when a horrid little flesh tube straight from hell pops his disgusting face on to the dock you give him a spoonful of meat. very very simple transaction.
a very polite young man
omg thats willowbank in Christchurch NZ. They’re long-fin eels, and the bolted on spoons replace the plastic straw things they used to use
[taking notes to fly out there and feed polite young tubes spoonfuls of meat]
My only real and valid writing tip is that you google every word you make up for your fantasy stories. That’s It
there won’t be any results though because you just made it up
One time I made up a name for a character and after googling it discovered it was a Zimbabwean slur
Looking at you, prolific Marvel villain Knull…
i went through the notes for you:
to the people in the notes making the argument that every combination of letters is a word in some language: sure. but you’ll want to at the least know what that word is! naming your character detergentin another language is pretty different from naming your character slut in another language
This is Hârn(Columbia Games, 1983), IMO one of the best RPG campaign settings ever published:
They have been very careful to make sure they always write Hârn with the circumflex accent over the “a” ever since they discovered that “harn” (minus the accent) is the German word for urine….
I once named a dwarf character “Thordic Hammerdin”, and my buddy Jp! read it and asked “Is his dick thor from being hammered in”.
Even if they don’t immediately mean something to you, always have someone else check shit you make up.
It doesn’t even have to be a different language. Ask the #WWE about what happened when they names a group of women wrestlers “The Submission Sorority”.
So, the Transformers Collectors Club came up with this dude:
A combiner made of guys from multiple universes, and the name they came up with was Nexus Maximus.
It passed every search and trademark check, at both Fun Publications and Hasbro. Only there was one problem. As they were family-oriented businesses, the policy was to have safe search on by default.
And that’s how, for a short period of time, a Transformer and a double-sided sex toy shared a name.

The option is also always open to pull an Akira Toriyama and just, lean into it. “Here’s my team of elite alien warriors, I named them after English words for dairy products”
When I made @klhiers change a character name cause it meant r*pe in French.
ABSOLUTE TRUE STORY. X_x;;
I am forever grateful for this, and I *always* check character names in at least ten languages now.
it’s an absolute crime that you didn’t include the cover image
In case anyone was curious, it’s because insects aren’t listed under the endangered species act, so they looked at the list of species that are to see what category they could fit them into and they chose fish. Because sometimes fish are invertebrates and so are bees, therefore bees are fish.
if they had ditch weed dispensaries i would still smoke

stop recommending this useless misinfo. the satanic temple is a bullshit organization who take advantage of reproductive healthcare crises to get more attention. they have never once actually won anything in court for abortion access.
