#what if i want to change my name legally now :(

[coolbeesbro]

Reblogging this again to boost it since there have still been 0 sales, and I’m now falling behind on bills and need to make sure my pets stay fed.

I’m also 0 steps closer to a name/sex change on my legal documents, and I can’t get a passport before those are done. I’m trying to focus on stocking up on things for my pets as well as lay out the groundwork I need to in case I have to flee the country.

I put together an Amazon pet supplies wish list if people would rather just help with them and are uninterested in what I’m selling/want to know what their money is going towards. Despite how much I want the document's updated, they're always priority number one for me.

The peeping stickers are finally in! (3"-3.5")

Along with them, there are new prints, pins and cards! You can buy these stickers in a 5 piece bundle for a deal, or buy a few individually! I will work with you on packaging all items if you'd like things set up individually or grouped bags to given as gifts!

The first 25 orders will get a free goodie bag with one 1" holographic vinyl Narinder sticker, one 2" temporary Kalamar tattoo, and one 1.75" Narinder heart holographic pin! Help support a trans artist with every order, and all orders are delivered within 3-5 business days!

eveyone calling dabi touya after the reveal is making me wanna claw my eyes out because HOW IS EVERYONE MISSING THE POINT SO FUCKING BADLY

THE POINT IS THAT HE ISN’T TOUYA AND HE NEVER WILL BE AGAIN BECAUSE TOUYA IS DEAD

dabi was created from the ashes of touya and that’s literally the whole point

he can never BE touya again because of the things he’s done and the small issue that touya is legally dead

AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE WANTS TO BE TOUYA AGAIN??????

he wants NOTHING to do with the todoroki’s and tries to actively distance himself from his family

ik he is so fucking pissed in the afterlife because everyone is calling him touya when he’s not touya he’s DABI

same with shigaraki. this one is definitely an unpopular opinion but people calling him tenko just feels so wrong to me

i just hate it when people think that just bc it’s technically their real names is means is *their name*

like sure my legal name is my legal name but *my name* is caleb

anyway i just wanna scream sometimes

You bring a very interesting point!!

This is something I haven't really realised, but now that you mentioned it and now that I am looking back at various different posts, I can tell how different people sometimes use dabi and touya interchangeably and yeah actually it makes sense why you're mad about it.

A core part of Dabi's character is that he is no longer Touya. Touya died the minute he went back to his old home, and everyone forgot about him, and nothing changed. The greif and emotions that young touya held to try and appease to his father burned away turning touya into ashes and that's how dabi was born.

Yes, the phoenix imagery with Dabi is strong. The death of touya, where touya turns into ashes and dabi is born from those ashes, is something so slept on by the fandom!!

People using dabi and touya interchangeably is like someone using jink and powder interchangeably. The plot for both mha and arcane has made it clear that those characters are two different people.

Jink isn't powder, and powder isn't jink. They might be the same person genetically speaking, but they aren't the same when it comes to character and personality.

The same thing goes for dabi and shigaraki. However, the plot of Mha does make it an integral part of Dabi's character it literally focuses and says it directly on chapter 350!!

Dabi, like you said, will never be touya, and touya will never be dabi. I have noticed that even when it comes to me writing my analysis, I have never really used dabi and touya interchangeably. When it comes to me talking about touya, I talk about touya, and when I talk about dabi, I talk about dabi (this doesn't make sense, but I have no way of fully explaining it tbh)

Shigaraki is a bit more complicated and a bit of a grey area. Yes, he also has the same thing as both dabi and jink, yet it's not made or focused to be an integral part of his character. I personally blame the writing for that instead.

With shigarakis character, it's kind of the opposite of jink and dabi. What I mean is that the narrative kind of goes out of its way to make it clear that shigaraki will always be tenko even if he tries to reject that. This can be seen with izuku seeing tenko or during shigaraki's fight with afo and mirio he mentions HIS backstory with HIS friends.

As much as shigaraki may try to reject it, he is tenko, and in the end, he acknowledges that. He dies as both tenko and as the leader of the leauge of villains.

dear mum,

5 years later i now understand that you were trying to protect me in the way that you thought was best, but to my young queer mind, hearing ‘don’t label yourself, don’t talk about it’ was hearing ‘i am embarrassed by you, you will never be good enough for me’

i don’t know if i will ever feel good enough for you again.

me choosing my name as a trans guy: yeah i i'll just choose something common. i want it to sound decent in multiple languages and i don't want people to judge me for choosing a weird name haha :)

meanwhile, my deadname: uncommon name with an even rarer spelling that everyone got wrong despite being easy to pronounce from some old brazilian mermaid myth.

no one in my family is brazilian.

I don't know if it's rude to ask, so apologies in advance if I sound mean, but… how come you repeatedly bring up old posts of yours from three or more years ago? Do you remember each original post you make and intentionally bring them back? Like, I don't think there's anything wrong, your blog can be whatever you want, obviously, and your stuff is always funny or curious in some way, just… I'm kind of lost as of how it came to be, I guess? I don't think I remember my own posts after 6 months, much least if I have to go back to 2020!

ahaha no it's usually just because i'm going back through a tag looking for something else! i recently went back through my entire "my posts" tag (which contains...1468 posts, dear lord) and while i was doing that saw several posts that i felt like reblogging for whatever reason. so it's usually not that i remember them and go looking for them on purpose, it's that i come across them incidentally in the course of doing something else.

if you want to know why i reblog them after coming across them, 1) usually i don't! you are seeing the tip of the iceberg lol, and 2) it's mostly because it's hard to resist the "sooo true, bestie" urge, even when the bestie is just...yourself.

Evermore anon, I just reblogged @wavesoutbeingtossed’s brilliant posts of that exact theme! YES something about all of this and the weight of forever, the reality of a a future that forces a person to get truly philosophical about joining together two humans in such a final and intimate ceremony. That introspection can recomtextualize a lot of relationship stuff that maybe felt more symbolic or abstract until it’s Happening.

I still think about the name I came up with when I was unsure if I liked my legal name and like jeioebe could the world be super cool about having 2 names or that using a different name at all than legal wasnt nerve wracking please

[jorvikzelda]

how ethical is it to steal somebodys name

[slippery-minghus]

okay!! i'm doing it!!!! first baby step towards a legal name change has been taken!!!!

[clementiens]

ok i have decided i'm changing my name. i was on the fence between fionn and liam (which had been a contender before i was born) so i'm just going to use both! fionn is my first name, liam and my current legal name will both be middle names. why not both. long names are nice

[one-winged-dreams]

Me: I'm extremely traumatized to the point of literal CPTSD because I've never been good enough for anyone and the goddamn goalposts keep getting moved but if I give up I'm going to end up with bruises again so all I can do is sob and cry while I'm sprinting to catch up to a standard I'll never meet and goddammit I just want someone to love me and let me be a fucking lunatic about it as long as I'm not like genuinely being a hindrance to the relationship dynamic WHICH I'VE ALSO NEVER EXPERIENCED BECAUSE I'M SO JADED ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF LOVE THAT I REFUSE TO SETTLE FOR SOMEONE I'M ONLY PASSIVELY INTERESTED IN, BUT WHEN SOMEONE CAME ALONG THAT I GENUINELY FELL IN LOVE WITH I THREW MYSELF AT HIM AT FULL FORCE AND NOW HE HAS TO DEAL WITH MY NEUROTICISM BUT HE DOESN'T??? SEE IT AS A PROBLEM??????

Prestor: Hm, that's a lot.

Prestor: This is going to be a very interesting game for us.

Me: What?

Prestor: What?

[theood]

Really thinking about legally changing my name now. I was waiting for... Reasons. Some real some just because I didn't feel like I could but like. You know.
