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. ;)

[Well, yes. Yes, he is. 8D He's adorable and fluffy! Although Lilo might have something to say about someone else trying to adopt her... dog (unless Lilo adopts you first into her little ohana).

Stitch looks up from his mug to look at Rey, his head tilting up at her curiously. Cute as he is, this little alien has awful table manners and burps loudly before saying hello.]

Hah-Hiiiiiii?

[Whoops?]

[ Rey has need of a family, they can work with this!

She also has some pretty shabby table manners herself on top of a penchant for helping small creatures out. She's gonna wrinkle her nose and crouch down to his level. ]

Hello there. Are you lost?
