how does she feel about perky morning people?
asuka brain
adora still needs one, too :|a
なんでシットゥ!
6LilacMimeLions
: the perky will be somewhat baffling but setsuna is absolutely one of those people who gets up at 5 in the morning and goes for a jog because it would be rude to wake anyone else up just to be less lonely
なんでシットゥ!
doing the jogging is harder on thr rig where it will absolutely be rude to jog that early due to likelihood of running into someone possibly literally being higher
6LilacMimeLions
i think there's a track in the gym
なんでシットゥ!
but i don't think that'll matter a bit to her just having a "it's almost dawn, body says get up" switch in her brain that never shuts off regardless
なんでシットゥ!
she can also do the patented soldier-training sleep-anywhere trick, i suspect
6LilacMimeLions
nora's just the "head empty/no thoughts" but smiling one so yeah she has no problem falling asleep
なんでシットゥ!
i would be down for either nora or adora, tho adora might be a bit weird in context of them in the sheetcake thread
なんでシットゥ!
and i do love nora, so

We really need to get some kind of roommate chart up. It's basically handwaved just for whatever, but it's one of those good character things
なんでシットゥ!
i remember that i realized we could pick our own roommate situation and that there were she-ra characters in the game simultaneously and i went "holy shit what if catra and setsuna roomies" and then completely forgot about asking about it until just now
なんでシットゥ!
but honestly there's a lot of fun options to choose from, so
6LilacMimeLions
the decision between "perfect roommate" and "perfectly terrible roommate" is so hard
6LilacMimeLions
both have great cr opportunities
なんでシットゥ!
right
なんでシットゥ!
i suppose i will keep suggestions open for the floor until tomorrow sometime
なんでシットゥ!
someone might have a really great idea about this i haven;t got a brain to think of and i'll come back to this and be like wow i never considered that but it's brilliant let's do it
なんでシットゥ!
i mean like the possibility of someone looking at someone as perky and violently gormless as nora and then the psudeo-goth awkward silence of setsuna and visibly processing their confusion that this hasn't ended in the two of them killing each other or forming a cult is, ngl, deeply appealing to me
なんでシットゥ!
but also the "setsuna rooms with a she-ra" possibility of Shared Trauma Roomies trying not to accidentally hedgehog's dilemma each other as they cope or fail to, depending on day and depending on which it would be, god, so good
なんでシットゥ!
and then there must be possibilities i haven't even really considered yet, like, idk, what if rey, or what if tenten
なんでシットゥ!
ooops i forgot to friend the mod plurk. somehow.
なんでシットゥ!
i'm smart
なんでシットゥ!
anyway it's getting to be about time for me to figure out at least the way i'd like to start up the whole akarun situation i made into a potential plot because the more she has to interact with saint-14 and see gepetto the harder it becomes for me to reasonably have her avoid the subject at least internally
なんでシットゥ!
so am gently setting that thread aside for a minute, sorry saint-14 it's not you it's me
Platinum
"do you not have phones" gee thanks for that flashback
なんでシットゥ!
oh good i was hoping it would
なんでシットゥ!
the people who had to make those episodes deserve to have their desperate attempts to fill time with something remembered with some level of fondness, even as a throwaway joke 90% of the people reading it won't even realize is there as a joke
Platinum
I actually had to go on a quick research thing to see if they even had wired phones
Platinum
naruto technology is so dumb
Platinum
how do you have miniature radios without phones
なんでシットゥ!
it's not intended to be consistent on anything beyond an aesthetic level, it's literally only a problem for people trying to kludge a sense of cultural-development consistency out of it after the fact, people see "radio" and think "thing that predates phones" and don't think about it past that
なんでシットゥ!
it's designed to be as simply and unjarringly "processed" by its intended audience as possible. that actually trained professionals or amateur historians invested in the subject will squawk and know better is a side effect it couldn't care less about
なんでシットゥ!
immediate "legibility" is what's being sought after, it is not a universe intended to survive for longer than three days later, as philip k dick once so memorably described the problem
Platinum
and here i am, overthinking all this like a chump because i demand internal consistency from a man who just wants to make a flashy comic about friendship making people into better people.
なんでシットゥ!
but lol it does make things a nightmare when you try to do anything with it besides tell the story it already is with what it gives you
6LilacMimeLions
getting into panfandom and having to explain your canon's dumb as fuck worldbuilding: all part of the fun!
なんでシットゥ!
remembering the years of "so is redvsblue set in halo" "not even the people making it know and they certainly don't care" and then the eventual revision into "well yes, kinda"
6LilacMimeLions
i assume halo is canon when rping rvb but rvb is not canon when rping halo
6LilacMimeLions
fortunately dr grey is from nowheresville and also it's a civil war so she doesn't have to know any real current events
なんでシットゥ!
this seems the intended method, yes
なんでシットゥ!
it just seemed the most immediately apt example i was aware of besides the aforementioned "why are there miniature radios but not yet phones" naruto headache
なんでシットゥ!
i mean there's interesting cultural implications in that technology being invented and no one investing in or realizing it could be used for what we think of as phones and in fact to a certain extent this is borne out in the interwoven dynamics of the world as presented anyway but oh god no i am definitely entering overthinking it territory there
なんでシットゥ!
anyway i still need to settle on a roommate for setsuna hm
6LilacMimeLions
"overthinking it" is what rpers do
なんでシットゥ!
ok so nora has a roomie now (and i also think her and sylvain is the best outcome) which means i need to make people fight for this honor so i can choose
なんでシットゥ!
my initial dream option of "this will end with such glorious disastrousness" of catra is probably not an option because it doesn't make sense according to their sheetcake thread imo, unless
i stay silly :3
thinks that's handwaveable in which case hell yes
i stay silly :3
I think it is totally handwavable
なんでシットゥ!
oh my god
なんでシットゥ!
i'm so happy
なんでシットゥ!
let's be roomies catra
i stay silly :3
YES
i stay silly :3
the only precure i've seen is heartcatch and setsuna reminds me a lot of cure moonlight in some ways
なんでシットゥ!
i mean
なんでシットゥ!
precure has color tropes for its characters that you get familiar with over the decades and one of them is The Purple One
i stay silly :3
XD
なんでシットゥ!
setsuna and yuri are their series' respective The Purple One
i stay silly :3
i see
なんでシットゥ!
the purple one is the one who is usually motivated heavily by a sense of personal responsibility and shadowed by the immense guilt of a past failure they feel they have to atone for to be either worthy of achieving their dreams or just plain having/trusting in friends
i stay silly :3
I actually have a Yuri journal somewhere (and Erika)
なんでシットゥ!
sometimes they just outright trashtalk the other cures for being incompetent or unreliable until they thaw out and stop being alternately extremely uptight or literally being on the villains' side because of their issues
なんでシットゥ!
(erika ... good)
なんでシットゥ!
i have Watched Every Season of this ridiculous franchise for children and for this i apologize
Platinum
not your fault that adult content sometimes gets real bad while trying to prove how mature it is
なんでシットゥ!
i mean that's not a bias i feel about "mature" content personally, i just care far too deeply about magical girls, is all ...?
i stay silly :3
ngl I loved the hell out of heartcatch but I couldn't really get into other ones I watched
なんでシットゥ!
like, one of my paying "day jobs" is writing erotic body horror fiction, i make the kind of content i usually find a lot of the people saying "adult content is too insistent on proving how mature it can be" are pointing at examples of when they say such a thing - but i also, like ... really enjoy magical girl shows, they've always been valuable to me, so
Platinum
Nah, I phrased myself poorly.
Platinum
I'm thinking more, like
Platinum
One of the things that irks me in some adult-oriented comedies and cartoons is how hard they work to prove that they're Not For Kids sometimes.
なんでシットゥ!
tbh everyone kind of like. has their precure, especially now that it's been going over a decade and a half with a whole new season and approach for almost every one of those 16 years
Platinum
sometimes you want soft and fluffy and kids shows deliver that
Platinum
(Hi, I'm bad at expressing myself even when I'm not sleep deprived, pardon me while I fumble for words)
なんでシットゥ!
that's a lot of different takes on the basic idea, which was at least in its initial starting intent "a magical girl show where they derive their power literally from the strength of the relationship between them, the magical 'combat' and costume attire is inspired by wrestlers, and their transformation devices are toyetic plush fairies from another world"
i stay silly :3
also ngl interpreting cure sunlight (kinda retrospectively) as a trans narrative makes my little heart happy
なんでシットゥ!
i have my issues w cure sunlight as-written but i'm never going to stop people from taking sunlight that way 'cause lol i know how much taking those toys and loving them can mean
なんでシットゥ!
living that trans woman life and staring at a cartoon character like "... can i steal it and say it's mine now? no one's gonna stop me if i point at it and say 'mine' right? takes the thing and runs before anyone can try"
なんでシットゥ!
it's a cartoon, hah, it's just a drawing, they can't tell me i'm wrong about this one, i win
i stay silly :3
God mood
