Look at me. I am [deadname] now. 👀
you got a deal
Previously
As one of us is a fae, we offer this service as well.
Username checks out
As much as I like this idea, I feel I need to point out that the fae don't just take your name, but rather they use it to control you.
Somehow, I feel that's worse than giving up your deadname. Being controlled by your deadname sounds like a nightmare!
Not all of us fae are like that.
I get this, but I also remember seeing a conversation that went something like this.
Fae: "Can i have your name?"
TF: "j̶̢̧̩̻̯̣̻͓̲̟͉̿̏̔͋̀͌̓ǫ̸̧̨͎͈͖̘͉̝̹̤̝̀̍͛̂̐̒h̷̨̦̩̣̠͖͎̬̭̦̻͌̆̇͜n̶͇̮͔̤̭̐̈́̐͆͆̾͝"
Fae, in dread: "What is.... this abomination.... take it back!!!!"
TF: "Nope, it's yours now."
Sounds very Dresden Files
But doesn't that only apply to your real name? I though that the deadname was exactly the opposite to the real one!
