my longest played dnd character's last name ended with -rage which name i then also used for my WoW days (before my / overlapping with my skz days) and i knew i wanted to keep that for my ao3 username too. thats where i started. then i knew i wanted people to call me a name thats associated with the sky (i just like the sky) and i also wanted my name to be a pun if possible.. so after some contemplating i ended up with cloudrages which sounds like outrageous <3
