GumyShark · August 26, 2022 19:36:12

do u ever think abt how if not for me cringestar’s journey would literally be lost media?

(for context i have a pdf saved of ishmael’s warrior cats crackfic Cringestar’s Journey and as far as i know it is not saved anywhere else on the internet)

(if anyone wants to read or reread it i could probably figure smth out with ishmael’s permission)

I specifically remember someone on the WoFMB getting into Caltech with a Wings of Fire fanfiction so I would say go for it

don’t enable me like this please-

honestly although i wish the forums had stayed alive im kinda glad they died before the dsmp started. that probably would’ve been a bloodbath lol

GumyShark · August 28, 2022 21:28:33

going back to twitter every so often is like being luke from the Percy Jackson musical fr. “I’ve been here since i was a kid” yeah! “i came back changed but everyone else was exactly the same” YEAH

GumyShark · August 28, 2022 21:31:30

also being on tumblr and taking a conversation from the tags or replies of a post to dms is exactly the same feeling as being at a party with someone and going off with them alone to some private room <- is aroace and has never been to any party where this would even be a possibility

I would need solid roof to fully believe that statement

That someone got in w/fanfiction not that you remember it

It makes me wonder that if it was still around would we be different people? I think so in my experience.

Nonetheless you have a very good point there. But.... maybe it might be entertaining to watch?? Idk how bad it would've gotten

Pardon me for asking, but what's the DSMP??

The Dream SMP, or DSMP for short, is a public live-streamed minecraft roleplay, originally improv, but has now moved to more scripted content. It’s highly popular due to its featuring very well-known content creators, such as Dream and Tommyinnit, but for that same reason is also highly controversial.

I used to have a screenshot of this but I think I might have deleted it ever since, I'll probably look around to see if I still have it. Can confirm that it exists though fhdsklhflkdsjf

But for real: I would definitely mention that you write as an extracurricular on your college apps; as silly as it may sound, it's something you spent your time on, and should share it! It Most college admission officers outright mention that they never actually look at the links that people submit but I would mention it at least?

Time · August 29, 2022 20:38:07

No no no I wouldn't be surprised someone said it, I would be suprised someone got in with it.

But yeah totally I talk about hobbies and stuff while I was doing my collage apps. I hear extracurricular are pretty big when it comes to it. You can't just be doing academic excellence, you have to show who you are outside of school. That's what I heard.

Working on creating an internally-consistent fictional language for an original world i scribbled down the other day before realizing my DM is literally going to kill me if I tell her bc she’s spent weeks and weeks on her lore and im just scribbling it down in Econ class going “what, like it’s hard?”

GumyShark · August 30, 2022 22:37:27

Just wanted to write it down so it’s here, Emmyn (my current character) is on a magical power high fueled by the magical crystals that have been infused into her, and fully separating her from these crystals will return her to the normal human she once was. However I advise not to bc she’s funnier this way

btw update on aria the ggad character: she is currently having a terrible time as a wandering amnesiac catgirl bard in a fantasy world that i made up and exists only in my writing notebook. just thought that was important to share

GumyShark · September 3, 2022 20:09:39

I think everyone should listen to Empires: The Musical by LDShadowlady at least once in their lives. changed me as a person

what if i tied ggad into my oc lore. like my oc lore wouldn’t necessarily be canon to ggad but ggad would be canon to my oc lore. I’m saying this bc emmyn is imported from my oc lore and aria is originally from ggad but is in my oc world rn. plus it would be a fun way to reintroduce aria if ever i went for it
