as I’m sure you’re all aware I can’t stand negative cr and my characters are always objectively in the right
ass sanselion
it’s hard to be this perfect but someone has to do it
mj
That’s my favorite thing about them, that they’re all morally unimpeachable and only make wise choices.
ass sanselion
anyway I used to put all my beanie babies in a Barbie car and push it down the stairs to see which ones would fall out so I think that’s a pretty close approximation of my play style
ass sanselion
its 200% more fun with a friend
gayest uncle
hahahaha
gayest uncle

ass sanselion
thank you mj I agree
ass victoriam 🍑

whenever there’s a meme like “would you want to meet your character” my blood runs cold. No they would kick my ass
jill grahamyao
bene would not kick your ass, he’d just make whoever his boyfriend is do it for him
ass sanselion
Oh true
Tᴀᴛᴇʀs.
I'm not at all worried about beating bene's ass
ass sanselion
I will say he’s got some nasty spells even if he’s not much of a physical fighter
Tᴀᴛᴇʀs.
ah, true
ass victoriam 🍑
like the time he flung that Horror spell that made Wren almost wreck everyone's shit
ass victoriam 🍑
that was awesome
k2bu
assign your guys beanie babies please
ass sanselion
Lmf
ass sanselion
This goes into a very strange place bc all my beanie babies had specific personalities that undoubtedly evolved into current characters in some way
frantic banjos
which beanie baby would each of them be
frantic banjos
a vital meme within the meme
ass sanselion
See that’s the thing, the question you’re asking is “which of your childhood ocs correspond to your current ocs”
ass sanselion
if you guys really want to know all the characterizations of my favorite beanie babies I can provide but that seems somewhat in the “telling someone your dreams” realm
ass sanselion
unless they all had canon personalities I didn’t know about but I always ripped off the tags so idk
k2bu
no now I feel we gotta know
mj
yeah you've made a grave error
ass sanselion
sigh ok gimme some time
Tᴀᴛᴇʀs.
I also want to know
ass sanselion
ok it is Dad Hour of the baby bedtime misery loop so here we go
ass sanselion
Zip the black cat was my first one so he was the oldest brother (the cats are all siblings, this is important), had a very advanced sense of responsibility but was a massive coward who hid behind the enforcer Chip, the calico cat, despite her being younger
ass sanselion
she was a ballbuster who was involved romantically with my best friend's yellow cat Nip, a chill dude who didn't care that she walked all over him because he was into it I guess
ass sanselion
as much as a nine year old conceives of people being Into Things
ass sanselion
the closest Chip analog is Teren I think but Chip was very femmey in a way Teren has never been, she was just the most like. aggro
ass sanselion
let's see, then younger than them were the twins Pounce and Prance (brown and silver tabby respectively) ((yes we kept all their names)), the former of whom was whiny and kind of mean-spirited, like. incel material except incels weren't a thing in the 90s
ass sanselion
and Prance was kind of a wunderkind, clever and chaotic and good at everything
ass sanselion
we were very misandrist I'm sorry
ass sanselion
Prance notably also had an off-brand bean bag pet dog named Brofie who was exceedingly violent and could also talk
ass sanselion
I think it's safe to say Pounce's archetype turned into the proto-Benedict except with my adolescence and adulthood layered onto him which made him Shitty But Also Hot In A Stupid Way
ass sanselion
Prance is best represented by Rosemarie, one of the characters in my comic who I used to RP but don't anymore
ass sanselion
and the youngest sister was Flip the white cat, who had the quietest personality and mostly kept to herself but with weird hobbies and I think she was also a klepto or something like that, this was kind of towards the end of that phase of my life
ass sanselion
I'll match her with Fifi
ass sanselion
Barrow I'll say is an amalgam of Zip and Nip even if the other one wasn't mine, but he was just kinda laid-back and let everyone boss him around and as such was spared most of the antagonism. and Zip was just a Good Guy. he was the straight man
ass sanselion
the pattern with all of our characters was generally that the girls and women were screechy violent hellions who had all the fun and the boys/men were their cowering servants just trying to exist
ass sanselion
deeply problematic
ass sanselion
I would also be remiss if I didn't include the Slies (plural for Sly), who were like. semi-feral agents of chaos who basically operated by cartoon rules and existed to torment the normal people of the world
ass sanselion
I was very into Animaniacs as a kid but they were like less cognizant than the Warners
ass sanselion
I dont' have anyone analogous to Sly anymore. Sly is in everyone I think
ass sanselion
pure id
ass sanselion
anyway some of you met Kelly at the baby shower, she was my bff and we extensively developed all these characters together on the school bus and our crown jewel was an entire musical that we made up in an afternoon for some fucking reason
ass sanselion
the most important factor of any stories I made up as a kid was that they were always extremely cartoonishly violent and dramatic and everyone was a bad person, which is to say absolutely nothing has changed
ass sanselion
thanks for coming to my ted talk
k2bu
beautiful
k2bu
I'd pay money for that musical
gayest uncle
thrilled with all of this content
mj
amazing knowledge
ass sanselion
it's deep lore
Lana
all of this is INCREDIBLE
Lana
which one of them most often fell out of your barbie car?
Lana
and also which kind of barbie car
Lana
?
ass sanselion
it was the corvette
ass sanselion
and I’m sure I orchestrated it such that pounce and/or zip fell out the most
