So, erm, hello! I'm Ansemaru, I used to lurk around the comments section and now I lurk around ballp.it! My hobbies include using the podcast to inoculate myself against the true horrors of the internet, staring in disbelief at tumblr, drawing, and giving the F+ my money.

Ansemaru up ins. Welcome.

Hey! Welcome!

Hello! Since I'm curious, and if you don't mind me asking, what does your username mean? Is it Japanese, from an ("plan") + semaru ("to compel")? I'm a bit of an armchair, amateur linguist and was just curious. :)

I'm gonna go with it being what that guy who owns the box cat mumbles after he's had too much to drink and is trying to talk to his cat.
"An... answer... ansemaru, dammit. shtupid cat."

It doesn't mean anything in particular! It was a name I came up with when I was like... 11 because I wanted a username on Deviantart that didn't have any numbers or dashes or filler letters in it, so I cobbled together Japanese syllables into something that sounded cool. I was dimly aware that the "maru" ending was a common name ending, and the rest...
Well, I like both of your answers.

You can get saddled with worse handles joining DA at 11. Welcome in!

This is completely unrelated, but the mention of "maru" just reminded me: Anyone else remember the Nevada-Tan (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/nevada-tan) thing? Battle Royale, Japan, a school slaying, and an underage female in the middle of the whole thing? The Internet engages Creep Factor 5.

.......goddammit, internet. God fucking dammit. Though considering people think it's fun and cute to claim infamous school shooters are among their headmates, I don't think I should at all be surprised.

The mention of the word maru reminds me of the adorable cat who loves boxes. It is good to see that the internet has not yet completely broken me.

I'd forgotten about that, but how the hell does "maru" remind you of that and not the box cat?

This is the f plus - we're all sort of broken, I'd think.
