Who Are You Playing?: Mary Grace O'Malley (crowhop), Kermit Creekmore (maledictorian), a creature that should probably go back where they came from once October hits, and too many assorted NPCs.
Sort Yourself!: Hogwarts - Hufflepuff. I might be an "and the rest…" sort. Peckenpaugh - Deeplurk. I'm too stubborn to take a lick of advice. Ilvermorny - I took the test and it told me Thunderbird so??? I guess that's what I am
What Are Your Pets Names?: Ziggy Stardust and Sergeant Pepper are two VERY EXCELLENT GENTLEMEN. Ziggy is beautiful and he's also a stubborn fucking asshole, and Sarge has a great personality
Is Cereal Soup?: Only if milk is Lucky the Leprechaun's bone broth.
Soda or Pop?: S O D A
How Long Have You Been RPing?: It’s been about 15 years now?? I remember very clearly apping my first character five days before my sixteenth birthday, because it was 4th of July and that’s what I chose to do with my night. I played Eloise Midgen and Zacharias Smith, starting a long legacy of me hoarding Hufflepuffs. There’s about three or four years there where I kind of got away from this blasted hobby and tried to live in the real world, but I was definitely always waiting for a chance to come back and make everyone’s lives hell again.
Other Genres and Settings: I’ve almost always stayed kind of Harry Potter-adjacent, because it was safe. For a brief span of time I tried slice-of-life no-powers, no-metaplot RP, like where kids just go to college or get regular jobs. It was such a different world, though, I was almost immediately like “this is not my beautiful house” and skedaddled. Cheryl and I also very very briefly did a Hunger Games PSL, which was probably the closest I got to straying outside my comfort zone pre-semi-retirement.
RP Style: I’m a master shitposter. I love long, dumb conversations via journal comments that go so incredibly off-the-rails, especially when two characters have really good chemistry and it’s just dumb/witty banter. Then I’ll be the asshole not paying attention in line at Starbucks or walking down the street because I’m glued to my phone and I need to fire off this quick comment before someone else comes along and makes that same comment!!!! I do love a good, short scene, either in a log or an IC/OOC. I’m a big fan of scenes that feel more like an excerpt from the day or an event, instead of feeling like they have to encompass a full scene. So maybe it’s the aftermath of a disastrous dinner, or two people sitting on a roof and drinking and the scene starts in the middle of an incredibly stupid argument. If you do a scene with me, I’ll usually propose we wrap it up at about the 3 or 4 page mark because it’ll usually feel like we can just imply that the rest of the night went about as well as the last 3-4 pages went. Also because sometimes it took us a month to get to that point and I can’t let you let me drag it out any longer.
Favorite Tropes/Lines:
Siblings who squabble constantly but will absolutely kill for each other in the moment. I have a codependent sibling problem.
Extremely platonic, male/female best friends. I’m into any extremely platonic best friendship, but because books and movies and TV have trained me to expect any boy and girl with some level of chemistry or understanding of each other will want to smooch at some point, I fuckin’ love tossing that trope by the wayside for the sake of some super close friends.
Squabble squabble squabble smooch. Even better if the smooch doesn’t solve anything.
Nontraditional families. Fuck me up fam.
Favorite Faces: I do have some PBs that I’m attached to from my recent history (Amanda Arcuri, Nicole Muñoz, Tyler Alvarez, Ysa Penarejo), but I think the PB I’m most stuck with, for better or worse, is Norman Reedus. I PBed the greasiest man on earth too many times. I tried many times to find an alternate PB that occasionally showered, but he was the only person who fit that character, who I’ve now gone and made a teacher.
Favorite Character Archetypes:
SENSITIVE BOYS. Especially sensitive privileged boys. This started way back when with my Zacharias Smith and I will never stop creating my emotionally maladjusted sons of wealth.
OVERACHIEVERS ON THE VERGE OF A MELTDOWN. I’m going to push them over that edge.
LOOK AT THIS PRETTY GIRL THAT’S GONNA PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE. Sometimes combined with the above.
R/IAMVERYSMART. Have you met my favorite son, Percy Weasley?
Inspirations: Usually it’s the face, and usually I have to make the icons myself. Or at least some of the icons. I bond with a character over making hundreds of tiny faces of them, because then I can imagine how I would use each and every one of these godforsaken icons.
Anything Else?: Hope y’all’re ready to get weird this year.
Give Us A Cute Gif: I’ve been watching a lot of Venture Bros lately
