The Ship Name Post (un:happyaround)

[roundandaround]

Did anyone else have people at the Otherworlder Fan Merch Store tell you you shouldn't look at a section? Especially in the back of the store, where they have all the books and a bunch of them are sorted by those weird names. The store employee told me I wouldn't wanna see the ones with "Sparklecest" on the tag, but I was on so many of the covers there!!

Actually, I wanna find out what all the names mean! Do you know any of them?

P.S. pet tax + kid tax?

[As is tradition, a photo of Leon sitting on a log in his enclosure, and a photo of Mecchan playing Candy Land with Hina... well, he's playing, she's trying to eat the cards.]

In my experience, -cest usually means a pairing between relatives. So you and Evangeline, I would imagine?

Saya and I were AliDoc in Tokyo-F because of the names we were using there. Here we seem to be Hangover Cure? I'm uncertain why they didn't just go with KanSaya or something similar...

[roundandaround]

Wait what
uh

Okay!

I dunno, they didn't have a lot of names like that. Hangover Cure? Huh... is that because you're a doctor?

[happydreamed]

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you.

Because I'm a doctor and she works in a bar, I'd imagine? I'm only grateful it isn't anything more personal...

[roundandaround]

That's okay! It's weird and scary, but I did want to know...

How would they know personal stuff, though? I guess you never know.

[happydreamed]

The fans did in Imeeji, but we were almost constantly being recorded there... I truthfully don't know how much they know about us here.

[roundandaround]

I thought it was exciting, but that just sounds creepy. But hell had worse versions of everything, right? And we're not being filmed all the time.

Maybe I should be glad that someone I know isn't here otherwise Sparklecest would take on a whole other meaning...

[roundandaround]

Wait, do you also have a sibling who sparkles, Stelle-chan? That's what Kantera-san said it means.

[starwill]

Nope. As far as I know, anyway.

I just know someone whose name is Sparkle who has an ability that works for a very specific trope.

[roundandaround]

Specific trope? Like... shapes??

[Rinku, that's trapezoid, not trope.]

[starwill]

Not like shapes at all.

Like... fictional stereotypes? Sparkle can transform into other people, so people could potentially make selfcest doujins.

[roundandaround]

Oh! That makes sense. Wait, if cest is on the names of the things where people are related, then what's selfcest? Of course you're related to yourself.

You absolutely should NOT look at that section. I didn't know what it meant either, and they didn't warn me off.

[roundandaround]

Kantera-san told me what it meant....... Did they warn you about anything? Or did they figure you would like everything?

[attempted_purity]

I don't know if they assumed I'd like everything, or if it's just that they assumed there was nothing there that'd bother my sensibilities.

My relatives aren't here, and I haven't made a familial connection with anybody from another world.

Seems fans are particularly fond of using the name 'Lust Around' for you and I.

[roundandaround]

Huh... I guess that one makes sense! It's easy to figure out what that means! I saw some "Cat Planet" for me and Paulo-kun, too, and I was on the cover of a bunch marked "Percussion Hammer," let me check what's in that

Oh, me and Amy-chan! That makes sense. I assume it's the older Amy-chan but they do kinda look the same.

[attempted_purity]

Oh, you and Amy sounds like a very cute match-up.

For Evangeline and I, it seems like fans are mostly torn between: Lustly Courting, or Abnormal Romance.

It's a little odd to think we've become such celebrities to have tales written about us, but I'm glad there are people so supportive of us.

I have absolutely no idea what a "Sparklecest" is and I want no part of it.

[roundandaround]

Apparently it's not about you... Do you not like merch or something? I know the people from hell don't.

[im_pancake]

No, no - my name's "Twilight Sparkle".

[roundandaround]

Huh, that makes sense. Nice to meet you! I'm Aimoto Rinku! Do you like the merch and stuff? I do, but I know some people feel weird about it.

The names usually mean the members of the fictional relationship. Or real ones. Some people actually "ship" real people. It's weird.

[roundandaround]

That makes sense! It's weird, but it's kinda fun too, isn't it? Like we're really famous! And this whole place already feels like a movie!

[escapethecurve]

I guess.

Makes sense from a multiverse kind of way. So you find any ships for yourself you got to actually see?

[roundandaround]

There's a lot! Like Percussion Hammer has me in it, and Lust Around, and Shellfish, and 6/30, and there was a section called Idle Chatter, I dunno why it's called that -- but there's lots! How come?
