mw characters' Chinese names, ranked

Anya

1. 安雅 (ānyā) - Ān is a surname associated with peace while yā can be read as 'elegant' or 'crow'. very suitable for this graceful goth woman (10/10)

Curly

科里 (kēlǐ) - pretty close to Curly even if it isn't a 'real name'. bonus points for 科 being related to science (7/10)

柯里 (kēlǐ) - also close to Curly and works as a name. 柯 is a last name related to axe handles. coincidence? (8/10)

奥利安 (àolì'ān) - looks like aioli. mayo-ass name. even more cursed than Orion (-10/10)

Daisuke

大辅 (dàfǔ) - Japanese names are read according to their Chinese character's sounds, which has mixed results. this does still have the 'big helper' association at least. (3/10)

Jimmy

吉米 (jímǐ) - "lucky" + "food" (lit. rice) ... peak irony, even sounds the same (10/10)

计宓 (jìmì) - Jì is a surname that means plan or ruse. ''mì' means peaceful. 50/50 on the irony for our plotting king (6/10)

Swansea

桑夕 (sāngxī) - ''mulberry'' surname + dusk. kind of cool imagery but missing a chunk of his name. oops. (3/10)

斯旺西 (sīwàngxī) - surname Sī + ''prosperous'' + ''west''. sounds so bad. Sī is also an abbreviation for Slovakia. not sure which is worse (1/10)

It has come to my attention that licking the mystery fluid was a mistake.

If anyone needs me my eyes are spirals and I'm going to flush myself down the toilet.

Weeee.

I don't do alcohol but I'm entirely capable of feeling the emotion "I need a fucking drink"

rowing is a contact sport, and the contact is just the oar handles beating you up over and over again

one of my teammates was talking about the fact she never gets compliments about her eyes, so I jokingly said "your eyes are pretty, can I have them?" And like three other people said something along the lines of "that's so rizz".

Perhaps my autistic swag truly has captivated them.

a teammate of mine organically hit the griddy this morning with no knowledge that it was a dance or anything besides a way to warm up
