Watsonian
Part of speech: adj
Morphological type: derivation
Topics: human-sciences
lifestyle

narratology
psychology
sciences
Etymology: From Watson + -ian.
The “in-universe” (sense 1.1) sense formed in reference to Dr. John Watson, the fictional author within the text of the Sherlock Holmes stories, in contrast to Arthur Conan Doyle as the real author of the stories (compare Doylist). The term was coined in the Sherlock Holmes fandom before spreading to other fandoms. It possibly originated in the The Baker Street Irregulars fan club and entered science fiction fandom slang via the Lois McMaster Bujold mailing list.
Base: Watson
Affixes: -ian

pos: adj
gloss: Resembling or characteristic of the character Dr. Watson from the Sherlock Holmes stories.
pos: adj
tags: slang
examples: I would accept that many of them behave like humans born on earth would, but that must be an artefact of poor translation or our poor understanding of their motives and objectives [Watsonian] or lack of vision on the writers part [Doylist - to borrow some terms from the Bujold mailing list - think 'as written by' Dr Watson or by Arthur Conan Doyle].
IIRC, Wells specifically described the choice of Southern England as being as much about "bridgehead" as about "decapitation strike". I think he said something about settling in to the island and building up strength before spreading out to the continent and planet.¶ That's the Watsonian explanation of course, the Doyleist explanation is that he was writing an allegory of white men wiping about the Tasmanians, from the point of view of the Tasmanians. He needed to set it where his English readers would be horrified by the destruction, and the Martian invasion of Korea or Florida or Sri Lanka, or even Ireland, wouldn't have had as much of an impact.
While fans recognize and do engage in Doylist readings, they tend to find Watsonian readings more engaging. Fan fiction writers in particular engage with the text intradiegetically.
I think the best Watsonian explanation is that shopkeepers aren't quite right in the head. They know that most players intend to rob them blind, but don't understand how the successful ones are doing it.

The crisp, mildly sweet water chestnut – "bee-chee" in Mandarin – is the biggest export from the Kuantien district in central Tainan County. The 130-year-old, white and red brick, southern Fujianese-style house is Kuantien’s biggest tourist magnet because it was the boyhood home of Chen Shui-bian.

Tangut
Part of speech: noun
adj
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: From a Middle Mongol exonym used by the Mongols, which would become the Classical Mongolian ᠲᠠᠩᠭᠤᠳ (tangɣud) that was phonetically transcribed in Ming-era Early Mandarin Chinese as 唐兀_惕 (/*tʰaŋ(ŋ)ut/) in the Chinese edition of the Secret History of the Mongols (《元朝秘史》). The designation ultimately derives from Old Turkic 𐱃𐰭𐰆𐱃 (t¹ŋut¹) as attested in the 8th-century Bilgä Qaǧan stele. The English word, and similar forms in European languages, derives from Medieval Latin Tangut (*Tangunt in the Leiden manuscript) from the accounts of William of Rubruck compiled in the 1250s. The English form was attested in the writings of Richard Hakluyt who translated parts of William's accounts in the late 16th century.

Converging towards the central spire of the Admiralty, are the three prospekts of which mention has been made, their length being reckoned by miles.
All the streets are broad. They are classed as prospekts, oulitzi, and perouloks or cross streets, but even the perouloks would be broad streets in most of the older European towns.
At No. 17, on the other side of the prospekt, is a building that was once the palace of Count Stroganov.
Instead of the smell of disinfectant, a mixture of heavy, acrid cigarette smoke, sour bread, cabbage and sweat hung in the air-⁠-that quintessential Soviet smell that you find even in the middle of a prospekt.
I arrived at the fag end of winter, in the time of the veritable Bulgakovian black snow — fur-grey, at least, in the parks and under the Kremlin walls; great coal-black lumps in the gutters of the big prospekty.
The territory is crossed by highways with heavy traffic: the Entuziastov highway, Volgogradskii, and Ryazanskii prospekty, and the railways to Kursk and Kazan.
Maybe in our next life we’ll be reincarnated already fluent in [Alexander] Pushkin. We look so bad next to those ever-loving people next door, especially when they are whipped into a frenzy of nationalistic and racist ardor, beating the shit out of dark people in the prospekty while the militsiya look smilingly on.

As Flash Webtoons and animated shorts have become more and more popular, a spate of tools have cropped up to facilitate their creation.
Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi used Flash animation to bring cartoons (sometimes called online cartoons or webtoons) to the Internet.
More and more cartoons are made using special techniques with a lot of help from computers. Some people are making cartoons for the internet. These are called webtoons. You could make a webtoon, too.
When it comes to Flash animated cartoons, also called webtoons, the first noted use was in 1999 when Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi set out to bring cartoons to the Web. Soon after, webtoons began popping up everywhere.
