#tho somehow my phone has saved Maidel’s last name into autocorrect which is great cuz I never remember how to spell it LMAO

Thinkin abt nicknames

Lusien is almost exclusively known as Lucy OOC but no one has ever called him that IC. The only way I could see that nickname becoming canon is if Ani’s crew started calling him that while he was sailing with them (which I’ll probs write a lil something abt him coming back to Vernrot at some point)

Similarly no one calls Mikiel Miki in canon because he hates nicknames and will correct/fight you on it. Glas calls him The Shorter And Angrier Mikail when he’s not in earshot tho LMAO they probs said it around him once but learned very quickly that Miki isn’t fun to antagonise, which is why they don’t tend to hang around him

Other nicknames that I use for my characters that don’t get used in canon: Nan (Nancor), Ei (Eichio), Zot (Zotick, Mauban calls him Zotti), Ana (Ananta), Ari (Ariete), Vil (Viltau, Kitaer and only Kitaer can call him Vivi), Val (Vallis), Bel (Belamy)

Callan doesn’t get shortened to Cal because I already nickname Kalpan Kal, and my nicknames are a first come first served basis. Amarys called him Green Bean when they were younger because she forgot his name lmao

Dismas calls everyone by their last name, with Maidel being the sole exception. She probably did get called Juzuxt a couple times after they first met as Dismas’ I Know More Than You Think Power Move, but at some point he went back to her first name probs without noticing. It’s easier to say and also lowkey a sign of Actual Affection, not even Aislin, Daimon or Fukkau get first name privilege and they’ve known him much longer
