ID: Two notebook pages, one of them damaged with three descriptions but no images, one with three images and descriptions.

Description 1:

Transcription: "Die vorderste Gruppe der Reiter rast auf die Zelte zu."

Translation: "The first group of riders races towards the tents."

Description 2:

Transcription: "Bald stehen die Zelte in Flammen und beginnen zu stürzen."

Translation: "Soon the tents are going up in flames and begin to fall."

Description 3:

Transcription: "Voll Genugtuung blicken Forrester und seine Adjutanten auf das Werk der Zerstörung."

Translation: "Filled with satisfaction Forrester and his adjutants look on the destruction."

Image 1:

Transcription: "Merril und seine Freunde kommen hinzu und drohen Forrester, Meldung zu erstatten."

Translation: "Merril and his friends arrive and threaten Forrester with a report."

Image 2:

Transcription: "Freudig erblickt Ribanna ihren Freund Winnetou, der sie beim Spiel mit ihren Freundinnen überrascht."

Translation: "Happily Ribanna sees her (boy)friend Winnetou, who surprised her while she was playing with her friends."

Image 3:

Transcription: "Winnetou stellt Ribanna seinen Freund Old Shatterhand vor."

Translation: "Winnetou introduces his friend Old Shatterhand to Ribanna."

Note: "Freund" can mean both male friend and boyfriend, just as "Freundin" can mean both female friend and girlfriend. I could just as easily translate these sentences to "Happily Ribanna sees her friend Winnetou, who surprised her while she was playing with her girlfriends" and "Winnetou introduces his boyfriend Old Shatterhand to Ribanna" - I'm interpreting this as I think my uncle meant it as a child, though without a doubt lesbian poly Ribanna and her gay best friend Winnetou would be a fun fanfic XD

Hmm… good question. Please remember that I’m only going by the MCU canon since I’m not a comic person.

I think he thought about it in an abstract way when he was younger. The teasing got bad sometimes but since he was intellectually so far beyond his peers he shrugged it off with relative ease. (He refused to be bothered by it but sometimes it nagged at him. He always shoved that feeling aside. He was strange after all, compared to the idiotic masses. Their problem if they couldn’t get up on his level.)

Then, when he became a doctor the… well… strange… name (pun fully intended) became some sort of trademark. There was no other Doctor Strange, when the name was dropped or appeared on an article there was no question about whom it was about. Stephen’s ego quite liked that, actually. *imagines him internally purring like a contented cat when he was praised*

He was known in the medical field and in the higher society he frequented and those people? Had better things to do than make fun of his name in front of him. Or his appearance. Not good for the image, you know? They’re backstabbers, not outright in your face.

It got worse after the accident, after his fall from grace. Suddenly he was nobody and that’s when everything that’s different about you becomes problem. But Stephen refused to give in. He is Doctor Stephen Strange, no question about that. He’s Strange, just like he is a doctor and while he no longer manages to be proud about a lot of things his name is so ingrained with his identity and sense of self that it just is.

That’s why he looks like that when Kaecilius starts the name game:

(GIF from here.)

That’s the look of a man who’s given up on playing the games of other people. He’ll correct you once, if he thinks that you’re enough of an idiot to not get it the first time but that’s it. Tony Stark, for example, doesn’t question. He’s taken by surprise by Stephen portaling in, yes, but when has that ever stopped him from making a sarcastic one-liner? Exactly. Tony goes for the magic, not the name.

(Which is also why he reacts to Peter’s “so we’re using our made-up names now” like he does. He has no energy and no fucks left to give about what other people think about his name.)

And here’s the Ironstrange addition, without which I can barely make a post. Sorry about that and stop reading if you don’t want.

There is no question about him keeping his name after the wedding. The initials wouldn’t change anyway. But he can and will be persuaded to add the Stark at the end. Tony does the same with Strange. But they both keep their single surname for everything except official business - like wills and insurance.

Stephen still responds to praise like a cat being stroked. Tony indulges him often but his praise has nothing to do with his skills. Or his name. But there is stroking. Sometimes he calls Stephen his “strange but tame cat” and delights in it when he gets pounced for this choice of words.

You know, I never really thought about it. Because so much ends up happening, the team really doesn’t have time to process anything. 

BUT. Skye would be super proud. And probably tell anyone and everyone. The team, new shield members on the base, people walking down the street. Like GUESS WHAT MISS I LIKE FOLLOWING THE RULES (insert terrible pretend british accent) STICK UP MY BUM FREAKIN’ SHIELDED US FROM A GRENADE. 

And when Director Dad hears about it he is both proud and extremely worried. But mostly proud because out of everyone you can bet he knows about the time a certain Steve Rogers did EXACTLY that. Probably read it in an official report. So, his inward monologue is like THAT’S MY TINY BRITISH DAUGHTER. But out loud he is like May? Should I be worried? She could have hurt herself? Should I ground her??? May????? Mayyyyyyyyy. 

May doesn’t say anything about it. But boy is she proud too. Because she knows Jemma is strong and brave. In fact, it’s one of the reasons that she supports the whole ‘undercover hydra business’. She knows Jemma can do it. 

When Huntingbird hear about it, it is WAY after the fact. Hunter is like nahhhh, I don’t buy it. Let me guess, she also jumped out a plane one time? HAHAHA wait wHAT SHE REALLY DID? And Bobbi doesn’t take any convincing because she already knows that tiny little scientist is a total badass.
