[OOC] The New Frontier: A Marvel/DC One Universe RP

[Sep]

[Eddie Brock]

I actually enjoy playing female characters. I like the challenge of trying to occupy a completely foreign headspace. I don't think I've ever played someone with a particularly strong racial identity either way.

[Morden Man]

I wrote a whole 1x1 with Byrd set in a small town in South Carolina despite having never stepped foot there.

Y'all motherfuckers are overcomplicating things. People be people, yo.

[Sep]

@Morden Man I KNOW, I do play a Ruski after all.

Just rarely play a woman.

[GreenGrenade]

Does Onomatopoeia count as underrated?

@Lord Wraith

In that he isn't used much? Sure.
_{He's a freakin' beast.}

In terms of playing a character of colour, I've never really had a problem with it. With Miles, I'm fortunate enough to get some help from Bendis, who's really starting to get into his thoughts about being "the black Spider-Man".

With playing women/girls, I have to say some of the most fun I've had is playing Mia Dearden in Henry's game. Seriously. I loved it. It's never a challenge for me, so much as... fun.

[Morden Man]

Not all people of colour are the same and neither are all women. So if there are people out there that want to play a character but are afraid they won't sound "black" enough or that the female character they are writing sounds too "man-ish" I'd suggest they chill. Chances are you're probably worrying too much. Even if it is for the most benevolent reason possible.

Shakespeare never left England and you never hear people complaining that his Danish, Roman, or Venetian characters weren't authentic enough.

[TimeMasterX]

@Morden Man Well there was a period of time where it's unclear about what exactly Shakespeare did and several historians have theorized he travelled abroad for a while.

In other news...


I've started writing...

[Morden Man]

@TimeMasterX About time.

[Sep]

@Morden Man Oh look Timemaster posted over night...

-goes and cries in the corner-

@Sep

I said I was writing, I never said who :P

[Sep]

@TimeMasterX IT WAS INSINUATED

[TimeMasterX]

@Sep

Just...scoot closer...take a look at this...

[Lord Wraith]

I call for a vote of no confidence in TimeMasterX's Doom.

It's a cruel ruse I tell you!

@Lord Wraith

More than anything, it's an awful piece of expectations management.

If you spend three weeks hyping up a single post, I expect that post to be Earth-shatteringly good. Anything less than that is going to be considered a disappointment.

So yeah, no pressure, Time.

@Morden Man

You know, I never used to use gifs in OOCs.

Shame on you all for breaking me.

Daredevil Season 2 Episode 5+ stuff

Love Kingpins re-appearance, and though I doubt we'll see him post Castles 'escape' from Prison (I am on episode 10 currently) it was a nice little recap and lets us know we're going to see him in the future.

I'm growing to like this version of the Kingpin more, he's very much the kind of villain I like.

[TimeMasterX]

[Sep]

@Morden Man you should just do what you did with an inactive @Vandy (Poor poor busy soul) and threaten to have Doom be caught prancing around his castle dressed up like Sue Storm.

[Morden Man]

I'm thinking about dropping the Fantastic Four.

It's not that I don't enjoy writing them, because I have enjoyed what I've written so far, but that I realise that I don't really have anything long term planned for them. I'll be playing them post to post, waiting for some lightning bolt-shaped inspiration to come along, when someone else (potentially) could be playing them.

I don't know who else I'd pick up in their place but I wanted to make it known where I was at (or not at, more accurately) with them just in case someone was sat wishing they could play them.

[Gowi]

Going to kick all distractions (facebook, etc) out of the way for today just to get writing done.

[FacePunch]

I'm going to embrace my distractions and play some more League of Salt.
