I finally saved up enough CSC to be able to change my username! I can't tell you how long I've been trying to do that! It's a relief to finally be rid of my old name, Mayonaka, which is Japanese romaji for "Midnight". I picked that name out when I first joined Subeta all the way back in 2008, when I was only fourteen and still way more of a weeb than I am now. A ton has happened since then quite a bit more than just simply growing up. While in a lot of ways I'm the same, in a lot more I am very different. I've always made a point to symbolically change my usernames with the different phases of my life. While it's a habit that started originally on DeviantArt I've expanded those usernames to other sites as well because it's not just about who I am as an artist, but who I am as a person.

FairestMoss is the most recent name I've chosen, and until I can choose a new name for myself in real life, I've decided that's the screen name I'm going to be sicking with everywhere. My past screen names on Deviantart have all done well to depict my own personal rise and fall, mostly into and out of depression as I've had to face death multiple times in my life. My current/new screen name is probably the least bombastic of the bunch, representing life and beauty in a more subtle way. Not an amazing blossom of new life or representational of the futility of death, but something that simply is, something that is beautiful for simply being.

Like I said, it's a huge relief to finally be able to change my username here. The reason I've decided to tell you guys these things however is mostly because I know that it can be quite confusing for people you know to change their username. It's still me, and perhaps it doesn't matter that much to some of you, maybe not even most of you since I don't generally talk to people, but I thought it was the right thing to do.

Also, happy holidays, everyone! I hope everything's going wonderfully for you all. ^^

Somehow, before I clicked the ping link I felt it was you who'd change the UN! I guess the perception is not just for yourself, but for people that have been accompanying your journey even if just from afar, like I do! <3

Congrats on the UN, it's really cool and suits you very much! ^_^

Neat! And yeah, I'd like to think so for sure. Names have a lot of power, after all. ^^ Thank you! <3

Okay, thank you! I wasn't sure where it was supposed to go.

No worries! And congratulations on your new name, as well. <3

HEY! My gosh, it's been a while, hasn't it? Congrats on the name change! I'm glad you were able to save up and get the name you wanted! c:

Uni has gotten the better of me, so I've been busy, and honestly just didn't feel like talking D: Sorry for that.

How are you? Doing good, I hope! ^^

Congrats on the change! <3

Happy for you, it's a good, bright name!! : )

Congrats on the name change. :)

Thank you, all! ^^ <3

It really has been! No need to worry about that though, I've not exactly been very talkative myself. I can understand getting swamped by uni, but I'm glad you're working hard at it. I hope it's not draining you too badly!

At the moment actually I'm having some trouble with anxiety, but it's getting better at least. Things are most definitely improving in the big picture, though!

Aw thank you! c: I did drain me, but I get a break between semesters so I'm re-charging at the moment, haha.

Aw D: Well you can talk to me about it if it helps! c: I'll always be here to listen. I'm glad to hear that! ^^

Congrats on the new UN and the new phase of your life :)
