'Aight today's rant is about pet names.
Why do I hate them? Like seriously. I find them so cringy! Like babe? *puking noises* and the cousin of babe, baby. It's like nails on a chalk board. I can't STAND it! I don't even know why. In all honesty, the only pet name I like is "love". I would melt if someone called me that. \/(. - .)\/
Here are some subcategories of pet names I want to talk about: Pet names in fanfiction, pet names in texts, pet names said out loud, and finally... the stupidest pet names ever created.
Pet names in fanfiction.
________________Solangelo. Who the f*ck would call someone death boy and expect it to sound cute?!? And a variation of that is death breath. Will is way too sweet to call someone he loves that. Periodt. Also, Nico wouldn't say the word "sunshine" as a pet name. I dunno. I just think he wouldn't be caught dead saying that. I think it's very realistic for Will to call Nico sunshine, but nothing the other way around. On that note, I need some pet names for Nico. Please submit, thank you!
Tratie. Oh good 'ol tratie. I have quite a few problems with tratie fanfics in general. *cough cough* always starts as a fake relationship and they go to Dave and Busters (not that there's anything wrong with Dave and Busters) *cough cough* But nonetheless I still read as many I can get my hands on. What's up with Katie-Kat? Is it supposed to be like Kit-Kat? I need to know. Because even Kit-Kat is a horrible pet name. Like imagine calling your SO Kit-Kat/ Katie-Kat. It just doesn't make sense! Unless it has some personal meaning behind it. Which I might remind you- it doesn't. I dunno, it just irks me. Anyway. Share your thoughts.
(Maggie for Magnus is cute. You can't change my mind on that. Finally, a GOOD pet name)
Pet names in texts
_____________Okay, in texts I can see where babe is a little bit more okay. But please still don't call me that unless it's specifically friendship purposes. Here's a text conversation that uses "baby": I can't stand it.
Ew. Just ew.
Moving on..
Pet names said out loud:
_________________How does one say a pet name out loud? Every time I try it just sounds cringe. Like "babe" or "baby". Yes. We are going back to those. Why? Just WHY?!? Like I can't say it WITHOUT it sounding like I'm trying to be cringe. A great example of this is "bABy" "bAbE". I sh*t you not, that is what I sound like saying those.
To our last category.
The worst pet names ever created.

Okay, if any of you have good, non-personalized (or personalized I don't care) pet names feel free to comment them. Please.
Thank you.
