all for the game backlog post: thoughts on neil's legal name change

originally posted on tumblr here on Oct 14th, 2025

what gets me about the fbi letting neil legally change his name is that

1. it means he didnt legally change his birthday so legally his birthday is still january 19th and i feel like a lot of people dont realize this (i think he still celebrates on march 31st so he doesnt have to celebrate day of though)

2. they had already filled it out most of the way so they didnt know to include his middle name (i like to think he added it while signing so it could still be there)

3. what fucking address did they put for the drivers license and passport????????????? do you think they let him fill that part out himself or did they just. put down nathans house because that was his last known residence????? (im choosing to think he filled it out himself and he put the columbia house when he asks andrew what address to use in confusion and andrew tells him to use that but the sheer insanity of the possibility of it being his childhood home and he has to have a maryland license as a reminder until he can go to the dmv in south carolina to change it is just. ough)

#the address one gets me the most WHAT FUCKING ADDRESS #i like the angst of him having it as his childhood home a bit but the warmth of it being the columbia house is peak #ough

thoughts from Mar 18th, 2026:

ok honestly the more i think on this the more i love the angst of him still having the baltimore address on there! which makes it all the more special when he gets to update his license and change it (i still think he changes it to the columbia house, its just after he has to have baltimore on there for a bit)

ok those are my current thoughts bye
