[BarryW]

Thanks for the detailed story about your experiences.

At the time I was doing the course I guess I wasn't totally over what happened

I hope that you are closer to being over those things that happened, if it's possible to be over it.

I mean... the person supposed to help you has a mental breakdown, what do you think?

In a way it gives them more credibility for this topic, but I can understand if someone feels like it's the blind leading the blind.

I read his book and got something meaningful out of a couple of the chapters. A friend sent me the authoring tools but I didn't get too far into it. I tried but became very very angry when I was working on it and ended up essentially yelling at the tool itself in my writing which felt counterproductive. All answers were rants or otherwise very negative in some other way. It would be interesting to take a look at it again this year and see how I feel about it. I don't want to derail the avatar thread too badly so feel free to message me if you want to talk about it more. Take care.

Shortened version of a longer handle I had back in the day.

 

[hope16]

As ever I am very late to the party. When I first joined this forum in September 2016, I was newly heartbroken, and could not see a future. Hope was all that I had, hence my username. I only posted once than I moved away and forgot about this site. I am back on after being away for 4 years, and sadly I feel much more hopeless than hopeful. But I hope that changes.

Welcome back! I hope you can feel better soon and that all of us here can be helpful to you.

 

[CollidesWithMe]

My intuition gave me this name. It is, I think, still a story to unfold why this name. At least for me now

And the rain will kill us all, we throw ourselves against the wall. But no one else can see, the preservation of the martyr in me

 

[airplainjane]

[Ineluki]

Ineluki, in a series of books called "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn" by Tad Williams, belonged to an elf like species called the Sithi. He grows angry and embittered when humans invade his kingdom and take it for themselves. He eventually becomes known as "The Storm King," and does any number of horrible, vengeful things that even his own people find reprehensible. No matter how much of a villain he becomes, humans had wronged him and his nation at the start, so somewhere deep inside is still a person trying to right a wrong.

When I arrived here, I was not proud of some of the things I had done irl, and so I decided to use Ineluki as a screen name. I never amassed vengeful armies or laid waste to an area using weather magic (for the record) but I definitely looked at the villain in one of my favorite series in a new way.

Many of you call me by the diminutive "Luki," which I still find both hilarious and very sweet. People still ask me to explain it on occasion, and I can't believe I never posted here before now to let you all know where the name originated. I searched this whole thread, tho, and couldn't find where I had done it before. So, now, at long last, you all know.

It's just a word play from my old nickname some people called me a long time ago.

 

[dormaisnorma]

My name is the name of an ancient demon, that was summoned to me back when I was chilling on S. D. 50x like a year ago.
Day of ressurection: so it happened on a foggy but clear day mid may during 2020,I was so depressed I had to visit my friend "herb" and as I was lying I respatialized myself in my room over trillion trillion trillion times, waking up lying down waking up lying down (working days post effect)
Day of endevourment: so basically second day (actually on the same day, but as I time traveled i went back into that day and re-lived it basically so it's 2nd)
the demons black tails were on the wall behind me, that as i looked on my hand I've seen the transmutated reality and I became one with the panorama of this world in demonic dimension, then it ended and slowly i regained access to this demon's name, and slowly it told me in a coded language that I need to wait, so I waited , and I heard about the great conjunction, before I never heard, so all puzzled perfectly, now i realized mistakes, everything, so i realized my destiny is to be wearer of the name of the dorma : the lord of the black hole demons : the keeper of the endless chill.

My initials were hmkns and one of my closest friends would pronounce it hamkins.

 

[Ashmash]

Back on October 21st 2011 the world was supposed to end. I was 11 at the time and couldn't care less about a supposed doomsday (I still don't lol). I decided to spend the entire day playing on Habbo Hotel with my best friend and we went deep diving with the search tool for obscure rooms until we found this little room with a group of players talking about the end of the world. One of the players was named "Ashmash" and she seemed so cool and funny so we ended up talking for hours. After that conversation I started using the username Ashmash on other sites because I liked the username and I associated it with a really cool person.

 

[MomToTJ]

So we have an avatar section for this kind of thing. Really this is more to satisfy my own curiosity. But what inspired you to choose your username?

I'll start. Mine is simple, it's the first half of my first name

Mine is Mom to TJ, my son who ended his life in 2015.

So sorry for your loss.

 

[Undefined_]

Mine is a computer term, it means that something doesn't have meaning ( like you didn't define some values). I don't think my life is meaningful or my existence is purposeful. Also, it reminds me no one can define me.

 

[JustLewis]

Lewis was taken and didn't feel like sharing my last name 🤷‍♂️😅

 

[DaltonisTired]

Dalton is a pseudonym and I'm tired.

 

[WhereTheRiverGoes]

Where The River Goes is a song by Stone Temple Pilots that I’ve liked since I was a teenager back in the ‘90s.

That whole album was amazing. That was always one of my favorites, too

I would have never noticed this til I just read this. You really ARE a Slipknot nerd! 😁
