disney employees are starting a full week of walkouts leading to their big walkout on march 22nd, 2022. they’ve asked people to not use disney products during this week. (no disney+, hulu, espn, playing games, watching videos, reviewing/blogging about any of their IP, no going to the parks). this is a targeted and timed action you can concretely participate in.
they’re asking people to also support by using those hashtags and to sign their petition in solidarity.
I think a lot of the strange sounding cavalier names come from numeral prefixes which come from Sanskrit instead of Latin or Greek like most English speakers would be used to. For example:
dvi- is the prefix for two, probably where Dve comes from
catur- is four, and becomes Chatur
asta- is eight, and becomes Asht
nava- is nine, and becomes Nav
Nigella is still confusing, because her name still means sixteen instead of aligning with one of the houses. Maybe she was the 16th and final member to join the original Lyctors/cavaliers or something? I don’t know if there’s an official cannon order on how they joined, but that’s the only significant use of the number 16 I can think of.
i have a question about jon's naming convention of people. like. whole numerical thing is another thing i have thoughts about but. how many languages he knew?
bcs pyrrha surname "dve" feels like it came straight outta slavic mouth. two - russian "dva" - dve.
nigella surname is shodash, hindi word for 16. not even six. sixteen.
why do these two stick out? other cavs surnames have latin roots as far as i know. is it miss tamsyn ideas overruling the question 'how the would he know these words if every dictionary is burnt with apocalypse?' is it intentional?
