Personal Name Theory - Blog Posts

So...uh... yeah.. this thing...

I know this theory probably isn't new, but I get the feeling this fella is important.

So. Like any other person would when encountering a clearly dangerous animal, I'm gonna name it!

(Until gooseworx snatches this from my hand, tosses it out Darly Boxman Style, and throws the canonical info in my face) :>

ANYWAYS. *ahem*

I'm dubbing it (for now)

"MA."

OK, you're probably wondering why I picked this, and while I would love to write a whole essay on why this name fits with this character, I'm pretty sure you'd rather have an instant answer.

So here's my homemade list on why MA would work:

1. MA spelled backward is AM. (The main antagonist in I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream. A story that inspired TADC)

2. MA is an alternative word for Mother, and from how this is only one leg from this intriguing creature and how it's positioned, it reminds me of a big, mama spider.

3. If you add a "w" to the word "MA," you get the definition "the jaws or throat of a voracious animal." (Thank you, Google) Indicating the fact that this thing is probably dangerous.

4. Another definition of MA means "A Million Years Ago," which might suggest this thing is pretty old (virtual wise) (go to Merriam Webster)

5. It's an acronym for "Mental Age"

6. In 1829, someone used the word "MA" as a definition of "above," which honestly reminds me of this picture (Merriam-Webster)

7. And last but not least: It sounds nice and spoopy, and I'm keeping it >:]

Anyways, that's my presentation on why g̶o̶o̶s̶e̶w̶o̶r̶x̶ ̶s̶h̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶h̶i̶r̶e̶ ̶m̶- I mean, why this name fits this blorbo.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk :>
