Rie (she/her)

If someone has done this before, credit to them and also if anyone notices any inaccuracies please feel free to point them out :)

Mirabel - meaning wondrous/of wondrous beauty, stemming from the Latin word mirabilis (reminds me of ‘my bell’, or my beloved etc and that was cute, even though that isn’t the meaning)

Isabela - “god’s promise”, meaning derived from the Greek Elisabet, which is derived from the Hebrew name Elisheva meaning ‘my god is an oath’

Luisa - famous (female) warrior, from Old High German

Dolorés - sorrowful, lady of sorrows (I think this is so interesting because of the likely burden and sadness/isolation her gift can bring)

Camilo - helper to the priest, noble, free-born child (I think it’s slightly reminiscent of the word chameleon though)

Antonio - flourishing, Greek origin (I’m so glad this suits him perfectly)

Bruno - from German, meaning brown; a very traditional and common name amongst different languages (I would love this to have another meaning I haven’t seen yet, but then I guess the contrast between his very traditional name and his gift, which is so unique etc)

Julieta - youthful, love’s child (I think this is lovely - symbolising the love of Alma and Pedro)

Pepa - a nickname given for names such as Pepita, coming from Josefina or Josefa - meaning god shall add or the lord increases

Alma - the soul, can also mean nourishing from Latin but the Spanish meaning is said to be the soul (Alma is referred to as the centre of casita etc, or the soul of the family throughout the film so I enjoy this meaning)

Pedro - Spanish equivalent to Peter, meaning stone or rock

Félix - meaning lucky/fortunate (I think this is so cute and suits him so well)

Mirabel: Are you okay?

in . . . in all of media? Uuuuuh, alright, yeah, buy my book

It's a fantasy and science fiction collection featuring lagoon mermaids falling in love with deep sea mermaids in zoos, cursed princesses sprouting flowers from their skin, dying astronauts, and floating continents

All the wlw relationships are amazing and good and front and center due to the fact I wrote it!

me: that’s fair 

op: so it’s ok to ship inc*st and p*dophilia

For anyone who isn't on Tiktok, I wanted to share a story.

1 week ago, a Tiktok user with Parkinsons posted a video expressing anger over how tiny the pills for treating Parkinsons are because it makes them really difficult to pick up when someone has something like, you know, Parkinson's.

4 days ago a guy who directs country music videos for a living, and was previously most famous on Tiktok for knowing obscure facts about Snappple, taught himself how to use Fusion 360 (a design and modeling tool) so he could design a pill bottle that solves the problem.

Problem was though that he didn't own a 3D printer so he posted a video of his design and offered to share schematics with anyone who wanted to test it and or improve upon it. All schematics are open source. 3 days ago, dozens of engineers and 3D printer enthusiasts had begun working on the project and started refining and tweaking to get tolerances where they needed to be and ensuring that it actually met the needs of those it was being designed for.

13 hours ago, there is a working prototype, it has "less plastic than your average McDonald's toy, and should be priced as such". The original designer has gotten a patent attorney to ensure it remains open source and the patent itself will be donated to the Michael J. Fox Foundation.

In the mean time, for anytime who needs one now and doesn't want to wait until the manufacturing in scale begins, they can get one at cost from the engineers printing them at home.
