Multiply by 5.

I've talked about identity a thousand times, but. Parts of me needs to force myself to talk about it again.

A lot of people seem to go by a million user names/screen names or idk maybe that's literally a Tumblr problem where people go by twenty thousand Japanese names or go by the name of a character they like. I don't know. But I've established something. Something major that I want to point out.

I kind of go by two names, if you can even call it that. Everyone by now knows be as "Palamon/Pala" or Kory.

Allow me to explain something, not like anyone cares. But.

I'd prefer if you don't see me as a friend to just keep calling me Palamon or Pala. It bugs me a lot when people who aren't my friends who call me by my name. This is my screen name of sorts. Please respect this idea and don't call me Kory if you don't see me as a friend or I don't know you much.

But if you see me as a friend or I don't know want to be my friend (why the hell would anyone wanna be my friend, how terrifying...), you can call me Kory. I'd enjoy that.

Also don't call me pet nicknames like sweetie, hun, doll, etc.
i hate those. No feminine titles. I beg you. Masculine titles only, guy, dude, prince, I don't care. Please don't call me anything female, I identify completely with masculinity. Pink font or not, that's just a thing because posting in color is a really bad habit of mine & I don't want to stop since I like posting in a bit of font color to make me stand out in threads. That's all.

I want everyone to understand that I want to be seen as male--or masculine. Maybe just masculine. I'm going to be more open about this irl because I'm tired of being closed door. No one understands, and I want to vocal about my identity. I know that's dangerous, since Trump is making his way into the White House, but I don't care! Not gonna stop me from being what I want to be.

You're free to think I'm "confused" but I'm not. I've never been so sure of my identity than I ever have before.

im glad you found a few solid name identifiers! it makes things so much easier on yourself once you do imo. and im proud of you for being so open abt taking about your journey in identity or... however you want to say that idk. also is it ok if i randomly switch all the time? like usually i call you pala cause its easy and everyone knows that one but also i use kory too so

i'm glad that you've found your identity. <3 i'm still trying to find myself but i'm glad a friend of mine has found theirs. i'll try to lay off the pet names (it's a habit of mine i'm sorry) but since i consider you a friend i'll call you kory? i-if that's okay. if not i can call you pala c:

i'm glad you're vocal about your identity though! i'm trying to be somewhat vocal about mine as well, on facebook and other forums i go on. i identify as nonbinary/genderflux, but that could change considering that i'm still trying to find my own identity. who knows? however! i am proud of you and happy <3

do what makes you happy, dude!
