but what if they were friends
[id: 4 sketches of miles and spot. in the first, they’re both wearing civilian clothes; miles in his hoodie and jacket, and spot in a hoodie, glasses, mask, and hat. miles is gesturing to him, saying “this is my friend, …..patrick. he’s normal.” spot adds, “mhm. yep. just a normal, regular guy,” while doing the thumbs up. the second image is a comic, where miguel in full costume is running towards miles and spot. spot has his hands up defensively and is saying “uhhhh”. in the second panel, miles jumps into one of the spots and emerges above miguel to punch him in the face. spot hunches over defensively, screaming. the third drawing is also a comic, with miles going up to spot and saying “hey, man, we make a pretty good team!” spot responds, “heck yeah we do! high five!” but when miles high fives him, his hand goes through a spot, jabbing spot in the back of the head. he says “OW” as miles says “oooh, sorry.” the final drawing is of miles and spot sitting together, eating hot dogs and chatting. end id]
A while back my pharmacist saw my deadname on my profile and accidentially called it out, he corrected and deleted my deadname from the system so only my preferred name shows up now. There was a crowd of people behind me, so as he hands over the pills he apologized, in equal tone and volume as when he called my deadname and lied saying it's been a long day and he didn't mean to call out -his own- name. I quietly told him it was fine and he didn't need to do that for my sake.
His response: "No, it's my name now."
I went to the pharmacist yesterday, his nametag is my deadname. He informed me he's immigrating and in the process he's changed his first name to my deadname to have an English sounding name. That's why he's now able to get a reprint of his nametag to be my deadname. And repeated, with the intense seriousness of someone who is going to die on this hill: "It's mine now. Not yours. I'm taking." His tone indicated that decision is final.
Bro literally deadnamed me once, and has committed to flat out stealing my deadname. It's his now. Legally. Officially. I over heard his co-workers call him by the name.
hey...

i only post here for fun but this drawing in particular is so especially self-indulgent. it has all of my favorite things (purple tones, excessively large sleeves, ceaselessly watching british creatures).
sorry I love this painfully mid media so much I could throw up
viewing queer identities as “this is the label that makes me happy and feels most accurate now” rather than “this is who I am, was, and always will be” will definitely take the pressure off, friends. changing your mind is proof that you have one.
hey, hey what's this...
