| A Thing |
[10 Feb 2012|09:03pm] |
So a long-ass time ago I saved a list of writing prompts (I think I was taking a break from RP), and intended to write short stories or snippets or whatever around them. I only did a few, posted in my LJ. I'm putting this one here too, since there are actually more people here that I communicate with than on LJ. :B So um, here's a thing. It's sad, fair warning. Sorry. But not too sorry.
Title: Collapse Your Light Into Earth
Prompt: Funeral
Character: Aaron from 27 Hours, sort of Curtis, and their dog Chaser
Rating: R-ish
Word Count: 952
Authors Notes/Disclaimer: You guys know them here. Inspired by one single song that's just eternally sad. The visuals were there, I had to get it out of my head.
( Aaron didn't know what happened. )

Stolen from Siobhan, because it looked fun.
What Halloween costume would your character wear? (Assume they were forced to choose, uh, by aliens if they're grumpy or not in a time/place with Halloween.) Why?
Conv:
Kota - Rockstar, complete with fake arm-tattoos and face piercings and anything leather he could buy used or borrow, and lots and lots of hair gel for a mohawk. And he would carry his Rock Band guitar-controller.
Leija - She's kind of cheesy, so she'd totally get fluffy angel wings and a tinsel-halo for her own amusement.
Soren - A very tattooed Conan the Barbarian, just because he wants an excuse to wear a loincloth and carry a big sword around.
Isaac - Isaac is pretty sure he hates Halloween now, but if forced, he'd go as a 50s greaser all John Travolta style.
Joshua - Zombie. Mostly face paint and some ripped-up clothes. The boy's not very creative.
Ash - Wolverine! Hey bub! And he might-could do the claws too! CLAWS, PEOPLE.
Jason - Fetish slaveboy, no question. Or, alternatively, whatever pleased Amarinth the most.
Jesse - If it didn't require shaving his head or a crappy-looking skullcap, Spider Jerusalem. Since he'd have to costume on the cheap, he'd probably be Kurt Cobain.
David - Elvis. No question. Sparkly Vegas Elvis too, hell yeah.
Ray - I see Ray being a werewolf, for some reason.
Seth - Something dumb and sarcastic, like a Hello My Name Is sticker. He's no fun.
Derek - Sexy Anne-Rice-style vampire, because god knows he couldn't stand to be anything but charming in front of people.
27 Hours:
Aaron - An EMT (lazy), but he probably wouldn't go to any parties or anything.
Judiel - I can only picture him wearing a shirt with the number 42 on it. So he'd be The Answer.
Lex - Halloween is interesting when you're a shifter. If it wouldn't freak everybody out, she'd walk around as various celebrities (mostly Vin Diesel, for Ivy) until she had to change again.
Logan - Logan's no fun either, so he'd be something macabre like a suicide victim or something.
Rost - Every day is Halloween for Rost. He'd deck himself out in his best gypsy gear and really play up the stereotype even more.
Satoru - Something sciencey no one would understand, like the molecular structure of caffeine made out of coat hangers and colored styrofoam balls.
Torlin - Death from the Sandman comics, because she likes to be a little goth princess sometimes.
Wood - The biggest, buffest Cher ever, given he could find a long black wig and a sparkly slinky dress. And he would do his damndest to cajole Trick into being Sonny Bono.
Aaaaaand now I want a crack!verse costume party to happen. -_-

| 30 Days of Ships - Day 06, 07, 08 |
[08 Oct 2011|08:11pm] |
Day 06 - The best kiss?
First kisses almost always hit me right in the heart (I'm sappy, I know, I know, eat me :B). I'm kind of a sucker for the vampire kisses, too (Lucien/Soren, Satoru/Terrence, mmm). Both the sensual ones that are careful about fangs and the don't-give-a-fuck-om-nom-blood ones. Recently, Trick and Wood's first kiss was amazing, and Kieran and Torlin's was super sweet.
Day 07 - The most heartbreaking scene?
I've had quite a few heart-wrenchers. The confession scene with Isaac and Peyton really tore my heart out. :-/ I teared up in a few spots, I must admit. It's a tie between that one and the flashback with Aaron and Curtis when he got bitten. Both of those, augh. Hurty-chest. I loved them though, they both turned out -awesome-. I think I was even writing them around the same time? So it was kind of exhausting, but delicious.
Day 08 - The pairing with the most baggage?
Neil and Seth are defined by their baggage. Lucien and Soren have quite a bit between them, but I think they (usually :B) balance each other out nicely. Ash and Joey are kind of the same way, only with less angst, as neither of them are very dramatic people. XD Curtis and Aaron have plenty of baggage that they don't even talk about. Now that I'm pondering it, I have lots of baggaged-chars. XD <3

[06 Oct 2011|07:10pm] |
(I might do these a few at a time, 'cause I suck at consistency. :-p)
Day 03 - A pairing that needs to happen now?
Oh lawd. I try not to plan ahead with ships (unless I'm creating chars WITH someone, to bring in together), but there's of course stuff I'd love to see happen. :B Thad and Lex srsly need to bang at least once and get it over with. So far I think Kieran and Torlin are adorable, but that hasn't gotten very far yet. I'd love to see her WITH someone though, she's so sweet when she's in a relationship. I'd love to find someone for Rost to at least dally with, so someone can fully experience his crazy. :B Derek needs a fuckbuddy, but most of my Conv kids are pretty set.
I pre-ship other people's kids even less than my own. XD I'm loving reading some in the making, though. I adore the whole Cassandra/Ripper/Chance mess, can't wait to see that come to a head.
Day 04 - The pairing with the most chemistry?
Like Sara said, all mine have -some- level of chemistry. They have to, or it's just no fun. I think Trick and Wood had the most immediate chemistry, at least in recent memory. It was like their eyes met and they were like "oh baby" right off the bat. XD Yum. And Soren and Lucien have always had amazing chemistry. They can't keep their hands off each other, but they can still go so emotionally deep. Love it. I love Ray and Monica's chemistry, too. <3 Playing them IC is still relatively new, but I still feel like they've been together for as long as they have and they're at that comfy place. ^_^
Day 05 - The pairing with the least chemistry?
Ships with no chemistry don't last, as I said. So ... none currently? There've been a few in my RP past that just fell really flat. :-/ Natalya and Kurt come to mind. Rose and Kota didn't ever really click the way I wanted them to. But it happens, it's just part of the whole thing. ^_^ In real life and RP life.

| 30 Days of Ships - Day 02 |
[04 Oct 2011|05:14pm] |
Day 02 - What was your very first ship?
This is going waaaaaay way back. Like ... when I first started roleplaying Way Back (yes, I've always been a shameless shipper). Like 8 or 9 years ago, I started RP on the White Wolf World of Darkness Unmoderated chats. Lex was my very first character, she was a Black Fury werewolf. They were an all-female tribe, known for being particularly fierce. She was a lot younger then, terribly angry, and a bare knuckle boxer.
She happened to meet an older mage dude named Doc, and that was how I first met his player, Dave. I know Bet and Amy at least know who I'm talking about. :B Anyway, Lex and Doc fell into this incredibly passionate affair thing, despite Doc being engaged in-game at the time (her player was never around, pretty much). It was all very heart-wrenching and butterfly-inspiring and caused lots of drama within the crew Doc ran around with and was melodramatic; in short, it was the type of shit I LOOOOVE. XD We've played them on and off in different settings and situations, and they still hold a special sort of place in my heart. Dave does too, since he's the reason I moved over to journal games in the first place and I still love him to bits, even though we don't write together (currently) anymore.
*nostalgic sigh*

| 30 Days of Ships - Day 01 |
[03 Oct 2011|05:43pm] |
Day 01 - What is your current favorite ship?
I'm making the executive decision not to pick only one, because I CAN'T, Y'ALL. I love all my ships passionately. The ones eating my brain the most at the moment are Neil/Seth, Trick/Wood, Lucien/Soren, and Peyton/Isaac.
Neil and Seth because they are RIGHT AT an intense tipping point where everything's probably going to change for them. It's had build up for months and I'm just like lakjf;dahgoiewaofjeaojljkdafjljgorha about it.
Trick and Wood because they're my happy place. They're sexy, Trick is the sweetest thing on two legs, there's angst potential there, but the two of them still giggle and wrestle around like kids and yay. Sometimes I just have to crawl up in some Trick/Wood and hide. <3
Lucien and Soren because of the CURRENT ANGST OMG. I'm dying for Sunday's scene already. Death death death. They're always really intense, and Soren In A Bad Place always consumes my brainmeats, and he is verreh verreh woobie right now. Love. Them.
Peyton and Isaac because like Sara said, they were the anti-angst ship for so long. I love that it might go in a whole new direction, and being in Isaac's headspace right now is ... interesting. And my heart just aches for them. ;_; But it's so goooood. <3
Honorable mentions include Curtis/Aaron (wangsty but oh so sweet at the same time, in their way), Monica/Ray (yaaay mature love! :D they make me happy), and Joey/Ash (they're so comfy and sexy and familiar, like a great pair of jeans).

Pick a character and come up with what they will be doing 20 years from now (now=game time). This is not an accuracy thing, just a whatever comes to mind! It has to fit the character of course but who's to say that your character, given the right opportunities, couldn't become a Hollywood actor or a televangelist.

Is there any PB you use or have used in the past that you feel kind of weird about using? If yes, then why and who? XD How about a character, anyone you feel weird about writing?
1. Of my current PBs, the one I feel weirdest about is Brad Pitt. Mostly because he's over-used (not in our circles, but elsewhere), and unless it's the -intent- of a character to be a hunka-hunka-burnin'-love sort of guy (see: Soren), I try to avoid using the Traditionally Handsome Hunksa Hunksa type PBs. (Not that I don't love my boys and would do most of them in a heartbeat, but I'm aware that my taste is usually not so mainstream.) The exception being Eion Bailey for Ray, but he was already picked and isn't an A-List celebrity. But omgyum. Anyway, I do drool over Brad in those roles when he's all dirtyfilthy and over the edge and violent. It suits him, idk. But his Fight Club/Snatch looks matched what I had in my head for Wood, I couldn't imagine anyone else's face. But still, I feel like a sellout. :B
2. I also kind of feel bad using Jensen Ackles. He is lovely, yus, but probably wouldn't have been my choice for Derek. But oh well, I adopted him, so.
3. He's not in play yet, but I have a feeling Malachai (crazy preacherman) is going to be a difficult challenge for me. I've played some crazies before, but he's going to be ... damaging crazy. Insidiously so. -_- I think that's why I haven't actually finished his application yet, I'm a little worried. I dunno if I'll do him justice, or if he'll get any real interaction at all.
4. Sometimes I feel weird writing my pornier boys. Wood, Soren, Ash on occasion ... I know they have depth, but they do hump a lot. >.>; I love Wood to bits, but I feel like he looks like shameless self-indulgence from the outside. I mean, what char isn't? But he really is. Bah, hello self-consciousness!

1. Which of your characters works best with their PB (i.e. you could see that actor/personage playing them in a movie)?
2. Which works worst (your character and their lookalike should not be in the same room)?
3. Which character was it pretty much impossible to find the right face for?
4. Which character fell right into place, or even was planned to fit a certain PB?
1. Really, PBs are such an integral part of making a character for me, I'm not sure that any of them -don't- work. I always spend lots of time during the app process staring at certain pictures that seem to encapsulate the character. Some of them aren't actors, of course, but if they were ... I think Ben Foster fits -really- well as Seth. It's that intense crazy-eye stare he's so good at, and he's very crouchy in some photoshoot pictures and it just works. I sort of shamelessly fashioned Rost a bit after his PB because he's awesome, so there's him. XD James Morrison's face is absolute perfection for Aaron.
2. If I had to pick one, it would probably be Kota and Daniela Sea. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of transgendered folks in pop culture, so finding a pb was a bit difficult. Daniela is just a -tiny- bit more feminine in the face than I picture Kota in my head. And ideally, Colin Farrell would have all of Soren's tattoos so I could get some delicious shirtless icons, but you can't have everything. :B
3. I struggled a lot with Soren's face, honestly. Back when I made him for the game he was originally in, I sifted and sifted through people and just wasn't happy. Since he was intended to be a just-for-shits-and-giggles character, someone suggested Colin, and I was like "okay good enough." It was also difficult to find Seth's pb until I REMEMBERED HOW AWESOME BEN FOSTER IS. XD
4. The list of PBs who fell into place is much bigger than those who didn't. :B Rost was kind of built around his PB. So was Jesse. Ani Difranco has been Lex's PB ever since I started having to have them (Lex is my oldest RP char), but I picked her immediately and she works so well. David was built around Jemaine Clement, because I sooooo wanted to use him somewhere. There are actually a lot of PBs that I routinely ogle and want to build chars for, but I know I shouldn't. -_-;
