Lancer is a... weird little guy? I dunno even though I really liked undertale I didn't really vibe with deltarune and never played past ep1. I do vaguely remember having fun fighting him.
Soooo, uh, yeah, that's Lancer I guess. I'd love to hear about everybody's favourite little weirdos.

I've been getting weird name feelings. I picked out my name awhile ago, and it's what everyone I'm out to knows me by (some of them for several years at this point). I really like it, it's me a lot of the time, but I have to admit it's not me all of the time.
Between middle names, and initials, and possible nicknames or stuff there are like... seven or eight different names that I think are Me and could go by, and depending on the nature of my relationship with people would want to go by multiple or all of them to a person. I just don't even know how I would like, convey that or bring up the subject. Just, "Hey, I know you've known me as [Name A] for like five years since I've been out, and like that's still my chosen name and stuff but also I'm kinda also like [Name B], like I'm still [Name A] but also [Name B] I'm like both, so you can like use both interchangably."
idk, it's not even that big of a deal, it's just kind of annoying because lately I've been feeling a lot more like [Name B] than [Name A]...
I have several friends who have friend names that only people within the community call them by while their family uses another chosen name, and usually this has developed over time. It's really not that big of a deal to ask people for this, i've made that switch without problems every time a friend brought up she wants to try that out. It would be a lot different with, say, boomer parents who already struggle with the chosen name you picked originally, but that's part of how i see this applied in practice. That there is one name that is more intimate, one that has more of a symbolic function, one that is more formal (deliberately not saying "official" here bc uually all of these are these people's official, legal names by now).
Im pretty happy going by just my new name, but any itch to have alt names is satisfied by using a fake name for lots of mundane reasons, cause that alt/fake name is both not me but fun to 'act' as, if that makes any sense.
Oh yeah that's totally normal. You should get a separate phone for when you're her, too.
I dont understand exactly /gen (no pressure to explain if its just a joke I missed)
Just joking about plurality
Very relatable. I feel like names are treated so rigidly in society that it makes it much harder than it needs to be to do this kind of stuff. When I've been telling people my new name I've straight up just been like "and don't be surprised when, not if, I change it again or add on to it". I refuse to be boxed in haha
Like a courtesy name; I think this is fine to want, and you should try it if it matters to you at all. Anyone who is already accepting of you as trans is probably open-minded enough to not have a problem with a courtesy name, even if they don't "get" it.
