opinions of a non-mafia player:

powerhouse sounds better than funhouse. title's fine; the pinturiccio reasoning is pretty good. if they have a history of being a strong mafia player, it'd be great. just don't think "because badass" is solid enough reasoning.

actually going to
2nd "For Whom the Bell Trolls"
(any capitalization) because again, non-mafia player, whose only impression of Jingle
is
definitely "nonsensical/troll-y". having a relevant username does help the title.

nth creative commons



what about
Stream of Consciousness
for Formerfish? if he does this type of thing often (even to a lesser extent), it's a better title for fitting his overall posting style, plus it's still a nod to the specific moment from his next post in that game (I don't know myself, I'm basing this off / itt)

just spitballin'

not necessarily disagreeing

was just seeing if there was significant venn diagram overlap in all-encompassing/single-event-reference, instead of having to choose between the circles, so to speak

as someone who doesn't know formerfish well

as the one suggesting it, it was
Wolf in Deep Clothing
for the record

Deepwolf in Sheep's Clothing
is also fine

whichever

[edit] the other titles are also fine

Emotion Picture is fine

What about
Recommended for you
? The video responses are always relevant and reflects more positive connotations than titling someone for 'emotional posting', but I guess Nancy's opinion/perspective on that is more relevant than my opinion so shrug.



also it kinda rhymes (nth-ing 'Recommended for you 39' in advance btw)

no rush bc I know mastina has more important things to prepare for (again assuming worst case scenario re:above) but while we wait


been tanking on this for -checks notes- two months (well longer tbh but actively this time for two months)

nominate
esuriospiritus
for:

I Reject Your Corporeality

or
I Reject Your Corporeality...


---

Spoiler: thought process/other ideas
so... few months ago, my brain was trying to think of good esurio titles. I believe
Brainbow/Taste the Brainbow
was suggested at some point. that one's fine.

but for esurio, between the avatar and sig they had for a while, MS is the place I'd most see the word '
corporeal
' (you do know you can't kill ghosts? we're sorta incorporeal and stuff'), so I wanted to do something with that for sure.

corporeal means to do with the body as opposed to the spirit. esurio
spirit
us. it's a good start, right?

Corporal Corporeal
- alliteration is cute but I don't have a reason for the military reference (other than something something favorite title on the Citadel).

Corporeality Check
was better but I couldn't quite parse my thinking for that one.

So then in seeing what types of thought spaghetti would stick to the brain wall, the 'mythbusters' quote came to mind immediately and I think it fits alright.


so, the 'original' quote's a kinda famous one from mythbusters - "I reject your reality, and substitute my own"

or so I thought; it's actually from The Dungeonmaster - a cult classic type movie about someone who builds a sentient AI. regardless of the origin, I think it's closest to fitting esurio (they do know how to code, minor relevant point here!)

not only are they great at adapting to situations and working within the bounds of certain restrictions, but they always seem to be able to adapt quickly. and even when things don't go the way they want, they try to find a way to make their current situation work or find a path to adapt. it's a very constant-positivity viewpoint, and I think esu exudes that a lot without really realizing it sometimes.

believe their username is latin for 'hungry spirit', which is another 'actively searching' type of personality descriptor that meshes with their ability to adapt to most situations when needed. I reject your corporeality, and substitute my incorporeality. ghosts and stuff. ooooooo. -fades-

anyway

idk if any of these ideas work but I really like this suggestion so feel free to yell about if it looks better or worse with ellipses
I liked the dots in theory but maybe not

I feel like the title is okay but it feels like it's leaning too much on Heaven Scent than its own merit. and I'm usually all for puns.

like is Nancy a Britney fan in particular because if so, sure, slam dunk

I suggested Recommended for You but I'm more 'meh' on that now, because I feel like there's something better.
