Verses without an actual name

[Bobsican]

I feel like making a list of all the verses we have that are named after whoever writes it or owns the series (plus the word "verse" at the end), rather than actually having a name, even if it´s just based on the main character(s).

For example, Masadaverse, Nasuverse

 

[GyroNutz]

It's not a thing yet, but Professor Layto's verse is named after him.

Same for Mr. Nutz (Verse), cept it's a thing

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

John Clowder verse

This one Russian verse which was deleted also had it.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

Reminds me, I'm going to make a profile on the Asimoverse at some point

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

Arguably, the Cthulhu Mythos as well, just without the -verse.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

We should rename Cthulhu Mythos Lovecraft

 

[DMB_1]

We should rename Cthulhu Mythos Lovecraft

Everyone and their mother refers to the verse just as "Chtulhu Mythos", I don't really see the point.

 

[DMB_1]

This one Russian verse which was deleted also had it.

If you are referring to that weird Russian Book about Computer Programs, with multiple Tier 1s and a Tier 0, it actually had a name. It was called "Cryptozoi" or something.

How are you even meant to spell Chtulthu Mythos to begin with?

I can´t pronounce it, and even if English was my native language, I doubt I could easily pronounce it right.

Lovecraft, however, is clearly far easier.

"rather than actually having a name, even if it´s just based on the main character(s)."

In other words, those don´t fit here really.

But maybe I´ll make another thread for that if this goes well.

Technically, Masadaverse is composed of Shinza Bansho (Paradise Lost, Dies Irae and Kajiri Kamui Kagura) and Senshinkanverse.

It's just we're lazy ass ***** and we grouped them all together under one banner

 

[Qliphoth_Bacikal]

@ALRF: I actually suggested or thought out to Arian and Schro that maybe we could separate the two verses of Masada's works (Shinza and Senshinkan) and do it like that?

Seems a lot better to do or we could do what was done for Nasu's works and Sakurai's Steampunk series and do it that way even though that would make it really repetitive?

Idek. Just putting all of Shinza by itself and vice versa with Senshinkan on their own works fine enough for me (shrugs)

 

[ALRF]

I am fine with it

But i am lazy ass boi so don't count me in

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

Wasn't Cthulhu Mythos actually called "Yog-Sothothery"?

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

That sounds even dumber. I think Lovecraft is the best option since most people know his name.

 

[DragonEmperor23]

just call each verse by the strongest person in the verse

 

[Ultima_Reality]

This one Russian verse which was deleted also had it.

Golovachov-verse actually was a bunch of unrelated stories written by the same guy, as far as I know.

 

[GyroNutz]

just call each verse by the strongest person in the verse

The-One-Above-All verse

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

just call each verse by the strongest person in the verse

That's dumb, since most surpreme beings don't appear that often.

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

Apparently, another suggested name was "Yog-Sothoth Cycle of Myth", although nowadays it is most commonly known as simply "Cthulhu Mythos", because of the most popular story in the verse, The Call of Cthulhu.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

That's like calling the dark tower "Pennywise Mythos"

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

Pennywise Mythos is my favorite verse.

 

[Bobsican]

Lovecraft would be far better in the long run.

A verse´s name should be something that you can look up and easily see the whole franchise itself, rather than a popular part of it.

There is the Puella Magi Verse. It isn't an official name, but it's related to the fact that "Puella Magi" is present in almost every manga/game related to PMMM

 

[Paulo.junior.969]

Honestly, I never liked that Cthulhu got so much attention, he is basically just a random Great Old One that happen to be on Earth, he isn't even nearly as important to the verse itself as some other creatures.

 

[Qliphoth_Bacikal]

@ALRF: Yeah sure...

Seriously though, I'll see what I can with that later.

Again...

"rather than actually having a name, even if it´s just based on the main character(s)."

This is clearly one of those that fits the first one.

 

[Phoenix821]

AEverse? The AE is an abbrieviation of the name of the compamy.

 

[Kaltias]

It's not based on the characters and this isn't its actual name though?

You won't find that name outside of VSBW because we decided to call it that way

 

[Bobsican]

Oh, it´s fine in that case.

You can clearly see I´m not a weaboo.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Chrono (universe) isn't the name of the series. Game one is Chrono Trigger and game two is Chrono Cross so it kinda fits as it's present in the titles of the games. Even then, it doesn't work perfectly as another entry is just called Radical Dreamers.

 

[Genericstickman]

Heaven Ascended DIO Verse

 

[Saikou_The_Lewd_King]

ZUNverse, including Touhou Project, Seihou Project, Beerko and Space Invaders my boy.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

>Zun

...Why is that the name of a sun god in a video game I play?

 

[Bobsican]

By the way:

What do you think is a verse with an actual name?

So the request can be more accurate.

 

[The_King_of_Prudence]

We should rename Cthulhu Mythos Lovecraft

I can´t pronounce it, and even if English was my native language, I doubt I could easily pronounce it right.

Lovecraft, however, is clearly far easier.

"The name of the hellish entity was invented by beings whose vocal organs were not like man's, hence it has no relation to the human speech equipment. The syllables were determined by a physiological equipment wholly unlike ours, hence could never be uttered perfectly by human throats ... The actual sound -- as nearly as any human organs could imitate it or human letters record it -- may be taken as something like Khl├╗l'-hloo, with the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly. The u is about like that in full; and the first syllable is not unlike klul in sound, hence the h represents the guttural thickness."
