The many Anagrams of Radagon

Because I found an anagram generator and felt like applying a little confirmation bias to the results, for fun:

"Adan Gor" - Adan, Thief of Fire is a character in Elden Ring. "Gor" is a dialectical oath variant of "god", with well known uses including Moby Dick ("And, by Gor, none of you has de right to dat whale"). Gor is also Old English meaning "dung". Seems like Adan and Dungeater worship the same sun god.

"a dog ran" "a god ran" - the dog part is self explanatory as Radagon is described as a leal hound and here we see that Radagon was a dog god who fled.

"rand oga" - "rand" and "oga" are both Old English/proto-Germanic meaning altogether "on the edge of terror". As blacksmith Hewg says of Marika (who is Radagon): "The sheer terror of her…". In the deep FromSoft history, there was once a minor miner NPC character in King's Field (1994) called "Rand Ferrer" whose name means "on the edge of a blacksmith".

"A Dragon" - I think that the Elden Beast is a fine example of a sparkle dragon. The dragon is also a symbol of the never-ending cycle of alchemy, as both prime materia and the end product. The dragon is endlessly splitting into brother and sister parts and recombining into the divine hermaphrodite - so says Carl Jung in CW12 "Psychology and Alchemy". And the connection that I make personally is that the red-haired Rand al'Thor as the 'Dragon Reborn' is the main character of the Wheel of Time books (1990-2013). See above usage of 'Rand Ferrer''.

"naga d'or" - "naga" is Hindu meaning "a member of a race of spirits recognized in Hinduism and Buddhism that have mingled superhuman and serpent qualities, are genii of waters and rain, and live in a subaqueous kingdom", and "d'or" is French meaning "of gold". Elden Beast seems to exist in a plane of endless water and is a creature of the Golden Elden Ring.

"Ra Dagon" - "Ra" Egyptian god of the sun and "Dagon" the principal deity of the ancient Middle Euphrates region. Also the Lovecraftian Dagon fish god thing.

"Ra Gonad" - Ra is god of all of the sky (and earth and underworld), not just the sun. Venus was born of the testicles of Uranus - god of the sky - thrown into the sea. The second phase of Malenia's fight is styled as an allusion to Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus". So technically this one can work with Radagon as a link between his own father the old god of the sky and/or sun and his daughter Malenia.

"Agro DNA" - from the slang term "agro" meaning "aggressive". Perhaps that Radagon has an aggressive nature in his genes. He is something of a Beast.

"Argo DNA" - Argo was the ship sailed by Jason to find the Golden Fleece. Note the golden sheep in the Altus Plateau area of Elden Ring. It is also the name of a gigantic constellation that was split into three parts in the modern day - thus Radagon's lineage is found in the stars. Afterall "It is said that long ago, the Greater Will sent a golden star bearing a beast into the Lands Between, which would later become the Elden Ring".

"Ag Ra don" "Ag adorn" - "Ag" is chemical short form for Silver, so "Ra dressed in silver", I suppose. More alchemy stuff. One must recall that "Radagon" seems not to have been needed as an entity until going to Liurnia to confront a house of the moon (traditionally associated with silver). Also "Ag" derives from the French "Argent" and another major use of French that I've noted is in the name of "Seluvis" forming "se lu vis" meaning (probably with broken grammar) "To read one's own face".

"Argon AD" - "In the Year of our Lord, 18" - Argon was isolated in 1894 by William Ramsay ("Will I Am, Ram Say" - see Golden fleece above). It is element 18 on the periodic table and has a lavender/violet glow when placed in an electrical field. Notable event in the year 18: "Winter – Germanicus Caesar arrives in Syria, as new commander-in-chief for the Roman East."

"ad argon" - "Ad" is a Latin modifier as in the case of "ad absurdum" or "to the point of absurdity" and etc (much like this post!). "Argon" is a Greek word meaning "lazy" or "inactive". Overall perhaps stretches to "to the point of stagnation"

Edit: found another one. "D Aragon" which could be spun into character 'D, Hunter of Death' based on 'Dominican Nicholas Eymericus', who was the Inquisitor General of Aragon and in 1376 associated Alchemists with Magicians "because they cannot possibly achieve their aims without the assistance of demons".

#Elden Ring #linguistics #elden ring lore #Learning about the periodic table of the elements is one of my new favourite things #Also I just searched up “dog” and “god” out of curiosity and I'm side-eying Xolotl really hard now #Dog with sword in mouth where have I seen that before in a dog associated with Radagon

Show Me Your Metal (5)

Fe                    ferrum was the Latin for iron, which also survives in the scientific term ‘ferrous’ meaning ‘containing iron.’ ferrum was also a word for sword, referencing the metal from which they were made. I hope that has IRONed out any confusion. ENOUGH!

Back on my bullshit--

Random thoughts-

- The reason I give Alien!Cody a somewhat "dead" looking skin tone is because he has green blood- at least, that's what I picked up from the Area-52 episode.

The color of your blood is going to affect your skin color. You can tell when your blood hasn't gotten enough oxygen cause it gives your skin a sort-of bluish discoloration.

I do wonder...what sort of atmosphere his home planet would have. Or what metals and chemicals make up his blood. Human blood has iron in it, which is why it turns red. What kind of metals turn green? Copper? And what would make it glow? Has it always glowed, or did it gain its glow from whatever experiments Area 52 did on him? Was he exposed to radiation?

- Bro, what if I fuck shit up and just destroy his home planet--- pffft, nah. But there's no doubt in my mind that the idea absolutely bothers him. We don't know how long he was in that warehouse.

Cody: So uh...what'll you do once you get home?

Clone: If I get home, you mean?

Cody: Sure, let's be pessimistic about it.

Clone: Not pessimistic. Realistic. How do I know I even have a home to go to?

Cody: You don't. The logical conclusion would be to not make up answers for questions you don't know the answer to...right?

Clone: Tch...humans are anything but logical.

Cody: *sigh* Won't argue with you there.

Clone: But no...you're not wrong.

#total drama #total drama island #tdi #total drama world tour #tdwt #total drama cody #tdi cody #random thoughts #if this concept is gonna be a thing #I gotta do some world building #and Clone!Cody would be the only avenue by which we could learn about his home planet #I'm still not entirely sure what his true form would've look like #also I know brass and bronze turn green when they oxidize #but they're both copper alloys so #they don't count #copper and iron are both pure metals #they're on the periodic table #brass and bronze are not

ok y'know what I take back the statement that latin was useless and didn't teach me anything because it taught me about grammar structures. of course we learned about those in german too but all the different verb forms were more relevant to know about in latin. just knowing what all the grammar things are called is useful when you're learning another language and trying to figure out a certain thing which duolingo won't tell you because using formal grammar words is apparently too complicated

#google show me the indicative form of this verb. show me the conjugation tables #meanwhile duolingo has just decided to introduce plural forms of verbs. IN UNIT FIFTEEN #i feel like this would have been useful to learn about beforehand. but sure. okay. whatever #(latin is also coming in useful here because. well. romance language) #idk man. duolingo is great i've learned a lot over a pretty short time period #the spanish course is so much better than my previous experiences (french was good. japanese was pretty mediocre. etc) #but man i wish they had an option for like. actual grammar rules somewhere. like you'd have in a schoolbook #actually. maybe i can ask about getting a spanish textbook from school next week. it's not like anyone will ever need them again #(hashtag just G8 things) #where was i going with this post? i'm not sure anymore i just wanted to blog about grammar rules i guess #echo.txt #languageblogging

I just misread a post as

“just because I came prepared it doesn’t mean I know what I’m doing”

And I actually like that better than the original

EHEHEHEHEHE, I HAVE A VIOLIN NOW. ONCE I RELEARN HOW TO PLAY THIS THING IT’LL BE OVER FOR EVERYONE.

#personal #your lives end in [insert period of time it takes for me to readjust to violin] #y’all have the benefit of me originally learning left handed #now i’m relearning it right handed #hopefully this will help scratch my musical itch now that uhhhh singing is off the table #and as much as i love my keyboard #any person who is capable of playing piano is an eldritch horror #a power i cannot possibly tame #too much for me to mentally contain #but good for hearing notes

The reason periodic table element abbreviations aren't the same is usually because latin. So for example we have

Tungsten (W) - Wolfram

Antimony (Sb) - Stibium

Tin (Sn) - Stannum

Mercury (Hg) - Hydrargyrum (see if you can figure out what that means)

Lead (Pb) - Plumbum (same root as plumbing)

Sodium (Na) - Natrium

Potassium (K) - Kalium

Copper (Cu) - Cuprum (yeah it's close but still)

Silver (Ag) - Argentum

Gold (Au) - Aurum

The more I use rockbox on my tiny fiio m3k and find all the features that have been crammed into it over the years the more i think we should start praising it for the miracle it is

SHOW ME YOUR METAL! (6)

Antimony (Sb): ‘There’s antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium…’, (okay, I love The Elements Song from legendary Tom Lehrer). But apart from the distinction of opening Lehrer’s witty little ditty, it was a metal known to our ancient friend, Pliny the Elder. This metal’s symbol from almost the opposite end of the alphabet comes from the Latin stibium, from the Greek στίβι or στίμμι. Pliny (XXIX.38) describes it as a good remedy for watery eyes when mixed with Attic honey and the fat of a field mouse. Nice! He also talks about the metal at XXXIII.33-5, where he discusses its use to cure various ailments, but also as eyeshadow. Yeah, that’s going to do your sight so much good! So, he was no doctor, but he has preserved the remarkable depth of the ancients’ knowledge of the world around them.
