I Think A Lot Of The Strange Sounding Cavalier Names Come From Numeral Prefixes Which Come From Sanskrit

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?

honestly lockwood & co would have ended at least 10 times over if the entire main cast weren’t 1) chronic rule breakers, and 2) borderline arsonists

I love Anthony Lockwood because every time his team think they're fucked he's like "or... are we?" as he gets some explosives out of his pockets

i’m also ace and while i get where you’re coming from with not grouping queer ppl in with ppl who may be oppressors, you are entirely missing the point here. the word allosexual contains absolutely no connotation that the person you are calling allo is an oppressor, and also your distinction of all queer ppl as allies and all cishets as oppressors is stupid. i’ve had cishet friends who were incredibly supportive of my asexuality, and i’ve also known queer people who were aphobic. you’re joining the idiots who call simple descriptors like cis and allo slurs for no reason and also creating unnecessary conflict where it doesn’t actually exist

as an entire queer trans allosexual i think it's weird when other allosexuals don't like the term allosexual for themselves. it just means not asexual. smacks of cis people who scream and howl and pee their pants about being called cis

yeah i personally have always thought of the ship as like rivals to friends to lovers, where beacon arc is like ruby constantly insisting on being friends with weiss, and weiss gradually warming towards her because of it, then the the romantic subtext comes later, in like volumes 6-8

I really enjoy Whiterose as a ship, but I do wish more of the FNDM surrounding it weren't so invested in their V1 characterizations.

Ruby and Weiss have both grown so much and honestly its as they are now that I love the idea of a romance between them.

Weiss has become a lot kinder and wiser, while still being able to get a bit prissy and bent out of shape.

Ruby has had more burdens to be sure, but has also grown smoother and more confident in how she carried herself.

Both still have a lot of their original energy, when Ruby is in a good space she can be very bouncy and Weiss can be quite regal, but there's more to them than "Puppy X Tsudere" and I wish we saw more of that.
