So we rename peppers to firemelons, beans to windmelons, and potatoes to earthmelons. Seems simple enough

In Chinese, there's "kinda" 3 out of the 4 directions for melons:

  • 东瓜 (dōng guā) - East Melon - Winter Melon
  • 西瓜 (xī guā) - West Melon - Watermelon
  • 南瓜 (nán guā) - South Melon - Pumpkin (although it doesn't necessarily refer to south)

and there is no 北瓜 (běi guā) - North Melon (at least not to my knowledge)

Just about to say this lmao

But i did a search anyway, and based on article below seems like in china in some place they have different 北瓜 based on location, zucchini, chinese squash, and the long pumpkin.

The buffalos get their element after consumption of their elemelon of choice in a rite of passage.

I feel like Captain Melons is probably a soft porn from the eighties

No compression artifcacts or cropping. Must be a restoration of the original antique image macro.

They’re all here. Literally called “Elemelons” on this site. Someone’s already figured them out for you.
