I Think Benson Would've Tried To Get To The Capitol On Jan 6th, But I Think His Car Would've Broken Down

I think Benson would've tried to get to the Capitol on Jan 6th, but I think his car would've broken down in the middle of nowhere and he'd get irrationally angry over it and the only person to drive by for hours would be some stupid punk that only went "your car broke down? aww, sucks, man!" while driving by. And then Benson would start sobbing because all the bad luck and awful things he's trying to suppress would come crashing down on him and he'd cry for like a solid hour and contemplate suicide right there.

If one of his friends/neighbors ask him how that day was, he'll say it was fun before switching the topic.

RIP Benson you would have loved complaining about electric cars and white claw and subscription services. missed out on being such a toxic middle aged bitch. sad!

my personal look at names is a rather traditional one (i guess), but that's just my take: most people don't name themselves, they get their name from their parents. it is meant/supposed to be a gesture of love from the people who raised you.

so option nr. 1 is asking your parents. imo this also shows that you love/appreciate/honor them despite "rejecting" your birth name. maybe your parents thought of another name for you before you were born. if not, consider asking them to give you suggestions for a name.

now, i understand that this isn't possible for everyone, because some people might have a terrible relationship with their parents (e.g. due to transphobia) or their parents are dead or whatever. there are other options:

- take the genderswapped version of your birth name (in your case just your birth name ig)

- and imo the best alternative: ask someone else who loves and cherishes you. bonus points if it's a relative or someone who watched you grow up.

as i said, this is just my personal take and there aren't actually any rules to naming yourself. i just kind of like this traditional touch to it. in the end, if your loved ones give you a name you find absolutely awful, it would probably be better if you pick one yourself. you have to be comfortable with your name, after all.

hi tumblr (or just whoever manages to find this) i was hoping for some transmasc name change advice?

so ive been thinking about my name a lot recently. i have a pretty masculine given name (ryan) but ive been thinking about possibly changing it? and i feel like i dont really need to change my name since its already masculine, but a lot of the time when im referred to as ryan, it just doesn’t feel right. and i was hoping for some advice maybe? thank you guys so much 😭😭

my fanfic author curse (not the one where bad things happen) is that I have the strong urge to make fanfics canon-compliant or "realistic", so every thing that diverts from canon is on purpose. but that also means when i wanna write a silly antman ff about hank pym, i can't until i've rewarched all movies with him in it.

i wonder what's the average number of people that live closer to one's place of work than oneself

i got a drawer under my desk where i throw my personal notes whenever i haphazardly tidy up and it's just a treasure full of story ideas, reflections and conclusions, but also very messy
