this post hereby marks maggie rodriguez’s legal name being changed to mariposa!! it’s the name he chose when he transitioned (something something metamorphosis blah blah blah migration shhhhh flight). the rest of what i had to say here wasn’t important
[original long version under cut shddhdf]
changing mars/maggie’s full name to mariposa because i want to. like it was kind of implied that his full name was margarita or maybe possibly margaret or marguerite like. one of those names. but it’s not a dead name and maggie would not name himself margarita or margaret like marguerite is possible maybe i guess like if it were me there’s definitely a possibility that i could have named myself that if i was transitioning with more knowledge of like. presentation doesn’t have to equal identity and all that? so yeah maggie could’ve named himself marguerite maybe but that would imply that he’s as invested in french as i am and i think he’s a lot more of a polyglot like he definitely speaks french and spanish and arabic (one of the things true of him that aren’t true of me. i only speak french and kinda sorta spanish) if not more languages, so i don’t think the french name would at all make sense to be the one that prevails. anyway margarita is the name of too many of my extended family and also i ashamedly must say mostly just reminds me of alcohol. so none of the marg names were working and in conclusion mariposa is a pretty rad name. and one of my way-back-when original oc’s was named mariposa vasquez so it even has a personal background for me. and real arthur-r fans know that maggie is a transmutation of my old character freddie rodriguez so taking another of my old characters names is not a surprising idea. and in conclusion now there gets to be butterfly imagery too and isn’t that great? im thinking monarchs.
