This is a very good point, thank you for bringing it up! I'm going to have to do some thinking on what the best course of action would be for me from here (aside from doing some serious thinking on my own time). I'm currently leaning towards either flat-out deleting that one, or putting that part in strikethrough, followed by a general apology, explanation, and thank-you to you for calling me out immediately after, but welcome suggestions. I'm afraid the horse may be well out of the barn for the Tumblr version of this post, though I can at least make edits and reblog with the apology, as I did with the date correction.

IIRC, the author basically keysmashed to try and come up with generic fantasy-ish names and has joked herself about how difficult they are to pronounce as a result. I'm not sure how that plays in with what you've pointed out, really.

As to the "much less relevant" comment, I had problems with the mental pronunciation myself; I'll admit the "Don't worry, you're probably not reading this out loud!" was at least in part an attempt at self-soothing my very loud Anxiety Brain, but clearly it was not well thought out.
