I think Little Menace is actually real and is not only watching me from another dimension, but also telling me what actually happened in her timeline via ideas for the au.
To start with, I have been considering nicknames for Menace for when she grows up for a few weeks now. The nickname I had happened to choose was Manny because Menny just didn't roll right in my head.
Manny is already a natural nickname (I also knew a guy with a similar name) which convinced me to choose it.
Today, I wondered what meaning Manny had as a name. This was because another oc I had (called Veera) - whose name I made on a whim and had no idea was an actual name - had translated to 'victory bringer' or 'faith' depending on what language you focused on. This was very on point for the character. Like, weirdly on point.
So I searched on Google to satisfy my curiosity, and the first damm thing I get from the Google AI is 'Manny primarily means "God is with us"'.
Where are my two nickels? Those aren't even my currency but I'd like my bragging rights now.
btw I am working on the au, I'm just going through a struggle period right now (and irl stuff + meeting family out of the country)
