What kinds of names would the boys gravitate towards for their kids? Does that even make sense😭?
oooo this is such a good question actually bc i hateeee most of the names ppl be givin their kids…jj is not naming his daughter no damn daisy
BUT the funny thing about all of them is theres a clear class divide even with their names? like sorry im abt to dig deeper than u asked but i find names to be so interesting how some go in and out of fashion but others (like john) are forever 😭
joh b and jj have some SOUTHERN ass names okay…john booker routledge and jj (whether you think its john james or jesse james…COUNTRY) are both technically double names and in the south those kinds of names are super common! normally the first name is something common or a family name and the second is more unique (hence booker) and john b was probably one one many johns which is why he became john b, and if u believe jj is also a john then well thats how you get jj but if u go with jesse james theory he goes by the shortened version bc its just simpler
and names like these are often associated with the lower class nowadays and theres also the fact that naming conventions in families tend to follow a pattern like my grandma has a traditionally southern double name, then she moved and over time her kids went from popular names (60s) to afrocentric names (70s) and then my mom with the most afrocentric name turned and named me something in swahili like theres a pattern!
so i think its likely for john b to name his son john with his own second/middle name much like his dad did with him or go with a relatively common but short name. nothing too outrageous. for a girl itd probably also be a pretty classic girls name, short and simple but i don’t think she’d have a double name at all
jj is a wildcard but i do think he’s be simple too? like i could see him going for relatively unisex names bc again if u think his name is jesse thats a p unisex name and i think hes a no fuss no frills namer bc hes also dirt poor from the cut like john b. i do think he’d hive at least one kid a double name as well and one of ems being named jj boy or girl i dont think he’d care. also has to be nicknameable because hes big on that edit: also meant to say of you go by jesse james theory hes prob naming a kid after a historical figure, the badder the better
pope is actually a very like…southern black name i dont know how to describe it in a way that makes sense to non black ppl but if ur black u cant tell me pope heyward doesnt sound like a toni morrison character 😭 theres this slight foreignness to it where its not traditionally a name but he couldnt be anything else i think he’d likely do a literary name tho! but none of the obvious ones because thats try hard, but it would also be slightly unusual like his because like i said in families the names tend to be one step up from the parents so boy or girl itll likely be one syllable, pretty short, not able to create a nickname for it because hes insistent on people knowing his kids name as is (another black thing)
rafe is most interesting because all of the camerons have very interesting names from a class standpoint. sarah and louisa (wheezie) are both traditional names with the latter being the oldest and more outdated even with the nickname wheezie, and rafe could be short for rafael it also could just be rafe but the exoticness of it is used to establish wealth, they can use older or more “ethnic” names to signify both their familys longevity because louisa is prob a relative and wealth because rafael gives “i travelled to Spain and met a local with that name i had to give it to my son.” so i think rafe would probably go for something either super traditional with a name from the family or “exotic” with a like italian or spanish name

gonna prob reread coanda when u do the updates and stuff so ignore me if im askin smth that was already mentioned/someone already asked. but are we ever gonna get more detail on gojos past where he was sleeping around with older men? also would i be right in deducing that he did that not only as experimentation but also cause he knew he liked geto and maybe thought he was straight? like that dude from the past. lorenzo? also did? man sorry if its annoyin to ask but lmao ugh i wish we had some more of gojos past like. his innermost thoughts about suguru. i cannot imagine anything other than just lovesick pining and longing jdjd anyway love ur fic thanks a lot for sharing!
probably not. if u reread coanda i think theres a scene where gojo heavily implies he’s gay before any level of experimentation - after the kiss between him and the much older woman in europe. he doesnt say it outright, basically to give both boys some plausible deniability, but i dont think theres any part of him that is ever confused about his sexuality.
the older men are just what ends up being available. its meant to draw attention to how gojo has literally no one his own age to spend time with and the inherent exploitative nature of child athletes / young athletes being immersed in sports cultures that are at times intensely toxic. its not really about gojos sexuality, or about getous jealousy. that plot line is there to highlight, that despite getou largely holding gojo up on a pedestal and thinking he integrates well, gojo is still struggling. Even if gojo isnt aware of it himself.
gojos love for getou though is a complicated beast. id say hes semi-aware of it but willing to shove it down bc what hes got going for him is pretty good. hes willing to hide One Thing to keep racing with his teammate, and stay friends, and maybe when theyre done racing they can have each other. then we get into 2013/2014 and he thinks getou hates him and hes just desperstely trying to scrape together their friendship.
lorenzo is a plot device more so than a character, designed to showcase a) gojo’s childish jealousy b) getous relative skill level and struggles in the sport and c) the difficulty of being queer in this particular sport, and in general. the scene with him in 2014 has been planned for a while, meant to showcase the choices that getou has made for his career thinking it was the only way… only for it not to be the only way. theres no details on who lorenzo was sleeping with but he is older than gojo and getou (getou was 17 in the GREC, he was in his early twenties, probably 21-22)
:3
im going to write some alt pov stuff eventually, so maybe itll be expanded upon but heres the official authors notes

nah, I totally get where you're coming from, but it's not necessarily something wrong with the kids- I'm a software tutor, and it's been getting.... bad, at least in the usa. it's not their fault, but society has become so tech-saturated that lot of schools literally have stopped teaching kids basic computer knowledge anymore, and assume they'll have picked it up intuitively, and so do their parents. but it's not intuitive, it's a skill like any other. and a lot of the kids are post-zoom era, which you'd think would make them more tech-literate, but no one was beside them looking at their computers to teach them, and they wound up with at least a year's gap of educational neglect in general as well. it's gotten... weird. the kids get by, cause a lot of tech is just 'push a button' now, and they soak up the new information like the little freak sponges they are, but quite often no one has sat down with them and explained jack shit before
....that being said, the amount of grown adults I have to explain that 'no, if you don't save the file it won't exist when you close the file' on a daily basis to is... so high. soooo high. people are unbelievably stupid
but then again, I can only speak to one form of educational system, so truly, who the fuck am I lmao
idk like, ive worked with kids and based on my experience theyre just kind of fucking stupid i say this w all the love in my heart but u take the smartest kid ive ever worked with n ask them a basic fuckin question and theyll just go huh bc thats how kids r i think this is less "the youth of today has smth wrong with them" and more the usual thing where a generation gets 9lder and starts teaching and interacting w kids and realize kids r kinda fucking stupid. we have a huge scare abt how the latest generation cant do this or that every ten years and its fine every time. kids get older and they learn shit.even if u got a teenager thats kinda fucking stupid they can still learn. also just like u said a lotta fucking adults r also tech illiterate as shit so i think this is more demographic based and not age based. kids whose parents r good w computers or who have access to some sort of education abt computers will learn that shit. also some places have more of a culture of fostering this shit like here piracy counts as basic tech literacy i think and that migjt not be the case in other places
anyway the reason these posts annoy me bc i used to see all this posting abt how well b the genrration who isnt a cunt to kids and doesnt demean them and now 10 yrs later yall r doing that shit like u were also kind of fucking stupid as a kid and adults were probs freaking out about how u cant even read and now ur an adult n ur fine. also if kids cant do smth its not their fault its the fault of every adult around them so in any case stop talking abt how kids r tech illiterate itll be fine calm down. most of yall dont even have kids n if ya do teach them computers

how the golden era slytherins would text:
Draco:
he uses all lowercase, but with perfect punctuation. it annoys him when people use acronyms and abbreviations, and he often corrects peoples’ grammar. always responds quickly-ish.
Blaise:
Uses uppercase letters when he’s supposed to. Uses too many periods. Sends lots of small texts instead of just one that says everything he needs to say. Usually responds within seconds.
Pansy:
her texts are all lowercased and short. don’t expect her to respond quickly. she doesn’t care about punctuation or spelling and doesn’t correct herself if she spells something wrong.
Theo:
he literally responds right away and uSES UPPERCASE WHEN HES EVEN A LITTLE BIT EXCITED!! uses at least two punctuation marks when he needs to,, annoys draco very much
Daphne:
her txts r like tgis. she dowsnt care if u can read them or not thats ur problm not hers. itll take her weeks 2 get back 2 u and dont expect anythign she says 2 b heloful bc, like, she has things to do. (u prob just shouldnt txt her)
Astoria:
She! Is! So! Happy! She texts the way she talks, and she is very chatty :]]] She is glad to talk, and always answers right away. She sometimes forgets a comma here and there but she still has pretty good punctuation :D

Inner motivation: To be satisfied and content: to have her needs fulfilled, to maintian her freedom and happiness, to avoid missing out on worthwhile experiences, to keep herself excited and occupied, to avoid and discharge pain
Kryptonite: Someone trying to control her (looking at you, Valentina)
What is his/her misbelief about the world? If she just accumulates enough wealth and fun and experiences she can actually live the perfect, flawless, pain-free life and give it to her loved ones, too!
Lesson he/she needs to learn: Oops, that’s impossible and money certainly won’t buy it! (Just ask Edmund!)
What is the best thing in his/her life? Her sisters!! Her home!! Fun and doing what she wants and exploring all the opportunities this life has to offer!!
What is the worst thing in his/her life? Probably her stepmom and stepbro #gross No, but honestly most likely the death of her dad if she was old enough to remember him :( Her mom, too, but I'm not sure she ~does remember her?
What does he/she most often look down on people for? Being controlled, being boring, an uncooperative spirit, a lack of vision, an unwillingness to help others (tho tbf her viewpoint on this is a lil skewed bc she often fails to see the things ppl need etc etc her heart is ultimately in the right place she’s just kinda spoiled and blind bc of it)
What makes his/her heart feel alive? Adventure! Laughter! Inside jokes! Exploring! Riches and excitement! A new frock! Poetry that inflames her emotions (yes, she’s def rocking those Anne of Green Gables vibes esp when she was little – cue her renaming Goat Road to the Way of the Shephard or smth more poetic etc)! Spending quality time with loved ones! Etc, etc!
What makes him/her feel loved, and who was the last person to make them feel that way? Her sisters were most def the ppl <3 Being paid attention to, being supported and shown affection, having fun, quality time, shared fresh air and experiences, shared laughter, etc!
Top three things he/she values most in life? Her loved ones, fun, security!
EXTERNAL: NOT NECESSARY, BUT GOOD TO KNOW AND SAYS A LOT ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER
What’s his/her favorite book, movie, and band? She’d love the Idylls of the King! Ivanhoe and pr much anything by Tennyson and Scott and all the other Romantic Poets! She’d also love Narnia and Pippi Longstocking and Amelia Bedelia and all sorts of fun, fantastical things as a kid! Re: tv Bridgerton would be a go-to, and, speaking of regency things, pr much all Jane Austen! I feel like the most recent Emma, P&P, and Persuasion would be her fav movie adaptations (and tbh she’d probs have more patience for those than reading) but she would loooove S&S just in general all editions of it bc she’d suuuuuper relate to Marianne and the whole sister thing would obv get her right in the feels, also Little Women esp the most recent Amy!positive adaptation too for similar reasons etc! Gilmore Girls!! Daisy Jones & the Six!! Florence + the Machine <3 Fairy tales in general!!! dua lipa, ava max, fleetwood mac
Is there an object he/she can’t bear to part with and why? She probs has, like, a bracelet or hairpin or smth from her mom that is hella sacred to her but tbh she probs rarely wears it, instead choosing to keep it in this tiny ornamental box where she knows its safe and tbh itll probs get burned asp and she’ll probs have a breakdown bc of it bc im mean <3
Describe a typical outfit for him/her from top to bottom. This girl is O B S E S S E D w clothes and far more so than i am tbh so i probs can’t even comprehend of the sort of sick fit she’d come up w but suffice it to say she’s always glammed out and rocking the latest trends and probs helping to set them too lbr i also feel like she’s REALLY good at, like, taking her mom’s old dresses and spicing them up to make them ahead of the latest trend or like even making smth completely new out of her bedroom curtains like they might not have much?? since they got an evil stepmom?? but even if so she still living that haute couture life! the best seamstress in the land tbh lbr! ;D she ~will find a way! and everyone will be drooling to wear that next week when she’s already moved on to the next look ;D
What names or nicknames has he/she been called throughout their life? Rosie to her sisters, Rose to her friends, Roisin to everyone else thank you very much
What is his/her method of manipulation? Lol, she’s the worst smh anyway that would be guilt tripping, judging you, annoying you
Describe his/her daily routine. Only gets out of bed when positively FORCED tbh and probs kinda cranky in the morning whoops but omg she comes alive at night and just out there having a stupid good time, def the life of the party type, pranking!! joking!! leaving Brigit doodles of Valentina's face after the latest prank lol, honestly she’s not really someone who holds to ~routine bc that’s the bane of her existence and noT exciting (tho she does actually lowkey thrive on one when its enforced so she goes on jags where she holds herself to this standard...and then gets bored of it or distracted by smth and lets it go haha), but catch her laughing and flirting and dancing and teasing and planning outfits and frankly being impulsive af #facepalm
Their go-to cure for a bad day? Pranking their stepmom w Brigit!! drawing!! whatever the medieval!fantasty equivalent of, like, eating ice cream directly out of the container while watching Gilmore Girls is, putting on her fanciest dress and going to balls and dancing w ppl who look at her like she’s the moon in the sky, probs actually wearing that bracelet/pin she has from her mom for once! making her sisters laugh! general escapism of every kind tbh, exploring awesome places everything from creepy forests to exquisite castles yknow!! new experiences and having fun w her loved ones in general <3 the medieval!fantasy equivalent of going to one of Gatsby’s parties, etc
CHARACTER GOALS:
How is your character dissatisfied with their life? Well, she’s an orphan w Valentina (fc: ANJELICA HUSTON IN EVER AFTER ;D) for a stepmom so…i feel like that kinda speaks for itself hahaha plus she wants to save herself and her sisters!! and obv she hasn’t done that yet so lots to be bummed about :/ fortunately, she’s got a handsome prince on the hook so things’re looking up in that dept! and she’s defffff not considering the huge possibility that ~that won’t last since his ambitious parents almost certainly have other plans for him than some rando orphan!!!! even if she ~is technically nobility (actually she ~does know this but she ain’t looking at that too close up bc she’s a world class ignorer of truths she don’t vibe with <3) Anyway, basically she’d love to be rich and just important enough to be consulted and included on fun things but frankly noT important enough to have to deal w the bad (but she doesn’t really think about that second part too much ngl) and have fine parties and intellectual but funny convos and be admired and adored by the glittering throng and make her sisters’ lives better w a wink of her eye!!!! but obv this fantasy existence isn’t playing out so!!! dissatisfaction!!
What does your character believe will bring them true happiness or contentment? Wealth and importance bc that’d allow her to solve all her current problems! of course, it’d also create a host of new and perhaps worse problems, but!!!! she does not consider this!!! in her mind, if she were wealthy and important she could fix everything and then it’d be all happily ever after for everyone a la a fairy tale!
What definitive step could they take to turn their dream into a reality? Marry Edmund and become a literal princess/empress so she can save her sisters and really stick it to her stepmom or, failing that (besides, it'd be pr cool to be bowed and scraped to and wear a crown and a pretty dress!) or marry pr much any of the other male characters so far that aren’t resistance members! bc she's looking to marry rich so she can save her sisters!
How has their fear kept them from taking this action already? Well, she’d be pr tied down as the wife of an important person and she values her freedom greatly! how else is she supposed to bask in her precious distractions and adventures? she couldn’t just take off for the woods at a moment’s notice or prank Amira (she’d probs be executed for that tbh ;D) or smth, plus – and this is the worst one in her mind – lbr she probs wouldn’t be able to see her sisters nearly as much and, gods, she doesn’t know how she’d ever, ever do w/o them! So! her solution? ignore all of this and just hope things continue 100% the way they are rn, forever, problems and all!
How does your protagonist feel they can accomplish their goal while still steering clear of the thing they are afraid of? Change, of any kind, is anathema! everything stays the same <3 failing that (bc inevitably that one’ll collapse around her and she knows this), marry someone rich and handsome and powerful who adores her and buy her way to success <3
