It's a futurama reference. Meant to be anonymous but ended up getting lucky with a lightsaber gig and am now stuck with the name lol. Only unfortunate part is I wish I'd known which account was going to get lucky lol

It's from a book I like.

It started off on Discord as a joke I no longer remember the context of, and was originally just "PopeJoeI (as in Pope Joe the First)" , and then spread to other areas, like the site formerly known as Twitter.

Then Discord added the crowns to admins and it then became "PopeKingJoe" and that's that.

Old internet nickname, back in the MSN Messenger days.

Would be a very long comment but it's a reference Black Kettle's betrayal and murder by General Custer.

I love Dorohedoro, and Aikawa happens to be one of the manga's kindest and least prone to violence characters, despite being very capable in the domain. The turned k comes from my thoughts flitting from the character's nature to the Portuguese velar (to watch, conceal, vigil), and finally to back-released velar clicks...

I have many thoughts

I combined my dog's names (Kona and Loki) but fucked it up the first time I ever used it as a username. It was supposed to be "Kolonaki" taking the first two letters of Kona and the first two of Loki then alternating in the second half of both. KoLoNaKi. But I accidentally entered "KolAnaki" and just ran with it.

I liked it so much, I made it my fursona's name since before that name was just "Raccoon."

It’s a thought

I couldn't come up with shit so I put a random word through a cipher and switched a few letters around

I was in a little cafe in Taiwan and that's what we ordered.

I'm a fan of BNA's tanuki main character Michiru, and Summer Tanuki's storyline, and how Tom Nook's name is pun with Tanuki and...

The stars just aligned for me, I swear.

Honestly, Halo 3

Akuma is a boss. Been my favorite all through my childhood.

It just seemed fitting.

My preferred username was already taken a long time ago. This was meant to be a temporary replacement, but now this is my preferred username.

Nakari has "existed" since I was a teenager. Started off as a character I used in writing as an outlet, but slowly the name also became a handle for me. Hell, I guess an entire "presence" since it's my go-to for most sites.

Lexfortaine came around because I wanted something vaguely "proper" sounded in a D&D game, and I never actually got around to giving the character Nakari a "canon" last name. It worked well enough for an asspull, and has just been tracked on ever since. Grown to like it, actually. Feels more like a proper name.

I thought it was funny

I guess I’m a sucker for puns.

Nyan Cat, but different

Because it's a pejorative term for a loud-mouthed know-it-all bloviating idiot and I like to keep myself humble and try not to take myself too seriously.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Years ago, when I was around 13-14, I wanted a "cool" sounding username, since I was also sick of coming up with usernames for websites. I did some thinking, and came up with "Mr.Champion". Used it ever since.
