OC Name Meanings

Hey Everyone, I was tagged by @sstewyhosseini, @natesofrellis, @thomrainer, @socially-awkward-skeleton, @marivenah, and @nuclearstorms to share the meaning of my OC names and the reason I chose their names! Thank you all for tagging me!

Tagging: @allthearchetypes, @commander-krios, @bluemojave, @spookyvalentine, @purplehairsecretlair, @strafethesesinners, @adelaidedrubman, @poeti-kat, @indorilnerevarine, @henbased, @belorage, @heroofpenamstan, and anyone else who wants to do this! (Apologies if you've already been tagged!)

Note: I did this for Blue and Rooney previously, but I included them after Hunter and Sawyer with an explanation for both.

Hunter (First Name): "Someone who hunts". From an occupational English surname for a hunter, derived from Old English hunta.

Delaney (Last Name): Anglicized form of Irish Ó Dubhshláine meaning "descendant of Dubhshláine". Derived from Old Irish dub "dark, black" and either slán "challenge, defiance" or Sláine, the Irish name of the River Slaney

Reason: I wanted a name for Hunter that would symbolize their main motivation, which is to hunt down everyone involved in their death. While it is on the nose, I think the name "Hunter" suits them well. It's no nonsense and to the point, like Hunter is. They're blunt to a fault at times. Their last name works as well, considering their black hair, and that Hunter technically defied death by coming back to life because of their virus.

Sawyer Beaumont (Sorry, no banner yet!)

Sawyer (First Name): From an English surname meaning "sawer of wood".

Beaumont (Last Name): From French place names derived from beau "beautiful" and mont "mountain".

Reason: I knew I wanted a name that started with 'S' for Sawyer, but I didn't have a specific one in mind. When I saw the name "Sawyer", I knew it was the name for them. Also, I think the last name "Beaumont" just sounds cool as hell with "Sawyer". Sorry everybody. Sometimes, I have deep reasons, and other times, I just genuinely like a name. (It's also possible that as I flesh Sawyer out that I might have more of an explanation.)

Blue (Nickname): A shortening of their childhood nickname, Blue Jay. Most people call them Blue.

Blue Jay (Nickname): A nickname given to them by their mother after the bird. Only their grandpa, mother, stepfather, Eric, Nadia, and their goddaughter, Christina are allowed to call them Blue Jay. This nickname is reserved for people Blue considers family. Grace, Sharky, Joseph, and the Ryes are also allowed to call them Blue Jay later on in Blue's canon.

Jay (First Name): In English, the name Jay is derived from Latin, meaning "To rejoice". It is a short form of names beginning with the letter J, such as James or Jason.

Murphy (Last Name): Murphy is an anglicized form of Irish Ó Murchadha meaning "descendant of Murchadh". Murchadh means "sea battle", derived from Old Irish muir "sea" and cath "battle".

Reason: I came up with the name "Blue" first. I knew Blue was the kind of character to have a rather unusual name. However, considering Blue was born in rural West Virginia in the 1980s, it was unlikely for them to be named "Blue". Instead, I started looking at names, and when I came upon the name "Jay", I knew I had a way to make it work. As for "Murphy", I just wanted a common last name, and it works well with their first name.

Rooney (First Name): Rooney is a reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Ruanaidh ‘descendant of Ruanadh’, a byname meaning ‘champion’. (Pretty fitting for them, especially after what Rooney goes through.)

Shepard (Last Name): Shepard is an Occupational name meaning "shepherd, sheep herder", from Old English sceaphyrde.

Reason: As you know, Shepard is canonically the player character's last name in the Mass Effect games. Bioware gave them the last name Shepard as an homage to Alan Shepard, a famous astronaut. As for "Rooney", I have a sentimental attachment to that name. After finding out what "Rooney" meant, I thought it fit Shepard perfectly.

#tag meme #kate writes #Blue Murphy #Commander Rooney Shepard #I won't let fear compromise who I am #Hunter Delaney #Sawyer Beaumont #Sawyer's name has the least deep meaning #but I still really like it #Also #I hope all these explanations make sense lol #some characters kinda name themselves #and others need to have names searched ofr #*for

This character has an eight-word name that must be used in its entirety every time and if I have to shorten it for publication purposes I'm going to scream

#It turns out this story is less than 10k words so I might actually be able to submit it somewhere #once I get it cleaned up of course since I wrote it quite a while ago #but I still really like it #but back to the eight-word name it is ridiculous and I love it #if I had featured him in NaNoWriMo it would have been much easier to complete #ted's eldritch texts

okay so i already talked about how leo is heavily autistic-coded over here, but i have some other thoughts about this. many characters in enstars are autustic-coded, but their eccentric behaviors could be attributed to their strange upbringings (fun fact: there is a group called "the five eccentrics", and many of them are at least mildly autistic-coded).

the two who stick out to me most are leo (of course) and shu (who was part of the five eccentrics). if leo is the happy, loving autistic, shu is the angry, hateful one.

in my experience, shu represents the part of my life where i was damaged and hurt and angry about how i had been mistreated while growing up, while leo represents the current part of my life, where i have done a ton of healing work and have rediscovered my child-like wonder, joy, and love. leo represents an autistic person who has a strong support circle, and shu represents an autistic person who has struggled alone and confused.

just like how leo has a special interest (composing music), shu's special interest is dolls specifically and (i think) making doll-like or feminine clothing. dolls have been a life-long special interest for shu, and it was something he was heavily bullied for. while leo is said to be driven by joy and love, shu is said (by leo specifically) to be driven by anger and hatred.

and, just like in real life, a damaged and traumatized person is going to bleed on the people around them. shu caused the people around him so much pain, to the point where (once he has begun to come to his senses and heal), he mentions the fact that he broke the two members of his original unit, one of whom left, and the other who stayed. the one who stayed, mika, helped to heal shu's wounds, and in turn, shu has vowed to help to heal the damage he did to mika.

i think that the reason that shu's story means so much to me is because i was that person, who was bullied for being autistic without knowing what i did wrong, and became angry and cold and defensive towards the world around me. and not only that, but shu is given the opportunity (within their world) to heal and realize what he did wrong. the person who left his unit is also given the agency to decide not to forgive shu for his wrongdoings, which is so meaningful for those who were wronged by someone, even in spite of that person's own struggles. it gives the message of, "you do not have to forgive your abuser, even if they were hurting, even if they're trying to heal, even if they're better now".

idk, the writing is really good and both shu and leo have helped me to feel seen. i love how dynamic that story and characters are in enstars, and how the characters are able to start out a certain way, and are allowed to grow and change.

#this is. super messy #but i've been thinking about it #of course shu and leo are two extremes #with shu being more particular about things and leo being more carefree #but i still really like it #i've enjoyed being able to see myself and my experiences in these characters #rambles

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

#almost wrote the champagne line as ''effervescent'' but legit could not write it without saying ''effervescent like a snail'' #ah tumblr... #writeblr #warm up #idk . having trouble writing rn #ps i don't like to talk about it . it is my medical information. but before you ask. yes this is about being on the spectrum #i really don't like when ppl make my writing about how im [whatever ID]. i want it to ring true for the people who it rings true for #i don't want it to be like ''awwwww look at this person!!! she's the EXCEPTION!!! :)" ..... #no.... not really..... #idk something gross happens whenever i admit to certain conditions and i turn into like inspiration p*rnography #like yes they actually let us use keyboards these days #furthermore i just... dont feel comfortable talking about this part of me. i had too bad of a childhood. adhd is one thing... #this one im like. still coming to terms with. which is like. my own journey. #idk. just please be kind. some things are more private than others. this one feels private to me. #i do not know how to help others w/this . and i do not know how to help myself. i will talk about it if im ever ready. idk if that will #actually ever happen #ty in advance i love u im kissing you we are kissing somewhere on the spectrum
