[OOC] Somethings Can't Be Forgotten

[Love Dove]

Haha what do you do if someone actually starts talking sports with you?

[mamagermany]

That seldom happens, but when it does

[Love Dove]

Haha that's just great. I do that about a Lot of things honestly.

[mamagermany]

Like when people ask me about my OCs. I want people to ask all the time but once they do I have no idea where to begin.

[Love Dove]

Really? Usually when people get me talking about my characters I won't shut up.

[mamagermany]

Oh, once I get started, I can't stop, but finding a starting part is for some reason real difficult for me. I don't know where to start for that.

[Love Dove]

Haha my one friend is writing on a book and reads prts of my stories. I'll just start talking about it out of the blue, and we will sit here for hours taking turns talking about our stories.

[mamagermany]

I wish I had someone quite like that. I don't have a single person to consistently go to. I did have one person for a little while, but it's not very consistent anymore, sadly.

I have a bunch of Shakespeare film adaptions to watch for class and they're both delightful 90s relics in all their melodrama, tropes, and cheese. It's a good time.

[Love Dove]

Awe well that's really sad actually :{



That sounds....very....interesting. I don't think that I could do your major, I mean I would find that really boring myself. No offence of course. What Shakespeare film adaptions did you have to watch.

[mamagermany]

Oh man, if you ever must watch one Shakespeare film adaption, make it 1996's Romeo + Juliet, directed by Baz Lehrmann, starring Leonardo DiCaprio. It's gratuitously over the top, melodramatic, vibrant and energetic, entertaining as all hell, I am falling in love with it.

I do make an honest plea of anyone I've talked to in the last 24 hours, to watch the first 10 minutes of that adaption, and try not to be rocked to the core.

The other was 10 things I hate about you, and while that was a pile of 90s cheese, it's very dated, doesn't hold up as well, not quite as entertaining as the incredibleness of Romeo + Juliet.

This is going to be the most entertaining part, I have an entire class this semester simply called, 'Shakespearian Tragedy'. I have to read Titus Andronicus right now, which, based on the summary I read, is so fucked up, jesus christ is it fucked up.

Gotta love theater based majors.
(Actually, I do, because, well, I'm doing it.)

[mamagermany]

I keep reminding myself that I need to work on Bela's bio, and rework Nadya's. I keep having vague ideas for them both, but no idea how to dictate them.

Edit: welp, finally updated Nadya's bio. Now it's like how I wanted it.

[Love Dove]

I've watched like twenty minutes til the end of that Romeo + Juliet but I will tired and being forced to watch it when I was sick. So I didn't really enjoy the little bit of it that I paid attention to. Though I actually love 10 things I hate about you it's one those movies I rewatch a lot. I've never even of that book, though honestly I've never even read Romeo + Juliet.

*sigh* I need to work on so many of my peoples bio's. I've been slacking really badly lately. I guess I have to find a new picture of Simone because it's gone now for some reason.

[Love Dove]

Also just saw what you said about Nayda's background. Sorry I missed that. But I like the reworking :}

[mamagermany]

I definitely know it's not for everyone. Lehrmann has a very distinct and over the top style that can be really offputting. And, of course, considering it's in the original prose, if you're not paying attention to it, you probably don't know exactly what they're saying. 10 Things I Hate About You was kind of fun, it's not the worst movie to watch for a class, but it's too datedly 90s for me to really want to go back to it for fun.

Goodness, look at how pretentious and intellectual and artsy I can get if I'm allowed to. This is definitely what studying theater for six years gets you.

Yeah I noticed Simone's picture was gone, I wasn't sure if that was just on my end or not.

Thank you. It feels so much better to me now, it makes more sense and I think it makes her motivation much more solid.

I'm starting to figure out specifics, like this great cute detail of Jonathan and Eleanora's courtship, their roles in blending into at least the fringes of society, and while I still don't know much about Bela, I finally know one thing, and I think it could prove telling. I did start adding their place in the clan to their bios, along with a few new details here and there, like in Jonathan's.

[Love Dove]

Yeah maybe if I rewatched again it would be a little bit better. I just find the mindset of both of them is just stupid. I kind of like 90s movies though, but I'm a 90s kid so.

Haha its very amusing.

Yeah I don't know why it disappeared, but I just went to fix it and its back. Which is super weird never had that happen before.

Yeah, I also like that Rowland found her and saved her rather than it being because she was a prostitute.

I like that you did that with their places its really needs. I have started working Maxen's bio now and hope to get the others up soon.

As for my post, it might end up being shorter this time solely because this is the part where she bites him ya know.

[mamagermany]

I'm at that age where I'm technically speaking a 90s kid, but I wasn't really conscious for enough of the 90s for the culture to leave a real impression on me. I'd never really call myself a 90s kid.

I'm done. For now. We'll see. Goodness knows I have no shortage of other plays and movies coming my way.

Huh. So it is.

Before it was so much weaker, Kilroy just arbitrarily deciding to make Nadya a vampire for no real good reason and Nadya being stupid enough to just wander off with him.
I think one thing I'll work on next is reworking a bit of Elizabeth's backstory. There's some stuff that I came up with when we were just starting this years ago, with this other older vampire, but it's not working for me anymore. I'll have to get rid of it and work around the holes.

I do love this stage of the RP planning. When you've come up with all the basics and now you get to start fantasizing about dynamics and little scenarios that develop the relationships. It's what I spend my days daydreaming about.

That makes perfect sense.

[Love Dove]

Well I was born in 91 so I grew up in the 90s haha.

Well hopeful its that least some good movies that you like or at least can stand.

Weird right?!

Totally, plus there was the issue that she never left her group but followed him off.
Interesting, I'm looking forward to what you do with it.

Oh yeah me too, though I usually daydream about parts that I know will happen in some way.

[mamagermany]

Yeah, I don't think I count in that regard.

Hopefully. Committing yourself for two hours to something dull isn't nice. But generally, the movie would have to really really suck to be less desirable than studying from a textbook or anything, so it's almost always going to be better.

Yeah, for days I was wondering what was up, and just you visiting the page made it work? Like, were you editing it or anything?

I know, it was weak. It wouldn't have really explained why she acts like she does.

I wish I was so realistic. I don't think about 80% of what I daydream about actually makes its way into my RPs, for one reason or another. Whether it's because the RP just never gets that far along, or the story takes twists and turns that lead it away from what I imagined, or I daydream about things that don't actually happen over the course of the story.

[Love Dove]

Ah! What year were you born if I may ask?

Yeah, well I mean even boring crazy movies are better than reading text books for sure.

I have no idea either, cause no I didn't edit it. I saw it was missed up, and got really busy. Then I went to edit and fix it and she's back.

Yeah, though I mean we all have that weak part somewhere. That's why I really kind of hate doing bios.

Well one of the great things is that with plot twists. Its always possible to twist and turn them so they can happen at another point. Or a version of them.

[mamagermany]

96.

That's what's so great about theater classes. The material is never truly dull, even at its worst.

Now I think my weak links are Kilroy, and, of course, Bela. It's really driving me crazy how even after having come up with him like a month ago, I still have really no ideas for what this guy's story is. And that's weird because I usually kind of love doing bios.

Hopefully so.
