Current list of names I’m considering for potential future Santiago Seif child
Chaima/Shayma (شيماء)
Fairuz (فيروز )
Lulwa (لولوة )
Nafisa (نفيسة) <-- that Arabic might not be right/most common??
Rahima (Arabic: رحيمة )
Safiyyah (Arabic: صفية)
Suha (سُهَا)
I found Qistina, which looks potentially like it’s not really a name? But it means justice. I mean. Fuck. If JK can call a next-gen kid Victory, can these two get away with Justice???
Guys, imagine how incredibly fucked off future-Thomas is of being the shoulder to cry on when Jess or Dario get told to sleep on the sofa XD
I mean who’s the alternative though? Glain? Ha. Wolfe? Possibly worse, in a different way.
Santi is probably the best bet, but he’s double their age and probably had all these fights before and they really don’t want to be told that they’re in the wrong, or that they Just Need To Talk To Her.
so they come and crash at Thomas’, and eventually he just stops answering his door after midnight.
The other day, after watching Crimson Peak for the first time, I woke up with a fully-fleshed idea for a Gothic horror story about experience design. And while the story would take place in the past, it would really be about the future. Why? Because the future itself is Gothic. First, what is Gothic? Gothic …
“The important thing to remember about most Gothic stories, as we tiptoe down the darkened hallways of our Gothic future, is that they often have happy endings. Justice is served. The heroine survives, her eyes opened and her agency confirmed.
But first, the house must burn down.“
...the future is necessarily monstrous: the figure of the future, that is, that which can only be surprising, that for which we are not prepared, you see, is heralded by species of monsters. A future that would not be monstrous would not be a future; it would already be a predictable, calculable, and programmable tomorrow. All experience open to the future is prepared or prepares itself to welcome the monstrous arrivant, to welcome it, that is, to accord hospitality to that which is absolutely foreign or strange, but also, one must add, to try to domesticate it, that is, to make it part of the household and have it assume the habits, to make us assume new habits. This is the movement of culture.
