First of all, Happy Birthday!!!! My dear Bel <3 I want to doodle something for him, but I'm afraid I won't have time >O< I do have a Birthday fic for him though >3

Title: "One in a Million"
Rating: T
Dedicated to: Bel
Summary: Bel's birthday usually consisted of lavish parties, courting from princesses of other kingdoms, exquisite presents, and most of all the authority to do whatever he wanted. However, life in the Varia is mostly riches to rags, power versus weakness, and missions on top of missions. There is no way anyone will remember this most important date. When Bel is mysteriously summoned to the chamber of Varia's boss, Xanxus, he's given a top secret mission. Strangely enough his assignment is to find a suitable present for the boss for Christmas - and not just any present. Due to Bel's cheekiness and slide remarks, he now has to find a certain "blonde-haired, unseen-eyed, and a mass murderer" girl who will please Xanxus, for compensation.
Pairing: Xanxus/Bel (hah! Didn't see that coming, did 'ya! <3)
Paged: One-Shot

"One in a Million" XB One-Shot

I know your character had an odd upbringing. I also know he's pissed off and hates the world right now and wants revenge on everyone blah blah blah.

But dude.

When you essentially threaten my character and another character with death, ramble about how you nearly got assassinated, and say that your two NPC lackeys took down the assassins bare-handed, all in response to two characters mocking you because you didn't know anything about Christmas and yet were at a Christmas party--

--with other characters around no less, did you really expect someone to take you seriously and quake in their boots about how intimidating and scary you are?

...

You did, it seems, as you told me that my character would be dead in another reality for dismissing your guy as completely fucking insane, rolling his eyes, and walking off before your guy finishes. I mean, really now.

There's trying too hard and then there's this.

Genre: Drama
Rating: All Audiences
Pairing/Characters: Squalo, Xanxus, Rafaele
Word Count: 2556
Notes/Warnings: May help to have read A House Divided and know the Guardians we came up with for the Ninth.

Summary: A new branch in the Choice 'verse. What if Squalo had been taken in by the Vongola earlier, and met Xanxus much sooner? What change would that have made in both of them?

In the end it all came down to Xanxus, Rafaele decided later. He didn't normally pay much attention to the mafia children until they were old enough to seek a real position. As both Gianni and Maria were wont to say, each in his or her own way, they had their fellow Guardians to satisfy any such urges. But having Xanxus running around the main house like a kid-shaped bomb, ready to go off at any second, would make anyone a little more alert. So when Tyr mentioned, after the sparring session when they were both wrapping their various cuts and bruises, that there was a promising new swordsman coming along among the children, Rafaele listened.

(I want your revenge) @ redmoon_icons

Look. I understand that we all have some problems. And starting a board in the summer is never easy to keep up. So it's not like I really can hold that much of a grudge against either of you. But I asked to help, and you both enthusiastically said that it would be awesome. So I set out to help. Why did no one at all help me? The one board I joined, where I offered to help and I was told that my best help would be as a member - and possibly later on playing a canon character I know and respect - is still going pretty strong.

I just really think it's a royal pain that you can't even be bothered with your own boards.

Pictures are under the cut! I have a DeviantArt., but only one of the pictures from this set is up on there. I have another friend who wishes to help on photo editing. Hopefully they should be done this week by Wednesday, if not I will add my versions.




( Onward to my fail! )

This is a really weird trend.

I'm sure everyone knows and hates those multi-page purple prose descs that go into great detail about every pore on a character’s skin... But what about the descs that just amount to ‘Character is wearing a black t-shirt, jeans, and shoes’.

...And that’s literally ALL IT SAYS.

Nothing about height, build, hair color, face, NOTHING. 

Personally I just imagine these characters as being walking coat hangers or something. Just sets of clothing, floating around… Like the invisible man. It's becoming weirdly common at the game I'm at too.

That and a lot of the characters are various fantasy creatures, and they'll just have descs like, "She/He looks just like a <species>. ...In a t-shirt and jeans." (It's always a t-shirt and jeans. I dunno, is that better or worse than long black trenchcoats?)

Wow so basically your character looks and dresses generic as hell? Maybe I'll just imagine him really ugly and deformed with greasy hair, because you aren't telling me otherwise.

I'm really not sure if this is better or worse than the purple prose descs. Really it's just the opposite extreme. Easier on the eyes perhaps, but goddamn, what happened to creativity? What happened to making your character unique?

Edit: For the record, I've asked one or two of these sorts to describe their char in more detail... because they had asked me to draw a picture of them. They then proceeded to act quite confused that I needed more detail, because after all, of course I should know what their character looks like from a single sentence description of their clothing. :\

Hello there~

I'm taking requests for any prompts regarding the Yamamoto and Ryohei pairing and I invite anyone who has anything to give me some to write about :)

Can be anything from pure drabble or fluff to more...eherm..naughty stuff xD

Just give me either short word prompts like 'movie' or 'bouncing on a trampoline' or if you want, a more detailed request of your liking.

Depending on the demand I am willing to extend the number of prompts I make, since writing is so much fun right now :)

follow the fake cut rainbow

oh look i made an accidental pun on the sun + rain thing 8D *shot*

All I have to say is 'WTF Man.'
Seriously. We were all RPing just fine, laughing as we did because some days, especially times around holidays where we are all stressed to hell, we like to have fun. We warned you before hand that we are not super serious people. That we're all pretty laid back, and enjoy a laugh every now and then.
So what the hell? Out of no where, you decide to try and kill my character? and not even in a 'Lol stabbity stab' way, but in long, drawn out, TL;DR posts about how she did something she never did? You haven't even been RPing with us for 3 weeks yet, and you pull this? And then, to make it worse, when we ask you about it, all of us curious on WHY you would try and pull this, you start drama?
You say you 'Hate me' and I'm the 'Worst thing to ever happen to this group' because I wouldn't let you get with my boy? Because we wouldn't go with your Ego-trip plot?
Hate to break it to you kiddo, but I started this group. It was also really dumb to invite everyone, save me, to a different channel to try and revolt started. These people are my friends, even the person who invited you to our group says you have to go.
I really don't know what brought t this on. I've talked to you twice. It's not just my decision that made you plot a No-go either. We run a democracy. We voted, no one wanted to join in this dick-sucking contest for your low self esteem.

Happy birthday to Belphegor! :D
In asia timings so it's 22nd here already!

Dear close friend,

We're playing in a nifty little RP. There's no real plot other than my most annoying character and the one person he'll listen to getting magically dropped into your world to mess with your characters (and fight for humanity's freedom, but that's secondary.)

Now, my character (the annoying one) isn't human or sane. In fact, he says he's insane and is pretty heavily medicated. You want to call him a monster, an animal, batshit, or anything similar? Cool! I love when people insult him, because it gets him angry, which makes him more annoying and more fun. Him being annoying is kind of the point of this game. Gives me more to work with.

What's not cool is getting angry at me when my character responds. If your character gets angry at my character? Fine! More drama which is fun. But you're getting pissed at me for my character getting angry over being insulted and beat down (and threatened with dog kennels.) OOC =/= IC and in game actions lead to in game consequences. Your character makes threats, my character makes threats. Your character makes offensive jokes toward my character; my character isn't going to be a happy little obedient soldier.

TL;DR: Stop getting angry when my character responds to threats and insults!

Sincerely,
That friend with the annoying, psycho werewolf.

P.S., So you've got the new, fleshy Cylons androids with identical and attractive bodies. The first one my character ran into tried to kill him and succeeded in leaving him with a huge wound. It was, understandably, traumatic. Don't be surprised when he doesn't trust the next android he meets with that face, even if I know that she's on the 'good' side. My character has no way of knowing this, and I even scaled down his reaction. In my personal writing of him, he would have shot her instead of telling her to "Leave. Now. Or I shoot." Stop getting angry at me!

Title: A Flower Called Heartsease
Rating: G
Warnings: Too cute.
Characters/Pairing(s): TYL!Tsuna, Uni
Challenge/Prompt: sekrit gift for akaru_hana.
Summary: She reminded him of himself over and over again, so much that it hurt to look at her eyes, and she probably knew that based on the way she was smiling at him.
Notes: Written after the TYL arc, after Tsuna's presumed win against Byakuran, and after TYL!Tsuna had finally told everyone the truth about his 'death'. Title is from the Oct 2007 31_days theme set. I hope you like this one!


here @ my fic journal.

( Post examples behind the cut )
This is why my character keeps dropping subjects and why my posts take three times longer to write than yours. I have to figure out how to respond in a natural way to all of the action and dialog, without introducing any new subjects otherwise you will continue on and divide up the conversation even further. He is not going to just sit there and stare dumbfounded while you leave the room, come back, elbow him, etc. Real life and in-character conversations are not Livejournal posts, people do not actually respond point-by-point! I am pretty sure you have spoken to another human being before so I am unsure why you seem to think this is the case, but it isn't.

I'm verbose but my posts could be shorter and faster and more fun if I didn't have to sit here and struggle with timing and action. I wish this was only one person doing it, but I see it a lot, even from awesome rp'ers, and I don't understand. All it takes is one person doing it to fuck up a thread where the rest of the characters either have to drop subjects or deal with actions and its just so incredibly annoying. Its incredibly difficult when there are three or more characters and they are all doing this and then A is responding to C's comment while B is talking to C as well and CLUSTERFUCK.

PS please place dialog on the end or beginning of a paragraph, not split up throughout, thank you.


(Sorry if the example is confusing, its even more confusing to try and roleplay)
