WIP of Penelope with her forever-unfinished shroud.

Reblog if you've made at least one friend because of a fandom.

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.

Send me a word, any word, and if it’s in my WIP I’ll answer your ask with the sentence or line it appears in.

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.
