soMEBODY TOLD ME- THAT YOU HAD A BOYFRIEND- WHO LOOKED LIKE A GIRLFRIEND THAT I HAD IN FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR

I love this song so much but can it please get out of my head ;-;

I'm over here, waiting at the bus stop for the bus to come
It's 2:31…my mom is going to be so fucking mad when I get home lmao
but technically it's her fault because I had to get a bus pass from my school and she's the one who wanted me to get it

Me : listening to an 18+ Yagami Yato ASMR for writing references
YY as Mammon : "You clearly aren't into men"
Me: laughs in bisexual Oh boy how wrong you are!

hmmmmmm…. i love my name, but sometimes i want to have a nickname (different to my real name). i dont know how to bring it up with my friends. it might just be a bit awkward. i might not bother.

Ugh, that's such a mood.
My close friends call me by my nickname, but idk how to bring it up in class.
Not to mention to my family, who would probably say "thats a boy's name!"

lmaoooo i haven't even told my parents about my name
they'd be like "where'd u pull that from?"

I want a nickname….

I mean I go by MJ and that's already a nickname but yknow I want one that I pretend to hate but actually love and stuff. One that my friends give me or smth

Some people call me 'Ice Queen' but that's just cuz of my constant glares and ice grey eyes.

mine is starrlibus
no explanation is needed

Mine is Sol and Mari
I mean, those nicknames are cool and all, but I don't have any nicknames that aren't related to my real name and it kinda sucks.

Kat technically is my nick lol, when I started signing it on my art my mom asked if I wanted to be called that all the time and I had to explain online handles to her

now she suggests 'kat/cat' puns everytime she randomly thinks of one

I mean, y'all already call me Bec, it's short for Rebecca, which I've always felt an odd disconnect to. (And don't even get me fucking started on my last name, which I will not share, but just know that it makes me feel icky)

Yeah my name is actually a nickname my dad calls me that’s similar to my dead name. So little do they know they’re actually validating me XD

I hate my last name too, I'm planning on changing it along with my first. I don't like the man who passed it down to me. I hate when teachers and stuff use it or just call me by my surname. Makes me feel gross.

Yeah, plus my last name is also a masculine first name and I've had really icky issues growing up with like… being made fun of for my more naturally masculine features and other things associated with it, plus I'd rather cut name ties with my family.
It'll be easy enough to change though, I'll just do it when I get married bc my partner has a badass last name and their family has basically adopted me.

I plan on changing my last name when I move out. Dunno what to but something other than my last name. I don't like it. I might also change my first name to just MJ and not Mary Jane.

Plus the idea of totally cutting ties with my parents comforts me I dunno why I must be a terrible child XD

Idk, I find it very comforting that I will one day be free of my parents. But I find it terrifying that I will one day be expected to care for them in their old age. (Unless I haul ass to Canada~)
And I know it doesn't make me a terrible child, because they say and do so many things that hurt me, often without realizing it. Have I brought them up? Yeah. Anything happen to fix it? Nope. So that shows how much they care for me and how much they respect my autonomy.
And even then, you don't have to have a "good reason" to cut some ties. Maybe you just don't want your folks defining who you are for the rest of your life, maybe there are other reasons that feel like they're not a big deal, but they're important to you.
The family you choose is far more important than the family you were born into imo, and if some of that means cutting ties, that's okay.

Bec you're so wise

Yeah, something about my parents makes me want to leave so bad. My mom might force me to stay home when I graduate because she can't stand the thought of living without her children. Me and my mom are completely opposite personalities. I'm chaotic, carefree and never have a plan. Hell, I want to go into a career where I blow shit up for a living. She's so lawful, organized and cares waaay to much about everything. Plus she presses her beliefs onto me all the time, even though I've made it very clear that I hate it. She decides everything for me and always tries to put me in a little box. She can't handle anything she can't control so that's why she always tries to fix me. She never listens and she's always watching me like a hawk. My dad just sits back and the second an arguement breaks out he takes her side without even hearing me out. I hate my home life so much, which I guess is why I want to move to the other side of the country, change my name, and live without them for the rest of my life.

Yeah, that's completely fair. And even if you change your mind when the time comes, it certainly doesn't invalidate what you're feeling now.
I'm polar opposite to my mom as well, so I definitely get where you're coming from. (Sadly, sometimes I feel like the mom. I'm one hell of an old soul)

I have a few nicknames that I like, all from a particular group of friends of mine. One of them is "Tree" because my name is a type of tree and one is my name with a "Y" in front of it that I actually don't remember the background for. We also call each other by the names of characters we roleplay with each other as lol. Kind of cringey, but we'd actually do that during school. We thought it was hilarious because it always confused the hell out of everyone else when we'd call each other "Gold" or "Red" or "Silver" yeah we RPed Pokemon but looking back on it is like physically painful lmao

my nickname in middle school was shuichi, my group of friends all kinda kinned with danganronpa v3 characters and my gf at the time was kokichi lmao
all my online friends call me ocean
my close friends usually just call me by my birth name or some derivative (for example, my best friend calls me stellie)
