You ever meet someone who says “I’m totally normal,” and then five minutes later they’re showing you a homemade chart about how toothpaste is a form of mind control? Yeah. That’s kind of the energy I’m bringing today. Buckle up.
So, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my name — Nutildah. You’ve probably seen it floating around the weirder corners of the internet, maybe in crypto circles, Discord servers, meme comment sections, or scribbled on the bathroom wall of a metaverse nightclub. Who’s to say? But people always ask me where it came from. And honestly? It’s a long story. One of those tales that starts off normal and ends with your eyebrows raised so high they’re practically on the ceiling.
But hey — we’re friends, right? Picture us sitting in some dusty old café, sipping overpriced cold brew and swatting away the occasional fruit fly while I spin this yarn. You ready?
It All Started In A Giant Hamster Ball
I was born in the ruins of an abandoned Chuck E. Cheese located deep within the forests of Manitoba. My mother, Cloroxia, was a wandering interpretive dancer from the Cosmic Sloth Federation. My father? Ah yes, good ol’ Darnell the Unflinching. He was a semi-retired forklift operator and part-time illusionist who made a name for himself back in the ’80s by inventing the first solar-powered kazoo.
They met, as all great love stories begin, at a live taping of Wheel of Fortune during a lunar eclipse. Sparks flew, vowels were bought, and nine months later I emerged — slippery, radiant, and already muttering cryptic prophecies in Esperanto.
They named me Nutildah after the ancient word “Nu’till’da,” which in the language of the Martian crustaceans translates loosely to “one who aggressively hoards jellybeans and secrets.”
Does that make sense? No. But that’s kind of the point.
My Early Years Were… Confusing
I didn’t have a typical childhood. Most kids get taken to Disneyland — I got taken to a silent meditation retreat in a converted Taco Bell. I was homeschooled by a sentient Etch A Sketch named Carl. He was firm but fair.
Around the age of seven, I had a vivid dream that a flamingo in a trench coat whispered my destiny into my ear: “One day, you will be mildly influential on the internet.” And that’s when I knew — I was meant for something bigger. Maybe not better, but definitely weirder.
In high school, I tried to go by “Nutsy” for a while. Big mistake. That nickname followed me all the way to a failed MLM scheme involving handcrafted alpaca wigs. But that’s a story for another post.
Wait, Are You Still With Me?
Okay, so here’s where it gets interesting. Or alarming. Or both.
Lately I’ve been noticing something… off. Like, ever get that feeling when someone walks into the room wearing your exact outfit, down to the mismatched socks and weird smell of commitment issues? That kind of vibe.
There’s someone out there — someone using my name. Not just the name, but the whole aura. The Nutildah vibe. They’re posting online like they are me. Saying things like their dad was from some dragon clan or their mom was a descendant of toasted Bavarians or something? I mean… bro. Did you get hit on the head with a novelty goblet?
It’s like watching a mirror reflection of yourself slowly morph into a cartoon villain. Or a poorly written side character in a CW show. I don’t know whether to laugh or get a restraining order printed on a Snapback hat.
Identity Is a Weird Thing in 2025
Maybe it’s the solarpunk-nostalgia-core aesthetic of this year, but it feels like everyone’s reinventing themselves. Deepfakes, burner accounts, 3D-printed personalities — it’s like the whole internet is on an acid trip and we’re just along for the ride.
But you know what? I’m not mad. I’m… intrigued. Because whoever this other Nutildah is, they’re clearly obsessed. And imitation is the sincerest form of flattery — unless you’re being imitated by a sock puppet with unresolved trauma and access to ChatGPT.
Besides, if they keep reading stuff like this, it’ll start to get under their skin. Make them question things. “Did I really write that post about being born in a hamster ball? Or was that… the other me?”
So What’s The Lesson Here?
Honestly? There probably isn’t one. But if I had to force a moral out of this chaos, I’d say it’s this:
Be yourself. Even if your “self” was born during a blackout in a haunted Cinnabon. Own it. Fly that freak flag proudly and weirdly. Because someone out there is trying to be you — and they’ll never get it quite right.
Also, if you’re reading this and you’re the other Nutildah… buddy, blink twice if you’re trapped in a simulation. I’m rooting for you.

Stay weird,
Nutildah
