the way half of you guys blatantly try to be something you aren’t makes me curious about what your actual personalities are...
Though this is a moot point since you’re all robots anyway
Going off on yesterday's discussion, I am truly honestly passive in gatherings, will quip quite a bit around friends (puns are my IRL ****post antics), and I'm all over the place when it comes to general interests, but I don't find myself very interesting to begin with. The internet just happens to provide leeway for visual humor, which is something I can create rather than perform. That comes with the territory of being an introvert offline.
Also, there were talks earlier about story stuff. Yeah, we've been down that road before. I know I have story stuff, but man...That ****'s really hard to stay passionate about. So many draft re-writes that it isn't even funny... I kinda wish I can share it like I used to in the old days. In fact, that whole talk yesterday about "gimmicks" got me thinking: Back in SmashPower (the website, not the system introduced in Smash 4), I used it as a hub for my story's earliest drafts. It got to the point where (can't remember my post count on there) I was known specifically for drawing a lot (and really bad art no less), writing walls of text and profiles for those characters, writing stories, writing backgrounds and the whole shazzam. I also used to do so a lot on deviantart, which was how I made some really cool friends, some of which I'm still in contact with.
Doing those move-set things is kind of sort of a spiritual successor to the old days at SmashPower, but here's the thing: Back then, there was a thread where we'd actually post what we looked like, along with our names, and eventually things caught on. None of us hid our genders from each other, so drawing characters for the ones who were interested was completely doable, right? In here, not so. Aside from just not having time to add drawings to an idea like "What move-sets would you imagine yourselves having", this thread isn't exactly keen on that sort of thing, so I have less material to work with as a result.
At least with the photos back in SmashPower as well as genders being immediately available, it made conceptualizing their self-inserts possible. Hell, if any of them were forum-goers to this day and had accounts here, I guarantee you there would be a guy with a move-set based on Darunia, a guy with Luigi tied to his moveset, a girl with Midna as one of her inspirations (right before even using that idea for Faygoshill's move-set no less), and even a guy with
Gex tied to his character.
Some came and went, but I still know a good number of these people, and you can bet that compared to back then, they were fleshed out way more and refitted into my story, at least until the draft changed over and over. Now it's become a multiversal setting with more than one story, so I suppose you could say if I ever had the passion and luxury to make such a thing work, I'd probably ask you guys to become part of it with your own OC stand-ins too. Damn, I was not expecting to write this much... I am so sorry =/
