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!

...hm.

[showoffs]

It is merely an accurate display of talent.

[positivedisaster]

I don't think I get it...

[sweetnotsalty]

It would be about food, wouldn't it...

[biasedagainstbugs]

Hoo? Hoo, I say! Is this intended to be some sort of judgement? I will have you know that my opinions about the wretchedness of insects are entirely reasonable and justified. After all, what sort of reasonable creature has an exoskeleton of all things, and makes rude buzzing noises at all hours of the day and night? None, I say.

[grimreader]

Ah, I see. How apt.

[gigolopuff]

...not gonna lie, it's kinda clever.

[bewithme]

At least it’s not too generic, I suppose? I would have preferred something more clever, like “reydar.”

[buttonsandpasta]

I think I need one of those rename tokens...

[shivmeabreak]

Sure beats the other name a certain somebody gave me.

[Sorry, Sorey.]

[2ndfannypack]

Yeah, great.

[forcefullyunstable]

Me?! Unstable?! I am perfectly STABLE, thank you very much!!

[motherfearest]

Rather cruel, no?

[so_dark_a_road]

Wait a minute! Is that a reference to my driveway??? I can't help it if you drove your vehicle through the guardrail on the way up to my castle and had to call a towing company to pull you out of the gorge! WE DIDN'T HAVE ELECTRIC STREETLIGHTS IN THOSE DAYS.

[low_key_angel]

Ha. Ha.
Very subtle.

[goodweather]

Well, I‘m their weatherman, after all. People even recognize me from it. “I’m Phil Connors, and that’s Good Weather!”

[notme_anymore]

Oh, God.

[wormonastring]

I'm a snake!! A SNAKE, dang it!!

[stupidmammon]

My stupid brother came up with this username and he knows I can't afford a namechange.

[reydacted]

A gremlin?

[jedied]

Great. Thanks. I think I've done plenty of that already.

[everettbackstrom]

I guess my name says it all.

[dyaddy]

Only Rey can call me that.

[bisexualdisaster]

yeah i can't even argue

[orthodonticallychallenged]

I mean, it's not wrong, but...come on, really??
