trans and nonbinary people (and cis if you apply!), how did you pick your name?

  • Everybody gather round for a real horror story: I chose mine because of Harry Potter before JKR came out as a transphobe. I already felt the books had problematic elements back when I chose my names (and the writing isn't like AMAZING or anything), but the fandom made a LOT of things better and wrote a lot of wonderful stuff that reclaimed a bunch of things about her world (sure it was all AUs but still). It was so fun to let my mind run wild in the fandom sandbox - I felt really free.

    I had already come out with my names and had been using them for years by the time JKR went all extra with the TERF bullshit. I get depressed thinking about this to this day. Lol.

  • Anyway. Reported for the total lack of discussion points around this transphobic garbage; if you're going to post this without any framework for critical engagement, I'm left thinking you agree with this bullshit, and I don't need that energy on my tl right now thanks.

    • Would you ever buy a house if you could get a really good deal on it, and it was right next to a lovely park and a trail, but a murder-suicide happened in it? (And it was cleaned and repaired)

  • ...normally I would be like "hell no" but these days...being broke and dreaming of our own house so bad...yeah I'd do it.

  • Holy crap. I loved this game as a kid. I completely forgot it existed. I just went on a YouTube 90s commercial deep dive because of this - fun memories!

    • What game do you think came closest to being "perfect"?

  • Holy shit Chrono Trigger rocked my world so fucking hard. I played it on an emulator in like 2000. I've forgotten a lot of stuff yet I still remember the impression this game left on me. It was like holding my breath at the end there goddamn.
