Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.

my character has a middle initial that is never explained, and it's always used when the character's introduced (even by himself) in canon so i figure it's pretty significant to him. i think it's his mom's surname, and like to think of it as the surname of one of my favorite teachers in high school who's of the same cultural background as the mom.

as someone who has their mother's surname as their middle name, i approve

it's silly, but i think it's nice to have that little bit of extra connection to both family lines.

Japanese people don't have middle names at all.

I have a friend who keeps her mothers maiden name as a middle name, not to mention manga is generally really confusing about this. It's even worse when there're clear western influences like in One Piece.

/my 50c? idek why I'm replying to this comment. I'm just too lazy to move it up I guess.

There's a character in one of my fandoms who has an unexplained middle initial, and when questioned about it, the creators said that they didn't know what it stood for, and then jokingly said it stands for "Sexy".

So my headcanon is that he never had a middle name, and he gave himself that name to seem cool in college (he is not cool and never was).
