maybe i'd have named myself milo without, indirectly, jules feiffer illustrations, but their role can't have hurt
#jules feiffer who i looked up the other month like oh wow well into his 90s but still alive; nice. but who died the other day also at 95#wouldn't say his art was Directly very influential to me as someone who happens to draw but i saw it ever & liked it#very liney & someone inspired by newspaper comics primarily. me too. stay tuned#thread is that jules feiffer happened to illustrate the phantom tollbooth & think most editions you would encounter are now That One#(happened to be true in my finding the book in my elementary school library & reading it once)#meanwhile someone who also read the phantom tollbooth ever was like oh huge fan of the name milo. i'll name characters & children that#also i believe somewhat coincidentally very influenced by jules feiffer's art specifically. into also newspaper cartooning purposes#i somewhat coincidentally latch on to that material & go oh huge fan of the name milo as well. years before figuring out i'm nonbinary#but years After knowing my whole life like well i don't have a deadname if that implies it was once alive. never was My Name to me#getting biblical lol the way a class abt Mostly Biblical Women pointed out adam Names animals adam Calls this biblical woman eve#likewise not even so attached to the Significance of Naming myself like well i know who i am & who is this talking to me lol#they can use second person. just like in bloodsong of love (none of the major characters have Names. we just have smthing we call them)#find the idea of anything beyond a first name tricky like well i have some ideas i guess but w/all the Phonetics & Meanings to consider....#getting [th]e olde as well lastname thingyoudo. like i dunno what do You call it. milo bloggerqueer#beautiful....anyway none of this is that significant just an interesting tangle of Drawing & Milo
