Thinking about. Rizbert. Erizabeth. Rizwalda. Riz has to be short for something because... because why? Is he 'too good' for a short name? (a goblin name?) Isn't he surrounded by non-goblins who cannot think outside their cultural perceptions of what a name is supposed to be? Riz both as a name and as a person seems short & lesser but don't worry, he's really something greater, something larger and longer than can be expressed with his native name. As if something small cannot be powerful and important without secretly being large. As if there is only one way to be great. It's like Sklonda said, his name is Riz. Just Riz, as if there's anything 'just' about it.
#is this a joke. yes#but jokes are indicative of wider social things in the (fictional) world#and i find this a useful lens#also Sklonda literally says 'i don't like that your friends call you that. Your name is Riz'#clearly this is something the text touches on#and there's definitely a racialized aspect to it#plus the importance of names is kinda a running theme in FH#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year spoilers#fantasy high junior year#riz gukgak#fhjy#fhjy spoilers#d20 fhjy#dimension 20 fhjy#d20#dimension 20
