A bit of a short one, but I wanted to get you guys something before the big Saint Denis shenanigans! Hope you’re having a nice summer and if you are a sad little Brit like me, are have survived this past month from hell

aces chapter 15 is about halfway ready, if anyone is still hanging about. i know its been quite a while, i've not been doing very well for the better part of the year and aces hasn't been my priority, but i just want people to know i am still writing, it's just very slow. still, i'm hoping to get a chapter out sometime between now and the end of august.

love you all! keep on morbelling on

yuribell coming up

ramble about their names below

okay SO when deciding my gender swap names I had three conditions

condition one is that it must start with the same letter

condition two is that it must have the same/similar meaning

condition three is that it must fit the setting of late 1800s america

i didn't wanna pick names that just sounded similar, i wanted names that had shared roots or origins. i also didn't want to go down the root of 'feminising' male names (etc. adding 'a' or 'ie' to the end) unless i had valid reason to do so

so! they actually all turned out to be quite simple

john -> joan

why? john is a very common english name, and joan is a well recognised feminine variant of said name. they have shared hebrew roots, both meaning 'god is gracious'. it fits all my three conditions, and i like it, so joan it is! i like to think she goes by jo as well.

micah -> michaela

this name i was least sure about, as it does fall into the 'adding an a to make a name feminine' trap. HOWEVER! it does meet my three conditions, and i like it.

micah exists as a derivitive of the hebrew name mikha'el (anglicised as michael), meaning 'who resembles god'. at a basic level, michaela is a common feminine variant of the name michael, of which the name micah is derived from.

to me, michaela is a kinda bratty name (no offense to anyone called michaela), and when i think of my version of femmicah, it just fits her so well.

arthur -> anna

reason! arthur is welsh by heritage, and of course, throughout the games there are several references to arthur in relation to king arthur and the knights of the round table. so i wanted a name that occured in this material. now, i am perhaps the furthest thing from an expert when it comes to arthurian legend, but from my investigation there were two names that fit my criteria: amy, or anna.

anna was my choice for two reasons: it is occasionally an alternate name given to morgause, who is often depicted as king arthurs sister AND i just think it suits her much more, as a more masculine but still feminine name.
