Alaric? Is he a Visigoth or Ostrogoth?

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 2 points 3 days ago

Visi, he is named for the sacker of Rome

Wait... alaric... like alaric the goth? One of the cats that usually wanders in my garden is called theodoric the goth, and we call him "el gordo" (which in spanish rhimes wirh "godo" and means "fat boy" in a amicable way)

Like Alaric the Goth! Naming a black cat after the wrong kind of goth seemed funny to me. Also "Alaric" means king of everything, which seemed about right for him. I am glad to hear that his Ostrogothic kinsman is faring well
