Let me nickname your characters (promote your stories too)

[milejdyvan]

I read a friend's story just now and it reminded me how utterly terrible I am at remembering character names... I just--I don't know why, but I am a complete anti talent at names... This is why I always end up coming up with ridiculous nicknames for them. Heck, I read one of my good friend's story once and called her character Turkey, and even she (the author) started calling him that after a while (and no, I have no idea what his original name was ) another character from another friend's story, Emmett, once turned into Bucket, and now the story I read (some of you might be familiar with), Zian, the Mc, became Zyan because I mistook his name with the story title "Cyan". Ehh, yeah, my brain works weird lol.

So if you're fine with me generalizing your characters into ridiculous nicknames, just give me their names and a brief description. Pictures might help too if you have any.

Remember that this is just for fun so please don't take offense to my nicknames, plus, me nicknaming characters makes me feel a bond with them which usually prompts me to read the story, so I might check yours out too based on that. Feel free to promote, basically.

So that's it. Hit me with your characters!

This seems like a lot of fun!!

How much of details do you need? Do you mind if we attach our stories to post to promote?

Not at all! I mention actually that promoting is part of it! Plus, I might have to read at least one chapter to get a feel of the character, but a description directly from you would be much helpful too! If you don't help me by describing them at all, I might just ignore the request honestly. As for how much, just give me whatever you feel is necessary looks and personality would be most helpful.

Alrighty here you go! (Her comic isn't out btw so I have no promotion material )

Name: Danivere Wayslaende
Description: Danivere is a brash and hotheaded person, she doesn't back down for a fight.
Dani is determined to reclaim the royal power and status she once had and lost. And during her journey she learns to see the world through the eyes of everyone she interacts with.

Feel free to give her a funny nickname

[milejdyvan]

I'm just gonna go ahead with "Wasteland" for her just because I have absolutely no idea how to pronounce that surname. Plus, she "lost" her power so you could say she lives in a wasteland ... Okay, I shall walk myself out on my own... No need to boo me so hard

[milejdyvan]

Hey! Could you please help me out with a description of the characters? ️ It just makes it much easier and more fun for me to make a nickname for them that way.

[DualDragons]

Well, the surname is pretty much based on wasteland so you're right in that regard xD

[milejdyvan]

Oh gosh! I was not original at all but still, I can definitely see myself calling her Wasteland if I read your story so I'll stick to that lol.

OF BONES AND BLOOMS {novel}

OPHELIA, the Gardener
She has white hair and red eyes (she has albinism); and works for the Mafia as a cleaner/decomposer, because she has 'mushroom-plant' magic, and is able to makes things decay. She's quite feminine and quiet (for now) but she's growing into her own strength. She wants to be an actual gardener, instead of you know...hiding skeletons in people's gardens.

Her allies?

BACCUS MANCHESTER
Just your friendly neighborhood hook-up for drugs. Roguish. (Handsome, the Black Sheep of the Family, was supposed to be a Surgeon, but quit after his first surgery.) He is the Life of the Party. Sienna-brown hair, Brown eyes. As my best friend referred to him "Old-Timey Fuck Boi"

and his older brother:

MAVUS MANCHESTER
The 'Class President' type vibe. Moss green eyes. Brown-Blond hair. Pristine. Precise. Punctual. Legit, a great guy. Like, if anyone could be president of the world, you'd trust him to do it. Sunlight <-- as Ophelia sees him.

These two Manchester siblings are the older brothers to Johannes, who happens to be Ophelia's most prolific client.

Have fun! Let me know if you need any more!

[Carossmo]

Well, here are my two main characters ^^ go nuts thibking of nicknames for em

LnR | Tapas

[milejdyvan]

Ophelia: no way I'm going to type that correctly everytime I write a comment, so I'd just go with Olivia. She's a gardener after all, but now that I think about it, do you grow olives in gardens? Ehh, let's just assume they do. Also, I hate olives so that perfectly describes her... Job... For lack of a better word... Them damn Olivias hiding bodies in my gardens!!!! waves stick in the air

Baccus: Tobacco... No explanation needed in my opinion... 🤣🤣

Mavus: I'll just go with Mustache for this dude... I got that cuz when I read the name Mavus, it kind of sounds like the word "fúz" in my language which translates to Mustache. Plus, it has multiple letters from the word Manchester in it so close enough!

[blackorchid]

OMFG

That's amazing. Thanks for the chuckle!

[alextsarace]

A'right, go on, I doubt you can beat me at weird and silly nicknaming but still xD

OH I AM SORRY HAHAHA
Well then here we go;
Jan is an adult frog (in this wolrd frogs, when they find they're soulmate matures and take on a human form) with high temperament, impulsive and silly. Sleeps A LOT and it's almost impossible to wake up (unless we're talking about food, specifically matcha bubbles) Has an abnormal strength and his favourite thing in the world (a part from Dwight) is Mr. Bugs.
Dwight on the other hand is more serious and calmed, very fearful (freaks out with everything) and has quite the nerve when it comes to defend Jan but since Jan almost everytime beats up everyone he only sits and whatch. Gets very angry when Jan spends the day loitering, and feels a bit jealous of Mr. Bugs spending that much time with her.
Mr. Bugs: It's a little creature that came outta nowhere without name nor way of communicating. He mostly repeat Jan's acting.

Woof, what a bomb. I' m sorry if it overwhelmed you a bit hahaha, drawing feels lighter than writing it, but I hope you find it somehow entertaining

[TheGentleArtist]

Oooo, okay. I do have nicknames in mind for them, but I do like to see what nicknames other people would give them
