#not cool enough for a nickname

[bolithesenate]

fun fact of the morning is that to me Tarre Vizsla was a cringefail jedi twink so horribly bad at jedi-ing that he did an accidental 180 and became Mand'alor

man's could not find a lightsaber crystal for his goddamn life, so much so that a mandalorian deity had to come and help out

then he crashed in someones backyard destroying half their tuber harvest when he took a wrong turn after going home from a bandomeer agricorps summit

the shame is too big so he ditches everything and becomes a weaver for a like year

only after that year does he even realize he landed himself in karking mandalorian space (the weaver he holes up at is an old lady and doesn't wear armor so he just never noticed)

meanwhile everyone back at the temple just assumed he died

over his year as weaver-apprenticing he also did odd little jobs here and there around the village. mostly helping people with paperwork and taxes and how to price grain to sell the next city over

which gets him implicitly elected like mayor of that village (mostly because no one else wants to do the paperwork)

which is how he, a failed jedi that crashed in someones backyard and just wallowed in shame ever since somehow is made to attend a city/region council as representative of that village (it is there that he realizes that wtf that's too many mandalorians for this to just be coincidence. those CANNOT all be bodyguards) (yes he had stereotypes)

still, apparently he is one of them now

(he is standing there like 🧍🏻 the only one in the room without any armor to speak)

but also definitely the only one with a single political bone in him (it was forcibly installed in him by the temple's teachers). and also the knowledge of How To Do Taxes (that and he weaves a mean rug)

which once again gets him elected representative of that council as well

so now he has to go to a House meeting in a month

(which is bad, he has a deadline on a new tapestry that needs to be done by then can't they just postpone? also what is a House and why do they have meetings)

the lady weaver who kinda just is his adoptive mom now just laughs and pats him on the head and tells him he'll figure it out. but oh maybe he should wear some armor for that one, House meetings have a tendency to get wild and many things are settled over honor duels. and the city/region he's representing sure would like for their needs to be defended.

meanwhile Tarre is panicking because the one thing he was worse at at Jedi School than actually being a jedi was lightsabering

he's decent at hand-to-hand but that was NOT worth any points in the eyes of the Battlemaster

(turns out he shouldn't have worried. 'decent at hand-to-hand' for an old republic jedi still meant 'kriffing lethal' in comparison to everyone else.)

his region's demands have never been represented better

especially since he also does know the maths to make it work in the long run.

that gets him noticed by the like son or heir or whatever of the Head of the House, who promptly makes Tarre his right hand (Tarre agreed to it either while drunk -- he is a sad drunk and JEdi aRE SupPOseD To hELP aaaaaaaa -- and was guilttripped into it OR he misunderstood the assignment to be a weaving commission)

(because, in Tarre's mind, that IS still his day job)

and so on and so forth it spirals out of control farther and farther until one day he is there helping represent the mandalorian side in a trade dispute with the republic and the other side have jedi with them (ofc) and he is one again just doing his best statue impression trying not to be noticed only he forgot that mandalorians announce themselves and their whole allegiance and lineage in front of everyone so he gets first-name-last-named by his new boss in front of his old boss and it does horrors to his nerves that much is certain

only the jedi just kinda squint and then leave it uncommented so he thinks he's safe until HIS OLD MASTER JUST TELEPORTS STRAIGHT INTO THE DINNER ROOM DEMANDING TO KNOW WHY HE WASN'T THERE FOR THE LAST TWELVE LINEAGE DINNERS

#is this about one of my many wips? yes it is #cringefail jedi tarre for thw win #i have had enough of all those edgy and cool and imposing and competent tarres out tgere #this one gets called 'my little creature' by his master and he thinks its the best nickname ever #fay calls him that because by god his genetic makeup is an affront to every biologist #they just put a good dozen species in a blender for that one and called it a day #he has so many eye problems (being part chiss part miraluka part keshian and part whatever else will do that to you) #the reason there is no surviving moniker for him is because everyone later on assumed 'Mand'alor the Weaver' was a mistranslation #and just scratched it out #but he was a weaver! it was the handiwork he learned!! he was proud of it #(his jedi master standing in the corner shaking her head like) #anyways yeah thats this #me writing #random boli thoughts #star wars #tarre vizsla

#nonbinary #Kinda prefer being able to still use Dani/Danno as a nickname but it's not a requirement #they/them #would appreciate if this gets shared so i can get more answers ❤ #Dante and D'Angelo were on the list at one point but I already know a Dante and I feel like I'm not cool enough to be a D'Angelo

[fantomette22]

Also kind of funny how people say i’m quite discreet and don’t talk a lot when i’m afraid i talk too much (maybe too loud or too fast) and afraid i ended up annoyed them. (Can smn explain pls xD)

anyway it’s late i apologize if it doesn’t make so much sense it is late)

#i mean i know teachers have been tellign for years i don’t participate enough in class. sorry i just have nothing to say or don’t want too #also my pseudo/ nickname is literally fantomette aka ghost/ fantôme (feminine nickname) because i’m silencious #and people don’t know where i am (in my own house!) and now apparently i spawn next to people xD #yeah had a nice evening where i talked more with nice acquaintances at schools! and yeah i wonder… #is it a neurodivergent moment 😅 #when i’m passion about smt i talk. A LOT. maybe too much. i always reflect how i say dumb things or perhaps ´cut’ too much people #and that i should just shut it and listen #cut = too much intervention/ adding stuff? #so yeah nice suprised i supposed. but yeah if i don’t directly talk to smn or have nothing to say well i listen/ go on my phone/ daydream #i already talk to myself a lot. not ok to do that in public lol #so yeah interesting 🤔 if smn know smt about well that subject could be cool #didn’t have anyone really close so i hang myself to group. but that’s cool re having friends time like earlier today with other cool people #autism adhd ? infj or just well me being me who knows i still don’t know

I remember when everyone thought Lightning's name was Ruin when he was first introduced because of bad translations and when some people in the fanbase were in denial that his name was Lewin because it just wasn't a cool name

#i mean his nickname is lightning isnt that cool enough for ya #meffy rambles #aoex #blue exorcist #ao no exorcist #lewin light

[collecting--stardust]

your name is alaine?? sorry i just read your bio what a beautiful name 💗

Ahh thank you 🫶🏻 Isabella is a beautiful name too, classic and elegant 🌸

Alaine is actually not my birth name but it's my English name. My twin just randomly look up for the English name equivalent to the meaning of her birth name one day so I asked her to search for mine, and we found the name 'alaine'. I love it, so I've been using that name online since 💕

#my birth name is very simple and short so im like :/ #i believe alaine means something like precious? not exactly the same meaning as my birth name but close enough so yeah #maybe if i had a cooler name or a cool nickname i would go by that instead HAHAHAHA #la réponse 💗

Artair's Name

When first meeting someone, Artair will likely introduce himself as Arthur. Many of his friends and family know him as Artair, and if you earn his trust he will likely give you that name as well.

Hiding it started in middle-school for him; he was bullied for having a 'weird' name and accent, so he made efforts to conceal both. He went by the more anglicized 'Arthur', until he was in his twenties. While his American accent has stayed, Artair realized that he didn't care what other's thought about his name, as this was the one he and his uncle chose for himself. He reconnected with it, and considers it his true name.

Now, "Arthur" serves as a protective measure instead. When dealing with supernatural creatures, especially some that belong to fae classifications (of which there are many in the wild woods near Cadence), a true name contains power, and offering it freely is a dangerous risk. Arthur as a name still has some connection to him, yet isn't his, not truly, and that makes it useful as a middle ground. If he isn't sure of your origins and/or intentions, he will offer it as a way to address him, until you gain his trust.

#headcanon #i figured i would write this since he did this recently in a thread and I want to be clear it's an intentional choice on his part #and not a typo xD #he's not cool enough to get a mysterious edgy nickname so he just goes with his but to the left lol #Artair Kingston #Artair #Artair Headcanon

right, so on the one hand, the results of that "does charlotte have a soul or not" poll would be a punch to the gut for char ( it was a NO majority ), but on the other hand, what would make her happy is to see . . . ( that is, what I'm noticing ) is how over the years, more of you guys are having your muses refer to her as "char." it's such a small detail, but it's so neat to see what was essentially shorthand only used for her in ooc context gradually begin to show up more often in actual threads / ic - dialogue.

#I'm just surprised it's changed to the point where it /is/ noticeable. #There was a point where “char” really as what she was called only in ooc context #Otherwise it was either Charlotte or no name mentioned at all #Which makes sense seeing as she doesn't introduce or even refer to herself as Char . She /never/ does #(She doesn't stop people who get her mixed up and consistently call her the wrong name either) #(But that's besides the point) #Which means that to call her Char... you first have to RETAIN that Charlotte's her name #Then I suppose you'd also have to /know/ her well enough to get the feeling that Char suits her as a nickname #(ie. as opposed to charlie/lottie or keeping to the full name Charlotte) #and FINALLY you'd have to be /comfortable/ !! enough to actually call her by that nickname ... not out of convenience but /bc/ it suits her #like I said - it's just this minuscule detail but it's cool to see from a writing perspective #especially to come out of collaborative rp writing #it's the whole /we/ know her as char but the characters don't unTIL they decide to and it's got that: #“my name is so-and-so but my friends call me this-and-that” #EXCEPT char would rarely if /ever/ think that she'd actually be able to assert smth like that aside from being coy and facetious about it #More like “I'm Charlotte but The Primordial Void That Created and Haunts Me calls me Charlie” #Anyways! just both me and charlotte squealing and kicking our feet whenever someone refers to her as Char ic #pretty cool pretty cool

Sokka: Hey, wanna see my Space Sword?

Suki: Uhhhhh...well, I do, but...I kinda want to wait till we’re married...?

Sokka:

Sokka:

Sokka:

Sokka: No, babe — I mean that I have an *actual* Space Sword. A sword. From space. Here it is.

Suki: 😮

#gonna guess that her reaction to his other sword is the same tho 🤪😏 #but yeah she knows Sokka well enough to guess that he’s already nicknamed his ding dong #and she’s right of course #but it’s official name is actually “the Unagi” #calling it his space sword is catchy and cool but also kinda confusing #like what if they’re in the middle of a battle and Suki is like “hey take out your space sword” #what’s Sokka supposed to do there exactly? #drop his pants? #or unsheath his weapon? #or ask for clarification? #sokka #suki #sukka #sukka incorrect quotes #incorrect sukka #incorrect atla #avatar incorrect quotes #atla #avatar #avatar the last airbender #just to be safe #scram minors! #no minors #nsft #nsf tumblr #not safe for tumblr

I keep thinking about trans Yohane … ☺️🏳️‍⚧️

#i barely remember canon tbh but… that makes it even better tbh 😂 #I like having hcs and if it’s a popular hc makes it even easier #ik she preferred “Yohane” but makes me think about “Yoshiko” - could that be a name she was given? not Deadname?? 🤔 #Could Maru have nicknamed her that when they were kids and at the time Yohane was ? bc it wasn’t cool(chuu2)enough for her 😂 #but now she’s older she realises it’s probably a more normal sounding name than Yohane - she isn’t a foreigner! what kinda name is that anyw #ect.. 🤔🤔🤔 iirc there was a scene like that in LLS .. it’s been yeaaaars tho so #my memory sucks </3 #anyways #trans Yohane #Idw tag this but love live #ppl scary… especially love livers orz not all of them Ofc but … </3 quite a few #Kanna rambles

kid headcannon for citrowan bc im cringe

Rowan hates the idea that anyone would grow up feeling as neglected as he felt. he decides that any kids he has are the center of his universe before they’re even born. Citra is that parent who reads her kids Astrophysics for Babies. She was mentored by scythe curie, she can’t help it.

Their daughter’s name is Marie, but she loves the stars and the universe and grows up hearing about her starfaring parents from a far-away planet. Rowan calls her “Mars” one day and it sticks.

@thetonethetollandthethunder please move in chess

#arc of a scythe #scythe #I don't know if they have any other kids or what's up with them don't @ me #myposts #i went 'how do I give them a plausible name that's still cool' because I feel like citra and rowan are unique names #and definitely they would maybe choose boring ass names for their kids #cause really theyve had enough excitement in their lives for a lifetime #but then my brain was like 'WAIT YOU CAN NICKNAME MARIE MARS' #also the roman god of war #don't tell me the daughter of scythe lucifer wouldn't be named after a war god #that's sick as fuck

i cannot emphasize enough that i ship bbrae in a very trans, very gay, very QUEER way and i just simply cannot relate to the 90% cishet content out there... like have fun but the vibes arent doin it for me most of the time!!!

their vibes are SO specific to me... and ive only encountered a very small handful of people that have had the same view of them ksjdksn....

#raven is nonbinary as hell and likes everyone but tbh prolly unlabeled #she doesnt see a reason to find a specific word to deacribe her ... #but if prompted she would probably say nonbinary or genderqueer #gar is a bisexual trans man but not like 100% a dude either. hes got some special gender juice goin on #like hes every single creature in the animal kingdom.. he doesnt feel fully *HUMAN* let alone fully *male* #and he tbh takes a while to see/accept his sexuality but he does eventually #by the time hes like 19 hes probably accepted the fact that he likes men (and everyone else) #like he always liked guys but he figured it was just... admiration of his cool older teammates #also also gar knew he was trans super duper young so his birth parents knew/accepted him and let him name himself #he of course named himself after his favorite lasagna loving orange cat. bc he was like 4 #he kinda regretted it bc garfield is a super dorky name but he likes the nickname gar a lot so he kept it lol #also the doom patrol also knew and accepted him but he didnt actually start transitioning until the titans #galtry knew but did not accept him and usually refused to call him by his chosen name :/ #like gar passed well enough at that age so he had to refer to him accordingly to keep face but he didnt ever respect gar in any way #also about the bbraes specifically istg they need to be at least 21 and have know eachother since like 15 to be anywhere close to ready #like if they tried to date amy time before that it would absolutely not go well custheyre both too immature and young to be with eachother #like they could date someone else. someone easier. bc they are not easy to be with. theyre both difficult broken lil bastards #and they need years of maturity and built up trust and friendship and mutual understanding before taking that leap #or else the leap will lead to falling into a giant ravine and dying (metaphorically) #basically they need to be best friends before they make that move bc theyre both too messy for it to work out otherwise... #so theres years of pining and a while where each of them actually KNOWS the other feels the same... but they know neither of them is ready #so i imagine its less of a 'woah theyre together now!!!' and more just... the next logical step when the time arrives #they come together slowly and gently and without fanfair... (until kory finds out and screams so loud the entire tower hears it of course)

How come Murdoc didn't hurt Sydney?

OH uuuhm,,he did hurt her in plastic beach but it didnt exactly affect her due to her being desensitized to abuse and the fact she was overly loyal to him bc of murdoc reminding her of a CERTAIN SOMEONE

#gorillaz #gorillaz oc #plastic beach #did you know that sydney actually goes by spark due to her firecracker personality? #2D originally came up with this nickname but the band thought it fit well enough #I feel like referring to her as that now bc idk it sounds cool??? ok

as we speak, 10, at minimum, handsome long haired men are floating in a glitched purgatory brought about by a failed attempt to summon god. they know that just one dimensional plane over, things are fine. "why did it have to be us, the ones they loved so much, reduced to guinea pigs of this twisted experiment? why is it that the most loved of us needed to be destroyed?"

the oldest and wisest of the residents of this world, however, knows. she who bears the name of the rejected metal.

"kira's just not very smart when it comes to save editors."

#aka: made a booboo messing with a ykw3 save editor :( and now i dont know how to bring my original save back #the like ten shutendojis including shootydo the beloved are in agony. #its cool though. its old enough to where my file's named after my dead-nickname. #shame to lose all those hours but with all those little guys named after my 'ex' its like... hm #i dont have an apt metaphor. uh. time loop?????? #i guess you could make that into a time loop if you tried. ive seen more mysterious manners of enforcing a time loop

anyway Im just thankful that ive gone from "thinking their name accidentally is a blasphemous transgression" to. i mean. i would say something about how Leviathan & Storm Mom and I can literally just talk shit out like hey did you mean this in a bad way? No? ok. or talk about how we can poke and prod each other. or about how i finally feel like im not a burden despite all my issues having just left a fucking cult. but like the progression can be symbolically summarised in Leviathan being like "yeah you can call me Lev online you've earned that" last night

#going from being told that these people hate my guts and thinking about their (fake) name is wrong #to finally meeting them and working to form a relationship with them to the point that we're working together daily - Storm Mom to a #lesser degree but she will always be in the bg - and like. my work with them and my relationship to them is recognised in this way #sorry. names and language are important to me lmfao. also im australian so nicknames are..... #anyway. Lev isn't just shortening his name its a reference to some Cosmic Law stuff IE its a reworking of that name of his to like #ah. anyway. personal stuff. its basically calling to his root energy and himself beyond any mask and form he comes to me in and #recognising the Black Hole within AND IT IS ALSO A CASUAL NICKNAME so to go from fearing these peoples' opinions of me #to finding out no they dont hate me. to finding my feet again post-cult. to working for the first time in years on forming relationships #w people that arent my ex...... to making this blog...... to being told ''yeah i mean you deserve to be able to call me that publicly #and if anyone says shit about it well what do they know. youve worked to form a relationship with me thats mutual and #mutually beneficial enough to publicly. on your Priest Roleplay Blog. call me that'' like. cool. thanks. cries #but also doesnt cry bc like yeah i feel.................... weirdly stable #ramblings // #diary //
