#BOE names

[weepylucifer]

there's something just amazing about john gaius being all "i saved the world, but not for me", blatantly riffing off of lord of the rings, which no one will ever call him on, bc he's the only person who remembers lord of the rings. to make matters worse better more, he's not even quoting the book. he's quoting the movie. so lame, you think, and then you remember where the movies were filmed and about the hobbit tax and the māori stuntpeople who only ever got to play "evil ugly" orcs and easterlings and all of that and oh boy it's all connected here isn't it

but it also is unambiguously hilarious of him to compare himself to frodo. it's like if frodo set out to destroy sauron but orcs kept trying to arrest the fellowship and call him a charlatan on the middle earth news or whatever and also halfway through he gets hit up by gondor and they tell him that denethor just died and they need him to use the ring to reanimate his corpse and he just does it. and in the end frodo loses it and destroys all of middle earth except sauron who runs away on a spaceship

while we all love Ianthe’s vileness it is important we not forget that Coronabeth is also a freak (affectionate). Ianthe might have bit chunks off of Naberius but at least she did it bc she needed the thanergy, Corona bit him literally just for fun and/or as a personal emotional outlet. sir this is my emotional support chewboytoy. and we cannot leave out how juicy she thought Gideon’s extremely megadead corse was while she&Cam&Judith were BOE prisoners. there is a reason why Ianthe thinks necrophilia is pasé and imo that reason is Coronabeth. not to mention how she canonically only falls in love with people who are somehow incapable of returning her affections: corpses. Judith. third house boys with a special interest in shuttles. she had a mental breakdown bc her sister did not murder and eat her.

Alecto Prediction #11

We’ve seen through Corona that when people from the Houses join Blood of Eden, they receive a new Edenite name. We aren’t told who gave her the name Crown Him with Many Crowns in NTN, but I believe that we will find out that it was Pash. It makes sense if we think about which biblical figure Pash correlates to: John the Baptist. In baptism, a person is christened with a name, just like Corona was christened Crown. But John the Baptist is called the Baptist not just for baptizing the average Tom, Dick, and Harry. He also baptized Jesus. And we have a perfectly good lesbian Jesus ready in the wings to ask to be baptized.

This is why I believe that Gideon/Kiriona will join BoE and Pash will give her a new name.

I've finally settled on a BOE name: We Are Children of Dust and Ashes Ár Dtinte Cnámh go Buacach Táid Ooh Girl Shock Me Like an Electric Eel, shortened to Dust.

We Are Children of Dust and Ashes: From "War and Peace", but really a reference to a song from my favorite musical, Natasha Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812. The full original quote (translated into English from Russian ofc) is "'You see, my friend,' he said, 'we sleep when we don't love. We are children of the dust...but one falls in love and one is a God, one is pure as on the first day of creation.'"

Ár Dtinte Cnámh go Buacach Táid: From the original song whose chorus is the Irish national anthem - I don't feel especially connected to Irish culture, I haven't been there or studied it especially, but the idea of using something celebratory towards the US makes me absolutely crawl out of my skin. The original English version of the line in "The Soldier's Song" is "As round our blazing fires we throng."

Ooh Girl Shock Me Like an Electric Eel: I think this is pretty self-explanatory. By MGMT, I think I first heard it here

So does Tumblr know that Dane Boe, creator of the Annoying Orange, recently came out as trans and uses they/them pronouns? I feel like that's something that the collective Tumblr consciousness would like to know

I'm not seeing anyone on my dash talking about John Barnett so can we talk about the fact that Boeing straight up murdered a whistleblower. Completely shameless in it too, like wow the circumstancing are fucking damning if you read about it for even five minutes on even the most mainstream news sources. This is some capital b Bad dystopian shit. Don't fly on Boeing's planes if you can avoid it!!! That fucker might just explode with you on it.
