Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

How do all the -ix names from asterix and obelix fit into this?

[–] krondo@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

They're french...

Well, first of, a lot of Keltic romanized names end in -ix. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/780hf9/asterix_and_gaulish_names/ )

And that was enough for the writers to go go on a punny tangent with names that end on -ixe or -isk (idee fixe, asterisk)

That's Panoramix's fault. Or maybe Gettafix....
