#also crybaby showing that Elena is the true self insert

[fantastic-mr-corvid]

saw a post that got me thinking about stupid nicknames people give each other and while ive talked about my reasons for giving Celia n co the names & nicknames they have, i haven't talked as much about the in-universe reasons. under cut<3

Celia- actually her birth name! one of the only ones you will see here. Cecità- means blind/blindness. Elenas nickname for her because shes stubborn as fuck. Muro: wall- sounds somewhat cool and they were trying to be more mature at the time but it originated from Elena going a on a long rant about Celia being a stubborn mutt that kept slamming his head into the wall again and again- also jokes about Celia acting like shes built like a brick wall when shes not [yet] and her infamous pain tolerance. also: thick because shes not academically gifted and has dyslexia tombale: tomb. she uh. killed a lot of people. this is the one fully serious moniker out of the lot

Cecio- nickname/possible name for him that he later picked for his first name when he transitioned.

María Elena- two first names! goes by Elena mainly. Crybaby: at first she was crybaby because she cried when she was angry, but one guy commented to many times and she beat his ass so it became honorific [mostly]. Spina- crybaby evolved into just baby and then evolved into bitch and then evolved into thorny bitch. she may have thrown some guys into thornbushes. that then got shortened to just thorn.

Tesoro- 'sweetheart' he got high of his ass, waled into class, spent ten minutes with his head in his hands bright red mumbling to himself and when he finally raised it it turned out he had been crying because everyone was so cute. teddy-bear was also used but tesoro stuck.

Conficcare- to stick/to jab. 1. hes built like a stick. 2. he wanted to be a nurse. 3. he bitched about proper needle safety when injecting. 4. everyone knew he was gay. 5. he would threaten to shank people regularly.

Rametto- twig- didn't even get their own just got their brothers in a different way. also built like a stick and everyone knew was queer. [in nicer ways, rametto means twig/sprig so he was seen as a new growth/possibility] there's a joke about fruits and trees somewhere in there. preziose- precious, also part of precious stone- him and celia! stone wall and precious stone! also hes the 'precious' baby. and ofc they always liked jewelry and kids are homophobic.
