intercal portmanteau guide

Sometimes you see me say "interpal" or "drinkycal". These are portmanteaus of my online handle. There's an art to creating the perfect "intercal" portmanteau and here are some guidelines to that so it flows naturally.

If the word you want to incorporate is one syllable, then replace the "cal" part. interfun, intergames, intersad.

If the word you want to incorporate is two syllables, then replace the "inter" part. happycal, sillycal, lazycal.

If the word you want to incorporate is three or more syllables - don't. If you need to, generally replace the "inter" part. introspectivecal, hibernationcal, attackdogcal. These are not as good. Sorry.

If you need to refer to intercal using only two syllables, use "inty".

If you need to refer to intercal using only one syllable, use "'cal" (leading apostrophe).

There are probably more. But these are the basics.

Okay wait so Transformers has ended the Red/Blue Frenzy/Rumble by making them one character in EarthSpark and making that version of Frenzy a Purple female character.

Some dorks are apparently pissed off at the genderswap? I'm pissed off that they didn't combine the names and call her "Fumble"

Dear shippers of the Chainsaw Man fandom,

It has come to my attention that some of you are calling the Denji/Asa Mitaka ship "Denjasa" and some are calling it "Asaden". [EDIT: I have been informed that "Denasa" is also a thing.] This is, in all honesty, not much of a problem...but it is inconsistent in a way that I find irritating. It also splits shipping stuff between two tags, which seems inconvenient for people who actively search for shipping content (and not just weirdos like me who dislike inconsistency on principle).

So...um...do something. I don't know. Talk with people who use the opposite portmanteau? Find some kind of consensus? Maybe just check the other tag sometimes?

[EDIT: Someone suggested Warsaw. Let's all use that.]

Windy Rewatch: 1x01

I'm still amazed at how they can fit so much story into one episode.

There are so many things that Hit Different after having seen every episode and knowing everything we know now, even beyond Tom and Abby's interactions.

Everything between Liam and Abby. Knowing that they weren't married for that long before packing up their lives and moving out West. Wondering if the scandal from Liam's last case was caused by the Davidsons. Knowing that Liam was keeping a major secret from Abby.

Witnessing Liam's death after knowing the whole story

The fact that Abby introduces herself as Abigail to Calian, a person she has no real reason to keep secrets from.

Hoyt's reaction to Salty Dog betting the gun from the Alamo. I mean we already knew he lost his father in that war before we got to that episode but still :(

Abby and Tom meeting for the first time. Abby being thrown completely off kilter because she's seen him before and Tom being cool as a cucumber. He KNOWS who she is! And has evil intentions with that information! Just thinking about the roller coaster that's coming for these to is just *chef's kiss*

Everything about Lucia and Hoyt and feeling cheated by the writers because they keep driving them apart :(

The way Kai says "sometimes you just know when you need a fresh start"

And they way he's so eagerly nice to her! He's so polite and kind, without any gain for him. He just sees another wayward soul and he wants to HELP.

Kate! Is! Not! Subtle!

For real though Kate and Abby's interactions in this episode are so interesting because Kate is obviously probing for information and Abby recognizes that and calls her out on it. And they don't know each other and they don't trust each other but they fall into comfortable banter so quickly like!!! Game recognizes Game indeed.

Hagan throwing Tom a huge party despite disliking him and his aunt for trying to run him out of his own business. "I threw you a party get the fuck off my back now please"

Abby came so close to getting carted off to an asylum in this episode. Idc if there was a party going on. Someone had to have seen her pointing her gun right at the new sheriff. Thank goodness Hoyt stepped in when he did.

Calian going out of his way to help Abby despite the risk to him makes so much more sense now that we know why. He believes Nascha led him to her, that he needed to help her. Just- I love them your honor

There's a million other details I could gush about but these are the ones that stick out to me.

word of the week: Portmanteau

the word of this week is one of those that most people on fandom tumblr use with frequency, but since the term itself has morphed, you might not know it.

So, let's learn!

Portmanteau

Noun, from the French: Porter (v., to carry) + Manteau (n, mantle) - with its origins in the mid 16th century.

1)  a large trunk or suitcase, typically made of stiff leather and opening into two equal parts, either as a trunk (below) or in smaller bag format - the distinction being the two equal sides. Some hard-shell suitcases that open down the middle are technically portmanteaus.

Do you have any idea how hard it was to find a picture on the internet of this thing

and also:

2) a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others, such as:

brunch (breakfast + lunch)

motel (motor + hotel)

spork (spoon + fork)

podcast (iPod + broadcast)

cosplay (costume + roleplay)

Etc.

Portmanteaus exist in every language*, as there is nothing humans love more than making up new words to describe things. Wikipedia has some examples.

*Probably, haven’t done a comprehensive review of all human languages, but I'm going on odds of humans being human

And here is where the fandom connection really kicks into overdrive:

Ship names

some examples:

Sculder: Scully/Mulder from X-Files

Sterek: Stiles/Derek from Teen Wolf

Every possible pairing in the Untamed (WangXian, XiYao, NieLan)

Destiel: Dean/Castiel from Supernatural

McShep: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard from Stargate Atlantis

SwanQueen: Emma/Regina from Once Upon a Time

and then the MCU with their Stucky and Stony and Clintasha and WinterFalcon and Pepperony and FrostIron ETCETERA

There are some portmanteaus in the original Star Trek, but i'm one of the fans that prefer not to use Spirk.

Seriously, they're everywhere, and TV Tropes has gone to town in detailing them all:

The portmanteau as couple name

In film

In TV

So now you know!

Tell me about your favourite portmanteau in the replies.

Until next week,

The fact this whole sentence exists

“The #bulliam hashtag in the post is a portmanteau of "bully" and "William" and it's popular with the Sussex Squad, a largely US-based pro-Prince Harry and Meghan Markle fandom that, due to passages from Harry's memoir Spare, tend to believe Prince William is abusive.”
