olesia is incapable of interesting subject titles
So hey guys! Perhaps it's just because I'm up to my eyeballs in bleach fumes right now, or my cup runneth over with excitement over these nearly-thirty reserves for this impending application round (you guys every name on this list is beautiful), but I can't write tags to save my life and am instead going to harass you guys. I have no regrets!
Instead of anything useful, here is a question for you:
if your character were in charge of what username you used for their journal, what would they pick, and why?
How would they react to the one they currently have?
Alternately: if there are any other journal names you wished you'd used instead, what are they? And feel free to suggest horrible renames to everyone else.
Why no I'm not using this as a launching board for renaming one of my character accounts, not in the slightest
(I am terrible at lying)

YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T WANT EITHER ONE, but if you did, I would be happy to delete them for a rename or just give 'em to you.
no subject
though now I am curious as to the story behind each of those names :3

I was going to take her from sometime around mid-game, since I was like FFFFFFFFFFFFF SCREW THIS SHIT and couldn't navigate Kefka's Tower (therefore have never beat the game because I kept getting lost like I do with RL directions) and they were sort of inspired by ~trying to find out who she was and feelings etcetcetcetec and stuff~
Also, I'm uncreative and could never come up with a delightful username like yours.
no subject
Haha, I took mine from mid-game too (just a couple gameplay hours shy of the End Of Balance, naturally), and Kefka's Tower is FRIGGEN CONFUSING i hate it.
and pffffff that was just my "shit i don't even care this application won't get accepted straight-off anyway i have plenty of time to think of something better. Oh wait. 8(" name. HILARIOUSLY I NEVER ACTUALLY LIKED IT, WHOOPS.
no subject
Not that the second half of the game is full of suck or anything. I just think it's more interesting to explore what we didn't get to see. MAN IT WAS EVEN WORSE ON THE GBA VERSION, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON'T USE IT ON A DS. I almost did it once on the SNES version but I died and then I never figured it out again.
R-REALLY? I like it. :(
no subject
And oh no I love the second half of the game, too. It just made more sense for the character to play her from a place before she finishes her character arc, and pulling her from the Orphan Village would have been really awkward. Which left world of balance... haha I probably spent too much time trying to pinpoint the exact perfect place to drag her around from. And baw 8(. I have the GBA port that I could play on the DS, but I totally just have it so I can play the Woolsey version without feeling guilty. because i love the stupid translations of everything.
I would probably like it more if I actually had her go esper all that often, but alas I am pretty sure she's transformed all of... twice? in game. Three times by the end of this dreamfighto arc.
So instead I am looking for pretentious names where I can substitute ultima with atma because woolsey's a hilarious dumbass that can't stay consistent to save his life
no subject
Man, IV, V, and VI have had such radically different translations -- especially V, in terms of speech patterns. I think that's part of the reason you don't really see characters from that game (also there weren't as many characters).
Maybe you should do it more and see if it happens, then!
There is nothing wrong with that. Lmao, it's been a while, but I still laugh at the WHY HER NAME IS TERRA INSTEAD OF TINA but I don't complain much because I like the name Terra better than Tina.
no subject
MAYBE. but she's developing issues because people keep trying to kill her when she does 8( dammit keith
I ALSO PREFER TERRA. Ted was actually pretty smart on that one! He picked that name more on intent than the literal word, which helped better convey the character traits they wanted. Same with the green hair. You guuuuuuys
And just like I prefer Sabin to friggen MASH, because honestly who names a friggen prince mash, honestly.
no subject
Yeah there... is that. Since that's the reason she does change. :/ It's only natural for her to associate it with keelan.
Nnn, at the same time it's still sort of obnoxious that they changed it just for those reasons, too? Like lmao Edge and Edward and IV. It's like they couldn't think of a better name for Edward and were just WELL HERE'S A PERFECTLY GOOD NAME NOT BEING USED.........
But that I will always give thumbs up to. I love early 90s and 80s fantasy names (video games or otherwise) just because they're all so redonkulous.
