lol meme lol.

[serialdrapist]

... so uh. I was going to do a first impressions meme when Gino hit 1k, but he's 300 comments away from that and, you know, I'll probably hit that this weekend in the midst of my rapeshifts. juri loev working!! Which means I would inevitably forget to finish that meme or would have hilarious responses.

SO. INSTEAD. Let me revive a meme aviy came up

Comments

Now I'm just picturing Jeremiah spending his whole time in camp with a cocky, knowing grin on his face going, "I can't tell you anything~"

I don't actually. They're similar, but in my opinion it's just that they have the same basic philosophy on life. Stop trying so hard and just cheerfully enjoy life the best you can with your friends. Other than that and a few other things that go along with it, the two have some pretty distinct characteristics as I interpret them.

I did kind of lose my drive to play Rivalz for a good while, but that wasn't really related to playing Keigo as much as losing interest with the canon. I almost dropped him, but I decided to hold on until the series finished to see if I'd get the drive back, and it worked! Thanks to the finale I'm totally pumped to play him again (and actually tempted to app from Geass again, sob). I just wish I knew how to make icons that didn't look like crap and had the money to get him some paid time as soon as I manage the icon thing, orz.

So Gino gets a geass. What does it do? Alternatively if you prefer, Gino in Soul Eater canon. Meister or Weapon? Specialty? Weapon form? Etc.

[serialdrapist]

Actually, I just ... can't see Gino getting a geass, but that's probably because I really like his role in the series as being someone relatively NORMAL (i.e. no geass, no supernatural help, no LOL I'M A SUPERHUMAN) and being what he is because of what he's done himself.

But as for Soul Eater canon, he'd be a meister! Probably with a scythe or some sort of polearm, and he'd be the sort of meister that performs well and all, but you wouldn't ... really get that. You'd think he'd be another Black*Star with the FAILING TO GET A SINGLE SOUL FOR AWHILE, and he ends up being more on the Maka or Kid end of the spectrum. o/

QUESTION. Uh. Any hilarious app stories?

[overllamatic]

I don't think any of mine have been all that hilarious. So I'll tell them all and let you decide! For Keigo, I was pointed to the comm by an (now ex)player, really liked it and spent a while trying to pick who to app before deciding on Keigo. Nothing special. He was just my favorite character from Bleach and that was the canon I was really into at the time.

Fred's was me reading the first Young Wizards book right before apps and mentioning to KOS-MOS that I was kinda tempted to app him but wasn't really comfortable with it that soon. This was in confidence, so of course she told the entire YW cast and they all topped me, but I couldn't finish the app in time. By the next round I had finished the rest of the books and was torn between Fred and Sker'ret (the metal centipede with a black hole stomach) but eventually picked Fred. As a note, if I had tried apping him as a counselor, his job would have been "Head Light" and he would have sat on top of the Christmas tree.

Boyue was just me thinking he was adorable and topping myself into it.

Haruna was me once again fighting to choose between 2 or 3 characters in a series I had recently read before going with the one that was easiest to write the app for.

Rivalz I was tempted by for the longest time but refused to app him until I got topped mercilessly. I had big plans to have Haruna do antics that day since it was Naked Day, but I ended up spending the whole day staring at a blank app instead before rushing and writing the whole thing in like 2 hours.

Shuuhei... I don't even remember. I think I reread a certain part of canon for some unrelated reason and was like "lol I love Shuuhei... dammit." And was simultaneously writing another app for a different canon right up until the day of apps, but Shuuhei's app was much better than the other one, so I sent it.

And finally I spent months fighting the urge to app Soul Eater before finally giving in and writing an app for Eruka. Then I lost it when my computer crashed. And I decided I'd rather app Chrona than rewrite it :D!

So what characters have you begrudgingly resigned yourself to never apping?

[serialdrapist]

I THINK THOSE ARE ALL ENTERTAINING.

Uhhh, well, I probably shouldn't answer this since I do end up apping those characters anyway (lol Gino lol Heisuke), but a big one I can think of is L. I love him to death, but I wouldn't have the energy he would take. Kakashi from Naruto is another, and it's for the same reason. They're both characters I would love to play, but I'd really have to give them the attention they deserved to feel satisfied with my play. And with the characters I have ... yeah, I can't do that.

What's one canon in camp you are intrigued by but haven't gotten the chance to check out yet?

[overllamatic]

I had trouble thinking up something for this, because... basically if it interests me and I know how to find it for free, I have very likely at least started it. I don't have money at the moment though, and I don't like reading books if I don't own them (except in extreme circumstances), so I'm still looking forward to the Dresden Files somewhere in the distant future. For a non-book example, I will eventually play FFXII, really. Really really. I will.

Pick any one (or more if you're feeling ambitious) of my characters and tell me who you ship them with, or if you don't ship them, who you would ship them with in hilarious "what if"s. Canon or camp situation is fine, and feel free to explain why this makes sense in your head if you feel like justifying. Man, I almost feel like making a serious poll out of this one.

CHRONA X MR. CORNER

... okay no. B-but man, Keigo -> Asta cracked me up for awhile there. I really liked reading that interaction. IT WAS FUNNY I-I simultaneously felt so bad for Asta and for Keigo.

Question, question ... WELL. ON THAT NOTE. Is there a serious poll in the past that you've really liked and if so, why?

[overllamatic]

Broke his widdle heart :'(

I... honestly forget to check CFO pretty much constantly, so I rarely catch the serious polls, orz. Honestly I'm kind of a whore for my characters though, and I like any excuse to see people's opinions on them or people shipping them without me looking strange for asking |D

I keep forgetting to ask anything. um, what's something you did with one of your characters that turned out to be ridiculously more popular/awesome than you expected?

[serialdrapist]

PIMPURABA. Hands down. Back in 2006, Biz made geisha icons for all of the Eyeshield 21 cast at the time ... except for Sakuraba. So the ES21 cast joked that clearly, Sakuraba was their pimp! And then I photoshopped a horrible hat et all on him and we all laughed, and then someone enabled me to post with it later. ... so I did, and it ended up getting 2000+ comments. People asked for another one in December, so I did it again and ... that one topped 4k or so? Ever since then, we've needed continuations. IT CRACKS ME UP because I kept expecting for people to get all pissed at me because pimp jokes just AREN'T THAT FUNNY and I run low on steam after awhile, but they're always awesome. I actually have another one planned at some point, whenever I actually photoshop the stuff I need to shoop.

Do you have any predictions for Soul Eater?

[overllamatic]

Other than that it's going to be awesome whatever it is? I dunno! My biggest hope is that we'll find out that Excalibur was used by one of Shinigami-sama's posse back in the day, and somehow he'll become important to the plot. Because. God, it would be hilarious having them have to put up with him long enough to save the world. Also Eruka should get more screentime (favorite characterrrrrr)

The one counselor you want to see apped more than anybody else and what you'd be willing to do to see this happen?
