this is kinda random but I have a small storytime about one of our headmates that im (lightheartedly) a little frustrated with rn
okay so we have this fictive. and hes sourced from a Japanese game and as expected the characters in the game have Japanese names. and we usually have fictives with ethnic names get new ones because we're White As Fuck, yk how it goes
however. this one guy. straight up REFUSES to change his name no matter how many times we ask him. AND THE WORST PART. is that it doesnt even have anything to do with his attachment to his source or anything, he ONLY insists on keeping his source name SPECIFICALLY because hes a bougie bitch (/aff) who doesnt like it when people refer to him casually and only allows others to refer to him by his surname. it is the most STUPID possible reason to be so attached to his name /silly
so now we're on the hunt for a surname he likes that he can switch to
honestly we never struggled with ethnic names or stuff,, i mean im literally named after icecream,, but i think it must be hell for those who do have ethnic names.
regardless i wish you lots of luck!
