i think there is something so funny about tu.lin going from honorific-name to just name with adults of his flock as he grows. oh, the masters will still be master and dad and mum do not have any other names duh (joking) but everyone else is suddenly on a purely first-name basis with a t(w)een whether they like it or not

#* roosting / ooc.#idk how big or little of a deal this is for a lot of you #but for me and my culture (and my interpretation of rito culture) that is just so jarring slkdfjd #equivalent of being a teacher whose prepubescent student started calling you just by your last name #not your first name because that's not the same vibe. just your last name like they're some colleague of yours #except they're 11 and unironically serious about being addressed on that same level slkfjdlf #THAT'S WHAT TU.LIN'S DOING!!#AND LIKE. OFC he feels like he's on the same level because he's achieved and done SO MUCH with what little comparative time #he's had. legitimately an accomplished enough warrior to be out there with Them Adults! his confidence is so warranted!#but. it's so wack....cute! but so wack. like your gut reaction is 'the insolence of this kid???'#then you remember how he's clawed his way to this spot beside you and you're like. 'FINE I GUESS???'#it gets easier for everyone as he grows older sdlfkdjlfk i'm sure they get v used to it by the time to.tk rolls around #the only adult exempt from this is ha.rth...he gets to keep his uncle title!#...only because it's now uncle (affectionate) rather than uncle (denomination) lskdjlf #tbd....as in to be developed!#< IT'S A STUDY NOW. thanks for enabling me fellas #* arrowhead / study.
