Candy: You really put aside everything and came all this way for me? How did you even get here so fast?

Gazza: Several traffic violations.

Mischief: Three counts of resisting arrest.

Malingo: Roughly thirteen cans of energy drinks.

Carrion: Also, that’s not our car.

Does anyone deserve to be tucked into a warm bed and kissed on the forehead more than Malingo? No.

Hey Abarat fans,

At about what time period do you think travel between the Abarat and Hereafter was shut down? Klepp specifically states the picture he has of his great-grandfather was taken around 1882 by our calendar. That was before Harks Harbor was burned.

I'm feeling it would be fairly close since the great-grandfather's Almanak described the Hereafter in no pleasant terms. If the harbor burned before the 1900s, then would people have already discounted the Hereafter as myth by the early 2000s? Klepp doesn't make it sound as though trade between the two was so secretive on the Abaratian side. And Izarith recognized both the name dollars and appearance of US currency despite regular people on the street being said as not believing in the Hereafter.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm doing a bit of research and prep to begin working on something around Mater Motley's youth (just as a rough generalization without giving too much away of what I have planned since she wouldn't be the main character).

Thank you!!

OCTOBER 2022 SKETCH WRAP-UP

Me sketches for the month of October. Quite a lot of Jack Quaid because I am still absolutely crazy about the guy, plus one of him and Erin Moriarty. Then some of Florence Welch, then of Connor -- this was spontaneously inspired by a hilarious post by a mutual on Twitter. Then, to end the month, three sketches of musicians whose works I love and support. Luke Levenson, Malingo and finally, Ryan Karazija of LOW ROAR, who had sadly passed just end of this month (Rest in love, Ryan.)

Hey Pandas, What Are Some Good Male Or Unisex Cat Names?

New Post has been published on https://petnews2day.com/pet-news/cat-news/hey-pandas-what-are-some-good-male-or-unisex-cat-names/

Hey Pandas, What Are Some Good Male Or Unisex Cat Names?

I’m looking for ideas on what to name a new cat. He’s male, 2 years old. He’s a ginger, white with a few large orange patches. I’m still not sure about his true personality, was thinking of a name that matches his personality. His previous owners, my neighbors from across the street were neglectful, throwing him out all night in the cold crying, and they were always screaming, so this cat is skittish, but definitely not aggressive. He’s gentle, and I have a feeling he’s a sweet boy. Anyway, I’d love some ideas! I don’t know what the previous owners called him, usually just “pain in the a**!”

If i had a ginger cat i’d call them Ginger Ninja 😄🐈

Report

I have always loved the name Jiggles or Noodles for a cat

Report

Samson, Dragon, Sir Richard the Lion-Hearted, Bean, Toast, Mango, Willie, Noodle, Boris, Bumpus, Franklin, Milo, Hugo. Tell us which one you pick, or if you did something that’s not on this post!!

Report

if its a black cat with green eyes the call it Loki if blonde with blur eyes then call it Odinson it will be cool if you have two cats of the above description cand call them Loki and Odinson(thor)

Report

if its grey call it mjolnir or mew-noir for black

Report

if its chocolate brown or mud colour then call it belgie(belgian chocolate)

Report

if its whitish pinkish or creamish the call it onion

Report

as you said, “He’s a ginger, white with a few large orange patches.”… I’ll say : Winnie the Pooh or (Pooh for short) or TWEETY for a girl anyone wondering; Tweety is a yellow canary in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes i had a soft toy of her when i was a child and absolutely love it

Report

Based on his colors call him Julius for the orange Julius drink. Lots of good nicknames from that too Jules, Julie, OJ, JJ, JuJu, etc.

Report

Mittens Alex Fluffy Cheeto

Report

Since you said, “He’s a ginger, white with a few large orange patches.”… I’ll say the obvious: Ginger 😸

Report

I always name my pets after characters I like. Based on your description I would name him Malingo. It comes from Clive Barker’s Abarat series. But Malingo is a character introduced as a victim, escapes with the main character from this situation, and is really kind/loyal despite lacking some confidence. (He’s also conveniently orange!)

Report

Our first male cat was Vergil, but he died very soon. Long story short, eventually we got two new kittens, girl Rikku and boy Dante. Yep, all names are from video games, my husband is a nerd (FF10 and DMC4).

Report

Ginger bread or cookie. I think they are good names.

Report

Potato! Works best if he’s a bit on the chubby side. I’ve also always thought that Miso would be a lovely name on a ginger cat.

Report

I named my cat Fatso Franko. My old cat was a ginger called Meat, short for Meat-Head. My mom had two tuxedo males I called Dingle and Mr. Burt. Mr. Burt had a brother who was all white, I called him Ding-Dong. Cat names really depend on their personality.

Report

Coco is amazing. Or Shadow. Or Ninja and Midnight

Report

Jasper. It’s the name of a dragon in a book I just read and the stone matches the cat

Report

I always thought Linus would be a good name for a ginger cat! My dear departed fluffy ginge was W***y Fabian, aka Pooh Bear or Puddin

Report

Sammy, Twitch (named after a character in the movie Hoodwinked).

"But then there's another place: I gave to my editor an Abarat painting, I gave her the picture towards the end of the first book of Malingo with the skull flowers in his hands? It's a nice sort of Halloween picture because the colours are deliberately purple and orange and he's got a big smile on his face; he's very happy, this strange guy with these skull flowers in hand. I think there's a lot of off-beat choices amongst the pages that would please a kid who doesn't want something quite so sweet as is often offered up. But I would say, you know, don't be too cautious, because I think you can be too cautious."

I freaking LOVE Abarat!!! 😍😍😍😍 Clive Barker is a magic man with his books and I haven’t found one I haven’t loved to read yet! Though first place in my heart is Abarat.

Malingo and John Mischief are best boys, Candy is my girl for life!

Im still working at the IPad thing, but I’m pretty proud of this one! 😊😊😊 I will definitely try my hand again with them the better I get on this device. Which is taking a while… 😗

I decided to try to figure out who is considered human and who isn't in The Abarat series. After doing a scour of the books, my conclusion is that "human" is a word that is used differently by different people. It can refer to the species of humans, to people who are shaped like humans but are a different species, and possibly to people who are descended from the human species who live in Abarat (debateable) The word "Abaratian" seems used as a demonym more than any kind of biology word.

"Which Abaratians are human" - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

I started looking into this because I wanted to know if the Candy/Carrion ship was technically an interspecies thing. It doesn't really matter, I was just curious

read my EXTENSIVE notes below

-The Fantomaya in The Lyre in the Abarat Prologue are referred to as human.

-In Abarat ch. 7, Mendelson Shape is said to make a sound that is far from human. He later says, "The Abarat isn’t for human eyes. You belong in this world, the Hereafter." This suggests that every human in The Abarat might not be indiginous to it.

-The Sea Skippers and Vlitters are both described with human comparisons, suggesting they do not count as human.

-In Abarat ch. 13, Candy observes the populace: "As far as Candy could see there were plenty of people who resembled folks she might have expected to see on the streets of Chickentown, give or take a sartorial detail: a hat, a coat, a wooden snout. But for every one person that looked perfectly human, there were two who looked perfectly other than human. The children of a thousand marriages between humankind and the great bestiary of the Abarat were abroad on the streets of the city." In the same chapter, Candy sees humans on a television.

-In ch 18, "Abaratian merchants" and "Abaratian slaves" are mentioned. The A in Abaratian is always capitalized, suggesting that it is more like the word American than it is like the word human

-In Abarat ch. 19, Carrion uses mummified human cadavers for his spell. (This fact is brought up again, later, in chapter 22) Ignacio the stitchling is apparently made from at least some human parts, because, "Two thirds of his body were still functioning as ordinary human anatomy."

-The people of The Abarat are apparently very aware of human norms. In ch 22 we read that Carrion had "heard it said that every fear that had ever chilled the human heart was here on Gorgossium."

-In ch 23, Candy doesn't seem to think that Pixler is fully human. The narrative says, "he seemed more like an ordinary human being than many of the creatures she’d met on her travels" which could mean many things.

-In ch 28, Malingo is said to be not "quite as vulnerable as a human being."

-In ch 30, the stitchling mires are of "inhuman design."

-In the Abarat appendix, we learn that Kalukwa birds "reportedly hatch downy human babies from their eggs every ninth year. These children—if saved from being pecked to death by juveniles of the previous year’s hatching_are often saved by the pirates and raised as their children." So this means that humans can be born from non-human parents. It also says that Alice Point, once home to the Fantomaya, no longer has human residents.

-in the DoMNoW prologue, Carrion specifically identifies Candy as a human when he refers to her head as "that human head of hers." It doesn't seem like a very human thing to say.

-in DoMNoW ch 3, Candy looks through a telescope at some carvings on Gorgossium and one is said to be "vaguely human."

-in DoMNoW ch 12, Our Earth/The Hereafter is called The Human World.

-Filth the munkee has a "human cast to his crooked face" in ch 14. What this means precisely is hard to determine because the next description of him doesn't seem very human at all

-DoMNoW chapter 16 includes a part where there is a mural on the wall with two people, "one human, one Abaratian" on it. This implies that the human and Abaratian identities are mutually exclusive. In the same chapter, there is a description of the Totemix. "There were none among the Totemix that were completely human; but then there were none that were completely animal either."

-Ch 21 calls not-yet-finished stitchlings "half-human sacks." This is a scene that just refers to them generally rather than any specific stitchlings.

-Ch 25, of a group of people on a ship: "the flames illuminated a great crowd of folks, some human, many not, assembled in the middle of the deck."

-Ch 26, Jimothi is called "the most humanoid of the tarries" because he walks on two feet. The soldiers sent to patrol ninnyhammer by the high court of the hours are called "human" in contrast to the tarrie cats. When the three monsters killing tarrie cats and humans combine to form mater motley, her shape is described as "unmistakeably human" and the narrative says "Its humanity was no great comfort to Wolfswinkel"

-ch 39 a baby dragon bites finnegan. Later the baby dragon has "the taste of human blood in his throat"

-DoMNoW chapter 43, Candy wonders why Carrion didn't try to mind-control her when he is able to mind-control Malingo. Her guess is that it is because she has a "human mind" as opposed to Malingo's Geshrat one.

-ch 46 Elathuria has a "human form"

-ch50 refers to Candy's family as "human food" and a "human meal" for Abaratian fish

-ch51 Mater Motley's stitchlings are "not all human"

-ch 56 candy's father refers to the people with candy as "not human" and explicitly points out the brothers john and finnegan. He is almost certainly just being a racist shithead about finnegan. The narrative describes Letheo's face as human

-Absolute Midnight chapter 2, Helio Fatha says "humankind can't hold on to a mystery." Jimothi is "purebred Abaratian"

-Chapter 3 involves a crowd of abaratians suggesting that all humans be killed. Izarith gives Candy her hat so Candy can hide her identity. So despite being bepedal and bearing a passing resemblance to a human, Izarith is clearly not going to be considered human by her peers.

-ch4 has a conversation between Pixler and Voorzangler

“Don’t look so worried, Voorzangler,” Pixler said. “I know what I’m doing.” “Of course, sir,” the doctor replied. “But I wouldn’t be human if I wasn’t a little concerned.” “Boasting now?” Pixler said. “About what, sir?” “About your humanity. There aren’t very many employees of the company who could say such a thing.”

I think that this is probably supposed to be a metaphorical discussion of humanity rather than a literal one, but I leave it in the notes in case anyone wants to interpret it differently.

-AM ch 10, Covenantis hears princess boa's "human voice"

-ch18, Covenantis sings a spell described with, "These were the primal sounds of an Abarat that was holding the Hours in trust for humankind to one day possess."

-ch 21, the narrative around Boa calls earth the human world.

-ch36 one of the monsters is a pot and one of its ingredients is human meat

-ch 40 maas the half-dragon is compared to a human, but mostly to show how unusual he is

-ch 41 Boa says of Maas, "The closest he gets to having any real humanity in him is when he dines on it."

-ch 50 Rojo Pixler has "human anatomy"

-ch 52 there are "human-headed birds"

-ch 54 the baby Hemosh kills is said to sound like a human but not look like one

-ch 63 a pig looks "almost human"

-ch 71 Carrion reflects on Candy's behavior and thinks about how her human ancestry must make things difficult for her because she has fears of predators and the dark, but he is impressed by her bravery

[gelsemium-ellegan]

drew this for fun a bit ago :) most of these characters are prob recognizable except for Malingo, who is a character from Clive Barker’s childrens series, Abarat. It’s REALLY good, super magical, adventurous, & fun. (I mean I read it many years ago so not sure how it’s aged but from what I remember it’s v good)

So this is pretty different than what I usually post, but I just remembered this little doll I made (with help from my grandmother) and thought I'd share him. I made him back when I was into cosplay. I was hella into Clive Barker's Abarat series, and this little Malingo doll (along with the Candy cosplay I made, maybe I'll post that at some point) is the product of that passion. He's a little lopsided and floppy but I love him!
