Hazel: No more making fun of me when I misuse dated cultural references, alright? Are we cowabunga on this?
Leo, sighing: Fine. We’re cowabunga.

I always though Mal's mom was meant to be like "Eleanor" but they stuck an M at the start honestly, Sobbing Emoji. But "Maleanor" also makes me feel less insane since in that scene where she's just handed egg Malleus to Lilia and went to battle, it sounds more like Lilia is saying "Maleanor" than "Meleanor" (Japanese accent pending). Mayhaps they went more with what it sounded like the characters were saying :0 (we don't talk about Doodle Suit to Paint The Roses)
the transliteration of her name is Marenoa (マレノア), which is what all the voice lines are saying! all the Draconias' names start with マレ (Malleus' grandma is Maleficia/マレフィシア) as a nod to Maleficent. :D it's almost certainly a take on Eleanor, which is Erenoa (エレノア), but her name is written in English at a couple points, and I was pretty surprised to see it was Mel instead of Mal!
and, like, that's fine, it wouldn't be first Twst romanization that's tripped me up (like Keito for Cater, I know that's something to do with the loanword specific to playing cards(?) but it's just not how my brain wants to read it). but now Eng has given us Maleanor! and someone else said it was spelled inconsistently between Maleanor and Maeleanor??????? so WHO KNOWS it's a SPELLING FREE-FOR-ALL
I AM torn on which I want to use, because Mel just sounds so cute to me (and is what I'm used to now), but...the Mal consistency is kinda too good to pass up. alas, alas, truly these are the most difficult conundrums of our times. 😔

you know for all that we say book van helsing is nothing at all like popular media van helsing, i gotta say. for a man to proclaim "i shall cut off her head and fill her mouth with garlic, and i shall drive a stake through her body" and spew facts about vampires as though he's faced off against them a hundred times before, and then staying alone in a graveyard through the night to make sure a vampire doesn't get out of her tomb while knowing the bigger, badder vampire is out there and might come to visit. that's pretty hardcore. like sure he is the unhinged kindly grandpa we know and love and you never see that in the movies but also i feel like saying that's all he is undersells him by a mile and a half

Joey: What would I even do with a gun, anyway?
Pa: Shoot people, I presume.
Joey: You WANT me to go out and shoot people?
Pa: Well, no, of course I don’t want you to shoot people. But let’s face it, the Glock nine is neither a hunting rifle nor a Swiss army knife. It’s really only useful for three things; shooting people, shooting paper targets to prepare for shooting people, and ensuring your own safety… by threatening to shoot people.

Hey Sapphire!! I have a question about your Adult Webber
How did he end up getting fused with a spider? Is it sort of the same way that the normal Webber did?
Express reply for Beetle lol
In my head it started all the same as the canon but instead of kicking him out, his mother recognized his crying and they realized what happened to their only child
And his dad would be so mad!
By losing this rare spider specimen he also lost the opportunity to be somewhat relevant in the science community (and his child too). Since that day everything changed and Webber grew with little to no affection practically raising themselves, specially from his dad. The only good company being his now own spider.
But I also like to think his grandparents would try their best. Grandpa providing as much books as he could to read together developing a love for literature, also taking his father's entomology and other sciences ones and eventually finding ways to get more growing up. Such a bookworm, but what else would he do, right?
He considers himself a scientist like his dad taking every opportunity to apply everything he read. Not because he was taught.
Soooo yeah, not a good childhood
Does any of this makes sense? Not at all. It's way more logical for them to get rid of him but that's what Au's are for, right????
