Have you ever discussed the reasoning behind having Oliver call Mark "Byron" when he dislikes other characters using that name?
I'm sure that I have but I cannot for the life of me remember what it is I've said! I know this is something that we've talked a lot about in the pals discord, and I've definitely said in there that I think Mark comes to love the fact that Oliver uses it.
there was a tiny little moment in an original TAMA draft where Oliver heard the name for the first time (literally the only evidence of the script exists as a screenshot in the pals discord, I cannot find the actual original draft) but I do think that the majority of this particular habit happened in between TAMA and TCT. and who knows what I've said before, but I like to think that Oliver would text Mark out of the blue with "BYRON" and then a long block of text and that's how Mark would know it was Oliver (who of course would change his number from time to time out of paranoia). but past me may have said something entirely different!
anyway, I just realized I'm not even sure I answered your question: I think the reason he uses it is because he sees Mark and instantly wants to stand out in his mind/get his attention, so when he learns that Mark has a built in nickname, he grabs onto it.
