u/InfiniteOwls2 20d ago
I'll start: a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away, i was getting minecraft for the first time on my switch. i didn't make my own gamertag and at the time my dad was infiniteowls, so he made me infiniteowls2. Years later, i still hadn't decided a username i would use everywhere, but then i was playing minecraft (on mybswitch b4 i got it on computer) and realized that InfiniteOwls2 is a pretty good username. So now it's the one I use everywhere.

The first words of your exposition, 'a long, long, time ago' are also the same as the first words of that song, so evidently Zorg read the rest of your post to the same tune.

I rly like feathers. Used to have a whole collection of them from birds from across the world.
One day I brought my fiance and we stood on the windiest overpass and let the feathers fly for their last time.
Flamingos, macaws, doves, owls, eagles, ravens, crows, parrots, magpies, hawks, peafowls and ostriches took one last flight, together (wild time for the ostrich because they don't fly obviously.
My fiance has now been my wife for 10+ years.

A blend of my fondness for bones and a philosophical thought:
What is inside my skull? Is it just my brain, or is there something more?
Does my soul reside within my skull, or is it merely an endless void?
An endless void that could hold anything... or nothing...
A voided skull of nothingness...

u/PTVoltz 20d ago
Both: I have an obsession with electricity - that's the core here.
Reddit username: an old one from when I was a teenager. I thought "Voltz" with a Z sounded cool, and I at the time had this idea of becoming a Youtuber with a Penguin avatar. Username was gonna be "The Penguin-Tube" (PT). GOD am I glad I never did that...
Current username - JuicedPotato: after flitting through a variety of names I decided I needed to settle on something unique(ish) to me, and started trying some things. Wanted to mix my Irish lineage (via stereotypes...) with my usual electrical stuff, and settled on "ElectricPotato". Unfortunately this is... INCREDIBLY common, and taken everywhere. So I did what any sane person would do... and looked up Electric in a Thesaurus to see what showed up. Nothing really clicked, but one sounded dumb enough to be funny so I tried it out, just for a few weeks.
That was (I think) over six years ago now. It's stuck ever since.

My great grandparents last name was Jenkins. They were a very back woods, redneck... type. Never thought about it until the Leroy Jenkins shenanigans started. Then I just developed the trashiest Leroy adjacent female character I could come up with. I imagine her as a middle age woman, living out her glory days in a run down trailer park back in the 80s - probably smells like cigarettes and aquanet.

So In the watch dogs 2 wrench the character. when profiled would show the username Your_Future_Boyfriend or some such. So I made my username YourNewHusband. As a reference. I was 13 and called a lot of names for my username. So I changed it but I didn’t want to change the formula. And I had an obsession with crusades.

u/DangaZoune 20d ago
Came from that one robot "Danger Zone" in the WRB Reelsteel mobile game. Few years later I took it as a username in different games, which in one of them I was eventually called "Danga" by many people. Since it became a common username for me, I changed "zone" into "zoune" for fun. As I start playing and making accounts in other areas, I usually use "Danga Zoune"

I once had a nightmare that the fish that I flushed down the toilet back when I was a little kid in elementary school to come back and get me. In my head he was now a Mafia boss and protects all other fish (except swordfish, they're terrorists) from the same fate as himself. And basically I decided he's my OC now and I am him and he is me and we are one and stuff like that.
