name game


what's in a username?
a fourth wall meme

 

 


- Characters can suddenly see their own usernames! And each others! How do they react? You tell me!

- Post a character and, maybe, their opinions on the name of their journal.

- Judge others and be open to being judged. We're looking at you, [profile] breederswanted.

According to this - [ gesturing with a small scrap of paper ] - it's because I enjoy a good party.

...More specifically, it says "he likes, he likes to party."

[ He doesn't really get it, but it's not like it's wrong. ]

I work at the meat distribution center, and I've got two sons, sooooo... It's not inaccurate, but...

[Is that all she's known for???????]

[Unlike most, Ranma's got not one, not three, but two names hovering over his head. One is this very name, the other's [personal profile] treebornekettlegirl. Glowering daggers to the former, scoffing.]

Hardy har har. Very funny, I get the joke, y'jerks...

[Grumble grumble.]

Dunno why they chose the other one, Kuno hasn't called me that in forever.

Honestly, if I could get away with being open about it, I would totally have this username on Tiktok.

You should! It's such a good pun!
lycandsubscribe: (mismade were stakes)

[personal profile] lycandsubscribe 2026-01-14 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It is, but it's not safe to be open about such things. Not when there's hunters and other wolves who don't want our secrets blasted to the public.
floralias: (js195)

[personal profile] floralias 2026-01-14 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
True. Even with plausible deniability, it's probably a big risk, huh? Well, I think it's very clever!
lycandsubscribe: (frankly)

[personal profile] lycandsubscribe 2026-01-14 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

...you're not surprised to hear of the existence of werewolves, huh?

[And there's that odd floral scent--orchids?--lingering around Will that's drawing out Van's curiosity.]
floralias: (js243)

[personal profile] floralias 2026-01-14 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope~ I've known one or two before. [ He offers a warm, genuine smile. ] Don't worry. I don't plan to tell anyone. I'm pretty sure humans outnumber everything, except maybe bugs?

[personal profile] peerlesschrysanthemum 2026-01-14 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's an expressionless, dead-eyed stare, and then a faint, cracking noise from where Shen Qingqiu is clutching his fan, threatening to break its spines. With a near-silent, hissed curse (which might have included something like motherfucking gossip brigade, ah!) he looks away, snapping his fan out to fan himself really hard with it.]

Damn straight.

[VOLITION: A title earned, and one that will need continued nurturing.

DRAMA: A proud declaration, forged from the lowest of sorrows, risen and ascending ever higher and higher.

INLAND EMPIRE: A promise, to beauty. To the para-natural. One forever etched into the heart.

AUTHORITY: Something that commands respect.

SHIVERS: A smiling city, with teeth made of dotted lights, resolved. Ready. Willing.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY: Fuck all of you, just give this man a doobie.]

Not the most original, but it could be worse.

I could be named Bob-Bob.

You know what my ID spells? Fucking nothing.

You sure Sonar didn't set you up? Seems ironic to get an ID number like 'boobies' when you obviously never see any.

They do attempt to simplify us down to singular moments or our most basic, and often exaggerated, of traits, do they not?

Though I suppose they find it more difficult to be imaginative with a limit of 25 characters.

O-Oh... that's, uh... something. Yes. It's... something.

Yamada 💭 OC - OTA

[personal profile] changeyourself 2026-01-14 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the registered name for my power.

[ To demonstrate why, Yamada holds up a hand. With a cute tinkling, the flesh turns to diamond from the wrist to the fingertips. The fingers of his other hand wriggle flexibly as they become plant sprouts, budding yellow flowers. Now he's an animal-mineral-vegetable!

Why it's change yourself and not change myself, he decides not to comment.
