Kikolo, Vatkain sekä Matti ja Teppo – Näin hykerryttäviä nimiä lapset antavat leluille

Pyysimme lukijoita kertomaan, mitä hauskoja nimiä heidän lastensa leluilla on ja miten ne ovat saaneet nimensä. Tässä parhaita paloja vastau

Yksi mikkeliläisen Hilma Kampin, 6, rakkaimmista leluista on nimeltään Kikolo.

---

Kikolo ostettiin lomamatkalla Barcelonasta Espanjasta, kun Hilma oli 2-vuotias. Hän ihastui heti notkeaan, sateenkaaren väriseen muovileluun. Hilman äidin Pirjo Tunturi-Kampin mukaan lelu sai heti nimen Kikolo. – Kotiloa sillä tavoiteltiin, mutta 2,5-vuotiaan kieli ei taipunut vaikeaan sanaan. Pihaamme vallanneet kotilot olivat kaikki "kikoloita". Hilma kertoi niistä valitettavan monelle, että meillä on paaaljon kikoloita pihalla, Tunturi-Kamppi kertoo nauraen.

---

Määgädimäi. Ihmeteltiin puolisoni kanssa pitkään, mikä tämä lapsen ainainen sanonta "määgädimäistä" on, kunnes se hänen kasvunsa myötä paljastui Spidermaniksi. Lapsi on nyt 3-vuotias, ja Spiderman on vieläkin lemppari, suosikkihahmo vaatteissa ja leikeissä.

---

Uni-Kalevi on isohko, soikea vaaleanvioletti otus. Se on ostettu kauppareissulla lähikaupasta viisi vuotta sitten. Lapsi ei osannut sanoa unikaveri, joten nimeksi tuli "hupsiksen" kautta Uni-Kalevi. Lapsi on nyt 7-vuotias, ja Uni-Kalevi nukkuu hänen vieressään.

---

Reipas mies -niminen supersankari. Se on moottoripyöräpoliisi, ensimmäisiä ostettuja figuurihahmoja. Lapsi keksi nimen varmaan 2-vuotiaana. Jostain oli tarttunut kehu reipas mies, ja sehän on kunnioittava supersankarin olemus. Lapsi on nyt 4-vuotias, ja "oikeat" supersankarihahmot, kuten Hämähäkkimies ja Lepakkomies ovat ikävä kyllä syrjäyttäneet Reippaan miehen.

---

Pojan nalle on nimeltään Kalle Narhu (sananmuunnos nallekarhusta). Seuraava nalle sai sitten nimekseen Pentti Narhu, vaikkei siitä sananmuunnosta tulekaan, mutta sukunimi vakiintui jo käyttöön.

Tost ekast tuli mieleen, ku mä sain kerran sellasesta automaatista superpallon, jossa oli jonkun jalkapalloilijan kuva ja äiti sano, et se kuvan mies "näyttää ihan gigololta" ja mä sit ymmärsin, et siinä kuvassa on siis Gigolo-niminen jalkapalloilija...

all the photos of him are like this, I love that this guy understood he had been born with the face of a wizard or axe murderer and just leaned fully into it

[special-lucky-chosen-one]

he knew EXACTLY what he was doing

Jos suomitumppu juhlis omaa "maaliskuun idusta" niin mikä se ois?

Mun ehdotus olis kyl 20. tammikuuta, eli Piispa Henrikin tappopäivä.

[varahai]

Kannatan

Kirveet jakoon!

[dreamyholmes]

Minä ja toveri @iibislintu ehdotamme kenraalikuvernööri Bobrikovin murhapäivää 16.6. koska hän on todistetusti ollut olemassa ja niin on murhaajakin.

[returquoise]

Mun ongelma Bobrikovin kanssa on, että temaattisesti meillä pitäis olla pistoolit (paitsi jos vesipistooli on hyväksyttävä vaihtoehto?), kun taas kirveen saa laillisesti ilman mitään erikoislupaa tai koulutusta.

Helpointa ois tietty jos keksitään joku puukkotappelu, jota vois juhlia.

[iibislintu]

Mites sit Isontalon Antti, Rannanjärvi ja Kauhavan ruma vallesmanni?

Tässä tosin murha jäi vain yritykseksi, mut kaikkea ei ehkä voi saada 🤔

[suklaamurot]

Saako ehdottaa Pekka Vesaista? Puolet tarinoista tarua, mutta on siellä puukot ja soihdut kädessä sissiretkillä heiluttu

reminder to worldbuilders: don't get caught up in things that aren't important to the story you're writing, like plot and characters! instead, try to focus on what readers actually care about: detailed plate tectonics

[olyia-stories]

@dragonpyre any chance you could elaborate on this

[dragonpyre]

I grew up learning about land formations. Seeing fictional maps that don’t follow the logic and science of them makes me upset

[serinos-kitt]

What are the most common sins you’ve seen relating to this? I wanna know

[dragonpyre]

Mordor.

Why is the mountain range square. How did the mountain range form. Why is there one singular volcano in the center. Why does it act like a composite volcano but have magma that acts like it’s from a shield. If it’s hotspot based volcanic activity why is there only one volcano.

And then the misty mountains!!!! Why isn’t there a rain shadow!! And why is there a FOREST where the rain shadow should be!!!!!!!!

[serinos-kitt]

So what is a rain shadow?

[lethalbutterfly]

Wind blows clouds in from the sea, but mountains are so tall the clouds can't get past 'em, so you get deserts on the windward side of mountain ranges because clouds can't get there to water the land, or do so only very rarely.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Oh yeah nothing is more annoying than fantasy maps that can't get mountains, rivers and rain shadows right.

[mindfulwrath]

May I recommend my new favorite tool: Mapgen4. You start with a random seed and then add mountains, valleys, shallow water, or oceans as you like. You can adjust the wind direction to make wind shadows off the mountains fall where you want. You can adjust overall raininess to make the rivers larger or smaller, or have more or fewer tributaries. It works best for small, isolated landmasses (think islands more than continents) but as there’s no scale bar and it’s all slightly abstracted anyway you can do whatever you want with it. I’ve only just started playing with it but it’s SO FUN.

[jeanjauthor]

I do think this could be useful for writers! ...Caveat, if you're going to use this for making a map for anything published (digital or paper, even if it's only in a fanfic archive or whatever), please, please credit the creator and their program as how you made that map! The more ways information like this gets out there, the more useful it'll be to other writers, roleplaying game DMs/GMs, creators, etc.

[oh-opossum]

One of my favourites for mapping plates, biomes, etc is Tectonics.js. If you're familiar with how tectonics shape a planet, you can guess where the features go by toggling plates, crust thickness, etc. Between Mapgen4 and Tectonics.js, we've got some pretty sweet tools at our disposal.

Also I would recommend looking into Landscape Archaeology as well! That's because Landscape archeology is basically adding the social/cultural layer on top of all that geology and geography. Environments change when communities live in them, and communities likewise adapt to various environments.

This is a short free introduction to the concept: "Notes on Landscape Archaeology." To summarize, Landscape archaeology sort of like...studies the relation of people to places/spaces (that is, landscapes) in time.

Also this paper [An Archeology of Landscapes] breaks down/introduces the key concepts that I learned which is first that you can form the "construct paradigm" of a landscape from settlement ecology, ritual landscapes, and ethnic landscapes.

And then the highlights of their summary of what constitutes defining a landscape:

Landscapes are not synonymous with natural environments. Landscapes are synthetic (Jackson, 1984, p. 156), with cultural systems structuring and organizing peoples’ interactions with their natural environments ...

Landscapes are worlds of cultural product ... Through their daily activities, beliefs, and values, communities transform physical spaces into meaningful places. ...

Landscapes are the arena for all of a community’s activities. Thus landscapes not only are constructs of human populations but they also are the milieu in which those populations survive and sustain themselves. A landscape’s domain involves patterning in both within-place and between-place contexts ...

Landscapes are dynamic constructions, with each community and each generation imposing its own cognitive map on an anthropogenic world of interconnected morphology, arrangement, and coherent meaning ...

Basically a "landscape" is made by a community living in an environment. Once you have a geological environment that makes sense, landscape archaeology is like... Basically how I feel confident knowing where trade routes would be on a map, where there are areas of continual high conflict, what kinds of agriculture exists where, etc. once the geological stuff is hammered out, it's like...I know how that would influence the local cultures and vice versa. At that point, it's easy to start marking the natural borders, settlements, trade/port cities, and even strategic fortresses. If you have properly put rivers on a map, then marking your port cities is effortless, basically.

Also:

This course syllabus for a Landscape Archaeology class is freely accessible. It includes an online resources page.

Place, Landscape, and Environment: Anthropological Archaeology in 2009

(Landscape Biographies is open access, as is Landscape Archaeology between Art and Science: From a Multi- to an Interdisciplinary Approach. But I wouldn't try to read every essay.)

If you are like me and find it helpful to have video reference for a process/activity in addition to a written guide, Artifexian is a YouTube channel that does a LOT of world building stuff and specifically he's in the process of creating a world following a lot of Worldbuilding Pasta's methodology!

Okei oottekste nähny tän elokuvan?

Joo

Ei

Voting ended onFeb 7

Koska siis itse en ollu edes kuullu tästä ennen vaan katsoin tän mielenkiinnosta vasta vuosi sitten (ehkä johtuu mun iästä? en ollu vielä syntyny kun tää tuli). Mutta siis kiinnostaa et kuuluiko tää leffa muiden lapsuuteen (vai onko mulla vaan ollut aukko sivistyksessä), sillä meillä on muuten kyllä katottu paljon suomalaisii lastenelokuvia.

Redditistä ketjusta, jossa aseksuaali kirjoitettiin jatkuvasti "a-seksuaali":

[tocif]

i just wanted you guys to know theres a porn parody of the force awakens and just when this storm trooper dude starts feeling this bitch up, kylo came in and started doing his usual tantrum shit in the background unprovoked, meanwhile oblivious to all thats happening and let me tell you no porn has ever cut me so off guard and brought me to tears in .01 seconds until now

[transgriffin]

I found it. I watched it. Yup, he beat that stormtrooper up for no reason at all.

Enjoy the tantrum end scene as well <3

Kylo: *sees innocent wall*

*goes HAM on it, screaming*

This was made by fans who understand The Kylo on a spiritual level

[faintedincoils]

Okay but y'all have to understand. Kylo got upset because he tried to do his little mind control thing on Rey and she resisted it. So he steps out, tells a random stormtrooper to guard her, and then proceeds to go wail on that guy in the next room while Rey and the stormtrooper get it on.

Rey finishes, takes the Stormtrooper’s gun, and leaves. Kylo comes back into the room, find out the stormtrooper let her escape, and force chokes him possibly to death. Then he steps outside of the room and has that second temper tantrum that we see up there. And that’s the end. I’m dying. I’m ace and sex repulsed so I don’t do porn for porn’s sake, but I love a good parody!

There's a scene in very early 60's Doctor Who where a character falls into a swamp, I think, and they throw not a rag doll, but a card board cut out of the actor. 10/10 they don't make 'em like this no more
