Dunno if I already posted here, but when I was a kid and in the egg I used to do jazzhands as my default "pictures pose". It was a dumb thing to do, because it made my hands blur out of existence, but it made me happy :] recently, my pictures pose is the most awkward thumbs-up I can muster, but jazzhandsman just sounds better.
I was just laying there on a table in the sun with a bunch of other crap at a garage sale and one little girl picked me up by a leg looked at me in her hands then just screamed "I love it I love it I love an an and her name her name is jet!" And then I just woke up
I kind of chose mine based on instincts, not a clear sense of exactly what it meant, but I've pondered the concept of being a "Silvan ghost" a lot since. As far as I can remember from my life in Mirkwood, "ghosts" of plants and animals were viewed as ever-present and everywhere, and the immaterial phase was seen as a natural part of decomposition. The ghosts of plants and animals were what taught us how to interact with living members of their species. Their role in death was to teach others about their life.
Even though we didn't really have room for people ghosts in our spirituality, now that I'm in a different life and still connected to my Mirkwood life, I kinda view my Elven self as a ghost in that sense. Not like a lesser shell of my living self, but a ghost in the MIrkwood Silvan tradition who's working on composting the knowledge I gained in my previous life into something useful and life-giving for the present moment. So yeah, I'm a Silvan ghost.

I go by Rowan in the 'kin community (it'll be part of my legal name eventually) and I have two wolf theriotypes. When I first joined the therian community a million and twelve years ago, back in 2007~2008, I simply identified as a grey wolf therian. I've since narrowed the grey wolf down to a Canadian timber wolf and realized that I actually have an African golden wolf (a different species altogether and not a subspecies of grey wolf) theriotype as well. Wolf, specifically my timber wolf, is still the strongest of my nonhuman identities and the one I will default to calling myself. So RowanWolf. Nothing super exciting or creative, just my name and primary kintype.

So my name "ThelaughingRed" is a reference to how my red panda kintype smiles and sometimes laughs. I am also a Buddhist, so smiling and laughter to me is a way to enjoy life as things are. I at first wanted to be "The Smiling Red", but I liked the laughing part better :]

Mine was pretty simple. I am spiritkin, my name is scout and i am a big webnerd and do website coding. so spirit1scout1net just made sense. I have a similar user name on spacehey i believe.
I go by the user "Gaybulborb" on Tumblr, at least for my Pikmin blog. I just thought it a funny username. In game, the bulborbs belong to the "Grubdog" family. At one point I made my nickname in a discord server "Homosexual Grubdog" just for laughs. Then I decided "you know what, I like the word Grubdog" and have started using it as my username ever sense.
I have a facet whose full nickname is Grublord... I just sorta picked it one day and "Grub" stuck, lol

If you've seen my source it's kind of self-explanatory-- "odo'ital" translating to "unknown sample" or more literally "nothing". I've sort of post-ironically reclaimed it, though.

mine's a play on my middle name "Wilde", which I also tend to use in therian spaces more frequently than my usual name..."wilderwilderness" just has a nice ring to it, y'know? it also makes me think of deep, dark forests where I feel at home ^^
