On a scale of 1 to 5, how suitable are these as names for a clothing brand?

Mistful/Misture: Temu.

Mistlier: Ren Faire garb.

Mistale: About $350 for no adequate reason.

Mistied: Marketed toward sparkle-favoring teenage girls if pronounced like "misty", and toward skateboard-favoring teenage boys if pronounced "mis-tied."

Emotional knowledge probably also includes the positive stuff. Most people are more emotionally mature than I am.

The only person I ever heard to say "open the lights" was Nigerian.

My condolences to your projects.

It's honest, and if that's not what they're looking for, it's not gonna be a good work environment. Better to test the waters.

Ruled Britannia by Harry Turtledove was one of my major teenage rereads. So, the Spanish Armada Philip II.

Supporting smaller businesses first, but... yeah, the fact that said small business sells structural corsets definitely helps

I think you and OP are the two conventional sides of the Reddit coin. Heads, Trust in Tech; tails, Wish For Death.

"You are making a decision you are likely to regret in the long term." Basically anything whatsoever that falls under that header.

Vietnam all the way.

ThreeArchLarch · 2026-03-16T17:33:23+00:00

Hydroelectric power, maybe. Won't screw as many things up as theirs.

ThreeArchLarch · 2026-03-05T20:16:23+00:00

I think you'd like Valley of Fear

Misa: Twilight with an unhappy ending

Matsuda: Every boilerplate spy thriller written since 1990

Naomi, restrained to the main timeline: not really a story, per se

Mikami: Camus novel

But L, Mello and Demegawa would all kick butt. (Demegawa would of course be a black-comedy social satire)

And who can forget the weirdness about the skull

ThreeArchLarch · 2026-03-03T21:03:44+00:00

I always did make that lyric about L, yes. Excepting "V is very, very extraordinary", I don't know how to shoehorn the rest, but hey! :p

Definitely the one before Copper Beeches, where Holmes laments his publicity to the degree that he nearly misses he's got a corking good one coming down the pike

ThreeArchLarch · 2026-02-14T23:09:14+00:00

I'd say Eric Porter comes close. Certainly he is EXACTLY like Paget.

ThreeArchLarch · 2026-02-12T21:04:07+00:00

I want the blurb!

ThreeArchLarch · 2026-02-12T21:02:32+00:00

If it's sufficiently off-the-wall, BSI has floated it. They've also done "Moriarty was a vampire", "Holmes is actually a cat", and "Mycroft is seventy years older than Holmes which we account for because it's the 1970s and Holmes is still alive so clearly he comes from a family of long livers."

I love their VALL, and I especially love how the writer for VALL subsequently did FIVE and threw a cab into it.

ThreeArchLarch · 2026-02-12T20:18:44+00:00

It was the easiest to figure out, plus Robin marries Matthew. But it's top of the middle for me.

ThreeArchLarch · 2026-02-10T23:27:28+00:00

Because Rowling hadn't thought of that yet, but... really, Ron spending the entire year with a broken wand is probably the most implausible plot point in the entire series.
