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.

(( might contain spoilers for current season ))

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

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.

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

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.

What's it mean anyway?

Dutch for "to finish".

Nah, you're totally a princess.

Oh shit, I just remembered I got somethin' here for you...just a second-

Princesses can be fucking cool. I mean, we've got, I dunno, Elsa or... Mulan? Shit, I don't fucking know. We need to kick some Disney ass now?

I'm not sayin' they can't be cool - I'm just sayin' I'm not one of 'em. Princesses and Queens and all that have to wait until they're eighteen to do shit, you think I've got time for that?

Besides, Mulan isn't a princess, technically speakin'. She is badass though.

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".
