Yes, my friends. It's that time again. The time for silly gifs and bolded text, the time where we all take big parts of our day to make a big bowl of copy-pasta in the hopes to let our fellow Fandom peers understand why we do the crazy cracktastic things we do. It's time...for Info Posts.
And here is mine, with a quick and dirty, mostly-copied-from-last-time-but-with-new-gifs-and-quotes-because-I-can. All the important things are bolded, and I'm starting with the ones you already know and love and saving the best and newest for last.
So let's feast our ears on these memory pops:
BRITTA PERRY
(
shestheworst)
"Together, my cats can do anything."
From: Community
Played by: Gillian Jacobs
♥ Student, going to be a Senior
♥ 17years old
♥ Human, American, from the late 1990s (1997 to be exact), Riverside, Colorado
♥ Blonde hair, blue eyes, 5'4" (but always wears "stripper boots")
♥ Favorite color: Leather
♥ Favorite food: Celery with mustard
♥ Favorite song:
I Predict a Riot by Kaiser Chiefs
♥ Rooms in 512 with
inaskinnyway, granddaughter of Death, and Susie B, a horrible cat (currently with both eyes)
♥ Works Wednesdays at Turtle & Canary
♥ The Antithesis of Batman
Britta Perry is the worst. A self-proclaimed anarchist, she was voted out of an anarchist billboard tagging group for not being anarchist enough. Ready to stand up for any injustice and any cause, even contradictory ones, her outspoken opinions and inability to tell a good job makes her what others might consider to be a little 'acerbic,' though she probably doesn't know what that means. A leather-wearing vegetarian chain smoker, she was hoping to drop out of high school to join the Peace Corps, but wound up having to go back on probation. She has terrible taste in men, decent taste in music, and good intentions. But you know what they say about the road to good intentions....it's entirely paved with the hard work of underpaid individuals trapped in a viscous cycle of repression and under-appreciation! Britta smokes a lot of pot and does probably too many drugs and is currently earning extra cash by foot modeling. She is slowly turning into a cat lady.
Britta is essentially her player.
*cough*
SAMUS ARAN
(
stupid_metroid)
"But among the stars, there is one light that burns brighter than all others: the light of Samus Aran."
From: Metroid
Voiced by: Jennifer Hale
Played by: Charlize Theron
♥ Townie/Teacher, proprietor of Stark Industries
♥ In her late twenties
♥ Human-Chozo hybrid, from Zebes, a planet long ago destroyed sometime probably in the future in a different galaxy
♥ Blonde hair, blue eyes, 6'3"
♥ Almost always wearing her Power Suit
♥ When not wearing her Power Suit, is wearing a skin tight Zero Suit or just a tank and panties
♥ Can turn into a little Morph Ball
♥ Favorite color: Red
♥ Favorite food: Beer
Tubes!♥ Favorite song:
Rollin' by Limp Bizkit
♥ Lives at 29 Chimera Court with
onepunchguy and
advanceapology♥ Badass
After Samus Aran's parents were killed by Space Pirates, she was taken in by the bird-like race of Chozo, and they decided, hey, let's go ahead and make this girl an Ultimate Warrior (of Ultimate Destiny). So they shot her up with their DNA, made her a super warrior, and got her this really sweet Power Suit with a gun arm that let her do all sort of nifty things, like roll into a ball and adapt even further to different atmospheres. Samus briefly joined the Galactic Federation to hone her skills and seek revenge, but, well, there were a lot of things going on there that she didn't really agree with, so she set out on her own as a Bounty Hunter. She got her revenge on the Space Pirates, especially in annihilating the race of brain-sucking aliens known as Metroids...several times. She has found herself in Fandom due to a mysterious benefactor who keeps sending her money if she hangs out here and does various things, like run a general store, be in a play, or go on 3-Minute-Dates. No, she doesn't understand it. Yes, she will keep doing it if they keep sending checks. Unless otherwise stated, Samus is always in her Power Suit, a big bulky suit of mech armor that she feels most comfortable in. Samus's visor allows her to read bio or mechanical information about things; if she's scanning you, I'll give you the opportunity to decide what the scanner tells her. It can definitely malfunction and give off various or no reading at all, if you like. She's a aloof, a little stern, tall as hell, and really likes a stiff...drink.
Samus is basically kick-ass and awesome and everything her player would want to be.
FAWN SINGLETON FARRELL
(
yinandyango)
"Oh, no, I'm a drummer girl. A drummer girl."
From: No Matter How Much You Promise to Cook or Pay the Rent You Blew It Cauze Bill Bailey Ain't Never Coming Home Again: A Symphonic Novel by Edgardo Vega Yunqué
Played by: Indiana Evans
♥ Student, going to be a Freshman
♥ 14 years old
♥ Human, American, from 1989, Lower East Side, NYC
♥ Blonde hair, blue eyes, approximately 5'2"
♥ Hermaphrodite
♥ Favorite color: Black
♥ Favorite food: Doughnuts
♥ Favorite song:
Me and Bobby McGee by Willie Nelson
♥ Rooms in 403 with
district12baker♥ Works Wednesdays at Groovy Tunes
♥ Writes messed up Hunger Games fanfiction
♥ Poster Child for Bad Decisions
Fawn Singleton Farrell is the second daughter and third child of a hippie from Appalachia and a Vietnam veteran. She grew up much more quiet and reserved than her older siblings, in part because of the "yinandyango" between her legs, which is the word coined for her psuedopenis. Because, clearly,
not_a_mused was not enough for me, I needed to app another hermaphrodite. Unlike the hermaphrodite before her, though, Fawn is very well aware of her condition, though she keeps it a very deep secret, and she's waiting for her body to finish going through puberty so she can go through the surgery to have the extra appendage removed. And, if that condition wasn't enough, Fawn also has epilepsy, which triggers when she's over excited or upset. Please let me know if this is something you'd rather not deal with, so I can be sure to have her control it when she can. This, too, she tries to keep hidden; she's an extremely introverted person, preferring to stay on her own, write poetry in her notebook, and not bother anyone. Her family is an incredibly musical one, and, though her talents are mostly in the written word, she also can play the drums and loves playing the soulful music of a harmonica. She's a bit of a wild child at heart, though she does not usually have the guts to follow through with it. She is also prone to melancholy, depression, and even self-abuse. I fully intend to post plenty of warnings if she goes into one of those fits. Described as being "so pretty it hurts to look at her for too long," Fawn would rather no one looked at her at all. She struggles with her duality, her sexuality, and feeling like a freak. She feels unloved, partially because of her conditions and partly because her other siblings are so much more outgoing and normal. She's in a constant state of unhappiness and pretty sure that it will always bee that way. She can be extremely difficult to talk to at first, but can sometimes warm up to a person after a little bit of conversation. She has no compunction against being rude, though it's nothing personal, it's just her nerves.
Fawn is very true to her namesake, with a nice side dollop of SUPER DEPRESSING.
THE LIBRARIAN
(
ook_oook)
"Ook ook oook."
From: Discworld by Terry Pratchett
Played by: various orang-utans
♥ Librarian
♥ Age Unknown
♥ Human-turned-Orang-utan, from Ankh-Morpork, Discworld
♥ Red hair, grey eyes, looks like "a very small man in a very large overcoat" or perhaps "a full-grown 300 lb man filled with water"
♥ Favorite color: Red
♥ Favorite food: Bananas...and beer.
♥ Favorite song:
The Wizard's Staff (traditional)
♥ Lives in a nest he created in the Librarian's Office
♥ Not a Monkey
The Librarian is an orang-utan. He wasn't always an orang-utan; he used to be a wizard, until a spell went awry and turned him into an orang-utan. He's since decided he much prefers it this way, and has attempted to destroy all evidence of his previous life to better prevent ever being turned back into a human again. He likes being able to use his feet like hands, the incredible reach it gives him, the dexterity for climbing, and the strength is nice, too. His current ape form has not prevented him from continuing his duties as Head Librarian at Anhk-Morpork's Unseen University, and, as a part of a special group of Librarians, he also has the ability to travel through the L-space, which connects all libraries and other great masses of books. It is through this L-space that the Librarian has found Fandom High's library, and it without a Librarian at that! Far be it from him to step up and make sure that this excellent establishment stays in tact! The Librarian is quite fond of music, drinking, and the ladies, as well, so don't be surprised to see him continually warming up a seat at the nearest tavern. But whatever you do, don't call him a monkey. Unless, of course, you like being thoroughly thrashed by a giant ape.
The Librarian is not a monkey. Seriously, don't call him a monkey.
VALENTINE WIGGIN
(
a_demosthenes)
"All the stories are fictions. What matters is which fiction you believe."
From: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Played by: Emily Browning
♥ Townie/Teacher, proprietor of Turtle & Canary
♥ 20 years old
♥ Human, American, somewhat near future, North Carolina, Earth
♥ Brown hair, brown eyes, 5'2"
♥ Favorite color: ...let's just say pink.
♥ Favorite food: Ice cream
♥ Favorite song:
Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)♥ Lives in the apartment above Stark Industries with a her sassy gay best friend, Jarvis
♥ Actual sister to
endsthegame; sister of
lockestheway in another universe
? aka Demosthenes
Valentine Wiggin used to go the Fandom High for the blink of an eye, but, surprise surprise, the fact that one of her brothers saved the world and the other brother runs it, she didn't get to stick around for long before she got dragged off to help set things up so that people can start colonizing the worlds of the Formic aliens that tried to kill them all. She has spend the last few years on a colony outpost, writing the histories of the wars that have so recently happened in her world. However, when she found out that her brother Ender and his pain-in-the-ass (*snerk*) boyfriend Ben Skywalker were going to stick around the island for the summer, she thought to herself, "Fuck this, I need a break from colony life before we head out to the far reaches of space," made a deal with Samus Aran, and now she's running the general store and enjoying not having too many responsibilities for a few months. Valentine is supremely intelligent, though she will constantly undercut her own intelligence to make you feel better about yourself. She's extremely sympathetic, though she's not above making a few light jokes at your expense. She's spent her entire life in her brothers' shadows....and she's perfectly content there, because she knows most of the important stuff gets done behind closed doors, anyway.
Valentine is the sister you've always wanted except for you, Jaime Lannister
STANNIS BARATHEON, FIRST OF HIS NAME
(
thelobsterking)
"Robert could piss in a cup and men would call it wine, but I offer them cold clear water and they squint in suspicion and mutter to each other about how queer it tastes."
From: A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin
Played by: Sean Biggerstaff (*snerk*)
♥ Student, going to be a Freshman
♥ 14 years old
♥ Human, from Storm's End, Westeros
♥ Brown hair, grey eyes, 5'9"
♥ Favorite color: Black and Yellow
♥ Favorite food: Onions
♥ Favorite song:
Black and Yellow♥ From completely different timelines than
givehimahand and
halfman_lion, though more so the former than the latter
♥ Is not a ham.
Stannis Baratheon, First of his Name, is stuck with a truly terrible case of Middle Child Syndrome, and is notorious for having "the personality of a lobster." You think I'm joking? He got to watch as his parents drowned in a horrible storm on their way home from a trip, where they also brought back a court jester with the hopes that he would be able to make Stannis smile. See what happens when you try to make Stannis smile? PEOPLE DIE. And then we have to talk about Patchface... His brother Robert is currently known for being dashing and brave and attractive...eventually, he will be known as the man who took the Iron Throne, got fat, whored around a lot, and Stannis would be known as the guy who kind of ruins everyone's fun with his sense of Justice....but none of that has happened yet. Right now, Stannis is just fourteen, being sent off to learn at what he assumes is another kingdom, to be a good Lord and all that shit. But there really isn't that much difference between 14 year old Stannis and the one who insists that the Iron Throne is his by rights. He's stubborn, immovable, unsmiling, humorless, and has very few redeeming qualities. He does not like cats, but dogs are okay. He respects honesty and justice, but has a complete disdain for dishonesty and immorality...and will let you know about it. This is a guy who sent a letter all around Westeros telling everyone that the Queen had sex with her brother and that his brother's supposed heirs are all incest bastards...because it was true. Stannis can be kind of a jerk, but he's mostly just being honest and and doesn't have the social graces to realize it. I suggest you don't let him in on any incriminating secrets unless you want the whole island to know about it. Please let me know if Stannis ever steps over a line. Because while Stannis has no social graces, I like to think that I do.
Stannis Baratheon is probably the most pathetic, awkward person you will ever meet, and is totally judging you right now.

Skylie is a dorky little writer with a really short attention span and a chronic ability to not seem to be able to play on days when she has to work. (and she works five days a week, so....) She really tries, though! She's kind of a spaz who forgets a lot of stuff, and might need to be prodded from time to time, but, dammit, she loves this game and everyone in it. She wishes she knew how to quit you. She constantly likes to refer to herself as "the turd in the Fandom punchbowl," since she loves nothing more than to app characters like Stannis Baratheon and Aquaman or anyone else who NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND SHOULD WANT TO PLAY. When she says that she's basically Britta Perry, she is not joking. Okay, so maybe there's less pot and she actually does her laundry, but the basic principal of the matter is still there.
Skylie is a magical studly unicorn.
There you have it. That should cover just the basics, but please let me know if you have any questions! Or, better yet, let me know if you want to party. It's BYOG: bring your own gif.
