@Eruca:

Sorry I went all philosophical on you lol. I was just comparing the two based off my preference and what I noticed in both movies. Plus like in the Depp movie version they completely left out the Sluggworth character who was trying to 'bait' the kids into getting an everlasting gobstopper for thousands of dollars. You notice that part was totally lost in the remake. They made Sluggworth a competitor instead with no face time. Said that he was stealing Wonka's ideas and making money, when in the original Sluggworth was actually working for Wonka to test the kids to see if they'd be trustworthy or brats.

Before I head to bed, I'm gonna say, I love lurking. I do it all the time on other sites, but like you said, Getting volts only for posting makes it hard on lurkers. But give me a couple good RPs and I'll be making the volts like crazy.

It was a hot afternoon in June, when Zane biked to his friends house. He and his friend had spent the majority of the summer together since it was summer vacation. For a ten year old, summer vacation was the best time of the year. Sweat poured down the side of his face as he petaled. The sun was beating down upon his back as he rode. Normally he'd be super excited to meet up with his friend and couldn't wait to play with his video game console or go swimming at the local pool, but this day was a sad day.

He pulled up into the driveway of his friends house. His friend was already waiting on his porch for him. He dismounted his bike and let it drop to the grass as he came up to meet his best bud. His friend was eager to see him, but when he saw the look on Zane's face, he frowned. After asking what was wrong, Zane took a deep breath and told his friend that he had to move. His dad got relocated to another city. The city would be four hours away. It'd be next to impossible they could visit, but they could keep in touch with letters. His friend, of course was sad and the remaining days they had, they spent together.

On the last day, before Zane and his family drove away forever, they stopped at his friends' house to say goodbye. Hugs and watery eyes (but not crying cus they were men, not weak babies) ensued. He waved to his friend until he could no longer see him. Then he cried...quietly.

The wrote together for a while, but the letters became fewer, and eventually they lost touch.
****
Ten years later

"I know I KNOW, you want me to get a new job. You don't think I've been trying?" Zane said angrily to his mom as he began to retreat down to the basement where his room was located. His mom stared at him and frowned as her son disappeared into his dark, dismal but full of computer equipment, room. Zane had finished school and barely graduated. His grades had been dismal but passing enough for him to graduate high school. He got a job instead of going to college, and the job was well paying. Enough for him to buy a couple monitors, a good CPU and lots of hard drive space for games. He spent whatever time he had not working or sleeping, on his computer, and in doing so his concentration diminished at work and he got fired. While being unemployed, he'd play the latest and best looking MMO games he could find. Currently he was on a game called Everfall, which was a fantasy hack-n-slash, fetch quest-ey, Dungeon crawler. The graphics were brilliant and he had multiple characters with multiple classes.

Zane's mother stood at the top of the stairs, looking into the basement. "You've been playing your silly games, and not putting in applications. If you don't put any in, how do you expect to get interviews? You're so smart hun, I wish you'd just apply yourself and not get wrapped up in all those computers." she said in a concerned voice. Zane rolled his eyes. "I'll put some in tomorrow. Promise.." he said. He looked at his mother until she retreated, then he went back to playing.






Posted in Looking for Compatible Partner (1x1) Posted 5 years ago


Hello!

Okay, so to start off: Hi I'm Crystal. Or Kitsune, whichever. I'm looking to RP. I've been doing RP for years (off and on) for about 15 years or so and I do admit I'm a bit picky when it comes to partners. This is why I normally lurk and I don't RP much on these forum sites. So! Read through my preferences before you reply. Thanks! Also please @ me, so I know when you've replied. Sometimes I may not reply right away if I don't know you've posted.

Since I have been RPing for a very long time I have improved with my post style and I've become accustomed to certain protocols while RPing. Below I'll list some things that I require from my partner.

▶ I'm a Semi Para RPer. I expect my partner to be the same. Usually my first posts are longer since they are intro posts, but anywhere to 3-4 good chunks of text are usually what I go for. I want a nice quick story, I don't like wall-o-text either.

▶Good grammar and spelling are a must. I'm not for abbreviated words or 'text' speak in stories.

▶ Pleeeeeeease, don't expect me to lead the story. I've had too many partners just follow along with what I do. Have ideas of your own! I don't mind directing the story in a certain direction, but throw in some ideas of your own to make things interesting!

▶ If you are uninterested in continuing with the story at an time, please let me know. I don't want to bother you with messages if you aren't into the RP anymore. If I know you aren't into it, I'll find another partner to RP with.

▶Try to post as frequently as possible. I know RL comes first, but just don't leave me hanging with a post a day. If I'm really into a story I want to keep going as much as I can each day.

▶I'll only take on 1-2 RP's other then the one I'm doing with a friend. So if I'm full up, don't fret! I'll keep you in mind in case something comes up and I need a new partner.


Story Ideas

Each idea will have hearts to represent how much I really want to do that type of story. Fandoms will be included and are subject to change/fluctuate as I go

Fantasy- This can be anything between modern fantasy (think mythical creatures hiding among humans in a modern setting) or even a Lord of the Rings type fantasy with Elves and Dragons and such. Or Just dragons or Gryphons or anything else four legged. Stories can be similar to Lord of the Rings (just not as extreme) or the Valdemar universe of Mercedes Lackey. ♥♥♥

Slice of Life- School/Work/Daily type of life such. This can go along with the mythical creatures among humans. This genre is limitless meaning anything can happen. ♥♥

Modern(Fantasy)-Could be adventurous, mysterious, modern life with or without fantasy elements.

Magic School-(not HP) Magical school similar but not Harry Potter. A whole new world, magic, can include magic creatures as well. ♥♥

Stranded on an Island- Sort of self explanatory. It can either be friends stranded together, strangers stranded together, one person stranded and a merperson helps them, or if you are familiar with Dinotopia, a sort of stranded on a inhabited island having to 'start over' in that way of life (dinosaurs not necessarily included) ♥♥♥

FANDOMS:

Harry Potter - IF we do this fandom I really rather it be set apart from Harry Potter's generation. But not Mythical Beasts era either because I've only seen the first movie. I much rather just have it either be an AU or have it be set beyond Harry Potter so he can be mentioned but not in the actual story. I have a Hufflepuff OC named Nemara that I can use for this story. ♥

Pokemon- I've not really done Pokemon in AGES, so I may be rusty. Another problem is that I'm not super familiar with newer generation Pokemon. I'm more old school. Gen 1 and Gen 2 are ones I know more then any of the others. Also if we RP Pokemon we're not going to have super rare and OP Pokemon we can just whip out. We'll be normal trainers. We can talk more about this if you're interested. I'm hyped about the new movie that came out. Detective Pikachu. If you've seen it I'd love to do a story based in this universe. If not, lets just figure out our own thing. ♥

Next Gen Alice in Wonderland or Wizard of Oz - Basically stories set in either of these universes but without the original characters. So our own characters and our own story in Wonderland or Oz. ♥♥♥♥♥

Next Gen Peter Pan Something involving the future generations of Wendy/Peter Pan etc. Kind of like beyond the movie Hook. So grandkids of Peter Pan or something.♥♥♥

Steven Universe OCs in an AU or future setting I have a couple characters that can be used for this universe. ♥♥♥

IF any of the above things haven't scared you off, feel free to post. Hopefully you've read through the whole thing. If you have and you're interested let me know~ First come, first serve, so don't be discouraged if I get full up on partners, I'll poke you later to see if you're still interested. Thanks for reading (bow)

@Bearnas Tyr:

Oh yeah, I've mainly looked at Alastor artwork and I found this one video on Youtube that featured a lot of fan-art of both.

@Hachi: ahhh okay. I thought it was an error or something with how I was posting it inside. Thanks for the help!
Posted in Setting up Forum Post Format. Posted 5 years ago







@Hachi: Is it normal to have [post] show up in brackets like that in the preview? When I put the graphic at the top and and [post] in the center, it shows the two graphics but the words [post] show up as just text. Is that how it's supposed to be?
Posted in Bear's Art Archive Posted 5 years ago


@Bearnas Tyr:

I've seen a lot of fan-art keep with the same kind of asthetic. Since he's from the 1930's. I actually like it that he looks normal with his brown hair and glasses, and then kept the radio aspect after he died. He's usually in a shirt and vest, or sometimes a suit but it's muted colors instead of reds.

@Bearnas Tyr:

your character actually reminds me of the human version of Alastor from Hazbin Hotel.
