Just realized how many absolutely banger characters had daddy issues.

Roma Montagov, Cardan Greenbriar, Orion Hong, Oliver Hong, Rosalind Lang, Celia Lang and Wylan Van Eck alike.

Don't know if we can count August Shenzhi since Kasa wasn't really his dad and they didn't technically have issues, just that August thought Kasa had to clock out.

(Had to edit this one because for some reason I forgot literally every character in FLF- listen, hear me out, it was like 1 AM.)

Something about August Shenzhi is just so lovable.

Yes, he's corrupt.

Yes, he'd be a bad monarch.

Yes, he's an emotional brick (but secretly obsessed with Galipei.)

Yes, he's ruthless, powerhungry, and will stop at nothing to get what he wants (unless it includes harming Galipei, I'm sure.)

Yes, he's not a saint, nor a good guy, in any form or fashion.

Yet I still love him for some reason, and loved reading his povs during IL <3

Happy Birthday Chloe!!

Happy 25th! 🤍🤍

Vilest Things

I haven't actually read vilest things yet, but to my knowledge there is no exclusive content. I have the fairyloot edition, but I didn't find any in there. If anyone knows where some might be, feel free to let me know if you would like! I'd love to add to the compilation I have here.

Chloe Gong Character's Names + Their Meaning

We all know Chloe picked the names based off Shakespeare- but it's also possible she picked them based off what they meant.

Here is a list of names and their meaning!

(Some of these definitions were picked that best suited the characters/ were taken out of a much larger definition. Also these defintions are taken from several different cultures/origins/ countries, so the meanings may vary.)

___________________________________________

Secret Shanghai Series

Rosalind - Literally translates to "gentle horse", meaning a balance between elegance and strength.

Orion - Beyond the Greek Hunter translation (which is most likely where the code name 'Hunstman' came from) and the meaning 'Great Hunter' is derived from, more meanings are the celestial 'Rising in the Sky', 'Dawning' and 'Shining Star'. This is most likely from the constellation as well. The name in general means warrior, strength, bravery as well as a connection to the sky.

Celia - "Heavenly" (hold significance as a character from As You Like It obviously), An ideal hero: witty, fearless, independant and extraordinary- destined for great things. (Shakespeare introduced the name to the English language and giving it the definition it has today.)

WIKIPEDIA SAID BLIND FOR SOME REASON LMFAO

Oliver - "Ancestor's descendants". "olive", "olive tree" - associated with "olive tree" in peace, dignity, fruitfulness and beauty.

Phoebe - Bright or radiant- refers to the greek god of the sun, Phoebus Apollo

Silas - "Forest" or "woods", great love of the outdoors- the name inspires the image of "a daring explorer unfazed by the depths of the darkest woodland."

Roma - I am not even joking, this can translate to "One with shiny hair"- However it also can also relate to "wealth" & "prosperity"

Also a type of tomato, but, yk, that's not really a name definition

Juliette - "Youthful", a person with this name can be described that "they love their life and have eternal spirit." "shiny, sky" another definition is "downy" meaning soft/ fluffy or also "covered with fine soft hair or feathers" for some reason.

Benedikt - "Blessed" or "the blessed one." as well as "well spoken."

Marshall - "Caretaker of horses." Literally not even kidding. If read into more it can be seen as "animal lover."

Katherina - "Pure" with connotations of "tradition, beauty, and excellence." In the Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare, Katherina is depicted as fiery and spirited in contrast with the meaning of the name.

Alisa - "Great happiness" and "joy." It can also mean "noble" and "kind." The name suggests that "you give up what you want so other people can have what they need."

Lourens - Derived from the Latin word "laurentum" meaning wreathed/ crowned with laurel. The name signifies "a freedom-loving and free-spirited individual."

Surnames

Hong - In the mandarin dialect, the name translates to "rainbow", "enlarge", "great", and "expand." It can also mean "water" and "flood."

Here's a funny little story I found on it-

"Legend has it that Hong as a surname dates back to the 23rd-century b.c. to a group known as the Gonggongshi. The clan took Gong as a surname but changed the character by adding a water component to escape their enemies. Gong converted to Hong, and, thus, a new name was born."

(TheBump Baby Names - https://www.thebump.com/b/hong-baby-name)

Lang - "A passionate person with a fighting spirit" as well as "tall." It could also mean "flame."

Mai - "To sell", "to betray", "to spare no effort", and "to show off or flaunt." It could also mean "dance."

Montagov - I found absolutely nothing on this name or even 'Montagova' as it is the female version.

The closest I could find was 'Montague,' (picked especially from Shakespeare) literally meaning "pointed hill."

Cai - The name originally refers to "the tortoise used in ancient rituals of divination" in Chinese. It also means "rejoice", "happy," or "feminine." "Pure" is another defintion.

Seo - "Slowly" and "gently."

Wu - "Martial", "military", or "martial arts." It can also mean "affairs business", as well as "shaman" or "sorcerer."

Van Dijk - meaning "from (the) dike."- it's a "topographic name for someone who lived by one of the many thousands of dikes in the Netherlands."

FLESH AND FALSE GODS

Calla - "Beauty". The calla lily flower actually embodies "life, fertility, and purity."

Anton - "Priceless" or "praiseworthy." It can also mean "flower."

August - "To increase" and "great." It's derived from the name Augustus, meaning "exalted" - "(of a person or their rank or status) placed at a high or powerful level; held in high regard." and "venerable" - "accorded a great deal of respect, especially because of age, wisdom, or character."

Galipei - There is absolutely nothing on this name.

The closest I could find was the name 'Galilei', which is the surname of Galileo, so it relates to being astronomical.

SURNAMES

Tuoleimi - There is absolutely nothing on this name either.

I used 'Ptolemy' since that was where this name was derived from. It means "agressive" or "warlike."

Makusa - This name can mean "truth, reality, and genuine" as well as "pure."

Shenzi - Literally means "savage" or "barbarian."

Weisanna - I could also find nothing on this.

The closest I found was 'Weissanna', meaning "sacrifice", "innovative", and "powerful."

Author

Chloe - "Blooming" or "fertility", the literal translation refers to "young shoots of foliage that appear in the spring."

Surname

Gong - "Royal palace" in Chinese. The Mandarin form of the surname means "showing respect for elders or guests." There are many other meanings, but the surname is laden with many events in Chinese history.

I hope you all enjoyed this post! I know I haven't posted in a while but this one's been in the drafts for a good few days and I figured I'd finish it and post it. Let me know if you manage to find any more meanings to these that you think I should add. What connections can you make between these definitions and the characters?
