera, and tried to make her pressure her mother to confess to the charges.
Pavel Zakharov was one of the men in the video; his identity was confirmed by the Telegram channel Rotonda. At the gathering, the mercenaries joked about Wagner Group capturing Alaska and establishing a “Hawaiian People’s Republic.” They also told Prigozhin how his private military company had changed their lives for the better. “Now I have the chance to work, to be useful to my country, to feel like a real man,” one of the men said on camera. “That wasn’t in the cards before.” Unlike most of the men present, Pavel Zakharov was silent throughout the video.
According to Evgeny Prigozhin, all of these pardoned prisoners were released and their Wagner contracts are over. According to Rotonda, however, one of the convicts who was released is still officially part of Wagner Group and is only on leave. Another one, 66-year-old Alexander Tyutin, who was previously sentenced to 23 years in prison for organizing the murder of a four-member family, flew to Turkey in mid-January for a vacation, according to Fontanka.
Holod was unable to reach Pavel Zakharov for comment. His relatives declined to speak to journalists, as did Nadezhda Nikolayeva’s relatives. Nadezhda Nikolayeva herself, who was released from prison about one year ago, also declined to speak.

Little update.
I'm finally getting my mojo back... my own skills are still not trained enough to be published outright. Thus, why I've had Lada helping me with Dog & Chili's art. I'm probably gonna have a bunch of stuff to share soon... Mostly my rough doodles or complete comics. Of course I'm not posting them until I've finished posting the character interviews over on New Grounds. Get the Sunday posting schedule rolling.

Alright this calls for a master reblog.
First of all @folklorespring @empirenowmp3 Are you guys my long-lost sisters? I hope this isn't weird but I want to give you both a big hug.
I also still have the wrapper boxes. And I was taught by my mother how to smooth the foil after I unpack the chocolate. Also, wrapping paper! I hate hate hate HATE this habit of people to just rip beautiful and intricate wrapping paper and just throw it away, and it also has to do with all this!
Also yes, the cars, THE CARS! You had to register in a fucking waiting list for one that the government would supply to you... And wait upwards of TEN YEARS to get a rickety Lada, Moskvich, Zaporozhets or the CARDBOARD car, the Trabant. Of course, the top brass comrades got Opels and BMWs and Mercedeses purchased on one of their work trips abroad and imported without issue which for a mortal citizen would have been criminal offense.
My family also never truly recovered. Hell, it's the opposite - this habit persisted in the 90s and was passed onto me and now I'm struggling with it. But as @folklorespring says, the balance is in-between. I'm still on the "trouble throwing stuff away" side but I'm trying to reduce clutter and ask myself whether I'll really need something before I go Bilbo Baggins on it.
@tuulikki Yeah, it's the same here now. People who made it to middle class tend to overdo this. Call me what you will but I actually went and picked up someone's discarded flatscreen TV which was in full working order and it actually passed the test for making House of the Dragon a decent viewing experience.
@ladjarica Yep, Yugoslavia was like the gateway to the west when it came to consumer goods. My parents describe it as a whole other world. And this was despite the country being considered communist and non-western but a "third world" country. Hell, people needed special permits and a lot of ass kissing to go visit, and there was always someone breathing down your neck to make sure you didn't bolt through Ljubljana to Trieste.
For the record, we were never part of the USSR but we might as well have been with all the dogged, slavish obedience our regime showed.

Italian Greyhound Dog – Breed Facts & Information
Italian Greyhound are elegant and graceful dogs that have captured the hearts of many with their charming appearance and friendly nature. Here are some interesting facts and information about this unique breed.
Originating from Italy, Italian Greyhounds are believed to be one of the oldest breeds of dogs. They were adored by royalty and nobility during the Renaissance period, and their popularity has only grown since then. These dogs are known for their slender and delicate build, standing at about 13 to 15 inches tall and weighing around 7 to 14 pounds. Despite their small size, Italian Greyhounds possess a surprising amount of agility and athleticism.
One of the most distinguishing features of Italian Greyhounds is their short and fine coat. This makes them an ideal choice for people who prefer low-maintenance pets. Their coat comes in a variety of colors, including black, blue, fawn, red, and white. Although they have a thin coat, Italian Greyhounds are sensitive to cold weather and should be provided with appropriate protection during chilly seasons.
Italian Greyhounds are known for their affectionate and gentle nature, making them wonderful companions for families and individuals alike. They are loyal and bond closely with their owners, often becoming quite attached. These dogs thrive on human companionship and do not do well when left alone for long periods of time. Regular exercise, such as brisk walks or playtime in a securely fenced area, is important to keep them physically and mentally stimulated.
While Italian Greyhounds are generally good-natured, they can be reserved around strangers. Proper socialization from an early age can help them develop into well-rounded dogs that are comfortable in various situations. They also get along well with other dogs and pets, although supervision is necessary to ensure their safety due to their delicate structure.
In terms of health, Italian Greyhounds are generally a relatively healthy breed. However, like all dogs, they can be prone to certain conditions such as dental issues, patellar luxation, and progressive retinal atrophy. Regular veterinary check-ups and a balanced diet are essential to ensure their overall well-being.
In conclusion,Italian Greyhounds are a delightful breed that brings joy and elegance to any home. With their loving nature and beautiful appearance, they make wonderful companions for individuals and families alike. If you are looking for a small, affectionate, and athletic dog, the Italian Greyhound may be the perfect match for you.

Love Senior's started airing!!
So here I am, once again, with my usual language observations. Note: I'm going off the YT subs and shall use whatever name romanizations they use there!
Disclaimer: not a native Thai speaker, still learning 🙏
Manaow's older brother Faung's nickname for her because Siblings™
Faung เฟือง /Feuuang/ is shortened from มะเฟือง /Ma Feuuang/ = star fruit
Manaow มะนาว /Ma Nao/ = lime
( ไอ้)หมาเน่า /(ai) maa nao/ = (You) rotten dog -> as you can see from my basic-ass pronunciation guide, it sounds close to her actual name -> หมาหัวเน่า /maa huaa nao/, lit. rotten-headed dog, is an idiomatic expression for an outcast, someone who's disliked and has no friends - lol thanks P'Faung!
Gyoza's red Vespa
it's called (เจ้า)หมูแดง /(jao) moo daaeng/
เจ้า /jao/ = used affectionately as a prefix by seniors for children or juniors, as well as by owners for pets
หมูแดง /moo daaeng/ = lit. red pork; grilled marinated pork dish of Chinese origin
What to call each other
จริง ๆ ตอนเราอยู่กันสองคน นาวไม่ต้องเรียกเกี๊ยวว่าพี่ก็ได้นะ /jing jing dtaawn rao yoo gan saawng khon, Nao mai dtawng riiak Giao waa Phi gor dai na/
Gyoza, who's been calling herself พี่ /Phi/ and who Manaow has been referring to as พี่เกี๊ยว /Phi Giao/ (because she's a senior a year ahead of her), suggests that when it's just the two of them, Nao doesn't have to call her พี่ /Phi/, and starts referring to herself just by name, เกี๊ยว /Giao/ (her full name Gyoza is เกี๊ยวซ่า /Giao Saa/).
Manaow: งั้นเกี๊ยวเกิดเดือนไรอ่ะ /ngan Giao geert deuuan rai a/
So Manaow drops the พี่ /Phi/ right away and starts calling her เกี๊ยว /Giao/.
And just for completeness's sake: Manaow also refers to herself by name (นาว /Nao/) and Gyoza does so reciprocally (mostly นาว /Nao/ and sometimes มะนาว /Ma Nao/). So no pronouns, just names!
จีบ /jeep/ = pursue, court, flirt with (Funnily enough, a homonym of เกี๊ยว /Giao/, which means dumpling, is เกี้ยว /giao/, which also means to flirt, woo, etc. - I'll be waiting for this pun in a future episode lol)
Gyoza's reasoning for asking is that Manaow seems ห้าว ๆ เกินหญิง /haao haao geern ying/ = bold/daring/fierce for a woman
Kudos to Lada shamelessly flirting with Alee and calling him หนู /noo/ (= lit. mouse)!!
เดี๋ยวพี่เลี้ยงหนูนะ /diao Phi liiang Noo na/
As a 2nd person pronoun it's usually used by someone much older to affectionately refer to a child or someone younger, implying that the person referred to is cute and smol like a mouse, basically. In the same vein it can sound patronizing too, though, especially coming from a stranger or someone who isn't much older.
They're the inverse of the shy younger girl and flirty pursuing older guy trope and I love that!
Sulking~
หายงอนแล้วใช่ไหม /haai ngaawn laaeo chai mai/ = You're not sulking anymore, right?
Just in case any potential reader has never seen a Thai series before this GL: 'Ngon' and 'Ngor', as they're often romanized, are a set of behaviors that are common in close relationships. That can be familial or between friends too but it's certainly most common in a romantic context and as a romance trope.
งอน /ngawn/ = sulking, pouting, acting displeased, huffy, slighted, petulant; can be playful or serious
ง้อ /ngaaw/ = reconcile, make up with; this can be lots of things tbh, i.e. hugging, apologizing, giving sth. to show care like Manaow does here, etc.
Flirty Puns, my beloved!
กินเกี๊ยวไหม /gin giao mai/ = Wanna eat the dumpling?
GIN GIAO MAI DJSDHSDJDSH okay now that that's out of my system- As we've established, Gyoza refers to herself as เกี๊ยว /Giao/, which means dumpling. And กิน /gin/ means consume, take, exploit, it's mostly used with food and drink though, hence it generally being translated as 'eat'. So:
กินเกี๊ยวไหม /gin Giao mai/ = Wanna eat me?
Sidenote: this specific dumpling here is เกี๊ยวทอด /giao thaawt/ = fried wonton/dumpling
#love senior the series#love senior#พี่ว้ากคะ รักหนูได้มั้ย#thai gl#local woman harps on about linguistics#this show is so fun and tropey! and it's in such high quality resolution!! ... i'm totally not side-eyeing gmmtv here or anything ehem#local woman harps on about love senior
