Finally, he says, “You’re just really beautiful (Y/N). And I was wondering if I could take you on a date tomorrow?”

(fandom slang) Initialism of your name; a placeholder for the reader's name in self-insert fanfiction.


cecaelia

Apparently coined around 2007 on a discussion thread on Seatails, a mermaid-enthusiast messageboard created by Kurt Cagle, who created a Wikipedia article on the cecaelia (originally “Cecælia”), inspired by Cilia (a cilophyte in “Cilia”, a seven-page short comic story published in issue #16 of the Vampirella comic magazine, released in March of 1972), cilophyte, Coleoidea, and the song “Cecilia” by Simon and Garfunkel, about a fickle and demanding lover (according to Cagle).

During planning for the film, Ursula was not originally designed as a cecaelia (a composite mythical being, combining the head, arms and torso of a woman, and from the lower torso down, the tentacles of an octopus or squid as a form of mermaid or sea demon). It was thought that she would be another sea creature, such as a rockfish-like mermaid.

2010, Joshua C. Shaffer, Discovering the Magic Kingdom: An Unofficial Disneyland Vacation Guide, AuthorHouse, →ISBN, page 40:

A mundane company had hired him to summon up a cecaelia demon. For the amount of money they were paying, and considering that cecaelia demons were lesser demons who could scarcely cause all that much fuss, Magnus had agreed to not ask questions.

2013, Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, What to Buy the Shadowhunter Who Has Everything (And Who You’re Not Officially Dating Anyway) (The Bane Chronicles), Margaret K. McElderry Books, →ISBN:

A spear of flame lanced out to strike the cecaelia. It shrieked and writhed as the heat seared its flesh, dropping its spear to bat at the smoldering wounds. Torius took the opportunity to drive his cutlass up into its chest. Still the thing clutched him, tentacles wrapping his arm and snaking around his neck. Celeste darted forward, but before she could reach him, an arrow transfixed the cecaelia’s head, and it fell.[…]She had seen that the pirates outnumbered the cecaelias, but the longer reach of the invaders’ spears and their entangling tentacles were wreaking havoc.

2013 April, Chris A. Jackson, “A Surprise Engagement”, in Pirate’s Honor (Pathfinder Tales), Paizo, →ISBN, pages 113–114:

An officious Cecaelia rapped the floor of the platform sternly and called the court to order. After a few more raps and some stern looks, there was silence. She bowed deeply to Atlantica who bid her to continue with a wave.

2014, Jolie Jaquinta, “Throne of the Sea”, in Red Queen, →ISBN:

URSULA |Film| “The Little Mermaid” (1989) |Voiced by| Pat Carroll |Special attributes| She’s a cecaelia (a human-octopus mashup) with magical powers.

2014 May 30, Sarah Bryan Miller, “They’s the Best at Being the Worst”, in Go! Magazine (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), page 17:

Mademoiselle halted momentarily to marvel at a cecaelia rising furiously from the waves being whipped into foam by her tentacles and brandishing a trident high above.

2014 June, Christian Vago, The Rotted Garden (The Mademoiselle de Commercy Series; volume one), FriesenPress, →ISBN, page 441:

Ursula’s form is a cecaelia, a half human and half octopus.

2015, Harpa Omarsdottir, “Ursula”, in Disney Villains Hairstyles & Looks, Edda Publishing USA LLC, →ISBN, page 6:

While the Disney’s corporate Wiki site page on Ursula identifies her as a “villainous cecaelian sea witch” and characterises the cecaelia as “a legendary hybrid of human and octopus”, the figure of a monstrous tentacled female has little precedent in Western mythology or folklore. Rather than deriving from these sources, the cecaelia is a more modern figure that developed as a distinct entity within a dispersed node of fantasy aficionados and artists.

2017, Philip Hayward, “Becoming Ariel, Becoming Ursula”, in Making a Splash: Mermaids (and Mermen) in 20th and 21st Century Audiovisual Media, John Libbey Publishing Ltd, →ISBN, page 37:

“Do you know what happens when you swallow a cecaelia’s tentacles” smirked Agalia when suddenly Zwart let out a squeak and grabbed his stomach and to everyone’s surprise cried out helplessly.[…]“They are the Seven High Sentinels of the Kingdom of Durkinbird, appointed by the King himself from each clanring to serve the palace and the kingdom, don’t be deceived by their cheerful behaviour, they are dignified warriors that guard the King and his palace and each one of them is strong enough to take down an entire army of cecaelias in mere seconds, the fact that the King has summoned all of them to carry out a task, the task must be mighty dangerous.”

2017, Daryl Rodrigues, Quzil Scarlett & the Kingdom of Durkinbird, Notion Press, →ISBN:

Ursula is a Cecaelia; half-human, half-octopus.

2020, James Egan, 3000 Facts about Animated Films, Lulu, →ISBN, page 191:

The lead cecaelia ship left its fleet formation to dock with the main mermaid ship. Aboard Titan’s Caravan’s ship, all watched as the cecaelia leaders walked with their long tentacles, their bodies riding along.[…]The same water fae were present from the meeting on Queen Issaleth’s red ship, and the room was filled with water to everyone’s chest—except the cecaelia. With their tentacles, their upper torsos hung well above the water.[…]Cecaelia are said to have bodies free of bones (though not true) because of their seemingly impossibly fast movements, flexibility, reflexes, and speed.

2021, Austin Dragon, Siren Storms of Madness (Fabled Quest Chronicles; book five), Well-Tailored Books, →ISBN:

In Asian and North American folklore, Cecaelia is described as an “octopus-woman.”

2022, Phoebe Im, Cute Chibi Mythical Beasts & Magical Monsters: Learn How to Draw Over 60 Enchanting Creatures, Rock Point, →ISBN, page 16:

“I saw a man with a shark tail before,” Elva put in. “They are called triakis, and the octopus people? Those are cecaelia.”[…]They turned to find an elderly cecaelia entering the pavilion, flanked by four guards.[…]Morgan bellowed to the mass of mermaids, naiads, triakis and cecaelia.

2022, C.A.Watts, Mattara (The Ventura Series), Ballads & Bards Bookhouse, →ISBN:

swordmage

From sword + mage. Rarely used before December 2007 (or November: see quotation), when it was included in the first preview of the Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition, Wizards Presents: Races and Classes.

However, IMC, magic is treated as a form of energy that can be shielded or grounded by various metals (e.g. soft iron) before it is converted into another form. That's why elvish swordmages can use elfin chain - it is a 'magical' metal, one which acts as a magical superconductor and an electrical semiconductor. That's also why high concentrations of transition metals in unbroken or closely-arranged arrays will retard the casting of a spell.

1998 September 22, Autolycus, “Mages/armour rules”, in rec.games.frp.dnd (Usenet):

Nearly two dozen of Evermeet’s swordmages lay writhing on the ground, their palms pressed to their ears in a futile attempt to shut out illithid mind blasts, but Khelben did not pause to hurl any spells into that quarter of combat.

2001 March, Troy Denning, The Summoning (Forgotten Realms; Return of the Archwizards, book I), Wizards of the Coast, →ISBN, page 195:

> They are by 3 school Melee/Archers =P / No such thing ; ) / Bowmage / Swordmage / etc.

2002 November 21, George, “quest items?”, in microsoft.public.games.zone.asherons_call (Usenet):

Some wild talents can take shortcuts, but usually only with specific things, such as a swordmage who can bring out the best in any edged weapon with but a whim.

2006 October 15, Dave Van Domelen, “[ASH] Info: Magic Items - A Menagerie”, in rec.arts.comics.creative (Usenet):

A Windship manned by Cymrilian Swordmages (ability level 3) arrived after the battle had commenced.[…]If the defenders of Ikarthis can hold out until daybreak, they will be re-enforced by a contingent of 100 Cymrilians (average ability level 3: +3), wearing chain mail (Armor Factor: +2). Half of their number are Swordmages (Magic modifier of +2), and they will be arriving in a windship armed with light ballistae (Weapon Factor: +6).

2007 August, A Gamemaster’s Guide to Talislanta (Talislanta, Fantasy Role Playing Game, fifth edition), →ISBN, page 207:

I was today at my FLGS here in Hungary, and to my big surprise they already had the Races & Classes preview book for sale.[…]The classes section had details about five classes: Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Wizard, and Warlock. Each of thes^([sic]) gets 3-4 pages. Then - as with the classes - there is an "other classes" section with 3-4 paragraphes^([sic]) for each class. I remember paladins, rangers, druids, barbarians, swordmages and warlords among those.

2007 November 24, fabio.mili...@gmail.com, “QUARTA edizione 4th - razze e classi..... Draconici e avanzamento unico”, in it.hobby.giochi.gdr.dnd (Usenet):

He was a swordmage, one who could wield a steel blade in one hand and the full power of the sphere in the other. It was a fearsomely powerful concordance of skills, but one that came at a terrible price. The disruption that came to all mages came also to the swordmage, it just came slower. A glacial crawl opposed to a flash freeze.

(fantasy) One who is skilled in both swordfighting and magic use.

creative nonfiction

Coordinate term: autofiction

The idea of “emotional truth” often pops up during discussions of accuracy in the context of creative nonfiction. Maybe you can't get every detail right, goes the argument, but you can capture a larger meaning that's essentially truthful.

2011, Jack Hart, Storycraft: The Complete Guide to Writing Narrative Nonfiction, University of Chicago Press, →ISBN, page 224:

The danger, as genre-defying or creative nonfiction becomes a genre in its own right—with mix-and-match poised to become a matter of rote—is that no man’s land could become predictably congested.

2015 December 6, Geoff Dyer, “‘Based on a true story’: the fine line between fact and fiction”, in The Guardian:

He’d arrived at the perfect time: when authenticity was more about the truth behind feelings rather than facts, when the now-accepted genres “auto-fiction” and “creative nonfiction” were blooming, and when our ideas of subjectivity were being shaken by an explosion of “reality” television.

quadball

en-noun

quadball (countable and uncountable, plural quadballs)

International Quadball Association
J. K. Rowling

From quad- (“four”) + ball or quad + ball. The sport sense was introduced in 2022 by the International Quadball Association, formerly the International Quidditch Association, with quad- chosen in reference to the number of balls and positions in the game. The IQA cited concerns over the trademarked status of Quidditch and a wish to distance itself from the "anti-trans positions" of J. K. Rowling.

“This is an important moment in our sport’s history,” said Chris Lau, chair of the IQA board of trustees, in a statement. “We are confident in this step and we look forward to all the new opportunities quadball will bring.”

2022 July 20, Adela Suliman, “Quidditch is now quadball, distancing game from J.K. Rowling, league says”, in The Washington Post:

Major League Quidditch and US Quidditch will now be known as Major League Quadball and US Quadball respectively.

Quidditch, the sport of boarding school wizards riding broomsticks in “Harry Potter,” will become “Quadball” to the humans who play the game in real life, its leading organizations said on Tuesday.

Love Harry Potter? Then check out the quadball championship that combines elements of rugby, basketball and dodgeball. The MLQ Championship is the league’s signature event

2023 August 24, Susan Stapleton, “Plan your weekend: This weekend offers quadball, World Food, Music Fest and more”, in Des Moines Register, page D.1.:

(sports, uncountable, neologism) A co-ed contact ball sport created as a ground-based adaptation of Quidditch, featuring the same positions, balls, and goals as the fictional sport, but with the players clutching broomsticks and a human "snitch runner" carrying the snitch (an autonomous magical device in the Harry Potter novels).

Kelvinverse

From Kelvin + -verse, referencing the attack on the USS Kelvin by time-travelling Romulans in the first film, the point of divergence that creates the alternate universe.

From H. G. Wells's radio play The War of the Worlds to the cinematic blockbuster Star Trek Kelvinverse movies, themes of invasion, conquest, and colonization are the bread and butter of science fiction.

2020, Ebony Elizabeth Thomas, The Dark Fantastic: Race and the Imagination from Harry Potter to the Hunger Games, page 30:

The show responded to fan pleas to return the series to the “Prime” timeline and explored a hitherto under-represented era of Star Trek history—roughly a decade before The Original Series, placing it roughly analogous to the same time zone the “Kelvinverse” films were exploring.

2021, A. J. Black, Star Trek, History and Us: Reflections of the Present and Past Throughout the Franchise, page 150:

In other words, the Kelvinverse versions of Kirk, Spock, Bones, Uhura, Sulu, Scotty, and so on, are not the same characters as their “Prime” counterparts (“whatever our lives might have been ... our destinies have changed”).

2022, William Proctor, “Star Trek (2009)”, in Leimar Garcia-Siino, Sabrina Mittermeier, Stefan Rabitsch, editors, The Routledge Handbook of Star Trek, unnumbered page:

Stepford wife

From the 1972 novel The Stepford Wives by Ira Levin (adapted into a 1975 film of the same name), in which a woman moves to the fictional town of Stepford, Connecticut and discovers its eerily docile housewives are android replacements.

Parroting back her husband’s words, by the end of the play, Kate sounds either like a brainwashed member of a bizarre religious cult or a Stepford wife, a woman whose personality has been wiped out and replaced by one more acceptable to her husband.

1995, Regina Barreca, Perfect Husbands & Other Fairy Tales): Demystifying Marriage, Men, And Romance, page 214:

"You can't just sit there and tell me you want Lili to become a 'Stepford wife' at your beck and call. […]

2005, Mollie Molay, An Engagement of Convenience, page 210:

So that prompted me to ask the question: isn’t the ideal Muslim wife in actual fact a Stepford Wife?

Africanjujuism

en-noun

Africanjujuism (usually uncountable, plural Africanjujuisms)

Coined by science fiction and fantasy author Nnedi Okorafor in 2018, from African + jujuism.

coin

Africanjujuism is a subcategory of fantasy that respectfully acknowledges the seamless blend of true existing African spiritualities and cosmologies with the imaginative.

2019, Nnedi Okorafor, “Africanfuturism Defined”, in Nnedi's Wahala Zone Blog:

Last but not least, the choice of Afrofuturism in this article rather than Africanfuturism and Africanjujuism is also a pragmatic one—there simply exist more scholarly analyses to draw upon.

2021, Aisha P. L. Kadiri, “Data and Afrofuturism: an emancipated subject?”, in Internet Policy Review, volume 10, number 4, →DOI, page 7:

Just like Africanfuturism, another term she coined for African science fiction, Africanjujuism comes out of a need to capture the uniqueness of what African writers are doing when they explore familiar genres like fantasy.

2021, Ainehi Edoro, “What is Africanjujuism?”, in Brittle Paper:

(fantasy) An Afrocentric subgenre of fantasy fiction that draws on African spiritualities and cosmologies.


Africanfuturism

en-noun

Africanfuturism (usually uncountable, plural Africanfuturisms)

Coined by science fiction and fantasy author Nnedi Okorafor in 2019, from African + futurism.

coin

Africanfuturism is similar to “Afrofuturism” in the way that blacks on the continent and in the Black Diaspora are all connected by blood, spirit, history and future. The difference is that Africanfuturism is specifically and more directly rooted in African culture, history, mythology and point-of-view as it then branches into the Black Diaspora, and it does not privilege or center the West.

Thompson’s Africanfuturism is both queer and decolonial at the same time, necessitating an approach to embodiment that does not look like white, Western performative queerness

2021, Jenna N. Hanchey, “'The self is embodied': Reading queer and trans Africanfuturism in The Wormwood Trilogy”, in Journal of International and Intercultural Communication, volume 14, number 4, →DOI, page 321:

Later this year, the highly anticipated sequel to Black Panther (2018), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, releases. This will likely mark another big surge in wider public excitement and shared fan art depicting elements of Afrofuturism and Africanfuturism.

2022, Alyssa Shotwell, “The Key Differences Between Afrofuturism and Africanfuturism (With Examples!)”, in The Mary Sue:

(Africa, science fiction, neologism) An Afrocentric subgenre of science fiction that foregrounds familial, spiritual and historical connections among Black people, paying particular attention to African culture, history and mythology, and African perspectives, rather than those of the African diaspora in the western world.

planetship

If an interstellar flight belongs in the category of very slow flight, the corresponding starship is converted into a planetship for rapid flights within the solar system.

1959, NASA Technical Translation, page 156:

This was not a spaceship with its stern half broader than the bows and with high stabilizer ribs. Judging by the sharp bows and slim hull it must have been a planetship hut its contours differed in the thick ring at the stern and the long, distaff-shaped structure on top.

2005, Vera Velichko, The Best on the East, volume 3, page 107:

And to cap it all, there's a planetship full of important politicians in orbit around Mars unable to land while this crisis is with us.

2011, John Glasby, Mystery of the Crater, page 87:

The space vehicle came to be understood as an engineered techno-ecology that allowed for short-term excursions, but the actual goal was to build systems that would allow the expected “planetships” to travel into orbit, to the Moon, to Mars, and one day even further out, into the galaxy.

I love Cloudcuckoolanders but I am always bewildered at how easily they seem to be written. I always thought they weren’t easy characters to write unless the writer is one themselves. Some tips in this area would be most helpful, as this is probably one of my favorite type of characters and I want to do it justice. I guess the main issue is what is considered odd to people? I have Asperger’s so, I guess in a way, I already am a cuckoolander myself which sort of helps a little but at the same time, not so much.

"Have you met my mom? She's like a Bat-Signal for jerks. I'm never falling in love, Kellan. Ever. It's so stupid."

I honked the horn and flickered the lights as a bat signal for my mom to save me.
