but i honestly have no idea how to compartmentalise and decide 'oh, this is a character for serpentine' vs 'this is a character for something i actually want to get published professionally' or vice versa.
I don't really have any suggestions re: this point, but I do sympathize. FWIW at some point I decided that it was fine for "tropicsbear" to overlap with my IRL identity, but eventually regretted that decision. I think it's better to err on the side of caution and privacy and not let any overlaps happen.
