welcome and well met, my brave little spark
I just... I just really like puns. And yokai.



So the yokai kappa + the drink cappuccino.

The funny part? I've hated coffee even back when I could have caffeine.

do u know... la-hee?


i stopped feeling my previous alias so

since i love norse mythology a lot, i went hunting through it for an alias related to it. after some musing, i ended up going with valka.

valka is a short form of the name valgerðr; val- means "the dead on a battlefield", and -gerðr means "enclosure"/"protection" so, i've taken it to mean something like protector of the slain; plus, it's similar to valkyrie, so |D

tbh i would've changed my alias to nyx since i've always loved the night, but it's overused...

Mine comes from the Biblical figure in the Old Testament. It's my actual name, and I use it for out-of-character accounts whenever I can. All diminutives bother me.

Alternatively, I pull sobriquets out of seventeenth-century operas, or, books on them if I've no access to digitized librettos. They're usually Italian, but I may translate.

My original username that I used for years came from a Descartes quote/philosphy as well as an anime. I still use it for my art.

My current one (eye-oh-da/eye-oh-ta) is from the definition "a very small amount." I chose it to remind myself to be humble. ^^;

It was a vow to myself that I would do my very best to not muddle my words, or my thoughts, or lose my temper, as I've before had problems with all of those things. Been a good track record so far.

Also it sounds like "Claire" and that's neat. Good name.
