The Origin of the Name LunaticTactician

Aside from my rants, this post will probably make readers cringe the most.

So, "LunaticTactician". It's a rare username, seeing as the vast majority of usernames I see have either popular character names, commonly used words, and/or numbers in them, like "player4709", "YoSquid", and "FunnyPikachu582" (the last one is a random name I made up). Additionally, I rarely see or hear either "lunatic" or "tactic" in any of the media I read or listen to.

I never liked usernames in the past because of the aforementioned common usernames. I find them repetitive and ridiculous. That's why I used the name "Juliann" when I played Minecraft on singleplayer for the first time, and also in Pokémon Y.
(Admittedly, using my real name is much less original.)
Plus, I simply had a hard time thinking of a clever, original username.

Until I saw the media that influenced each of the two words in my current username.

Oh, boy, let's hope this doesn't suck.

Lunatic

This was influenced by Dean Ambrose, also known as the Lunatic Fringe.
Don't ask me for details on why I love him, but he put Kevin Owens through his own two-table stack during the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, and powerbombed Chris Jericho into thumb tacks during an "Asylum Match" in Extreme Rules, among other brutal strategies.
And he's fast and smart. I see him reacting very quickly to attacks and countering accordingly, even against veterans like The Miz.

I also think of myself as a lunatic.
One of my classmates in Multimedia Studies asked the class what weapon they would use in a zombie apocalypse. He commented on my answer by saying, "Only a self-proclaimed lunatic would use their fists to fight zombies. Like the courage and confidence though." Thanks again for the reply, kind sir <3
I also can't help but do inappropriate things in public and get furious at the slightest form of disrespect to myself or people I like. I even make rude gestures at cigarette smokers when they can't see me. (Okay, I was angry when I wrote the previous sentence)

Oh, by the way, I am SO crazy that I sacrifice myself, both virtually and in real life, in order to cut people some slack, while I do their work for them, whether it's solving a math/technical problem, or mowing down hordes of enemies all by myself.

Be careful when getting into a romantic relationship with me, because I'm an extremely supportive boyfriend.

Tactician

This is derived from the player character in Fire Emblem Awakening, whose class is Tactician.

Being a perfectionist and a video game addict, I have always brainstormed video game strategies and tactics, even as a little kid (but not as much as I do now).
