#thinking about names!! about tâm and thao and [redacted campaign 2 pc]
#idk like. i literally wrote In My Character Doc as one of the first things i did that it would be okay if ppl just wrote tâm's name without
#the diacritical bc it would be easier and i put the phonetic pronunciation of her name in there too bc it is. not intuitive from the english
#and i wasn't lying! it meant a lot to me to even have her name be tâm in the first place
#i picked a name that was obviously vietnamese but i also picked one without actual tones because i Myself don't trust my ability
#to pronounce that let alone other people. my vietnamese is Not Good
#and like. it's just a step. away from all the white and mixed and 'amerasian' (eugh. why) characters i used to make
#like i know my partymates are Good People and Friends and i genuinely was expecting folks to just like. write 'tam.' not quite pronounce it.
#and it still would have been meaningful To Me
#and i'm constantly so so surprised and so so happy when people Do put in that effort
#every time i see my party (and people NOT in my party! so absolutely buckwild!)
#put the little circumflex over the â or say tâm's name
#it makes me SO happy in a way that i truly could not explain it feels a little irrational and ridiculous but also. so nice
#like Everyone In The Party Does It holy shit it feels unreal
#maybe i shouldn't be surprised maybe some other folks will say that saying someone's name correctly is like. base human decency and
#i absolutely trust my party i know they're Good People but just. it makes me so happy. not the surprise of it but the Taking The Time/
#Making The Effort of it
#anyway happy aapi heritage month!
#i love being vietnamese and i love that the things and the characters i create are inseparable from that!
#names are just.
#'you know that your name is safe in their mouth' YEAH
#sorry to just be full of sap i'm making it everyone's problem :D
#i simply. wandering isles folks are the coolest ppl in the world and i could not possibly have predicted how kind y'all are
#even in the smallest things. i don't know if anyone thinks twice about tâm's name but me
