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!

[ Okay, he's just gonna squint at that for a moment. The missing umlaut over the second "e" is kinda throwing him off here. After another long moment, he just shrugs, sliding his shades on. ]

Well, at least it isn't French? Like, that'd have been fucking bad.

[mobprincess]

What's it mean anyway?

Crow | Destiny 2

[kinderguardians]

(( might contain spoilers for current season ))

...I don't know what that means but I don't think I like it.

[ His ghost Glint, his tiny robot companion, materializes near the hunter to provide some helpful insight. ]

Oh, 'kinderguardian' is a nickname given to new guardians who are still in that awkward phase where they make a lot mistakes and haven't quite gotten the hang of using their Light yet.

I'm not... awkward. I know what I'm doing.

Well there was that time you-

GLINT.

There's no shame in admitting you're still learning, Crow.

[chiaro_oscuro]

Glint's right, Crow, there's nothing wrong with learning.

Everybody starts somewhere, and it's a sign of strength to know where you're weak as well as where you're strong.

I've still got a lot to figure out, too.

Granted, the Force is different from the Light, and there wasn't much of a learning curve with the pack I ran with.

They weren't the reassuring kind, or the kind to tolerate weakness. It was more "learn fast or you're dead".

Justin Martingale | OC

[unluckyagent]

"Unlucky Agent." I couldn't have said it better...

holly genovese / original / ota

[mobprincess]

I ain't a princess, fucks sake...makes it sound like I'm playin' pretend over here.

Could've at least made it Italian, make it look fancier.

[beeindigen]

Nah, you're totally a princess.

Coda - OC - OTA

[senseloss]

A reference to Polybius, translated in one of the more poetic ways.

Thanks, I hate it.

Meredith Idlewild - OC - OTA

[henchgal]

...well, that's reductive. Not inaccurate, but reductive.

[halfofit]

People usually do reduce henchmen into something like that. Something simple and disconnected. Then they won't feel bad when they fall like flies.

Dunham Thorton | OC

[halfofit]

Not that I'm hiding it or anything.

anthony j. crowley / good omens / ota

[sainsburys_plant_mister]

Best there is.

[halfofit]

What does it mean?

magda moreau • original • ota

[thecrookedkind]

If that's meant to be a reference to something, it's missed the mark. No idea what the fuck it's meant to mean.

Richie Tozier || IT

[foul_mouthed]

Could be worse.

[complexharmony]

It's like a badge at an AAA meeting. 'Hi My Name Is...' Yours seems apt.

Shuu Fujiwara | Tsurune

[bowfriend]

[There's no verbal reaction, but he smiles when he sees the name.]

Shu Itsuki | Ensemble Stars

[oshisan]

Hmm. That name again? It's not what I would have chosen for myself.

[rebelledforhim]

[He tilts his head, frowning thoughtfully. It’s not about whether he likes it. He just knows the kind of flack he’s going to get from it.]

It’s not..inaccurate.

[esmeral]

Would you have chosen it?

I'm still bewildered that I got my own actual name as a username.

Lady Anne | Shakespeare’s Richard III | OTA

[isnottogive]

”To take is not to give”

Heh, at least you did choose a good quote.

richard gansey iii | the raven cycle

[dickthree]

This is very indecorous.

[halfofit]

Is it tho?

[complexharmony]

( Looks at the name. Half-smiles. )

Trite to use words from a quote, but it fits. It's... acceptable.

Maria Redekker | Delta Green

[nondeclared]

..hmm. A bit on-the-nose, but I doubt the CIA would complain about using terminology.

Karla | Fire Emblem

[swordprincess]

Well, that is what people call me...

Liora | Flight Rising

[liorafae]

...It's just my name with my dragon breed. Nothing wrong with that at all...

Sleeping Beauty | SinoAlice

[ibarahime]

Mm... isn't that just my name? Seems... [yawns] ... kind of simple. But at least it's not too long and tiring to say.

[Keeping things short is definitely preferable when possible.]

[dead_people_tea]

[Stares at his name for quite a while before he smiles.]

Ah, I see what you did there. That's just great.

Ethan || OC

[hollowfanged]

They're...really not. I'm not a damned snake, thanks.

[halfofit]

You don't use your fangs to suck blood and/or inject poison then?

benedict dearborn — original (academic, exorcist) — ota

[fumitory]

Ah, it's not very exciting — fumitory is an herb used for dispelling negative energies, purification, and protection. The name is from the Latin fumus terrae, "smoke of the earth," believed to have a particular link to the underworld in some disciplines of study. I use it regularly in herb burnings and incenses.

In a more real-world application, as a medicinal tonic, it supports the functions of visceral systems, which is interesting; bodily organs that purify the blood, and all that.

...I just made that extra-dull, didn't I. ( rhetorical. it's interesting to him, he who is usually a party of one in these instances. )

[esmeral]

...actually, I thought it was rather interesting.

jaina solo | star wars

[yunharla]

Yun Harla. [ she smirks. ]

Ah yes, the Yuuzhan Vong's trickster goddess. I did convince them that's who was. Still proud of that.

Lady Loki | MCU

[frost_sorceress]

Well it's not wrong but I'm assuming the character limit wouldn't allow for all of my Godly monikers or powers to be listed.
