That references the name of my programming language I first-learned in my entire life.

[-] _TK@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

TK is a journalism joke. In that field, placeholder headlines used to commonly be written in as "Headline TK" or "TKTKTK" etc. It comes from back when newspapers were typeset physically before set in lead to be sent to the printer. It is short for To Come. Many editing marks are misspelled on purpose to make them stand out from the final text. "TK" is an unusual pairing of letters, so it stands out.

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.

From an old clip that played on a radio station back home "Sittin' on the porch with my ol' lady, eatin' a ham-sammich"

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

I was really craving pancakes with maple syrup, but I was at home without pancake mix or syrup, and everything was closed because it was 3am.

[-] westyvw@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Because it said I had to?

Or is the question, WHY did I choose THIS username?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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."

Am arcane and slimy, was descriptive.

[-] mrchampion@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[-] spaceduck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's such a majestic creature.
