meme: reverse questions with a twist!

I was already bored during a weirdly slow week at work, and then I accidentally typed a posting date as "10/10/8120" which for those keeping track is six thousand years in the future, and now I've screwed myself into a lot of time spent on hold to fix it.

Look, if you're gonna mess up, do it by a few millennia.

Pose a question (or as many as you'd like, and they don't all have to be in one comment, so you can come back later and add more if you want) to your fellow players about the game or their characters, and they will Wall-of-Text if they want to, look, I know how some of you are answer them. They can be personal or silly. You don't have to answer all of them! Nothing counts in game, of course and etc.

Questions might include "Which of your characters are you the most like?", "Which BDE was your favorite?", "What music do you RP to?", etc.


And we havent done this since February. Ping, please! Help meeeeee.

Clearly someone needs to run a self-defense for Fandom seminar at the Community Center!

I very rarely run plots, but I was very happy with Leto's canon catchup way back when I did that and how it tied in with Alice's return to Wonderland and making Hania possible.

Octavia is available for going 'how have you been on this island for extended periods of time twice and still don't know how to fight?' at her, and also lessons. Of some kind.

It's hard for me to pinpoint specific scenes, but I never plan for relationships to happen, whether romantic or nonromantic, and it's often a pleasant surprise.

I loved how Leto's and Sparkle's first dates turned more serious than the light flirting I had expected. I tried to hold back there.

One of my favourite scenes with Lucille and Cassandra is when they were reading romantic poetry together. It was so obvious to me what Lucille felt then.

And I'm not really sure if Seivarden and Rosa have a thing, but Seivarden kept finding bad excuses to talk to her, which I hadn't expected.

I have to look at them and think 'yes they'd work in this setting' and 'yes I have stories I could tell with this character'. Otherwise I get bored and they ghost.

Setsuna Sakurazaki!!

Every once in a while, I get the urge to reboot her, but no. She was a glorious mess, but she was perfect, and I wouldn't want to change a goddamn thing

SUMMER LET'S GO STOMP SOME IMPERIALS.

... From very much the wrong account. But seriously, any time you want to do something horribly ill-advised with your girl, feel free to poke me and she can Kanan can get into a bad ideas enabling spiral that will inevitably end in delightful disaster.

Describing my canon. Possibly cuz they're both games and games where your choices determine the canon you get but writing both of those suuuuuuuckkkkeedddd.

The easiest is the writing samples, and they'd be even easier if I didn't have to put them on Fandom Island. The first one I did, before I'd ever played here, was terrible. I didn't know the lore or the setting or the people and it was really hard.

Pinging any of Shannon's characters ever.

I haven't been around long enough to really answer this but that decision is never one I regret.

With, generally, for little reason beyond 'that's just the canon they come from, I guess.' Because lo, I'm a sci-fi and fantasy nerd at heart. I don't app for the characters, I app for the trauma (and other things, I swear), and boy oh boy, do characters with powers tend to have trauma (and other things).

This girl and Sparkle are my only two without powers right now, which is both completely par for the course and a little facepalmy. Sigh, me.
intotheout: (what white nonsense)

[personal profile] intotheout 2018-10-11 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooo, now that is a very good point about the first writing sample as a newbie! Most of us haven't been new in a very long time, so we tend to forget that kind of stuff. I do imagine there's a lot of leeway on what you do or don't get "right" about Fandom in your very first character app, though? (Not being an admin, I can't say 100%, but it would make sense at least.)

ALSO FROM THE WRONG ACCOUNT OBVS, but YES. I keep MEANING TO, but add all the above statements to life just being kind of a stupid mess right now, and she just keeps slipping further and further down the priority ladder, but I will FORCE HER UP IT SOON, DAMMIT.

Oh god, anything that happens between Vette and a Wrath played Darkside. Canon goes some seriously squicky places with that if the player character makes Dark choices, and Vette gets easily the most NO THANKS treatment of all the companion characters in the game if it leans in that direction.

And that includes the former-Jedi companion who gets mind-fucked so badly she snaps and decides that the done thing is to run around the galaxy murdering Sith who lean even slightly into the Light.

Of course, thanks to game glitches, her slave collar just randomly shows up on a Vette who's had it removed during cutscenes half the time ANYWAY, and SWTOR why do you do this to me.

I think maybe back in the day when I had Pinkie make friends with Derek Hale whether he liked it or not. That dynamic kept her afloat for a good while, when by all rights she should have been very hard to keep active.

...Skywalkers? :D

I think I like the ones driven to make a difference, regardless of canon. Steve, Paris, and Anakin are all very different in personality, but they want to help fix things. They like to be involved.

...and Beaker was a dare.

Raven's love of Hot Pockets is the first one I thought of. It's those little details that would never happen/come up in canon (in her case because the setting she's from is supposed to predate Hot Pockets) that end up being running jokes in Fandom that I love.

BUT WHAT A LOVELY DARE!

I am having way too much fun with him, and he's been perfect for right now, where I'm unpacking from a trans-continental move and just cannot braaaaaaaaaaain.

So I blow up Beaker. Sorry, Beaker.

WEE TINY SIDON HAS BECOME CANON IN THE TIME SINCE THE LAST WEE-TINY AND IF YOU DON'T THINK I AM DYING TO GET THIS LITTLE SNOT OUT IN THE WORLD, THEN YOU ARE WRONG.
