Everyone gets excited whenever I board a ship

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 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.

I have many thoughts

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

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.

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

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."

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.

Wanted to be crass and nerdy, simultaneously.

I thought it was funny

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

My username? Cuz I've had it since like 2003 or so, possibly even earlier. I'm a simple man, I like consistency.
