What inspired your username This one is based on my love of chocolate and cats, and my old nickname I used on a previous forum referenced my jaguar Theriotype as well as my love for 80s synthwave aesthetic.

My original username used to be iridescentteeth. I got it from a user who was posting a bunch of unused users for people to use so I went ahead and swiped it! I love everything iridescent, holographic or pearlescent. And I felt the “teeth” part was representative of both my hobby has a (primarily) furry artist as well as my nonhumanity. Later on I changed it to “claws” to make those reasons a bit more obvious. And now I use iridescent*moon* for my therian accounts because I love the moon and it’s very important to me spiritually. It’s a little hard to explain but just thinking about the moon and looking up at it fills me with peace

It's a name I started using online as a pseudonym to avoid giving my legal/true name. It's a shortening of a name shared by both my grandfathers and one great-grandfather, and one that I was almost named by my parents. I got so comfortable using it online that now I use it irl as well, although still not "Officially" (i.e. legally/in school/work)
Our name is basically just our old username (KuraiOokami) except with Canid to reflect my wolf kintype better. Another reason why I removed "Kurai" is because Kurai is a character of mine and I didn't want anyone thinking they were a sona. (they used to be a sona and a character but I now am making a new sona and I'm just keeping her as a character)

I'm a dog and I've been wearing glasses for about 2/3 of my life and they're kind of a big self identifier for me
ripley's believe it or not made me who i am today ------ oh no a full moon!!! get away before i transform into a horrible monster that just wants treats and tummy rubs!!!
The first theriotype I ever "confirmed" was swift fox; it turned out to be wrong, but that was the species I entered the therian community (and therefore the alterhuman community at large) as, back in 2016. When I was making my first 'kin Tumblr in 2020, I thought it would be cute if I harkened back to the good ol' days of being a fox in my username. As for where the "n" came from; "swiftfox" was obviously taken and I thought "swiftfoxen" would sound cool, then somewhere along the line the "e" got dropped. I guess I just thought it looked more fun that way.
The whole gargoyle thing is my new "brand" since I had to drop my old one for dysphoria reasons kinda suddenly lol.
My demiform looks like a gargoyle in my opinion, gargoyle is alliterative with my new name Gideon*, and I really like gargoyles as a concept and the art that used to be called "grotesques" but now everyone has grouped together as "gargoyles".
*I recently realized the name Gideon makes me happy, but legally changing my name is becoming ridiculous 🙃, so I put it in ALL of my screen names so that I get people calling me my name ^_^
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'm obsessed with dinosaurs, and this animals are very important for me both aesthetically and spiritually, even my daemon's favourite forms are either dinosaurs, or birds, and birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs. So I wanted my nickname to sound like a name of a some sort of dinosaur species. And beskar is a "local" name of Mandalorian iron.

Mine's just my name, nothing too special! My @ though is Ravensworn, which is just a call to the fact that, as my kintype, I formed a pact with a raven-god.
Lol I shared about this in another thread recently, but I'll give the fuller story here too.
In 7th grade/~2008 I made an account on VampireFreaks. It was the first time I made a social media username, so I felt a lot of pressure to pick something I really liked. Meanwhile, that same schoolyear I had made a poster with my best friend for a class debate on the subject of whether cupcakes or muffins were better that we decorated to be all bloody. After the presentation, we cut the poster in half - I kept the muffins half and she kept the cupcakes half. So, while I was trying to figure out what my username should be, I looked around my room and saw the bloody muffins poster hanging up. The word "bloodmuffins" came to mind and it just really resonated with me. It's been my go-to username ever since. I also found the nonhuman communities initially through VampireFreaks, so I think it felt natural to continue using bloodmuffins in community spaces. In more recent years I've considered changing it because as an adult I sometimes worry it feels a little immature/"edgy," but at this point it's such a core part of my online identity and it's how I've been known for so long, I can't imagine ever changing it.
lmao so my actual alias I have a big presence with is Penebui. And there is a whole storyline to it. My friend made a species of egyptian cat anthros, and I had to name an oc of mine that is that species. So I look up some egyptian names, I come up with Antigonus. I continue to search, and I found a name with the word pen in it. I search it up and there is only a few sentences on Penebui's wiki (she was an egyptian queen with only a few ivory tags with her name on it, and thats how she was discovered. She was an early queen) and realized yes!! This sounds like a good name for me. So I use it. Cause its unique, you cant mistake me for another, etc. And that is how I came to be. Some websites I cant go by it because it has the word 'pene'.
Now, for goremorph! The alias I go by for otherkin related purposes. Goremorph wasnt supposed to be the name I went by for otherkin, I made that name a few days before I delved into otherkin stuff, and realize I myself was otherkin. Goremorph was from the word 'polymorph' and 'morpheus' (Morpheus is actually one of my kardiatypes). And also the word 'gore' too, if ya didnt notice. I have an odd fascination with gore, more of how it looks I guess? I usually look at gore art more often than not. So goremorph was supposed to be an edgy weird sideblog, which quickly switched to an otherkin blog after my awakening.
