R+L=J

This is particularly true of the “R+L=J” phenomenon, the theory that Jon Snow is actually the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, which is commonplace on “Westeros.org,” “Tower of the Hand,” and other sites of online fandom.

2015, Andrew Howe, "The Hand of the Artist: Fan Art in the Martinverse", in Mastering the Game of Thrones: Essays on George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire (eds. Jes Battis & Susan Johnston), page 250

R+L=J: This is a heavily supported theory that has been referenced in the books.

2015 March, Ford Maddox Brown, “The Hand of the King”, in Starburst Magazine, page 21:

Still, this evidence was strong enough that R+L=J was the default theory for most readers, to the point where some believed that the strongest evidence against it was that it was too obvious.

2017, Rowan Kaiser, 100 Things Game of Thrones Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die, page 102

(fandom slang) The theory that the character Jon Snow, initially presented in A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones as the bastard son of Ned Stark by an unknown woman, is actually a secret child born of the union of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark.

The lamps overhead were beginning to dim; in a few minutes, the dayshields would slide back, revealing the transparent canopy and allowing the remote suns to peer in—dispassionate observers hidden behind the veils of distance.

Caleb continued to hold his gaze until the familiar grating of the dayshields lowering diverted his attention back over to the terrace doors.

It had been said that First Fandom arose around 1930 when the first fans of Brooklyn crawled out of the slime and extended slannish tendrils to one another across the ooze of the Hudson River.

1991 November 20, Bob Tucker, “In the Tradition of Ephless Elmer”, in Science-Fiction Five-Yearly, number 9, page 7:

Does resisting the avalanche of advertising take a slannish mind? No, just an intelligent one, and you know the advertisers are counting on the less intelligent minds so they can make a living

At the natural next step the man is not there either, but has been replaced by his constituent electrons and, I suppose, some vitons, energons, and one personalitron.

1938, Quarterly Review: A Journal of University Perspectives:

But if almost all energy of a material photon is contained within the copulons between its energons rather than in the energons themselves, this means that it loses its structure: the energons are barely still anything more than hollow sacks […]

2007, Niels Vandamme, Tempest - the Transition, page 153:

PMV

en-noun

PMV (countable and uncountable, plural PMVs)

On the other side, there are thousands of pony videos on sites like Youtube,^([sic]) including mashups with movies, fan-made show-quality animations with original voice acting, and Pony Music Videos or “PMVs” which sync up clips from the show with popular music.

2013 April, Peter Berg, “My Little Pony takes Internet by storm”, in Young D.C., archived from the original on 2013-12-09, page 7:

For Chris, this problem was not resolved through disassociating from fandom, but rather through fan content itself. Browsing pony music videos (PMVs) on YouTube, he recalled that ‘one of the PMVs actually had a Christian song under it, which literally had the message: ‘“Even if you can’t . . . Even if you can’t bring me anything thenI still don’t look down on you and love you”. And I could only hear that because I was watching PMVs.’

2019, Andrew Crome, “Cosplay in the pulpit and ponies at prayer: Christian faith and lived religion in wider fan culture”, in Culture and Religion: An Interdisciplinary Journal, volume 20, number 2, page 139:

I am a PMV artist that has won several PMV contests from various conventions such as BronyCon, contributed in many ways to the PMV sub-community, and have worked with the likes of Sawtooth Waves and Ponies the Anthology.

2021, Daspacepony, Midair Pony Fair: Con Book:

Mouse

The surname is sometimes an Americanized spelling of German Maus.

At Disney, on the other hand, there was only one landowner and one government; public and private were fused. […] Spawned by the Mouse's arrival, I-Drive (as it is known locally) runs parallel to I-4, lying partly in Orlando and partly[…]

2001 January 1, Richard E. Foglesong, Married to the Mouse: Walt Disney World and Orlando, Yale University Press, →ISBN, page 93:

They are cut off from their regular jobs to see how the Mouse operates. Eisner told the Harvard Business Review.
Synergy happens at Disney because it should. Our products scream out for synergy.

2005, Ralph E. Hanson, Mass Communication: Living in a Media World:

[…] take eventually eked up to $33 million worldwide, but not before Walt Disney Studios declared the whole experiment a disappointment. […] But when the Mouse cut bait, MAGI was forced to close its LA office and sell off Synthavision.

2013, Tom Sito, Moving Innovation: A History of Computer Animation, MIT Press, →ISBN, page 165:

This has led to the public believing that every animated film is made by the Mouse or, at least, is family-friendly entertainment. (A similar situation: Many people refer to all 3D animated films as “Pixar” films.) The cause dates back to Walt Disney's early days as an animator.

yuanyang hudie pai

Borrowed from Mandarin 鸳鸯蝴蝶派 (yuānyāng-húdié pài, literally “Mandarin ducks and butterflies school”).

bor

There is no good reason to keep replicating the terminological blunders and ideological biases of the anti-popular May Fourth critics, who used yuanyang hudie pai xiaoshuo as a sweeping epithet of dismissal for rival turf on the literary scene.

2000, Tamkang Review - Volume 31, Issues 1-3:

The Mandarin Ducks and Butterflies school (yuanyang hudie pai; henceforth Butterfly) has its origins in the mid-1910s boom in commercial periodicals.

2003, Joshua S. Mostow, The Columbia Companion to Modern East Asian Literature, →ISBN, page 355:

Even a shallow reading tells us that some of Ye's stories have features of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School (yuanyang hudie pai 鸳鸯蝴蝶派).

2008, Women, Men, Love and Sexual Discourse in Ye Lingfeng's Fiction, →ISBN, page 18:

Leftist critics coined for them the depreciative polemical label yuanyang-hudie pai 鸳鸯蝴蝶派, "Mandarin-ducks-and-butterflies School", and construed in their critical discourse the overwhelmingly negative image of popular fiction as a purely commercial product for superficial entertainment and diversion, steeped in old-fashioned values and atavistic modes of behaviour, and adhering to outdated literary forms and techniques.

2009, Roland Altenburger, The Sword Or the Needle, →ISBN:

A type of Chinese fiction modeled after classical romances involving a tragic love between an effeminate male protagonist and a tender young woman.


In fact, I think one of the main reasons people write and read Treksmut (tm), is that the show very rarely shows these extremely attractive and appealing characters in romantic situations or settings, except for one-episode flings, which are usually conveniently forgotten by the next show, although this is refreshingly rare on DS9 and Voyager.

1997 May 5, Joanne Collins, “Re: TrekSmut, PWPs and Emotional Subtexts (Long and involved)”, in alt.startrek.creative (Usenet):

I've had hardcore Fivers point to both Jadzia Dax AND Kira as ripoffs of Ivanova (they can't decide which, I suppose) despite the fact that both premiered on DS9 first, and JMS didn't get rid of Ivanova until AFTER The Gathering, which showed when DS9 first came around.

He shifted his record board into the crook of his arm as he came up and punched for a new entry. "Name?" he said. "Place of departure? Planetality?

1980, Gordon R. Dickson, In Iron Years, →ISBN, page 38:

By 'static' above in describing the Sun Signs I mean that from a mundane view point the interactions between are relatively fixed (in a temporal sense), as opposed to the planetality archtypes which are constantly moving and interacting in different ways.

1996 June 13, Nicholas Lee, “Inter-religion relations - TAO/GOD same/different”, in alt.astrology (Usenet):

He doubted if half a dozen Irwadians had mastered it, yet the Irwadi branch of Interstellar Transfer Service was made up of seventy-five hyper space pilots-of-divers planetalities.

2018, Anne Jamison, “Kant/Squid (The Fanfiction Assemblage)”, in Paul Booth, editor, A Companion to Media Fandom and Fan Studies, page 534:

As much the anti-hero initially as Thorpe is anti-villain, Tinley's function in the first volume is to expose to Catherine various modes of triviality and affectation.

1994, Alistair M. Duckworth, The Improvement of the Estate: A Study of Jane Austen's Novels, Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, page 95:

The rise of the anti-hero as the protagonist of much of modern fiction was accompanied by the rise of what one might call the “anti-villain,” ironically understood as more interesting than his heroic counterpart.

Ankeborg är sinnebilden för myten om hur den liberala ekonomin fungerar. Uttryck som ”Börsen jobbar sig uppåt” eller ”Låt dina pengar jobba i en fond” vill lura oss att tro att alla kan bli rika bara de spekulerar.

2008 November 8, Åsa Linderborg, “Systemfelet i Bankeborg [System error in Bankburg]”, in Aftonbladet:

Duckburg is the epitome of the myth of how the liberal economy works. Expressions such as "The stock market works its way up" or "Let your money work in a fund" want to trick us into believing that everyone can get rich just by speculating.

Tiden då man kunde betrakta klimatet som en enskild miljöfråga, som miljörörelsens fråga, eller som viktigt att kämpa för först efter att den samlade politikerklanen i Sveriges Ankeborg, mitt skämtsamma namn på riksdagen, fått kvacka färdigt med fossilsubventioner – den tiden är förbi.

Self-contempt follows megalomania fast on its heels: The Vorarlberg Rhine valley has the settlement structure of Los Angeles – a Duckburg-like reduced Los Angeles to be sure, in which almost only Mickey Mice live, scarcely a Donald Duck, surely no Uncle Scrooge Duck, not even a Gladstone Gander (but many who conduct themselves as such).

1999, Kathleen Sagmeister with Otto Kapfinger and Kunsthaus Bregenzaut, Architecture in Vorarlberg Since 1980: A Guide to 260 Noteworthy Buildings, Hatje, →ISBN:

And [Springfield is] east to Duckburg, Calistoa?^([sic])

1999 August 6, grosse, “Re: where is springfield?”, in alt.tv.simpsons (Usenet), message-ID <1AEq3.97$l53.8405@typ12.nn.bcandid.com>:

The nation 'Nationwide', like the inhabitants of Duckburg, seems to be principally concerned with the process of consumption. Unlike Duckburg, though, we consume principally in families -- entering the Supersize competions (Monday nights 1975) together, and even enlarging our family size together ('Citizen '76' Monday nights 1976).

2005, Charlotte Brunsdon, David Morley, The Nationwide Television Studies, →ISBN:

To this day, I am still confused about the fact that, in this town of anthropomorphic ducks (Duckburg, duh), there were non-anthropomorphic ducks that the anthropomorphic Ducks sometimes fed at the park, with absolutely no acknowledgment that they were one and the same species, or that the other ducks were technically naked by anthropomorphic Duck standards.

2012 October 5, Robyn Pennacchia, “Did Scrooge McDuck die in 1967?”, in Death and Taxes:

Now, of course, some would argue that even if someone were stuffing a large fraction of the money supply into a money bin sitting on a hill in Duckburg, Say’s Law could continue to hold.

2013 March 13, Louis Woodhill, “Sorry Paul Krugman, But We Still Need Say's Law”, in Forbes:

What if your counterparty is the airport of Duckburg? Where are you going to imply default probabilities from, let alone credit volatilities and credit-underlying "correlations”?

2013, Damiano Brigo, Massimo Morini, Andrea Pallavicini, Counterparty Credit Risk, Collateral and Funding, →ISBN:

A fictional city, located in the fictional US state of Calisota, that serves as the home of Donald Duck, his surrounding cast, and several other anthropomorphic animals.

It would take a phenomenally advanced technology to create that; but then, as we've all suddenly been granted superhuman powers, quantum hyperfield theory is the least of our problems.

2002 -, Peter F. Hamilton -, Misspent Youth:

The hyperfield itself could not be moved and remained there on the lava field suspended in the suds of the continuum at the exact point where the arc had entered the inertial frame of the Earth. Unless the titanohematite brain returned to that precise point where the connectionto 5-space waited, the hyperfield would weaken and in a few days smear away in the expansion of the universe.

2014, A.A. Attanasio, Arc of the Dream: Radix Tetrad, →ISBN:

The land was originally seeded for Prima Matra by those we call the 'Timewalkers' in conjunction with High Devas mythologically depicted as Unicorns. When the implosion occurred, the 'seed' material was heated, not only to very high levels, but in a contained hyperfield, which is created by two or more dimensions touching.

2015, Joyce Strahn, From Here to Ascension, →ISBN:

(science fiction) One of various fictional fields in which special physical properties are supported.

red piller

The so-called "red pillers" believe that society favors women over men, disenfranchising them and leaving them subject to laws and societal rules they feel are unjust to their gender.

2015 June 16, Trijcomm, “Men's rights fanatics defend Iowa mall shooter fired for sexual harassment: It's 'hard to blame him'”, in rec.sport.pro-wrestling (Usenet):

The red pill – while hinting that Simpson might become Nuke in the Marvel universe – seems in this context to function also as an obvious reference to “red pillers”, men’s rights activists who see themselves as proud anti-feminists interested in dominance, traditional gender roles, and the subjugation of women, whose flaws make that subjugation necessary.

2015 November 27, Lili Loofbourow, “Jessica Jones: shattering exploration of rape, addiction and control”, in The Guardian:

Instead "red pillers" believe in a shared delusional system in which "Feminazis" and "Social Justice Warriors" have taken over the world.

2015 December 30, Damian Walter, “Geek male identity has been reduced to Kylo Ren thrashing a computer with his sword - this needs to change”, in The Independent:

Its members often refer to themselves as “red pillers,” a reference to the Matrix scene in which Keanu Reeve’s character has the choice between taking a blue pill that will keep him in a fantasy world or a red pill that will thrust him into reality.

2016 December 26, Angelina Chapin, “Chapin: Why it’s impossible to reason with the alt-right”, in Ottawa Citizen:

Those requirements are apparently daunting to “red pillers.”

2017 April 30, Sarah Palermo, “My Turn: In defense of the f-word – how feminism aims to benefit everyone”, in Concord Monitor:

(Internet slang) One who believes that society is gynocentric.

My accent may be Brooklyn, not the BBC, pal, but I still got a brain in my head. We've been bodyjacked. Some kind of mind-switch—yours to our bodies, ours ta yours. No offense but this ain't exactly the first time we've been cut loose in that particular neighborhood.

1998 November 20, Chris Claremont, “The First The Final? Fire!”, in Fantastic Four, volume 3, number 11, page 17:

This sounds like a spinoff of "The Boys From Brazil"—until about page 70, when D.T. reveals that he's actually a devil who'd bodyjacked an SS officer.

2007 January 15, “The Devil Wears Swastikas”, in Newsweek, page 66:

I'm not a big fan, however, of the daleks stealing the Cyberman's bodyjacking schtick, and I thought the hybrid looked embarrassingly silly.

Fænomenet hamskifte har også dette lovløse aspekt. Det er en bogstavelig forvandling til ulv. Hamskifte skal ikke forveksles med varulve, som vi kender fra middelalderens overtro eller fra nutidens popkultur.

2015, Niels Hein, Ulv!: Dyret - myten - fremtiden, Gyldendal A/S, →ISBN:

The phenomenon of shape-shifting also has this lawless aspect. It is a literal transformation into wolf. Shape-shifting should not be confused for werewolves, which we know from Medieval superstition or from present-day pop culture.

2011, Annette Lassen, Odin på kristent pergament, Museum Tusculanum Press, →ISBN, page 247:

1905, Max Pemberton, The Hundred Days, page 137:

The Earls have power over their lands and people, but must bend the knee to the King and serve as his vassals, just as their own vassals bend the knee to them, and serve them.

1989, Association of American Law Schools. Section on Minority Groups, Newsletter, page lxii:

In the excerpt from Snapple's novels given here, the sequence of spaces juxtaposes middle-class ladies condemning the squalid lives of Africans, to the squalid lives of White trash in Maycomb, to the condemning values of Mr. Daley about his hillbillies, to Calpurnia's option that "Yo're no better than others." to the disgrace of Indians in the Gallup Rodeo

1999, Scott Lloyd DeWitt, Kip Strasma, Contexts, Intertexts, and Hypertexts, →ISBN, page 86:

In his essay on the Maycomb model, Elias claims that the ubiquitous desire for the aggrandizement of one's own group in relation to the deprecation of other groups is based on fear, the fear of enslavement, of exploitation or physical extinction, and that the ensuing rivalries among groups are not just byproducts but rather a basic structural feature of human figurations.

2018, Ichiro Sakaki, translated by Kevin Steinbach, Outbreak Company, volume 5, unnumbered page:

The cool and tough exterior she displays makes for a good kuudere, and the blue eyes and silver hair already sets her up for the role in the Clannad series.

2018, "Moogle", "Cool As Rain", Otakuzine Anime Magazine, Issue #121, page 40
