since my last announcement about this was a while ago and sent is getting a lot of recognition right now, just wanna clear the air regarding smii7y's character, specifically his name.
i have been both reading and writing krii7y stories (now retired from the fandom) since 2017. this was long before we knew what smii7y's name was. the fandom had come up with a few names, skylar being one, and lucas, which was much more common. almost everyone used it, though we all knew it wasnt his name (confirmed by smii7y himself on twitter years ago). the name stuck with me, as i had been using it for so long.
the name being used now, jaren (his real name), is pretty much expected at this point, even if it were old stories before the name came out. smii7y mentioned on twitter once his name came out that he didn't like people who didnt personally know him to use it, hence why i stuck with lucas.
yes, i know his name is not lucas. yes, i know it is probably confusing to see lucas instead if you had not been previously conditioned to use it. please stop telling me that it is not his name /nm
