Well, that's just the one the forums auto generated for me, likely from my e-mail. By the time I figured out how to change it on the forums, several people had already at-symbolled me under this name, so I decided it would be better to leave it and put Opal Tones as the name under it. My username on Tapas is still Opal Tones, if you click my username and click the link to my first comic, that will prove it.
I am moderately obsessed with coffee. I feel like I can't be productive without it. sometimes when the anxiety attacks and depresso get really bad, I drink 5-6 cups more than I should. it only worsens my state but for some reason my brain always goes "you NEED more coffee or else you can't function"
It's a desperate coping mechanism to always drink coffee whenever I feel like shit lol
my username is an inside joke on my obsession. I've always loved coffee since I was a wee 5 year old raiding my mom's stash of 3 in 1 instant coffee packets. ah, good times.
'Soulless smiles'
well,
Smiles Oasis
Is an anagram of my name. I was briefly considering using that- and I do in some instances. But It wasn't what I really wanted for my 'Pen name' I liked the idea of using my real last name, but I also didn't want to use my real name on the internet. So I came to a middle ground.
Soulless <-- is a phonetic mimic to my real last name.
And Smiles because:
1) It sounds cool
2) I smile a lot
3) I like the balance of sad and happy things.
The word Soulless is typically not viewed as a positive thing. Smiles are a positive thing.
Together, they are an unnerving kind of smile.
Soulless Smiles.
I Just want to be full of love and sharp things
Both are important to know the true significance of the other. That's contrast BB
are you sure you want to know?...
its a legendary tale that will shock you to your core! haunt your dreams! and possibly... make you insane with envy!
"ilikepizza" was already taken at the time.
was too lazy to think of a clever name to surpass all usernames.
so i just added simply to my name tadah!
vibrantfox is the second username i've gone under (insomniac being the first as i used to have and still have tbh sleeping problems and did a lot of drawing in the wee hours of the day/night)
as for vibrantfox, vibrant because i'm a slut for bright colors and cool palettes and fox coz it's one of my favorite animals and one i've been compared to on a couple of occasions
other monikers i've used are also pretty simple:
- demonquiche was "borrowed" from a tiktok by bdylanhollis and was a word/phrase he'd used to describe a "savory" pikle cheesecake
- ferretfluff was my desperate attempt at finding something cute to go along with my new fursona (a ferret/ermine type creature) but since i'm not the best a puns/wordplay i just went with ferretfluff
- and monobun was my play on an opposite to vibrantfox, mono or monochromatic to contrast vibrant and bun or bunny since it's one of the prey animals to foxes (at least afaik)
each one wound up being for specific content too with vibrantfox being my main general art brand monobun being for "mature" stuff (which is really just randomness or venty crap thus it kind of being phased out) demonquihe is now mainly associated with my h+h stuff (or so i hope) since it's a play on quiche the main character and their "identity " (tho they're not really a demon) and ferretfluff is for the furry stuff and technically the mature/suggestive stuff that would've gone under monobun since again i'm just kind of over that name and mono is literally now the rabbit character in h+h thus the shift to ferretfluff
looking at all that i could try to homogenize everything under just one dn but i kind of like the variety
Your story has a funny backstory hahaha I also love salt but I'm more of a sugar addict
I was honestly deciding an artistic nickname (also as an excuse to change my name because i'm a trans boy) and I stared looking for names that sounded good, so I decided for Sami, a finnish name that means flamboyant , and after it I added Luu, which means "light" on the demonic and angelic languages of my comic, so it means something like "bright extravagance", and I think it defines me well
I’ve used a couple of usernames online.
The very first I used was Fugui which is my middle name and rare enough not to be taken. I think that I used it on Panfu and Club Penguin hehe.
Then I started using the username “soiiia”. I had a friend who had a username with three i:s in it and I thought it looked cool so I copied that part and combined it with soya since I think it tastes delicious. I used soiiia on Flight Rising amongst other places. I think there is a Wattpad account with that username as well.
One of my newer usernames is “fraud” which I used on Episode since I hadn’t planned to stay there for long but I got hooked on it and was active for a little less than a year. I took the name with me to a couple of other places including Tapas. (Sometimes I use the nickname fraudikins instead.)
Recently I decided to change it up since I’m writing a science fiction story on tapas so I changed my username to U.F.O.
I think most of the changes stems from taking a hiatus from online communities and wanting to change it up a bit.
My user name Dee Sparta came from something my wife did.
I go by Dee but Sparta is not my surname. I use to have my phone show that it belonged to Princess PITA. That was a joke my cousin named me. When my wife and I were dating she saw PrincessPITA and changed it to Princess Sparta.
We both love ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt history. Plus we like the Spartans. I then needed a screen name for second life and combined Dee with Sparta and I have used Dee Sparta ever since.
When I got into art more seriously during 2020, I wanted to take a completely new name for myself and one that reflected the changes I'd gone through in my life up to that point. Autumn is of course a season full of change and beauty and coolness, the latter two things I strive to always reflect in my art. Certain species of butterflies are called admirals, and butterflies are a classic symbol of growth and change. I also have a soft spot for romance ("shipping") and now that I'm writing and drawing my own story, I'm the admiral of my own fleet of ships lol.
