Okay, I'm trusting you on this. No "LORCALLIMAN", no "LTUWOCP", no "the wizard who shall remain nameless". And no mentioning him less because the name is awkward, either. LORCALLIMAN THE UNDYING WIZARD OF COSMIC POWER must be given his full due!

I think my vote is going to be for "Rock Paper Wizard". Unless you take a solemn vow to always (and often) call "LORCALLIMAN THE UNDYING WIZARD OF COSMIC POWER" by his full all-caps name every single time without fail (and correct anyone who rudely cuts it short), in which case I want that one.

Gotta be Tentacarl. I'm going to call him Tentacarl even if you pick something else.

But that's taken care of by the "U", right? If it's truly universal, then there's no stigma, because literally everyone gets it. (Some people would undoubtedly still look down on folks who *needed* it, but that's more private.)

That is exactly what makes this one work SO WELL.

(If this is a real question and not rhetorical, you could stick to your "Following" feed and then mute anyone talking about football until next week? I'm not seeing much NFL stuff here at all, so I know there are plenty of folks who are talking about other stuff.) (More depressing stuff, but still.)
