Psyche's current title is solid, but I feel this one is also fitting and updated to his current antics.

I think this title is kind of rough on psyche considering one of his last efforts as title fairy was to make a robot title fairy and everyone bullied him out of it

But I might also have trapped myself into thinking any psyche title nom at this point as being necessarily related to his title fairy tenure


Hi DRK it's my job to naysay all titles I look forward to working with you
This is a fair point.

That was my take too.

He's kind of the epitome of someone who just plain
cares,

This was serious.

Nom Elbirn for Quality Assurance Inspector #23.


QA Inspector is an okay abbreviation if the full thing is too long, not sure what the limit is.

23 is an objectively funny number.

It's a reference to the "This garment inspected by Inspector #___" sticker in clothing.

I love TW, and I think we can do better. This feels like a cop-out title, and the cutesy factor makes it really not work for me.

It's also pretty one-dimensional, which I'm not a fan of. It's a surface-level reference.

And we can literally attach any adjective to Duckling as long as it sounds good.
Amiable Duckling.

Any of the last three work, I particularly think
Friendly Duckling
is about right. Snuggly/fluffy is more superficial and saccharine than tw actually is. A defining trait is his amiability and openness to new friendships, and while we can get a bit silly sometimes, he knows time and place, and when to put on his game face.

How about
Happy as a duckling
?

PE: This is not just an avatar title. DRK is right, tw, is a real-life duckling.

1) Pine really likes dad jokes, encapsulated in the title.

2) It encapsulates a memorable site moment which also happened to make Pine a lot more widely known, which turned into its own thread and was insanely poplar.
I actually really dislike most dad jokes. Maybe I'll grow into it.

I prefer my current title, would decline.

SKrew is also right. It really doesn't fit me in pretty much any way. Thanks for the consideration though!

Also I should really update that thread. Pinecone's coming up on two months now, and lots of delightful stuff has happened.

Tbh
Anti-nom anything related to the no zeroes thing
unless it's a facet of a more clever title incorporating several ideas.

It's an exceptionally weak premise for a title. Hiplop deserves better.

Y'all are trying too hard. Titles don't have to be deep and all-encompassing, but they oughtn't be trite or ephemeral.
