Ask the above poster a question

Do you have a headcanon voice for Power Stroke, or would it be your own voice?

Either Feathers McGraw, for being a hilarious and well-executed example of Killer Rabbit, or King Dedede, for being Crazy Awesome.

Do you have a favorite penguin character? (as in, an actual penguin :P)

Not sure if it's obscure enough to count, but the first one that comes to mind is Mischief Makers, a really good N64 platformer made by Treasure. There's also Space Station Silicon Valley, a really weird platformer that we rented a couple of times when I was a kid.

Edited by Bluethorn on Aug 5th 2018 at 3:37:09 PM

I appreciate the concern, but I'm okay. I wasn't really thinking about that myself.

Very specific question! What's your favorite like, C-grade platformer. Like not quite Rayman, like stuff like Ty and Blinx.

I haven't seen it, but supposedly Hunter x Hunter is a great deconstruction of Modern Shonen.

There's also this really funny deconstruction that I like. You may know about it, it's called One-Punch Man?

OPM is definitely my favorite deconstruction tho

Edited by Beverly on Aug 5th 2018 at 2:00:37 PM

You criticized Madoka Magica for claiming to be a deconstruction, only for it deconstruct itself. What do you think there are examples of good deconstruction works?

I quite like Gorillaz, thought I wasn’t blown away by their most recent two albums, more recent Ninja Sex Party songs, Queen is almost always great, and for a fourth... [1].

Darn. I replied to 9001's question before I saw Bev's post. :V

Aside from the Beatles and Talking Heads, what are some other bands you like/would recommend?

I basically agree with you. Penguins if they count, or ducks if they don't.

Though pelicans are cool as well.

Edited by TropesForever on Aug 5th 2018 at 10:43:02 PM

What's your favorite waterfowl?

I forgot pelicans. I agree that they're cool too. XD

Hey, I like that idea! I could get the best of both worlds. Tropes wouldn't have to worry about me being scary, because I would treat him and my other allies with the utmost care and respect, only turning on the people who really make me mad. >XD

Did you notice I finally remembered to answer your question? :V

EDIT: Goddamn you, fate! I thought I copied that link. It should work this time. :V

Funnily enough, I am. Sorta. I'm watching the Twitch stream, but I'm only really interested in the big Street Fighter V reveal that's taking place after the Top 8 finals.

Are you keeping up with this year's EVO Championship?

It's pretty hard to pick one because they're all bloody precious! If I had to pick one, it's probably either AE-3803 or AA-2153. Friggin adorable dorks.

Favorite Cells at Work! character?

Silverstream here just won my heart in the latest episode!

Best non-pony? (Or at least, non-standard pony?)

Yep! I initially drew it on paper, then I scanned it and made a vector of it using Adobe Illustrator.

Edited by AgentKirin on Aug 7th 2018 at 11:59:25 AM

Did you draw that picture yourself?

I read a bit. I write some too! But the strangest one...I actually don't know. I tend to just stop reading it if I think it's too dumb.

Edited by Murataku on Aug 6th 2018 at 6:07:08 PM

Do you read much fanfiction? If so, what's the strangest one you've ever read?

Probably an Alolan Exeggutor. There hasn't been one in WHABP to my knowledge yet (unless I'm forgetting a random throwaway character). And a Horsea/Seadra/Kingdra as well.

Edited by kablammin45 on Aug 6th 2018 at 10:33:31 AM

What pokemon have you not made into an OC, but you want to, now or in the future?

I enjoy SNK shilling their IP in general, but I own Tekken 7 and DOA 5 Core Fighters, and while I can't play Mai, I main Geese in Tekken. It's a neat way for them to drum up hype again, since they've fallen to the wayside a tad after the early 2000's.

Edited by DefRevenge24601 on Aug 6th 2018 at 12:14:36 PM

What do you think of Geese's appearance in Tekken, and Mai's appearance in Dead or Alive 5?

Synthwave, specifically darksynth. I blame Hotline Miami for introducing me to the genre.

Edited by ArmoredFury on Aug 6th 2018 at 6:33:08 PM

What's your favorite specific, niche music genre?

This is Pepita, Imelda's alebrije (spirit guardian) from Coco.

Edited by DrNoPuma on Aug 6th 2018 at 5:22:03 AM

That avatar is cool. Where is it from?

Probably Ludwig.

Edited by Bluethorn on Aug 6th 2018 at 3:27:01 PM

Who would you call your least favorite among the Koopalings?

There was this one really macabre nightmare that I had once that involved rancid dungeons filled with sewage and dead pigs and my mom dying. I was very disturbed and unhappy when I woke up afterward.

Edited by kablammin45 on Aug 6th 2018 at 10:33:23 AM

Have you ever had a dream that was so dark and disturbing, you wondered how your brain came up with it?

I don't know if I'm ready to say too much on here (mainly because I don't have much about the story planned out yet ), but I'll tell you about the character.

So, this character is actually the Big Bad (or Greater-Scope Villain) of the story. He's some giant Animalistic Abomination (I haven't fully decided on his design yet) who was created by a mad scientist. But he turns out to be a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds who is only plotting to destroy the world simply because he hates his own existence.

I was just trying to think of a fittingly deep and growly voice for the character when I thought of those Muppet voices. Since this character is much more sympathetic than most vlilains, I thought it would be kinda fitting in a way to give him a soft, Jim Henson-esque voice. I thought it would help make him Ugly Cute. I'd also like the work to have musical numbers if possible, so a voice like that would be great if he gets a Villainous Lament.

...the rest of the story is more lighthearted, though. Probably not what you were expecting, huh?

Edited by DrNoPuma on Aug 6th 2018 at 10:25:03 AM

I've had a couple of those recently, actually. Sucks if you've got them now. :(

What's the story you're working on with the character who has Jim Henson's voice? If you wanna keep it a secret, that's okay.

Okay, so: after the Beatles broke up, they put out a compilation album called 1967-1970, featuring their songs from that era. Because of that unwieldy name, it was nicknamed "The Blue Album", in reference to The White Album and the blue border around its cover photo. Said cover photo◊ is a Call-Back to the cover of◊ their first album, Please Please Me. They were taken at the same location, and framed the same way, but the Beatles are nearly a decade older.

About a year ago, I created a meta-avatar◊ out of these three posts from Anti-Necromancy. Recently, I decided to go back a take a new picture of those three posts exactly one year after the last one. I came up with the title as a reference to the Beatle's album because it's a similar concept.

Whew. Like I said, it's very obscure.

Edited by TropesForever on Aug 7th 2018 at 12:17:11 AM

What is the joke in your title? :P

Mostly the Koopalings. Junior is cool too, but I find his design less interesting since he's basically identical to Bowser's younger self from the Yoshi's Island series.

Edited by Bluethorn on Aug 7th 2018 at 1:04:27 PM

Which do you prefer: (any/all of) the Koopalings, or Bowser Jr.?

Good one. It's always gonna be Donnie. Though I like the new show's version of Leo a bunch as well.

Favorite Ninja Turtle?

"50 - In the world of the last live-action sitcom you watched" in Spend the Day as YOUR Avatar, because I rarely if ever watch sitcoms. :V

Edited by TroperNo9001 on Aug 7th 2018 at 10:06:11 PM

Not counting the infamous 40, what number do you find to usually be the worst one to get in the "How Will You..." avatar forum games?

It's kind of hard for me to say since some of them have different scenario lists from each other. I do find 49 in "...as YOUR avatar" interesting since it makes you wonder how willing you would be to remain as your avatar (especially if it's a character you wouldn't mind being). 07 on both it and "...as the above avatar" as well since it's fun to imagine how my folks would react to me suddenly being someone else for a day.

Edited by kablammin45 on Aug 7th 2018 at 3:20:49 PM

What's the best one to get in the avatar forum games?

I mean, i want Waluigi in the game as much as the next guy- But the game looks good as it is. Also, Belmont and K Rool are two characters who also highly requested showing up makes me think he's gonna be joining the battle soon.

Edited by Hydraloonie on Aug 9th 2018 at 7:18:21 AM

What are your thoughts on the massive backlash against Waluigi being an assist trophy again in SSB Ultimate?

Of those videos, I really liked this one. Since I know so much about animation, I think I have learned to appreciate the work that goes into making it. I thought it was nice how that guy had high hopes for the new Thundercats cartoon. Like it or not, there are still people working as hard as they can to make it a good product.

As for lessons that aren't covered in those videos (I think)... one of the most important to me is that Rousseau Was Right. Nobody is inherently bad, and I think I learned that best from cartoons and animated movies. For example, Gideon Grey from Zootopia initially seems like a shallow, typical Barbaric Bully, but later on, he becomes a genuinely good guy, and we learn that his bullying was do to some deep insecurities he had as a child. That just really stuck with me, since I used to get bullied too.
