Tenno, wake up. It’s time to put on the silly norg fish mask from cetus and make it look good.

I was making a silly joke on Reddit…

I saw a watch company use the name Omega, before I even knew it was the name of a greek letter.

The way I drove and the papers I used for rolling joints back when I was a teenager

At first I lurked on my boyfriend’s account. We had both left Reddit during the API debacle, but I wasn’t ready to rejoin social media yet, so he hopped on Lemmy first.

But as he shared links and news and memes with me, and I scrolled the comments, I started wanting to participate. The first few times I felt drawn to comment (but didn’t yet), I wanted to ask people what the reasoning was behind their thoughts. That stuff is interesting to me.

So when I finally sat down and made an account for myself, it was the first thought in my head. I haven’t found myself asking anybody about their reasoning since then, but I still like the name.

It sounds cute.

It’s an auditory pareidolia I often have, everytime someone says “courant d’air” (which is draught in french), I hear my first name.

The Reddit API debacle that killed third party apps.

I dunno, but people sure love calling me it all the time.

School nickname

In Portuguese “zero hora” is the midnight shift, people started making jokes when I slept in class and the name got stuck.

Stole it from a user on a pirate bbs I was a member of in the early 90s, Digital Underground

It’s from valarin (Tolkien’s language of the Valar)

Akasan is ‘he says’

-z suffix is a person’s name

So it’s basically ‘Teller’ (I’d say storyteller) in valarin.

The ‘h’ was supposed to help in pronunciation, it only mildly does, I find

It means bare, naked, possession-less.
