My friend in middle school suggested for my email account that it should be sarah + er (for my middle and last initials) + tist. I took that and reworked it
I sadly stuck to the Homestuck handle rules and came up with CongestedCryptid
I always loved Cryptids growing up and assumed this would be a fun way to convince people to make it my nickname (No one has EVER called me Cryptid to this day)
I used to add little details to my art with copper paint. Then I drew a broken down marionette as part of a fairytale collection I made, which I then used as my profile picture on socials. Now The Copper Doll is a reoccurring character of mine and I am creating a comic that tells her story 🧵🪡💕

The crow part i added later bcs they can hold grudges for more than a decade and i love them
It would be pronounced Krouven, like a coven, since W sometimes sound like a V in my first language
or 2 of them lmao

It stuck, so I’ve been known as Ako online ever since
I'm trying to find a new one, cuz it hits way too close to home in recent years. 😬
made a big list of "deer word + space word" type usernames til I found something that sounded nice ^^
but then there just had to be someone who had that name first so I added my favorite letter in the mix to be original
