On a good day I’m up around 5 AM, but I often find myself up even earlier than that. I joined my first Lemmy instance during one of these bouts of insomnia, prompting my username.

My avatar is from a worldbuilding project I work on.

    Very few people know who/what Chip Chipperson is. I particularly like the young fella and chippys mittens was the name of his pet horse, RIP.

    A friend in primary school just started giving us weird nicknames and decided to call me the wizard pope (not really but that is the best translation) he even held elections and elected me to the position so I just started using it as my username. The picture is self explanatory though I did have to change it in the spring.

    Hollow is a song title by an EDM artist named Dabin and has themes about loneliness, emptiness, and inner turmoil. Also depression makes me feel hollow. V is the first letter of my first name.

    Here’s the song: https://youtu.be/K-AD0iMs_ak

    My username is my first name abbr and my middle initial just backwards. Ben A. It still pretty anonymous if I wanted it the right way around but Aneb is very funny to me tbh. It was very seductive when Staments said it in verse in his voice memo to me a while back. Its also something my grandma does with words so its an homage to her as well. tsuguanimajneb would be too long ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    I wanted something short and unique and this was somewhat pronounceable with a vowel in the middle

      I have the user name “aeao” on Xbox. Just 4 letters. One day it’ll be worth millions!

    As a child in the local library, I always passed the large print section and there was always this one book there: The Spitting Image. It had a furious-looking gargoyle on the cover and it used to scare me at first, but over time it seemed goofier and goofier. And since as an adult I have to fight the urge to be goofy when I should be serious, I felt like it was suitable.

    Picked a random space word and a random object in the room at the time.

    My avatar was created by me a long time ago based on the “Astro” part of my username.

    I don’t have an avatar because I can’t figure out how to change it. Looked it up plenty and always come away empty handed.

      On the web, click on your username in the upper right and then click on settings. Under Avatar you can browse your local file system for a suitable file.

    I’m autistic, have adhd, am neither right or left handed, and am a sociopath.

    I didn’t choose the weird life, the weird life chose me, I just accepted it.
