Okay wait, I'm sorry, this is completely unrelated to my blog but do people not know that houses in school are a completely normal thing and not something made up for Harry Potter?? I spent my entire childhood and teen years in a house. And these houses were created pre WW2.

When I went to Dunkin’ Donuts yesterday, the guy offered me free donuts and I didn’t take them cuz that’s not how I expected the interaction to go

I think a lot about my name.

I hate it. I've always hated it. Not always. I didn't always have a concept of what it meant to have a name, a boy's name, a girl's name. But in Hebrew school, first or second grade, I learned what my name meant. How gendered it was.

I've hated it ever since.

Name changes are something I've been thinking about for a while. At least a year. I've gone through so many options, upwards of ten. None of them feel right. A shirt that looks great, but doesn't quite fit me how it should.

I keep searching, and searching, and searching.

Is it even worth the effort to change my name? If I reject the name my parents burdened me with gifted me for something that doesn't give me enough euphoria?

People know me as [redacted]. How do I tell them their friend, sister, daughter is a lie? If I show them Shai or Sar or Steph or any other name I like better, what will they think? Will they like that person? Will they prefer [redacted]? Does their opinion matter? It shouldn't. It does.

I don't know.

I don't know what to do.

I never know what to write on the blank next to "name."

every so often i’ll see a post that’s like “ugh the characters in gideon the ninth seem way older than they are, they were obviously aged down to appeal to the YA market”

and i’m like

HUH

their youth is the point!! the fact that they are teens and young adults and the oldest among them are ~30 illustrates just how deeply cruel this world is!! that children are holding up entire houses, dying in wars, obsessed with being the greatest of their generations!!

mercymorn’s running bit about harrow being so young is not just her being condescending—she is genuinely horrified by how young harrow and ianthe are. especially compared to her ten thousand-ish years. they are infants!!

and don’t even get me started on the kids in nona the ninth, which is even more blatantly about how war permeates every aspect of life, even for kids, and makes them grow up too fast

anyway. tlt is not YA and even if it was, arguments about kids in dystopian novels “seeming too old” will never be convincing to me because 99% of the time…that’s. the. point
