Yes, it was. I was trying to base it off of Octopimp's voice for Eridan, but without the verbal tics.

They're not really unfunny, either, though.

Using them as the occasional interjection is fine, honestly, I personally disagree with the recommendation not to.

I will admit that gog is awful, and had I given some time after the finale to collect my thoughts, I wouldn't have used it. Jegus, on the other hand, is awesome as an occasional interjection.

My May writing month continues.

This week I'm sharing a short story called Careless Prognostication that's about destiny and similar nonsense.

[up]I liked the story, although I'm a little confused. So was Reina the one to really defeat the Demon Prince? What was special about her husband's sword? Was it meant by saying "my husband was the pure hearted one" that he was indirectly responsible because the fatal blow used a weapon once belonging to him? And did she just leave Arthur behind at the end while she was traveling to the oracles' fortress?

@Adric: Great job for all of the voices, except Vriska though.tongue My favorite is Tavros, you captured his constantly shy and anxious tone and withdrawn personality really well. Equius's voice was somewhat softer than I expected, but that wasn't a bad thing. Karkat is cool but all the high intensity yelling nearly broke my headphones while I was listening to it.[lol] And I agree that Eridan's snobbish accent is quite fitting for his character.

My Vriska voice was intentionally terrible.

My Equius voice was me doing a softer version of my impression of Vegeta (which, if y'all want me to, I could record). I was kinda taking from Octopimp's voice for Equius so I made it soft to kinda match.

Yeah, I would be interested in listening to that. Just a question- do you practice doing this as a hobby or just occasionally record stuff when you feel like it?

I just have a knack for voices. I goof around with my brother a lot by doing impressions of stuff we watch, and I sometimes practice them in the shower when I'm bored. I like doing voices in front of my friends as a joke too.

I'll agree that you're pretty good at it! If I had to tell you the truth, I'm actually kind of jealous of how easily you manage to pull off the different voices- ok, that sounded weird, but I'm being honest here.

It's alright. I've been practicing a bunch since I was a kid anyways. I used to just watch cartoons and do impressions of the characters when something funny happened.

Thanks for reading!

Yes. It was an amazing off-screen fight.

It wasn't enchanted or anything. It was just a weapon that she could use for murder purposes. It was also a bit intentionally misleading since a son growing up to avenge with his father's sword is a very mythic kind of thing.

The 'pure hearted' thing is Reina telling the oracles they were wrong. The prophecy said the savior would be a child born from a warrior and a pure-hearted maiden but the way she sees it, her husband was the pure-hearted one despite being a soldier.

She left Arthur with the distant relatives she fled to at the beginning. Murdering a Demon Prince is no place for a young child. Presumably the oracle's mountain was on the way of her return home.

Ah, that explains a lot. Thanks.smile It was interesting take on the idea of an "ultimate prophecy", although I felt (maybe this was just me) that it was slightly, and I'm guessing intentionally, vague about some details.

I recorded part of Homosuck as Caliborn. I was trying to record some bits of Dave and Dirk's chat (still not proud of my Dirk voice), but I kept slipping up on the lines, so then I tried redoing Dave and John responding to Karkat's memo. I had it so good and then I found out that vocaroo fucked up and didn't record some of it, so I decided to try out Caliborn. I fucked it up, then just recorded this little section of Homosuck because my throat is killing me.

Damn, I have this story idea, but as often, only a beginning and an ending, with nothing to fill up the middle. Something that could be sci-fi, fantasy or even Science Fantasy, as it could easily be transcribed into either setting.

It starts with the mentor warning the hero that the world is in peril: An Apocalypse Cult is preparing a ritual to destroy the world by waking up an Eldritch Abomination known only as "The Sleeper" (May He Slumber For All Eternity), which would then rain destruction all over the world. The hero, mentor and assorted adventuring party promptly goes on a quest to locate and stop them.

While looking for clues, they encounter a second threat: some kind of Hate Plague / The Corruption which is engulfing a wide area. The party is forced to divert more and more resources against it, eventually going all-in and beating it back (scorching the outbreak, sealing the great evil, etc.)

As the hero laments that they wasted too much time and now they'll never find the cult before their apocalyptic ritual, the mentor pulls out a cell phone / palantir / magic mirror etc. and simply calls the cult, telling them to stop abort the awakening and confirming with a passphrase. Now the world is saved. The Smart Guy quickly puts two and two together about the cult's true purpose, and the mentor explains it to the others.

Finally, the mentor takes the hero aside to let them in on one last secret: "The Sleeper" (May He Slumber For All Eternity), while quite obviously not the creature's true name (which not even the cult knows), is not even its true epithet: In private, the cult actually calls it The Dreamer. The last dialogue line is the hero, having understood the implication, echoing the catchphrase "May He Slumber For All Eternity" as the mentor silently nods.

At which point, Bocaj will answer my post telling me that A. Lee Martinez already wrote that. tongue
