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. ;)

[ No, if it was him, it would be along the lines of Blueeyedhawk or Hawkniss. More play, more culture. ]

( she's held a grudge against loki for a long time, since the chitauri invasion, without ever meeting him face to face. she thought if she ever did, she'd be furious.

that's not how fate and timing works.

she doesn't feel anger toward him. she doesn't feel anything. right now, she can't feel her own emotions. she can only sense other people's, and only when she touches them.

so if he's around, smirking knowingly and dropping wisdom like hawkniss on the masses? the worst she'll do is flatly comment on his username too. )

You say that a lot.

[ Guess he wasn't as inconspicuous as he thought. Oops. ]

I think that depends on your definition. I may have, a few times here and there when the fact required reminder, but hardly lots.

[ If you will excuse him, he'll blend back into the anonymity of pseudonyms and electronic illusions. ]

Once is a lot of times to be wrong.

( that's how low her tolerance for bragging is. likewise, once is a lot of times to invade new york. once is a lot of times to kill coulson. that's what she thinks, but it's just a thought.

may would like to nominate lady sif for the goddess of swords, if they're just giving those titles out on asgard. she likes sif. )
