Pspsps Aphverse Homestuck fans how are we feeling about these chumhandles for Realmbound?? (silly lil aphverse homestuck au) (keep in mind it’s set the summer before FCU)

recklessRedlight [RR] - Dante: Reckless from his attitude he’s semi-adapted from Gene, redlight from the film term redlight, a show that was green lit and is now canceled. I gave him a filmmaking hobby as a future nod to Dante and Travis the Show. He’s not that good at it lmao

romanticEncore [ER] - Laurance: This one kinda explains itself. But the encore part is directly linked to theatre themes if anyone remembers my old post where I classpected mcd!Laurance and had a bunch of theatre ties

rightfulAggregate rightfulAce [RA] - Katelyn: Rightful being a holdover from mcd!Katelyn’s sense of justice and aggregate being the combined number of goals scored by each team during a soccer game. Also it sounds like aggressive which,,,, it’s mys!Katelyn,,,, so,,,,,  and ace being a volleyball term I totally didn't misremember Katelyn as a soccer player and am now editing my post and only chose ace so I could keep the initials

modestRelay [MR] - Kim: Modest being a personality descriptor and relay being a computer joke. She’s going to become a relay for the horrorterrors/ghosts kind of like grimdark!Rose or how meat!Jade is sometimes a relay for Calliope to speak in Beyond Canon

erraticRook [ER] - Zenix: Erratic because look at the damn guy. Rook being short for rookie. Lil rookie Shadow Knight that’s what he is :3

esteemedArdor [EA] - Garroth: Esteemed from him being the “esteemed, golden child” and ardor coming from his personality

antonymousRunabout [AR] - Vylad: Antonymous as he’s different from Zane and Garroth, being the half brother. Runabout comes from Vylad literally doing EVERYTHING ELSE. Dude is just running about doing side quests all the time

afternoonEnchantress [AE] - Lucinda: Also self explanatory I feel

ampleAdaptation [AA] - Aphmau: Ample from seemingly infinite, numerous/extent and adaptation being a different version. So in synonyms, ampleAdaptation = one out of a fuck ton of different versions of you. And we all know how many damn versions of Aph exist out there. Also I thought her username just being all A’s would be cute

lycanthropesRemand [LR] - Aaron: Lycanthrope because you know why. Remand being sending a prisoner back to custody while awaiting trial. Not saying FCU is a prison here, I’m saying Derek is the awaiting trial

lucifersExploit [LE] - Travis: This feels like a scene kid username. But aside from that, Lucifer being in reference to the Demon Warlock here and exploit because,,,, you know. 

labretAlchemist [LA] - Ein: Labret being a type of piercing, alchemist because of the potion thing

leedsLadder [LL] - Nicole: Oh man this one was fun okay so Joan of Leeds was a nun who faked her death to escape her convent in 1318. Ladder is in reference to a ladder network, another computer joke, but also an electrical engineering joke as I have Nicole in this as a sort of mechanic/electrical engineer guy. General handyman really. Nicole does fuck all in Mystreet so I had to make up a lot. Essentially, my version of mys!Nicole ran away from home (like mcd!Nicole) after graduating high school and kinda took to train hopping to keep moving and to avoid having to take over her dad’s soulless company. She and Vylad find a lot of common ground. I love those two. Anyway, does a lot of handiwork to keep money incoming, will only ever keep cash, and builds her own portable appliances. However a ladder network is a string of impedances/resistors connected between to voltages. Nicole tends to not think how her actions affect others, too busy living in her own freedom, so she tends to accidentally drop roadblocks for her friends without noticing. It’s not on purpose, but it is a touchy subject if you try to poke at it as she really values her self-made freedom

lovelyMonogatari [LM] - Nanachi: Or Nana. Nanachi is my rename, don’t worry about that. Her name is still actually Nana and Nanachi is the nickname replacement for Kawaii~Chan because a) it’s an actual nickname and b) I think it’d be really funny if the “coming out” scene where she goes “My name is Nana” goes something along the lines of “My name isn’t Nanachi. It’s Nana.” and the general consensus is “Well. Yeah. We kinda figured.” Anyway username, lovely from her personality, monogatari is a JP word for fairytale/story. Like how her whole persona is a sort of tall tale overplaying the cuteness factor for self preservation.

egoistMouser [EM] - Michi: egoist from personality, mouser because haha cat joke. But also she do be playing with people like they’re mice for her to chase

maelstromAuthority [MA] - Gene: Maelstrom from his tendency to create chaos, authority from his leadership of the ShadowKnights

mysticLament [LM] - Sasha: Mystic being in reference to her fortune reading hobby, like her canonical palm reading and her less canonical tarot reading. Lament since she’s going to be responsible for accidentally killing Zenix and it’s gonna haunt her for a while. Teehee

melancholicMyrmidon [MM] - Zane: Emo ass username lmao melancholic from personality, myrmidon being “A soldier or a subordinate civil officer who executes orders of a superior without protest or pity.” Anyway. Garte.

Book review: Darren Hultberg Jr's Realmbound #BookReview

Dark, terrifying, horned demons emerged the world over on the day the world ended. But these seemingly invulnerable creatures were different to the other monsters that appeared, they didn’t hunt just any running flesh, they hunted those of power, politicians, figureheads, leaders, so why had one pursued Rian. He was nothing special, an eighteen year old grocery store clerk with no idea what he…
