How Do You Do, Fellow Creatives™

uh.. oh god. Ocs.

im making them for a book concept and... God its getting out of hand. I gotta do a total of ... what, 25 of them?

Its a whole thing. Tell me if your interested in the full lore.

Ima show them off in waves! So first let's do the court of the cherry blossom:

First is vimal, the head member who represents purity within the council.

then we got those below him:

malum, the judge, who's name totally doesn't mean evil in Latin. He's probably the most plot relevant character.

kocai, the herald. (Ignore the thing on the bottom, I forgot to change it). She loves skinks and speaks in sort of a southern/aussie accent..? Accent or like just way of speaking. Kinda is a jerk to everyone, but a funny jerk. She means well.

then the last of the ones I have from the court of the cherry blossom is lehrer. Named after Tom lehrer, who fun fact, lehrer means teacher/teaching!

(I still need to make like, 3 more of these guys.)

Next post gonna be about the court of the spider lily, which is like the chaotic neutral guys

dostoyevsky was surely a master of nomenclature as well. i don't know if all editions include this, but my copy of crime and punishment (penguin) includes info on the names of the characters and their meanings. dosto's versatility is unbounded since even the names of characters match with their actions and character traits.

from raskolnikov's name, "raskolot" means to chop or split. "raskolnik" refers to religious schismatic. "razum" in razumikhin means intellect or reason. "zametit" from zametov's name means to observe. most importantly, sofya who is mentioned often as sonya, refers to wisdom.

THE PHANNNNNTOM OF THE OPERA IS THERE INSIDE MY MIND.

Behold:

If I had a dollar for every well-dressed, manipulative, cunning mass-murderer with a funny staff thing that I got emotionally attached to, I’d have $2.

Which isn’t a lot, but it’s completely predictable weird that it happened twice.
