What's the point of picking the worst name?

[dothelokimotion]

So that it stands the test of time and we have a good litmus test for taste.

[youdontneedapictureofme]

You missed a few ships and - as the First Mate of the Goldstone - if you have complaints try telling that to our Captain.

[Try telling the nine year old kid you don't like the name of his ship, Loki. She dares you.]

[dothelokimotion]

Oh. Well, it's their loss.

[ Not really. Loki examines his nails. ]

I've already your esteemed captain and have had no problems making my opinions known.

wonderduck is the worst

[dothelokimotion]

I can accept that.

[noprophecies]

[are you bored, dear]

So many choices . . .

[dothelokimotion]

[ Yes. Clearly. ]

I tried to offer some thoughts on each.

Bloodsport just seems really off-theme and aggressive.

[dothelokimotion]

It certainly is the most violent-looking of the lot.

[postocular]

If we're being fair, a lot of the names are pretty ridiculous.

[dothelokimotion]

Unfortunately, I never cared much for fairness.

It's a shame we don't get to pick the name of the ship we end up on! Frankly I think Bloodsport would have suited me.

[dothelokimotion]

[ mentally marks this down. ]

I believe you can move ships.

[krammbunctious]

I couldn't decide on part one ... I think they're all okay. Tourist, maybe, but I guess I'm kind of one because I just sort of go everywhere and like visiting new places so ... yeah. But Blameless? Yeah, no one is blameless.

[dothelokimotion]

[ S q u i n t s ]

Precisely. So the name is practically redundant.

Goldstone is actually an amalgamation, to make it more stupid. Used to be two ships- The Golden and the Pathstone. Then one day they mashed together and this is what we have now.

Same with Twin Roses, actually. That was the Three Twins and the Windrose.

[dothelokimotion]

Even the previous names don't seem like much of an improvement.

[this_loser]

You put your own ship on the list. Tsk. Where is the loyalty?

[dothelokimotion]

Why would I be loyal to a hunk of metal?

Do you stroke your ship at night when you sleep?

[ecclesiophobic]

Trying to start a fight, or laughter?

[And of course he voted for his own ship. He likes the name, but honestly Bloodsport would suit half of them better.]

[dothelokimotion]

Can't it be both?

[angelofthevored]

[This is...the biggest shot in the dark, but maybe he changed his appearance? Maybe he's not really dead, maybe the Winchesters were wrong? maybe cas is pathetically lonely]

Is that you, Gabriel? [maybe castiel won't even put on a courtesy lock when potentially outing his witness protection big brother]

[dothelokimotion]

[ That's . . . new. ]

I am Loki. Of whom do you speak of?

[mikangirl]

I'd say anyone who votes Bloodsport is paying double at the bar, but I'd lose half my customers.

[She dun care, she thinks all the names are kinda dumb.]

[dothelokimotion]

You don't think the name could use some work?

video

[wallcrawler]

This is seriously your priority right now?

I'm not even sure we get a say in the names, you know.

[dothelokimotion]

Considering there are no priorities at the moment . . . yes, it is.

And I heard we do not, but I also do not care.

[ It checks out. ]

[passingthrough]

I voted for the Wonderduck, because... Well, obviously. But we should really be harder on the Iskaulit.

[dothelokimotion]

That is a very odd name, but it is original.

[wingedman]

Red Fish and Blue Fish are references to a children's book, which doesn't make them any less awful.

[dothelokimotion]

Those poor children. What did they do to deserve that.

[universal_charm]

I take pride in being the leader of the worst sort of people. That usually means we're the interesting ones.

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose desperate people need pride in something.
