[livejournal.com profile] soldarius is Medieval Latin meaning soldier because I am unoriginal like that. My old one used to be [livejournal.com profile] assombris, which is French for "to darken".

[livejournal.com profile] invokings because when Gil calls for Raven he... invokes... it. I think he even said the word "invoke" once in canon but the translators tend to be inconsistent like WILL OF THE ABYSS to INTENTION OF THE ABYSS.

aaaaaaaaand possibly [livejournal.com profile] birdsinging because Clover makes a lot of references to cages, wings and birds. She befriends Suu, who is pretty much a caged bird for the longest time and Oruha is a singer.

No, I am not original.

[livejournal.com profile] girlyboywonder! MAN, THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE GIRLIEST BOY WONDER YET... OH WAIT. >:T Everyone in canon except for Bruce and Alfred mistook her for a boy, but they had to think she was a pretty girly one.

[livejournal.com profile] fantasycliche! To me, there is nothing more representative of fantasy cliches than color-coded dragons. There's a few other typical fantasy cliches to her as well, so. yes. :| I had this whole list of potentials, all dramatic and dark-sounding and stuff, then I was like FUCK IT IT'LL GO WITH THE ONE THAT MOCKS HER.

[livejournal.com profile] boltalicious! speaking of mocking characters. This guy is so dignified and stoic that I could pretty much never give him a nice username. Ever. This one is nothing but exactly what it sounds like.

Most of mine are pretty straightforward but--

[livejournal.com profile] osreborn: I like all my Osborn journals having puns off of "Osborn" (and they all do heh) and in Norman's case, he was famously killed off and came back after a million RL years during the famously fabulous (lol) 90s. Also he remakes himself constantly after defeat because he's super adaptable, so it works there too?

[livejournal.com profile] acrossyourpath: My one non-pun username but I still like it. Uh, Black Cat, crossing paths, etc. it's pretty clear.

[livejournal.com profile] electrouble: Also pretty clear because DAT BOY IS TROUBLE. I don't really like this one but eh. I couldn't think of anything else that wasn't taken.

[livejournal.com profile] indentcision: As we know, Harvey/Two-Face's dilemma/shtick (well, one of them, but the biggest one) is the inability to decide things for himself and thus he needs a coin to make his decisions for him. And his name is Harvey Dent... thus there you go. I guess I like name puns idk.

[livejournal.com profile] couldbeavoided: Bob has Avoidant Personality Disorder, and also has another personality called "the Void," and though the Avengers always assume avoiding the subject will make it go away it never does! Not to mention Bob's own thinking patterns (and his history of addictions) that compound the problem. So it all could be aVOIIIIIIIDDDDDDDed but it isn't and shit sucks.

[livejournal.com profile] acahellyeah: Andy loves acapella and is a friendly enthusiastic annoying-as-fuck kind of guy. Thus, aca + hellyeah! I mean, I'm sure if he used tumblr he would be the guy who owns the hellyeahacapella blog or something. (Does it exist? I'm not looking.)

[livejournal.com profile] sweatquius: Originally "sagitowels", which I still kind of like but I got tired of because there are a million sagi[blank] Equius journals out there so I swapped for this one. It's something Nepeta called him once!

[livejournal.com profile] superbology: From herbology so I needed something with that "b" sound. Superb! The end.

[livejournal.com profile] emperorshand -- Mara was the Emperor's assassin in Star Wars, and this name was pretty much playing...on that. It's so obvious. I also love this name and I've had it for too long.

[livejournal.com profile] deus_ex_100 -- SO HIPSTER. God in 100. Series is called Ex machina. Another one that I would love to change, but I am terrible at usernames for the most part!

[personal profile] lyntergalactic 2011-09-24 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[livejournal.com profile] supertorso was a nickname scans_daily people had for her back when she was being terribly written. It comes from the fact that both Michael Turner and Ian Churchill (her first two artists) drew her as more torso than anything else.

[livejournal.com profile] vettecrasher is because of the scene with bb!Kirk where he drives a 1965 Corvette Stingray off a cliff. No, I don't know why there's cliffs/canyons/rock quarries that steep in Iowa, much less in Riverside. Just roll with it. Also, I've been contemplating a name change, but idk what to.

[livejournal.com profile] asserting is because Gwen is nothing if not assertive. She rarely gives any fucks about letting whatever's on her mind out and takes no shit from anyone.

[livejournal.com profile] pilotais is a hideous, pretentiously hipster username. According to my French-English dictionary it's the... first-person singular imperfect indicative of piloter meaning "to pilot." If I'm right about conjugations and all that, it should mean, "I piloted/I flew." BUT I DO NOT SPEAK FRENCH SO I COULD BE WRONG. It was a throw-away username until I could get a rename token (which I'm doing tomorrow) and didn't expect to have to wait this long.

Carol's username is going to be, fingers crossed it's stil free tomorrow, bests because her life as been a series of having to prove herself the best at something, and then having to realize that it's not about being the best at everything, but being the best Carol she can be.

Matsuka: [livejournal.com profile] loveyourenemy. It's both a Biblical allusion ("love your enemy as you love yourself") and a reference to the fact that Keith is the enemy of all Mu and spends half of their canon swearing up and down he's going to kill Matsuka one of these days, and Matsuka loves him anyway, with surprisingly positive end results. Who knew?

Squall: [livejournal.com profile] liondormant. A heraldry term, French for "sleeping lion," an obvious reference to Squall's omnipresent lion motif. "Sleeping Lion Heart" is a phrase associated with Squall (among other things, engraved on the back of the official Griever pendant), presumably referring to the fact that his heroic better nature is kind of buried under a mountain of emotional issues and interpersonal hangups.

[livejournal.com profile] swwag is one of the million Eridan journals that depend on his quirk, hurf. The joke is that he has no swag.

His old one was [livejournal.com profile] swwag because he forever has a bone bulge for famous conquerors and shit (and loves them), and also loves others in a way that might... be Caligula-ish I guess... also there's a song about it. Caligulove was taken. For some reason, caligulovve did not occur to me!

Runners up were [livejournal.com profile] swwag and [livejournal.com profile] swwag.

[livejournal.com profile] enochiass is because she deals with angels and speaks/understands Enochian, and also because the entire game is one long moment of dat ass.

Runners up were [livejournal.com profile] enochiass (I would have gone with that had I not screwed up the icon trick!) and [livejournal.com profile] enochiass (same reason as before and also it's a filthy hipsterish username) and, if I wanted to transfer all her keywords and shit over to another journal (I do not), I would probably go with [livejournal.com profile] enochiass. Because she kills a lot of angels.

Annnnd [livejournal.com profile] assistotle is because I was like SARA I CAN'T THINK OF ANY CLEVER PUNS HELP. Because he has a thing for Aristotle, see. Also, he's an asshole.

Runners up were [livejournal.com profile] assistotle, [livejournal.com profile] assistotle, and the one I almost went with anyway, [livejournal.com profile] assistotle. Sara is the best at clever punny usernames.

I only have one, so.

[livejournal.com profile] kingofrooks wasn't actually made for him (that's why it's over a year older than the muse), but it fits Bruce. When translated to chess terms, all of his Robins and Batgirls are Rook-pieces, and Bruce is the Queen-piece. But 'queenofrooks' does not call up a guy, so I swap it for the King. He is also suitable as a King-piece since he's the one all of them circle around anyway.

Oh, Jason is a knight-piece in my head, but he doesn't really count at this point. >_>

"Ridi, arlecchino" is Italian for "Laugh, harlequin". It's a play on "Ridi, pagliaccio" ("Laugh, clown") which is a line from the opera Pagliacci. Incidentally, Harley isn't a fan of the opera. (She crashed it and robbed the theater during Hush.) She'd like it even less if she ever knew the ending, considering the distraught clown Pagliacci ends up killing his wife and her lover.

It does get referenced in one of her favorites movies however. From Singin' in the Rain, right before the song "Make 'Em Laugh":

Cosmo: The show must go on! So ridi, Pagliacci! Ridi!

Don: Ridi, huh?
