Sorry, we localized your boyfriend. Yeah. A lot of his character got lost in translation. Had to change his name to one that would make sense to a western audience too. My deepest apologies.
monarchy has no real purpose and should be abolished irl but im a slut for royal families in fiction. the politics. the intrigue. families divided by the eyes of a nation. the pressure of children told from birth that they are born to rule, born for only one purpose. the stifling of empathy and real bonds and love. the loneliness when all eyes are on you. it’s so inherently tragic and yet everyone involved is terrible because that’s all they can be. gimme.
Royals are an extremely useful literary device, in any number of genres or consent-free smut but are really terrible in real life
you ever think about how “mountain dew” is a really poetic name and how, if someone didn’t know what it was, they’d probably guess “some herbal tea made from the finest leaves of the Alps”. but instead, it’s just, radioactive gamer soda
adding “mountain dew” into my list of elven names alongside “morningwood”

I’m sorry this post got stuck in my head.
Imagine meeting an elf and asking their name. They get a frustrated look on their face and say “ah, it is too hard for your tongue to say. It translates to something like ‘The last dew on the mountain as the sun rises above the forest’… but that is a mouthfull, yes? Lets see… you may call me “MountainDew MorningWood.”
The only obvious response is to call them Dewey
