LOL well in reality Laufey was Loki's mother. He's one of those rare ones who have a matronymic instead of a patronymic. Aside of that Laufey also means "leaf island" (= a kenning for a tree) and is a rather ordinary girl's name in Iceland.

I actually used the name Laufey in a story I wrote (pre SSSS) for the main character's doll. It was a bit odd to see it on here at first, but now I'm used to it. (Also I have like a bunch of different names for you in my head due to that blog thing so I have to keep reminding myself that you're not two different people... )

I've had several people say they imagine me as Emil. Cue gender confusion

I did before I knew Sonas were a thing

[Fimbulvarg]

I remember my first days on the forum, when I was just getting to know everyone, and as I read the posts, I would go:

"Ok, here's Haiz, here's Curry, here's Sunflower, here's... Loki's dad?"

(I must say, Laufey, it took me some time to get used to your username)

As for you, I've gotten into the habit of calling you Lilo in my head because your avatar looks sort of like that girl from Lilo and Stitch.

Like... something personal they haven't already mentioned online? Good luck.

You told the one person that couldn't be blackmailed? Clever move mister fox.

waterboarding it is

Sunflower probably has blackmail material on everyone, I think. (myself included)

Pfft, I doubt that a lot in my case.

It's hard not to, even now.

Well, we did just established she's a sentient vase of sunflowers with an ethernet cable. Who knows what she's capable of?

I always find it impressive how she keeps up with EVERYTHING happening on the forum. When she was the one organizing the Promotions Celebrations, she would always write a little something about everyone, and it was a little scary. You thought you were a nobody, and that Sunflower doesn't pay attention to anything you write? SHE DOES.

Well, that's new.
Now that you said it, I think she does look like Lilo a bit.

Note to self: acquire blackmail material on Haiz.

Well, if it helps any, I have heard that beneath their respectable, mild-mannered exterior working in a reputable hotel, Haiz actually does some pretty wild things over on the whatchamacallit... Internet.

In fact, I hear there are pictures.

[SectoBoss]

Yes, most of them drawn by Haiz.

I'll bet most people in the comments still don't know I'm a girl. I've only ever mentioned my gender to correct people on it.

Ha, I'd actually rather people think of me as Emil.

_{enough that I've considered buying a blonde wig for meet-ups}

That's happened to me, but my avatar is a guy so I'm not surprised.

*googles waterboarding*

Waterboarding is a form of water torture in which water is poured over a cloth covering the face and breathing passages of an immobilized captive, causing the individual to experience the sensation of drowning

Well, if it helps any, I have heard that beneath their respectable, mild-mannered exterior working in a reputable hotel, Haiz actually does some pretty wild things over on the whatchamacallit... Internet.

"respectable, mild-mannered exterior" would imply i'm not flailing around awkwardly. which is what i actually do
......and tell you guys about it afterwards

Two avatar changes ago, someone on the forum thought I was a girl because of my icon... which was also a drawing of Emil. So who knows.

I showed my mom some fanart I drew of various SSSS characters and she thought they were all girls

I guess Mikkel wasn't on that list then?

Well, there has been so much confusion about the characters genders that using them as avatars now say exactly nothing about you.

[viola]

No it was Lalli, Reynir, and Emil

I went to an SSSS meetup and everyone there -- including the ones I thought were boys -- were all girls.
