Violet (my birth flower) + 08 (my birth year). Pretty basic.
Wanted to create a 5th character in a game to test something and ran out of variations of my normal username 15 years ago. Test worked out, it became my main and now we’re here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’re seventeen/eighteen years old??
18😎
idk I’m just a toast in ukrainian
From Jules Verne’s posthumously published work, “Paris in the 20th Century”
“Ah!’ said Michel, tempted, ‘you have modern poems?’ 'Of course. For instance, Martillac’s ‘Electric Harmonies,’ which won a prize last year from the Academic of Sciences, and Monsieur de Pulfasse’s ‘Meditations on Oxygen;’ and we have the ‘Poetic Parallelogram,’ and even the 'Decarbonated Odes. . ’
As a scientist with a deep love of the humanities, I found Verne’s view that science would ruin literature and poesy quite humorous. Especially since in reality it has just neglected it.
Mine is from a GameCube era videogame that if anyone asks and I answer have no idea what I am talking about.
Long story short I got frustrated trying to think an username and typed angrily “ei ole” in Finnish (means it isn’t) and then it hit me.
I liked Shakespeare and Serious Sam

I was told by everyone I knew growing up and even now that I was weird, a freak, different. So I just kinda went with it.
To be fair to all of them they’re completely correct it just took me awhile to see why. I have to constantly remind myself that I don’t think like most people or act like most people to the point it’s instantly obvious to pretty much everyone around me
I’m an Ashkenazi cephalopod.
Random keyboard mash. I think it turned out alright.
When I was something like 8-12 years old I was watching Toonami and Cartoon Network. At that time shows like Tenchi Muyo and YuYu Hakusho, despite being very different, took up the same headspace to little kid me. When I needed to come up with a username for the first time ever it was on a now-extinct Game Shark forum and it was as uninspiring as a kid would likely make, something like user123 or whatever.
The second username I ever made, and I don’t remember what website it was originally for, I wanted to use the name of a character from one of the shows I was watching. I transcribed the name like how I thought it would be spelled. The character’s actual name would now be spelled kione from Tenchi Muyo. The character I thought I had come up with the name for, though, was someone with red hair, but whom I thought was a demon in the show. I’m not certain anymore, since this is over 15 years ago, but the character I was trying to name was either Kurama from YuYu Hakusho who is a demon, or Washu Hakubi from Tenchi Muyo who isn’t a demon because that’s not a thing in Tenchi Muyo, but I think I just conflated the characters into one. Doesn’t matter, since I got the name wrong either way.
t;dr dumb little kid me conflated red-haired anime mad scientist with red-haired anime demon, and the name from a third anime character. I spelled “kione” as “kionay” phonetically. poorly. been using it ever since.
Many many years ago I was in high school and just hoped on the maplestory train. Of course I was a complete newb and didn’t realize you could screw up your character.
This was back when you had to roll a virtual dice to determine your starting stats. This was also back when you can screw up your character if you over level the character before getting a job because you only earn skill point after you get the job.
I ended up having to remake my account like 5 times due to some combination of:
- Unoptimal starting stats for what class I wanted.
- Missing the job advancement by a level.
- Unoptimal skill point spending.
By the time I was about to create the character I would end up playing on for 3 years, I couldn’t be arsed to think of a good name. So yeah…
I remember finding out WAY too late into Maplestory that you have to basically know how to distribute stats from the get-go, because there was no going back. when you hit level milestones the game expects you to have a near-perfect stat distribution to buy level-appropriate gear, and when the game is as grindy as oldschool Maplestory every level you had to spend past that milestone adjusting for the imperfect stats was a SLOG. I think the first 5 levels after every milestone my first character spent with the previous milestone’s equipment because i was just too stubborn to make a new character and start over
I like the anonymity this community offers and to laugh, hence Someonelol.
It’s my favorite opening move in Wordle like games. Screw you vowel lovers with your AUDIOs and OUTIEs.
