tried scanning some of my pokemon cards as an experiment, it didn't work out so good bc the scanner really doesn't like the holo at all (as you can esp see on the shaymin card lol) but it was kind of cool to look at

Ok, so, i did smth super cool!
I was thinking about Totsuka's family configuration and then after a few drafts I came up with this!
Tumblr media
ID: An infographic showing a family hierarchy. At the top, is written "Harubi". Then the hierarchy descends one level to eight more names: Kayoko, Shishio, Yuno, Suika, Umime, Natsuka, Morihara and Aoma.
At the lowest line, are more twelve names, each connected to a name above: Akito and Fuyuto, connected to Kayoko; Haruyo, Yumiko, Suiko and Fuuto, connected to Shishio; Shione and Akane connected to Suika; Sanrio, connected to Umime; Yume, connected to Natsuka; Mayoi, connected to Morihara; and Honoo and Totsuka connected to Aoma.
Below it all is a little guide with four colors. The yellow meaning "patriarca", the orange meaning "esposa", the pink meaning "concubinas" and the blue meaning "filhos". The top name of the family is painted yellow; the whole second layer painted pink, except from Kayoko, who is orange, and the last layer is painted blue.
At the top corner is written, very tiny, "Os 秋田原 —Akitahara". /end ID.
[Patriarca - (man) chief of the family
Esposa - wife
Concubinas - concubines
Fulhos - children]
(Sorry for the lenghty description lmao)
Anyway, as you can see, Totsuka's family (the Akitahara) are pretty big. Her father is named Harubi, and her mother, Aoma. Aside from her, Harubi also has other six concubines and a wife, having twelve children including Totsuka. Harubi Akitahara is a big name in the fictional country they are from which I am still deciding the name, and he is kind of like a vice-emperor or something.
So Totsuka is sort of a princess, but not like she is in the heirship line, anyway. Well, she basically is, but she is literally the twelveth in the line so not something very realistic to wish for.
The first heir would be her older brother, Akito, the first son of her father's proper wife, followed by her other son, Fuyuto, and then followed by all the concubine's children by order of birth, which Totsuka falls in the end of, lmao.
Choosing everybody's names was very fun, and I might only change "Suiko" (third line, below Shishio) later on.
I also have an alt version under the cut :)
Tumblr media
[ID: The same image as above, but now all the character's names are written in kanji, reading as following:
春美 on the top; 佳代子, 四塩, 右望, すいか, 海目, 夏塚, 森原 and 青間 on the middle; and 秋人, 冬人, 春夜, 美由子, 水子, 風人, 塩音, 赤音, 三凛, 夢, 間宵, 炎 and 戸塚 on the last line. /end ID.]
Disclaimer: some are written wrong and some names may not even have the right sound :) apologies to japanese people lmao XD i did my best. It's very fun to try and learn new words

So I cheated a little and used the databases for the college I work for, which not everybody on the open Internet has access to. Sorry. But! I found these sources aggregated in Credo: (behind the cut because there’s a few pictures and it’ll take up space on your dash):
Tumblr media
So one source (Word Origins by John Ayto) saying it was brought to English by a particular expedition, and noting that it could be related to calling a person a shark for unsavory activities. This source is unsure and it is worth noting that oftentimes words of different origins but similar sounds and meanings begin to be blurred together in idiomatic phrases (I lack the proper academic background in linguistics to know the appropriate terminology, sorry again).
Tumblr media
This slang dictionary (Rawson’s Wicked Words by Hugh Rawson) says the same thing but thinks calling a person a shark came about as a result of the name of the fish gaining currency.
Tumblr media
The Chambers Dictionary only notes that the origin is obscure but also adds to the list of possible loanwords with selections from French, Latin, and Greek, so not just the Germanic languages are involved now.
This site, however, on Native American languages and stories, says it comes from the Maya language (which would have been absorbed or assimilated into the Aztec because the Aztec empire conquered the Maya and the Maya had been paying tributes/taxes to the Aztecs for, IIRC, a few centuries before Cortez and his conquistadors showed up [I’m trying to remember a class I took in undergrad about the Maya, but this was a long time ago, sorry a third time]). This site doesn’t give citations for that origin, but the page is apparently run by people who seem to have authority on the subject. So the TL;DR is: who the heck knows? There’s an argument to be made that the word comes from a Native American language and it does appear to show up in English only after Europeans had contact with the "New World" (it wasn’t new, it was already teeming with people and complex societies and the Europeans had only just realized it was there so it was just new to them, ect., ect..). That said, there are several possibilities within languages of the European continent, and as for which came first, the fish or the slang term, no one knows, man, they could have melded together, one could have come from the other, we don’t know. The key thing is, I had fun looking into this.
Tumblr media
You might have thought card sharks and loan sharks were named after the predatory fish, but apparently there’s a decent chance it’s the other way around from an old Dutch word meaning “person that takes unfair advantage of other people”. Before that they were known in English as a haye or dogfish, which means sometime in the ~1400s enough English sailors started saying “don’t get in the water, it’s infested with those jerks”
