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?


How to play -

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. Post a comment with your character's name, canon and any preferences you'd like. Include 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. PROFIT!

[ Here goes a supremely unimpressed look that's basically just saying, think that's clever, huh? ]

Bet you, no one else's gonna get it.

Matt Holt | Voltron: Legendary Defender | OTA

[tookashirototheknee]

Oh, this is perfect.

I used to be a space adventurer. And then I took a Shiro to the knee.

.... sorry, Shiro.

[herewolf]

[A heavy, world-weary sigh goes here.]

Was the pun entirely necessary?

[firstchimera]

There wolf.

Giovanni Potage | Epithet Erased

[soupervillain]

...........I love it.

Ganymede | Greek mythology

[eagleswept]

Well. It's certainly not wrong.

[Ganymede sighs, but the eyeroll is more wryly exasperated than annoyed.]

And it definitely sounds a lot less like obnoxious bragging than some other options could, so I'll take it.

Valmont | Jackie Chan Adventures

[whitehairedprettyboy]

That's it? It's... just a mildly unflattering description. It's not even clever. Come on now.

[ Then again, this is the man whose idea of a good username is "filthyrich1", so maybe he's just sore there aren't any numbers in it. ]

[afterlaborday]

So, you don't think you're a pretty boy either?

[Oh, the smirk]

Misaki Okusawa | BanG Dream!

[ghostinmichelle]

Huh. I get it. Okay, that's actually pretty funny. It'll probably confuse the heck out of my bandmates, though.

[ Except Kanon. God bless Kanon. ]

Valmont (child) | Jackie Chan Adventures

[britbrat]

I am not!

[shslliar]

You're not British? [ Gasp! ]

Kazuo Kuwabara | Gantz

[anyhole]

Makes total sense. I like stickin' my dick in things.

[tsundroid]

Sounds rather indiscriminate to me.

Sgt. Chris Walker | OC

[metalicforce]

I doubt anyone will get it.

[chargeants]

Clue me in, what element's more important, the metal part or the force part?

Theo Raeken | Teen Wolf

[firstchimera]

It's fitting.

[threeisapattern]

o shit

u didn't tell me u were in the iliad

Luca Balsa | Identity V

[allegedprisoner]

Oh, I see. This is because they put the title they assigned me in quotation marks...

[ How he ended up being called "Prisoner" in the manor and not Prisoner or Inventor is beyond him. ]

It's a little better, but I would have appreciated it if my username reflected my previous occupation instead of my criminal record.

Gareth Pendragon | Legion of Heroes: Legacy

[dissidentprince]

...eh.

Justin Martingale | OC

[unluckyagent]

Not very flattering, but it's accurate, so...

[Shrug.]

[dissidentprince]

What are tho an agent for?

Kokichi Oma | Danganronpa V3

[shslliar]

Eeeehhh... It looks kinda dumb. Can't you change it to "ultimateliar" or something like that?

[areyuuserious]

[Squinting.]

... What does 'shsl' even mean?

Demencia | Villainous

[lizardgurl4sale]

[ She's just laughing at that username. ]

jade curtiss | tales of the abyss | ota

[fonomena]

My, this might be one of the more strained puns I've seen in awhile. The pronunciation barely even maps, does it? They could have at least added an 'L' to the end of it!

[sibylservice]

Are you upset because it's not appropriately phoneme-enal?

[sibylservice]

I'd have preferred to call myself a sibyl servant, as I did in the original conversation the reference was taken from, but I accept this. Unlike the rest, I cherish a good pun.

aisling o'shea 🪓 original 🪓 ota

[dicheannadh]

It doesn't mean what it's supposed to without the fada, but I suppose it could be worse.

[fonomena]

And what does it mean, with the fada? Pardon my curiosity; this doesn't seem to be a language I'm familiar with...

Dunham Thorton | OC

[halfofit]

You don't know half of it.

Spartacus | Spartacus

[duxducis]

It's not as fitting as you'd like to think.

Father Laurentinus | OC

[grandedio]

I fail to see the relevance.

mallaidh ashby ღ original ღ ota

[sweetestheart]

I don't know how true it is, but I'm not complaining! Unless it's just a play on words...either way, I know it could be worse.

Android 18 | DBZ Kai

[tsundroid]

... I don't get it.

[little_dreamer]

'Tsuntsun' means... [what's a nice way to say it? Chie pauses, thinking.] It means someone who's hard to get closed to. Maybe it means you don't have a lot of friends? But, my Oka-san always says it's better to have a few really good friends rather than lots of casual ones. So long as you're happy, that's what counts.

Mai | ATLA

[maipokerface]

It's not really that creative.

[naotorious]

I like it! Mai is a cute name too!
