Yandere: "is that your family?" S/O: "nope, nah-uh, nada. I've never seen those people in my life"
Years of hard data say you're lying, but they're not about to incriminate themselves by revealing so: Huey Duck, Hunter | Golden Guard, Aziraphale, Sheldon J Plankton, Doctor Nefarious, Tenth Doctor, Shang Tsung, Dr Flug, Perry the Platypus, Midoriya Izuku
Suspects the lie but rolls with it: Ian Malcolm, Louie Duck, Anthony J.

Alternative interpretation is equally funny—the yandere is pointing out random groups of people and slowly narrowing down their choices.

Gideon the Ninth Reaction - Epilogue
oh poor poor Harrow, she’s gotten everything she wanted at the beginning - to become a Lyctor, the Ninth’s future guaranteed - but now its come at the cost of one of the only people she really cared about
what am I gonna do without Gideon’s internal monologue and bad puns this doesn’t feel right 😢
i genuinely don’t know how Harrow’s gonna live with herself after this. it’s obviously not her fault, but wow is she guilt spiralling like hell
‘But you’re God’ Harrow he’s a white brunette man he’s not all that
‘She was the very best of us’ i do feel like you can still see this in Gideon’s interactions with Cytherea, especially in chapter 20. she was kind to Gideon to some degree, even if most of her persona was a front 
no kidding i can imagine that all the Houses are gonna be very concerned about what the hell went down
no Gideon’s body … or Camilla or Coronabeth hmmm. Suspicious. i’m not convinced he’s telling the truth here
the Emperor is honestly a lot more understanding and more overall normal than i was expecting (bar the rainbow oil slick eyes obvs). that being said, i still don’t trust the dude 
i really enjoy ‘chosen one’ characters who feel like they have to/do sacrifice themselves for the world (Aang & Korra, Earendil, Kendal from the Aurora webcomic, Adora), as well as inversions/subversions of that trope (e.g., Emperor Belos from The Owl House who's convinced he’s a saviour when he’s not), so i’m very interested to see where the character of the Emperor goes
all i can really say at the end of this book is that i have not been this emotionally devastated by a piece of media in a long time. gonna have a followup post shortly about my final thoughts on everything

how do you keep names within a single culture sounding phonetically consistent? its something ive been struggling with a lot but you seem to be doing really well at it
I am?? That's a relief!
I guess the rule of thumb I use is considering which phonemes tend to show up in which languages/dialects and grouping similar ones into related names. Like if we take Greek heroes as an example, we could formulate a list of some good ones - Heracles, Perseus, Theseus, Achilles, Patroclus, Menelaus, Alexandros - and recognize some patterns. This space of characters features lots of three-syllable names where the final syllable sounds like "-eez" or "-us". There's also semi-frequent use of the "-kl-" phoneme in the middle of the names, and they tend to favor "-e-" and "-a-" vowel sounds outside of the final syllable. If we wanted to make names that sounded like they belonged in this space, we could start by drawing on these patterns.
Actually Greek is a good starting example, because it's responsible for a lot of English's reflexive assumptions about naming conventions. Female names like Clytemnestra, Atalanta, Sophia, Hippolyta, etc all end in "-a" because "-α" is a common feminine noun ender in Greek, in contrast to the masculine "-ος". Hebrew names like Sarah, Ariella, Ayla, Daniella, Devorah, etc do the same thing, some even being feminine versions of masculine names like David or Daniel, altered by adding an "-a" sound to the end. I don't know enough about linguistics to know if this is a coincidence or a common ancestry thing, but I think this is a large part of why we trend towards considering names that end in "-a" as more feminine.
Different languages have different common phonemes. The sound "-tsu-" is quite common in Japanese but is very rarely found in English or the romance languages. Slavic names often end in "-ov" or "-ovitz". Many Spanish surnames end with "-ez". Lots of cultures commonly feature family name components that mean "son of" like "fitz-", "mac-", "ben-" or (obviously) "-son".
And even within single groups, different phoneme patterns can be tied in with different things. A lot of Jewish family names started off as "ornamental surnames" adopted by families when the government demanded they stop with that inconvenient "son of-" or "daughter of-" tradition, and are thus constructed from simple German nouns of whatever was within line of sight at the time, like "Rosenbaum" (rose tree), "Goldstein" (gold rock), "Bloomenfeld" (flower field), "Hirsch" (deer), etc. Thus, the phoneme patterns of a lot of Jewish surnames draw on German origins and have very little in common with the phonemen patterns of Jewish first names like Sarah, Deborah, Noah, Elizabeth, Esther, Caleb, Nathaniel, Jacob, Gideon, etc.
If you're working entirely in a fantasy culture, rather than drawing on outside patterns you can just start your own. Most of my character names favor "-a-" and "-e-" vowel sounds, which helps them sound similar to one another. I also use "-l-" sounds more than other consonants, and as a result, Falst, Alinua and Kendal all kind of sounds like they belong in the same space. Erin and Tess, meanwhile, have the same short "-e-" sound in their names with none of that familiar "-a-" present, and Dainix - the most geographically and culturally far-flung - has two sounds not present in anyone else's names, an "-ay-" vowel sound and an "-ix" ender. What little we've seen of Ignan culture and naming conventions has other uses of the "-x-" consonant, mostly "ainox", which kind of helps make that seem like a unifying factor. To make sure things sound coherent when we deal with more Ignans, I might use those unique sounds more often, naming other ignans things like Rase or Lainn or Onix to produce a coherent *vibe*.
Personally as a strict no-conlanger I don't worldbuild the underlying logic behind these patterns, but frankly I don't think you need to. Just roll the sounds around in your head, pick out the patterns you want to explore, google them once to make sure you haven't accidentally recreated an obscure eastern european slur, and have a good time.

im still voting tridentarii in my heart. the better blond twins the superior supernatural siblings the elevated emotional abuse. i don't know what happens in homestuck but they're not an ugly cartoon so they have that too. the viagra thing cannot compare to how every corpse ianthe is controlling shudders together in unison when coronabeth touches her but then she immediately pivots to bitching about how coronabeth has let herself go and needs a better hair care routine. seriously it blends the gothic soulless rich people incest vibes with the deranged sword and sorcery incest vibes so well, and none of u heathens can touch it. plus when ianthe fucks a girl there are no myrrish swamps or whatever that was involved. and when she's too controlling sister puts a gun in her mouth and threatens to kill herself "like she did when they were children" kendall could never!!! never.
Sorry there are guns in gideon the ninth I thought it was like wizards and shit
