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. ;)

[The off brand Avengers merchandise does give him a chuckle whenever he sees some when he's ever in a dollar-store.]

Is it weird for you? Having merchandise.

( merch and a symbol wouldn't really align with representing the circus. or the state. or the country. but hell, she could be way off the mark here. she can only compare her past life figure-skating and wushu experience. there's probably some crossover with gymnastics but it's nothing she's investigated deeply. by her standards this is already a long conversation. )

[And the prizes at the carnival games were just cheap and generic toys that the circus could make a profit on.]
That's me, the ordinary guy blending in with the exceptional people and doing exceptional things.

( hard because it has to seem effortless, like an accident.
when she was young, may was very competitive as an athlete and a fighter. somebody had to win competitions and she figured it might as well be her. but never letting the team down was more important than winning medals.
willingness to contribute from the background, doing thankless jobs, served her well later, as an agent. clint — he's had it both ways. low profile work and high profile work. )
And hey. Not so ordinary.

[He would hide in the rafters, skipping out of his own practice just to watch the other performers.
Though now Clint used the skills he had learned to help save the world and apparently soften every one of his falls into a dumpster.]
Compaired to the other Avengers I kinda am.

( she still watched figure-skating after she switched to martial arts. makes her wonder how natasha felt about ballet, but she never asked. clint might know the answer to that.
her whole career, may's only ever had discipline and training. never powers. the last thing she expected was for something to change now.
she shrugs. )
You don't have a suit of armor. You're not the god of anything. But you do it anyway. Just proves you've got guts.
