A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it’s been a long day and he didn’t mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn’t need to do that for my sake.
His response: “No, it’s my name now.”
I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he’s immigrating and in the process he’s changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That’s why he’s now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: “It’s mine now. Not yours. I’m taking.” His tone indicated that decision is final.
Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It’s his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.
There’s also an absurd amount of comments that are basically just “FAE!!!!!” And I’m now dying and it’s your fault. My blood is on your hands.

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don’t want to use the same four

as a non-native english speaker this is more than valuable to me - i struggle a lot with finding synonyms and similar words (thesauru.com is my best friend) but seeing it like this really helps.
Not unreality, not a joke: I have never posted such a thing before here but- Please do this one for whatever good it might result in.

Do you ever get reminded of that one really intense longfic that you had every intention of writing and had meticulous notes and complicated outlines for but then something happened and you aren’t in the fandom anymore and you still have the desire to write the fic but it’s slightly hollow now because it’s a good idea and you think it would have been a great fic but you haven’t been in the fandom for literally years and you don’t have that bit of passion for it that you did when you were writing it and have just a weird moment of nostalgia where you want to reread it but it never existed
