Baby boy Cloud looks so cute in a Shinra uniform. I have to wonder what is going on inside Rufus's head as he watches Cloud performed (coughs) for him in his parade, all dressed up in a Shinra uniform, and being genuinely happy that his infantry actual won the president's commendation. He's clearly being smug and amused (and flirty) throughout the whole scene. XD

Oh my god, the way his voice is just dripping with all this mirth and sarcasm when he calls them up, I can’t get over it. I just keep wondering if, in that moment as AVALANCHE approaches the podium, Rufus remembers that line he shot Cloud when they first met, about “owning” him, and how Cloud so swiftly had his “ex-SOLDIER” comeback at the ready. And now here he is, prancing around in uniform emblazoned with Rufus’ family name and insignia, and how utterly fascinating it must’ve been to realize that Cloud is actually quite good at being a little soldier, a little leader. How cute. How utterly adorable 😈

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I'm legally on my fifth surname, and my tenth firstname (for some context, I'm nearly 60 now and I'm very queer and trans and have been an ordained buddhist in a cult so there have been diverse reasons for my changes), and I think I've finally got there, but if I haven't, I'll joyfully change them again.

I read a book when I was 23 in which it was entirely normal for the people in a future community to change their names any time they felt it was significant to do so, and that just felt true to me, and I embraced it. So this is me telling you: yes, it's fiddly and expensive, but a name is not necessarily a lifetime's commitment, and especially not an obligation to stay with.

I've escaped from the surname of the parents who abused me, and now have the anglicised version of the surname of my grandparent who was most like a parent to me, and let's face it, getting to legitimately call myself Greenleaf why would I not?

I've escaped from the Sanskrit male-coded name I was ordained with, and then let go of the one I fought to have instead of that, after I fled that transphobic and gender essentialist cult. I took a new firstname then that wasn't the one I have now, because I wasn't brave enough to take the name I really wanted. And then.

I've finally ended up with a firstname of a character from an Ursula Le Guin book, and it fits so perfectly - but like I say, if I ever find another name needs to happen, I'll embrace that just as readily. We change. Labels too. It's okay.
