#instead of it being a nickname

[journeythroughtherain]

Okay so – I just realized something (that people have probably realized before me but whatever). In s2e01 of 9-1-1 when Buck asks about Eddie's name, he tells him he can't just go by "Eddie" when the rest of the crew all go by nicknames – nicknames which includes Hen, short for Henrietta. He really should have no issue with "Eddie", as it's short for Edmundo after all.

Except... Buck doesn't know that. When he asks if Eddie is short for what turns out to be the wrong name, Eddie only answers no and doesn't offer the correct one. Buck goes on to ask about his last name, seemingly assuming "Eddie" is, in fact, his full name.

Which seems weird – Eddie and Chim certainly thinks so – but of course it makes sense to Buck that Eddie's full name would just be "Eddie".

His sister's full name is literally Maddie after all.

#911 #911 fox #evan buckley #eddie diaz #random thoughts that won't leave me alone #i wish i had a gif of her saying 'maddie is the name on my birth certificate' #both because of this thought and also because it's kinda hilarious that they made it canon that the buckleys named her maddie #instead of it being a nickname #seemingly just so they could work in the buckleys not liking nicknames and therefore calling buck 'evan'

Clone concept: tubie names.

It's the first name the clones get as tubies, other than their number. Most of the time it is some sort of nickname made up from their numbers, as they are too long to say. Some might keep them (like maybe Fives), most take or get another name at some point.

Tubie names are the names that only your closest brothers use as a form of endearement. Fox gets called Tennie when his brothers want to either annoy him or the situation requires emotional vulnerability.

#like for most it's not their proper name but it's still not just their number #there is a level of familiarity and emotion that comes with being called with a nickname instead of just a number #sw #tcw #star wars #the clone wars #clone troopers #arc trooper fives #commander fox

hmm

if nerdanel's epessë were carnë, on account of her hair (or complexion), moryo's name starts making more sense

#actually i kind of love the idea of that being a multi-generational nickname #anyway. in my head nerdanel's naming scheme is like #'this baby is the most perfect baby ever born NO holds barred' <- is drunk on New Mom energy #'this baby has a beautiful singing voice (once he learned how to do that instead of scream)' #'this baby keeps waking up and wanting breakfast at three thirty in the morning' #'this baby looks JUST LIKE ME :D' #'this baby looks JUST LIKE HIM :O' #'these babies are identical' #silm headcanons #feanorians #silmarillion #nerdanel #caranthir

Luigi: Can you pass me the salt for me, please daddy?

M&L’s Dad and Bowser: *all reaches for the salt*

Dad:........

Bowser:.......

Extended family:.......

Mario: *fainted in Italian*

Dad, look at Luigi, wide eyes: Son......

Luigi, sweating and freaking out: DAD, WAIT, I CAN EXPLAIN!!!!

Peach, confused af: *look at Bowser* Why did you grab the salt? You’re not his daddy.

This ask is one of those times where I really wish I had the ability/skills to draw out this scene because I can easily imagine Bowser having either of these two reactions:

He's either just as mortified as Luigi is.

OR

While Luigi hides his face in embarrassment (while also turning as red as Mario's hat), Bowser stares at everyone with a dumb smirk on his face like he's proud of the fact that Mario and Luigi's entire family now knows that he and Luigi are banging.

And I honestly do not know which reaction I like better. 😂

Also, Peach, my girl, you are literal BFFs with Daisy (the person who would most likely ask you whether you and Mario did it after every date you two have), how has she not already told you about the other definition of "daddy?"

#ask nickname #anon ask #you gotta love those fun awkward dinners with your family #I can imagine this dinner being the last time Luigi ever takes Bowser out to have dinner with his family #if Luigi thought this was embarrassing just wait until everyone finds out that he has a hidden bite mark on his neck #or if you want to make it really awkward/embarrassing; make Bowser have the bite mark on his neck instead of Luigi #it probably wouldn't be all that noticeable since Bowser has tough skin #but I bet whoever is sitting next to Bowser during dinner would probably see the bite mark and ask Bowser what's on his neck #leading everyone to stare at Bowser as he debates on whether to admit that he and Luigi are banging or come up with a ridiculous lie #poor Luigi just wants to have one normal dinner with his family #although that kind of went out the window when he brought his 10-foot turtle dragon boyfriend to a family dinner #luigi #luigi nintendo #bowser #bowser nintendo #mario #mario nintendo #princess peach #princess peach nintendo #bowuigi #bowser x luigi #mario x peach #mareach #mario family #super mario #super mario bros #super mario movie #super mario bros movie #the super mario bros movie

"NUNCA APRENDES, PLATITA."

#[TRANSLATION: You never learn‚ Silver] #platita. yep. that's his nickname. it's very cute :') #it means ''silver'' but in a very ''tiny piece of silver'' kind of way. exist as a word the way words ending with ''ito'' or ''ita'' do #EXAMPLES: [carro(car) & carrito(small car)]|[oso(bear) & osito(small bear)]|[perro (dog) & perrito (small dog)] #colored doodles #sonic #YOUR WORLD OF YESTERDAY #silver the hedgehog #silver's father #sigh. this was going to be part of the answer for the ask asking ''what is your world of yesterday about''... alas. it's here instead :/ #''Pops''... I ACTUALLY don't know what he would look like if im being honest. im imagining someone very tall and warm🤔 #ORIGINALLY the knight owl was going to be his adopted parent but decided against it cause it would've ruined this whole thing she's got #with the time crow. so i'm now back in the drawing board. i do know i want his biological mother to be an arctic fox. so there's that :} #[also: gotta add that the owl still watches over him. she works for Pops. she's more like an auntie who has a very mean girlfriend haha] #anyways expect a kind father who become increasingly jaded and as silver grows up he recontextualizes his childhood and the reason #his father even took him in. ''none and i mean none of what you tell me will ever come to pacify my doubts and fears again.'' OOF.

reading fleabag the scriptures is like i'm learning about the show for the first time bc i'm seeing things i didn't catch on to when i watched the show. also the guy with the large front teeth is called "bus rodent" in the script and the guy who fucked fleabag up the ass is called "arsehole guy". it's so perfect

#loquitur #and there's a point to that of course #fleabag being reduced to only a vulgar nickname instead of being given a regular name like claire oreven a general identifier like godmothe #she's no better than the bus rodent or the arsehole guy. which is just a reflection of how she sees herself since the whole show/script is #deep-dive into her mind. we see Everything from her perspective!!! so it makes sense that her name would be fleabag since that's clearly ho #she views herself #hmmm probably shouldn't have left this in the tags. oh well #fleabag

Help.

[Fri 19 May 2023] [death, terminal illness]

Hey, it’s mod nat again. My last living grandparent is terminally ill and I’d like to visit her for her birthday, and have her meet my partner of more than 8 years for the first time. My grandma has idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which she’s had diagnosed for about 3 years. (Life expectancy with PF is 3-5 years on average.) I only was able to for the first time in roughly 10 years last fall due to my being no contact with my parents (+ rest of family by extension) from 2014-2021.

We need to fundraise for transportation to the greater Tkaronto/Toronto area from so-called “Ottawa” where I live. Both my partner and I are disabled and on social assistance, so can’t otherwise afford transportation.

Me at 3 1/2, playing with plasticene with my grandfather. I wouldn’t have had access to this photo, or any from my childhood, if you folks hadn’t helped me fundraise to get to my grandpa’s funeral back in 2021. It means a lot and I thank you.

Breakdown of funds needed:

~$80 CAD for transport there (we’re getting a ride part of the way there through my sibling)

~$100 CAD for transport the way back

$??? CAD for lodging (I don’t know the amount but want to reimburse the person covering it for me)

$?? CAD for food/other necessities

Helping would mean me getting to talk to a grandparent as my real self, when I wasn’t able to before, despite coming out as trans a dozen years ago.

If you want to help but can’t provide funds:

please consider registering to be an organ donor so that when you’re gone one day, other people can live. here’s the ontario link.

if you’re local to the GTA and can provide a place to sleep (especially an accessible one) in the future please reply (don’t DM, this is not my personal account)

if you’ve benefitted from the work I’ve done here, vouching for my character and realness in the reblogs makes a real difference in this kind of thing.

#it's really hard to write something so personal that's meant to be able to be reblogged #there's so much I'd go into in a post that's meant to help educate someone but #it's not the same when you're asking for help #rather than being a helper #also yeah the link says my name is buttons #this is something I do not have capacity to change rn #new cute nickname just dropped my partner said #(I was selling buttons at a craft show like a year ago and messed around with that idk) #one day I want to learn to drive and then I can just rent a car instead #mod nat #donation post

if i had a nickel for each pjsekai character whose favorite nickname when tiny is "little star" i would have a total of TWO nickels

#project sekai agere #TALKING IN THE TAGS i like to think that the fact they both share a nickname being purely coincidental too #tsukasas was given to him by emu and IMMEDIATELY loved it. he is the world future star after all #so obviously hes a star at any time. when hes just tiny hes a little star #ichikas was more of a gradual progression to the nickname #when she was first starting to regress around the other band members her nickname was usually “ichi” #then that turned to “little ichi”; until one day “little star” was brought up and it stuck #i like to ALSO think saki is aware of them having the same nickname but doesn't tell them as neither are aware of the other #she has different nicknames for them too. to saki tsukasa is “her baby brother” and ichika is icchan since she still likes icchan when small #fun fact wxs len's first outfit is also called little star in-game... maybe i have 3 nickels instead

IMAGINE JOHNNY AND SYZOTH BEING BESTIES

I can vividly hear and picture MK1 Johnny Cage affectionately calling Reptile "bud" or "buddy," or even "Zoth" as a nickname.

At least from what we've seen up to the Banished Trailer, MK1 Johnny is still the lovable jerk he always was... but from the beginning he seems to have a lot of compassion under the wisecracking bravado that I can't wait to see more of. Like the way he endearingly says "damn!" in awe at Reptile's invisibility power, and becomes Kenshi's seeing-eye himbo as he lets the blind man hold on to his shoulder as they walk through the forest warms my heart <333 I can’t wait to see Johnny’s capacity for kindness come thru in the story, especially for Reptile, lord knows he deserves it.

#mk1 reptile #mk1 syzoth #mk1 johnny cage #Johnny possibly being the first person to perceive Syzoth’s powers with amazement instead of fear or disgust…. ;_; #Syzoth’s gotta be touched-starved as hell poor baby :(( #imagine Johnny being the first person to give him a hug #let alone give him a nickname out of affection

reminding myself that they’re my characters & i can do whatever i want with them

#i’m changing dhes’ name to destiny #ok well. for clarification. i’m changing his LEGAL name to destiny. #the name on his birth certificate. #he still goes by dhestyn/dhes/dusty. like. that’s how everyone knows him #he changed his name when he was like 7-10 bc he hated it lol #that’s the lore i’m going with. i’m making the ridiculous spelling his fault instead of mine #ngl it has always bothered my that dani & dahlia’s names had regular spelling & dhes’ didn’t. like that just seemed so inconsistent to me #so this fixes that. also. #i love the idea of dhes & kel both having unconventional names. #i feel like it’s something he would keep a secret too. like kel probably would have no idea for the longest time #& one day he randomly picks up dhes’ driver’s license & is like hey wtf lol #also imagine dhes’ nickname as a toddler being ‘’tiny’’….. how cute would that be #his grandparents on his dad’s side absolutely still call him that to this day #rainyrambles

WHAT DO YOU THINK, WISE GIRL?

#percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo tv show #pjotv #percabeth #ohhhh my god #also percy originating the nickname instead of clarisse. sorry but i love it #also insert that tweet about seaweed brain being an actual insult #bs wise girl having the energy of an awkward middle schooler trying to pretend he doesnt have a crush

[takemetodragonstone]

i have recently been made aware that it’s not normal to feel discomfort and disgust when people use your given name? like that’s not what everyone who doesn’t like their name means when they say they don’t like their name?? hearing mine makes me cringe and sometimes even makes my skin crawl or my stomach drop and you’re telling me most people don’t experience this????

#if you noticed i took my name out of my bio that’s why #also exclusively using they/them pronouns online now #kinda want to try he/they and a new name i picked out but i am a coward #so ill see how i like they/them for now #is this the catalyst of my enby/trans awakening? #if i was more self aware i would have seen it sooner #tbf i did have a masculine nickname in high school that had no relation to my birth name except for beginning with the same letter #i didn’t come up with it myself but i did like it #and my sister has a different masculine/neutral nickname for me #and when my sister and i would play pretend I was always luke when she was leia #also i made half my barbies ftm trans ….. instead of just asking for boy barbies i transed them #I’ve always hated being called young lady or miss or a woman tbh #makes me feel strange. gives me the ick as the kids say #rambling in the tags #these tags are all over the place but im leaving them to document my thoughts lol #personal #trans #nonbinary #gender questioning #lgbtq+ #names

When somebody only uses my chosen name while putting me down, it kind of makes me wish I didn't have a name at all.

And when somebody only uses my pronouns when they try to coerce me into something, then switch back to they/them when talking about me to anybody else, it kind of makes me uncomfortable af.

I sincerely do not enjoy being labeled or referred to. Being referred to is such a negative experience for me irl.

Yet not giving people a set of name/pronouns when they ask automatically seems to make them think you're secretly a serial killer trying to cover up something?????? Or like you're untrustworthy and must be hiding because you're a Bad Person instead of just not wanting to label yourself.

Can I just please not be forced to label myself for everybody else's comfort?

I feel like that information is so personally intimate anyways like unless you know me and we're close, why do you even care? I don't think it's necessary for the first stages of getting to know somebody even though in this culture we've normalized it to be that way.

Plus if I don't give you a name then I have the opportunity to earn one. Give me a name that you think I deserve and let it be what you honor me by instead! How about that? It's probably the only way I'll be comfortably perceived since some people will change my labels as they see fit regardless. Just call me what you like, I feel like my name/pronouns have been corrupted as is

#i feel weird about having a name and a gender and pronouns assigned to me.... such a weird thing to make a big deal #i mean it's a big deal as in you need to write names down for job apps #and when i walked in to request for emergency aid the person looking at my case asked for my pronouns #which just felt so irrelevant and it didn't make me feel any more respected #and i can tell some people are so uncomfortable using the pronouns that i say are mine that they'll opt out for ones they give me instead #which is like WHY DID YOU ASK IF YOU WERE JUST GOING TO DO THAT ANYWAYS #silly things just don't make sense and to me they bring more trouble than they're worth #those things have been used as weapons against me so why keep giving ammo yk? #also i like the process of earning a nickname #one time this girl got offended that i reffered to her as snake girl the second time we met and i was like??? #imagine being offended that somebody remembered you for having 4 corn snakes instead of using your boring old name #like when people call me fuwa i feel like they're honoring me as a blogger #i get it i get it this culture is just so strictly uncreative and boring #if i had a cool new name from each person who knew me i would be so cool with that #like if somebody i met found out i liked sasuke and then started referencing to me as sasuke boy i would actually be so happy #idk dude #also sorry to that girl for calling her snake girl but honestly her loving her 4 snakes actually felt more significant to me than her name #in other cultures they refer to parents as “[insert child's name]'s mom/dad” and it's actually seen as being so respectful #like it's the family bond that gets honored instead of the individual and idk maybe some people take that to be a negative thing but #imagine as a parent loving your kid so much and then everybody identifies you as the parent who loves their kid #maybe that's dehumanizing in a sense idk #i see it as an honorable thing to be bestowed by others #yeah maybe people can be mean and call you “poop boy” for the one time you shit your pants while drunk #i get not liking being called “poop boy” but like dude... you're a legend and the story behind you earning that name would be legendary #idk i guess it's all about perspective #i don't know if I'm making sense #feel free to share thoughts #late night blogging
