The finality of this implies you killed him, which pleases me. Or, like, ripped out his tongue.
Ha! I think that my really, truly losing my temper was enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She calle me "Pat" for the three or so years we had dealings.
Some people's brains are really weird.
I remember being dissed when I worked for Software City as a teen by a guy who clearly didn't think a 16 year old chick could help him with his computer issue. "Joe", he was sure could. I loved the look on his face when Jo came up the stairs, especially because she was a scarf-wearing Muslim.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ha! That's awesome.

Heh. Just this image is making me happy.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
...I don't care if you call me (realname), meara, or Indy (drag name). I answer to all three. I like all three
I also answer to Teppy, which I use as my board name on FetLife (OH NOES I HAVE CROSSED THE STREAMS). The unfortunate acquaintance who called me "Stephieeeeee" is a kink friend, so it's possible she was conflating "Steph" and "Teppy." And I can see where it might seem inconsistent to be okay with "Teppy," which sounds like a diminutive because of the "-eee" sound at the end, but not with "Stephie." But you know what? It's my fucking name and I get to pick.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Even in grade school, people wanted to call me Terri. Then about jr. high, people started in with an obsession with Tracy. Not until college did people en masse try and call me Trisha.
I think people really don't like saying my given name.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I think that my really, truly losing my temper was enough.
That would be enough, yes indeed.
The only people who get to call me "juli" are my family, because my full names coming from their lips (especially Mom or Grandma) means I'm in trouble. And anyone else who calls me "juli" or "jules" is in trouble with me. No other nicknames, really - except the guys at work are trying to find one for me. I think they're settling on "Red".

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Allyson, I think I found your letter to Sully: [link]
And I gotta say, the guy who's all "But women will get raped if they get captured!" is missing the point. Chances are far higher that an American woman in the military will be raped by one of her fellow soldiers than that she'll get captured and raped by the enemy.
