@Renegade the Unicorn That's so awesome! I've always wanted to learn how to play bass.
-
@applesjck Granted, the only chord progressions I know are the blues and 50s progressions...
-
@Renegade the Unicorn That’s better than nothing!

I actually had a dream I was in my very own Star Trek episode last night. It was about me and the Enterprise crew trying to find the cure to my broken/loose tooth.

@SpittyPie2005 Hey, you might. And that's perfectly OK in my book.

I'm honestly not liking one of my (non-forum) friends at the moment for trying to impose dark and edgy "suggestions" into my superhero universe.
The guy called me a wimp for shooting down his suggestion on how vampires should be portrayed (i.e. as completely inhuman abominations in appearance rather than my idea that they vary in appearance - "common" vampires are just immortal bloodsucking humans, essentially).

What REALLY angers me, though, is how he tried turning one of my main heroes, Ishtar, not only into a cruel, manipulative b!tch because "that's how she was in Mesopotamian mythology" (and oh-so conveniently forgetting at least to some degree she was a fun goddess; I mean when you're the goddess of sex and booze, every day's a party) whose "real" purpose was to function as a Darkseid ripoff and plot device that doesn't end up having a point because she ends up going to alter the past in the end.

Exactly. Hence why I haven't shown him the bio I wrote for Ishtar yet - it's so far removed from "his" portrayal he'd have a total sh!tcow over it.
Tell me, does this sound anything at all like a cruel, manipulative Darkseid expy?
SpoilerName: Ishtar
Civilian Name: Marlene Babylon
Species: Human
Age: 27
Powers and Abilities: Whenever she channels Ishtar's power, Marlene is able to gain the powers of flight, superhuman strength, speed, and agility, and heightened resistance to injury. She is also able to master any and all weapons, but primarily relies on the sword and archery. Ishtar is also, befitting her spheres of influence, able to strategize and seduce like no other. If any trope could describe her in any way, it would be that of the Xanatos Gambit - she has plans inside of plans inside of plans, and all guarantee that she is victorious in one way or another.
Weaknesses: Ishtar's primary weakness lies in her self-control. Given she inhabits Marlene's body whenever the former calls onto her, Ishtar is primarily fueled by the traits and emotions that Marlene represses (such as her lust, appetites for decadent foods and beverages, etc.); the stronger said emotion is, the closer Ishtar is able to fully manifest herself, not only at the risk of destroying Marlene, but the world potentially ending. Ishtar, above all else, wants power and dominion over all, so Marlene has to keep her emotions and stress levels under control in order to keep Ishtar in line.
Personality: In order to understand who Ishtar is personality-wise, we need to look at both Marlene and Ishtar themselves as both separate individuals and two halves of the same person. Marlene is, in her own words, a boring individual. She is no-nonsense, work-oriented, and has a generally "plain" demeanor. She is also rather anti-social and introverted, keeping to herself most of the time. When not working, Marlene often spends her time reading and with her cats.
Ishtar is a completely different story, however. Ishtar is everything that Marlene isn't. She's outgoing, boisterous, and gung-ho, going into whatever she does with a warrior's enthusiasm. She drinks to excess (and holds her liquor very well), has all sorts of liaisons with men and women alike, and loves to fight more than anything else. Beneath the surface of a seemingly-ditzy and impulsive brunette, however, is a calculating, manipulative, clingy and power-hungry goddess who is biding her time until she can be at her fullest extent of power and rule the world with her fellow gods and goddesses once more. In spite of her flaws, though, Ishtar does care about humanity on some level; in her eyes, humanity had a symbiotic relationship with the gods - they were created to serve and worship them, and in turn the gods provided for them. Mankind, according to her, has failed at taking care of itself (she isn't wrong - the five-way Cold War between the world's superpowers leaves a precarious situation that could very well spell the end) and now, more than ever, it needs protecting.
Both Marlene and Ishtar are really two sides of the same whole: the person Marlene presents herself as, and the person she'd really like to be deep down. However, both need one another to survive. Marlene needs Ishtar to be a hero when the need arises, and Ishtar needs Marlene to keep her in check..
Appearance: Marlene is a brown-haired woman in her late 20s of German-American descent. She wears business casual clothing, keeps her hair in a ponytail, and generally wears lipstick and thick-rimmed glasses. She is neither particularly fit not overweight; not buxom but not flat-chested either. She is just a plain, boring archaeologist working in an equally plain and boring office. When in the form of Ishtar, however, Marlene undergoes a complete overhaul in appearance. She has the body and bosom of a Teutonic goddess, her eyes a vibrant green and hair long and raven-black. Angelic wings now sprout out of her back, and she wears a white skirt and top that show off her legs and midriff. Atop her head she wears a traditionally Sumerian war helmet, from which her hair spills out to her mid-back. Around her waist she wears a golden belt where she keeps her arrows; she keeps her sword and bow sheathed in between her massive wings.

Inspired by @Emerald Heart's recent fanfic endeavors, I'm digging up an old idea of mine: Kamen Rider Moon, a Sailor Moon AU where Usagi becomes a Kamen Rider instead of a Sailor Guardian. It's very Showa -early Heisei inspired.

@Samurai Equine Keeping it. And in a few new twists...
SpoilerThe same forced awakening was performed on Mamoru beforehand, but unlike Usagi, who came out relatively fine, the onslaught of memories (including his death by Beryl) made him...well, not mentally well. So Tuxedo Mask (here known as Fantóme) is less "dashing gentleman thief" and more "V for Vendetta mixed with the Phantom of the Opera" ).
-The order in which the Guardians awaken is changed up. Neither Moon nor Venus are awakened first. It's Mercury.
-Speaking of, here, Usagi and Minako are sisters. Twins, in fact.
-Also, Usagi/Rei is the main ship here.
-Beryl's current incarnation is actually Naru's mother.

I think it's because you win the user/staff duet votes.
-
I just hope I don't mess up.
I really would love to sing This Day Aria so that I could be Chrysalis...
but the voting is really up to y'all so whatever.

Tmw your asshole hipster "friend" considers Looney Tunes, Ren and Stimpy, and SU as a "dark age of animation" because they aren't his definition of "intelligent and artsy".
I shouldn't care about this, but I do.

@Tacodidra This guy calls himself an animation fan.
@Samurai Equine I'm also the fun kind of hipster.

I think you'd like Urusei Yatsura - it was created by the same woman who did Inuyasha.
-
I need to finish watching Inuyasha...
I was really far into it last year but then I took a break and now I forgot where the heck I was. So now I have to watch the whole thing over again until I find where I was...

So, uhhh...you like music?

I've got it all sorted though.
Just need to get through these next couple of months or so. It's coming up to the first year anniverasry since my mum died. Yesterday marked the one year point that she gave me a list a chores to do with the final one on the list being to call her an ambulance. So a lot of stuff around this time and since then has been bugging me lately. A half sibling that doesn't seem to give a crap and leaves me to do everything. Solictors that are dragging their heels. Always something to be battling.
I'm reeeeally looking forward to some peace after I've gotten these final obstacles smashed.

If I were to ever form a band with members from here, it's be me on vocals/keyboards, @Randimaxis on...I dunno, drums, @Emerald Heart on either bass or lead guitar, and (contradicting what I just said) my girlfriend on rhythm guitar.

God, my butt is sweaty.
It's not only gross, but uncomfortable.

Tempted to name Infinite's (my Superman-esque character) Lois Lane analogue after either @Emerald Heartor @The Wife of Rengoku), and I'm already gonna name his Jimmy Olsen analogue after @HawkbitAlpha.

Guessing "Venny" is an analouge for "Emmy?"
-
@Emerald HeartI was referring to @The Wife of Rengoku(aka Venomous).
-
Ah! Okay, that makes more sense.

Nobody:
Absolutely fucking nobody:
Seriously, no one cares:

After my falling out with my "buddy" PrezSquid and getting blocked by a horsefic author I was acquainted with for no adequate reason (seriously, I at least want an explanation so I can make up for whatever I did wrong
), I once again look towards Our Lady of Discord for enlightenment to my problems.
Either that or five tons of flax.

this feels like the ending to a 90s prom movie where the quirky dork ends up with the Tomboy after he confronted the jock and turned down the cheerleader
It totally does!

Hmm...
I'd say Jason. Just because you are so kind and caring, and know your friends really well.

You kinda remind me of Eleanor.
