guess who's back
back again
anyways hI thoughts on nIckNames
obviously we have potter for theo from boris
and i like to keep the smcu nickname i came up with from stan -> magpie
and a common one for bill from stan is "bluejay" because of his eyes
but what do you think other pairings would call each other ?
:33 (also im working on a drawing it should be done sOON i just don't want to post something unfinished)
yes nicknames! "potter" obviously is iconic and i love stan's bird nicknames but here we go
theo: theo isn't really a nicknames guy cause he's boring so i'm just gonna give you pet names he'd use for his boys
stan: babe
boris: fuckhead/asshole
bill: prolly also babe cause he's basic (and i think it'd be funny if theo is like "hey babe!" and three heads snap up. boris is like "aww you never call me that" (theo's not talking to him) meanwhile bill and stan are doing the spiderman meme)
stan: again this is kinda gray area between pet names & nicknames but the birds thing is so cute! alt stenboreo ship name of stan's birds who's with me
bill: bluejay
theo: magpie
boris: pidgeon (city birds, often considered weird or gross, but sounds a lot like an endearment if you say it right. also hc that this boris speaks a lot more russian & ukrainian & sorta polish than in the book so he's basically speaking a. pidgin. get it)
bill:
stan: i think it would be cute if bill gave stan the nickname "stan" (not at all canon but we make our own canon so who cares) because i think he and theo are both devastatingly boring and wouldn't be nicknames people
theo: again just theo. hard name to do eng lang nicknames for when its alr shortened to theo
boris: borya! diminutive of boris & i think bill would be really interested in learning ab boris's cultures. so like diminutives/nicknames being really important & then he'd want to learn boris's diminutives (borya, boryushka, borechka, n sorta boriska but bill wouldn't use that one). boryushka and borechka are reserved for like nicer/more tender moments but borya is for everyday wear
boris:
theo: potter obv
stan: stosh (polish nickname for stanisław) or ptakh/ptashko (ukrainian for bird/birdy) which he’d use interchangeably a la kotku/kotyku
bill: ok hear me out on this one. baksi which is "dollar bill" in russian. bc bill. dollar bill. get it. when he's drunk he gets sappy with it and is like *dramatic boris voice* "baksi you are worth more than all of the moneys to me" while throwing himself in bill's direction so he can flop on the ground and cluch his chest like he's having a heart attack
