It may be a little dramatic to make a journal about changing my username, but keep in mind, I've been WingedHippocampus for eleven of the twelve years that I've been on DA. This is kind of a big deal for me.

It also took a lot of agonizing to come to the decision, because what tiny recognition I have is under that name.

But...

It's too damn long and cumbersome. It doesn't fit in a lot of fields on other sites, like FR. It won't fit in any of my 3DS fields. It's a pain in the ass to type out. Also, it's associated with parts of my life that I've grown past, positive and negative, from my true debut into the adult world, to dead friendships, to fandoms I'm just not really a large part of anymore. It's time to be recognized for something else, and as someone else.

What did it mean? I spent a lot of time in school drawing winged merhorses. I became enamored with the name WingedHippocampus's double meaning, too. It could also mean a part of the brain, and the idea of it being winged was like imagination taking flight.

Omnicenos is less poetic, it roughly translates to 'eats all'. Not a literal interpretation of me, as I'm a notoriously picky eater. But I am always open to ideas, as much as I can be, I want a little bit of everything to become a part of me. And yes, like my first account made here twelve years ago, it's also a character of mine (no, I do not consider it my persona, considering he's a soul-eating monster from between the dimensions, that would be creepy.) More importantly, the name is shorter, and the name is new...and will probably outlast the character anyway.

Will I change my name again after this? Maybe. We'll see what time and experience brings.

So, there you have it. Thank you for these twelve years, and I hope you continue on with me as you did before.
