Posting it here to not needlessly-fill the discussion thread.

Being called that by a random asshole made me start thinking about my numerous conversations I've had on both this and other wikis, and I became ashamed by how I thought I acted. Like an idiot, an immature fool, and so on. I didn't want to remember it anymore. Him saying it was a Weaboo name made me truly think it over, and I realized that the name I gave myself when I was 12 just sounded cringy to the current me, and reminded me of a time of my life I don't want to remember. .......So, in other words, you're Lightning

..................One carries their old life with them everywhere they go, just like how a turtle carries their own shell on their back. Changing your name only changes your name. You still are who you are, whether you like that or not.

You are BlizzardDragon, and just as much, you are KingFubuki and any other name you used before, after or alongside those. A change in username is not a change in your own being. It's a change of mask, not a change of body or mind.

Trying to pretend and hope KingFubuki never was a thing is foolish and futile. All you can really do is accept that it was. Which leads me to the next point:

You should not look at the name "KingFubuki" with shame and sadness over how "inmature, foolish, cringey" or whatever you used to act back then. Instead, you should look at it with happiness and pride, knowing that since those days, you have learned, you have grown, and as such became a better, more mature person.

A change of name doesn't change who you are. But who you are can change.

(And now, I hope Wikia doesn't screw up this post....)
