Well. I am a wench. And quite jaded. I wanted to make something I had not really used before, back when I joined the place that shall not be named, and it sort of stuck. I also really love the color green. If it makes you feel any better I am a much happier person today than I was then. Still a wench though. 😈

I chose mine because one day I had nothing to do and was super bored, so I just stared at ceiling and blackedout. And mind you I wasn't tired or anything neither did I sleep, I just lost consciousness because I was bored.

Because my tiny little arms have been replaced with laser-cannons.

There was a now deleted YouTube video by OneMinuteGalactica called "Apollo launches his viper funny" where Apollo from the original BSG tries to take off, but the launch tube just goes for miles and miles while the bridge crew and other pilots scramble to figure out what's going on. I thought the reference to it was funny and sounded cool when I was 15ish and it's pretty much stuck

Because it sounds perverse, slummy/moist, and randomly generated in equal measure.

I originally chose this as my Minecraft nickname, it's the name of a JavaScript library that I used (https://webpack.js.org)

I liked Ren and Stimpy when I was a kid first getting on the Internet.

It's the back of my name stuck on the front of my name. Also hope it makes me sound like a knight of the seven kingdoms.

Tanith was one of the goa'uld from Stargate SG-1 which I was a huge fan of as a kid. Back then I was not so good at spelling so I sounded it out and kept adding letters until I found a username that wasn't taken

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It’s an alteration of an older PSN name I used a while back and it has a really nice ring to it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I was trying to call someone an idiot, but I only had a calculator on hand. I also didn't consider talking as an option.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Because 10 year old me didn't know how to spell in japanese.

TK is a journalism joke. In that field, placeholder headlines used to commonly be written in as "Headline TK" or "TKTKTK" etc. It comes from back when newspapers were typeset physically before set in lead to be sent to the printer. It is short for To Come. Many editing marks are misspelled on purpose to make them stand out from the final text. "TK" is an unusual pairing of letters, so it stands out.
