im so so so sorry for late respond anon !!!
because previous attempt to reply was failED but whatever
but sure thing, i’ll try to elaborate! this gonna be a long one haha
as i know, big amount of nicknames for one
certain name arent real big deal in any language, like Elizabeth can be Eliza,
Elisa, Betty, Bettie and etc etc etc in english
but sure russian nicknames are fucking something, because they sometimes don’t look and sound like full name at all!
typical example for that: a friend called AlexanderAlexandra (АлександрАлександра) you can call Sasha (Саша), Sanya (Саня), Shura (Шура), Shurik (Шурик) and more, if you add specific suffixes, but that comes later
my real name Maria (Мария) has some similarities to Alexander
in shorten name: the most common pet name is Masha (Маша; like Sasha) and Manya (Маня; like Sanya). Also you can call
Marias as Marusya (Маруся), Marishka (Маришка), Marika (Марика) and
more
according to your example for japanese nickname
it seems you came after yoi anon, which is fucking cool because i can tell
nicknames for Oh Those Russians™ too
So, the name Victor (Виктор) doesnt have much nicknames, so the most common ones are Vitya (Витя) Vityok (Витёк), Vityan (Витян), Vit’ka (Витька)
Yarkow called Victor ’Vitya’ tho
and there are some more since i google the
names for extra info but trust me other nicknames are so dumb so i’ll keep it unknown
Yuri (Юрий) has not
that many nicknames too, like Yura (Юра), Yurka (Юрка) and Yurochka (Юрочка; his grandpa called him like that)
but subs spelled it wrong lmao
thats for yoi… but actually some russians (me
for instants lmao) sometimes forget nicknames of certain names tho! for example
me and sis spent legit a lot of time recalling pet name for Georgy (Георгий), and it turned out to be Zhora (Жора; zh pronounced like ‘ge’ in ‘garage’)
also there is a name in russian EvdokiaAvdotia (ЕвдокияАвдотья) which
shortens to Dunya (Дуня)
in conclusion?? if russian isnt your native
language but you want to give a nickname in russian for someone russian too,
you either look it up in advance, or guess it somehow
but i mentioned specific suffixes earlier,
which play big role in russian nicknaming, because you can make a shorten nameeven cuter or funnier or uglier,
which u prefer lmao
example: here
is Alexander again, Sasha for short. but with
suffix and -ka (-ка), -en’ka (-енка), -ulya (-уля) you get even more nicknames: Sashka (Сашка), Sashen’ka (Сашенька), Sashulya (Сашуля)
and moRE, MORE TO COME
i can make legit list of COMMON nicknames for Alexander: Sasha -> Sashka, Sashen’ka , Sashulya, Sashechka, Sashunya; Sanya -> Sanyok, San’ka, Sanechka ; Shura -> Shurochka, Shurik
so now many is that? 13nicknames! pretty cool, right?
all because russian has such a diversity of these suffixes!! and it’s
hard to list them all, because there are really, really many ways to make more
nicknames
but i’ll add some more examples
after all! because every suffix have slightly different meaning
the regular shorten names, like Vitya
for Victor, Masha for Maria are obviously much less formal as full names, and
russians use them on daily basis with almost anyone (exceptions are teachers,
bosses and any other officialhigher persona), like classmates, colleagues, and
any kind of acquaintances.
lil throwback to yoi: while watching
of 1 ep all the russian fans were kinda pissed by Yuri and Victor using full
names to each other, because russians rarely do that!!! they would definitely
call each other Vitya and Yura, considering Victor’s personality, he would call
Yuri only shorten names tho, like Yurka and Yurochka
but when you add those suffixes, shorter name became even lesser formal and are usually used by
close (or not that much) friends
the most popular
suffix for russians is -ka-, and it’s supposed to sound kinda funny: Sashka (Сашка; Sasha + ka), Mashka (Машка; Masha + ka from Maria), Vit’ka (Витька ;Vitya + ka from
Victor), Tan’ka (Танька; Tanya + ka from Tatiana)
another suffix of same kind -ik-/-ok, used for male names only and either
connected with full names: Pavlik (Павлик; full name Pavel/Павел + ik), Stasik (Стасик; Stas/Стас + ik), Vladik (Владик; Vlad/Влад + ik)
or shorter ones too: Vityok (Витёк; Vitya + ok)
-chk-/-shk- (-чк-/-шк- ) sounds more tender now, but still slightly funny: Sanechka (Санечка; Sanya+chk+a), Tanechka (Танечка;Tanya + chk+ a), Galechka (Галечка; Galya + chk +a
from Galina/Галина) btw these suffixes cant be used with names Maria or Victor
but -on’k-/-en’k- (-оньк-/-еньк-) do!! at
least for Victor – Viten’ka (Витенька; Vitya + en’k + a). and some more
too: good ol’ Sashen’ka (Sasha + en’k + a) sounds super cute and these suffixes
are less funny but have more tender/sweet character already
but……… i’m tired of writing ALL suffixes and variations of names,
because there are even MORE, MUCH MUCH MORE and i, russian myself, can’t really
recall and explain them all well
so i hope this was informative and at least understandable for you anon,
and anyone who read this!
if you ever need to give a nickname for russian character, oc or not,
feel free to dm me on the matter! bc every name has some special cases, some
suffixes don’t go well with some names, so it’s better to ask someone whos
russian about which nickname suits the character better and how to create a
more accurate nickname
Hi there! Thanks for asking! I’ve actually never seen this one before and boy is it weird haha
The Melibe viridis is a predatory nudibranch, or type of sea slug that’s got some interesting adaptations to search for and catch its food.
There is in all of its glory. In the front you have its “oral veil” that acts like a net. It scans the sea floor for small fish and crustaceans. When something brushes the
sensitive papillae
along the edge of the veil, it quickly closes to trap and eat its prey (kind of similar to how a venous fly trap works).
This video shows one going after a little frog fish. It also looks like these sea slugs can swim for short bursts if necessary but they are going to be primarily benthic species (living on the sea floor). The
Melibe viridis has also adapted to blend in with its environment, you can actually see in this video that the sea slug and the frog fish have similar colors and textures since they are living in the same environment.
Thanks again for bringing this stunning animal to my attention. I’m so glad you are enjoying the blog!
Tearing your favourite article of clothing and discovering that it’s
irreplaceable because the technique of its manufacture has been lost
Realising you’ve thought of the perfect comeback to someone who’s been dead for three hundred years
Not being able to eat your favourite dish anymore because the source of some critical ingredient has gone extinct

Getting a song from the 13th Century stuck in your head and being unable to get it out because you don’t remember how it ends and you’re the only person on Earth who knows it
Having that perfect pun you’ve been waiting forever for a chance to use stop working due to linguistic drift
i just want to preface this by saying– there is nothing canon about this, i’m not trying to say it’s ~official~. all of this is just what i think as a viewer of the show who has been watching shit (the majority of which is anime) for a long time and am thus used to visual/auditory cues. i also speak japanese well enough that i get the audio cues, but i’ll try not to dwell on them for those of you who don’t!
this is going to be a long fucking post because there are a ton of screencaps in here (every interaction that i felt was even slightly important) so be warned lol. tbh it’s more for my own reference than anything ANYWAY here we go.
hey since I just told a friend this and they found it helpful: if you’re having hallucinations and are having trouble distinguishing what’s real and what’s not, use your phone’s camera and take a picture of the thing you might be hallucinating. cameras don’t hallucinate.
hey maybe reblog this for other neurodivergent people to see please?
Morgana is one of the greatest of all faery queens. She is skilled in necromancy and the ancient art of shape shifting, able to be whatever she desires. She soars through the night on raven’s wings, landing silently in your dreams to work her dark enchantments. Well versed in star craft and arcane healing powers (with knowledge gleaned from Merlin himself), she is the mistress of the mystical arts of sexuality and high magic.
Hers is a complex nature, neither totally beneficent nor totally malign. Her faults are anger, resentment, and, true to faery nature, using her cunning arts against those who offend her. Yet although she schemes against King Arthur (her half brother), it is on her lap that he rests his dying head as she and two other dark queens sail him to Avalon to be healed. It is her necessary role to be found at the crux of the drama in our lives, working toward wisdom and healing in dramatic, difficult times. She guides in moments of forceful emotions such as anger, bitterness, resentment, and sexual jealousy. The disturbing influence of this dark queen can lead to profound change.
The tree powerful days at the dark of the moon are this faery’s special time- when all processes are internalized and concealed. It is then that Morgana comes to us to reveal the mystical starlight, the bright points of faery consciousness, which permeates all of the matter. Morgana is an enchantress who works her magic at the deepest levels- in the dark, secret, hidden places of our minds. She imitates us into mystic realms of creative imagination where all that is not yet manifest begins the journey into the light and form.
