re: evil wizard yiffy name inspiration discussion

now see I already knew abt the pippi longstocking reference in the name, having heard this song before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHNc6gXucfE (which I think could be not insignificant evidence for speculation that she doesn't hate her name, with respect to "if you say it fast its funny/how I love my happy name", and since its only been characters other than her who have actually commented on it)

but onto the real interesting speculation about that connection is the strength and horses, which are both associated with the void aspect via equius, in the classpect theorizing thread for the candy kids I'd already talked about how I'm not necessarily a believer that the kids are going to be mind/blood/doom/rage and I'd floated the idea of yiffy being void because of how even in a setting already mostly hidden from dirk's view she remained hidden from reader view and literally only appeared as a silhouette to dirk when he could see in, but mostly dismissed it due to what I thought were stronger thematic connections to breath

the strength and horses stuff I think makes void a much stronger aspect theory for yiffy than I had initially thought.

and while it's not a chumhandle I do think it is still worth considering under the lens of "chumhandles as anchor points for characterization" that hussie would talk about a lot in her author commentaries
