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!

That you know about.

[slayers_desire]

I wouldn't do that... that would be a punishment for me too.

[anklebiter]

I won't. [Stubborn boy is stubborn and proud. He's struggling even harder now, ehehe...

THEN WHY DID YOU TIE HIM UP, HUH??? LET HIM GO RIGHT NOW, HENTAI PINEAPPLE!!]

[womanwhobeatyou]

Come now, Mr. Holmes. We all know what comes before a fall.

[heartisabattleground]

[Wait a moment...]

Are you....are you one of King Mickey's lost friends?

[ibrokeharlem]

It's a neighborhood in New York.

So... what makes you not like the rest?

[ibrokeharlem]

Metaphorically. I just don't like to talk about it.

[Eyeing that name up there skeptically]

[not_like_the_rest]

I don't have anyone that I love, so the capital can't use them against me.

[findsways]

[That's a really...sad way of putting it, but hey. It is true. Aqua gives a small nod.]

I guess I am.

You know him, too?

[These are a lot of familiar names to handle.]

[quickly]

Uh, yeah. Course I am.

Why wouldn't I tell everyone I'm the quickest there is?

[front_mortar]

Yer girlfriend must be disappointed.

wonder how she'll take it when she finds out this is Sora.

[heartisabattleground]

Yeah, I'm friends with him too.

[vestalments]

It's decidedly unspecific. It could refer to any troll. Unless it's about size.

[Kanaya no that's mean.]

[stolensazureus]

You like your founder a lot huh?

[madeyoufall]

Maybe you're more comfortable with what it says. I have other interests.

[forcedreset]

Most assuredly. I shall keep all of your wise and sound advice close at hand!

[ and he taps a long finger to his right temple. ]

[forcedreset]

Ah! Of course, how silly of me to think otherwise. It should have been more than obvious that I am in the presence of great and masterful villainy! My apologies.

[megamind]

Oh, how wise of you to recognize it as such! Very good of you. When I am overlord of the internets, I will remember you.

tbh i rarely post, but when i saw christine i had to

[fuckyouwebber]

I wish I knew! I have no idea who the man is.

[While he just seems slightly flustered]

i'm glad you did!

[la_daae]

Well, clearly you don't feel kindly towards him, whoever he is.

[Don't laugh, Christine, it's mean.]

Don't fret, darling. I think other people have it far worse, from what I've seen.

[chronicbackstabdisorder]

Reminds me of lots of people.

[fuckyouwebber]

I suppose that you're right. Still, knowing that it isn't that bad is hardly reassuring. It still is bad.

[la_daae]

But, it is not as bad as it could be.

XEMNAS! \o/

[chronicbackstabdisorder]

[Oh shit, it's the Superior. Backstabbing? What backstabbing? Wasn't him.]

Hello, Superior. Didn't think you were into the social networking thing.

[fuckyouwebber]

You're right.

[a small pause]

I've missed you, Christine.
