i think it's about time that we acknowledge that, no, that character would Not change their name in a groupchat! especially not to that. and, no, that character would not change everyone else's names! especially not to that.

#my drafts are back up to almost 800 sooooo have this post i made a couple weeks ago!!!#it irks me SO MUCH #most people just use their names or nicknames😭#i'm sorry but i.ida would not make his name 'sonic' and j.irou/m.omo would not include 'lesbian' in their names even if they are #c.huuya would not make his name about his height (god we get it the short jokes are so annoying to me personally it just feels like #a way to infantilize him) and d.azai would not make his name about bandages and lord knows k.unikida is NOt changing his name at all #most people don't make their names their sexuality i just. don't understand why almost all chat fics include like. 'lesbian queen' which #like ig if it's someone using it to come out or for pride month that checks but most of the time the characters i see with their sexuality #in their name are characters tHAT WOULD NEVER DO THAT!!! at least use characters who would😭 like j.irou's too shy and m.omo is too reserved #and like sorry not sorry but d.enki and s.ero and m.ina are not going to just instantly change everyone's chat names - most people don't ge #into a chat and go 'imma change everyone's names' and like i could deal with it if they gave them names that made sense #bUT THEY DON'T!!! also so many anime chatfic writers give them american type names like reference american artists #it's just like. they prolly don't listen to as much american music as you think they do. japan has musicians too. like. they're not america #sorry i genuinely love the concept of chatfics and think they're a FANTASTIC way to analyze character and i even did a whole lesson on #characterization in texting last semester! it was really fun too like the kids enjoyed it! but like. most characters won't text the way you #do. and people just. always make them type the way they do. or use actual convos from griupchats but don't make it fit the characters #just. mmmmmmmmm.#idk why but gc fic names bother me So Much lol #AM DONE NOW SORRY GUYS #corey talks:)
