How did you come up with your username? Why did you choose it?

[memento]

i've always liked when usernames are just a single real word, it's probably something i can trace back to my neopets days (i'm not on neopets much anymore, are "VWN" pets still valuable?) and i'm a big fan of spelling everything all lowercase as well lol. i picked memento because memory has been a major theme in my life lately. big life events are happening to me and it's been making the strangest memories come back, i've been remembering people and places and events that are seemingly unrelated to anything in my present life. i'm really fascinated by this, it's like an entire section of my brain was asleep and now is waking up for some reason. i want to make art about memory and making my username memento, funnily, also serves as a reminder to myself to do that

[dwinterwolf]

When your fursona's name and anonymous online identity happens to be such a lengthy Animal Jam-esque name as December Winterwolf, you have to take a few tries to figure something out you want. My first Winterwolf-related username was DecemberWinter5 on Twitter (back when it was still Twitter): December + Winter(wolf) + (200)5. I later changed it to December_W_Wolf to make it more snazzy, and that's what I used for most socials for a few years (Pokemon Go didn't allow underscores, so I settled for DecWinterwolf, and Roblox only allowed one underscore, so I went for December_Winterwolf). I later decided that I wanted a username that worked well with all types of websites and services, so I took DecWinterwolf, tweaked it a bit, and now I use either DWinterwolf, D_Winterwolf (Roblox only IIRC), or dwinterwolf wherever I go! Well, sometimes I use PupCadets as well, as that was my last pre-December username and I think it's top-class, even if I'm not into PAW Patrol anymore (the Pup Cadets are an English branch of the PAW Patrol I created in the summer of 2019 as a young fledgeling, basically OC brain-vomit).
