(whether legally or otherwise)
If multiple reasons, select the one that was foremost. For example, my name (Anastasia):
I chose first and foremost for the meaning, and will vote for that here
I chose for the aesthetics, as a secondary but also critical factor (I would not have chosen a name I didn't like aesthetically, no matter how appropriate the meaning)
I also chose for the "other" reason: because it's pronounceable in all the languages I speak and doesn't violate their orthography rules so doesn't require modification from language to language
(My name's short form, "Nastja", I chose as a matter of aesthetics, and because I have reasons to reject each of the other common shortenings of my name; Ana gets mistaken for a different name with a different meaning, and I don't like Stacey etc aesthetically. And now, the name Nastja has extra meaning to me, because by coincidence I ended up with a girlfriend with the same name, who since died, so now I have the honour of wearing it for both of us)
Ever since i was a little girl i knew i never wanted to be pregnant
Made myself a 2024 bingo either last December or this January and
“what’s your aesthetic” it’s super niche actually it’s called clothes i like. hope this helps
"kindness is punk <3" ok that's great but do you mean giving money to homeless people and listening to people of color and calling out racism when you see it and having compassion for drug addicts or do you mean like. holding the door open for people sometimes
just remembered something an old therapist of mine said.
“it sounds like under all that anger, you feel hurt”
yeah??? i’m angry cause he hurt me. i literally said that. that’s what we were talking about. that’s the whole entire reason i was there.

“Appeal to a wider audience” is corporate lingo for “strip more themes from a piece of media so it’s safer and more sanitized for investors”
im pro choice and i think there are a lot of good pro choice arguments but my bad evil (speaking facetiously) argument is that i kind of dont care and i dont think it matters for anyone but the specific person whose body it concerns. im not religious so i dont believe in souls. if a lady finds out she’s pregnant and doesn’t want it and aborts it without telling anyone then like so what? i dont feel bad for the fetus. i don’t remember being a fetus. nobody does. it might’ve become a person, but so might every sperm and egg that goes unused. I might’ve become a world class ballerina if i didnt stop taking lessons when i was 6, so i expect all ballet enthusiasts to now start crying for the talent stolen from them. And the situation in which i *do* feel bad is if the woman has her life derailed suffering through an unwanted pregnancy. See, then i feel bad because there’s a woman in physical and emotional pain. I also feel terrible for women who suffer miscarriages during wanted pregnancies. but also because those women are going through physical and emotional pain. i dont feel bad for the fetus itself. isn’t this a normal way for empathy to work or am i somehow evil in some way i haven’t considered
finally got around to designing a self sona :3
