#names issue

i know it's fun for everyone to theorize on my past name or whatever, cause that's what fandom and it's pretty harmless, but i'll be honest, i'm not enjoying the idea of anyone finding out. if they hear it once nobody is ever gonna let it go even though i moved on from it a long, long time ago. i don't want anyone to call me it. i don't want to see anyone calling me it. clearly. otherwise, i wouldn't have chosen a new name for myself. simple as. hoping canon just... never reveals it.

I don't particularly care about the discussion of whether or not it's appropriation to use kin names of other cultures (I think it depends on the context) however I will say, as a latino, that you at the very least could write the fucking names right if you're going to use them. It's not that hard. I could maybe forgive Felix instead of Félix or Agustin instead of Agustín because English doesn't use acute accents and it's easy to forget them if you aren't used to them or know what they're for. Writing Isabela as Isabella is more sus, but the two names are pretty similar and some might not realize the Spanish version is written differently, but. Delores I can't forgive.

Kin pet peeve: People referring to Kusuo as Saiki. I mean, it is his last name, and people in the source call him by it all the time. It's not weird or unusual or insulting... But as the other Saiki it annoys me a lot sometimes dhshshsjshdhdjsjaj.

This is a pretty minor nitpick and not something that bothers me that much most of the time, but it's so annoying whenever I read a fix and my family calls me "Milo". Like... That's not a nickname most latinos would use. I was nicknamed Cami, because that's a much more natural thing for us to say.

Saw a couple of asks about why people who kin Mangle still go by Mangle, and as one of said people, I'd love to explain my reasoning!
