#I didn't include a link in the original post bc a) tumblr hates link posts b) I got the last set c) tumblr is ALSO notoriously US-centric

Help me name my character!

I'm on Reddit now (lol) and my second post is about my DND character, but I figured Tumblr might have some good suggestions too so I thought I'd crosspost here. If you don't want to click the link the text is as follows:

We're doing a modified version of the Curse of Strahd and my original character (who I hated anyway lol) recently died. I have everything ready for the new character (who I'm super excited to roleplay) EXCEPT the name. I randomly generated a name but I'm attached to this character now and want to come up with a better one before he's introduced to the campaign. Anyway, here are his highlights:

- Half-orc who looks human except he's got red eyes

- Scholarly background, which causes him to be estranged from his orc fellows because he's basically a giant nerd. He's also hella socially awkward

- Chaotic Evil alignment. I know this is hard to roleplay but basically he wants to be a lich. For anyone who doesn't know what that means (I didn't until my DM told me) basically he seeks knowledge above all else, including morals and humanity. For this game, my character wants to learn everything about everything and that especially includes vampires. Which means he will do whatever it takes to kill and do an autopsy on the most famous vampire, Strahd. Which aligns his goals with the party's goals

- Class is Druid, specifically (and here's my favorite part) a Swamp Druid. Which I've decided means he's got a Southern accent. I would do a Louisiana accent but I can't do that very well so I'm doing a Texan accent.

- He's got high strength bc I'm trying to be the party's tank (We've already got a cleric and a sorcerer so spells are minor) but otherwise has pretty average stats

His name currently is Dormak and the more I look at it the more I hate it so any ideas would be super helpful! Plus if you've got any suggestions for how I could play this character (I'm trying to come up with southern idioms I can whip out lol) or general comments those would also be welcome :) but no spoilers about the campaign, please! This is my first campaign that's gone longer than 2 sessions and I want an immersive experience lol

TL;DR: I have a half-orc nerd who comes from a swamp and I've gotten attached to him and need a good name that fits instead of the randomly generated name he has now

Rose, can I ask you about netiquette? A friend of mine is new to the internet, started a Tumblr, and likes to reblog fansite pics they have saved on their computer. They don't remember where they saved them from so don't know who to credit. And they told me they're getting hate messages and phising attacks from the original owners of the photos. They didn't remover watermarks, they just dont know where they saved them. I told them to delete their blog and start over but, WWYD? Hate spam is wrong

first of all im sorry for ur friend about the messages they’ve been getting. that always sucks 3

fansites are rough with credit and such--rightfully so. i think ur friend should try to use something like ‘reverse image search’ on google to find where the pictures are coming from so they can give credit. it’s a little hard for me to give more specific advice bc i dont know what the posts look like, but im guessing a “c. kingjonghyun” or whatever at the bottom of the post & a link to the tweet where the photo was first shared is what these fansites want to see...? it should be know to whom to give credit bc fansites write their fansite name on the photos themselves, so i would think that just rewriting it at the bottom of the post should do the trick.... as long as they’re not edited and stuff.

i think the best thing to do would be to start labeling all of the posts, and go back and relabel the old ones, but, truthfully... ive got to agree with u, the best idea might be to just start a new blog. as someone who’s received hate, it... doesn’t stop just because u stop doing whatever u were doing wrong/whatever that person doesn’t like. even if u go back and fix those posts it might not stop... but if ur friend doesn’t immediately want to jump ship, i’d think that going back and including credit/links to the original tweet and fansite on all of their posts and just waiting it out, seeing what happens is the best way to go.

best of luck
