Prepare for a rant about TV Tropes The TV Show and shattered dreams. *Hugs*
I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.Hey, I admit that I'm Affably Evil.
I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.I really like my current set-up of avatar, title, and signature. Just felt like sharing that.
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."Okay. One of my characters is named Sabin, just Sabin, only one name because that's how his culture does it. In practice, his name would be Sabin Sabin, but you'd never call him that. Instead, you call him Mr. Sabin (Dr. Sabin, actually) or just Sabin. Changing your name means you've either married a foreigner or nobility (nobility have two names) or are rebelling against the family. However, immigrants from his background who want to fit in more sometimes "string out" their names, so if Sabin had wanted to be a conformist, his name would be Sabin Sabin and you'd call him Sabin Sabin.
Now, he has a daughter. Her name is Sabine. Traditionally, she'd be named Ilsa or Propolis after her mother becsuse she's female, or, if they were going with her mother's culture, Ilsa Sabin. But... yeah and yeah. Sabin hates Ilsa, so he wants Sabine to be 100% him.
Is this incredibly confusing, y/y?

So we should have just taken MPreg as read, huh? Anyway, I can see characters in this setting adding place names like da Vinci or O'Malley or something.
