Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

How I got my username.

mutantdevle.png



I was 9 years old. It was a sunny day (I think, I don't actually go outside) and I was creating my very own Minecraft account. Previously I had shared a Minecraft account with my brother and sister but I was a big boy now and had my own email address and my dad was willing to buy me my very own Minecraft account. So there I was, trying to think of a name. I was nicknamed a "daredevil" at the time by my family because I was a badass and climbed **** all day and even climbed out my bedroom window 3 times (on the first floor) so I could have died but I didn't because I was the daredevil and I have no fears, deal with it.

Anyway, I try to set my username as "daredevle". It's taken. Damn. Then I try "cheekydevle" because I was also pretty cheeky at the time. I was 9. Don't judge. But that was also taken. Minecraft gives me suggestions of different usernames mainly consisting of what I entered with numbers on the end. Was I going to have a stupid username with random numbers on the end? Heck no. You think I was some kind of noob like maxi123? No, I was not. So I keep trying different variants with the word "devle" in it. This included but was not limited to "devledare", "reddevle", "monsterdevle" and "naughtydevle" (I wasn't actually a naughty person, I was quite well behaved, but it sounded cool). So there I was different variants but still wanting to include "devle". I was almost crying, everything was taken. Until eventually, I found it. "mutantdevle". It was not taken. I was so happy. I had finally found a good username. Something I considered an improvement to my previously mainly used username "Devlin10", (okay maybe I was a noob for a while).

So now I had my own username on Minecraft and things were going pretty well for me. I had my life sorted. Until, 1 year later, I tried multiplayer. I log onto a server. I start talking to people. It's fun. But then 1 **** says to me: "tHaT's NoT hOw U sPeLl DeViL!!!". And then they mock me for it. I don't like this guy and I don't trust him. So I go to my favourite browser: internet explorer (because I'm hip) and do a bing search (because I'm hip) to see how it's spelt. ****. I spelt it wrong. It's supposed to be "devil" and not "devle". But I can't change my username. And I already started using mutantdevle on Roblox and good game cafe and good game empire and good game disco. So I guess that's my official username now.

But I don't want to admit that I made a mistake. So I start to roleplay. I create the character "mutantdevle" for myself. I am from the nether. I am friends with the pigmen. I ride the ghasts. I swim in lava. The blaze are my friends. The wither is my god. And "a devle is a devil that was not born as a devil but has changed to become one in some way". I mutated to become a devil so hence my name. Okay backstory time: I was once human. I was just a child and abused by my foster father (not sexually he just hit me and stuff and called me stupid). My foster father was also a scientist and used me in experiments. One day he put me in a tub of acid and I starting dissolving and dying. But then the wither burst through a nether portal and saved me and mutated me into a devil to live in the nether with other devils. Backstory over.

So that's why the devle part of my name made sense. But that didn't work for Roblox so I created a new account called JhonMcfly. Yes, I incorrectly spelt "John" don't judge me. I just told people it was a different way to spell John. JhonMcfly was a sexy badass who killed people with a flying killer car that could phase through doors and windows. But that's another story. I didn't play any of the 'good game' games anymore so I didn't need to change anything there. And my name on EE was still Devlin. I don't know why it wasn't Devlin10 I guess I just felt like a rebel and didn't want the 10 anymore. Actually, it's because I only used Devlin10 because Devlin was always taken. But it wasn't taken on EE. I think that's the first sign that I would play this game and love it forever.

So then I kept using mutantdevle for every other thing I signed up for since then. After being a furry for a while I eventually grew the **** up, I stopped playing Minecraft and I no longer pretended to be a human that mutated into a devil through acid. I started playing different more popular games such as Team Fortress 2 and the binding of Isacc. I actually spent more time watching youtube than gaming. EE now allowed you to change your name for 50 gems. But that was too expensive so I waited for Black Friday and was able to afford the 25 gems. Then I changed it to mutntdevle (yes I forgot the 'a', seriously stop judging me). So then I asked really nicely and I was allowed to change my name again and was given 50 gems to do so. But I logged on to EE before checking the forums and thought I had randomly gained 50 gems and I spent them on 2 classic items. Then I checked the forums and realised my **** up. So I was stuck as mutntdevle for a little longer but then I thought "**** it" and just bought 50 gems with real money and changed my name to mutantdevle.

"BUT WHY DO YOU KEEP IT AS THAT, WHY DON'T YOU JUST CORRECT THE SPELLING?!!??!" I predict you ask. Well, "mutantdevle" isn't just a username for me anymore. It means something to me. First of all, it's a symbol of persistence when I was first creating it. I was determined to have "devle" in my name and wouldn't give up until I succeeded. Next, it lets me remember my childhood. My Minecraft and Roblox days were fun. My sister and I often played together and I didn't have to worry about real life things like my appearance, sexuality, relationships, education, friendships, politics, etc. It reminds me of those stress free times when I could just be a kid and enjoy life. Finally, it reminds me of my mistakes and my regrets. Those many MANY spelling mistakes I used to make (I'm now a pro level speller). How I used to make excuses for them. But I accept them now. It reflects my change. I have so many regrets as I have made so many mistakes (like that furry stuff was a really **** weird phase, I was a fox with devil horns and wings if you're wondering). But now I look back on my regrets and my mistakes and I accept I cannot change them. But I reflect on them and I learn from them. So "mutantdevle" isn't just a username for me. It's so much more than that. It has so much more meaning. "mutantdevle" is me. It's my history. It's what I enjoyed in the past and what I didn't. It's how I've changed. It's how I've grown as a person. And most of all, it's what I hope to be.




*About 90% of this is true.
**The abusive foster father was not an irl issue, just part of my fabricated back story.
***EE is now pretty much the only online game I play regularly.

Re: How I got my username.

Young self was "drunk" at the time when I created my EE account, so it'll be a mystery on how I thought of it.

Vinyl Melody on the other hand, it's just a combination of two ponies' names.

Re: How I got my username.

What about slabdrill's old usernane 123497274478382828


Also time for my username:

Abelysk is a play on Abelisk. Abelisk is the name of a rare enemy of one of my favorite Final Fantasy games, Final Fantasy 12. I remembered how cool the names sounded (Luxollid, Vishnu, Disma, Midgaardsormr, and 76 more names) so I looked for one that wasn't taken (for a game called Spiral Knights).

Abelisk, the name of a fish t-rex thing, wasn't taken. I loved the sound of it, it sounded cool and mystical.

Whenever I see my name, I'm reminded of one of my favorite games of all time. Reminds me of the amazing journey I had when I was young(er), how the world of FF12 engrossed me.

Re: How I got my username.

My name in-game "Italkalot" came from where my dad would always tell me that I talk way too much and need to stop. Because as a kid i would always narrate my gameplay or tell a story off the top of my head about how i did something in the past. Or how something occurred in the game. I just talked way to much...

I remember the update in EE where we could make names. How awesome! We could finally identify players.

I, however, thought you would be able to change names later on. Unfortunately, I didn't wanna change my Kongregate account, so "Itsmeandersonlol" was stuck with me forever.

I made that name from "It's-a mee Mario!" to "It's me Anderson!" and being me and my derpy self added "lol" at the end of it.

Anderson was some completely random name that popped up, I have no idea why I thought of it. Maybe it was a teacher I had before... I still don't know.
