if anyone wants to laugh (or cry) here's quick descriptions of a few people that we in poland can vote for this year, for parliament and senate, from the party konfederacja (confederation, i guess). this is all absolutely real, im quoting, its shit from their social media
danuta grzyb - spreads information about flat earth, she's a fan of a flat earthers cult "bright sight of the force" which specialises in fighting the reptilians. she also considers plane condensation trails to be chemicals spread to control humans
danuta leheńka-das - says that 5G, as well as electric kettles, kills humans and that frozen lemons can cure cancer
krystyna jarocka - wants to fight 5G, wifi and illuminati and she shares a movie about a mysterious planet called nibiru which gets close to earth every couple thousand years. it is supposedly inhabited by ancient civilization
marek banyś - he raps and sings about murderous vaccines, spreads russian propaganda, fights 5G and wifi and wants to cure cancer with nuts (like almonds and shit)
dorota rycak - promotes drinking piss (it’s supposed to prevent cancer) and amulets protecting from vampirism and curses (that’s the most normal thing you’ll find here). she also spreads information about mind reading water
tomasz walczuk - fights 5G, wifi, plane condensation trails and freemasonry and considers the australian wildfires to be caused by abortions
stanisław bąk - says that jews are immune to cancer and you can cure cancer with cinnamon
PROFESSOR (yes academic title) ryszard zajączkowski - is sure that the world is ruled by illuminatis and that cancer can be cured with dandelions. also spreads russian propaganda
żaneta nochowicz - supports the flat earth theory and is a firm believer that there’s a very successful worldwide business specialising creams (like for your body) made of foreskins. she also tells people that trump can time travel and that mountains are actually ancient trees

You gotta hand it to Fig. All of the Bad Kids were given foils this season and they got to decide how much they wanted to engage with that part of the plot. Gorgug only interacted with Mary Ann in passing despite them both being on the Owlbears. Fabian noped out of chatting up Ivy once she crossed a line with Mazey. Riz was so busy that he truly had no time to engage with Kipperlilly even though she's obsessed with him. Kristen interacted a bit with Buddy but spent way more time verbally sparring with Kipperlilly. And Adaine was somewhat interested in Oisin but never overtly acted on it.
But Fig?
She's in Ruben's WALLS. She's in his DREAMS. She's faking her alter emo's death. She's got the Fantasy FBI after her. She's SO SO tiny. No one is doing it like Fig's doing it.

Hi I was wondering if you know of any good resources to get good vintage names that aren’t typical and boring (Fred, Edward, Alfred etc)?
Some of the names in the Santa letters are certainly peculiar and it made me wonder what kind of names those “vintage baby names” lists are leaving out 😜
Thanks! And happy new year 🎊
One place to get a good general overview of what names were like in a certain era is the Social Security Administration's lists of popular names that go back to the 1880s. The further down the lists you go the less common they get. However these are still all names that had at least a few hundred occurrences, so you're not going to have any Gloyds etc..
I personally always try to find names from primary sources (newspapers, census, vital records, etc.) as you're more likely to come across unusual names that don't make the top 200 lists.
Also keep in mind that name popularity varied greatly by location. Just because there were a bunch of Juanitas in Tulsa in 1930 doesn't mean there were that many in Boston.
Honestly if anyone is working on a specific project and needs names from a certain location/era (i.e. you're writing a novel that takes place in London in 1627) feel free to message me and I'd be happy to work with you to compile a list from primary sources. I love this stuff and will use any valid excuse to spend an evening digging through 17th century baptismal records.

It actually feels very meaningful when Laudna tells Orym, "You wield a blade gifted by the Voice of the Tempest, why would want this wretched thing?" and Orym pauses for a long second before saying, "The blade's from my family, first."
Whether this was intentional or a slip of memory, Laudna does not know the origin of Orym's sword. She connected it to a gift from a powerful political figure, not from Orym's husband, who gave it to him and is the reason he still carries it as a poignant connection to a lost loved one and also a reminder of what the Vanguard has taken from him and countless others. Paired with her asking him, "Why do you care so much?" and Orym turning to the others to answer for him because he's made it very clear for a very long time why, exactly, he cares so much, it feels telling that Laudna is not actually considering and/or aware of the place he's coming from in this conversation.
She doesn't even know where Seedling came from.
