What nicknames do your characters have for eachother?

Leyelle 2024-05-08 02:54:58 UTC #51

Yeah, but some people call what I call "roundy" or chunky "curvy" so I always have to ask context lol. I like writing a lot of characters of varying heights, weights and body types, but we all have different ways of describing them. Yeah people will tend to look less curvy the taller they are cuz they'll look thinner. Alicia's basically the same height and shape as a large vase but my new female lead is very very tall and very thin, so I'm having to figure out how to style her as I have zero experience with it. I'm short and ...roundy myself, so I only know how to work with things within that spectrum rn. I have to expand my knowledge lol

I can't believe you compared her to a vase

I'm pretty much average height 5'4 and I'd consider myself relatively thin so writing rounder or chunkier characters are more difficult to me. Plus, I really don't know how it feels to be super tall either. At least when I put on heels, I can be kind of tall

As a curvy short queen I claim the right to do this.

Honey, that's easy as a snap. I can help you out if you're ever stuck.

Now, if I put on heels, I can be slightly above average. I'm 5'3, which is above average height for my ethnicity but definitely not tall XD, and by no stretch of the imagination could I consider myself thin lol, so curvy and chunky girls are not a lot of trouble for me write. I don't really struggle with tall and relatively tall curvy girls either. It's just really tall and really thin that is like another planet for me XD.

We're not much different then heightwise. With 3 or 4 inch heels we can be slightly above average pretty easily

Honestly though, the world looks so much different even with my 4 inch heels, I couldn't imagine actually being consistently tall.
I've spent most of my life being thin, I was a tiny child, lol. At the start of college, I was only around 115 lbs and now I've been maintaining 125 lbs for the last few years, so I've got a good grip on styling myself, but I don't know how tall girls do it.
I can only imagine a tall girl buying a crop top that fits more like a bikini because of her long torso. Or buying a pair of shorts that look way shorter because her legs are longer. Or jeans that don't reach her ankles, instead landing somewhere on her calf instead. Honestly it sounds like a nightmare to me I used to think I wanted to be taller, but I think i'll keep my height

Leyelle 2024-05-08 03:38:56 UTC #55

Yeahhhh, I legit have a whole story about a 7 ft. tall girl who can't find anything to wear until she befriends a short boy who wants to be a fashion designer XD.

I was thin when I was a little kid, but I've been chunky since I was 12. I had relatives telling me I shouldn't eat ice cream so I could look more like a seven year old, no lie. Even now losing weight to be healthier I still have a wider body type lol. So I don't think looking particularly thin is in my cards very naturally.

That being said, I like my body type now, and I know how to style myself, but ATM I ain't got that kind of budget lol.

HostileFren 2024-05-08 03:45:02 UTC #56

That is awful! I can't stand family members that they they can dictate what your body should look like. Being health is what is important and what is healthy for one person may not be healthy for another. Plus some people are naturally wider or thinner than others. Being too thin is a problem too

Me neither. I'm still currently living the broke college student life so proper styling will simply have to wait, lol

Leyelle 2024-05-08 03:52:30 UTC #57

Yeah, it was a pain, but I'm doing better now, and just choosing to spread positivity by showcasing more different kinds of beauty in my works. I started with my super tiny, not particularly thin lead, now I have my tall, very thin girl. I guess I'll have to do an in-between height lead next xd

Leyelle 2024-05-12 13:30:38 UTC #58

What is Alice's hair texture? I want to try drawing her lol. Also, what does Teddy look like?

Hmmm...for Blue Fedora...I want Otto to call Blue a cute name in German, but I'm not sure which term to use.

Blue Fedora calls him "Dear" on occasion, and Otto uses "Love" and "Darling" for now until I can come up with something else.

As for Clyborne-Chatterjee, Rin is actually a Nickname! His full name is Tasarinan, named after a province in Lord of the Rings (his other dad ran a bookstore and was a bit of a bookworm). Clyborne goes by Clyborne, Mr. Clyborne, or occasionally Cly by anyone he meets. People only call him Cornelius if they're especially close to him.

Leyelle 2024-05-12 15:03:25 UTC #61

Ohh, I was looking up German terms of endearment a while ago for the ones my character Hallie used for her roommate. things like Meine Leibe ("my love") and she also is going to refer to her as "Mouse's Leg" at some point. I don't know why it's a term of endearment in Germany but it is lol.

Vikthetoonaddict 2024-05-12 15:12:21 UTC #62

I was debating on Mauschen, or little mouse. But I don't know if it sounded too silly for someone like Blue Fedora.

KevinReijnders 2024-05-12 15:25:39 UTC #63

Could be fun if it was a little too silly for her. Shows that she can only show a certain side of herself to him and that he accepts that in full.

Leyelle 2024-05-12 16:54:25 UTC #64

I think it could work, but I guess it depends on what you're tryna go for

Leyelle 2024-05-24 01:52:58 UTC #65

Ohh, Melissa's husband calls her Lissita because she's so tiny. Her son calls her ima (because she's Jewish) rather jokingly sometimes instead of mom, but that isn't quite a nickname. Alicia has her saved in her phone as Melly.

Leyelle 2024-06-03 23:14:34 UTC #66

Dominic calls his sisters 'Cocoa' and 'Honey.' People call them these things as insults for their brown complexions, but he thinks they're pretty, and uses them as compliments and terms of endearment.

abigaillmartin 2024-06-04 16:21:08 UTC #67

Don’t tell me that this isn’t adorable!! Auuug!

Other nicknames Houdini had for Bess was “Silver Bride”
“Dearest One and Only”

I’m “Little Miss Mischief”
🏻🏻

Leyelle 2024-06-04 16:24:30 UTC #68

lump of sweetness doesn't sound the most appealing imao xd. maybe it's just cuz lump is an awky word

Leyelle 2024-06-18 23:57:21 UTC #69

Everyone calls Essence's little sister "Beth." Essence's mother calls her "Essie" and while it doesn't count as a nickname, everyone in the office says Muñeca's name wrong and calls her "Monica"

beebutterbee 2024-06-19 00:20:05 UTC #70

RIP Muñeca, I remember back in middle school my friend Shaniqua got called Shank-ko so that’s pretty out there I guess Monica is annoying but not horrible Janeva got called Jane-ever, Xochitl tripped up so many people but I think the worse sounded something like sh*t skittles we never let that one down. Actually so many people got misnamed but mostly by substitutes teachers, regular teachers usually could stick to names and learned them fairly quickly.

For my own story I don’t think I’ve shown any nicknames yet! But I do have them written out the lore already. I think Lady Lock’s nickname ish by Chariot is Locket, but that’s less of a nickname and more so just her actual name. Everyone just calls her Lady Lock though, and she used to be Knight Lock because Geoffrey only referred to her as Lock so it caught on everywhere.

Here’s my latest chapter for anyone interested in reading the buttery tales I’ve drawn so far! >:0
