shoot them in the head!

ABOUT ME | CURRENT CHARACTERS | PREVIOUS CHARACTERS | PSLs | WIKI

Why is Slytherin the home of the Mean Girls and the Bullies? "Those cunning folk use any means to achieve their ends" doesn't always translate into "Asshole."

If I wasn't so bad at "cunning" I'd be tempted to pick up a Slytherin who isn't a blatant outright asshole.

More personal headcanon time!

Timeturner Tales is one of the biggest bits of headcanon I have, having referenced it to varying degrees in six different games since 2007, even having played characters cast in it in three of those games.

Beyond just the information that I have listed in the wiki, I have all sorts of other headcanon for the game: general characterizations for some of the characters, for example. Like, I would totally at some point consider making a Timeturner Tales-based RP game with general quick descriptions of the various characters, if I thought that was something other people who aren't me might be interested in. Which I honestly kinda doubt.

ANYWAY.

For some of the characters on the show, I have a lot of ~thoughts~ on what they're like. And because I have all kinds of thoughts, why not share them?

( Cut for skipability. )

... totally forgot to include this earlier, but I totally picture the narrator as being voiced by Morgan Freeman. Because he is the ultimate narrator.

First, stolen from everyone:

PICK 1 OF MY RP CHARACTERS & I WILL TELL YOU:

1. Why I played this character.
2. My favourite moment in (game)canon for this character.
3. My favourite piece of headcanon for this character.
4. Something about this character which makes me laugh.
5. Something about this character which makes me cry.
6. One of your characters that I think would get along well with them.

(I reserve the right to not answer #6 if you don't have a character directory at your journal, because chances are I've forgotten which of your characters I know / I've played with. Also, plz specify which version of the character, if I've played a character multiple times.)


Second, because I'm bored and I've been in a ficcy mood while I've been Sick As Hell with this Bug That Won't Go Away:

I have 1019 songs in my current iTunes playlist. Pick a number between 1 and 1019, and I'll write a fic that's in some way connected to or inspired by that song. You can request particular characters, but I reserve the right to use different characters if the muse so strikes.

For the second meme, all fics will be posted in daiquiri, but I'll reply to your comment with a link to the fic when it's posted.

I kinda want to play an adrenaline junkie.

Like, a character who'd do anything for that rush. Skydiving, extreme everything, walking right up to the angriest person in the world and insulting their mama, bullfighting, racing a sporty little car down a dark road with the headlights off and the pedal to the metal.

idek.




EXTREME CAT-PETTING.

EXTREME COW-TIPPING.

EXTREME BINGO.

Haha, I totally forgot about this. >>

ANYWAY. The unguessed answers to the music meme: ( here. )

Also, I am rather disappointed at how long it took anyone to realize I was rickrolling y'all in that meme. XD ty lipsofpoison for being the first one to say something.

Man. I haven't ficced in forever. But it felt good. Even if it was a vaguely depressing fic.

I oughta sit down and work on the ones that have actually been requested from my various prompt tables, lol.

Okay. This is more for The Project That Still May Or May Not Happen. Hey, I went to public school, busywork is what I do best.

Anyway.

Since applications seem to be something that everyone seems to disagree on, I was hoping to get some opinions on the application for The MWPP-era School Game That I May Or May Not Open, But Even If I Do Open It, It Won't Be Til August.

Because I'm keeping the details on the game very close to my chest, I put the application in my playing-around-with-code journal, and I removed the links on a couple of things (so if you see a link, assume it leads to something that's Further Information contained within the mod journal).

ANYWAY. If y'all could check out the application and lemme know thoughts on it -- am I missing something you think the application should have? Is there something in there that you just ABSOLUTELY LOATHE SEEING ON APPS, etc -- I would greatly appreciate it! :D ♥

Hubby and I were watching Sorcerer's Stone the other night (my brother gave me the 8-movie blu-ray box set for Christmas, and I've been working on talking hubby into a marathon), and it got me wondering.

Where did the fanon idea of getting your Hogwarts owl on your 11th birthday come from? Didn't the letters from Hogwarts start at least a week or two before Harry's birthday? I mean, they were already at the hut on the rock the night before Harry's birthday, and yeah Hagrid showed up right as the clock hit midnight, but that could very well have been for ~dramatic effect~.

I've always sort of figured that Hogwarts mass-mails all the "Hey, congrats you rascally kid, you, you're going to Hogwarts!" letters in the middle of July, regardless of when your 11th birthday fell that year. I mean ... wouldn't it suck if your birthday was August 31st and that was when you got your letter? Especially if you're a muggleborn and have no idea wtf this is and couldn't have been, like, planning for it? And could you imagine having a September 1st birthday and getting your letter then, and then having to wait a whole year? THAT'D SUCK.

And speaking of muggleborns, I know this is never discussed in the books, so it's entirely speculative, but I totally imagine that there's either a section of the Ministry (we had the Wizard-Muggle Liaison Office in the Dept of International Magical Cooperation at find_the_mod) that sends representatives to muggleborn witches' and wizards' households to explain wtf Hogwarts is and present them with their letter, or that's done by a representative of Hogwarts, because ... really. Let's say you're a muggleborn, and suddenly a letter arrives saying "congrats, you're a witch! Come to this school you've never heard of and can't find anything about on the internets or anything. Oh, and send your response by owl (even though the owl who delivered this may be long-gone, and your muggle town probably doesn't have an owl-post office). And be sure to buy all your supplies at a place you've never even heard of and have no idea how to get to!"

Yeah, I'd be pretty sure that's a prank, if it was my kids.

I'm also pretty sure that if we didn't respond to the letter and more started coming until they were pouring out the fireplace, I'd be even more convinced that WHAT THE HELL, MY KID ISN'T GOING TO SOME PSYCHO SCHOOL.

So, basically, I kind of figure that there has to be somebody from the wizarding world to go around to muggleborns (and around the same time, mid-July, not birthdays) and explain that they're a witch or wizard, and perhaps have clearance from the Ministry to provide a few displays of magic so that this family doesn't think you're like a crazy person, and then also actually take this family to Diagon Alley, show them how to get in, and help the kid go shopping for school supplies for their first year, so they don't show up with the wrong thing because NOBODY TOLD THEM THIS IS WRONG.





.... that turned out longer than I thought.

ANYWAY. What are y'all's thoughts on the whole Hogwarts-letter thing?

Y'all. I have a purely hypothetical question that has NO BASIS ON ANYTHING AT ALL, REALLY.


Let's say you're looking at a MWPP-era in-school game. And on the character list, there are only 15 characters who are first-war Order Members or Death Eaters (8 and 7, respectively, to be precise ... hypothetically ...), and the rules clearly state that no, you can't play any other Order members or DEs, because they're all way too old to still be in school.

Now let's say there's another rule that says "Because there are so few of them, and they are undoubtedly among the more popular MWPP-era characters, each player is limited to ONE future Order Member OR ONE future Death Eater." (yes, "undoubtedly among the more popular" ... c'mon, look at just about any MWPP-era game, which sections seem to fill up the fastest? Order members and DEs. THEY ARE POPULAR.)


Would you find this rule to be reasonable?

Ask me questions/to do things/opinions/etcetc and I will answer them in a video!

Saying it right up front: I sing horribly. So please be kind and don't ask me to sing anything. :( BUT GIVE ME STUFF. I LOVE THIS MEME. :DDDDD

And this time I'll do individual videos for each request instead of being lazy and doing them all in one.

Stolen from starsand:

01) Set your music player to shuffle.
02) Whatever song comes up, pick your favourite lines from the song.
03) Do this with 15 25 30 songs and you'll have a list. (Skipping repeat artists / instrumental songs.)
04) Post the list on your journal and let your f-list guess what song the lyrics come from. No Googling!

Okay, so I did a bunch of songs because good ones kept coming up and I couldn't limit myself. >> I also skipped some songs / artists that I figured NOBODY WOULD KNOW.

( The lyrics! )

In case you don't follow announcements, squeaky just posted in there a bit ago about the new ads. I have adblock plus installed, so I don't see them anyway, but from what I understand, these new ones are a bitch, and squeaky is aware of it and doing what he can to make them less intrusive (such as removing them from entry pages).

( Argh. Screw you, Minesweeper! D: )
