I needed a MUD username in college and smashed together two of my favorite book characters (who also happened to be queer): Tylendel and Vanyel It's been my online name since them.

Explain your @ Krystara Stormcaller was my very first character in EverQuest. Half-elf druid from Surefall Glades. She still shows up in a lot of my games along with Lysari from EQ2.

Krystara⁷

Explain your @ It's a lyric I love from Silverstein's burn it down ft caleb shomo! "You got me lookin' for a kerosene cure" plus the addition of a c to make it scene like the music scene. I am a dork

Ocean 34

Explain your @ It's a combo of an older username plus jellybean because jellybean is my go to word for "something needs a name". I wish I had a cooler explanation but I'm horribly boring.

Ash⁷

Explain your @ (I've probably done this before) It's because of most of this bunch. I'm pretty sure at this point every Robin has died at least once. And yet they all come back again. You can't keep a good sidekick down. (Dick Grayson is my #1 blorbo. Closely followed by Jason Todd.)

Explain your @ It's part of a quote from Fool's Errand by Robin Hobb and very fitting for me in terms of flitting from one obsession to the next 😂 (I have long-standing obsessions and obsessions that reactivate occasionally... I sure love the now of my life 🙂‍↕️)

explain your @ I love snorlax and my neighbour totoro… that’s it 💀

sophie 💕🌷

Explain your @ memecchi was taken

Explain your @ Two ways: (1) Ivy is a possible (but never used) nickname of my real name and (2) The house I grew up in was partially covered in wine and ivy. I got an ivy-themed tattoo on my chest when I was 30 to "keep home in my heart" if that makes sense? Still a weird handle but idc.

Ivy 🎮 CrossCode 🖤🤍💜

Explain your @ Got it from the random name generator in World of Warcraft when I was playing in the mid-Oughts (2000's). Eventually started using it for everything.

ᵐᵃᵗᵗ

Explain your @ Like girly pop, but I'm a bit of a gremlin

Emily ✿

Explain your @ Am a potato who is sad. I would have gone for clinically depressed potato, but it doesn't have the same ring to it...

Tato

explain your @ am demon that goes beep ! 🐛✨💥

eden ˚꩜｡

Explain your @ It's an anagram of my name (Sam George -> Games Ogre)

Sawwy

Explain your @ When I was brainstorming names for my old gaming blog, I wanted something unique to me. I also love puns. So I used part of my last name for "The Brink of Gaming" and the rest is history! Crediting @silariagames.bsky.social and her chat for formally making BRINK my online name lol

Explain your @ Its one of my last names I created on AIM lmao and alot of friends called me stevo so yah

Steve 🔥🗡💀

Explain your @ There's an animal, ironically called 'elk' and because I'm edgy, I added a z to the end. 🤯

Matt // elkz 🕹️

Explain your @ It's honestly as simple as.. I watched Game of Thrones and i thought the word Valyrian sounded sick and it rolled off the tongue so easily so i stole it.

Explain your @ Kafka was one of my favorite characters in Honkai: Star Rail, a gacha game I was playing. I dropped the game a year ago, but don't wanna drop the name. It's short, and I'm simply used to it.

Brink 🎮

Explain your @ Well... it all started with this white-haired guy named Geralt of Rivia... [insert essay about why I love The Witcher] In all seriousness, I've used CarlOfRivia for my socials since 2018 or 2019. Can't say exactly when. It's just a part of me now and it'll stay that way 😌

Carl of Rivia 🎮

Explain your @ "Rik" comes from the first name of a very old character I made in addition to an alt-history universe, whose name was based on my actual name which is "Rich" (not wealthy), and "Dipshit Actual" is just my unrelated and goofy callsign, kinda like "Tango Actual" for example, but yeah

Rik | Dipshit Actual

Explain your @ The name, "Skygirl" is a very high-flying, rebellious, and rather impulsive name, originating from Anakin's last name, Skywalker. Tano comes from, you guessed it, Ahsoka Tano, which is pretty self-explanatory. The name, Fett, comes from three characters: Omega, Boba, and Jango Fett.

Snips Tano (D.Va Days/Fortnite/Mandalorian & Grogu Era) 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

explain your @ I'm a trans girl and one of my favorite movies is High Fidelity. It's a very unclever pun. Lol

Nat Is TRYING to write 1 screenplay 🇵🇷🏳‍⚧

explain your @ Zoe is my name, and I seized the opportunity to drop the "Blank" because plain old Zoe was available on Northsky. B2EMO is a sad droid from Andor, and it just fit. I have long used Linda Cardellini (usually from Freaks & Geeks) as an avi. I just added emo hair.

ZoE2EMO 🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️

explain your @ Vio is my name, and multiple accounts means I gotta think of variations. Armitage is my surname, I'm a Vixen in that I'm flirty (slutty) and Viper because I'm poisonous and deadly to the wrong type of people. I did have a different name (Zeph) but times they are a changing.

Vio the Viper

explain your @ Nighthawk Superstar is a play on words, Nightshift Superstar is a song by Muse. Nighthawk because I like birds. socialistpuffin because I am a socialist-as in Marxist, not social democrat- and I think puffins are neat.

Nighthawk Superstar 𓅣🌏🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️☭

explain your @ Shelley is my name. B Woke means what it says. HierophantXX because I'm an X gender gen X "One who explains or makes a commentary." Living Saint of Purity is partly a moniker given to me by another user and partly my ascension to purity princess bitch. 🧚

explain your @ it’s from my favorite novel! walkaway by cory doctorow. a character names herself “stable strategies” for a chapter (this is not a weird name in the context of the book)

stable strategies

Explain your @ Once upon a time when I was a circus performer, I billed myself as "The Man From Planet X" More recently, I named the first canon gay club in Metropolis "Planet X," so I'm very fond of it.
