omg where is part 2
just lay it on me i'm SHAKING

[Hugamari]

For those who don't get the story:

It's a dramatic retelling of what actually happened.

Basically, I combined the 2 names mentioned in my entry because those were 2 names of characters that I had liked. My friend and I used to ~*~be creative~*~ outside and played games based off of various games/shows, and I went by 'Hugamari' for these games. Or.."my adventures".

Later, when I got older and finally got access to the internet, I was lost for a name to choose for myself. (I have an old youtube called inserthree and a pogo account called someguy432 ) It wasn't until I remembered the name I made up for myself, 'Hugamari', that I decided to make it my trademark.

That story...needed spicing up imo, thus the dramatic story. Basically, that story is the truth, but with a "fairy-tale" telling.

Oh, and the fictional land is pronounced U S of A

[Melvin]

I'm not ready for my commentary...

A cute, funny entry. I wouldn’t have thought to associate you with ATRL’s humorous side, but now I won’t forget.

Originally posted by Domino

To be quite honest, I didn’t pronounce your name like Mmm, Minaj. I rather said.. M M Minaj which is awkward. That’s why I didn’t get what’s so funny about it… But it’s a clean looking entry, so that’s good..

I've always wondered about your name. It sounded like a mashup of your favorite artist and your favorite condensed soup slogan. This explanation is way better than what I had in mind. Not sure what Latch his kiss is doing in your entry but sure.

That damn kiss of the lips at the end of your entry. It reminds me of the younger days when a female relative whom you haven’t seen in a while, goes in for a deep kiss with their red lipstick and leaves a stain. I remember the first time I saw your name, I always thought of it as the suttering Nicki stan. I then thought it was kind of cool because Nicki often stutters her lyrics for affect. I’m kinda upset my understanding of the name isn’t actually the inspiration for it, but the actual inspiration is nice. I don’t see the humor in the name, except with my original thought for the name, but that can come with the actual posts to then be associated with the name. It does stand out with the multiple M’s, I will give you that as well.

DANCEHALL

I love Robyn, so I love that you have a username honoring her. It feels so perfect for ATRL—a seemingly general but distinctive reference to reveling in music, which is exactly what this site is all about.

Originally posted by Domino

"Dancehall Queen does not have any particular inherent meaning." gave me ARTPOP tease. I liked your entry but I quickly noticed that you’re sticking to the same formatting like you did for the applications. Let me give you an advice, which is: change it up every time. It can get boring quickly.

Jesus, DQ... here we are. I'm not even sure what to say about you so

I like how it doesn’t really have a meaning, but then yet again I don’t like how it doesn’t really have a meaning. I’ll be honest; I was excited to see what the inspiration behind your name was. Now I’m a little disappointed. I was waiting for the ‘I use to love dancehall music and every time I heard it, it would turn me into a QUEEN.’ Your name already stands out and you have already made a name for yourself with it, so trying to switch it would be entirely pointless. I did enjoy and appreciate the testimony for another member about your name. It gave another point of view to how others see your name as well.

EMRI

The problem I find with usernames that simply regurgitate a member’s stan identity is that they all seem to become an indistinguishable mass after a while. You showed a little more personality in your explanation, but it’s still lacking that pop of originality. Hopefully you’ll find it throughout the rest of this competition.

Originally posted by Domino

Enric? Never heard of that name. Well this is kind of lackluster. I expect a lot from you, fellow navy. So step up your game.

Originally posted by Katie

This is what happens when basic names go bad. Great work and all but the name itself should go.

Originally posted by Matty

I will personally say I appreciate that you have acknowledged the fact that usernames have quite some importance in being a member, and the fact that your name isn’t entirely unique. While we’re being honest EmRiNavy isn’t that unique and doesn’t necessarily stand out from the rest, but you are on the right track. I think you could greatly benefit to a name change to Emri as it will still include the two artists that you love, but it could also count as a cover-up name. Emery, the name, is very unisex, so Emri can be the same way but with an extra meaning. I appreciated the meaning and your honest thoughts to your name.

REGINA

Originally posted by Supaspaz

Never would I ever look down upon anything associated with Mean Girls—and certainly, your rationale for naming yourself after such an iconic queen bee is impeccable. But you really are going to need to step it up with the effort or you won’t be long for this tournament.

Originally posted by Domino

I don’t know if this is a joke or not. But what I know is that it’s a hot mess. You clearly didn’t inform yourself by looking at the past cycles. A one sentence entry? Yes, you made it compact I know why you chose it. But still, this is no effort.

Originally posted by Katie

I plan to put as much effort into my judging as you put into creating your entry. I still love your name but something like that will not go over too well in ANTM standards.
(The above judging contains as many words as your submission.)

God, I just want more! It is simple and to the point, but I just want more depth to the explanation. There are very few females here on ATRL and I wish this was stronger. I feel like you are trying to pass with your personality more than anything. That personality, this sort of bitchy personality, matches your username, but can be a true turn off. You barely sold yourself in the application portion, and now seeing this, makes me question if you really want to be in the competition.

HERMES

Originally posted by Supaspaz

Naming yourself after your favorite artist is only a slight step above naming yourself after your stan base in the memorability department, and it’s a couple of steps lower when it comes to originality. But you stood out to me from the moment you sent in an unsolicited mod application, especially with your flawless graphics. I’m glad you’ve rebranded yourself with an identity that could help you rise to become a top member. I would do a way with a couple of those descriptors, though; five is just too much of a mouthful.

Originally posted by Domino

For some reason you always screamed MONAAAYYY.
That being said, I loved your entry. It’s probably my favorite one in the bunch. I like the fact that you came up with a new username and talked about finding a new you. That’s exciting and I wanna know more.

Originally posted by Katie

Hermess.

So, Herpes, dammnit I mean Classy HERPES, how much are you getting paid for the three month Hermes plug in for ATRL? It’s honestly a nice name, but you said it yourself, people know you as NICKIMINAJ! You have constantly been changing your name, but you always come back to NICKIMINAJ. That says a whole lot. You don’t have to change your name to represent a new Journey, it’s all about your actions and the way your present yourself. Change perceptions based on the name, don’t change your name for a new perception.

JONE

Originally posted by Supaspaz

Your username is straight out of another era of ATRL. It makes me so instantly nostalgic for the old days that I can’t help but kind of love it.

Originally posted by Domino

Very detailed explanation of every little part of your username. I have always asked myself what your username stood for. However, it was a little tiring to read and I really don’t understand why there is a HUGE gap between the logo and the question!?

Originally posted by Katie

I've always wondered where your name came from. It's very 2005 forum chic but that may just be your YTT association. Liked the entry.

Originally posted by Matty

The hearts do make your name stand out, but it does give a great bit of tackiness about it. It may seem cute, but it becomes a bitch for PMing you. Okay that was just me giving a hidden rant when trying to PM you for the challenge. I appreciate the progress of your name, and like I said the hearts do help make the name stand out, but I feel it could better. I would love to possible see it as jONE, I think that would be pretty cool and stand out… or J.ONE. One last thought, a username that included your name and two of your cousins… did ya’ll share the account?

MIMI

Originally posted by Supaspaz

A whole multimedia presentation! I love it. I also love that you owned up to whatever shortcomings you feel your username may have without resorting to self-pity; your post had a disarming humor that genuinely made me laugh. It’s strange, though; you’ve always stood out to me as a member, regardless of where your username is “basic” and “uninspired.” Maybe it’s the signature blue font and attitude to spare.

Originally posted by Domino

Oh my god it started out so cute until I read "MiMi****ingLamb.“ Well mess. So you don’t like your username but it’s a part of you? I am not sure if I understood your entry, to be honest. You need to be more precise.

Originally posted by Katie

I don't think so.

Originally posted by Matty

Wait, first thought. A username called MiMiLamb on a forum about body building. WHAT!? Like I’m just imaging all the Gaga & Matty High School style bullying that had to go on in that forum with your name like that. Now, your name kind of has the same tendencies of that of Emri’s. However, I find that your name is perfect and doesn’t need to be changed. I am glad you have that personal connection with it that you do not want to abandon yourself with it. You have made a name with it and make it stand out with your attitude and personality.

In some minutes, we will find out who has been eliminated from the competition!
