Our avatars are posting on a forum thread.

Go To

This is a thread where, as the title implies, our avatars (from our galleries) are posting in an in-universe forum thread. You can drop in any time with pretty much any character you want, whether from existing works or your own OCs. Though most of it is done through forum posts, some "in-person" interactions between characters is also fine.

Even if this is a more casual RP, there are still some rules and general RP etiquette to keep in mind for everyone to have a good time and feel comfortable:

  • NO GODMODDING. Godmodding is when you decide what happens to another player's character, and is generally frowned upon. In particular, avoid injuring and especially killing someone else's character; fighting is ok but let the other player decide if the hit connects. If your plot idea requires something to happen to a different player's character, you'll want to privately discuss this with them and if they're ok with that. This includes in-universe moderation.
  • Be nice and respect other players' boundaries. Your character being mean or a jerk is one thing, but if someone gets uncomfortable about your behavior towards their characters, knock it off. Also do not force others into your story arcs; in general it would be a good idea to ask the other person first if they are interested, and plan it together if they are.
  • If you have anything to say, ask about, ect. that is not part of the RP, you can put it under a spoiler tag [[spoiler: like this]]
  • While almost any character is welcome, please avoid playing any real-life person who's mainly associated with controversies, drama and problematic behavior. We don't need that here.
  • Have fun!

    Original post 

Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.

And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.

In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

   I- erm, sorry about that. Ugh, that was embarrassing. Anyway, you want me to... give you pointers on stage fright? Wait, when did you join- argh, forget it-   

   Ugh, I'm, like, not the best at giving advice, but, um whenever my nerves get the best of me, I try to, like, clear my head. Focus on my excitement for the concert and remembering what I have rehearsed for it instead of focusing on the stress of possibly fucking something up.   

   That, and I... okay, this is going to sound sappy as fuck, but I... tend to think about my friends. Like Lanzhu, Shioriko, Yu, Rina... imagining that they're all right there beside me, cheering me on really helps soothe my nerves when I'm freaking out.   

   Do you think having that in mind will help you and stuff?

#241332: Nov 2nd 2025 at 3:51:21 PM

This is probably the biggest Wham Episode I’ve ever done.

    The Broken Friend, the Fractured Identity and the Toughest Choice 

Eh? Come in?

The door swings open. It’s Clownfish.

E-Elijah. I just came here to say that I’ve really enjoyed your company these past few months. I’d also like to say that…

You taking me in was the first act of kindness I ever recieved in my life. From the moment I gripped you tight and that lady had to pull us apart, I knew our friendship would be really special. I-I don’t know how to put this truly, but…

I-I LOVE YOU! I TRULY DO!

Elijah is stunned by these words, but unlike with Vi, he couldn’t find himself to even reciprocate these feelings, truly. There was a burning feeling in his gut that could, but he decided not to act on impluse, as Emma suggested.

Clownfish… I-

Emma cleared her throat, pensive.

Um… can I confess something too?

From the day you joined our school, I had my eyes on you. You’re dorky, clumsy, and weird… not to mention rude, but well meaning. But behind all that, I could see a kind, overwhelmed… lonely soul. Someone who needed love and care.

And then, you became my roomate! I could get to know you better as a person. Oh, this was the best day of my life!

Over the months, we evacuated the school, narrowly escaping a rabid animal and getting Hanpen back from this mysterious creature, drove on a nerve-wracking interdimensional snack run for Larimar’s best concert yet (thanks for the Mini Cheddars!) and went on countless other escapades in our free time!

Heck, one of my first acts of kindness towards you was on the very week I joined that thread!

So—and I apologise for the grief I might give you; choices are hard after all—I would also like to say that I love you. Very much. From the bottom of my heart.

…a Love Triangle? Seriously?


The toughest choice lies before Elijah.

Does he choose Clownfish, making the decision that he is bisexual and coming out to the forum officially, helping to rebuild his friendship with Roe… but having to turn down someone who is much closer to him and has much stronger feelings for him, fracturing their friendship, and potentially live with the much stronger burning feeling of regret if he finally digs deep within himself and discovers he isn’t bisexual at all?


Or does he choose Emma, choosing to be with someone who loves him BEYOND an act of kindness, and genuinely cares about—not just being a friend to him—but helping him to heal and grow more confident… but running the risk of making Clownfish think that his kindness was a setup to take advantage of their vulnerable state, potentially flinging them back in to the state they were before Elijah helped them?


What’s it gonna be, Elijah?


TO BE CONCLUDED

And with that, I must sleep. You will know the answer to this status-quo altering arc in the morning. Goodnight, everybody!

   ...Clear your mind..   

(david walks onstage, in deep thought.)

(...not even an intro. he just waved a little at the audience and plucked the microphone from the stand.)

    let me play you a song on the 

   ...Okay. Clear your mind. Think of your friends. Here we go.   

The Worlds Smallest Violin
Covered by David Martinez, original song by AJR

   My grandpa fought in World War II   
   He was such a noble dude   
   Meanwhile I could'nt finish school   
   Missed my mom and left too soon   
   His dad was a fireman, fought fires so violent   
   I think I bored my therapist   
   While playing him my violin   
(OH MY GOD!)    That's so insane,    (OH MY GOD!)    Thats such a shame   
   Next to them, my shit don't feel so gra~nd   
   But I can't help myself from feelin' bad   
   I kinda feel like two things can be sad...   

(david begins stomping his feet to the tune.)
   The World's Smallest Violin really needs an audience, so if I do not find somebody soon...   
   I'll blow up into smithereens, and spew my tiny symphony   
   Just lemme play my violin for you!   

(and during the break, he begun remembering some things from his past...)

(   I'm gonna take you there myself. Fly you to the moon! That's a promise!   )

(   Afraid of getting caught? I know I sure as shit ain't.   )

(   Honestly...nothing else ever really mattered.   )

(   Sorry. Wish we could go to the moon together.   )


   My grandpa fought in World War II   
   He was such a noble dude...   
   Man, I feel like such a fool, I got so much left to prove...   
   All my friends have vaping friends   
   They're so good at making friends   
   I'm just too scared of caving in   
   Is that entertaining yet?   

(OH MY GOD!)    That's so insane,    (OH MY GOD!)    Thats such a shame   
   Next to them, my shit don't feel so gra~nd   
   But I can't help myself from feelin' bad   
   I kinda feel like two things can be sad...   

   The World's Smallest Violin really needs an audience, so if I do not find somebody soon...   
   I'll blow up into smithereens, and spew my tiny symphony   
   Just lemme play my violin for you!   



(more thoughts at the break. how he felt he failed her, how he wished he was at the moon with her...before one thought crossed his mind.)

(   You got this. It's time to cut loose. No holding back.   )

(   It's just you and the road - no doubters to slow you down now.   )



   Somewhere in the universe, somewhere, someones' got it worse   
   Wish that made it easier. Wish I didn't feel the hurt   
   The World's Smallest Violin, really needs an audience,   
   So if I do not find somebody soon...   

(   So show them who you are.   )

(   What you're made of.   )

(   You're special, remember?   )


(david gripped the microphone with more confidence as he slowly brang it up to his face.)

(in his mind, the gym was warping into [[Rule of Symbolism the star-embelished reaches of space, on the comfort of the moons surface.)

(slowly, he begun stepping to the beat as he sang...)

   I'll blow up into smithereens   
   And spew my tiny symphony   
   All up and down the city street   
   I'm tryna put my mind at ease   
   Like with finishing this melody    (the sandevistan begins whirring.)
   This feels like a necessity   
   So this could be the death of me   
   OR MAYBE JUST A BETTER ME   
   NOW COME IN WITH THE TIMPANIS   
   AND TAKE A SHOT OF HENNESSY   
   I KNOW IM NOT THERE MENTALLY   
   BUT YOU CAN BE THE REMEDY   

   SO LET   
   ME   
   PLAY   
   MY   
   VIOLIN   
   FOR       YOU!   

(Mic Drop !)

[1] (OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, Pass the Popcorn!)

(Anyway, for my two cents on the answer... call this a copout answer, but I'm fairly conflicted. On one hand, Clownfish and Elijah have had more Ship Tease and set-up then Emma and Elijah, but on the other hand, Elijah has also expressed discomfort with Clownfish's clinginess. (...plus Emmalijah happening would probably result in Emma becoming more prominent, and she's very much an Ensemble Dark Horse among Elijah's characters in my view.))

    looks like we're not done with the cerebus syndrome just yet! 
Elsewhere, Medic is on his way to go to David's concert when a group of ne'er-do-wells corner him in an alley. One of them pulls a knife??

   C’mon, funny man, empty yer pockets. Whatever weird shit ya got in there.   

Medic rolls his eyes.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toon_medic_icon.png

You are interrupting my trip to a very important concert. Now, I suggest you go on your way, and let me do my business...

The gaggle of thugs just laugh. The knife one tries to stab Medic, who dodges by dragging his torso up and making his legs really long. Taking out a banana peel, he tosses it in the way of another couple of troublemakers trying to run at him, who slip and land in a pile of trash way at the back at the same time. The knife guy recovers from his shock, but before he can try to attack Medic again, he sees there's a lit stick of dynamite in his hand, which detonates non-lethally and leaves the dude with an Ash Face and a very sore hand. He growls and begins to attack Medic with his fists, but the ex-doctor swings him around and throws him in the trash with his lackeys.

Dusting his hands off, Medic goes to leave, but a can hits him in the back of the head, causing him to turn around. One of the ne'er-do-wells has peeked out of the trash pile, and is holding what looks like a canister of paint thinner with a crude tape label over the logo.

   Hey, funny man! Ever heard of a movie called Roger Rabbit?   

   (The hell are you doing, ya dork?!)   

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toon_medic_icon.png

No, but I have heard of it... Vhy do you a-

The man throws the canister at Medic. He sees what's written on the label at the last second...

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/its_da_dip.png

...before half of his face explodes into pain.

Click on this to see what just happened (WARNING: FACIAL HORROR)

After a good couple of seconds, Medic lets out a scream so un-toony, so unrealistic, that it gives the thugs pause. And then they skedaddle out of there like the pussies they are. Thankfully, he's far enough away from the school that they can't hear him... which is also unlucky, since he very urgently needs medical attention.

To be continued, i think (maybe not in a folder but still)
