I believe we're all made of stardust. (I've never in my life believed I was meant to be born on this planet and can recall the moment my consciousness "met" my body) I was originally anonymous and chose to use a picture that was a nod to those sentiments. A Dancing Star Goddess. There's other stuff but that's the basic gist. Here's my original avatar photo.
It suits me. I've always danced to the beat of my own drum for sure.
I had the nickname of Dragon, which I used as Dragon56 on both Yahoo Answers and EP, and for a few years on SW. They had a day to change your username, and I went with DragonFruit....to signify that I was still Dragon, but that I was also not straight (what some would call a "fruit").
All though my pic is a pipe smoking chimp because I like it. I picked up the nickname Gibbon because I howled like one in the hallways of high school during class changes. And I use to talk to them at the zoo and they would entertain me talking back. It was also my nickname in the many bowling leagues I was in for many years. It wasn't my name on EP however even though I used the same PFP. I used a few there all forgotten.
Patiently waiting is a cheeky reference to a hidden part of myself. I have a medical fetish so I'm waiting patiently to be a play patient. I also love to play with words 🙂
It was meant to be a stage name if my band in high school ever took off (We had a whole 1 session together so obviously we didn’t😝) JRV is my actual initials and my last name roughly translates to “Guard” so Vanguard made sense
Spectral mourning describes a profound, often ongoing grief where the dead remain present, refusing to fully "pass over," creating an unresolved, haunting relationship between the living and the dead, common in literature, philosophy (Derrida), and real-life situations like collective trauma (financial crises, political violence) where closure is impossible.
