Lensflare17682274dI knew about the kiki/bouba effect. I just didn‘t know you wanted to make a 4 years long joke about it.
Also, it feels like you have that nickname for longer than 4 years now. -

Lensflare17682273d@netikras if it’s reserved then it’s not the name that kiki had. Changing a name is done by changing it in the account and not creating a new one. Looks like someone wanted to mock her.

netikras34916273d@Lensflare i'm pretty sure that's the name tho. Google for "site:devrant.com @uyouthe"

Lensflare17682273d@netikras but google will give you only the devrant posts with the updated name, kiki, even if those old posts were made when kiki had another name. If you want to search for her old name, you’d need to use some archive search engine.

Lensflare17682273d@netikras ok I see, the mentions are not updated. So it is uyouthe indeed. So someone took that name away now :)
It's been four years. It is time.
My nickname is a pun. There was this thing called “bouba/kiki effect” that demonstrated the linguistic perception of two MEANINGLESS words. So, I jokingly made them mean something. What's the most primitive, most basic meaning imaginable? Yes, it's “good” and “bad”. So, “kiki” is “good”, and “bouba” is “bad”. Done.
My code is straight up kiki.
Your code is always bouba.
