when I'm writing, names are everything and I need people to know this.
whenever I write a name, I choose it based off of what I want to convey, and I feel like it's most obvious with how, when I write any scene involving the bats, if theyre in their costumes, theyre going by their vigilante names, but if theyre in civvies/acting as their civvie persona, thats the name they go by (see: my stephcassette fic where, when their identities are revealed, they start going by their civvie names bc they arent acting as heroes). this also goes for, when people dont know someones name, it will never be used, the person will be referenced to as 'the man' 'the woman' 'the person' 'the hero' etc etc
I'm writing a joker junior fic rn (it'll be posted tomorrow for disability bingo) and when I say 'junior', it is completely intentional. he knows that his name is tim, but when he says something or does something and the tone tag says 'junior', that means that its jj completing the action if that makes sense?
I also feel like you can see this in my skz multichap when I reference chan as 'my channie' from minho's pov bc thats who chan is to minho
ANYWHO idk if this is something that other authors do but almost everything in my writing is completely intentional and I uh wanted to share that bc this jj fic is really showing that haha
