#petty nicknames

[our-king-bree]

woke up loving the headcanon where Katelyn finds out that Andrew calls her "the cheerleader" –and mind you, she's very proud of being a cheerleader but she's been told that Andrew does it with a condescending tone and that just won't do– so she starts calling Andrew "the goalie".

When Andrew finds out he doesn't get mad but he's offended like c'mon Katelyn couldn't think of something else? He's getting associated with the position he, reluctantly, plays in Exy? That's just wrong. Of course he doesn't tell anyone that this bothers him, he will rather die than admit that the cheerleader got under his skin –annoying, intolerable, should've got rid of her when he got the chance. Whatever now's too late, Aaron's too attached and they're making progress, he won't harm the cheerleader but only because he's on good terms with his brother and he doesn't want that to change–. So he doesn't tell anyone but he, slowly, progressively, definitely not rushing, he doesn't care that much, stars referring to Katelyn as Katelyn.

The first few times he calls her different varieties of her name along with "the cheerleader". It goes like this:

"It's the cheerleader Kamila coming?"

"Will the cheerleader, uhm, Kara be there?"

"With who? The cheerleader? Kaylee?"

Aaron can see that something is going on but whatever it is will probably be good for them as brothers. After all, he still refers to Neil as Josten –and sometimes asshole, sue him Josten is an asshole–. So he doesn't say anything but just nods along and says "Yeah, Katelyn it's coming" "Yeah, Katelyn will be there".

When Andrew finally calls Katelyn Katelyn, Aaron can't stop smiling and he even texts Kate the news with a lot of emojis and exclamation marks ((((HE CALLED YOU KATELYN LIKE ACTUALLY KATELYN AND NOT KAVINSKY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!! ☺️☺️💕💕❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🙏🙏)))

Katelyn beams proudly. She does not stop calling Andrew "the goalie" for at least another eight months, she is petty like that. And if she sometimes calls Andrew "Andres" no one needs to know.

All the Foxes know, she calls him Andres in front of every single one of the Foxes cause she may like them but she knows they can't keep a secret if their life depended on it. Once again she is petty like that.

I think it'd be a lot more tragic if José wasn't the antagonistic asshole we all assume him to be. At least, not from his point of view.

Could you imagine a José who is genuinely trying to be friendly with his baby brother in his own weird way; initiating meaningless competitions between them because he can see how excited Alejandro gets when his competitive fire is nurtured, playfully roughhousing with him as a form of bonding, trying to set a good example for his baby brother by meeting their parents impossibly high standards and encouraging him to do the same, so on so forth.

A José who's completely oblivious to Alejandro's hostility towards him, who perhaps makes himself too present in his younger brother's life because of how vacant his older brother Carlos had been to him. Who genuinely thinks that Alejandro shares the same perspective on their relationship - since their parents have all but banned healthy communication in their household, and the Burromuertos at large are in the habit of masking their true feelings/thoughts.

I just think it'd be interesting to explore things from José's point of view without making him some irredeemable villain. Plus, learning how Alejandro really views him from a reality television show of all things would beprime angst material.

see, it’s not that tony has anything against the name bucky.

it’s… fine. maybe not the best name, and definitely one that should be teased about incessantly, but only out of love and respect, of course. it’s a perfectly decent name. a great nickname, in fact. and it does actually suit james very well.

other nicknames suit james just as well though. terminator, winter wonder, buckaboo, freezer burn, barnes and noble, robocop, swashbuckler. and so on, and so forth.

tony just will not call him bucky. he refuses.

for the simple reason that tony was not the one to come up with the nickname. it’s the principle of the matter, that’s all.

Reading With the Old Breed thoughts Part 16:

love how Sledge is like the corpsman are amazing, so cool, helpful- just like how everyone is saying how awesome medics in the army- we love these guys, they are angels, saving us, so kind- we love Doc Caldwell-

then Sledge is like EXCEPT FOR THIS MF ASSHOLE HERE

enter 'Doc Arrogant', the corpsman with the worst bedside manner known to man, apparently, and also kind of a an asshole. I don't know if the nickname was just Sledge's or what everyone called him- but that's his nickname.

Apparently, they were lining up to get shots- all the corpsman were super nice about it, cause it really hurt and the Marines were kinda scared/uncomfortable about the needle- which is very sweet, and a feeling to which I can relate. Now Doc Arrogant was kinda a dick about it, and just jabbed them real hard- and one guy is like do that, and I will punch you right back just as hard- yells at him if I remember correctly. and Doc Arrogant listens lol as he probably should.

There's always that ONE guy in every group I guess

Are you willing to share your 'Most Hated' list? No...of course not. We're not doing that one.

Anyone on the schedule coming up? No comment.

So...10 months? Give or take?

I'm sorry. Here's a 7k word chapter.

I'm really sorry. I hope you enjoy. This was a hard chapter to write :,DDD

I haven't talked about Francetto a lot lately (BUT only 5 chapters away from a finished IP rewrite, so Watch Out), but I haven't thought in a loooooong time about their weird fighting kink. Like, how they just love to sratch and bite and push and shove and actually wrestle for the upper hand, because it gives Dolco a sense of worth and superiority AND he likes Franci being evil and Franci likes harsh physicality and he likes em feisty. Plus, whatever makes Dolco happy and helps him cope. (No matter how unhealthy.)

Still the best thing to come out of this is like. The rest of Team Italy kind of knowing. Doesn't matter if Franci told any of them, they like. Know. and while Rella and Fabio tactfully, if slightly concerned at times, ignore it, the Vargas are just like. "You've got to stop fucking like that, you're gonna cost me a good man one day, Cicci." - Lovi. "Yeah, there's only so much flesh on those bones, he bruises easily!" - Feli. And Dolco is just there like "STATE ZITTI STATE ZITTI STATE ZITTI, AMMAZZOVI!!!". About to commit incredibly unsexy murder.

I uh.. Might have made another flower child based on one of my old FO4 bbys. Meet Petunia!

don't count on getting any actual da fic from me any time soon but i have been rotating a scene of isenril astral-projecting herself into the fade post-game just to have a little chitchat with solas

these two were Not Friends during dai. like, every so often it would seem like things were maybe crossing the line from 'civil' into 'friendly,' but they'd end up butting heads again within the hour, progress reverted lmao

& she's definitely Mad at him but also. he didn't win this. he tripped over his own feet while refusing to meet anyone halfway& made himself suffer for it. she doesn't feel bad for him, but she's curious. what was the point of it all? were you really so lonely & full of grief that you're tear everything down a second time? were the literal Years he spent with them not enough to convince him that this world was full of 'real' people? she's not actually expecting answers, she just wants this to be the last conversation he thinks about. she's planning on being long dead before he decides to cross back over & make a problem of himself anyway. it doesn't matter. her missing flesh hand has become a series of interchangeable, intricate accessories & it functions more or less the same. she stopped being angry about that some years ago.

in lieu of a goodbye, she asks if he regrets it, keeping her alive instead of letting the mark consume her & she believes it when he finally says that he doesn't. of course she doesn't take this as like. a kindness. or any indication of growth. because in her eyes, he absolutely should. he's lucky it was someone else to confront him & not her. being bound to the veil is a kindness; whatever she would have done wouldn't even have been close.

she wanted to talk for some sort of closure for her own sake. whether he found any peace in that final interaction or not isn't any of her business. 10 years ago, there was a seat left for him at the table beside multiple people who tried their best to understand him. she's not going to carry the burden of guilt just because he thought himself too good to sit down.

lol how can you ship aiura with the literal sex offender that constantly calls her tits mcgee and then say HE deserves better? and say that he gets "done dirty by canon?" like, what does that even mean? that's just who he is, there's nothing to like there, there's nothing redeemable, and it's kinda gross that you want to pretend like there is and ship him with one of his targets of harassment. it's not cute. when he had a ghost tell him what underwear she was wearing, was that like, a shipping moment for you?

yawn i dont careee

the version of toritsuka in my head and in the heads of a lot of the people in this fandom is way less bad than canon (it’s called a headcanon), and i happen to really like the guy in my head, that’s why i say he was done dirty lol. you might not like him and you might not like this ship but that has nothing to do with me

and just because im petty, here’s some of my favorite mikosuka art and fics:

i don't think anyone understands how badly i want seven wonders to be animated solely so i can see kyon and t's incredibly silly nickname conversation with accompanying visuals

[nenoname]

it's kinda petty but i'm glad the new stuff we've got further reinforced ford not using nicknames and mostly calling stan 'stanley' because i never liked the hc of ford calling him 'lee'

like there's the whole added meaning to their regular nicknames where a huge part of stanley's identity is intertwined to being part of a set because he feels like he's nothing by himself so he keeps the part of the name they both share vs stanford feeling suffocated by everyone in his childhood seeing him as a twin and less of an individual so he uses the part that belongs to him alone

and idk i feel like there's more of an oomph to ford being one of the few who calls stan by his full first name that he hasn't used in decades

also i always liked the similarity of stan and bill both being nicknamers but still coming up with different ones (eg poindexter+goody nerd-shoes vs iq+brainiac) which makes bill stealing the 'sixer' nickname stand out even more
