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.

I'm pretty sure the closest thing ancient Rome had to an aviator was the drunk who fell asleep in the siege catapult.

The amount of fumbling people trying to interpret this meme is only akin to the followers of brian in life of brian! This tumblr's shall be hailed both as a prophet of gender affirmation and as a lowly scum trying to dive in the depths of depravity that is the dark web. A genuine point of contention. I am truly amazed!

Trix is for women

Silly Tumblr... Trix is for kids.

The OP pic is suuuper misleading. It didn't keep the suffixes (sufficies), it kept the whole words if they were loaned. The suffices were never applied to any other gendered loan words.

The loan words with this suffix remain in use.

And don't words that end in -ix get pluralized with -ices? So you'd have Aviatrices, Dominatrices and Gladiatrices. I need some of these I can use in real life, dammit!

cockatrix (cockatrices) is usable... maybe

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

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)

They're french...

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

Don't forget the '-tress' (trix) or '-tess' suffix in modern English. Host/Hostess, Waiter/Waitress, Actor/Actress

So a female aster is an Asterix?

Also, a male Obelix must be an Obelor
