elsinore is the setting of hamlet and it also is a poetic sounding wordโ€” i've had a few hamlet uns over the years, none of which people will remember me from i think.

terra is the main character of final fantasy vi, my favorite game. i have it as my personal username on dw and it was also my username on lj!
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i chose it for ffvi reasons but i appreciate that it's latin for earth.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
my icon community vigils is named because my original dw username was hymn and i believe vespers was taken. it was a theme!

previously on plurk i was latkje which is a suikoden character but i changed it because no one could spell it for pings.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
(i originally started using that as a username on tumblr because it's weird and hard to spell and i didn't want an enormous tumblr presence, though obviously i still like nash a lot.)
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i renamed from latkje to lightfellows which is still super suikoden iii and then i moved to elsinore because i wanted a non fandom-linked name.

my online handle has always been alex apart from a brief angsty phase where i tried changing it to just ex when i was 16.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
presaging elon musk???
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
alex is my real name though i often wish i had picked some other nom de guerre because i like aliases, basically.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
if you're curious on a character username i can explain that but idk that i have that are particularly opaque.

and bucky's account has an explanation in his user info lolโ€ฆ

ah! that's an epithet for athena, so it has a final fantasy connotation with e.g. the minerva armor
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
but it also means "white bird" (or maybe it was sea bird?) which has a specific relevance to celes's story.

ffvi fact: i bought a used copy online in like 2004 or so? and when it arrived, it had a handwritten note the seller wrote, saying how much they loved the game and how much they hope i'd love it as well.
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
awww that's sweet.

i was recently ranting to someone about how my brother has taken our communal snes games and either sold them or gotten rid of them or stored them idk where. a betrayal!!
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
agreed on both counts.
๐“ฝ๐“ฑ๐“ฎ ๐“ฑ๐“ช๐“ท๐“ฐ๐“ถ๐“ช๐“ท
if you ever do want a physical cartridge again, let me know. my snes stuff has just been in storage for years, i might be persuaded to get rid of some of it
๐”ฐ๐”ฒ๐”Ÿ ๐”ฏ๐”ฌ๐”ฐ๐”ž
i'm not sure i would do anything with it besides put it in storage but i'll keep that in mind if i ever get a hankering.

elsinore was my dw password for ages, but because of the rescue of the jews in 1943 instead of hamlet
