I've been thinking more and more about why we tell stories. I started to feel like everything I was writing was unoriginal. Like everything that I was writing had just been done somewhere else better and there was no point in progressing my work any further. Every great work of fiction has...
@Ayama
But yeah I've been thinking a lot about how we tell stories... we obsess over them. Since the dawn of time superpowers and dramatic, action packed stories full of magic have always existed. It seems like a concept we are innately drawn to. Theres a lot of talk about how the MCU is...
Ah well you're welcome to reply and chat me up here any time. If anything it's nice to know I'm not just talking to a wall here...
Right now I've been mentally composting something along the lines of how there's so much media, so many stories that have been told and are being told in our lives...
Has anyone ever noticed that the word "Shucks" is a combination of Shit and Fucks but perfectly acceptable to show on Y7-TV for your stereotypical hillbilly/southerner type character?
Actually "Heck" is a combination of Hell and Fuck, and also pretty much acceptable to say in elementary school...
So I was going to rant about how public school (at least here in America) is basically depression concentrate, but I found something more aggravating to rant about.
(I was going to check kibou's tutorial to inform this post but the page link is broken)
So second to ghosting, it seems one of...
[TW for anyone with conservative views on gender and sexuality.]
So my dad got married yesterday. Well Re-married. My parents actually split about a year ago, but that's not really what I'm here to vent about. The wedding was boring as shit. It was supposed to be outdoors but due to wether we...
You know time is the thing we value most but use least wisely...
Anyways I remember having this online friend who had pet birds. I don't know why anyone would want pet birds. He was constantly struggling to take care of them, they always seemed to be getting sick or injured and dying, and...
Do you ever think of how inefficient our lives are and how little time we really have to ourselves. Like when you say you live for 60 years. But out of each day you probably spend:
8 hours asleep
5 minutes brushing your teeth
5 minutes getting dressed
10 minutes pooping
15 minutes showering
25...
Some random mind-bending RP ideas.
-I really want a meta-RP where each player RPs someone who is RPing in a group, but like do it in a highly satirical over-the-top-way. Like we could have the edgy teenager who makes an edge lord character who always wears black and talks about self harm and...
How to fix Spore Cotd
Space Stage
-The big ships and small ships concepts returns. In addition to your special player controlled ship, there would be small and large ships for War, Commerce and Culture. You could build ships on planets with cities; each city or population point increases your...
So remember in my last post I was talking about Spore? That bad good game that EA released over a decade ago. I sunk a lot of hours into that game and looking back I realize there were probably better games I could have been playing. For some reason I have come up with this extremely elaborate...
Does anyone ever read this thread? It has 520 views but what does that even mean. Does that mean someone has read everything 520 times? Or does that just mean there have been 520 people that have visited this thread.

You know what I hate? The fact that you can't make characters with...
Sigh... Do you ever just sit down and have a good old fashioned existential crisis?
Like think about how ridiculously meaningless everything is? Think about it. We are born, and every second after that Entropy takes its roots on us. Our cells begin to divide and mutate. Our bodies mature and...
Do you ever think about how many fantasy and scifi series utilize the concept of mechanical or artificial limbs? Where there are prosthetic limbs that are able to work as well, if not better than normal limbs; and sometimes even have bonus features that make them useful such as not feeling pain...
YES. So imagine this:
They move all the actually top secret stuff outside of Area 51. They put some people dressed as aliens with professional makeup artists in a haunted house style room with like cryo pods and smoke machines and all that somewhere on the site. They can get a bunch of security...
You know what's a scam? Greeting cards.
Do you ever think about how much you spend on greeting cards each year? Let's say you know 10 people between friends and family which you get cards on each holiday.
Christmas/Hannukah/Winter Gift-Giving Holiday
Valentine's Day
Halloween
Everyone's...
So yeah. This is going to be a journal thread. I find myself coming to this site a lot even though I don't really role play here much anymore. Reason being there are way too many flaky people here. The problem of chronic ghosting is so bad that I could make a thread complaining about the chronic...
I check in here every night or two. I always think I come on here late at night attempting to find something interesting to talk about or the motivation to work on my old star wars fan fiction but it never happens.
What I don't understand is how this community can have so many constantly people soap boxing about the issue of ghosting (there are honestly so many ghosting threads that I could make a thread ranting about how often people making ghosting threads), rehashing the same points about how everything...
