Who Is Linkin Park? - One Shot KO By My Younger Coworker

“who is linkin park?” - one shot KO by my younger coworker

That’s such a boring way to name a character, honestly.

Apparently in the expanded Cthulhu Mythos there is a character named Cthylla, who is the daughter of Cthulhu and Idh-yaa

...which means that the family of the character whose name was invented to be incomprehensible and unpronuncable follows the Latin naming system/declension.

*sarcastically raised eyebrow* Wow, sure stretched the ol' creativity there, huh. Really branching out by having a male name in the 4th declension. So amazingly unheard of.

And for those of you who - like me - know how hard Latin grammar is, this isn't a post joking about that. Cause a whole lot of English names still fit that Latin format. Which means whichever Cthulhu Mythos creator is responsible for this did not bother to pick a naming system that was even unusual in, let alone unseen in, English.

They literally just went "feminine form is -a or -la" because it usually is in English.

One thing i've run up against when dealing with fandom and characters making less than ideal choices is that people seem to treat a character's decision being sympathetic, the decision being understandable, the decision being reasonable, and it being objectively the best solution for the situation, as synonymous. When those are 4 very different things.

Wait what's a buildings fire evacuation plan if you aren't supposed to use the elevator to get down

Okay but the contrast to this moment and Horse and the Infant!!

Because Odysseus begs both times, “Please don’t make me do this.”

But the first time Zeus is telling him to kill one baby to save everyone else (most importantly his wife) and he isn’t really being given a choice “This is the will of the Gods”

Whereas this time it really is a choice. A horrible choice, yes, but Odysseus is not being made to kill his crew, he is deciding between their lives and seeing his wife again. In Horse and The Infant he does something terrible to save more lives. In Thunder Bringer he does something terrible that sacrifices many lives solely to save his own. He really has become a monster.

And yet, right from the beginning Ody tells us that he would trade the world to see his son and wife. He would have always made this choice. It’s just that now he can throw the guilt away.

He has become a monster and in the same breath he is exactly the same.
