Thanks to @kuroposting I got around to making this comment (keep reading that comment thread) on one of their posts.

So, yeah....

Elic Phantomhive

I have even more reason now to stick with this name for our earl, at least for now.

ciEL <- -> ELic

The "c" and "i" are properly mirrored, while the "el" is moved into the mirrored position but preserved in meaning. In that way, those names are anagrams but also "mirrors" of each other, without needing to spell it Leic (which would work with Irish roots -- see links further down as examples -- but would remove the "El" aspect).

Even though Ciel is thought of as a French name, with Latin origins... it works well with Hebrew, just like Rachel is Hebrew in origin. We've previously been explaining "Ciel" in terms of "sky blue, sky, heaven", but WHY would this be a word for Heaven, and not just sky? Because of "el". Is it literally the "ci" of "El"?

I found meanings for Ciel that define it as "a divine blessing from heaven".

But I wanted to find something specifically connecting Ciel to Hebrew, and I found this: just as Ciel, cieling, ceiling, celing, ceal, cael, coel -- and all those other variations in Old English, French, and Latin -- speak of coverings, concealing something, such important words used in architecture and interior design (and biology)... these are also used for translations of the Hebrew Bible when speaking of covering things, specifically when it's not just to protect but also to hide from God's sight. There was also mention of a Hebrew word that can be translated as sailor:

And שָׂחִיף can be translated as wainscoting or thin paneling, but is also slang for thin, as in "skinny". Thin barriers used to protect but also hide... and then a reference to sailors?

Uh. Are sea and ci the same thing? Like... the Genesis account of dividing "the waters" above and below? So the sea/ci is the water below, while Ciel is the waters above?

Ciel is the "sea of god"... the sky protecting/covering Earth and hiding Heaven from human view. It's "heaven" in the sense that it's the closest anyone on the earthly plane can "see" of Heaven.

Let's not forget I'd explained (in numerous posts and comments, like big time here, slightly here, and here) that Elic is a variant of Alex, meaning "protection/protector" (also commented here), and Ciel also means protection, in the form of covering or hiding.

Mother3 theory hasn't let me down yet. Why would the mirror twins' naming scheme be any different?

Now back to Layla and Al/Alyal in Arabic... the dark cover of night.... heh 😏

[abybweisse]

Really sad if they do that to the English edition, though. Leic is an Irish word that means a flat surface or flat stone... like a gravestone. Would Rachel have considered the second twin to be a solid foundation... or just likely to die young?

The reason I go with any anagram and not specifically a mirrored name is because Claus and Lucas in Mother 3 are "mirror twins", but their names are not mirrored, just anagrams.

So, I think I'll hold onto Elic a while longer... though Leic would be an interesting choice to go along with the theory he's Irish on his mother's side. 🤔 😬 It would also sound similar to "Luka" (younger brother in s2) when pronounced in Gaelic....

@such-a-downer (replying to this) yes, that is how Elias is spelled when I used google translate, so that’s how it’s being pronounced (in Japanese) in my video.

@abybweisse the reason I compared it to Alois and speculated that his name may have the same origin is because, like Elias and Ciel, they sound extremely similar when played in reverse.

That is, when you reverse an audio recording. Not when their names are spelled backwards. His name may be spelled “Eliece” or “Elies” to more closely suit your anagram theory, but with how their hair is parted and their accompanying motifs (silver hair, “eyes like mirrors”) I believe that their names also being literally mirrored is fitting.

〇 pre-games

best. boyfriend. ever.

that’s it, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

🙃🙃🙃

his love languages are:

1) quality time

he may be a police detective, but he ALWAYS tries to make time for you 

and see you every day, and if he can’t, he’ll save some minutes to call you

loves to hear about your day

big on communication, that’s key on your relationship 

type of boyfriend that picks you up after work, or anything really

he just wants to see your cute face :3

takes you out on cool dates

to the park, to eat, to cute animal cafés

he’s okay with staying in too, just cuddling, talking, watching something….

and 2) acts of service 

will drive you anywhere you need

you get ‘good morning/night’ texts every single day you’re not together

makes you breakfast 

and has no problem with cooking for you

opens doors for you 

pulls out the chair at the restaurant ☝🏻

he’ll simply do anything you need

loves coming home to you, it doesn't matter how shitty or overwhelming his day was, you just put a smile on his face

his favorite thing to do with you is eating

it may sound boring, but he loves to see you taking care of yourself, well-fed and happy

takes you to meet his family

his mom loves you

even his brother likes you

he’s a tease and enjoys seeing you all flustered

i feel like he’d be the type to have many pics of you on his phone that he goes back to whenever he misses you

you’re probably his wallpaper, perhaps even on his wallet too 🤭

some pet names like: “honey”, “love”, “beautiful”, “cutie”

would never cheat

a guard dog

not super jealous -a bit tho- but won't hesitate to step up if someone acts stupid 

(picture that one scene in season 2 when that man mocked him and didn’t believe he was an actual police detective hehe)

shows you off 🤩

checks you out :p

his hand is on you in some way when you’re out

has good emotional intelligence

big spoon

reminds you to take your make up off before bed if you wear any -he may even do it himself if you're too tired

or to take meds

he is just really caring and supportive

doesn't like seeing you worried or anxious because of his job

absolutely hates to see you suffer

doesn’t mind that you may be struggling financially, it won’t change what he feels

will help you with whatever it is

just don’t hide it, he hates secrets and lies

i hate doing it, but there always has to be some 🚩 

he’s the first one that would do it (lying and hiding stuff) to ensure you’re okay and don’t get worried

on a particularly overwhelming day, he will raise his voice at you

can get really overprotective 

some days you may not hear from him, or at least not much

will sometimes struggle to open up about his issues or what’s upsetting him

△ during the games

after your sudden disappearance, worry and fear ate him up

while checking your house he found a weird card

and once he discovered the exact same one at his brother’s, he knew something was going on

heard gi-hun at the police station rambling about some weird symbols and immediately recognized the design

interrogated him about you, desperate to know about your whereabouts 

as soon as he successfully infiltrated the games, he began your search

almost had a heart attack when he spotted you

had to make the effort of his life to stay calm and not run to you

would somehow manage to get you two alone so he can get you out of there (i wrote about this)

almost gets caught

feels betrayed you didn’t tell him and quite angry you’d risk your own life like this

but mostly relieved you’re okay (and still alive)

watches you like a hawk from the distance, ensuring your safety

constantly around, you continuously sense his presence close by 

□ post-games (you died)

had to see your death and practically went numb

blurry vision, ringing in his ears, shortness of breath, sting in his throat

the worst thing tho, was finding out his brother had been behind everything

how could he have done this to you? you trusted him! 

feels completely disgusted

after his coma, he blames himself for everything

your name was his first word after waking up

dreams about you 

gets you a cenotaph given that your body will forever remain strayed

nevertheless, he still talks to you like you’re there

tells you about his recovery and his progress finding the island

you are his strongest motivation

he’s doing this for you, to provide the love of his life a much deserving peaceful rest

gets you new flowers every few days

he’ll never stop feeling guilty

〇 post-games (you survived)

has nightmares he failed and left you to meet your demise on those cursed games

always there when you have them, and so is his shoulder if you need to cry

reassurance king

hides the identity of his attacker from you

becomes even more overprotective

shared location on at all times

gets paranoid if you don’t text him all day

he swore to never miss a single detail of your possible struggles. not again

you can still tell he holds himself responsible for your time on that island

stays awake at night just watching you sleep safe and sound (will never say it tho)

babies you

bigger spoon

doesn’t let you go out on your own if it’s late, afraid that something may happen and those psychopaths will reach you again

He hugs the limp body closer and hopes the dumb artefact’s effects will dispell soon (hopes his King will not beat him up too badly for this later).

SMARTER, AND YOURS BY @vitaminkyeom

Jihoon, school's no. 1 (or no. 2), was nothing but a pain in the ass for you. Sure he was better than you in some subjects but so were you. The two of you were equally good enough for the first place so to increase the competition, he decided to suggest the most scandalous thing you had heard: the two of you tutor each other.

Or, in which, you were the rich kid with your family's dignity on the line and he was the poor kid with his family's sacrifices on the line.
