TBH Fox's name is a pretty silly name.

It would be like if my name was human or if your name was opos-




oh
:061:
What are you talking about?

The most iconic video game hero is Man Treading, from Man Tanks.

For every Alex, Dexter and Max, there's a Jaxxon, Xexelia and Richard Nixon.
Guys, c'mon. Let's all agree that those Organization 13 edgelords names are horrible except for Axel, since that an actual name a real human being would feasibly have.

I am thinking about joining your writing challenge, IDK what to say.
It does look interesting.
You're free to hop in.

if it wasnt for the laws of this land I would slaughter you for using that gif

Nah.

In all fairness, Xander's character isn't that great in Fates outside of Supports.
Yeah, I know.

But I was thinking about that disgusted look he has in his FEH portrait, and when I went googling for it I came away with something better.

This discussion had me realize that one of the characters in a personal project I'm working on does have an X in their name...

...and I have no regrets...



Speaking of, I really need to continue working on these projects...

Look. I'm just saying. Amateur writers are often far more concerned with giving their characters cool names than they are writing a good character. I can't stand most science fiction for the overabundance of Xs and I can't stand most fantasy for the overabundance of Ys.

Shishœ's Writing Tip of the Day: naming characters is hard, so just do what I do: smash your keyboard and rearrange the letters until they make sense!
For example:
Aofoaco
Name them: Avocado!

Thank you for your attention!

Ok, but for real, naming is probably the hardest part for me, and I can't really think much for their characters if they don't have a name so I when I can't think of anything on the spot I just put some random ass common name on them and sometimes they end up sticking.

Name generators are your friend.

If you're gonna invent your character's name, at least do what Tolkien did and justify them by creating an entire spoken language with its hundreds of years of history and its own etymological rules.

Tolkien named an elf "Teleporno" and then invented an entire language to defend that choice.

That reminded me of how Tolkien came up with the name for 'Orc'...

Can just PM me the weekly stuff for a word count if you don't want it public. I don't judge.

And if you think you're unprofessional, wait'll you get a load of me.
xD Oh come on, I bet you will do a thousand times better than me, and weekly stuff, wordcount? :o I'm a bit confused!

There's also the fact that english is not my first language, but I just can't write stuff down in spanish, it sounds so awkward.

Heh. Exactly how I made this name.
Cosufa.
From taking the first two letters of each 'part' of what I got involving one of those 'Use your names to determine what you would be as "insert thing here".'

If I do get premium at some point, I might change my name to that at some point.

The best plan for naming characters is writing Xzerxeys well enough that nobody gives a **** about his name.

Although you're on hard mode with that example.

Oh believe me, I ain't gonna. I haven't done proper prose in ages.
Pokemafia was fun but hardly counts.

The weekly and word count stuff is probably best explained by just linking you to the challenge itself.

Admittedly the language bit I don't have a proper solution for. I can read Spanish to a degree, but not to a great one.

...although I suppose if it's just a word count, the language the words are in doesn't matter quite as much...

My usual username is Akxareth.

Honestly, I can't even justify it much. I was keysmashing because I wanted a name for my MMO character and Akxareth came out. Got attached to it and now it's my go to username in most places.

I say wrestlers.

Just because this guy is literally called Dolph Ziggler and that's bad enough.

Judging by the look on his face, he doesn't want to be named that. Can't say I blame him for it though.

*insert horrible joke connection involving this guy and Mercy from Overwatch*

I mean, I can't be the only one who thought of Mercy when I saw the name "Dolph Ziggler" that sounds like "Doctor Ziegler".

Apparently he himself chose the name, sort of.

Named himself Dolph after his granddad, and apparently his friends gave him Ziggler.

I think I would leave those friends.

Something about IW I liked a lot.

Well sort of
But the theater being packed made it way more fun, because we all got to cheer and **** when the good stuff happened.

When Steve showed up behind the train we all popped like crazy, same when Thor came to Earth with Rocket and Groot.

It almost felt like watching a wrestling event, but with a lot less booing and more laughing because the humor in the film was just fantastic.

I know it's based off of the "Mob Rules" song, but Maximum Carnage has a strong soundtrack.

Speaking of drawing.

Watching some of my old one be like:
0e7.gif

If there is one thing I wish I ever get in the futur, it's the ability to accept that my drawing aren't great, but that I shouldn't beat myself over it.

Being a perfectionnist when you aren't great is suffering.

I think there’s something freeing about the knowledge that no one will ever create a character name as good as Zaphod Beeblebrox
