@ -25,6 +25,8 @@ What text?
* Could do some Jeff VanderMeer texts? Like, there's Ghost Bird in Southern Reach, and there's the strange bird, and there's Borne who was named almost deliberately...
* Texts with weird names (esp in 'normal' contexts) that just treat them as normal.
Do I write this as a prose poem?
-----
Names bear power, I promise myself, my characters promise each other. Names bear power and yet we are in so many ways beholden to them. They bear power over us, even if we don't want them to. They bear power over us sometimes *because* we don't want them to. We don't choose them, do we? At least most of us don't. The vast majority don't, even, to the point where the joke goes in trans circles, "Nice name, did your mom pick that out for you?"
