`➠⠀:⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ GETTING TO KNOW YOU

respond to the following prompts out of character. then, tag nine others that you would like to get to know a little bit better.

`➠⠀:⠀⠀ ROLEPLAYER NAME :⠀⠀ ησνємвєя ( Novi )

`➠⠀:⠀⠀ ROLEPLAYER PRONOUNS :⠀⠀ She / her

`➠⠀:⠀⠀ MUSE NAME :⠀⠀ Katherine Pierce

`➠⠀:⠀⠀ PREFERRED COMMUNICATIONS / discord or tumblr messages for out of character chat? :⠀Discord I HATE tumblr DM's with a passion.

`➠⠀:⠀⠀ EXPERIENCE / how long you’ve roleplayed:⠀⠀For a very long time, but on the internet? On and off since 2k5? Tumblr on and off since 2k12.

`➠⠀:⠀⠀ PREFERRED ROLEPLAY TYPE / fluff, smut, or angst? :⠀⠀I am an angst queen, I will write angst all day everyday. I actually do not like fluff most of the time I think it's boring. F

`➠⠀:⠀⠀ PET PEEVES AND DEALBREAKERS :

⠀poor characterization is my number one. I just can not stand.... I've never been shy about this I HATE shitty characterizations. Like care, a little please- or just write an OC and use the FC.

I am not a fan of changed FC's but its not a deal breaker just hate them- its a personal preference idgaf why ppl do it youre allowed- it just irritates me PERSONALLY but isn't a deal breaker.

purity culture in the RPC being more bigoted than the bible and trying to run ppl off the net for writing villain characters as villains. Touch grass.

Anon hate its almost 2024 find something to do with your time that is productive. You are not accomplishing anything you are not a hero touch grass.

REPLIES THAT DONT MOVE THE SCENE OR PLOT FORWARD. I do not care if you match length but you gotta move the scene forward. If I have to carry the whole RP on my back Im gonna drop it and it's gonna be harder for you to get a new one going with me.

People that act like your worth is only in your replies. You can follow someone to support them and bc you like seeing their stuff, it does not have to be a write or die community. You can be friends, it's possible.

The sexism towards female OC's and how they get judged twice as hard and over looked twice as hard as Male oc's.

`➠⠀:⠀⠀ PLOTS OR MEMES? :⠀⠀Yes.

`➠⠀:⠀⠀ LONG REPLIES OR SHORT REPLIES? :⠀⠀ I don't really do a lot of one liners anymore unless I know they're just for quick banter or will turn into longer replies. I prefer the ability to really dive into Katherine's mindset in the moment.

`➠⠀:⠀⠀ BEST TIME TO WRITE? :⠀I do not sleep and there for any time I am able to focus on they keyboard.

`➠⠀:⠀⠀ ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE? :⠀⠀God here come the anons. But Yes. I am a lot like Katherine, we've been through a lot of similar things and learned similar behaviors to survive. We both can come off charismatic or distant at the flip of a switch, we both have a rage temper, we both have confidence, and we're both constantly rolling our eyes at whoever has a problem with us today <3 I however am not violent like she is so that's good. I'm actually surprisingly a pacifist, and I try to be there for people no matter what they've put me through. So. There's our differences too.

[just-eyris-things]

[Redacted] told me to expose you all to my favourite stupid bullshit so...

Not really my favourite stupid bullshit but defo a stupid bullshit discourse!....actually it's just me blabbering here because I am too shy to spam my friends in DMs and discord servers....

Dying and coming back wrong. Gosh, I LOVE this trope. So much. Eyris did that, Airell did that, my Trahearne lives AU did that. And it's all Airell's fault. I love tormenting my sonboy (gender neutral) ok. Also fun fact Freya would be the only one to survive 1v1 with Balthy. Nia survived only because it was 2v1 (2 means her and Eyris)

Also this is a joke: brb im making Airell a cisgirl because the number of people who mistake him for such keeps growing at a worrisome rate.

Also fun fact, I used in-game Eyris to change my nickname because previously I was known as [redacted], which was pretty weeb-y. And I have some really bad associations with that group, sadly... so I used her to rebrand. And tbh... I never felt more comfortable in a "new skin" than I do now.

Next! I absolutely fucking love AUs. The drama but make it in a different setting. The drama but this character is somebody completely different. I mean, whatever you can think of - I have it!! Mostly I subject Airell to this hell. My fictional child must hate me, lol.

Speaking of fictional children (am I the only one to whom this sounds wrong?), I think I will somehow get my [redacted] Risha into some different setting so I can have more fun with him. Develop him some more. For now I am rotating him around like a frog on a vinyl. I want to talk about him but all the people who know his source universe (this is how badly i dont want that community to think im cringe so i dont mention the name hhhh) already know everything about him and I am not going to spam them with the same shit over and over, right.

I mean i already do that with Airell with some people and that must be annoying.

MOVING ON, I am expecting my bow to arrive SOON. like... idk. Between 13-18 July. Or so the store told me. Im so excited. Life is good. It also seems im going to get this job I applied for so aaaa life is good. Now I only need to go back to my comic....which turns out harder than I expected. But hopefully I will have it finished by the end of July.

So...yeah. stupid bullshit time over, i guess.

One of those guess the mechs posts

Featuring the lovely @frog-man-says-gay-rights​

[Image Id:

The first image is a photo of gunpowder tim. He is a white man with long, brown hair, goggles on his forehead, and black marks around his eyes. He's holding a guitar, with bright lights behind him giving him a red glow and a flash that gives him red eyeshine. There are screenshots of discord dms reading: "Dave, mildly feral. maybe the brains of the operation?" and "bro what did the moon do to you?"

The second image is of Jonny D'ville. Jonny is a white man with with mid-length blond hair. He is screaming into a microphone. There are screenshots of discord dms reading: Ryan. i dont wanna say peak feral in case i meet someone more feral but definitely feral. has 1-3 brain cells. murdered a man in 2002 but it does not haunt him bc he does not remember. and hey isnt that the guy that writes the magnus archives.

The third image is of Drumbot Brian. Drumbot Brian is a white man wearing golden metaliic facepaint to simulate metal, with drawn on silver streaks to dictate where the metal plates end. Brian has curly orange hair, a beard, and a hat with goggles on it. He is smiling. There are screenshots of discord dms over him, they read. (over the hat) “oh thats a kickass hat” and “Brian, or Ben. cant decide but it definitely starts with a B. a little bit feral but only bc he hangs out with those other two, like a feral sponge. definately the brains of the operation. gives off Sciencey vibes, he seems smart. 5-10 brain cells.” and “ could also be a William “

The forth image is of Raphaella La Cognizi. She is a blond  white woman bathed in blue light.She is wearing a red dress and has metal wings with blue fairy lights strung on them. She is holding a microphone. There are dicord dms. They read “pretty!!“ and “Janet? or Jane. she gives off UwU flower crown vibes but she could probs kick my ass in a fight. i cant tell how feral she is, id give it a 7/10 on the feral scale. 3-6 brain cells“

The fifth image is of Ivy Alexandria. Ivy is a white person with short dyed red hair shaved along the sides. She stares directly into the camera, ominously. She sits on a playground, and is holding a yellow book. The Discord dms read “looks kinda like Poison Ivy from the DC universe so I'll call her Ivy. i honestly could not guess a name for the life of me. very feral. once fought a 12 year old over a granola bar. will absolutely do it again. maybe 2 brain cells on a good day” and “she looks like she'd kill me over a dirty look, i want to befriend her”

The sixth image is of Nastya Rasputina. Nastya is white and has brown, shoulder-legnth hair. She wears a blue coat and has a wrench at her side, and has glasses. The discord dms read “Anna, or something that can be shortened to Anna. can and will kill me. not very feral,, but just enough to make your day slightly more difficult. the number of brain cells fluctuates” and “oh thats a kickass name”

The seventh image is of Ashes O’Riley. They are a black person and wear a fedora with a red ribbon around the bace. They also wear a suit, and are wearing red feather earrings.They have a grey tie. The discord dms read “a very cool person with a very enby name, like Gunpowder or Smoke or smth. i love them with my entire soul. they want to go home, but will kick ass in order to. Smart, but also a dumbass” and “arson baby” in all capital letters.

The eighth image is of Marius Von Raum. He is a brown person wearing a green coat, with red cuffs, a mon-goggle. He had a beard and a metal arm. He is kneeling on the ground and smiling at the camera. The discord dms read "very feral. possibly peak feral. if you hadnt told me which one of them had blown up the moon id guess it was this fucker. absolutely chaotic. but also loving. no thoughts head empty heart full" and "oh I didn't guess a name. Hm. Alex."

The ninth image is of the toy soldier. Its a white person with an army hat, and a red and black suit coat with a black bowtie, a military uniform. It is holding a mandolin and standing in front of a microphone. There are screenshots of discord dms reading "doesnt have a name and is referred to with "that one" and "hey you" exclusively. little feral, but mostly babey vibes. very dumb, but trying their best" and "awww baby" and "I love it."

The tenth image is of Doctor Carmilla. She is an asian woman with short hair and a stripey shirt.She holds a stringed instrument, I think its a ukulele. The discord dms read “what a cool looking person” and “ he wants a hug but doesnt know how to ask for it so instead she pushes people away and is Aggressive. Marilyn. “ End id.]

portal 2 project???

portal 2 has an AMAZING narrative. AMAZING. but if you want to rewatch the story... you cant. your two options are to watch let’s plays and randomly skip around to hopefully hear all the dialogue, or to read the quotes on the wiki... which are seperated by character, not scene, and dont give environmental details. this makes it impossible for people who dont want to put in a massive amount of time in to experience the story of the game in one definitive place. so, i propose:

THE PORTAL 2 PROJECT

the end product of this project would be a video, posted to YouTube, that has all of the relevant scenes and dialogue in order. it would play out like a movie, so people who haven't or don't want to play the game can still enjoy and understand the story in its entirety. it would use screen recordings of the game, so you can see whats happening and hear it.

what would be included in the video:

-any moment where there is dialogue (exceptions listed below)

-plot relevant details: for some examples, getting the portal gun, finding a rattman den, introducing a new puzzle element, when cave says that portals can be placed on the moon. (this is to better help people who aren't familiar with the franchise understand what the things they're seeing on the screen are.) (most of these would be short clips: for example, when hard light bridges are introduced, the clip would show chell walking up to it and standing on it, and then the video would move on.)

-major scenes, obviously. an example is when chell falls into the pit or unlocks old aperture.

-small, funny details. (without lingering for too long.) it wouldn’t be portal 2 if you dont show the little details! examples include the borealis dock, the elevator room screens, or when wheatly is monologuing and you can go back and he’ll keep monologuing (”you’re at my mercy! wait- come back! (chell goes back) FOOL! you’re at my mercy, and i dont have any!”

-exploring the enviroment: for example, the screen recorder would stop to look at the awards in old aperture, zoom in on chell’s name for the potato experiment, listen to the optional/hidden cave experiment dialogue, as well as look at old posters and signs that tell you about the dangers of old ap. just so the audience is grounded.

-ive touched on this in other bullet points, but not everyone has the time or willpower to look for the little hidden things in the game. this would make sure that you get a very full, portal 2 experience.

what would NOT be included:

-puzzle solving. some chambers take a few minutes to solve, and there is no dialogue. this interrupts the story. unless the puzzle solving is relevant to the plot, like quickly introducing new mechanics to the audience, it wont be included.

-unimportant dialogue. for example, in the neurotoxin generator area, whealtly will ramble for - i think i lasted 4 or 5 minutes before i left - a while, just trying to convince the neurotoxin generator to shut itself off or something. while entertaining, it takes away from the focus of the project.

an example of the formatting:

i imagine the format to look something like this: (im using chapter 1 as an example)

-full, uncut opening with the wheately escape. the cameraman waits at the door before opening it so you get his full dialogue. ~5 minutes

-chell goes into her old relaxation vault, listens to the announcer, puts a button on the pressure pad, then enters the elevator. this introduces the button/cube mechanic. (this scene comes directly after the last, with no cuts). since there is announcer dialogue and new mechanics, this stays relatively uncut. ~1 minute

-chell exits elevator, hears funny announcer dialogue. the camera looks at the room for 5 seconds so the audience understands the setting for the scene, as well as the act. ~15-20 seconds

-chell presses a button to open a portal. this is the first time a portal is seen. she walks through the portal. this introduces the core mechanic of the game. (~30 seconds) (once the mechanic has been used once or twice, the rest of the puzzle is cut)

that would be the basic format. for things like multiple uneventful test chambers in a row, it would show slow fading shots of the test chamber number so you understand that time is passing. this would be intercut with shots of the setting.

HOW CAN I GET HELP / THIS PROJECT STARTED??

getting all of this footage is too much for one person. editing it... is too much for one person. ALL OF THE FOOTAGE HAS TO COME FROM PEOPLE WORKING ON THIS PROJECT. IT CANT COME FROM OTHER PEOPLES YOUTUBE VIDEOS. For this project, I’ll need people to record the footage, people to help edit the footage, and 1-3 people who know the story well and are willing to go over the game’s plot and determine what scenes and details we need, so the records know what to record and what to focus on. 

Do you want to help capture footage? if so, youll need:

-access to the PC version of the game with LOW LAG gameplay

-a screen recorder program. it CANNOT have a watermark on the finished product. needs to be high resolution footage.

-(the recordings will NOT feature your voice or a face cam.)

-(you do not need mods and please leave the portal gun with its base texture)

-(id be comfortable with each screen recorder person to cover around 1-2 chapters... so maybe 4-5 people, unless i can find more. youd be following some directions on what to record. you do not need to edit, just get the footage.)

Can’t do that? Can you EDIT video footage? you’ll need:

-a video editor. high quality. i dont know the editing industry, i dont know what software exists.

-MUST be able to export it without a watermark and in high quality.

-(each editor will be responsible for a chapter or chapters. then render your final product. one editor will put all of the finished chapters together. this means you can use different software from the other editors, and will have a good amount of control over your assigned part. i dont have a number for how many editors there will be. id like more than one.)

Can’t do that? What about choosing the important scenes and details and acting as a sort of ‘writer’ for the plot? You’ll need:

-a good knowlege of the game and its history and fun facts. if youre obsessed with this game and franchise... yeah same. but as long as youre interested and know it well, thats fine

-be able to browse the wiki

-time to review the game by watching lets plays or playing it yourself

-be able to choose the right details and communicate that to the screen recorders and editors. remember my example about chapter one earlier? youd have to lay it out in a similarly comprehensive way.

-take constructive criticism

-must be older than 14 for this. youve gotta make a lot of decisions in this role. ive seen some really creative and talented high schoolers, so thats where im drawing the age line.

-(im hoping for 1-4 of these people, including myself.)

IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN HELPING, SEND ME A DM. IF YOU’RE CHOSEN TO WORK ON THE PROJECT, I’LL SET UP A DISCORD FOR THOSE INVOLVED. IF THIS GETS SOME SORT OF MASS SUPPORT, I’LL SET UP A DISCORD FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN UPDATES.

The purpose of this project is to make it so you can relive the portal 2 plot without having to replay the full game. Other methods do not exist. No one video shows the plot in order with ‘filler’ removed. Voice lines exist in text form, but do not capture the visual aspect of the game, or give context, and are not a full experience. This story is a masterpiece and deserves to be edited so it is comprehensive and all in one place. No one will claim credit for owning portal 2 or writing the story - the video is showing gameplay, and just so happens to be the relevant gameplay. However, screen capture, editing, and direction credits will be given to everyone who participates. This project will allow you to introduce friends and family to the game without sending them a video where only 5 minutes out of the 1 hour video is relevant. I have wanted this project for a while, but I’ve realized that I can’t do it alone. Even if you can’t help directly, please spread the word and reblog.

That you, gnarf, the-headmistress and keyflight790 came up with a way for new creators to be boosted and acknowledged is such an amazingly kind and wonderful thing. You are all taking action to help those get an extra boost and it's so nice to see that.

Hey there @justafangirlslikes thanks for your kind words. I do feel like I need to clarify something from @keyflight790's post (I love you, Chris!), mostly because I feel uncomfortable being given credit for something that I dont feel I really deserve. At one point I was a mod for @the-headmistress blog but I have not been for several months now. Due to a combination of fandom drama, things happening in my personal life, and mental health struggles I deactivated my old fandom accounts and started over. In the process I left my role at the headmistress. While I did play a role for a time, it was small and I was not as involved as I had intended to be when I first signed on. The headmistress is the brainchild of @gnarf and she deserves all the credit, I simply supported her vision for a time.

Personally- and I havent really spoken publically about this before but- part of the reason I needed to step back from Drarry was because of this toxic culture that's resurfaced in the last few days. I'm deeply uncomfortable with the need-for-validation-and-lashing-out-at-others-when-we-dont-get-it culture that comes about every six months or so. It goes hand in hand with people who give support performatively in public spaces but do not act that was in private DMs. Or people who call out personal issues in public instead of handling them in private. The constant attention seeking behaviors are exhausting.

I was never a "popular" writer. I wrote things that I loved and promoted them, but never saw huge hit, kudos, or comment numbers. This was especially true when writing femslash or non-drarry fics. It never bothered me because I created the work I wanted to see. I wrote for myself. Sure the kudos and the occasional comments were nice, I wont lie and say they werent, but they werent the reason I wrote to begin with. I made a lot of friends in Drarry, through the Discord server, through flailing at people in AO3 comments and on Tumblr, and I got to know people by getting involved in the community in different ways, but at no point did I begrudge people for their writing getting more attention than mine. That behavior is extremely ugly and is not beneficial to any one. To see it happening again now only reconfirms the choice I made several months ago.

So I guess all of this is is a long rambling way of saying, fandom is not a transactional space. No one owes you their time or attention. In a fandom as big and as sprawling as Drarry, lots of people are going to be "overlooked" or "ignored" (to use some of the langauge I've seen over the last few days). You need to do the work of finding the audience for your writing. Join fests, learn how to tag properly, support other creators (in the hope that they will reciprocate, but total understanding that there is no obligation for them to do so), create writing based on other creators art, try songs or poetry or crafts or alternative formats for your story. Be original. Do something people havent seen before. Expand the idea of what a fan work can be.

Earn the attention you crave.
