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. ;)

I do trust you, Yuri ... I'm just incredibly confused.

...[ A sigh. ] You know what? No promise. I'm coming with you.

W-What ...?

Yuri, you don't have to! I'm sure we could take care of ourselves! Without a doubt!

[ IT'S NOT THAT SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU WITH THEM, REALLY ... ]

Besides, how dangerous could this be?

[ Uh oh, now you have her thinking of everything that could go wrong and incessantly worrying about them. Maybe it's good that you're coming along after all! ]

[ He just smiles. ] Promised Flynn, right? I gotta look after you, you know.

Yuri ...

[ Yep, she remembers. She smiles and nods. ]

Thank you.

Let's find these muns and get some good names!
