it is past time we jettisoned the useless false dichotomy of introversion vs. extroversion and just accepted that everybody has a minimum amount of social interaction, failing which, they get really weird. and everybody has a maximum amount of social interaction, exceeding which, they get really weird. these levels are different for everyone, for a variety of reasons, and have no moral dimension. and that is all.

thanks for the tag @alyssalenko :)

Three Ships: I feel so disconnected from fandom and haven't even enjoyed gaming recently either. However, I am pretty steady in my Cullen x f!quiz love. even today my mind defaults to them when I need some warm fuzzies. Aeon (leon kennedy x ada wong, Resident evil) also gets some love in my ongoing and incessant inner monologue. I did like Gale and Tav from BG3 but the BG3 hype didn't last long with me, sadly.

Last Song: uh, it was "The Winner Takes it all" from the mamma mia soundtrack. ABBA helps me work out harder ok?

Last Film: Lisa Frankenstein. I appreciated it being for the weird girls but I think it was missing something. Still cute though.

Currently watching: Just had my biannual to annual Charmed re-watch because I am a millenial who cannot be tamed

Currently Reading: Fruit of the Dead by Rachel Lyon. Picked it up at Barnes and Noble last weekend.

Currently Craving: To book more trips.

OC name meanings

Thanks for the tag @elveny!

Rules: Search and post the meaning of your OC’s name (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you)! bonus if you can find something for their last name too.

Maybe talking about my OCs will get me to write? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ophelia (Ophelie) Lydia Asherson:

She goes by “Ophelie” in the text but her given name is actually Ophelia, because her dad is a professor of western literature and also a nerd. According to google, Ophelia is a Greek girl's name meaning "help," "aid," or "advantage.” didn’t know it had greek origins, but that makes sense. In a more meta sense it was chosen because of its connection to Shakespeare (talked about in text actually.) her looks have changed over the long, long years, but her name has always been Ophelie.

I like the idea that she starts to go by the French variation of her name as a slight way to protest her namesake’s fate. Lydia also has greek origins, but notably it’s a common name in Hawaii because that was the queen of Hawaii’s English name. And it’s Oph’s mother’s name.

Rowan Kosta Hartley:

Rowan is Irish for “red-haired” and is also the name of a tree. I always liked this name and thought it sounded masculine and weighty. I also like the “earthy” connection to the name. Kosta (or Kostas) comes from the Greek meaning "steady or stable" which is actually perfect for him. Canonically he's named after the father he never met--which was actually "Kostas." he spoke little English however and the intricacies of Greek male naming conventions were lost in translation, so his mother just refers to him as "Kosta."

"Hartley" is a stage name (his mother's now his) and it doesn't have any interesting meanings, but I do like the fact that "heart" is literally in the name, fitting. It was also the actress Vivien Leigh's real last name, and the two are based off of Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier.

these names flew into my head 11 years ago, and at this point in my life they're about as normal to me as my own name or my best friend's name. Ophelie was actually conceived as French (and it was actuallly Ophelie,) but here we are.

#tagged #l like the idea rowan's dad told his mom when he met call me kosta #instead of kostas because you drop the s when speaking to them directly #but greek grammar conventions being lost in translation #anyway greek lessons from a lady who can only say thank you in greek #asherson is a placeholder name tbh #Rowan’s name was always Rowan Hartley #I liked the sound

I'm always going to be an stalwart defender of both high art and complete trash. I also personally think that the best way to really open yourself up to the highs of the former is to be open to the guiltless pleasures of the latter.

My writing lately has been very slow since last summer but I thought I’d share the crochet project I’ve been working on:

Had some leftover yarn I needed to use and came up with this. Need to add some tassels to this scarf and it’s done!
