For a moment I misread that as washing up on Placenta Bay, which would have added a whole extra level of odd.
Come to think of it, that blend of unsettling reproductive metaphors and coastal desolation would fit in the game Death Stranding.
- ikiris 2y agoYou don’t want to live on the shores of anywhere named placenta bay. There’s guaranteed to be a historical reason for a name that out there, and not in a way that’s good for property value or sunset watching.
- yencabulator 2y agoUsually it comes from a reasonably common last name Placencia, which comes from a town on the border region between Spain and France.
- tecleandor 2y agoFriendly picky correction for several different ways of writing it: French: Plaisance Occitan: Plasença Spanish: Plasencia And some extra trivia: There are a bunch of different French towns named Plaisance, some of them near the Pyrenees, so probably that where the Plasentia name came from, as I saw that it was French and Basque sailors the ones that arrived there. The Spanish city of Plasencia is quite far away from the Basque Country, in Extremadura, so probably they weren't referring (or remembering) that concrete city.
