I’ve been seeing a couple posts going around talking about how, in the latest episode, Arthur states he “doesn’t believe in anything after death” and how that doesn’t really make sense seeing as he’s been to the waylay. As an atheist, I’d like to put my two cents in if that’s alright!

Firstly, I’d like to talk about how important being an atheist is to Arthur’s character. After thinking about his past for just a bit, it becomes obvious that any sort of religious ideals Arthur vaguely followed was just to fit in (ie. marrying Bella). People like Daniel shoved religious values into to Arthur’s face for the longest time, and he clearly became resentful towards religion because of that.

Arthur’s lack in a religion, or even a belief in an afterlife, doesn’t necessarily come from a place of lack of proof. It comes from his own stance against a higher being. This is something I find quite relatable myself, as even if there was a form of irrefutable proof in a god, it wouldn’t change that I’m an atheist.

On the other side of things, even if Arthur needed to stop being an atheist after having irrefutable evidence, the waylay isn’t that evidence. He couldn’t remember it upon initial return, and when he eventually did, it’s not like the waylay couldn’t have been a temporary place after death or a circumstantial thing for Arthur himself. We as the audience may know that it’s not those things for the sake of plot, but Arthur wouldn’t.

As a sort of follow up, Arthur having proof that Faroe didn’t fully disappear also does not mean that he has to believe in an afterlife. Just because Faroe became a flame, does that mean everyone has somewhere to go after they die? To Arthur, probably not!

Again, while I think it can be argued that all of this can be evidence for Arthur to personally believe in the existence of an afterlife, I don’t think that’s the important thing here. Arthur’s atheism is a fundamental part of his character. For him to turn around, after repeatability finding his own meaning in his life by it lacking any meaning at all, and say “well hey there might be an afterlife there was that one time” would just be completely ill-fitting narratively. It’s the solidarity between Antoine and Arthur in this moment by not believing in an afterlife that makes the scene function.

I hope these points don’t come off as aggressive or patronizing, I simply want to put in my perspective as someone who finds Arthur’s form of atheism especially relatable and realistic ✨❤️

Tag game🎉

Tag your moots and ask them where they got the idea for their tumblr accounts name!

For my name it was a nickname I was giving back in middleschool! One of our teacher had a system where we worked with 'wifi' eachtime we talked in class we lost a bar of the "wifi" (was a weird joke and we never held count on that) All the kids usually joked if they needed 'wifi' , they would borrow mine if they wanted to talk more. (I was incredibly shy in middle school, I only talked to like 3 people at school;^;)

They called me Ms. Wifi because of that. I just thought it would be funny if I put 'miss' instead of 'ms' because of my terrible actual wifi connection I have at home lol.

That's my story! Now moots, only if you guys want to, tell us your story.

Tags-> @slipping-lately @firequeenofficial @noagskryf @twinklstarrrr @halfbakedspuds @polterwasteist @rokushi-san @mygedagtes +anyone that sees this and wants to do this as well

Wait, this is actually such a cool idea! Buckle up, ladies and gentlemen, cause this is a long story.

Cast your minds back, if you will, to a little over a decade, to little 8/9 year old Ashlley playing make believe with her best friend (of the time). We were playing superheros, and as little girls do, we wanted it to be realistic. So we each did a Buzzfeed quiz for what our powers would be.

Are you with me so far? Good, cause this is where it gets a little wild.

Now, I am not the best at coming up with names. "But Ashlley! You're a writer! You should be great!" FALSE! I have entire Pinterest boards filled with names I can warp when I need to name someone new. However, this was before the time of Pinterest, and I needed a name for my character in the game. I had to think quick. Luckily, I have a master's in bs'ing and a PhD in nonsense. Here was my thought process:

1. Lava makes ash.

2. Name related to ash -> Ashley.

3. Ashley is boring, double the l (was this some subconscious part of my brain deciding, if people are gonna misspell my real name, they may as well misspell my fake name? Perhaps.) -> Ashlley.

4. Make up a surname related to lava -> Lavira.

From there, I was Ashlley Lavira in every game, every daydream and every self insert. When I started going online via Pinterest and YouTube, my name was always some variation of Lady Lavira.

And then. The year that changed so many things for so many people. 2020.

This was the year I finally caved and let my sister sit me down to watch Marvel, and my second ever hyper-obsession was born (first was Harry Potter, third is Life Series/Hermitcraft).

I responded to Harry Potter by learning every fact there was to learn, to the point where I came this close to winning a Harry Potter trivia quiz just a couple of months ago. I've responded to the mcyt by writing angst and developing my short story skills and getting Tumblr so I could be active in a fandom for the first time. I responded to Marvel in an equally sane way: self-insert fanfic.

The problem came when it stopped being self-insert. It very quickly became clear Ashlley was developing her own personality apart from me, and with it her own backstory. She grew and developed almost by herself. I spent a good two years figuring out her 15-year plot, and as she became more and more her own person, she outgrew the name "Lavira" and became Ashlley Allen instead, at the same time changing her lava powers to fire. Like a snake shedding its skin, she abandoned the name Lady Lavira and took on the mantel of Fire Queen instead.

Naturally, I had to follow suit. I changed my names on accounts already created, and when I made new ones, I always went straight for FireQueenOfficial. (Except on minecraft, which threw a temper tantrum over letter count and forced me to shorten it to TheFireQueen instead lol)

There ya go! The full story xD. This was a lot of fun. People are always like, "Oh, it's cool that you shorten your name to Ash and then your thing is fire," and I just go, "....Yeah, the fire came first (in the form of lava but still lol)."

Anyway, tags! @stormyblueberry (I know where half of your name comes from, very curious about the other half) @pheonixvatoreii @appleblocks @lunaizglitched @mellioops (no pressure, ofc!)

ooh this is a good question, thanks for the tag!

so I was like 7-ish and downloaded a Minecraft knock-off called (I think?) world of cubes. There was one official server I would join that was completely roleplay based and it was a lot of fun. (I realized later it was a very toxic community and I will never go back) I had this obsession with the name Luna, so that stuck.

Now, when I was nine I got an iPad of my own and downloaded another knock-off called Multicraft, and I made so many friends there. I was on one server mainly, DreamLand, and that was a more serious server where people progressed on their own, there was PvP, mobs, mining, but it was overall a great community.

Now, this is where the “glitches” part comes in. My internet was bullshit. I would get kicked off so often (especially when my little brother unplugged the router and we didn’t know, thanks a lot) and it was honestly a struggle bus, but I made it work, and that was the name I stuck with when I then joined my next Multicraft server, Avalon. That carried over to Discord, Pinterest, Tumblr, everything, and lately I’ve been changing my screen name to Quinn due to my latest role in a school play and figuring my gender out!

tagging some moots, not forcing!

Umm...

My name is enda, I'm gay, and I'm trans.

@azurbright @green-mountain-goose @achilleanauthor

Oooh this is such a good question!!

So initially, my username was Azurite, and it was given to me by my best friend, and then I told him I needed something more distinguishable from other people if I was going to try doing youtube. I wanted a similar name, but we ended up coming up with Azurbright, and we created a whole persona for it. It was fun.

@auseryoumayknow @crispycheeto364 @oli-bird @sarcosmiiic @docjayfeather @lolitrix2002 @iris-the-illustrator

So silly :)

my username used to be something really different but one night I realised that my name was too recognisable since I didn’t want anyone I know finding out about these accounts. (Which has since changed) so I sat there, and decided I wanted something silly, something that could be hard to identify me from. At first it was “auseryoumightknow” because of the chance someone knows me, I can tell them “you might know me” but then I decided that “you may know” is better. Someone started calling me may, and that name got smacked on my intersona, but I’ve kinda grown to like it just how some people call me Cole. I didn’t really know how I felt about the name may until Mouse (love that guy) called me may verbally and it was just like. Wow, I didn’t know I liked being called that along with Cole

A little off topic at the end but hey

@iys-cloud @maela-the-menace @ihavehomework2dobutimhereinstead @jt-the-wurminator @sillynamelessguy

Ok, so my username was originally mayla-the-menace, because that was, at the time, my fursona. Eventually though, I had realized that I had given Mayla too much lore and separate personality for a character I wanted to basically just be me but magic cat, so I preformed mitosis and so now there’s Mayla the character, ruler of my fictional world and perpetually burnt out because of all the shit she has to deal with, and Maela, the blob cat that I use to represent myself online and in daydreams, who’s only separation from me outside of being a magical blob cat thing is that she’s able to consume hazardous materials. Mayla is aware of Maela and despises me because I gave her a bunch of bullshit work to do. I reply with “would you rather be completely all powerful and the center of attention constantly 100% of the time even more?” And she stops complaining. Imo nothing funnier than an oc aware of the fact they’re an oc, you should try it sometime

@iys-cloud @sillynamelessguy @chawsthetransfemdino @sylvia-and-xynia @arrowheadedbitch @taco-bee @bagelofchaos @oakthefrog

so, my nickname irl is 'nube' which is literally cloud in Spanish, and I wanted to implement it in my internet name sooo, at first I had used the url your-averege-cloud but shit happened and I ended up erasing that account off the face of the earth :}

So, I needed a new url, I wanted to go with Its_cloud but that was taken and I realized ' wait, I can just change its with another thing and it'll be original' and would you look at that I was RIGHT, so Iys-cloud was created and since then I use that username literally everywhere

and uhhh @arrowheadedbitch @skznccmlee @sotogalmo @rhymeswithchronic

HELL YEAH let’s do this. I’ve had a few over the years but I think my current one is the most interesting since there’s a few layers to it

Me and my brother, boyfriend, sister-in-law, and unofficial sister all have a story universe together. As in we have a massive original series where we all write in the same universe but use different times, locations, and situations. They’re all related and canon to one another.

We discussed for awhile how, when we get published, we’d like to have our books next to each other on shelves, but we all have very different last names. So we decided to look into a pseudonym that we could all use in front of our real names so the author is credited but our books all sit together on shelves.

The longest running one we had was Kranak, as an anagram of our main characters names.

I still use this name as my artist signature, actually, but I realized HUH. Everyone is gonna pronounce this wrong.

My addiction to Don’t Starve comes in. See, Klei Entertainment, the devs of Don’t Starve, host these streams called Rhymes with Play streams, in reference to how their name is pronounced. Mixed that with the pronunciation of Kranak and we ended up here! RhymesWithChronic :3

Bonk @amberqueen01 @written-in-the-stars135

Wrow ! Yippee !

Honestly?? AmberQueen01 is a very old username for me. I came up with it when I was younger, when my family got an xbox 360 and we had to make accounts for the first time.

My siblings all just wrote their actual names, but me, being a connoisseur of creativeness (and a watcher of mcyt content) decided to come up with a cool username.

Being so long ago I can only guess that this was my thougjt process, I can't actually remember. But 'Amber' is derived from my real name (which is not amber shock horror) and the 'Queen' part i prolly just slapped on cuz it sounded cool. Then put the 01 on the end because everyone knows that a good minecraft username has numbers on the end (according to ~7 year old me)

So I came up with AmberQueen01 and that's who I've been ever since. I grew attached to it I guess

Tag: @frostnova321 @marycom15 @eeyore4 @ghostkittypog @graevelabyss and anyone else who wanna join :]

yippee!! ty for the tag! :3

my name is both super old and also relatively recent! it all started in middle school when i was first introduced to minecraft. i had to make my first username! i was super into amylee33 at the time (if yall remember her!!), and loooved winter. i think around that time i had my first (and last- climate change smh) blizzard, so winter was On The Mind.

thus! Arcticwind33 was born

a couple years later, i don’t remember a lot of the details, but i grew tired of the username. i also got extremely into space! so, wanting to keep a bit from my original name, i merged both space and winter vibes into frost nova! (also i may have been influenced by a certain attack from dragon city as i used to play it a lot, but i cant remember so! yeah :3)

the 321 part was just because frost nova as a user is pretty common and i needed some numbers (plus my favorite number is 3 so shrugs)

oh also secret third thing: i used to go by nova! (and got annoyed when people would call me frost, even though it was the first part of the name LOL) i eventually gave up and embraced it, so here i am! Frost_Nova321 :3

taggin: @heyhelloitsmilo @zalcagon @caspercubed @skallyeen @lobo-and-steam @dazesanddoodles and anyone else who wants to join :3

I've had a number of usernames over the years: ShadowCat714, iiSkelecat, xLescat...one common theme between these is, obviously, that i clearly liked cats

and this username is no different

deeply rooted in my undertale phase, i sought to create an OC -- a skeletal cat, of course. and with being a skeleton, comes the need to be named after a font

i picked zalgo

you might know it as the "creepy" text, l̸̯̞͚̩̮̣͕̿̋̐̑͋̊͂̍̓̊͛͒͘̕i̴̦̮̜̳̰̇̊̎͑̋̊̓͛̋́̈̊̔̌̉͜k̴̡̤͎̮͓̟̩̝̣͓̜̻͌ẻ̸̢̬̖̠̗͔͈͔̮͐̔̂̊͑ͅ ̸̗͎͔̩͙͚͐̀̈́͂̋͂̈̂͂̉̇͐̇̆̆̕͝ͅt̸͙̊̓̆̀̐̿̈́̋͋͗̈́̽͆͒̚h̶̡̹͚̱̣̞̘̗͖̯͓̘̳͔̉̀į̸̧̛͈̻͖̣̭̹̮̫̥̩̝̖̓͑̓̾͂̌̅̚ṣ̴̠͉̪̳̠̗̟̿̐̔

at some point, i decided to create another new username, because of course i did. i was known as zalgo on discord, adopting that as my persona. my favorite animals are cats and, unsurprisingly, dragons. thus, zalgo cat dragon, smashed together to create Zalcagon

additional notes: 714 as in 7/14, my birthday. my First username was ema714. not my initials, but it does use some personal info so can't elaborate beyond that

i know most of my mutuals username origins except for @heyhelloitsmilo @caspercubed @lobo-and-steam and @keplerradiostat but if anyone else wants the excuse to yap then feel free :3

both of yall tagged me so tyyyyyy!!! <3333333 and ok so im only caspercubed on here cos casperilla was taken, but caspercubed is literally just.... casper + cubed becos.. minecraft has cubes....... and i like cubes 😭 Casperilla tho is a combo of Casper and Sarsparilla! i just like the word sarsparilla (and had a cowboy phase at one point) and Casper i just really always liked the name, but didnt use it for ages becos i thought ppl would only think of the ghost LOL, which sometimes they do still but like i still like it, and casper the friendly ghost is not the worst person to share a name with JKFGJK i cant rlly think of many ppl uh uh @mavratt @smallfrogpleasedtomeetyou (urs specifically is pretty self explanatory but if u wanted to say smth anyhow JKGFJKGFJK) here yall go!

Oooo thanks for tagging me!!

The name MavRatt came about from my name (Maverick) and Rat. Very self explanatory lmao.

I originally made it for a self insert story about streamers (I had to make a gamertag for myself). I never did anything with the story and its very cringe reading back on it, but the tag stuck.

I used to go by Sparrow (the name of my fursona) online, but after I transitioned I remade my sona and changed my name to Maverick! Surprisingly my fursona is not a rat, and even weirder is rats aren't even one of my favourite animals, I just have a history of my friends calling me "the rat man" because of my continuous jokes about being in their walls.

Also the 2 t's were a stylistic choice

And for the tag game, I'd love to hear the history of you guy's names: @mythicalmagical-monkeyman @thinesnazzyboi @thecatspasta

Pastaisme123 was my scratch name bc it was shared with mu brother and we wanted to name it smth we both liked. I took over the acc then later when making my yt channel I wanted to include my already established name pasta, and the fact I dtew cats mostly. So the thecatspasta was born

Uh @river-not-a-stream @fangfyreee @ashamazingg @pidgefudge @eviestardust

Oh god alright I’ll share-

When I was little I was reaaalllyy into Pokémon and wanted to involve “eevee” in my username. All fine and good but my studious younger self thought that was too boring. So what did I do?? Randomly pick the first Pokémon move I remembered, obviously. So “psycho cut” was brilliantly tacked on to the end of my username. I was so opposed to change for years online that I’m pretty sure you can still find “Eevee psycho cut” being credited in some sort of project. Eventually I just changed the spelling to “Evie” and tacked on “Stardust” instead because of my interest in astronomy. I don’t think the username is anything too special now, but it’s history is pretty funny

@siabk (yours is great) @daydreaming-rat-man @plaguepharmacist @maplesugardoodles

So my original username had my actual name in it, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I have a unique name with a spelling of it that is even less common. So, as I got older and learned internet safety I decided to change it. For some reason I wanted to use either a flower or spice in my name. So I scrolled on a website of different spices till I found maple sugar. I loved it and tacked on doodles because of my love to draw!!
