Meme: Questions

[thatwaslucky]

Oh my god I'm having the worst work week and my day blew up, please give me something to read. We did this last in May but I came up with a bunch of new questions because I'm a dork who does that.

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.

Check in throughout the day to add questions/answer questions that have been added!

Apropos of nothing I kind of love you extra for this response.

Sabine's got so much trauma I really should get out of her somehow. Just a little.

[throughaphase]

I don't do fanfic these days but I'll go back to canon and start writing little missing scenes, trying to match the voice. It usually helps.

[drumsticksandd20s]

How dare you.

I'd say Kennedy though, because the friend group she collected fed so beautifully into her lead up to canon, and I had the most fun integrating all of that into my remix of canon when I got to it.

Liliana surprised me with how much she loved Christmas trappings last year. And I always love OMWF because it gives me an excuse to poke at things my characters are hiding. I'm looking forward to pollen this year for two idiots with no experience trying to grapple with pants feels and a significant other.

The next few Field of Dreams are gonna be soooooo great for Liliana.

20 Year Reunion lets me play What If scenarios (I have a great one for Liliana and Ignis), as does AU kids, and weetiny weekend lets me show other sides. Like comparing tiny, healer, angel-loving Lili with Liliana, and tiny, traumatized Arden with the older one.

IF my kids aren't getting out, it's because I'm too busy, so I guess I handle it by bemoaning how I wish I had more headspace and time to actually play.

Making sure everyone has a weekly job has always been my gold standard for ensuring that someone's at least getting posted up at least once a week, although lately there's been times where I can't even get that taken care of.

[deathsmajesty]

When I have space (three is apparently my limit) and there's a character that's just like, "I need to be in Fandom. Right now."

[deathsmajesty]

I've started putting specific keywords before the title of the icon itself. So I have a bunch of "Smile" "Smirk" "Scoff" "Sad" "Stride" (and other words that don't start with s but I was on a roll) so that if someone is Angry, I can just type in angry and get all the angry icons at once to choose from.

This random icon is "Surprise - Huh Brow Furrow"

[deathsmajesty]

Relatedly, I love when someone posts something randomly and it spreads. It's like a big "yes and" exercise.

Most of my current ones don't need 'em, but Eleanor's was picked because of a fancasting on Tumblr that I could not unsee once I saw it. And with Summer, I've always kept an eye out for someone possibly but no one ever had the right vibe (okay, okay, there's been a few I considered, but they just didn't have enough photos where they wore PONYTAILS, UGH), and then the Olympics happened and I looked over and saw Kelly Chen playing volleyball and I'm just all "When did you get to the Olympics, Summer?" but I've been using just cartoon and comics icons for so long that it actually feels really weird still using them? So I just still use all the same ones despite really wanting to venture into new vibes because she's just not a teenager anymore.

I have also reconsidered repurposing a certain DnD avatar (iyky probably k) especially since I'm really limited with Kelly, too, but, again, there's just not enough fucking ponytails, BUT ALSO, like, character growth or whatever? IDK. It's something in flux right now.

[deathsmajesty]

Oh god, everybody in my life knows about FH, but then most of my social groups are made up of LARPers and RP nerds, so it's just another form of RP. My husband gets updates whether he wants them or not. My best friend comes in and is like, "What's the latest hot goss from the island?" He has no desire to play, but loves getting updates.

[somethingwithturquoise]

I used to always try and bring in someone new each semester, especially when shuffling someone off, but lolololololol, yeah, that's not going to happen.

Now it's just a matter of "will I have time to finish the app before they close again?" The answer lately has been "Nope!" I have at least three half-finished apps in my google docs right now...

BUT I do have some PLANNED ONES for plot purposes, but for now, it's probably a good thing to just stick with what I've got unless I really get struck by some sudden inspo.

[deathsmajesty]

I'm in the process of a canon catch-up preplay right now (it's huge and sprawling and incredibly overcomplicated because of who I am as a person) but it's going to set up some incredibly interesting stuff for later, and I can't wait for War of the Spark, in part to rewrite that entire shitty pair of books. (And introduce potential new character).

Arden, we hit the thing I was MOST excited for, now I'm back to trying to figure out how to put her through canon without waiting until she's 25.

I'm still clinging to Senshi in hopes that putting him through canon will magically unlock brain

[somethingwithturquoise]

For the chocobro time skip, I got so used to typing in "Older" to search through my icons to pick theirs that I sometimes automatically type "Older" for accounts that aren't chocobros, so that's kind of funny.

Especially when it's mostly unnecessary now because they've been slowly depleted of younger icons (some more than others). Now, the only one who really has a big icon quirk is Ignis for glasses or no glasses.

[deathsmajesty]

I'd say...probably Kathy, though Liliana has the potential to topple her. But she had such beautiful arcs and friends and relationships. I will always be proud of what I managed to accomplish with her.

[chef_chocobro]

*Just gestures emphatically at FF XV, Episodes Ignis and Prompto s p e c i f i c a l l y*

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer's. Because I'm pretty sure she'll never leave.

[somethingwithturquoise]

I dropped out of Rick and Morty HARD for a while there; I've since picked it back up, but it's sort of a struggle still because Summer's moved so far beyond her character there. There's some stuff I could play with maybe but it would take time and effort that I don't have right now.

Anyone who follows me on Twitter knows, however, that even after all this time, FFXV is still EVERYTHING.

[drumsticksandd20s]

Steph's taste in music is definitely not mine, so that gets handwaved a lot.

[pun_king]

I still have soooooo much of Graham and Amaya's canon to play around with that I'm very excited about, even if I did decide to postpone it a little because I missed having him on the island so damn much.

But as soon as he graduates, we're setting him on the king path, and how could that be anything but fucking thrilling as hell?? Like, I've been looking forward to this for literal years now at this point.

Also, like, June 13th is going to be kind of hilarious.

[pun_king]

I'm still trying to figure out a way for Graham to realize that his future kids actually went here before he did.

[my_own_advocate]

"I know lots of Americans through this, uh. Collaborative writing group that I'm in, where everyone takes responsibility for a character and goes from there."
"That sounds really interesting, you should write an article about it!"
"No."

[my_own_advocate]

Well, the first half of my RP career, I brought in a lot of pairs with some intention to ship.

The latter half of my RP career has been a lot of me bringing in characters with either the vague assumption or the hard decision that they won't get into ships because of their relationship status/sexuality/what have you and then going "*sigh* here we go again" when I fail to stick to that.

[my_own_advocate]

Cop out answer: since early November every single part of my life has gotten lit on fire one after the other, so right now they're all kind of hard.

But probably Jesse? Just because she's so even and she doesn't have a ton of quirks to hammer on.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer due to the established relationships and Pam because I love her and she's strong but multifaceted enough that she's relatively easy to play.
