the USERNAME meme

Journal names. They're something we all think about, and that we often try to make as fittingly torturous to our characters as possible. Isn't it nice that our characters never have to know they're wandering around with that horrible label attached to them?

...wouldn't it be fun if they did?

RULES

1 Your character is communicating with others through a journal community, just like how we're using them, and they are perfectly aware of that fact. Whether they think that's normal or not is totally up to you.

2 The also know that when they signed on to this community, they were automatically assigned a name that supposedly has something to do with their personality and/or history. They didn't have any say in what that name was going to be, they're just stuck with it.

3 Make a post with your character's reaction to seeing what their own username is. Do they think it fits? Do they hate it with a passion? Are they downright confused?

4 Comment to other people's posts with your character's reactions to everyone else's usernames. If they know the other character, they might have good reason to laugh at them or feel sorry for them. If they don't, this could lead to some pretty interesting first impressions, don't you think?

5 If you want to use a name that's different from your actual journal name, just mark that in your post. No need to create a whole new journal just to make your character's life worse for one meme. ;)

6 PROFIT!

heheh i don't know, karkat, you have to admit it's at least a little bit funny!

[themanwholived]

They were the ones to put up yours.

I will. Sorry about the Cho thing, by the way. Is it bad? I like seeing you?

A pithy in-joke intended to exclude most people simply because they don't happen to a read one person's blog, and isn't actually descriptive of the person in question in any way, shape, or form.

Actually I think I may like it.

[hisgame]

You're saying I'm boosting my ego with the truth?

[he pauses for a second or two, before smirking.]

Although, yours is fairly straightforward as well, isn't it? Can't say I'm surprised. You always tended to lack...subtlety.

[rianofski]

Just because you do it doesn't mean I do it.

[theboywhodied]

No. If we were switched, I know I'd feel the same way.

...Oh, don't worry about it. I wasn't around to take care of her anymore. I'm just sorry I got in the way even after my death.

[heartandsoul]

Of course he is. But trying to find a trope about having a dad that cycles between wanting guys to ogle you and wanting them to not ogle you would take too much time and would be more appropriate for him.

[strategic_guile]

On the contrary. I don't, but you? *scoffs at you*

[howamanlives]

...

Okay, that's just fucking bizarre...

[rianofski]

Care to provide an example?

[sacredpenance]

Oh, then... what about espoir?

[She smiles, looking rather hopeful!]

It means hope!

Fuck yea, I like it. Wonder who you had to blow to get it.

[heartandsoul]

Yeah. That about covers it. And he wanted Soul to ditch me for a cat that can turn into a hot woman because it's what "a real man" would go for.

[howamanlives]

... Maybe he just didn't want you dating Soul?

[heartandsoul]

We're not dating!

[GEEZ.]

It's a lot more important than that, we were in the middle of FIGHTING this cat for one thing, and he's my fighting partner!

[howamanlives]

I never said you were! But you know how people jump to conclusions!

[vaticancameo]

What were you expecting, Mycroft? You don't exactly have a "web presence" on which the people running this particularly ridiculous forum feature could draw.

[adoptalizard]

No. [ more so he is a lizard ] It's a crappy attempt at funny.

[strategic_guile]

You keep your clothes on. If that's not rubbing your power in someone's face...
