What Type of Villain are You?

mutedfaith.com.



Moriarti, now I can't help picture him like in Young Sherlock Holmes, a fairly entertaining movie with a delightful villain. Oh yes. (Makes me think, yesterday I had a look at a few Jude Law galleries - the word scrumptious came to mind (and I never use that word). I still can't believe how downright ugly he was in Road to Perdition. Guy's a v. good actor.)

Anyway. Wanted to read more OLS, but I put the Mononoke-Hime soundtrack on and it's tickling the muses for my fairy-related original story. Have just spent some time looking for Icelandic names, since the list I'd made is on Kaylee. Hopefully I'll get some of the first scene down tonight (sorry, heikki_cheren, that does mean I'm not writing those K'Immies just yet - I don't want to ignore those muses for fear they ignore me later on). Just those names are enough to tickle my fancy... Lilja, Valdís, Brynjólfur, Hrafn, and so many others.

Hmm, I wonder whether I have what it takes to type those letters the Icelandic use for the two "th" sounds.

Hmm, inflexions? (yeah, languages junkie, but just en amateur, I'm a scientist :-P) Are they stuff that looks like accents?

There's a solution to your problem. You can both be lazy and have the correct "Old". The Replace All function is a lovely feature. ;-)
Personnally, I would prefer the Old the Icelandic way, just for the visual aspect, but well, your story, your choice.

Inflections are... "déclinaisons"? You know, when a word changes function, it changes the ending of the word?

So, no the replace all feature does very much not work. I'd need to pay attention, each time, to what the "Old Hallbjörn" is in the sentence, and then figure out (and hopefully not completely screw *that* up, which isn't sure, 'cause grammar sites aren't always clear and stuff) what inflection I should put on the adjective.

Again, I'm lazy.

Ah. Déclinaisons.... (well, I did some Greek for 6 years, so yeah, I'm quite familiar with the notion ;-)).

My turn to feel your pain. And I now approve the laziness.

Thank you. I bear them no small hate. Blargh.
