nec·ro·man·cer

/ˈnekrəˌmansər/ 

strictly forbidden, a corrupted being that speaks with and summons the dead. often practiced by sorcerers to feign power. fae who’ve tried most often have perished. noted is the rotting of their hands, melting of their skin, the monstrous corruption eating away at their souls. 

there holds a difference between one who practices necromancy, and the necromancer.

the necromancer cannot perish, and each death faced is temporary. each death only increases their power over time. extends their bridge in the gap. 

their skin does not rot. yet the corruption is visible.

the necromancer not only speaks to the dead, she controls them. corrupts them. they become her servants. should she gain access to a large collection of corpses, the fear she could instill is best not discussed. do not let this form of fae near any form of fungi. their connection to nature does not sever, but a connection to something that can spread and corrupt can endanger others.

the only fae known capable of practicing necromancy are the unseelie. 

if an unseelie and seelie were able to create a hybrid, the destruction she could cause concerns the council. 

if a hybrid came in contact with a sorcerer, and bred a halfling, it could symbolize far greater destruction than we could decipher.

strength and weaknesses presently unknown to the council.

I think a lot about this painting that was, presumably, given to Fernando at the 2012 Japanese Grand Prix, which there is just zero explanation for it, other than these pics:

Where is it now????? It better be hanging up in a place of honor in one of his houses istg!

But what makes this better is that after he crashed out from that race, he tweeted a samurai quote 😭 I like to imagine him just nonsensically mumbling samurai quotes while staring at this painting in despair

#i meant to post this back when i made his chair lore posts #bcs someone actually pointed in out in the tags #but i forgot so ive just been hoarding it until now 😭😭 #literally lost my mind when i first saw it like oh my god!!! nando samurai art????? #wish we could've seen his reaction </3 #like is this not literally his dream???? #anyways he def has a painting like this in boy king au #but seriously where is it now 😭😭 I NEED TO KNOW #its just so perfect #oh yeah also that quote is from a 17th century japanese book #so it makes me question. did he just look up 'samurai quotes abt battle tactics' #or does he genuinely read samurai texts. id really like to believe its the latter #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #2012 japanese gp

found out while putting together matthias's oc page that his name has the exact same etymology and meaning as theo's name...

i’m sure this is information matthias is very normal about…

#theo is in fact a gift from god so jot that down ! #river dipping #i've been throwing myself into oc stuff bc i'm not doing hot mentally which is... tbh when i do my best writing 😭 #none of this is new tho i wrote the bios and 'at a glance' intros months and months ago when i first made an oc page #which is why i do plan on rewriting them but for now i'm leaving them like this... so i guess the echthroi page is done? #obviously echthroi has more characters than this but i haven't taken new screenshots of everyone yet... #i put the gray cas bg back in my game a few days ago only to completely forget i wanted to take new headshots for the oc page 😭 #like these are just placeholders... i want the backgrounds to match the oc page. oh... or maybe i could just do transparent pics? #i think i remember vyx made a post abt how to do that... will look into that when i open the game again. rn i'm at my keyboard ���‍💻 #like i am writing new things! started a google doc for theo yesterday and have been writing on it here and there since then #i've already cried in there... lmaooo. i like oc pages for sure but i think a huge google doc is what i really need to keep track of things #i drop so much lore in tags on here and it's like! river write that down somewhere else or you'll lose it 😭 #like i fr have never actually written down any of the info i've shared on here. i've just had all this oc knowledge stored in my brain. #so i went through and copied over a tonnn of tags and posts i've made into google docs but i just know i'm missing things i've probably #said in the tags of their core tagged posts... 🧍 if my blog didn't have so many posts i'd have an easier time going through it but 🤷 #and on top of that i've been making a bunch of posts about theo and matthias on my main acc. which is like 🧍 well great now there's more #i'm gonna lose track of...... i fr have gottt to get into the habit of actually putting things down in theo's google doc!!! #i'm just trying to figure out the best way to format it all but i've downloaded a few templates that i've been messing with. #...anyway. if it isn't obvious i'm trying to get back to posting on here. i'm opening my inbox now with the intent to just. #sit here in my inbox until i can get myself to reply. lads... avpd is actually so torturous i'm not kidding. #i feel like i'm dying trying to get myself to interact with people sometimes even despite how badly i want!!!! to interact!!! #theo and me and our avoidant trauma responses holding hands and skipping around together

[skeletalheartattack]

you have a fursona? can we see

here's his bitch ass‼️

this is actually the first time i'm posting him on tumblr actually. the most i've done beyond that is vaguely mention him in my notes. his name is Ruce, and he's an alligator (the G tattoo on his arm stands for Gator). and of course he's got a mohawk. can't be my character without one <- lying

i made him in like.... 2018 or so i think? Boe was actually made after Ruce was created now that i think about it. that said, i don't have a middle or last name for him like i do with Boe though. someday that'll change

#ask #anon #ruce #my art #oh yeah his mouth goupes. oozes. whatever. #why? idk i thought it was a cool detail and i wanted something beyond him being red to make him stand out #so he's drools. whatevar. #oh yeah big tail #awesome feature of alligator #i think i originally drew him with shoes but i hated drawing them so i just took them off #i wasnt very good with drawing his hands so thats why hes hiding them behind his ASS #i dont actually have much lore for him beyond him being a representation of me on some level. i do not drool. #why alligator? idk those fuckers are cool :) snappa snappa. bite bite. rip and tear until it is done #i also think its cool for his mohawk to be his scales too #''The Cave'' isnt really based off anything. i just wanted him to wear a cool shirt #anyway thank you for the ask :) #i dont draw very much but i have seen some tags from folks about how they liked my style :) i think thats very sweet #EDIT: OH OH I REMEMBER THE REASON WHY ALLIGATOR #dingodile :) #different type of lizard beast but STILL #i fucking love dingodile. always fucking have that dude slops <- compliment of some fucking sort

#sigh. puts up the barricades please I do not want to see d.nf on my dash #and again I do have it super filtered #I’m just soooo tired every little thing being HARD LAUNCH HARD LAUNCH until the next thing bc of course that didn’t happen #and life went on as usual #look I get it I’m the minority I’m aroace and easily exhausted by shipping esp real ppl shipping #but it’s times like this I miss the lore fandom bc man the complete focus on platonic dynamics and relationships was so nice #look if they ever actually say they’re dating I guess I’ll eat my words but so far I am not getting the sense that that will ever happen #and so it is extremely annoying to want to follow drm fans and get 90% of One Single Ship #and no sap except as third wheel for said ship #sorry I’m the only one who seems to not care abt George 😭😭 not in a bad way just. he’s fine and funny sometimes I guess but #I Just Don’t Care. and also another thing I need to get off my chest #why do ppl act like George is really shady and passive aggressive and ‘oh he should interact w X person who wronged drm he’d ROAST THEM!’ #like huh #George is one of the most Don’t talk about anything be vague be private ppl ever #I’m not saying he hasn’t had his moments of public support for drm but I just don’t get it #(it’s probably because he’s so vague and noncommittal that fans can just project their own feelings onto him) #sigh anyway I’m done that makes me feel better a bit #no tags just venting #<- it’s funny that became my venting tag now that I only vent in tags #bc some things such as this I am afraid to even put under read more lol

Zilla is the Flotsam and Jetsam to Velvette's Ursula lol.

Lmaooo kind of? In a song where they manipulate an innocent person she would be for sure

#ask #hazbin hotel #velvette #oc #ive been thinking of their dynamic lately actually but i'll hide my ramblings here in the tags for the poor souls that don't care at all #so the funny thing about them is that they dont need each other at all #they have their own thing in different rings and theyre fine with it #but they do have a blast when they hang out #which is kinda torturous for them specifically bc theyre so self centered and controlling and selfish #that admitting that they JUST LIKE someone with no ulterior reason is humiliating #and any excuse they can make to see each other is flimsy at best #like 'hey help me get more souls and you can throw darts at them later' they can do that on their own. they dont need the other to do that #i imagine they try not to bring up it to preserve their own egos #in a more playful moment zilla would be like oohh you like meee and velvette would deny deny deny #in a more serious moment they both have rock hard evidence that the other likes her too and they both know it #if one ego goes down the other does too #this would be like...the first stages of liking each other i think #and when they get together theyd be like 'ok i have soft mushy feelings for this one person but that aside #im still the greatest overlord/murderous mastermind whatever' #until theyre defeated by the good guys i guess #what can i say i think evil friends to lovers to losers is hilarious #soooorry if you read this long ass thing #im hyperfixated and i have so many zillete thought and so much zilla lore in my pocket #i needed to puke a little bit out

[8bit-mau5]

What stuff would you most like asks about and/or who’d you most like asks for?

I honestly am Not picky about the asks I get! I love having an opportunity to talk about or for my characters, and it's easier to list what I DON'T enjoy writing for: delving into sexual stuff, having my OCs mocked or having their struggles/etc made into a joke, or in-depth worldbuilding type stuff (i just dont do much of that and have little to say for it). (the only exception may or may not be coming soon. im very. whats the word. i hold what little i created for this world very close to my chest because of unsavory past experiences. so idk if i WILL share my fleet stuff here yet or not..)

I've told some of my friends this already, but seldom do I get any asks and so almost EVERYTHING yall see on my blog are months or even years old. (I am VERY grateful to the people who Have gone out of their way to send me stuff before :’3)  I take a while to answer cos I hold onto asks and quite literally ration them out so I can have Something to write for at least once a month askdjhdhdh

That being said I'm happy with anything (so long as they arent the above mentioned stuff). Some characters will lie, some characters will skirt around a subject, but most anything you want to know about my characters and the plots + stories theyre involved in Can be found out through asks. I try REALLY HARD not to put everything about a character on their page but. I get a lil excited to talk abt them lol. Ask them their fave color, their fave music genre, their hobbies, their fears, prod them on sensitive subjects, go wild honestly. Hell you can even just Greet Them TBH

EDIT: FORGOT TO ANSWER THE REST OF THIS UHHH. For WHO is rlly hard cos um. Essentially i get so few that I’d love asks for ALL my trolls at some point. But right now I’d love to be able to use Opal, Kieulo, Geniva, Viserys, Cyrell and Samael’s sprites more. ESPECIALLY the first two. 

#asks #dis-asterism #most of the asks in my inbox are to old ask memes #or are things im saving to DRAW something for #most of my asks in here are actually from 2020 and earlier :'3 i even got one from 2018 in here #when u dont get much you end up happy to get most anything askjhdhdhd #sending asks tho? i LOVE pestering ppls ocs about their interpersonal relationships #like a glimpse into their dynamic and seeing someones oc give love to their friends oc. KINDA LIKE WHAT U SAID IN THE TAGS OF MY POAST TBH #its so fun hearing abt the characters perspective. and its rlly rlly cute to me #its easier than asking other people abt lore things and plot stuff cos uh. i cant keep up w/it #i dont do much plotting myself. my guys are kinda just here #nothing happens until i meet someone willing to play with these guys like dolls cos i HATE the act of writing that isnt like. cooperative #hope this makes sense #this is why i dont pair my own OCs together. its not fun #working with and writing with people is where the joy is stored you see #i got a lil long winded but i hope this helps #TYSM for the ask btw

[soulsilversprings]

also it's been a year of having ppl call me ira. wild!!

#i remember running a poll like 'hey which fake name should i use on here?' #and like 4 ppl voted sgsjsksk #ira was my attempt at making a play on the 'irrelevant' in my handle #which more lore- i created the lmaoirrelevant name for my wattpad acct when i was 14 #(never posted. just used it as my secret diary) #but if my username sounds weirdly angsty/edgy for no reason that's why! #once again i didn't think i'd actually be sticking around here so i didn't think about the username too hard #until i was like 'okay. im staying i think!' and wanted to come up with something for ppl to call me that wasnt a mouthful #also i identified as cis at the time but liked that ira is a gender neutral name #funny how that works!! #anyways no one asked for my life story in these tags sgsjsks #but idk im just feeling sentimental. shrimp emotions #yknow that post thats like 'you can go by a fake name but Watch Out' ? #yeah. yeah <3

Hallima and Halone

Timeline: Myths of the Realm Raid Series

There is a certain level of absurdity that Hallima's life has reached when meeting the Gods Themselves ranks as only in the top five strangest things that has happened to them.

It's strange and awkward and feels like hearth and home in a myriad of ways. They are kind and distant and ephemeral. Hallima doesn't know how to feel about them, so they don't think about it, instead treading moment to moment as needed. It works, mostly.

There is one in particular though, where the feeling is more confused than the rest.

When Hallima was still very young, newly stumbled into the borders of Gridania, some local witch or seer had paused walking by him on the road, staring at him with a thoughtful gaze. Hallima hadn't thought much of it, glaring back with fists clenched- he knew he looked strange, covered in hard scales and tattered rags. This was nothing new.

"You are a long way from home, child." The seer had spoken, voice measured and even. Hallima said nothing. There was nothing to say.

After a long moment the seer's companions had called out to them, realising they had fallen behind, and they sighed softly. They reached into their robes and pull out a small packet which they hold out to Hallima.

Hallima doesn't take it, stepping back mistrustfully.

(how old had they been then? Barely past the Hyur seer's kneecaps.)

"Just some food. I have nothing else to offer I'm afraid. Fury guide you, child."

"Fury?" It's the first thing Hallima has said to the seer. Or anyone in a very long time.

"Your Guardian God." The seer smiles just a little. "Halone the Fury. It's a little gift I have, to see these things."

Later through much observation and eavesdropping Hallima would learn that Halone was the Goddess of Ice and War, benefactor of the benevolent and faithful.

It never quite sat right with Hallima. They never liked the cold.

(They never did talk about it with Sidurgu, but they don't really have to. They've settled into a comfortable balance of irrelevant truths that lay by the wayside of their brotherhood.)

(They do talk about it with Aymeric, the blur of half-remembered memories and suspicions and the weight of Ishgard's sins. It's a rough conversation, but they do feel better afterwards.)

And then Hallima meets Halone herself, and all of it comes rushing back.

They know that the Gods do not intervene in the lives of mortals. The things done in Their names were not necessarily by their will. This does not stop some bitter part of Hallima's heart (one that sounds suspiciously like Esteem) from laying some blame at the feet of the Goddess for what could have been.

The Gods call on Hallima to talk, and always the obediant puppet, Hallima goes.

(Too far, Esteem)

They approach Halone, and Halone smiles at first, greeting them with aplomb. Then her smile falls, taking in the expression of the Au Ra below.

(Hallima isn't used to feeling so small. It's purely because of her sheer size of course, and any chill they feel in their fingers merely the result of a phantom wind.)

"We have said before that we do not interfere in the lives of mortals. We love them, and we are shaped by their faith, but to exact our will upon them is not our wont."

She floats lower then, coming to kneel before Hallima, bringing her as close to eye-level are her size would permit.

"Our pantheon offers guidance to the lost, and we hear their prayers. We cannot act, but we always listen."

"Were you listening then?" Hallima hears themself speak as if through a fog.

"I was." She nods, her voice quiet and solemn. "They wished for victory, to bring hope and peace to their families who awaited them."

"Just them?"

Halone releases her spear, which floats gently at her side, and touches Hallima's cheek with two fingers. Soft though her appearance seems, Hallima can feel the thick callouses on them.

"Nay. I heard yours too. For safety and home."

They don't ask why she hadn't answered. That answer has already been given.

"I cannot act on the will's of our faithful, but I do regret that my name was invoked to put such pain upon you, my child." She says, and she sounds genuinely remorseful.

"I don't know if I would call myself one of your faithful."

"And such is your path to walk." The smile returns to Her face. "One I would not have any other way. A Guardian God is one given by birth, but the one you choose is yours alone, and all the more important for it. Do not feel tethered to me for such circumstances, bitter as they are. Like all my brethren, we wish for our dear children's happiness, in whatever form it may take."

Something lifts from Hallima's heart, a weight they hadn't realised they had been carrying.

"Thank you, Halone. For listening."

"Of course, my child."

gazes off into the distance. maybe i should work on monster band again...

#my post #the wondrous oc tag #monster band #the lore is stored in the tags #shakes them (my ocs). i dont know what this story is About yet and i need to decide that before i really go anywhere else with it #idk idk i think its about balance #i dont think ive ever explained much about this story. so theres these 2 magical deer that are like. gods i think maybe #and one represents truth and knowledge and light #and the other is lies and secrets and darkness #and the light deer reveals itself to a group of people its decided have proved themselves Curious enough #and basically makes it their mission to. expose every secret. personal or cruel or even like magic shit #and they think 'yippee were doing the right thing :]' bcus the dark deer (which the light deer told them is evil) is getting weaker and the #light deer stronger !! but um as they continue exposing all these local secrets eventually they get caught in the crossfire and a few of em #are like 'wait thissucks actually' but its not until one of em exposes the secrets of the other members of the groups that the others are #like. wait this is fucked up you cant just do that. bro you cant out me to my mom wtf is wrong with you. #and and um that one guy is kinda far gone and practically controlled by the light deer and the others are like 'Hey Maybe These Twin Gods #Were Originally Equal In Power For A Reason' #and now they have to try to fix everything. but yknow you cant just un-tell someones secrets man so idk how they do all that #smiles. idk how to write endings #SMILES and they all even have names #zenith is light deer and nadir is dark deer #the sorta controlled guy is aster james (or just aj idk he goes by both) #and the others are nerris kal and day!! #kals full first name is kalideoscope :] and day's is yesterday :]!! #idk i like sillay names #fun fact i named aj Aster (latin for star) over a year before i added Astronomically named deer representing light and dark #it was his destiny to get possessed by the light deer....

i'm so confused rn, can you explain the goncharov thing?? i get off tumblr for five minutes

(Edits closed as of 28 Nov.)

Lmaoooo

Nah I getchu. So this post has been circulating for like two years:

Link to post.

But yesterday, it had inspired someone to do this:

Link to post.

Next thing I knew there were fake Letterboxed reviews.

Goncharov moodboards. Really good ones.

Link to post.

Meta analysis. So many fake meta essays. Disturbingly good ones. And of course the memes. (Edit: HAVE I SAID THIS SHIT IS DISTURBING)

As you can see, the myth just started to grow, characters and ships and tropes being added one after the other, almost bizzarely without contradiction, until there was enough of shape to the whole thing for people to start posting fanfic about it on AO3. "No beta we die like ice-pick Joe" is already a tag.

Link to post.

It was hilarious in the beginning, but the way it's developed within less than a day, kind of like it's being willed into existence, is freaking me out a bit. We're toying with powers beyond our comprehension. 😂😂😂

Link to post.

Of course, there could be an ulterior motive as well.

Link to post (tags mine).

Edit: guys, please tag these posts "unreality" so people with disassociation issues can filter them out (not this one, this is an explainer). <3

----------------------------------------------

Edit 2: Aparently the boots in the original post are actually referring to a movie called Gomorrah that came out in 2008, directed by Mateo Garrone, based on the Scampia Feud. And other people had also been making posts about the fake movie for a while before the poster took off.

found by @thepotch

Edit 3: Explainer: why did those boots have this movie on them anyway?

Edit 4: Alt text added to all images courtesy of @valentineish ❤️

Edit 5: Turns out tumblr has done this kind of thing before. Nine years in this hell place and I had to have "Squiddles" and penis smp explained in the replies.

Edit 6: This post collects the Lore so far.

Edit 7: Lynda Carter (real one)/ earns more/ Tumblr cred.

Edit 8: Holy shit y'all we have the theme music. With sheet music. And it's on Spotify!

Edit 9: THERE IS A TRAILER WITH THE THEME MUSIC

----------------------------------------------

I made this post 18 hours after the movie poster went up. Closed edits 27 hours after first posting. So all of the above happened within 45 hours of the movie poster going up.

Edit 10: Google document live-compiling all the lore so far (Day 3)

Edit 11: Masterpost of Goncharov soundtracks (Day 3)

Edit 12: Entertainment news articles covering the Gonch-posting (real) (Contd from yday)

Edit 13: The music from the masterpost all compiled into a 31-minute original score with video edits on YouTube (edit: unfortunately taken down)

Edit 14: Staff's Goncharov art showcase for Tumblr Tuesday

As of closing on Day 3 there are 371 works in the AO3 tag.

Updating with Day 3 shenanigans I missed yesterday:

Edit 15: Goncharov TV Tropes page

Edit 16: Ethics of Gonchposting

Important PSA 1 (how to reduce harm to Tumblr's neurodivergents)

Important PSA 2 (reality affirmation, anti-bullying)

Important PSA 3 (why you should stop trying to vandalise legit information sites)

Edit 17: Character lore from beezlebub whose poster they originated from

Edit 18: What we know about/ Director Matteo JWHJ0715 (#unreality)

Edit 19: Link to post with screenshotted and described NYT article (scroll down) and this golden exerpt from BuzzFeed: 💀

(alt text included)

End of Day 4 there are now 485 works in the Goncharov tag on AO3

----

Didn't get to update this on Day 5, so these are the Day 5 doings:

More trailers!

Trailer 1 (My favourite)

Trailer 2

Trailer 3

Trailer 4

I also just found out about the Goncharov Game Jam.

It appears this opened a day after after the meme took off.

Goncharov was first entered into Wikipedia between Day 4 and 5 (attempts to vandalise it with fake info don't count, incidentally – please knock that shit off) under List of Internet Phenomena. This was then expanded into its own Wikipedia page at the end of Day 5 because, according to the talk history: "the topic now meets the notability threshold for its own artice due to significant coverage in The New York Times and other sources cited." We're on Wikipedia, people!

And then we made The Guardian half a day later. So while the meme is definitely dying down to embers by now, it still stays winning.

YouTube channels with episodes on the meme:

InformOverlord (4:30)

Lessons in Meme Culture (2:43)

End of Day of 5 there were 511 works on AO3, and End of Day 6 (today) there are 556.

🚨BREAKING 🚨 from Martin Scorsese's daughter's TikTok (real actual)

tw: unreality:

We did it you guys!

Clarification: Francesca Scorcese asked her Dad about the meme and Martin played along. Please reblog this PSA to help Tumblr people with psychosis. Thanks.

Final edit: Day 8. Media reactions to Scorcese's TikTok (everyone from Forbes to Vulture). That one Tumblr user who said they'd do a screenplay if their post got notes has promised to shoot a single scene, but please don't be dicks just because you reblogged it; leave them alone until they get around to it themselves. As of end of Day 8 there are 609 works in the AO3 tag. I love all you lunatics. Peace! ❤️

behold vonrier nolastnameyet, a knowledge domain cleric, my tav i made knowing very little about dnd or forgotten realms lore! spends his days traveling across the underdark doing general kelemvor cleric stuff and got abducted by fucking mind flayers of all things on one of his very rare trips to the surface, so he's just never going to the surface again after he gets this bullshit sorted.

#my baldur's gate tag #avatar (bgiii) #tav (bgiii) #my ocs #oc: vonrier #my big sticking point is that the religious beliefs i imagine him having based off the basic description of kelemvor #maaaay not actually make any sense in-universe #it's fine he's uh. from a different sect. #(his background is also *very* vague in my head because i'm waiting until i understand the lore a bit better to fill it out) #i was also very much gearing most skills and stats towards like. conversational skill checks. #not charisma just nerd shit like history or arcana #most of my suffering in combat comes from not being used to how it works though so i can't have built him too poorly #(undecided on whether i want to completely finish the game with vonrier before playing as the dark urge #but the main thing stopping me from even just creating her and leaving her at the beginning is that i can't decide on a race for her)

ok but I have Thoughts about the way Minecraft usernames translate to actual names, both irl and in fanfic. They’re definitely ‘obsessed with structure and grumpy at inconsistency flavor autism’ thoughts but still. I find it weird how we cut and paste the media we’re given to fit what we view as functional worldbuilding, and how that gets screwy when translating online names.

like, you’re working with several categories here. The person’s actual real name, their irl nickname, their gamer tag, a name possibly contained by or possibly the entirety of that gamer tag, and any extra pieces or symbols in the gamer tag. And you have the weird situation where those categories might not easily translate to a ‘First Name Last Name’ structure. For an example, we’ve got Phil Watson, who’s gamer tag is ‘Ph1LzA,’ and is called Philza Minecraft or Philza. The ‘Minecraft last name’ is a…. Bit? A joke? A reference to a bit of lore? It’s unclear. The ‘Za’ bit was put there for flair and is now an integral part of his name. Sometimes it’s his last name. Sometimes his real last name is chucked in there. the 1 in his actual username is literally never referenced in nicknames or fic it’s like it’s not even there. But that’s a simple one. What about Tubbo_? because we call him Tubbo Underscore. Like. We say the ‘_’ aloud. Why do we do that. What has possessed us to make that decision? What about FitMC? I’ve usually heard it said ���Fit Emsee.’ Why say that, and not say ‘Minecraft? That’s not even really a last name, it’s just like…. His full first name. Fit is used more like a shortened nickname. BadBoyHalo. Like. ‘Bad boy’ is a slang term, not a name. It would make the most sense to call him Halo, that’s the distinct noun in the name, the term the ‘bad boy’ bit is referring to. Like ‘GoodTimesWithScar’ but noooo. Bad. Halo is usually a last name, if it’s there at all. Skeppy on the other hand is… just his name. No last name ever. Technoblade is also weird. Technoblade is his full name. We call him that. We ALSO call him ‘Techno,’ and use Blade as a last name. We also use Blade as a title. What the heck. GeminiTay. We call her Gem. We use Tay as a last name sometimes. Her name is a Zodiac constellation. Literally nowhere I’m have I seen that affect her naming conventions. IJevin. We just… remove the I. For everything. This wouldn’t bother me except we don’t do it with everyone and I’m starting to get annoyed by the inconsistency. GoodTimesWithScar. Ok. This one also bugs me. Like, most fics call him Scar Goodtimes when they need a name. I’m not gonna dig into it but that’s…. Why? Why that? Grian never gets a last name. Ranboo sometimes gets chopped into Ran and Boo but usually he’s an Underscore or he’s last nameless. Wilbur Soot functions wonderfully (until the get involved shhhh) but it’s too close to his real name it gets very confusing.

anyway, all of this sucks, I hate it all, we’re a terrible fandom /hj

all that nonsense aside, yknow who has a functional Firstname Lastname username? It’s even got a space, and proper capitals: Mumbo Jumbo. That’s who. Look at that. It’s perfect. Everyone should be more like Mumbo Jumbo. Thank you and good night.

Edit: I know about Ranboo Beloved and Grian Dreamslayer and the various other characters whose names I didn’t mention perfectly in this post. This was no piece of journalism, this was an old man shouts at cloud meme personified. I was very overstimulated and this was what happened to catch my autistic ire. I’m not upset, just figured I’d clarify, a lot of people seem distressed at my not mentioning Beloved. Hope y’all are having a lovely day 💜
