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!

Not a day I need reminding of, thanks.

[snaku]

...I mean, yeah. Fair enough.

[treasonoldor]

I fail to see why this was necessary. I also don't appreciate the attempt at wordplay.

[irondad]

Y'know, it sure feels that way sometimes.

[no_tears_only_smiles]

Of all the things to be reminded of, I suppose it could have been a more prominent thing than this.

... at least Matoi would be happy about it.

...EXCUSE ME? I WANTED DISCUTTING AS MY JOURNAL NAME, NOT THIS.

I cannot pinpoint what, exactly, is being rolled. But I can't dispute the rest of it.

War's over.

[ it still means something, but what he's reticent to admit. ]

Well, anyway. I appreciate the British spelling.

[eyebehold]

This is not just a username I greatly dislike, but one that is a pun on top of that and I very much would like to talk to whoever set this up.

[busdriver]

( it's a nice surprise. nothing like what she expected. it's gotta date back to the very beginning. )

I miss my plane.

[standardprocedure]

Because "standard operating procedure" was too long.

[enspangle]

Yeah, it's fine. Not at all on the nose. Or degrading.

Guess I should just count my blessings "spangly" was already taken.

[selfburn]

Hm.

[unqualifeyed]

Oh — for God's sake, really?? Of all things, it had to be that?

[mushroomed]

What the fuck? That's fucking rude... and it doesn't even make any sense!

[cywyllog]

Well, it is my name, after all.

[stilla90skid]

In spirit.

[37fosterhomes]

It's... accurate.

[illegalsinmybottom]

...I don't wanna talk about it. [Downs a bottle of beer.]

I survived.
