User blog:VeggieGoBrrrr/How it all began

Veggie, Veggie, Veggie. Many of you might be wondering why my name is Veggie. In this blog post, I will tell you how it all began.

= The Veginning = It all started with the not-so-famous-anymore game of Among Us. I was playing, trying to decide a name for my character. Since one of the kills was a tongue through the head, I decided to name myself “Vegetarian” to tell people that I won’t eat you. I was the color lime with the plant hat. That went on as my name for a while. Then around the same time, I decided to start gardening. I came to love plants and it became one of my hobbies. So to show more interest in plant life, I named myself Veggie in the game.

= Why it stuck = A little while later, I was looking for a Minecraft skin online and came across one that I liked. It was a gamer boy skin with a green hoodie and black pants. Thinking about it, I decided to merge my Among Us name into Minecraft as well. I edited the skin so that I could use it without stealing the original design and boom: The Veggie OC that we have today. It didn’t take long for me to keep using the Veggie idea. Soon, I was naming people IRL fruit or vegetable names.

= Veggie in Fandom = When I joined Fandom for the first time, I was in the car heading to Florida for a month vacation. I had recently gotten into Hazbin Hotel as well so I decided to join in on the HH discussions. I still used the name Veggie at the time and once people saw who I was, I felt proud of my name. I decided to stick with Veggie and use it for everything I do online and IRL.
