“ the beginning ”

“I’d secretly had this feeling I wanted the film not to be about driving fast or stunts but about a guy driving round listening to music because that’s the only way he could feel. That wasn’t in the script but that’s what Nicolas felt, too. We both connected to the idea that driving can be an existential experience and you can put your persona and identity aside because you’re not really being watched. We were both interested in using the car as a vehicle to take you into the driver’s subconscious.”

As I'm watching [The Fall Guy], I picture the Driver out there, watching Colt stealing all of his jobs, wearing cool jackets, and thinking, what the hell? What do you think the Driver would say about Colt? (x)

Bonus:

TAG YOUR MOOTS AND MAKE THEM EXPLAIN THEIR USERNAMES LORE

Starting with me:

Hyyl18 because when i was youngest i had a group in a random app with some friends and i didnt knew qhat username to use so i decided to create one with things i used to read since we were talking abt fanfic in this group so: Hot Yaoi Yuri Lemon +18 stuff (i was in my dirty era dont dare to judge me). Hyyl18 thats it. Now i use it everywhere yay

basically bards are important in my book series, and that was inspired from the bard yaskier from the Witcher, and I feel like it was something he'd say about himself so I went with that.

Your guy's lore is hilarious btw 🤣

@seizetheday1 @commiemare @nicryukyo

open tags! (who i'm tagging below the cut) :) /nf

mae is in my name umm and i needed to find a word that had may in it so uhh

so uh…… mae dae .,, . , .. ,, x , ye

ok

Open tags bc I'm lazy heh Violet Out ><

So my.first username was wendigoweirdo but someone told me that it was offensive to native American tribes so I changed it to willow weirdo. And then I just felt like adding the daydreamer because that's was I am :3

Moots:

i used to be 'grape-soda-and-impish-behaviour' because i was drinking grape soda a lot and one of my main ocs at the time was called imp then i deactivated and came back as 'soda-imp' cause it was shorter yet still matched my purple theme and mood ^^

and then i changed it to 'soda-sprite' because my theme was sort of greenish with a fairycore vibe to it and my mood was more 'spritely' but i still liked soda and also still wanted to be recognisable to my moots so i kept the soda bit and i haven't changed it since!! :D

i've been thinking of changing it to soda-pop [what some of my moots call me and also the 'pop' bit matches my party theme] though... unsure! :]

Okay, so my real username wasn't actually supposed to be potatoanarchist, I made that up on a whim and I have a mind to change it. It was supposed to be Xaosix, and for a very personal reason.

To keep it as simple as possible for you, someone I knew died a while back. I had known them for my entire life--seriously, they were around since I was a baby. We had a nickname for them and that's why the six that's apart of my username. I'm not specifying what the nickname was.

The other part of my username is a reference to my mom's name. No, her name doesn't start with X. It starts with J, but I've decided to keep it as X to make a little XO sort of w/ the Xaosix. In case you can't see it

XaOsix

The XO is for both her and the person.

If I end up changing my user or online name twenty times and twenty times again, this is something that will always remain the same. It just...hits a bit different when people call me that instead of potato.

As for potatoanarchist...yeah, the reason is a tad sad, too. I've had this...mentality for the past few years that has proven to be incredibly detrimental. And I've always tried to get rid of it, like an anarchist would their government, but it's always felt too small. Like a potato. But then I smiled and got the idea that maybe I could make somebody smile with that username, a small thing ( a potato ) lightening their mood ( anarchist ). So I kept it.

You'll soon notice a lot of the decisions I make are born from personal experiences/ideas.

Deepest apologizes if this just depressed you and ruined the mood of this entire tag game 😭 extra sorry if you were already tagged I really don't know

yeah mine's kinda boring lol

My old username was caine-the-chair-smacker

Why?

Because In third grade I was um.. lets say a chaotic child and was not on the right pills for My ever so present ADHD. This was the second year I was on a med like that and the perscription changed. My modu wasn't handling it too well so I was a 3-4 foot ball of blonde anger. My third grade teacher must have done /said something to piss me off. So using all might of a third grader i had.. i picked up on of those those chairs ( there was no desk on them) and SMACKED my third grade teacher with it. I got in trouble and she hated me after that but I wasn't moved to a different teacher which was weird.

My new one is just my name and rambles because I like to ramble

So yeah. You know what I did in third grade

@alastormooseboi

@cmaymanuel

Feral has changed to ‘Farrell’ to make it an actual name, but I kept the simple ‘Feral’ for my usernames for the fun of it, and it has ‘goat’ because Farrell is a satyr.

I would go into the lore of my character, but that’s… a lot… to write so… yeah

@hotflatwaffle @lindwyrmrelinquished @j-pin-stuff @s0f-arg2010 @entostick

It actually goes ALLLL the way back to my Amino days, and for those of you who don't know, every Community you join on Amino allows you to make a different username for it, so initially I just ended up picking my favorite characters from each fandom and making my account that, BUT THEN- It was (funnily enough) when I joined the Markiplier Community that I decided to change that! Think it was cause there was already so many other accounts who did the same thing and it'd be confusing- So! It took me a while of workshopping other names and revisiting even old ones I used to go by, BUT THEN, I had a revelation-

Y'see, no matter the fandom I was in, my base account had this GIF as a pfp because I just thought it looked cool and spooky:

And when I saw that, I decided to try and do some word play with it, and after some "research" (aka Google), I found the term "Eyesore", so decided to give it a shot. And since then...it's stuck with me for over 6 years now XD

But for good reason! That name gave me a good feeling of having a theme with my account, felt like a distinct name (makes sense tho it literally does mean ugly lmao), and even helped me settle on a persona after many iterations!! Thus the eyeball head dude seen in my pfp and doodles, which his design is based off of that GIF! And ey, in all honesty, couldn't be happier with the one I picked!!

I only end up adding "boi" at the end of it cause just "eyesore" is usually already taken, so it's a good addition cause ha ha 2016 terminology, and ey least it does roll off the tongue fine enough X'D

But ye thank you for letting me lore dump...now onto my friends >:]

But obviously migrating to other sites that name would be taken. It was like around 2018 when I started using Darky Parky because it was close and sounded really cute and silly. But that iteration of that name was taken on Tumblr so I went by darkie-parkie for a long time but now that I'm an adult I didn't feel comfy people using the first part of my url as a nickname 😬😬. So now I'm here with parkie-parkie!

When I was in high school I had this old acoustic guitar I got in middle school that I absolutely loved and I used it like every day. I would decorate my guitar with little drawings and stickers symbols (despite how bad of an artist I was back then) and until it was almost covered and my high school was holding a talent show so I signed up and performed a song on my guitar and when I was done with my performance, a guy who was performing with his band after me said I had a “strange-ass guitar” but I loved my guitar so I just ended up using it as my name on all my platforms cause everything else about guitars were taken. R.I.P. that guitar, it ended up getting mold and I had to throw it away ❤️

-so I actually use to go by 'Mossy' instead of 'Reaper', Mossy was an old persona of mine I had been drawing for a while when I first started. Buut.. With making characters and gaining new interest like pokemon cards, I eventually had a point in time where I was big with CoD games for the story and characters. Sooo... I had made my own oc for it, much like making James for the MarkCU, anyhow the oc's callsign was 'Reaper'. And I had gotten big into drawing him a lot and I ended up changing a lot of stuff to Reaper so instead of ' Mossydrawsart' I now go by 'Reaperdrawsart' instead. Despite that interest not being as strong now I decided to keep my user staying Reaper because I thought it fit me as an artist and just overall, plus I've grown use to being known as Reaper!

[Apologies for tags, I never done one of these before and I'm sure you guys might've already been tagged plus I'm sure i could have tagged more peeps 😭]

sooo i used to go by kris before (now i go by krissy thats different for me okay) and stillalive is... a portal reference... i was in my portal era when i made my user and it just stayed ^^

my layout is probably a hint, but i became obsessed (like. absorbed into my freaking soul obsessed) with bkdk (from sep 2022-feb 2024) so i made my mha/bkdktwt account username at the time “izukats” because i thought that was a clever way to switch up the ship name!

i then went on to use it basically as a default username on every other social media (including tumblr as you can see), and just haven’t bothered changing any of them even though i’m not actively into mha/bkdk anymore because my online name is izu, so it feels like it all fits :D

that ship was such a huge part of my life that some part of me will always love it and remember it fondly, with the occasional mha phases that get triggered every once and a while lol

anyway, it’s izukatz with a z specifically because izukats was taken, and i have a couple different variations across aforementioned social medias due to the unavailability ^_^ but they’re all some form of izukats!

tl;dr overdosed on mha yaoi cocaine a couple years ago and made it my entire personality everywhere and now it’s too iconic to change

Alt because he’s so genderful vvv
