So this question has been circulating for a while:
Why am I called Swee?
The answer for this is not quite simple.
Around 5-6 years ago at time of posting, I registered a scratch account with the name SweetiePieH1, I actually liked using it, but later on as I matured,
I realize the name’s a bit long… and quite embarrassing >//>
So I decided to try something creative, take some part of the same out to make a name that’s easy to type, and not embarrassing, it’s a win win!
What I didn’t realize was that there was a lotta accounts named “Swee” around the web, so from inspiration from Dream (Yes, that Minecraft YouTuber) DreamWasTaken, I set my usernames in GitHub, Discord, etc. to Sweeistaken
So that settles the Swee part, but we haven’t gotten halfway through the question.
How/Why did I pick the name “Nova Cat” for my fursona?
Okay, the name part is simple, but this explains some lore about the character.
At the time, what is called now “SweeZero” started as a Roblox group named “Swee Studios”. It used accent colors of green and red in the logo, which don’t mix well because they’re complementary colors.
I thought it might be time for Swee Studios to have a new name.
Rookie mistake: I used AI to do so, and everyone knows the only thing AI is good at is plagiarism.
So I decided to make my own name & logo again, and came up with SweeZero when thinking about binary.
The SweeZero logo uses the same colors as NovaSoftia because Light Green mixes well with Medium Blue since they’re Analogous colors. But the logo design took inspiration from the Swee Studios design (SZ)
This is a sketched concept of the choice, the real logos exist, but aren’t drawn to exact.
So my latest fursona is a soft(ia) cat named Nova.
He also has colors of SweeZero & NovaSoftia.
Similarly, Nova Cat’s trauma was connected to NovaSoftia’s sudden name change (everyone wants to get rid of him.)
Since I’m now a furry, I decide that I have my display name set as Nova Cat, but still known as Swee.
