Can you look at my current openings? I like them but I find it inconsistent.
I see you’ve played... against me?!?
I particularly love your opening(bongcloud)
I don't know what it's called, but it's pretty good.

Unless you play chess well and understand complex positions, mates... I do not recommend playing any move rather than e4.
how am i supposed to know if i play chess well?
Hi! I'm struggling to find a good, and consistent opening to use - preferably one that doesn't require me to know a lot of theory.
The opening I've been playing so far is pretty strong, but there's lots of variations and it's kind of complicated. Usually I just play what looks best, because I don't know all the theory
Any suggestions?
First of all, welcome. Second, in short, don't worry about specific opening lines. My suggestions for you are summarized in this article:

It is absolutely amazing that nobody became suspicious about your username, and nobody bothered to check your games. Well done, nice job!

haha thanks xD
I think 1. f4 2. Kf2 is a better opening tactic.
i'm not sure. people always tell me to play e4, so i think it's better

The usual advice:
Play slow time controls.
Slow down.
Work on the basics:
tactics.
opening principles.
not hanging material.
The rest is up to you. Openings are not going to solve any of the issues you're dealing with OTB.
I wished I knew about plans when I was younger, though @IMBacon. I'd get into a generic four knights without knowing what I do after the opening. I had all my pieces out, I'd castle, then I'd either win or lose and I'd have no idea how I did that.
