    my face when.



    -seriously though? i was fucking sick of "hellsing". i have been a member of this community for goddamn years since i was in my mid teens, im 23 now, what i thought sounded cool then- something i picked at random from a show i was watching at the time because i didnt want some bullshit with a string of numbers at the end- sounded asinine now. add to that most of you knew my name anyway, and im an honest bloke, not some internet tough guy hiding behind some persona i found the idea of any handle moot and pointless.
    -also Danny because any english bloke named Dan is a thick as pig shit hooligan in a track suit and every english guy named Daniel is a creep. the solution was simple. first day of school i introduced myself as danny and my parents just sort of shrugged and went 'guess thats his name now' and it stuck.

    I'm just scared now that we've started letting users change names the flood gates will open and senile old bastards like me will no longer be able to keep track of who's who.

    honestly i didnt want to kick that very thing off, but i had asked like a dozen times over the last year or so and i was so fucking sick of the name that seemed pointless anyway. not like i wanted something 'awesomer' because i was tired of my current handle yknow?

    Named after the kid in the Shining?



    Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

    It's cleary an elaborate meme that only he knows about ... he's gonna drip-feed it like a Dark Knight advertising campaign.
