Yup! Added bonus of not likely to be "accidentally" copied anytime soon.

Gardens are places of cultivation, growth, beginning, experimentation, and display.

And the surname has to do with my heritage which like the root word traveled from Greece up into eastern Europe. There's so much more too!

TIL that scorpion junk looks like a certain winged golden ball from a terrible terf wizard book series.

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, & one song you can't stand.

-Taffy makes me gag
-Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
-Evanescence, "Bring Me To Life"

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, & one song you can’t stand:

- Cucumber anything. However you think it tastes, that is not how it tastes to me
- Farewell, My Concubine (Beautiful. Brutal. Once was enough)
- Collective Soul, “December”

I only even know about it because when I was researching my own wild clay here I stumbled on that factoid. We do also have bentonite if you head up a few layers of geologic time in the hills.

But yeah that's so frickin cool! Plus just digging up mud and making stuff out of it is so satisfying!

Fae Grigoryeva @gardenofgrigoryeva.bsky.social · 3d

Very cool. Ive heard the carolinas have a pretty high kaolin content. So lucky! I'm gathering my wild clay from the American SW so it's high in calcium as it's a cretatious era sea bed. Pit/low fire works haven't gotten access to a proper kiln to test it higher.

Oh wow that is super impressive for a wild clay!!

Very soon hopefully. I'm going to get a couple sleeps on some specific spellings. But soon.

Fae Grigoryeva @gardenofgrigoryeva.bsky.social · 4d

Updates on the whole name change thing. Ditched my last favorite because I fell down several rabbit holes last night. My past choice had a lot of *issues* I didn't realize were a thing. So nooope! But I found something better that sums things up and evokes several layers of meaning for me. Yay!

I'm only about 20 bucks away from this goal!

Fae Grigoryeva @gardenofgrigoryeva.bsky.social · 5d

Probably? And don't worry I'm not gonna block you it's not you. In fact you weren't even on the server I was. Just be glad you (and Zero) weren't on the same server as me. I did a lot for that community and as a reward I got demonized and doxxed. Looking back it was an absolute nightmare.

Fae Grigoryeva @gardenofgrigoryeva.bsky.social · 5d

Unfortunate block spree. Seeing THAT dead mmo popping up in my feed is just not gonna fly for me and I need to keep the poison of that community as FAR AWAY as I CAN GET IT.

That game served 3 things- get me away from my ex, break art block, meet partner.

Otherwise it was nothing but suffering.

I'm not really expecting anyone to be able to help me here (tho I would appreciate it) I'm more thinking out loud and explaining "yeah you remember months ago I said I was changing my username and it still hasn't happened yet?" 🙃

Fae Grigoryeva @gardenofgrigoryeva.bsky.social · 5d

The only troubles with this one is its a linguistic 30 car pile up. Nephilm is plural, Naphil is singular. Soo uh Nephilm's or Nephilms'? I'm meaning to say one cradle for all so 's then? Right? Then when it comes to web addresses I have to ditch the ' all together. nephilimscradle that looks weird.

Fae Grigoryeva @gardenofgrigoryeva.bsky.social · 5d

Theres a lot drawing on my heritage on that list some obscure some less so. I feel like a lot of them are too obscure. Right now Nephilm's Cradle is kind of my favorite. The children of the fallen watchers who taught mankind everything and a cradle as a place of beginning and creation? Seems to fit.

Fae Grigoryeva @gardenofgrigoryeva.bsky.social · 5d

The replacement name I want to be similar in concept. Something strange, changeable, compound (because I have such a wide skill set) and a focus on creating. Ive been researching like crazy, but in the months since Ive started I'm no closer. I'm open to suggestions. 😚

A scribbled sheet of name ideas. Some notable ones are Maker Fae, WildForge, and Nephilm's Cradle

I chose it because the root words are a funny take on "I make weird stuff" but now there's an ai "company", a subpar podcast, some 3d print shop (at least they actually make stuff), and probably a couple others. All came after me. Nothing I can really do about it but it's still plenty annoying.
