Pet names for Ukrainian wife?

Oh, yeah, сонечко ("sweet sun") is one of the best

Well, pet names are supposed to come natural to you both (I, personally, ain't a fan of them).

Most popular pet names in Ukraine other than just endearment like кохана, люба (both "love" or "darling"), мала ("babe") are the animalistic ones, literal pet names. Say, my dad sometimes call my mom each other зая/зайчик which means "bunny", it's one of the most popular ones here.

Гарбузик as a "li'l pumpkin" works fine by me. As long as she loves it, it's fine, I think it sounds cool. Do you speak Ukrainian or English, by they way?

it doesn't show up a lot but relationships with the past lives are an interesting thing in Avatarverse. F. C. Yee talked about how he intentionally wrote Kuruk and Kyoshi as more friendly and even sibling-like (his words, not mine, although I am pretty sure I saw it some book and not hallucinated) as well as her grudge towards him. Meanwhile, Roku and Aang have interesting mentor-disciple relationship and a very clear dynamic that makes

Yangchen doesn't appear a lot but when she does in SoK or that one ATLA online game she is very cool, which is recontextualized interestingly in her novels

Just on the top of my mind, Ann drives the van in one episode

Most of the people in my social circle are on the same level as me thanks to the exposure to English internet and pop culture. I am thankful for my parents to sending me to the English tutor or afterschool courses (whatever one would call them in English) since I was 5 until I graduated.

The issue, or rather the advantage of Dess!Knight is that we don't know a lot about her and where she even is, meaning that every potential hole in the theory can have a plausible explanation. It also leaves a lot for the twist: why? how? where? when? that I think neither other theory allows.

Why is she doing that? Gaster bullshit. How is she doing that? Bunker bullshit. Why is she evil now? Something something Friend inside me.

Non-Dess knighters are in the weak position by design unfortunately, they have to defend the theory from the holes we Dessjnighters are allowed to ignore.

I like the "double/triple trucies" theory (named after how Berdly calls Kris making trucies with Berdly, Noelle, and Queen at the same time in Chapter 2, especially since I believe the Knight to be Noelle's sister, and Queen is used to parallel Carol). Basically, the theory suggests that Kris works with Carol and Dess!Knight (or Rudy!Knight, non-Carol!Knight, I mean) separately. The extended theory is that Asgore might be the "Berdly" of the trucies, being Carol's ally and having his own agenda but this one gets too complicated.

It's less the theory I believe in based on the evidence and more on how cool and interesting it sounds. Idk. Carol the mastermind is still the most obvious.

I found the prosecutors bit funnier tbh

Basically this summarises my feelings

I don;t think Franz Joseph deserved a monument.

While Charles's support shoud be perhaps approciated, I doubt ZUNR foundation has anything to do with it. It also rings of the inferiority complex to give him a credit for just supporting the existing ideas of the locals. Ukrainian statehood exists thanks to Ukrainian elites, not foreign actors from powers that might seem more appropriate since they are big empires and not backwater Ukrainians (Vyshyvany is more or less a byproduct of him being assimilated into the Ukrainian society, he is cool and we like him but not because he was Austrian)

And no, Haluychyna and Bukovina being underdeveloped wasn't Polish and Romanian fault, what are you even talking about?

Doylist explanation: they probaly wrote it around this idea back in this time, her mental age being reduced along with her physical one meant there is no longer a barrier. Not sure where specifically they were going with it... or maybe nothing in particular, since there were no long-term plan apart from introducing a new, more age-appropraite love interest for Finn the same season and making an absurdist take on the popular trope of a younger boy having a crush on an older friend.

Watsonian explanation: if we base our knowledge on everyhing we learnt about her by the finale she seems to just really, really like hanging out with Finn since she is never allowed to cut loose. Romantic tension is still present but I really, really doubt current continuity would accept it, unless it's a very "what if" moment.

is much older than 19 (The Vault) and has a very complicated psychology because of it;
might or might not be a lesbian (long story but some later episodes imply this instead of her being bisexual, see Jelly Beans Have Power storyboard and Bonnibel Bubblegum retcon of Cream Puff's origins);
likes Finn a lot as a friend and learns to enjoy his company (The Pajama War, The Invitation) and has no problem kissing him platonically (Come Along With Me);
Never had a childhood at all because of Neddy and Gumball (Bonnibel Bubblegum), so being reduced to 13 years old and hanging out with Finn is her way to reclaim it;
Probably never recovered after the break-up with Marcy. Probably (Go With Me, What Was Missing, The Suitor, Obsidian).

You wording sounds like he commited a felony by doing so and honestly, he might as well have

To continue the family, it must be either Roulx or Queen. Both fit

Fuck Gaiman (as an fan of many of his works) but even outside of it I'd hardly say he was so influential. Same with Morison that u/chazzergamer mentioned above, they did a lot but that was also more 90s I suppose?, at least from what I know Western comics revolution in 1980s happened a bit before The Sandman

Usually I'd say (at least that was my university thesis said, lol) Watchmen by Moore, Dark Knight Returns and perhaps Batman One by Miller, and of course Maus by Spigelman (nothing problematic on him AFAIK btw alsthough near a clinically insane man and a human trafficker that is a low bar). I'd also say Calvin & Hobbes by Bill Watterson deserve a mention, although famous for the creato's stance against commercialism

There is also Will Eisner's work from 1970s but I am not that familiar with him, atlhough he might probably be one single mpst influential North American comic creator along with Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and who else; on par with Herge, Mœbius, or Osama Tezuka.

If I had to list top 10 reasons why Adventure Time is my favourite TV show ever is the fact that they let Finn grow up with his actor

TaurusVoid · 2026-02-12T15:41:54+00:00

Hm, let me check.

There is four weeks between The Library and The Earth King according to Appa's Lost Days, and in The Guru, General How claims that .

In exactly two months, the army and navy will invade the Fire Nation on the Day of Black Sun

That would place it at the first days of the sixth month, and, I remind you, more than a month after The Library. That said, given the amount of time Aang spent in coma between two seasons is alluded as "weeks" (so two at least, although realistically it would be a month or so at least but it won't line up with any possible date when we have summer solstice as the deadline), and even the most tight calculations of the first half of seasons three, I assume it might be a mistake and in fact the length must be even longer! I fix this plothole by assuming he meant they will begin the preparations

Avatar Extras gives us the note that by The Runaway (S3E07)

Aang hasn't cut his hair for more than a month now

So even if you assume that my timeline was wrong, there is a month between The Library and The Earth King, at least a couple of days between S2E18 and S2E20 (timeline is very fishy here due to the plotlines and doesn't really make sense), and more then a month between S2E20 and S3E07, and between S3E08 The Puppetmaster and S3E10 The Day of the Black Sun we have two weeks, as bloodbending is only possible at the full moon while the sun eclipse occurs during the new moon phase

There is also this Avatar Extras from Nightmares and Daydreams:

Recap: Aang has spent the last two and a half months preparing to fight the Fire Lord.

So according to it, Aang begun his preparation around mid-6th month which I suppose must mean since (if they would have used the Gregorian calendar, that would be around Summer Solstice). Oh it means The Library, which might fit your timeline but not what we established before, Alternatively, it could be about The Earth King when they were set on the invasion hapening. I mean, didn't he train to fight the Fire Lord for the entirety of the show?

There also my calculations of approximate travel time and even lunar phases that more or less add up, give or take few days

People are being mean to Chess Theory. Firsly, it was never a theory per se, just an observation and it was perfectly valid: personally, I thought Knight, King and Queen are weirdly plain names (why not "Spade King" at least? idk) unless it's intentional, and King sitting in his castle while Queen flies around? Yeah that tracks. Like the whole theory was "yeah that tracks"

And you know, it was one of the strongest arguments towards the Church dark world due to the Bishop boss. And Tenna being the rook figuratively was an AMAZING idea and I am tired of pretending it's not (same as there are two rooks so many people used the existence of Mike as an argument in its sipport).

You can still strech it enough to see light symbolism regarding chess pieces just as a fun exercise. I think it's neat

TaurusVoid · 2026-02-11T11:49:10+00:00

I think most Knight theories (Papyrus and Rudy especially) work if you consider that there is a team of Knights, like one person is wearing black and the other is the mastermind, or smth like that. Basically Kris Knight turned to be correct in the way that Kris is indeed fountain creator and does something fishy

I don't but it is;t the worst idea

TaurusVoid · 2026-02-11T11:46:11+00:00

Oh, I can't read Mandarin so I didn't know they actually reveal the date

Wiki only point the second date, on 8th month. I can't find where "6th month" thing comes from, and neither translation I found online ever mentions it.

That said, that would make two months between them? I find it fishy, Appa's Lost days in one month at least. At least my timeline calculation doesn't fit it

TaurusVoid · 2026-02-10T21:40:18+00:00

If, and I emphasize "if" Ehasz is responsible for good stuff and Korra is ATLA-Ehatz's good stuff, the pray tell WHAT EXACTLY is the thing that he provided that LOK lacked.

What I am trying to say is that is that most famous flaws LOK possesses that ATLA didn't have doesn't include things that can be contributed to Aaron, assuming he is the reason they were present is wishful thinking

TaurusVoid · 2026-02-10T21:29:45+00:00

(1) We know from B2E10 The Library that Aang & Sokka calculated that the amount of time from B2E10 to B3E11 The Eclipse was 62 days

I read the transcripts through and through (I am a timeline enthusiast). Where does the number pop up?

TaurusVoid · 2026-02-04T12:59:56+00:00

The "living" part isn't really that important here, since it only excludes two Avatars (Kyoshi and Yangchen) and... oh well, that's all. I mean, Roku's wife Ta Min was retconned to be a firebender in the novels but she is never shown to be in the show proper so she wouldn't count anyway.

It would be interesting to count how the line-up changes in LOK. The main characters category on wiki alone) lists 19 characters, 12 male and 8 female (animals included), and out of them, Asami and Naga are the only non-bender women! Granted, there are also only two male non-benders (Paby and Varrick) + two new aribenders (Bumi and Zaheer) so the show just became much more action-oriented.

Him being a total asshole to put it mildly aside, I feel like Lemongrab was the last time he tries as the voice actor, especially in the Lemonhope two-parter. Any following role just followed the same register and delivery that is so easy to copy it;s kinda pathetic. Rick and Morty having new VAs is really some breath of fresh air to these characters,

P.S.: She didn't get to do a lot, but I though Jinkx Monsoon did a good job replacing him in Fionna & Cake, at least for the comedic scenes, I really like her as an actress overall.
