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. ;)

Rather First Order than whatever the Resistance does to disloyal soldiers. But neither. Neither would be fine.

We aren't of the same ilk as the First Order. They aren't being tortured or killed, if that's what you're insinuating.

I don’t need therapy. I don’t need reconditioning. I don’t need Snoke tearing through my head again. I’m not some kind of ship that needs to be fixed with whatever spare parts you’ve got lying around. I’m FINE. Okay?

You are so far from fine it's not funny.

Fine. If you're going to be this way. Ignore any help anyone offers you, Ben, but not everyone is Snoke.
