I hate to be “that” person, but how do you pronounce: Amadeo, Khayman, Makare, Maharet, and Enkil?

i-want-my-iwtv:

No, that’s not being “that” person at all! What IS being “that” person is being all overly offended at someone else’s pronunciation, so before I answer I’ll just remind y’all that these are fictional characters, there’s no right way to pronounce them, I don’t care if you have a master’s degree in Etymology and/or Linguistics, named your pet/child after them, have a friend with the same name, even if you are the creator of the series, anyone is free to pronounce these names however they want.

Amadeo- “ah-mah-DAY-oh” or “ah-MAD-eeyo,” I sorta use both.

Khayman- “Kay-men”

Mekare- “mee-CARE” or “mek-ARRAY,” personally, I prefer the first option.

Maharet-  “maha-RET” (emphasis on the last syllable like “Margaret”), or “MAH-harret” (emphasis on the first syllable), or “muh-HAH-ret” (emphasis on the second syllable). Personally, I prefer the last option.

(redhairedtwin may disagree with me on the twins, she can add her two cents if she wants to do so.)

BONUS… hit the jump.

Ah! godsize reminded me that I forgot Enkil! So sorries!

Enkil- “en-KILL” or “ON-keel”

based on the assumption that human blood can survive in a vampire for about the same amount of time it can in a human body, vampires would only need to feed three or four times a year (red blood cells live about 110 days on average). this would be if they completely drained all their victims.

humans can survive losing up to about 40% of their blood, which means that a vampire pushing their limits with each victim would probably need to feed 12 times a year minimum

so like once a month

Hey guess what else happens once a month involving blood

omg no

Now that’s recycling

OuO a well-supported argument in #vampire physiology

(let’s not talk about Dora we don’t talk about Dora, Dora the nun, yes, that nun, who ended up feeding her monthly gift to someone… it was so awkward we don’t talk about Dora)
