I recently made something like a memorial for a dear to me website that is now dead. I know there are a few people from Toonator lurking in here, just thought yall might like this thing haha. There's also a "comment" section at the bottom of the page so you can read other people's experiences with that website, also feel free to share your own!!
Even if you have no idea what Toonator was, i think it would be an interesting read from internet history perspective :^)
Here's the link
thinking about toriel trying to encourage kris out of the house this day. and carol calling before hand, confirming noelle is going to go. thinking about how this isnât the first time carol has had this horrible phone call
Someone helped me translate this comic! It's the second one in the series- the first comic hasn't been translated yet, but it's not too important for understanding the story. You can read it here:

we as a society do not deserve queen deltarune. why the fuck is she not inescapable within this fandom. i like tenna just fine but she deserved what he got
Thereâs a theory that early Europeans started saying âbrown oneâ or âhoney-eaterâ instead of âbearâ to avoid summoning them, and similarly my friend has started calling Alexa âthe faceless womanâ because saying her true name awakens her from her slumber
English has an avoidance register used in the presence of certain respected animals, which sounds fancy until you realize itâs spelling out w-a-l-k and t-r-e-a-t in front of the dog.
Iceland does! They are the illhveli, literally âevil whalesâ, and they live to kill you. They love nothing more than killing and eating humans and sinking their ships. Their greatest enemy is the steypireydur (thatâs blue whale to you), which is the greatest of the good whales and the protector of sailors.
All evil whales are, well, evil. So evil that if you speak their name at sea, they will hear it and home in on you. So instead you use all sorts of euphemisms for their names. Also if you try to cook their meat it literally disappears from the pot. Thatâs right, theyâre so evil, you canât even eat them.
They include such types as the hrosshvalur (horsewhale), with big eyes and a red mane and tail. This is probably the best known and most feared of the lot.
The raudkembingur (redcomb) is especially cruel and bloodthirsty even by illhveli standards. If you manage to escape it, it will die of frustration.
Good luck escaping the mushveli (mousewhale) though, it has legs! And will clamber onto the beach in pursuit!
Or what about death from above? The stökkull (jumper) leaps high into the air and pile-drives boats to pieces.
Meanwhile the skeljungur (shellwhale) sits in the path of boats and lets them get wrecked on its shelly hideâŠ
⊠while the sverdhvalur (swordwhale) slices through boats with its dorsal fin.
The katthveli (catwhale) is relatively harmless though. It meows.
The same canât be said of the lyngbakur (heatherback), a classic island fish that lets sailors get on its back and then dives, taking them to a watery grave.
The nauthveli (oxwhale) on the other hand specially targets cattle, attracting them into the sea with its bellow before tearing them apart.
How can you avoid all these murderous whales, like the taumafiskur (bridlefish) here? Any of a number of ways, including getting a steypireydur to help. There are substances, ranging from angelica to sheep dung and chopped fox testicles, that they find abhorrent. And you can distract them with loud noises and barrels.
For more, I assure you this link will answer all your questions.
This is also why fairies were referred to as the âGood Neighborsâ and why there are so many nicknames for Satan.
The concept of avoidance speech is endlessly fascinating and rife with plot points for writing, but honestly Iâm just thrilled about the EVIL WHALES.
