sunlightverse - help needed :(((
It's for the Ancestors' screennames. ;__; Some of them came rather easily, some are hrrm, and some refuse to give me anything. Suggestions welcome. (not anything you've read or used yourself in another fic tho plz?)
Anyway, my current list:
Handmaid: aridAnachronism
Summoner: aviaTerrorist
Psiionic: tornAugury (hmm.)
Signless: cardinalGallivant
Disciple: ardentlyCarnivore
Dolorosa: governatrixAupair (ehh)
Redglare: gC: ?????? ( my ideas leaned toward garrot, crooner, chronicler, cipher, but i can't put them together in a satisfying way)
Mindfang/Aranea: affectedGlory (Aranea). (I think Mindfang would use another screenname because wtf affected. D: aG: ??????)
Darkleer: cT: ??????
Grand Highblood: tumblingCraniums
Dualscar: cA: ?????? (covetous courter cavalier admirer angelshark ????)
Condesce: codComplex (Aranea set it up and her meenah side cracked up so she kept it)
edit: also Dad Egbert has that PipeFan413 name but it's not a trollian-formatted name, so should I find him a new one? Pff he'd likely go with pipeFan, but idk, I kind of want him to go with E and B words so he matches John's second screenname. But... zero ideas.

And for Dualscar, coxswainAdmirer?
no subject
I like the word coxswain but that's not equal to a captain and I think Dualscar had enough vanity not to be able to stand that anyone could order him around.

Re: Here via brilliant kinkmeme fic
Calescent is a very pretty word that I did not know before, I'm just not sure how it relates to redglare. plz sell it to me? >___>

Also hi, I'm three-post-anon from a while back. Only not so anon anymore c.c

(Anonymous) 2012-08-10 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)Angel might be applicable to Dualscar, as Sollux says they're a form of demon.
governanceCorrector for Redglare? Her job seems to include bringing corrupt government officials to justice.

I like the angel thing for Dualscar but I haven't been able to shove it anywhere. Argh.

(Anonymous) 2012-08-10 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)For Darkleer if you wanted to go very blunt and straightforward it could be courtTechnician, which would be kind of cutting-edge depending on the level of technology when they first got their handles. Plus it shows his devotion to his job and the hierarchy.
My names are all boring but I love your stories and want to help.
Depending on when exactly they're setting these handles up Psiioniic could be twofoldAnguish, because he had a horrible life and now he has to live with the people who made it bad, plus watch Sollux and Feferi be adorable together. (The adults are going to be SO CONFUSED by the handmaid if they don't remember their young selves well, she only came face-to-face with the Condesce.
governmentCrusader because Redglare is win. Though again, depends on when they're choosing handles.

I think Signless, Dolorosa, Disciple and Psii all had screennames before Signless died so they could talk to each other, but I don't know if Psii would want to keep it or in what mood he was when he figured it out. If he was in a boastful mood then he'd have it changed now. (as a vessel his self-name would have been automatically reformated as Her Imperial Condescenscion's Battleship Condescenscion anyway. HIC BC for short. XD he is noooot keeping that.)
Crusader for Redglare is another neat idea!

Keep "glory" for the second word, but use a different "A" word to express Mindfang's...Mindfangness.
ascendantGlory? anarchicGlory? allGlory?
governanceCorrector for Redglare? Her job seems to include bringing corrupt government officials to justice.
I second this, though not without reservations. It lacks the morbid, unsettling tone one expects of anyone related to Terezi, but if nothing better is suggested...
Hmm. garrotCorrector? Works as a kind of synonym-trolltag to gallowsCalibrator...
Dolorosa: governatrixAupair (ehh)
governatrixAdrift (because to become Signless's "governatrix", she had to become a "drifter"; also, maybe her pre-Scratch self felt purposeless, drifting aimlessly through life?)
Darkleer: cT: ??????
citizensTelos? (Telos: ancient Greek term referring to the ultimate Purpose of a thing and the fulfillment thereof; its Reason For Being; the end for which it exists. Ties in nicely with the "personal desire" vs. "societal obligation" conflict that characterizes both Darkleer and Equius.)
Dualscar: cA: ?????? (covetous courter cavalier admirer angelshark ????)
covetousAdmiral? commandingAdmiral? commandingAdmirer? cavalierAdmiral? corsairAssailing? (Oh dear gog that's a horrible pun. Assailing=a-sailing, but also attacking...and given that Dualscar actually was an infamously aggressive pirate, and the seadweller tendency towards punning, that actually works well for him. Huh.)
edit: also Dad Egbert has that PipeFan413 name but it's not a trollian-formatted name, so should I find him a new one? Pff he'd likely go with pipeFan, but idk, I kind of want him to go with E and B words so he matches John's second screenname. But... zero ideas.
egBert?
No one ever accused Dad of being creative.
Alternatively...excellentBaker (much to John's horror)?

Ohh, good idea re: the serkets. I had a collection of a-starting words for her too... :acquire affected abduct appropriate adventure allure asset AppropriateGlory might be a fun pun because appropriating means stealing, but the first meaning is still a bit too proper-looking, even if on second look it's def. not. I dunno about that one.
I love the Dolorosa's! SOLD. And Darkleer, ooh, the Telos thing. Not as sure about the citizen part, it's neat but not ZING, if I could fit in a horsepun it'd be awesome. I'll think more about that one. it could work well 'nough.
re: dad, a friend suggested everBaker. XD I'm going with that one, i think.

tA:
- twistedAdvent (both of his lives were "twisted"/doomed for failure since the beginning)
- torturedAdaptor (both for the science pun and the "one who adapts" aspect)
- tellingAbstract (I just like the contradiction)
- terrifyingAmbrosia (do not eat the mind honey~)
or, tornAsunder might work? That's probably too easy. >_>
As for a horse pun for Darkleer, the only C ones I can think up are corralling or coltish (ha. "Energetic but awkward in one's movements or behavior").
cA:
- cruelAscendant
- corruptedAttendant
- capriciousArchangel
- convolutedAmbition
...argh, Dualscar, why so hard to come up with names for. >_>
And I like garrotCorrector for Redglare! It does match well with Terezi's name. Either that, or something like... gruesomeCalculator? gallivantingCoroner? (Gallivanting: "To go around from one place to another in the pursuit of pleasure or entertainment." Coroner: "An official who holds inquests into violent, sudden, or suspicious deaths.")
Can't think of much of anything for Mindfang either, except maybe ancestralGlory? Maybe to be like "NO IT WAS ME, ME THE ANCESTOR ME WITH THAT *REAL* GLORY, THANKS"
Edit: Oh, and I just thought of "accrueGlory"? (Accrue= A Crew. Pirate puns, oh I slay me. Time for bed)
