how autocorrect "fixes" homestuck character names

i recently managed to teach my computer to NOT autocorrect "homestuck" to "homesick", thank god. my computer insists on automatically fixing any word it sees as spelled wrong, so i thought it'd be fun to see how it changes homestuck character names. i'll explain any words that you might not know.

the humans--- dave strider, rose lalonde, john egbert, jade harley, roxy lalonde, dirk strider, jake english, jane crocker--- are safe. as is calliope. probably because those are normal, real, human names.

on to the beta trolls!

aralia megiddo: aralia is a genus of plant. megiddo is a place in israel (boo)

taros nitram: taro is a root vegetable.

sollux captor: safe from autocorrect.

karat vantas: karat is the amount of gold in something. one karat is 1/24 gold.

nepeta leijon: safe from autocorrect.

kanaya maryam: safe from autocorrect.

teresa pyrope

frisk seeker: frisk undertale?? or to search for something by running the hands rapidly over the clothing. 

equips zahhak 

gam zee malkaar: gam is a conversation at sea. or a group of whales. or slang for a leg? zee is the letter z. malkaar is a... dutch word? and now it's trying to correct it to "malakai". okay.

(i also saw it get autocorrected to "game maker" once and that feels much more fitting lmao)

eridan amphora: an amphora is an ancient Greek/Roman vase.

fifer peixes: a fifer is someone who plays the fife (a small instrument kinda like the flute)

and now the dancestors:

damara medio: "medio" is spanish for half?

rufioh nitram: safe from autocorrect.

mituna captor: safe from autocorrect.

kandi vantas: kandi is the plastic beads scene kids use to make bracelets.

merlin leijon: merlin is the wizard from king arthur. also a kind of bird.

porrim maryam: safe from autocorrect.

lately pyrope

arena seeker 

hours zahhak 

kurloz makara: no longer correcting "makara" to malkaar... while i was typing that it autocorrected to "maker". okay.

cronus ampere: okay ampere is even further away from "ampora" than "amphora" is. why. we're regressing here... anyway ampere is a unit of electrical current sometimes shortened to "amp".

Neenah peixes: neenah is a city in wisconsin. 

bonus: caliborn gets autocorrected to claiborne, which is a surname, and a first name, and the name of various places in the US.

...some very odd choices made by autocorrect here. intriguing. hope you enjoyed this lmao, i just figured i should add something to my blog. (is games even the right place for this? whatever).

bye!! ^_^
