Tony: I Dont Go Down On Women But I Expect Them To Suck My Dick And Thats How KINGS Live

I recently ran into this problem while writing and when I did some google searches for a solution I wasn't able to find a lot. My story is written in first person and I don't know how to introduce my character's name without sounding cheesy or cliche. The "My name is [character] is so cringey but I'm not sure how to introduce my character to the reader in a way that sounds natural. Any advice?

Have someone they talk to call them by their name. 

Have a stranger ask them their name for a good reason (e.g. a barista or nurse).

Have them feel annoyed at seeing their name misspelled or hearing it mispronounced.

Have them fill out forms and whoever receives the form comments on the name (e.g. ”Oh, that’s a pretty name” or “Nice, that’s my cousin’s name” etc.).

Have them respond to hearing their name or one similar to it when it isn’t them someone is trying to communicate with (e.g. Kara hears someone call out “Karen” on the street, and turns her head).

Have them mention that another person in their social group has their name (e.g. ”The other Rachel in our book club said…”).

If they primarily go by a nickname, have someone who calls them by their full name make an appearance (e.g. a sudden phone call from their mother, who insists on calling them by their birth name).

Have someone make a joke/pun with their name (e.g. a rival calling them “Dick” when their name is Richard).

Have something associated with them carry their name (e.g. a family business called “Bob Howard & Sons” or a vanity plate on their vehicle).

They like searching through personalized keychain racks and magnet displays to see if their unusual name is in there this time.

Have it mentioned in roll call (this one’s a bit common in a school setting, but roll calls can happen in certain other settings too).

Have them read a letter, email, or something else addressed to them.

There must be a dozen other ways. Use these to brainstorm and find one that fits your story better.

Reblog if your best friend is pretty.

sometimes i try to scroll past this but then i feel guilty

a concept : back when Roy first acquired Ed & Al, Al finds a kitten on the way to the office and puts it in his armor for safe keeping (as one does) but it wakes up and meows and Riza and others are like "whats that noise" and Al panics because kittens are probably not permitted so he just bursts into Roy's office, hands him a kitten, and goes back out to show that there was clearly nothing making noise. And Roy just has to deal bc he'd die before disappointing like 12 yr old Al

*huge breath* AWWWWWWWW

PSA that I need so other people might too

You’re not any less of an adult for like cartoons!

You can watch as many Disney movies as you want!

If you think 6teen is better than Friends you’re probably right!

If you think Avatar is better than most TV shows aimed at adults you’re definitely right!

If you’d rather watch the DCAU or LEGO versions rather than any live action superhero movies I’m right there with you!

You don’t have to have a nostalgic connection to a show you can like one that came out last month!

Watching Voltron or Tangled isn’t bad!

You’re right: there are mature themes that people of any age can enjoy!

Liking Big Hero 6 the series doesn’t make you a loser!

Thinking We Bear Bears is the cutest thing in the world does not make you immature!

Cosplaying Steven Universe isn’t a bad thing!

Loving the Amazing World of Gumball isn’t wrong!

A show doesn’t have sex or swearing or violence to be enjoyable

Iconic.
