There is a “does it sound like a Star Wars name?” Filter as well, which helps. Monotriv is a go-er!

Broadly speaking, the first I hear about any of my stuff from a comic turning up in a TV show is when folks on social media tell me it's in a show. It's a unique way to be spoiled.

These two certainly were. Dixit and Dominion. Maybe Netrunner for second syllable of Dixnet's name?

Krrsantan came before my own naming procedure for starwars characters, where I looked at the shelf of boardgames in front of me, and took the first syllable from one boardgame, and add it to the first from a second game, and that's their first name. Their surname is the first syllable from a third.

I ran a Year 6 book club at my kids’ school about a decade ago and they LOVED this one. #ukkidlit #kidlituk #scififorkids

Oh, I do not cook. I serve up stuff raw.

"prounounce". Wow!

@kierongillen.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 11:51 AM

I'm reminded that one thing I enjoyed about the Book of Boba Fett was that I finally learned how to prounounce "Black Krrsantan".

The Bible. (Since Hickey has already done the LoTR troll, I only just realised I could go one further and bring in some early 00s New Atheist arsehole energy.)

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

For mine, I found myself dressed as a hobbit. I’m sure you’ll have a more dignified transition. happy diminishing and going into the west!

Iris likes Irish music for the narcissistic reason she‘s misheard and thinks it’s Iris music.
