I think the title speaks for itself. I always like hearing where people got their username from, and so what better way to learn than making a post about it?

a few years ago i put "duck buster" in a bio at random and it evolved into a fake profession of mine. i am a duck buster, i babysit ducks and it's called busting them. i take pride in my work. i bust ducks.

the epilogues are the best part of homestuck

For my main account rosebot, I signed up ASAP on day 1 to claim an official name™️.

As for this one, well, you can guess. lol

Kanya hears "ERROR LOGGED OUT" & looks at Rose who just SAYS "NO 'FORGOT PASSWORD' OPTION" while frowning.

In the fields of my dreams I came across a little mystical dwarf, he was mending something with his bare hands, in a funny fashion, he was mocking me the whole time, calling me weak, unfulfilled and overall not a very good tea drinker, I was very very very very very very upset at this, and I told him
"You gotta just stop dude, alright, I cant help me being stupid, but the tea drinking bit, nah, nah, dude, not happening. Nope"
You see I said that in the heat of the moment, and I apologize for how crass and rude that was but I couldn't help myself. I really couldnt, and so, I apologized to him, I said to him
"Listen that was really really rude of me to do that"
He said it was "alright" Really. I couldnt believe it myself, so anyways he was mending me a goddamn, thingy, he put it in my chest, flew up in the air and gave me that name, he then put me back into bed. So yeah, it's what you see beside me.

wickedgoogly is my un for specifically homestuck endeavors. it comes from a conversation between rose and dave around the end of act 5, where they're on derse's moon talking about their suicide mission/joking about sports. it also appears at the very beginning of wizardy herbert, which i did not know until reading about half of it earlier this year!

When I was in like elementary school me and my friends decided to become the "Sloth Army" on Pokemon Go and change our usernames to that, but I was to only one who actually ended up doing it. From there it just kind of stuck.

I chose this username in this forum because I love Lyndis from Fire Emblem (yes, I'm calling her Lyndis, not Lyn)

Don't ask why Geno hates Jade Harley.

Nothing special. I run a weekly Sonic review series called Deep Dive Zone (alliterated Sonic level names are always better) and my name is Devin.


"mobianCruxtruder", therefore, is calling to both my shared brainworms.

I am a Lolita who loves Lolita fashion a lot, but I often use the term EGL (Elegant Gothic and Lolita) instead. So I just chose elegantSpinstress because it has elegant in it, and a "Spinstress" is someone who spins yarn or makes lace, lol. Also, it is an old-timey, mean word to call an unmarried woman. I always liked the women in books who were "Spinsters" or "Spinstresses" because they are very lesbian coded to me, which is also what I am.

equidistantLexicologist


taken separately, they each refer to my cartographic (my favorite map projection is the equidistant cylindrical projection -- epsg:4326 on qgis) and linguistic (i like to learn about languages for its own pleasure and to better improve my translation skills w/o necessarily learning to be fluent) interests respectively


and taken as a whole, it is a nod to the fact that the languages of the songs/texts i have translated cut across all the world's space, and maybe time too if we include ancient hebrew

My first username was confusedTerror, which came from a generator. I was super scared and confused at the time because of a lot of personal revelations and just how my life was at that time, so it stuck. After that I decided to go with umbralEvolution, which is honestly just a big Eevee/Penny reference because I like the both of those things a whole lot <3

okay, there is actually a really interesting story to this. so when i first came online back when i was 12, i went by the name "AnimeGamer." however, as time went on, i began to dislike that name, and so by the time i was midway through age 13, i was experimenting with other names. one i frequently used was "Sans Skelington [sic]," which i used for wikia (now fandom, also :blech:) and vine. as a side note (this will become important later on for obvious reasons), i would spend that summer reading the entirety of homestuck for the first time. then came reddit, where i went by "AnimetheTsundereCat," followed by tumblr with "darealtsunderecat." so at this stage, "tsundere cat" had become my alternate online identity, though i wouldn't fully adopt the chumhandle variant (tsundereCat [TC]) until around december of that year. though, i don't fully consider myself fully becoming "tsundereCat [TC]" until almost a full year later in november, when i revived my youtube channel using the name.


but now, in recent times, i am experimenting with a new name again, though this one would be for more professional work in the future. i'm thinking, "T.S. Neko."

i have usernames i use but i really really really wanted to use homestuck conventions for my username here. so has to start with GCAT, use some funky words, adjectiveNoun. i'm a rambler so i went with tediousGabbler, as in, i tediously gabble all the time :^) (i do like my ramblings however)
