the eternal struggle

XD

so. Many. Shipping memes.

I have nothing against shipping in general but my characters are OCs and don't have any pre-established relationships so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope to have ONE of those starter thingies up for everyone on a meme somewhere, even if none of them get picked up. I do realize the best way to get threads is to pick up someone else's and that's fine by me. Two DW threads so far, though idk, one is replying very slowly, but point is I tagged them!

yeah, threads can be v slow sometimes

one of my many rp resolutions is to go bother some of your dudes

<3 Don't overload yourself with resolutions, I have one (budget)

It works both ways, if you offer me a dude I will send one of my dudes to bother them!

but I have a terrible confession: I haven't seen any Star Wars since The Last Jedi

I wasn't even 100% sure Cassian was SW until I googled, he's just sort of in the periphery of my consciousness due to fandom osmosis

ha!

I will tell you a horrible secret: same

aaaaand I haven't seen any superhero movie since Age of Ultron

damn

I am flying on repeated watchings of the one movie and cultural context

ha again, my Barnes is pre-CW

oh wait um was there a character called Cassian Andor in The Last Jedi because I have no recollection XD I only saw it once

no he's from rogue one!

I haven't seen it!

IT'S REAL GOOD KEEVEET

But great then I know your Bucky and I know Mordred so Modrun is good to go too

\o/

Yeah I'll watch it if it is ever on my digibox free watching list XD

fair!

I think rogueone is planning to stream it from netflix soon, if you're down for that sort of thing

I don't have Netflix but pirate-land is an option, only then I have to sacrifice my commute time to watch it because home is not a great movie-watching environment with a little 11 and a half month old wanting to show me his toys one by one

I love him to bits but it will be a while before he'll be my movie watching buddy

alas yes

his wee brain is not ready for media appreciation

I did watch an entire season of a one-season show once for RP so this might still happen

he does really love Little Baby Bum nursery rhymes and a picture book that plays animal sounds

TRAINING WHEELS

(I also have it on amazon, so anytime you are interested & free I will figure out how to Rabbit - The way to watch anything with anyone!)

ahh rabbit <3 I'd love to watch together if we can somehow coordinate

\o/

l'm free but tired for a couple of hours usually after 7pm GMT (baby has gone to sleep)

weekends also offer possibilities

I shall scheme to that end

Tell me about your dudes and your versions of your dudes?

spoiler I am super interested in other people's OCs these days

oh man

I am not very GOOD at OCs honestly

Tell me about your versions of your dudes then

I also don't know shit about Cassian Andor, I've seen his face, I know he's SW, and now I know he was in Rogue One XD

I made Flora and Rene for plotlines of anothersadsong's but they're not really ready for primetime yet

and Moren is a grumpy tentacle monster from space

aww bless! (if I ever have a daughter I will call her Flora)

who is from an RP I'm doing off and on with Caora and she also writes the odd smut story about them

and Griffin is a tired dad!ghost

why is he a ghost, is it like in Due South where Fraser's always chatting with his dead dad

whose dad is he

who can't rest until a] someone buries his remains which are RIGHT FUCKIN THERE IN THE YARD, and b] he finishes his Great American Novel

he's not TECHNICALLY a dad, but he dads a bunch of other ghosts

he has got a phantom hitchhiker boarding in his guest room

it's all very spooky and wholesome

oh god I love him

can I have him

I KNOW RIGHT

I do really need to do more with him

<3

Bucky is in his recovery period between TWS and CW, trying to figure out how to person and avoid well-meaning pestering

because I am all about those neurodivergent feels

I can dig that

What's he doing while he's trying to figure things out?

lurking, occasionally poking the fourth wall on dear_player, getting adopted by a couple different Tough Ladies, working on his trauma scrapbook

practicing not freaking out when someone asks him what he wants

you know, normal ex-brainwashed-assassin stuff

_trauma scrapbook_

XD

THE TRAUMA SCRAPBOOK IS CANON!

okay it's more of a trauma journal

but

he pasted the Smithsonian exhibit flyer in, that sort of counts as scrapbooking

oh tru

I love that though

all my modern dudes are open to superhero threads even though I'm for some reason only ever creating powerless humans (who sometimes end up turned to vampires or magicians by events outside of my control)

lots of disjointed scribbling, occasional full pages of block lettering like "STEVE WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS"

wow okay then, plurk, just lag forever why don't you

this is a very important piece of canon

I NEVER ASKED FOR THESE SUPERHERO FEELS

hey, regular humans are important to the RP ecosystem!

nn it's lagging for me too

Cassian is a stressed & repressed Space Spy for the good guys, although he has serious doubts as to whether he is himself a good guy

except when he's a poly suburban dad with a parrot and an extensive adopted family

because I will write All The AUs and you can't stop me

ghost dad and parrot dad both have my attention I have to say

bonus on parrot dad, it won't matter if I haven't seen Rogue One

what's the parrot called?

the parrot is the mundane incarnation of K-2, the eight foot murderbot sidekick

(cassian hijacked him from the empire for his security protocols and also because he was lonely)

murderbot > parrot, I can see that

I understand parrots are pretty murdery

So is it called K-2?

(a lot of people make him a dog? and nan and I were discussing how really that doesn't work very well for us, he should be a BIRD, and so the parrotverse was born)

as in the mountain

or K, conversationally

okay I am too parrot focused now but what kind of parrot is he?

it, they

K is an African grey (not sure which variety, nan will probably know)

and uses he

oh, gorgeous bird

he likes mango, destruction, scritchies, and embarrassing his human by swearing at strangers in Spanish and/or Welsh

That is a well travelled parrot, I'd find that impressive

If your modern AU Cassian is available for that sort of thing I could come up with a starter after negoatiation, but if he is specific to a particular shared AU, I understand!

oh he's pretty flexible

I have him in a couple threads where he's single (except for the parrot)

and the adoptionverse is v. OC-friendly

excellent. If he's in the US, there's Amber and Pru who are American, and Reuben who is a traveller. Connor, Jude and Festus are kinda stuck in England, though I could come up with a reason to bring them over.

:3 :3 :3

We can play him in a relationship too, just since it's with another RPer we mysteriously never meet that S.O. XD

they're washing their hair that day

stuck in traffic

well, one of them is nan's Jyn, so

dealing with a plumbing issue

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN

lol

I gotta crash for a while but I am all about this

when I return I shall PLOT

yayyy I will be lurk-plurking

oh my gosh that's ambitious and really proactive! I'm impressed!

(I also super need to throw my folks at you)
