Hi, can I have your name?

    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!

      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.”

      But doesn’t that only apply to your real name? I though that the deadname was exactly the opposite to the real one!
