Can I get some Pl*gue (a) D*ctor (o) themed names?

(Also sorry if I did the trigger things wrong.)

ohh yeah!! and dw, i usually censor things with / instead of * to make it a bit easier for screen readers but * still works fine!

I propose to you, the core four being poly but Tim is the last person to realise.

Dick, visiting Tim at the tower: Hey buddy! You got something you wanna tell me? Tim, laying on the couch with his head in Kon's lap as he reads case files: No, why?

Wally:

Tim:

Wally: Why did my Uncle's Grandson just kiss you goodnight?

Tim: Don't shame him, he's adjusting to being in the past.

Diana: When did you and Cassie get together?

Tim, ever oblivious: Like, three years ago. You were there when we formed Young Just Us, weren't you?

Tim, venting to Stephanie: And like, that year was so hard because two of my best friends died! Weirdly enough, their deaths were way harder than like, anyone else's. I mean, I tried to clone Kon for some reason! Stephanie: God, I can't believe we ever dated, you're so stupid.

Damian: Drake, I have been informed that it is customary to wish queer people a happy pride month.

Tim: I mean, yeah. Why you telling me though?

Damian: In order to repair our relationship, I did some research and according to Father, you are bisexual and polyamorous. Therefor, I wish you a happy pride.

Damian: Drake? Why does your face look more ugly than usual?

Tim, reevaluating his entire life: OH MY GOD-

#tim drake #tim drake is a little stupid sometimes but we love him anyways #core four #young just us #conner kent #kon el kent #am i supposed to call him conner or kon?? #i hate when people call me by the english version of MY name so i'll call him kon #cassie sandsmark #bart allen #bartholomew allen #BARTHOLOMEW LMAO HOW YOU FROM THE FUTURE WITH SUCH AN OLD ASS NAME #they're all gay #in some way or another #they're so silly

“Why doesn’t Toshiro just tell Laios that’s not his name??” He’s an immigrant, next question

#i have not met a single person who doesn’t mispronounce my name except my old arabic teachers in school #which is a shame because it’s really pretty in arabic #and instead people say it with that fucking long aa sound that I fucking hate #but i’m not going to sit down and teach every person i ever talk to how to properly say it #sometimes they can’t even say it because certain sounds aren’t in english #of course it’s not a complete butcher like shuro #but free my man i understand him so much #toshiro nakamoto #dunmeshi #dungeon meshi #ryoko kui

I think we should all stop arguing about the pronunciation of 'gaoler' and turn our attention to 'maren' which staff has gone on record saying is pronounced fucking MAY-ren. actual crime against humanity

#can't find the actual post but I'm so mad about that one #that one's not even a real word so they can't old-english their way out of this one #(well. it is a name. and it is not pronounced mayren)

> Mechs are named after greek monsters > Manufacturer named after a egyptian god

make it make sense

sorry do you think the goblin is a greek monster

#breaking character in the tags: you are right about the absence of non-european mythology! #you'd think they'd have named a pattern group after the sphinx at least by now #unfortunately this blog is run by a pedant who has spent more time on etymonline than he'll ever publicly admit to #so yeah half of the official horus frames are greek in origin that's true #but balors are irish and goblins are norse/french #kobolds are german (and also related to goblins) #and lich is just straight up an old english word for corpse that didn't specifically mean reanimated corpse until the 20th century #lancerrpg #lancer rpg #lancer ttrpg

Not me creeping up to the wordcount of the fourth longest book ever written

#A Reflection of Starlight #AROS #valvert #fanfic #writing #Hey I switched back to LibreOffice again after setting up my new computer #(RIP my old computer's installation of MS Office 2009) #And also my old computer in general as it is now giving me the blue screen of death upon boot #but ANYWAY #does anybody know how to make LibreOffice stop highlighting formatted areas? BC with Dark Mode it's highlighting white text #which makes it impossible to read my footnote and page numbers #Also I CANNOT believe this program was coded to be so that 'Ignore' and 'Ignore All' options only do so for the CURRENT SESSION ONLY #Like what in god's name??? #I spent 3-4 hours reformatting AROS after converting it only to learn that all the 'errors' I told it to ignore just popped back #the second I reopened the document like jesus christ #Why even offer those options if it doesn't do it permanently for that document file #HHHHHHHhhhhhhHHHHHH #I then spent another several hours being forced to change the language formatting to French for all the French bits #JUST so it would stop underlining all of them in red #And there's no way for me to get rid of the underlining on things like cut off bits of dialogue #bc they are NOT proper words and I refuse to add them to my Dictionary (thus polluting it) just to get rid of them #Ugh #So anyway remember years ago how I joked about what if I accidentally wrote a fanfic longer than the source material itself #That being one of the longest books ever written (technically THE longest book ever written #if we're counting the FRENCH version of it and not the English translation #And yeah I know I technically split AROS into 3 books but that was only for reader convenience #It's still one book in my heart #And also because I think it would be REALLY funny to surpass Hugo's wordcount #Which is entirely plausible bc in English it was only about 531k so I only a little over 100k off and I think I can easily make that #with the material I have left to write but is already mostly plotted out

What is cue the sun? 👀

I need you to know I am kissing you on the mouth rn (platonically) -- I've been rotating this plot in the microwave since like. mid-august.

It's transcendence au (obvi) but here's the basic hook:

The year is 7098. The last Mizar (Fang Wu -- and shoutout to aba_daba_do for making a kickass OC) has been dead for four years now, and Alcor has been MIA for about the same amount of time. In their absence, the North American continent has broken out into a full-on, cross-continental war, with the main players being the Greater Austinian Monopoly (formerly known as Texas) and the Alaskadian Collective (Alaska, plus some parts of Canada and north-eastern Russia).

In a last-ditch effort to find some long-forgotten piece of magical information that could win the war, Alaskadian scientist Fatima Tursynbekova (an r!Ford) is sent to the abandoned site of what used to be Gravity Falls, accompanied by her troubled teenage daughter Olya (an r!Gideon). They're expecting to find little more than scant remnants of a town that was razed to the ground over thirty years before -- not much better than an archaeological expedition if anything.

However, what they find instead is a thriving small town -- the inhabitants of which are all completely and utterly convinced that it's the year 2016 (feat. the OG Mystery Twins and an extremely sus Stan Pines).

Anyways blah blah blah romance, secrecy, interpersonal drama but COME LOOK AT THE MAP I MADE I spent entirely too much time on it and I've been dying to share:

(Plus better quality image link for if tumblr steals all my pixels)

#this-is-gnomes-writing-tag #transcendence au #beloved mutuals #asks #cue the sun #if i mention a long fic this is what i'm talking about #unfortunately haven't had as much time to work on it now that the semester's started but trust me it still lives in my head rent free #anyway Tranzian as a language is something I stole from one of Gauvain's old fics because I was like 'that's so silly and meta i love it' #also pls don't look too hard at the translated city names i only speak english and russian i tried my best with what i had okay #yes Palo Rojo was just me renaming Baton Rouge to be less french bc I thought it would be funny #might go in there and make edits to stuff as i make changes to the worldbuilding but for now this is it!! #the only difference between ontarian french and regular canadian french is that the adjectives go before the nouns btw #this was definitely a conscious decision and not just something i made up on the fly after a translation error

Arthur and anglo saxon poetry fucks me up. We call it the Dark Ages because of a dearth of sources, but we have a melancholy poem describing the ruins of Aqua Sulis, or Bath, in the centuries after the Roman Collapse. I might make this into a fic someday, but Arthur is only a boy half-grown and roaming through the anglo-saxon heptarchy, a world he still can't quite wrap his head around, Cumbrian, a Celtic language, still first to cross his lips as he stares up at a ruined city. But more and more of what will one day be English rolling around in his mind, two languages with so few loan words there is nothing in English we can use to construct his mother tongue. Walking through a city, what was once a real and robust city and now lays dead and decaying, he wonders.

Who's bones are these broken beams? His own? Were he and Alasdair and Rhys something once called Britannia, now faded? Are they Rome's, who died thousands of miles away in a place Arthur hasn't seen for centuries? His mother's? She ruled and represented nebulous things, these borders shifting and flexing. Rome made a desert and called it peace, but she ruled it anyway, lady of the waters and the north. Maybe. He's unsure. He touches fallen tile and broken stone and knows what he knew when she drew her last. The end of a world that began failing long before. He'll never be able to sort the losses out; the words he may have once used to describe them are dead and gone by the time there are experts enough to study it. All that once made sense has been forgotten under the weight of a thousand years.

This masonry is wondrous; fates broke it courtyard pavements were smashed; the work of giants is decaying. Roofs are fallen, ruinous towers, the frosty gate with frost on cement is ravaged, chipped roofs are torn, fallen, undermined by old age. The grasp of the earth possesses the mighty builders, perished and fallen, the hard grasp of earth, until a hundred generations of people have departed. Often this wall, lichen-grey and stained with red, experienced one reign after another, remained standing under storms; the high wide gate has collapsed.

and

Far and wide the slain perished, days of pestilence came, death took all the brave men away their places of war became deserted places, the city decayed. The rebuilders perished, the armies to earth. And so these buildings grow desolate, and this red-curved roof parts from its tiles of the ceiling-vault. The ruin has fallen to the ground broken into mounds, where at one time many a warrior, joyous and ornamented with gold-bright splendour, proud and flushed with wine shone in war-trappings; looked at treasure, at silver, at precious stones, at wealth, at prosperity, at jewellery, at this bright castle of a broad kingdom.

#Britannia and her children || they made a desert and called it peace #hws england #Arthur || stone set in the silver sea #Eirian || into the nightlands #my writing || cacoethes scribendi #I can kind of read old english and it always fucks me up how theres hardly a celtic root word anywhere that's not a place name #im not depressed im analysing texts!!
