Madrigal Name Meanings

If someone has done this before, credit to them and also if anyone notices any inaccuracies please feel free to point them out :)

Mirabel - meaning wondrous/of wondrous beauty, stemming from the Latin word mirabilis (reminds me of ‘my bell’, or my beloved etc and that was cute, even though that isn’t the meaning)

Isabela - “god’s promise”, meaning derived from the Greek Elisabet, which is derived from the Hebrew name Elisheva meaning ‘my god is an oath’

Luisa - famous (female) warrior, from Old High German

Dolorés - sorrowful, lady of sorrows (I think this is so interesting because of the likely burden and sadness/isolation her gift can bring)

Camilo - helper to the priest, noble, free-born child (I think it’s slightly reminiscent of the word chameleon though)

Antonio - flourishing, Greek origin (I’m so glad this suits him perfectly)

Bruno - from German, meaning brown; a very traditional and common name amongst different languages (I would love this to have another meaning I haven’t seen yet, but then I guess the contrast between his very traditional name and his gift, which is so unique etc)

Julieta - youthful, love’s child (I think this is lovely - symbolising the love of Alma and Pedro)

Pepa - a nickname given for names such as Pepita, coming from Josefina or Josefa - meaning god shall add or the lord increases

Alma - the soul, can also mean nourishing from Latin but the Spanish meaning is said to be the soul (Alma is referred to as the centre of casita etc, or the soul of the family throughout the film so I enjoy this meaning)

Pedro - Spanish equivalent to Peter, meaning stone or rock

Félix - meaning lucky/fortunate (I think this is so cute and suits him so well)

Agustín - meaning great, magnificent, venerable; from the Latin verb “to increase” (I agree bc he’s my himbo king, but also with theories about him being a businessman or something similar before he met Julieta fits with this as he may be from a very proper family who gave him a name they hoped would fit his future. I enjoy the contrast with what the name meaning initially conjures and his family-orientated, less “grand” lifestyle, which is obvs great in a possibly different way)

AU where Bruno left, but he still lives in town. The family pretends he was never part of the family and doesn't acknowledge him much. Mirabel doesn't know that he's her tío, but has been told not to talk with him, but he's kinda talked about as a con artist who pretends to read ppl's future and she just finds it fun so she hangs out in his house pretty regularly without telling her family. At first Bruno tries to respect the family's wishes by turning her away, but then she kinda opens up about how lonely she feels at home and he feels for her, so he just let her hang around

Luisa: well well well if it isnt the emotions I said I would deal with later.

Mirabel: Are you okay?

Luisa: Absolutely not but instead of unpacking any of it lets just throw away the entire suitcase

*Opens Google to check if sheep can get sunburn*

*30 minutes later realise that haven't looked up anything about sheep cuz I immediately forgot and spent the past half hour learning about moths cuz I wanted to know what their hair is made of*

[trickstertime]

By the way, sheep CAN get sunburn just after they've been shaved and a moth's hair is not hair like ours and is actually more similar to really long scales. Did you know some moths don't even have mouths? Wild

[trickstertime]

Ah. Yea. Fair

Do you have any recommendations for interesting wlw relationships in media? Lots of them seem super minor or irrelevant in their source material

in . . . in all of media? Uuuuuh, alright, yeah, buy my book

[theroguefeminist]

i haven’t heard the word “cyberstalking” in a long time but it used to be a recognizably bad thing to stalk someone online, to try to dig up everything you can on them, follow their every move online, obsessively post about them, barrage them with messages, block evade, etc - but now it’s just normalized and seen as something totally “ok” to do if the person in question is “problematic” in some way - like the same people who say “if your partner does this run” will turn around and do the same thing to a stranger online they dont even know and they don’t even think twice - it’s abuse, it’s harassment… just stop it

[handsaniti]

Cyber 👏 stalking 👏 isn’t 👏 activism 👏 it’s 👏 harassment

[kamlo]

i never see positivity for us so: if you had bad grades, dropped out, or cheated your way through school i love you so much and you deserve the world <3

[kamlo]

did yall know you can reblog this without tagging it with "i was a gifted kid but-"/"i was in honors and never cheated but-"/etc.?

did you know you can just reblog positivity for people who did shitty in school without mentioning how you did well in school?

[cuntess-carmilla]

I see (and agree with) your “you’re one bad month away from becoming homeless (so start redirecting your loyalty from billionaires to the working class)” and I raise you a “you’re one accident, one insect sting, one sudden mysterious illness, one virus from becoming permanently disabled (so start redirecting your sympathy from the able-bodied class to the disabled)”.

[cuntess-carmilla]

It’s nearly impossible for a person to reach old age and not be at least mildly disabled. Start caring about disability rights NOW.

op: let ppl ship what they want, it’s fictional! 

me: that’s fair 

op: so it’s ok to ship inc*st and p*dophilia 

me:

[l0verseyes]

i immediately lost 5 followers after this lmao thank god

[queenbean03-deactivated20180909]

When I say “let people ship what they want” I mean stuff like silly crack ships or crossover ships or shipping OCs with canon characters. Incest and pedophilia ships are always shit.

[queer-as-frikc]

wow i lost like 7 followers after this it’s crazy that people actually ship inc*st and p*dophelia

[maddestwomanthistownhaseverseen]

TUA Fandom listen up

[cheese-greater-official]

Oop y’all can just unfollow me rn if you ship that shit :)

[kengi-bengi-alt]

Unfollow me if you ship that

[beloved-innit-moved-deactivated]

Unfollow me and block me if you ship pedo\inc*st ships

[peachdoxie]

This makes me cry, actually.

[thesharpestlance]

Just to add on. Libraries in many cities have 3d printers you can use that charge you only the price of materials. So if you can't wait for the shipping from the engineers, try your local library.

[image id a post by David Richards that reads:

For anyone who isn't on Tiktok, I wanted to share a story.

1 week ago, a Tiktok user with Parkinsons posted a video expressing anger over how tiny the pills for treating Parkinsons are because it makes them really difficult to pick up when someone has something like, you know, Parkinson's.

4 days ago a guy who directs country music videos for a living, and was previously most famous on Tiktok for knowing obscure facts about Snappple, taught himself how to use Fusion 360 (a design and modeling tool) so he could design a pill bottle that solves the problem.

Problem was though that he didn't own a 3D printer so he posted a video of his design and offered to share schematics with anyone who wanted to test it and or improve upon it. All schematics are open source. 3 days ago, dozens of engineers and 3D printer enthusiasts had begun working on the project and started refining and tweaking to get tolerances where they needed to be and ensuring that it actually met the needs of those it was being designed for.

13 hours ago, there is a working prototype, it has "less plastic than your average McDonald's toy, and should be priced as such". The original designer has gotten a patent attorney to ensure it remains open source and the patent itself will be donated to the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

In the mean time, for anytime who needs one now and doesn't want to wait until the manufacturing in scale begins, they can get one at cost from the engineers printing them at home.

(Edit: I have put a link to the link tree for Brian Alldridge, the guy who first designed the bottle, in the comments. The first 2 entries are links to info on the bottle.) /End id]
