Okay so I’m curious- I see this in fics all the time (not just yours but a bunch of peoples) but where did the names Leandro Esposita/Espinoza and Akira come from?

I’d been part of the vld fandom since like 2018 and hadn’t ever heard of it until my resurgence into the fandom this last few months

i have no idea!! like a lot of big headcanons in the fandom i just saw more and more people doing it and thought it was cool tbh. akira has been around for as long as i can remember, but lance’s name has always been pretty up in the air. most people had it as alejandro for YEARS, and sometimes i lowkey want to do alejandro lol (LOTS of good symbolism there). when i’m doing canon fics i like to do keith akira kogane and leandro agustín nuñez carmen esposita-mcclain (L-A-N-C-E mcclain lol) which i saw in one other fic (although they used different names than i did) bc i think it’s funny. but my favourite names for them and the ones i will usually use for non canon aus are from early early 2016 fandom when we didn’t know their last names yet, so keith gyeong and lance sanchez
