#but I'm just saying i think a lot about how I'd expand the roster if it happened

[luckylunatix]

Listen I know it's like a rule that only characters originally from video games can be in Smash but personally I think you could make a case for Bullfrog Captain Laserhawk being allowed in by way of loophole bullshit like

No, he's not from a game technically..... But the show he's from was made by a video game company, and it features characters from their games in it, and although Bullfrog himself was made for the show he is supposed to represent Assassin's Creed

All this to say that if they ever made another Smash game I'd probably wish for Bullfrog to be in it because even though I know it won't happen I like to think it could if the devs felt like bending the rules just a little bit without getting too crazy

Hi Revive! I just wanted to say I absolutely adore your 'Bunny' OC! New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh was my absolute favorite show as a kid and I loved Rabbit so Bunny is just the cutest thing I've ever seen from TWST OCs! I love him and I was wanting to know if you had written anything specific about him? Also I write little fanfic things with a friend of mine (haven't been posting them recently) and I was wondering if you would mind if we used Bunny as a staff member? He's super adorable and obviously I'd love to see how you imagine him in your head so if he shows up I depict him properly (and I'd definitely give credit to you for creating him if anything he's mentioned gets posted anywhere but it probably won't be). If you would rather I didn't I completely understand but I just wanted to ask because I have always wanted to expand on the faculty roster but I'm not very good at coming up with professors apparently XD. (If it makes a difference, Bunny wouldn't be paired with anyone he's just a cutie patootie that I'd love to have for the characters to interact with.) Thank you whatever you decide and I adore him either way! Thank you for sharing his cute little ears with us! :D

HIII OH MY GOD TYSM!!! I honestly didn't Bartholomew to be gaining the traction hes gotten so its a nice surprise😭 I do have some extra stuff on him!

His nickname, Bunny, is usually reserved for his close friends, who get on his case for his ear-tugging habit (as seen above). Bart/Bartholomew/Professor Lehtonen is for work collegues and students!!

Personality-wise, he's a bit strict and likes to stick to the rules (although, as long as his students are having fun I'm sure he's allowing some stuff to slide). BUT! He's also new as a teacher, so I think a lot of his lesson plans start falling apart really easily (especially in NRC LOL). In a nutshell, hes like the new teacher in school that doesn't know how to properly handle a classroom yet and gets anxious over it. Then again, he gets anxious over a lot of things!

ALSO ON THE FANFIC THING!! GO FOR IT!! JUST PLEASE CREDIT ME AS HIS CREATOR DHJFJFDJH

what’s tmommr(? did i get that right?) about?

TMMOMR, which was just the name i came up with for tagging's sake, stands for The Many Mysteries of Monster's Rift. I said I'd stick with that name but since saying so, I've done a lot of deep thought about the characters and the world and I'm not sure how hard I'll cling to that name in the future... but I'll still use it for now ^_^;...

Anyways originally I designed the tmmomr characters as supernatural beings, ranging from stuff like vampires and werewolves and witches, to cryptids and aliens and other kinds of monsters. Everybody had something going on with them that made them supernatural in some way. It was going to be a small town mystery about a rapidly changing environment, and an attempt to fix things before things got deadly.

Buttttt... while I still wanna keep some supernatural flair in there, I think I'm wanting to go a different direction with the characters. I've considered lately the idea of inserting them into many stories, different roles and settings every time. There's probably plenty of other and better examples out there than this, but sort of like Happy Tree Friends in a way? You know, how not all the characters in the roster are necessary for any given story, and the ones that are involved sort of just assume the role best fitting to them for said story.

I'd like to do something like that. It might also be because I can't settle on one environment or setting for them. I want them sci-fi and I want them medieval and I want them noir fiction and I want them having sleep overs or traveling the world or doing fuck all.

TL;DR, it isn't about much right now. It's mostly character designs and some have more character development than others. I'd be happy to talk about them & expand upon them if you or anybody else is curious, though :3!

HSHQTASK059: FAREWELL

when did you join ? what made you join ? what do you remember from the plotlines that were current at the time ? where were you in life when you joined and where are you now ?

I joined in June '17! I was on my summer break and needed some casual fun hobby. I had been in other groups but I hadn't stuck in one. Then HSHQ came and stole me away. I think when I joined the major plot was the Portuguese-Italian attack on Spain. I had picked a Brazilian crown princess and since she was related to the Portuguese, I got involved in it a bit. I remember having a hard time understanding the lore and reasoning behind it and it's why Flavia was kind of anti-Braganzas lmao. Retrospectively, I was looking for a logical reason when I should have understood that "for the drama" was a valid reason haha

which characters have you written over the years ?

Flavia, Fanni, Lixue, Roman, one Andorran, Robbie... I think that's all? I've been quite conservative with my roster.

what is your favourite plotline that you've been part of ?

It would have to be Roman's arch. I liked the fact that it had a proper ending and a clear storyline. It was also the kind of story I had never had the chance to write because it required so much time and it required loyalty from all members. It was an unique experience so it gets the special mention.

what about other people's plotlines ?

I think I'll give this one to Sergi-Remei-Chico thing. The whole Spanish fires, Spain vs. Catalonia + Andorra vs. France. I think it was a compact set of stories that worked individually but still created a larger story. Okay, now that I think about this a bit more, this is probably a cop out since Fanni was somewhat involved in this, but I swear I'm talking about Chimei more than France's role in all of this.

who is your favourite character from the ones you've played ? why ? what made you love them ? what made them so fun to write ?

I can't choose between Roman and Fanni. I think it's pretty clear to everyone that I love Fanni. She has had some of the best plots that I've ever had the chance to write and there hasn't been a dull moment with her. Through Fanni I got to write some complex and dark feelings, and I think it worked as some kind of therapy too because when I put some of those feelings into words, I got to rationally look at some of deeper and hidden feelings I myself harboured. I do want to put a disclaimer here that Fanni is a much much much unhappier person than I am but I think everyone can relate to comparing yourself to others or feeling like a lesser person? If you don't know what I'm talking about, this is very awkward lmao. The emotional side of writing Fanni was fun and I feel like I made so many discoveries and felt proud of my writing. But.... Roman is so special to me. He was a complex character and a character I had to spend time on a lot. I really had to think about his motives and I had to find a backstory for him that worked. His relationship with Giselle was one of my favourite relationships to write because there were so many emotions stitched into it. I think I should write the relationship task for them just to get all of my thoughts out. Roman was interesting to write. That is all. And I echo Hails' words when I say that it was fun to write a more down-to-earth character. Someone who wasn't overly wealthy and obnoxious. I enjoyed writing characters for Eastern Europe. It was maybe an easy option to choose since it's what I know well. I'm a bit saddened by the fact that I didn't get the chance to write about Fanni's complexes more. It would have been fun to expand on her tough relationship with Hungary.

if you could relive a plotline, which would it be ?

Oooooh.... I think I'd go with post-break up Farnauld? It was a very exciting time and the interactions were fun to write. What I would change would be how we ended up extending the break up? The reconcilation should have happened a year quicker haha. Wait no. That's my second option. My first option would be Isanni in the beginning. Their interactions were super intense and I loved the complexity of their relationship. I'm very pleased with their storyline but I wish I had written the beginning more.

is there a plotline that you'd edit now if you could ?

I know if I edited these plotlines, Fanni would be somewhere different so technically I wouldn't change these but... I think the beginning of Tekla and Fanni's interactions. I think I'd have Fanni be a bit more open. I would have liked to see their relationship as a supportive one. The other one that I'd edit would be Fanni and Nadya. I think it would have been fun to have them actually become friends. I do stand behind my replies, they were accurate portrayals but I think there was some wasted potential by having them end up being almost-friends.

what's a plotline you wish you would have been able to finish before closing or just write more of ?

Tekla and Fanni. I needed just one more thread gaah! Their dynamic was the most important one for me. Fanni's codependency on Tekla was so interesting and fun to write. I think an ending to their difficulties would have been cathartic.

what is your favourite ooc memory ?

I have to say I'm not that involved in OOC stuff as you guys have probably noticed haha. I enjoyed the HSHQfeed stuff and... Naomi's shanenigans.

where can others find you if they want to get in touch ?

Through tumblr, this blog, but I think I'll disappear akbgdjag If you end up reopening or joining some group together, please let me know! I'd love to write with you guys again <3

what else would you like to say ?

I never thought a group would mean this much to me yet here we are! I've loved every second of it and I think I've been given a special opportunity to express myself through writing. Everyone's dedication has amazed me and I'm literally literally so so happy that I made HSHQ my home. I'm so sad that it has come to an end. I don't know if I would have had much more to give but it's hard to say goodbye. Seven years is a long time to know people! I can't believe I've graduated and switched jobs all while being here. If I compare my life pre-HSHQ and post-HSHQ, I can barely believe it myself! Thank you everyone, it's been a truly wonderful experience <3 I think I'll write a few things and if you still want to write a thread or two, don't hesitate to message me <3

Welcome back! I love transformers! Which continuity are you interested in? Any favorite characters in particular? Do you have any oc’s? (No pressure if you don’t I’m just curious) <3

Thank you, it's good to be back abfjdbdk! and HECK YEAH TRANSFORMERS 🤝!!!

Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to Talk About Transformers, I will take it graciously and with extreme amounts of vigour and rambling!

Under the cut because of the aforementioned vigour and rambling.

To answer your first question: I'm largely into the IDW (2005) comics, Animated, and Aligned (TFP) continuities! I've also started watching the original G1 cartoon and Cyberverse which has been really fun!! (I'm absorbing so much information. I'm also idly keeping up with the new Skybound comics, which have me yelling screaming crying etc.)

As for characters... I would say I have no favourite/s except I do also own 1 (one) Transformer and well. for something that basically turns into a brick, he gives me immense amounts of joy.

But yes, other than Soundwave, (who has charmed me in every continuity I've seen so far!!) it's a constantly rotating roster because there are SO many characters to think about (which differ from continuity to continuity!!) and I am having the time of my LIIIIFE!!!

It's so funny going from UT/UTMV to TF because UT fans have a lot of focus on Versions of Literally The Same Two Guys, whereas TF has an overabundance of options to pick and choose from (I love both!!! I just think it's very funny in comparison whfjfbek)

Anyway, I am a big fan of a lot of characters from IDW and particularly MTMTE because they're all a bunch of little FREAKS and I love them. But! If I had to pick a few from there, I'm particularly fond of (in no particular order) Drift, Whirl, First Aid, Ratchet, Swerve, Brainstorm, ALSO NAUTICA I love her dearly!!!!

I'm also a Tarn girlie at heart u_u I am not immune to "big bad dude with a mask and a sexy voice just so many problems". Also I have a special place in my heart for Spinister and Pipes rhfjfbejfbk (I love the Scavengers [similarly, a bunch of little freaks] and Pipes makes me SO SAD. WAIT- ANOTHER CHARACTER THAT MAKES ME VERY SAD: IDW SUNSTREAKER. (He was my first taste of the Horrors of the IDW comics and that STUCK with me)

Similarly, I think the Constructicons (+Prowl in IDW) and Combaticons have SUCH fascinating dynamics hjsjkhksjdfh,, combiners got me going crazy... I NEED to find out more about the other combiner teams. It's a fascinating concept.

As for other continuities... Animated has me sick over Blurr, Shockwave and Swindle, and... well, Optimus has intensely kissable lips in this series. Why did they make him like that. I'm also very fond of TFA!Starscream- he was my favorite back when I watched the series as a kid and it was very fun seeing him with fresh eyes LMAO

Fun fact: TFP was a large part of what got me to actually sit down and check out Transformers but... I actually still haven't watched the series itself (つω⊂* ) I just saw TFP!Soundwave and went "OH okay, I love him and need to find out more" which quickly expanded into me going on a deep dive into Transformers, and resurfacing about a month later having read all the IDW 2005 comics and about an equal amount of fanfic for various continuities whfjgbjrbfk,, BUT even though I haven't watched it yet- TFP already has me hooked on Knockout, Ratchet (and Soundwave ofc LMAO)

And the last answer; unfortunately I don't have any TF OCs (ᴗ_ ᴗ。)........

.........YET.

I have many Thoughts but haven't put together any designs because I want to get better at drawin mechs before I jump into making my own! Hopefully that way I have a better idea of how to put em together LMAO. That being said, I Am in fact plagued with ideas!! Like!!! I'd loooove to take a crack at trying to put together a sailplane/glider OC!

(LOOK AT THEM STUPID LONG WINGS...)

Or!! A pair of mechs, one whos an imaging satellite and the other a telescope! (Real starcrossed lovers type deal... both meant to only watch from afar, both longing to be in the other's place/by their side)

I also have a tradition of making sonas that have wings but can't fly, so I kinda want to make a TF sona with a similar concept- either just with good ol doorwings, or maybe a flier with a messed up gyro which causes problems staying upright in the air 🤔

Anyway!!! This is really long again! Oops but not oops because we all knew this would happen. Thank you again for the ask!! (and the excuse to yell about Transformers shfngbekbgm) Now I will return to my daily schedule of listening to. eurobeat and the Transformers Devastation soundtrack. Bye

[reflectingiridescent]

For the character ask, I'd like your takes on Harry Kim.

I never ever forgot about you. I just needed to rewatch half of Voyager to make sure that I could make this happen.

Headcanon A:  realistic

Harry's 100% in a polycule with Tom and B'elanna - if not on Voyager than definitely when they get back to Earth. I think this is long-term. Also in the polycule: Seven (limited to B'elanna, for at least a little while, and Harry and Tom are very encouraging of this), Beverly Crusher (with B'elanna, and Bev's sometimes in a polycule with Troi and Riker).

I'd go as far as to say that Harry is part of Tom and B'elanna's living situation when they're in one place together

Also, and I'm not sure when exactly this is but maybe possibly after Seven and the Doctor have to share a body (because Voyager is so annoyingly straight for most of the show lol which I have to assume is because of the particular set of people on board because we know that no one cares about orientation at that point in history), Seven sort of starts trying to figure out her attraction to more than just men. But she doesn't really have the vocabulary to talk about this at first. Harry's the one who teases it out of her. And then he helps her! So the Seven/B'elanna part of the polycule is in part thanks to him!

I just like the idea of him being able to help someone else with their relationship problems. A nice flip of the script.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

Harry gets back and gets double-promoted. This trend continues. He gets promoted so quickly and has a reputation for getting promoted so quickly. That, combined with how the Voyager crew comes back and gets legend status, means that everyone forgets about how he never got promoted on Voyager and really just is famous for being the quickest promoted after. That is how he is remembered.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

He gets the storied and excellent Starfleet career he wants, but nothing ever really comes close to what he had on Voyager. Which was maybe the point, since his whole story is about seeing an experience beyond acolades + expanding his idea of family. But sometimes (and only sometimes, because he loves his life), he wonders if his best days are behind him. When it gets particularly bad, Tom can get him out of his funk.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

Lots of musically talented people in Star Trek. He probably has a one-hit-wonder kind of jazz band with the Doctor and Riker. They're one-and-done, but people talk about their performance for years. He gets Seven to sing for them for that one season. She does it under the guise of "wanting to learn more songs", but she secretly likes having something to do (it takes Starfleet an annoyingly long time to figure out what to do with her when she comes back, so she wants a distraction).

Unsolicited Bonus Headcanon: Harry's always been in charge of the Lunar New Year celebration on Voyager. He has a whole system for how to celebrate it even though they're nowhere near Earth's moon. The entire ship celebrates it. There are no exceptions. It's just part of the celebration roster. No one even questions it.

Send me a character!
