#old fashioned names

[onetwistedmiracle]

you know how lots of names go in and out of popularity like a sine curve? how a lot of people think the first names of a generation or three ago sound super old-fashioned, but if you go back a little further, those names now start to sound super cool?

i want a sci-fi show where the characters all have what sound like really old-fashioned names to me. a captain named Helga. a first mate named Hortense. communications officer is Boris. the ship's doctor is named Dodie and the science office is named Vernon. the hotshot pilot is Milton and the navigation officer is named Erwin.

we've got crew members with names like Alvin, Marvin, Elmer and Herbert.

i could so get behind this.

James Potter is a boy dad so heavily in my mind! Remus and Sirius are girl dads, but James seems to only make boys who’re carbon copies of his him who love on his wife maybe even a bit more than he does! They bring you flowers, shower you in kisses and you almost always have to sleep in the middle of them so everyone has a piece of you to cuddle and you adore it.

The Velaryons are not black in the universe of asoiaf. They are Valyrian. The same race as the Targaryens. Their different features in the show don't negate this. The Velaryons are not Summer Islander or Naathi. They are Valyrian, descended from Old Valyria. They aren't mixed with anything either. They are simply Valyrian.

h-how do you ever finish any of your work? genuine question because you seem to be productive despite your agreste syndrome and I need to learn your ways. but also how do you ever finish any of your work

unclear. last night i stayed up and finished a report worth 25% of my grade at about 5am, arrived on time for my 9am lecture, and spent about half of it zoned out while thinking about seventeen year old emilie agreste. and i was one of the most active participants in the class discussion

do you think they borrow each other’s rogue names after they die

also as a rogue name for thalia, blue bolt? (blue eyes, ‘bolt from the blue’ being an idiom for unexpected and important news, and also meaning a lighting bolt far from the parent storm (this being because a charge of electricity was so strong that it wandered away from the parent storm)

blue bolt felt so deviantart oc-coded but hell yeah that’s the fun part

oh absolutely i think rogues would name themselves after each other. Even besides just adopting each other's names when one of them dies, but also like trading names. Best friend rogue duo whose rogue names are just each other's real names.

tbh Thalia and Luke would have deviantart oc-coded rogue names lol. Blue Bolt is definitely a cool fitting one! I was joking in the TA discord yesterday that Luke might lightheartedly call Thalia "Green Day" or "Hot Topic" just to tease her.

Still dunno what Thalia might call Luke though 🤔 Cause he's already a little jaded of the gods to begin with so he'd probably try to lean away from directly Hermes-related nicknames? But he's super emo so he'd probably try for something dramatic and edgy. And Thalia would probably tease him about it as much as he teases her.
