I AM A THIEF.

Hey guys! I am here to offer another... stolen meme courtesy of my boredom.

BASICALLY, just explain to everyone what your character's username means or why you made it. There are a lot of cool ones here and I want to see how you guys came up with it. Was it a quote? Was it funny at the time? Was it a really lame inside-joke that no-one but a few people would get?

Mine are as straightforward as straightforward can be. :|b BUT OTHERS ARE NOT. SO. YEAH. HAVE FUN.

deadly_garden Yay for having a hard time coming up with a username. I wanted things like "silverkitsune" or "rosekitsune" or just anything that was a play on roses, silver, foxes or plants in general. But of course every single name was taken. So I finally went to our Heiji and said "Hon, you're good at usernames, HALP." So she gave me deadly_garden. Kurama's a plant user when he fights and the final end theme has him walking in what looks like a greenhouse so... deadly garden it was.

grey_grief Haibara's name is interesting. It's actually an etymology joke in a sense. According to canon (Yes, they did discuss this) they chose Haibara's child name based on a couple of famous female detectives: VI Warshawsky and Cordelia Gray. The kanji for "hai" is gray, and for the "ai" kanji they chose "grief," which is pronounced the same as "love," which was the professor's preferred kanji. Apparently Haibara herself insisted on the "grief" meaning. Grey was chosen over gray due to her being half British (British peeps, wanna correct me on this because I've only ever been taught the "gray" spelling so if I'm wrong let me know). Et voila, grey_grief.

Grey is indeed the correct spelling.

Yay! Thank you! I'm always worried about my spelling.
