the 2018 oscars are going to be even worse than usual because i can almost guarantee you a bunch of chucklefucks are gonna crack wise about all the sexual assault allegations. some straight celebrity is gonna go up to the mic, make a completely inappropriate quip about harvey weinstein, and less than five minutes later there’ll be a buzzfeed article with the headline “Watch This Woke Ally Just Totally Fucking Pulverize Hollywood Abusers” and then at some point during the night the academy will probably find a way to honor woody allen

Something that’s almost never covered in fantasy mediums is common names.

Like we all know fantasy names are unusual, but any name to a foreign culture is considered unusual English names to Indian people are very unusual for example. But naturally, given that it’s an entire culture, there will be some common names, it’d be refreshing to at one point here this exchange.

“So I was talking to Vicnae and-”

“Wait which Vicnae? You can’t just say Vicnae. There are ten Vicnae’s in my village alone.”

This has 100 notes yesterday and 300 this morning what the fuck happened.

People understand the truly important things.

DSA (a German fantasy P&P RPG) actually has the name Alrik, which is hugely popular in the universe. Everyone is Alrik.

This is also a great excuse to use “X the Y” or “X of Y” type names without being pretentious. Calling someone “Thognor The Stout” goes from pomposity to practicality if he lives down the road from Thognor The Small.

my family is from a town in Ireland where everyone has the last name Ryan.  literally like everyone.  so they differentiated families by calling them by their professions, right?
