Someone's Gonna Think Grace Keller Because Grace Kelly Or Something.

Someone's gonna think Grace Keller because Grace Kelly or something.

obsessed with your transfem julian drawings... i think her name would be helen bc it sounds like hellion

thats such a cute idea for a name!!!!!!!! the one i'm using for her is grace bc it's emma frost's middle name and i'm a reasonable amount of obsessed w their mentor-mentee/mother-child/tragedy of dropped plotline relationship and i love the idea of her naming herself after emma. but like somewhat indirectly so people can't tell right away

the cuckoos do notice and bully her bc they're haters

Trans girl problems

Or something.

I think a lot about my name, even after all these years. Esme is my more or less preferred name these days, even though I'm still juggling one or two others, and my birth name is still in use out of necessity in a few places.

But Esme still doesn't feel "right" and I stare at the ceiling a lot wondering, is it the wrong name? Is it ME or is it just a persona I'm trying to wrap myself in? Is there a "fake it til I make it" situation here? Am I just not used to it?

I know I don't need to be "Esme Frost" to be AN Esme, I squared that circle a long time ago, and am my own Esme, but there are still times where using the name feels like such a fraud.

Sometimes it feels like I'm trying to force Esme to happen, even if I don't have a good reason why. But I do like pairing it with my real surname, because it is a pairing that is *aggressively* French.

And I will probably need a whole separate post to ramble about how I am still using my birth name on my podcast, because I have yet to be comfortable enough calling myself by any of my girlnames.

This is the first time in *my entire damned life* that I have actually liked how I look in glasses.

The other image is the pic of Skyler that put the frames on my radar, and ha ha, let me tell you how much effort I put in trying to ID them. I am so glad it paid off.

Fun little reminder for all Emma Frost fans that are making OC children or designing her canon kids (Ruby, Megan, etc.):

With the exception of the Stepford Cuckoos, or maybe even them, Emma's children would not look like her. Not her current appearance. Emma has stated proudly multiple times she's had cosmetic surgery; a nose job, breast implants, so on and so on.

Her children would not look like her because she's changed the ways she looks. You'd have to go back to her childhood appearance in the comic books about her becoming the White Queen.

She's naturally a brunette, for starters. All blonde genes would have to come from the Father's side. Easy example, Megan and Ruby both being blondes either came from Emma's mother, Hazel, who is a blonde or Scott's mother, Katherine, who is blonde as well. While the character design makes them blonde so they look like Emma's children, genetically, they'd have a higher chance of having dark hair, like Nathan Summers.

I need this known and out there for the world because Marvel won't remember it, but I will. Technically, the Stepford Cuckoos shouldn't be blonde or that identical to Emma either, obviously they'd either look like a younger her or like whoever the other half of their DNA comes from.

Please stop giving Emma blonde children.
