And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Second trip to the kosher supermarket yielded the things I couldn't find on the first trip. (Also helps, that it wasn't insanely crowded like it was on Sunday.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Huh. Out of spouse, stepson, brothers, BIL, father, uncles, cousins and nephews (a pretty large crowd when you add them all up), I have exactly two male relations with that last letter.

Our wings are not tired.
I married one and have a son with the same name, so contributing to the popularity apparently. As did my father and brother.

My nephew is, I think, my only male relative with that last letter.
I just used set theory at work! Didn't call it that, but in my head I knew.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I have two brothers, two cousins, two nephews and one son whose name ends in n. Though only one of them seems to fit the trend described (there's a nephew Aiden, the others all have names that peaked at least 30 years ago).

I have a confusing number of Johns (no, not that kind) in my ancestry, plus a Herman and a Ruben. AFAIK, neither Herman nor Ruben are in danger of becoming trendy. (My grandfather's brother Rube was christened Emanuel Ruben, but had his name changed to Ruben Emanuel. My grandfather was named Frank Edward, but changed his name to Edward Frank. I do not have a clue why.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We have a Julian, a dead Marlon, a Peter, a Paul, a Herschel, a self-chosen Kaleb, a Lascelles, ...we aren't big on the n names and I'm forgetting a few guys, aren't I? Ah, Kenneth. See, I'm not appalling.

I'm wrong, my nephew and one cousin end in N. And my sister's father-in-law, is he officially kin to me? I don't think there are any others among my in-laws, but I wouldn't swear to that as I'm not sure I could run down all those names. There might be some further up (or would that be down? I'm not sure about the metaphor now) the family tree, but not that I'm remembering.
My Box o' Produce came while I was at work, hooray!
