and if i added Ix as a (nick)name? 🤨🤨🤨🤨
#there’s a reason i’m posting this at 4am ignore me#yes this is a hitchhikers guide reference#anyways it’s an idea i’ve been bouncing around for a while#i’ve never felt particularly connected to any name. i went by jade cus it sounded cool then grey as a shortened version of my deadname#but nothing really feels like it sticks yknow? but i feel a little connected to Ix because of its meaning#yeah it was supposed to be an insult to ford but part of me feels the need to reclaim that part of my identity#embrace it as a part of me despite how sad and hurt being disconnected from my culture makes me feel#idk. and i don’t think id use it a lot because i do want like a ‘normal’ name#maybe i should find a name that can be shortened to Ix#also for those wondering: Ix translates to “boy who is not able to satisfactorily explain what a hrung is nor why it should choose to#collapse on betelgeuse seven” in the language of betelgeuse five#it is also important to note that ford could not say his own name which is why the b5 kids had to give him one#and why his father died (he died of shame which is still a terminal disease in some parts of the galaxy)
