I GREATLY ANTICIPATE ANSWERS TO THIS FOR WHEN I AM CONSCIOUS TOMORROW.

( Pairings meme! )

I am supposed to be memorizing parts of the Bible, but lol no. I really like all these personal/RL memes going around, though! It's nice to learn~~ about the people I write with. :D

ONE:

1. My username is ______ because ______: hello_from_dis! I actually registered this back at GJ on a whim, because when I was still MU* RPing and was using Anna Mouglalis as a PB (not as Marie, which is SO WEIRD FOR ME to look back on), I wanted to get at nuit's, then snezana, icons of her, and I wasn't really thinking of it as a long-term thing. The name actually comes from my first LJ RP, where I played--I kid you not--Lucifer. He had an obsession with Hugh Jackman, liked to light people on fire, and periodically summon hell beasts. Every entry started with "Dear Dad," and ngl, I sort of loved playing him. I'll probably change it soon though, if only because I hate underscores in my usernames.
   
   
2. My name is _____ because ______: "being idle is for whores and politicians." This is a quote by pronto. My display name changes all the time; most recently it was "OH SHIT, I'M XERXES, JAM ON," which is from speedforce and has to do with 300 and Michael Jackson, though idr what. Before that, I think, it was "WHO WANTS TO SEND A MESSAGE TO HOGWARTS?" which is from nuit and has to do with one of my old characters and Inglourious Basterds (obviously). My display name is usually funny quotes from various chats, now that I think about it.
   
   
3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: "Alfred, you're beautiful!" With the subtitle of "I made your crazy ass some delicious french onion soup." This is a combination of connie meta-ing Alfred, and Batman. I need to do a big journal revamp, though, so it'll eventually change!
   
   
4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: An exceptionally angry and moustachioed cookie, made by chthonian. I'm seriously leaning towards changing it to Til Schweiger wielding a teddy bear, but I can't give up the cookie. ;__;

TWO: What are 10 of your favorite books?
( and this one goes under a cut because I ramble. )

A couple things! First, a meme:

Comment below and I will tell you which of your characters that I've played against are my favorites and why I love them. The reasons will probably be like HERP DERP THEY MAKE ME LOL because I suck at these, but whatever.

Second! So I know the people who are apping girls in the Angel squadron (or girls who will be in the Angel squadron) have been chatting across posts, but I thought it'd be fun/wise if we started sort of hashing out their dynamic! At least for the girls already in the squadron -- how they act with each other, power dynamics, how they act with the other squadrons/pilots/soldiers/etc. So far I know Dee/Ricochet is the leader and Carver/Blitz gets her rocks off heckling the other pilots, BUT WHAT ELSE. Give me deets.

Third! I have at least one more character coming up for Dread but I'm still working her out (and I know I will have a fourth because it's me) so I apologize in advance for future spam.

( I AM CUTTING THIS TO SAVE YOUR FLISTS )

ALSO PLEASE ANSWER THIS: I have tweaked it slightly.

Do any of my characters have distinctive catchphrases/ways of speaking/writing? If so, which ones would you associate with them? Do you think any of them overlap?

I have made it more thinking-intensive for you guys, sry.

Post Secret meme! I know Evo used to do these IC and I miss them, so go do them so I have things to read when I'm supposed to be working. :x I WILL THROW SOME IN LATER. And they will probably be really easy to identify.

edit. Speaking of memes, I still need to hit up old ones. I know I always say that and then RL is like lol no, BUT I THINK I ACTUALLY HAVE TIME TONIGHT/today at work because I am bored. Ngl, may or may not attempt this one again.

Stolen from heyjude, because I am bored at work.

1. Who are you?

2. Yay! How long have we been RPing together?

3. What was your first impression about our RPs? (IE, were you nervous, intimidated, disappointed, impressed, amused, annoyed?)

4. First characters we played together?

5. Most amusing scene from one of our RPs?

6. Most depressing?

7. Sappiest/most romantic?

8. Cutest couple from our RPs?

9. Cutest friends?

10. What's your favorite character that I play/have played? Why?

11. Least favorite? Why?

12. Something you'd like to RP/see happen in an RP with me at some point (no matter how random!)?

13. Name a song that reminds you of one of our couples/one of my characters and why you chose it.

14. Anything in particular that makes my style of RPing stand out from others'?

15. Anything I could improve on?

16. Character of mine you'd like to see more of?

Still working on the last one! It is surprisingly difficult, particularly when everybody else's trivia bits are so good. BUT, to help gear myself for pseudo-NaNoWriMo and regular non-RP writing, and also because I just spent three unpaid overtime hours at the office and require entertainment, have this meme! I guarantee I will not get to all of them, or even most of them, for at least a week, but I will try and pop one or two out a day. :>

Comment here with a pairing of your choice, if you want it to be past/present/future and a song/colour/line of poetry or even just a scenario you want to read. And I'll do my best to reply. You might get 2 lines or you might get a paragraph but I'm determined to respond to everyone :D

Fact: I am obsessed with drabble memes/fic memes, but I always go way overboard and write like 1500 words. Hopefully I can keep these ones contained! Past/present/future, whatever -- just please make sure they actually interact on the regular, or that we've discussed how they have interacted/would interact. These ones get tricky when pairings are too left field.

I should be studying for midterms. Instead I will blatantly copy Loren:

Name any of my characters, and I will give you 5 to 10 random pieces of trivia about them/their life.

And/or a slightly-modified Kati's version:

Name one of your characters and one of mine that interact semi-regularly, and I will make up 1 or 2 random pieces of trivia about them. Because omg I COMPLETELY fail at talking about other people's characters.

Past/future characters are game, as usual!

pronto: DO IT GAFFOT


ALSO DO THIS: I like memes where I don't have to do anything. I will hit up other people's laterrrr.

Comment here with your 10 favorite icons from all of my currently active character journals!

Omg I found this in my archives and I THINK I LOVE IT.

Here's what you give me:
1) one of my characters
2) another character played by you or me or anyone else

Here's what I'll give you:
1) a letter of some sort written from character 1 to character 2.

You can choose a love letter, an advice with how to deal with another person, a venting letter about another character, whatever. If you want something written about a third character you will have to name that individual.

Past, present, apping characters are all game, as per!

EDIT: And for my own reference, I need to do "IT'S BEEN A YEAR WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY NOW" posts for Anne, Zara, Jacob, Lorelai, Eddie, and Jubilee. I think those are the characters I'm still actively playing and have had for a year? AM I FORGETTING ANYONE?

EDIT EDIT: alk;jawkje;lk HAHAHAHAHA ALLISON AND RHIA I FUCKING LOVE YOU SFM

EDIT EDIT: Dear self, go back and finish memes you fucking start. I know I have the like/annoy/change/future one to do too. UGH WHY DO I FAIL SO HARD AT THIS

THIS IS EASY. I am avoiding doing work, so give me stuff. Past, present, apping, whatever, and you can give multiple people for #3!

Comment with one of my characters (and one of yours for #3) and I will tell you:

5 icons that I feel best represent them
4 icons I don't use often enough
3 icons that best represent my character's feelings towards yours
2 icons that are my favorites
1 icon that doesn't really fit the character, but I can't live without.

Just a quick reminder that the game opens next Saturday, October 3rd! Apps are starting to trickle in already, ilu guys. ♥ :>

Also!! The sex/relationship meme Shawna posted. Not the gross one.

Give me a character and I will answer the following:

1. Does your character believe in true love or soul mates? Love at first sight?
2. Are they or have they ever been in love?
3. What are their general feelings about sex?
4. How do they feel about sex without love?
5. What about sex before marriage?
6. What counts as cheating and is cheating forgivable?
7. Have they or would they ever cheat?
8. Are they a virgin?
9. First partner? Most recent?
10. What sort of experience do they have with sex?
11. Do they have any fetishes or fantasies?
12. How comfortable are they with their body?
13. With their partner's body?
14. Who gave them "The Talk"?
15. Do they have any special skills?
16. Post-sex habits? Weird habits? Anything else?

These may or may not be answered in first person, I am just saying.

SHAWNA AND I WERE KIND OF THE INSPIRATION OF THIS SO I SHOULD PROBABLY DO IT. Snagged from sandinista:

What type of character archetypes would you like to eventually play?

I think I covered some of these in the "What types of characters do I play" meme, but w/e.

Male nerds. I play charming rogues and ~villains~ for the most part; I've actually wanted to be play a huge male geek for a loooong time. Before Shay apped Leo and Rae apped Fiz, I'd contemplated apping Batman has this HUGE fucking comics geek -- we're talking overweight, keeps his comics in their sleeves, plays WoW in his mom's basement, kind of geek. But I ended up apping Two-Face instead, so that went out the window. I was going to do it at Neopolis -- Cadet Twilight, the Dev Patel-PBed uberfan of Regina's father (ngl, I still revisit his notes for the lulz) -- but I couldn't crank out the app in any way I was happy with. :(

Morward Barren. Not really a type, but another idea I LOVED that I could never get off the ground. Morward was a complete and total spoof off of Twilight, with a healthy dose of Growing Up Cullen thrown in. He was a highly melodramatic vampire who spent his time brooding about being a Monster and pining after Victoria from his dorm room. He was basically everything I hated about modern vampire stories all rolled into one, and shaped like Gaspard Ulliel (another nod to the INSANE TWILIGHT FANDOM). I'd still love to play someone that over the top and blatantly mocking, tbh.

Straight up lesbians. I've played/am apping a couple bi girls who lean heavily in the female direction (Olivia, Cat), but never one that is 100% gay. ...Although, let's be honest, Olivia might as well have been, so who am I kidding. I should probably clarify this more as lesbians who aren't very interested in sex. Not that lesbians can't be, obviously, but I feel like I'm playing too much to the stereotype of ~sexy lesbians~ when I do. Although, again, it's never been because they were lesbians WHATEVER THIS IS GETTING TOO COMPLICATED.

A really, outwardly religious person. I've played people with religious backgrounds (Eve, Emma, un-apped Jameelah), who either practice in a more personal way, or fall away from the church; but I've never managed to play someone who actually does shit like cite scriptures and try to pray for/with people. My whole family is like that, so I'm sure I could, but I sometimes worry because I'm not like that (and have personally never understood it), it would just come off like a weird caricature.

A young man. Maybe in his twenties? The youngest I've played outside of school games (which I never count, since you're inherently limited to a specific age group) was...26, I think; generally I tend to play them in their thirties. I'd sort of like to play a twenty-two, twenty-three-year-old guy who's just, you know. A guy's guy. My males tend to fall into the "no really I'm a good guy underneath the dickery," though, so idk.

A non-retarded teenager. Outside of Olivia, I haven't done it yet. 8|

THE BEAAAAAAST. UGH I LOVE BEAUTY & THE BEAST SO MUCH. I WOULD GIVE MY LEFT ARM TO PLAY HIM SOMEWHERE. Or a version of him, a la John Collins (KU).

A SPYYYYY I LOVE SPIIIEEESSS

Angry, emotionally constipated Keira Knightley. I keep getting cockblocked whenever I app her. 8|

Stealing from trashpileodoom, with my eternal thanks. Taking out the "how they are in bed" part, since there are heaps of memes for that already. But I really like the rest of it!

Name any of my characters, past or present, and I will give you their pre-game romantic history in brief.

Please ask about characters I'm in the process of apping, too; these kinds of memes help with the ~chardev process~ for me. I'm stil working on the like-annoy-change-future one from yesterday too!

EDIT: Also, I bit the bullet and got the twelve month plan that is, lol, three times as expensive as the deal advertised. WAY TO GO, COMCAST. But on Saturday I will have both internet and tv at my apartment, and can begin the road to never leaving the house again. I'll also be out of town all Sunday: my parents are going to Italy this week (those bastards) but speak no Italian and are of the "If we just shout it louder, they'll understand" school of thought, so I'm going up for the day to teach them basic Italian and how to ask for shit, etc. BUT MOSTLY, I'LL HAVE INTERNET YAY.

Give me one of your characters and one of my characters and I'll tell you exactly what they think of them -- what they like, what annoys them, what they wish they could change, and what they expect to happen in the future.

Lol 46 comments of retarded pseudo-intellectual flirting. YES.

All of my characters have been given truth serum. Ask them whatever questions you like, as many as you like, and they will answer honestly.

This one always ends up retarded, idk. My roster is here (active characters) and here (retired characters). My Theo cast list is up for grabs too, though I may have to paraphrase on some of those.

More importantly, I am doing an assignment on the Psalms, and I came to the troubling translation from "Those who choose another god multiply their sorrows" to "Mo bitches, mo problems." Idk, my prof is young enough he might appreciate it.

( Also, TO DO. )

Now that I've gotten that giant monster out of my system, a more palatable analysis, since I love this shit:

( Writing trends! )

I have a sinus headache and am refusing to work. ERGO:

Give me a pairing and I will write a love note from one to another. The pairing can be my character and yours, mine and someone else's, or anything that strikes your fancy, as long as I know who they are.

I need another brash retard in my roster. Eddie is dumb, but not quite dumb enough. :(

edit: Aaand people should go hit up exemplar! I need to do that. At some point. When I'm not supposed to be working.

Name me one of my characters, and I'll tell you the inspiration(s) behind their initial conception, whether they be real-life people or fictional characters.

WHATEVER IT'S JUST A FILING DAY. I'm almost positive I've answered this in some form or another for...some character or another at one point. BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER.

Edit: This reminds me I never finished that baby/10-years-later meme from June. I can't do them now, but I promise I'll get back to them when I have internet again. :>
