can you all explain your username meanings? im curious

excellent question! i (user astrobi) have said this on my personal blog a couple of times i think but my own ao3 username just comes from a brief space obsession which just happened to coincide with me deciding to change my username in 2018 LOL and also my ongoing bisexuality which is probably more permanent than the username. in my head i pronounce it kind of in the same intonation as like. pastrami? (aSTRObee) so like do with that what you will i guess. also my tumblr is different bc astrobi was taken :/ (as of july 2018) so i just added another letter

thea’s user is, to quote queen maggie stiefvater, “a fortituous combination that focused both of the objects of thea’s worship into one username.” namely, will byers (wise) and adam parrish (atom) (which is what chainsaw the raven calls him). also a very roundabout way of saying 1. i should finish reading the raven king before she kills me and also 2. that there is a reason her blog title is “sad guy enthusiast”

as for andi, here is what my best friend in my phone has to say about it:

speaking from observation she will probably wither away into a husk and die if she doesn’t write so this was so true of her (nods)
