I'm trapped like a butterfly in their pupa, encased by the chrysalis. Waiting till it's my turn to finally fly

I was watching aria the natural at the time I joined the forum, and there's that weird big cat character that appears in a few episodes and I think he is cool and mysterious.

My username is from my favourite TV show of all time. Except it's only mentioned once in the entire show and I doubt any fans of this show will even recognise my username.

In the show she is briefly invoked as some sort of demon or evil goddess. The person invoking her asks her to "burn away the suffering souls and bring sweet death".

If any of this sounds familiar to you please let me know I'd love if someone recognised what show it's from and we could talk about it lol.

My grandfather flirted with my grandmother writing letters to her using the surname Ave of Spade. It always stuck with me and I believe the twist I put on it reflects the difference between him and me.

Practically though, it is a name I don't go by anywhere else and is non specific enough to directly track back to myself.

My username comes from sunshine but without the fun. Everyone needs the sun but not everyone gets shade. I like the thunderstorm scene in Parasite because it shows how different lives can be. The wealthy family sees rain as the end of their camping trip. For the poor family it flooded their semi-basement and ended their brief time they could live without worry.

Greetings,


explain your username or the story behind it if there is one.


I'll start, Sergeant is a reference to a nickname playfully given to me by my late best friend while playing online games with him. The 45 came from my first username I used on a browser game in 2012, it also ended in 45 and just stuck with me since.

Although I'll change mine to make myself more anonymous once my name change date becomes available in August. So if you see this thread while that's still my name...... you're in luck?


Your turn.


Regards
I have been using the same user name on multiple platforms for 25 years. This ain't it. When I found this site I had to come up with a user name with absolutely no personally identifiable information it. This user name just came to me in like two seconds. No interesting story behind it.

My username is just 3 random letters. It doesn't have a deep or profound meaning to it. I just wanted something short and memorable

Singing In The Rain was one of the first musicals I watched and is still one of my favourite movies. My username is the main character.

It's from a silly dramatic quote I made when I was bored one day:

Self-explanatory and cringes me out but it was the only thing I could come up with when I accidentally came across this forum trying to google how to partially hang or if my meds would kill me. I tried that night. I really thought it was my last night. Didnt know how hard this would be.. anyway it was all my brain damaged noodle could come up with. I wasn't even going to make an account
Was hoping to come up with a cooler name but suck at coming up with screen names. I feel like it's off-putting to other users even on this forum
I just thought of an old screen name I used on a different site. I noticed another user changed their name. That's possible? I might change it to something more punny.

To be or not to be? ....
...
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied over with a pale cast of thought
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose and name of action.

Last words of Hamlet's most famous soliloquy, essentially concluding that people live and suffer instead of killing themselves due to lack of gall and fear of what comes next. (I quoted from memory, recommend reading it in full)

I'm a big Hamlet fan rn. Also I think it's funny that my name is Name, and it's filled with action

There's no real story behind it, it's just a badly translated Chinese pun into English.

Holy shit. 311. None of my business but how old are you? Wham, okay. I get that. They were huge. 311… not so much. You must be "of a certain age" 😂 (I'm 50 so please know I'm not shitting on you if your older)
