your new name is nice! was there any inspiration or impetus behind the change, or did it just feel right?

A couple factors...! You know when I first started going by Bird, it wasn't my name IRL, but now it's been so many yaers, essentially it has fully integrated into my life... And I must say, it kind of feels odd to go by what I hear IRL constantly?? I wonder if it's just how my brain is trained but, I don't actually want to be referred to online by the same thing I hear from like, medical staff ww, it doesn't feel 'quite right'...

Though really, he is the sort of boy who likes to change names in general, like a new coat of paint. I like to have multiple names too... Lately I also like going by 雨井 (Amai), which can be shortened to Ame or Ama freely. Kind of sates my Amane kinnie brain, and is cute and flexible enough for JP spaces. He likes the thought of being called LOOM as well... purely theoretical but, he thinks of such things!
