#meanwhile johnny / johnny boy is either a romantic pet name or you're trying to piss him off there's no in between

[talentforlying]

need more people to know this man colloquially as "con job", it's one of my favorite nicknames for him.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #hello i'm on a paper break #anyway i'm obsessed with the way that so many of his nicknames are based off his last name and not his first #if they're not calling him 'john' then his friends all refer to him with varying flavors of connie / con job / conj #same with fellow con men / grifters / habitual liars #meanwhile johnny / johnny boy is either a romantic pet name or you're trying to piss him off there's no in between #idk on top of the obvious that his dad named him the most basic name in the book bc he hated him too much to put in effort #i get really curious about why constantine's so hung up on using his last name and not his first #i think it's a reputation thing as it usually is with him. no one's scared of 'john' they're scared of 'constantine' #that's his Professional Name
