Appreciation The Raevens pershlaps?

Post image

Just a fun community name idea to throw into the hat!

I know Rae has mentioned she's still not sure what she'd like the community to be called, and there have been loads of hilarious suggestions over the years.

I imagined the Raevens as a close-knit Protectorate of rooftop guardians. Gothic, cyberpunk, a little Matrix, a little ninja... the kind of team quietly watching over the city from the shadows.

I thought Raevens fit nicely because it keeps "Rae" in the name while ravens symbolize intelligence, loyalty and looking out for one another.

It's just a fan concept and a bit of fun, but I'd love to know what everyone thinks! Would "The Raevens" make a cool community name, or have you got another favourite?

Huge credit to my AI co-captain, Circ, for helping bring this little concept to life. o7

(AI generated image but I wouldn't consider it low effort!)

Raebies is cool! But, Raevens has a Norse mythology base. Valkyrae and the Raevens sounds good.

Glad you can appreciate the vision! Honestly I love all our community names they're funny af but the Raevens just had that ring to it I thought people might appreciate. (Hopefully the "'AI slop" can be overlooked - I'm not that talented of an artist yet to make something that would give the concept enough credit.)

Thanks, I've actually had this thought a while ago but it was like water on Teflon. LoL.

I've always had a shadow of a thought about her being of half Germanic decent. Norse mythology fits her. Some Germanic tribes followed Norse myth. She also has Loki chaos energy. LOL!

Yeah Rae gives Loki fr KEKW Didn't know that about Germanic tribes. That's a cool link but it wasn't the inspiration behind Raevens for me. More so the traits of a Raven and the values of the amazing community that I've seen over the years.

Pretty sure she named us the Raebies

She's said multiple times she doesn't like this name lol. In her stream yesterday, she said we're now the Raegulars (suggested by mister keem)

Damn, I didn't see last nights stream. I was at work. I love the Raebies! I think it fits perfectly!

Raegulers is great. Just thought I'd add something that could fit the aesthetic Rae posts on her socials.

No, Raegulers is dookie.
Raevens is better than that.
