Y()

Yeah, n(), it's c()()l

H()nestly I waffled ()ver it f()r quite a while? I mean, I dunn()

It wasn't like it was a sudden inspirati()n thing, but the pers()nal name part at least was kind ()f intuitive. The ()ccupati()nal title was m()re calculated. I mean part ()f that was I didn't really want t() just make shit up there? That w()rks f()r s()me pe()ple w()rking ()utside ()f imperial stricture - I mean, y()u kn()w I d()ubt m()st ()f the Signless's crew's titles are ()n any kind ()f ()fficial lists anywhere, and I g()t n()thing but respect f()r them. But the title's als() kind ()f a statement ()f where y()u fit, y()u kn()w?

My thing has always kind ()f been n()t sitting back and letting s()ciety tell me my c()ntributi()ns d()n't matter, I guess. Wasn't ab()ut t() be like "()k there's n() way t() c()nceptualize my r()le in an Alternian framew()rk." Even if I'm n()t living in an Alternian-c()ntr()lled c()mmunity at this p()int, and I kind ()f h()pe I d()n't have t() ever again

I went back and f()rth between "Psymagus" and "Bi()smith" a little, but I guess I figured that the ()bs()lete psi()nic-specific title was m()re what I wanted than the extant ()ne that w()uldn't ever get assigned t() s()me()ne my hue

Pers()nal name... ()k h()nestly I m()stly just wr()te sh()rt w()rds that appealed t() me - things that were kind ()f thematically me? - ()n little pieces ()f paper and pushed them ar()und the table t()p until I f()und an eight-letter sequence that s()unded g()()d. There was a l()t ()f writing things d()wn and crossing them ()ut again inv()ved. Might n()t have been the m()st dignified ()r efficient way t() g() ab()ut it but it w()rked? I asked my family f()r their tw() ceagers, t()(). Just t() be sure I wasn't ch()()sing s()mething that every()ne I l()ve th()ught s()unded stupid? It was my ch()ice but I wanted t() kn()w what they th()ught

I dunn() h()w helpful ()r inf()rmative ()r whatever this is, but like, that's what I've g()t
