I love the difference in quality of these two threads
The gist is the same but geez

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 02:33:15

There are some quality moments, but they're also kinda cursed oof

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 02:33:57

R.I.P. it also happened to be the thread with Wiley's first appearance
Whyyy

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 02:45:34

Oh boy

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 03:03:59

The general takeaway I'm getting is that Dion is literally the "Kalm" and "Panik" meme, incarnate

Literally.
He's one to go to extreme reactions

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 17:08:34

Tbh I'd been depending on that with the current thread, but he's actually reacting logically so xD

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 17:09:36

"Blackmail works" ~Hitan 2k19

Yikes

Also I realize Hh was kinda like this
Hitan, on the topic of a love interest: I have many standards.
Helen: (*exists*)
Hitan, quietly: Oh no, she's meeting all my standards

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 17:14:02

I was looking for a thread to reference Galaxian's cosmic energy weapons and couldn't find it on my message wall (:
I'm gonna search another one but in the meantime (*glances at way too many threads opened*)

Some threads were definitely better than others lol. My post quality is not made equal or whatever.

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 17:18:45

"Ohhh, guns," Tensei said, completely unconcerned.

That's what that POV should have been, but I didn't add a dialogue tag. Screw past me.

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 17:19:24

I can't believe I forgot the fat cat

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 17:29:26

I love how rereading these threads is giving me a reminder why I link Galaxian, Hitan, and Rai together
Like Galaxian doesn't even know Rai in this universe and just resorts to hacking.

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 17:33:03

Tfw you're pretty sure past you forgot whether dusting furniture is adding more dust or removing it
And then you realize you still don't know (:

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 17:36:02

I find it funny how OJ and the phoenix listened more to Galaxian than they did to Hitan, because in comparison their behavior with someone like Rai would also have that sort of comparison

Essentially, Rai likes animals but not all animals like him

character development??? .0

Wow my emotions were not stable during that thread
I think I was super annoyed at Dairo or something. Idk.
That thread is definitely up for a rewrite if I ever do thread rewrites

Also it was philosophically wrong so yikes too :')

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 21:34:26

The only thing I got was that depending on the time, I could be pretty good at roleplaying, but only fluff. Plot was always horrible.
And will I improve? Of course not (:

I guess I'll just specialize in dilapidated fluff, incorrect quotes, and random headcanons lol

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 21:38:36

Ahahaha I forgot utterly about the seasons symbol thing for Sunny
I remember reading Sollux's page and thinking it was interesting just a few weeks ago lmiao go me

But tbh if I do make one for him, I'd have to work more on co-planning because currently it just doesn't fit him I think

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 21:41:50

Oh also, by that I mean I need to know where the symbol would be coming from, 'cause if it's from Xenia then Sunny would definitely not have one, but I also don't remember if Kenyon and August had any marks. If they did then obviously this idea would not work
If it's coming from Paymon then I have no idea (:

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 23:41:09

This is definitely off-topic, but hello there 22 guests (:

Don't mind me, I'm just still in this weird state of mind from seeing Galaxian canonically stab Kokumajutsu with 0 care
I definitely forgot about this so :')
The worst thing is that this is definitely accurate and if forced in a certain state of mind, he would still do that kind of thing again

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 23:43:57

I think to me, Galaxian is one of the scariest characters in terms of hypothetical "what if he lacked morals" scenarios, because not only would he probably be able to wreak havoc in general, he'd be able to actually cause the absolute maximum amount of physical suffering to someone while not killing them, which is usually less realistic when it comes to humans (because humans can make mistakes and are susceptible to their emotions during the entire process)

So, yikes :')

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 23:45:10

Also on a bad note, I know I had good intentions while making Lianhuan's debut thread but I'm looking back at it now and it seems extremely dubious. I think I accidentally portrayed Lianhuan as kinda sadistic considering the situation and that is definitely in no-no territory :')

Btw the guy's been around 3 years lol (in terms of his current design and stuff); I can't believe it.

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 26, 2022 23:56:12

I forget if I gave Tensei a defined moral alignment, but if I did and it was anything other than Chaotic Neutral, I definitely did not know what I was doing

I loved his relationship with Krystine lol. In terms of actual romance there was almost none (probably because they were so young), but they were so nice as partners in crime. In fact, I remember distinctly that I wouldn't have minded if the ship did collapse as long as they remained friends, and I think that I still have that mindset.
In terms of my roleplaying him, he was okay in terms of accuracy, but I do wish I could have brought out more unique aspects of him and developed him more.

I hope I still have this ship radar of mine. Currently, it hasn't proven to be wrong in the sole context of the characters themselves, so I hope that if it still exists, I can find some good ships sometime lol. (I'm not gonna look for them intentionally, so yeah.)

I need to make Manai's speech patterns more consistent.
Or maybe I don't?
I have no idea how she uses honorifics.
And you'd think it'd be easier for certain characters, but no. For instance, the nickname "Shu" would technically make no sense with a "-san" added. But sometimes I add it when it just feels like it wouldn't stand alone.
Calling Laurie by just Laurie is sometimes weird too.

Part of this is because most people who know her in-RP would call her Manai rather than Chinami, which implies that she still does adhere to the usual cultural standards when it comes to names.
But at the same time, her personality just doesn't seem like she's someone to be so formal with others??

I do know that she adds an honorific for Chiyoko and doesn't for Rei, but otherwise, she sometimes feels like she'd use an honorific for Laurie, and sometimes she doesn't. It's very weird. (:

I suppose an explanation for how others tend to call her Manai could be that she goes by her "family name," Manai, just because her name feels Japanese. It gives a sense of structure.
But I'm not too sure what route to go on honorifics otherwise.
By the way, I did have established canonically (for myself lol) that she doesn't care if someone she's not too familiar with calls her Chinami, because she's just not a stickler for rules like that.

---

Sorry if this post is unreadable. I'm extremely tired atm. Probably should sleep, but I have some unfinished stuff.
I was actually gonna make another post as well, but I forgot what it was. (And I'm so tired that I'm not even bothered by it, so you can probably tell how much I should go to bed, lol.)
I hope it comes back. I wasn't able to write down anything for the entire day, so it's kinda just been an entire chain of forgetting.

Imagining the future where Dion invites the rest of the Not-Quad Squad to his house for the holidays and Wiley brings a bunch of cookies
The twist, of course, being that he adds fondant on top where the flavors and colors absolutely do not match.
You bite into a cookie with green on top and it hecking tastes like chocolate or red velvet

The trick is to eat and not look, but then again I think everyone's a lil paranoid with Wiley around (exempting Raez, but sometimes that guy just does not have enough paranoia) so (:

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 29, 2022 18:21:37

Wiley also gives the vibes of someone who'd make fortune cookies for fun, but inside each one is the same note: "We all know fate is contrived anyways, what were you expecting lol"

GalaxianExplosion · July 29, 2022 20:12:43

I like to think that both Xuqiao and Lianhuan know a bit about how to play the zither from listening to Rensa from afar and eventually trying it themselves.
They were able to recreate that zither and build one by themselves without guidance. Should've been crafts counselors in some summer camp or something.

----

Tbh now I'm imagining Rensa being in F/GO and playing out a bunch of NP themes on various instruments.
I'm not entirely sure it would work for most of the themes, though. I dunno. Haven't focused enough on the instrument variety, lol.
I have listened enough to Osakabehime's NP theme to know it'd work for her, though.
He plays it as an alarm for her to get out of her room lol

-Galaxian-

GalaxianExplosion · July 29, 2022 20:16:40

Tbh with how talented he is at instruments generally speaking, I'm now just wheezing at the idea of him playing the drums
He's just this guy with a complete poker face banging the drums and cymbals and stuff at a very fast tempo
Heck, I think even Xuqiao would be shocked. xD
Everyone in the vicinity is just there in a stupor while Rensa finishes, cleans up, and leaves
