huh someone on Twitter a few weeks ago posted a link to their SoundCloud where they wrote a song called "chimerror" back in 2016

I gave it a like, it was pretty nice

doing a search and I figured out my hrt anniversary

December 14, 2018

I wrote to write.as that I was going to keep a log there, took my first shot and never wrote to it again lol

luckily I seem to still be pretty good at not being the first one to show up under either my dead name or current work name

I show up for the second but I'm not the first one!

fuck I'm not even the first one for my dead name combined with my alma mater

instead it's my arch nemesis who works at Valve

🐆: this is why you should just use "Chimmy" as your RL name

🐕: 🤔

I would have a tough time doing that, like I honestly do consider my dead name a gift and that's why I first chose something pronounced the very way that my family shortened it

but also I'm intending on just switching the spelling to Jaycie

if I would do Chimmy, I'm totally going with her completely made up "full name" Chimerelda

@chimerror first I named a character “Makishi” under the belief that was a word for “werehyena” (it isn’t!). Then I decided it was short for “Makhona kaImpisi,” which is a vaguely plausible Zulu name for a hyena character.

@Leucrotta I actually had to come up with a retcon for what the Quoll version of Chimmy named her character so yeah, that happens!
