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...

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

[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]

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

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[starwill]

It usually deals with clones or duplicates of yourself in spicy situations.

[roundandaround]

Huh, that makes more sense. Maybe a lot of people would like that kind of thing. At least if they liked themselves, and most people should.

[starwill]

Gets kinda complicated when the other 'you' is actually an evil shapeshifter, though.

[roundandaround]

Yeah, if they're evil that does make it worse. Oh, but we have a bunch of people here who can shapeshift and aren't evil! Why don't we turn into each other more often? It'd be fun!

[starwill]

Hmm.

I had been thinking about something myself... I have the gender rings, so I can turn into my male counterpart. It'd be neat if I could confuse people with someone that looked like me while I was being Caelus.

[roundandaround]

That'd be fun! It's like you're protecting your secret identity! Or something like that.

[She doesn't get the whole "male counterpart" thing and may think Stelle is a superhero and/or drag king, probably both at once.]

[starwill]

It's not really a secret identity....

Especially since I just outed it in public.

[roundandaround]

Then it's a public identity?

[starwill]

Doesn't have the same ring to it.

[roundandaround]

Forbidden knowledge!

[starwill]

It's not forbidden, either???

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

[roundandaround]

I dunno, Muni-chan said that's what it's called when a vtuber's other identity is supposed to be hidden but everybody knows it.
