THE TL;DR MEGA MEME BONANZA

Comment with a list of your characters, receive questions, or just tl;dr on your own unprompted! Here's some suggestions. ◘ What does your character think of mine? ◘ What goes on during our handwaved CR? How much handwaved CR do we have? ◘ Canon information, for those unfamiliar with your canon. ◘ All sorts of headcanon questions-- sleeping positions, childhoods, past sexual or romantic history, etc. ◘ Would your character date mine? ◘ If they were put under a truth spell, what would come out? ◘ Where do you want to go with your character, story arc wise? ◘ Give an example of their daily routine in Keeliai. ◘ Who do they miss most from home? Would they go back if they could? ◘ What kind of music do you listen to while tagging? What does your character listen to ICly? ◘ Elaborate on what you've been working on improving in your writing style lately. ◘ What would their daemon spirit animal be, as from His Dark Materials? ◘ What have been your favorite threads with me? ◘ What do their dragons look like in Flight Rising? And much, much more! Go wild! I recommend making a plain top level comment with just your list of characters, and replying to yourself to fill out things on your own.

cheesy dumb boy

[definingfuture]

And then he broke and never loved again.

He probably still has that ring somewhere. Lost forever.

[exanimated]

he keeps it somewhere but he forgot where after his mindwipe and one day he's looking for something else and it falls out

[definingfuture]

Oh god. Finds it while sifting through his heap of stupid junk looking for useful parts and for a second he doesn't even know what it is. What is this ring? And then he realizes what it is and dies a little inside again.

Things he can't do without thinking about her: attend parties (especially clubs/dances), go to museums, eat sushi, and laugh (instead of chuckle).

Also poinsettias.

[exanimated]

studio ghibli is probably ruined for him forever too. HEY HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE NEWS THAT HAYAO MIYAZAKI IS RETIRING TONY?

[definingfuture]

HEY SHUT UP.

He doesn't even feel that strongly about Ghibli films. They are cute, okay, but he doesn't care that much. But that kind of thing was very Rumiko. She liked them, and obviously they most likely had some childhood nostalgic value. What little kid doesn't want to escape on a magical adventure?

There are other directors and animators. The genre isn't lost. But, for the woman that always seemed like she was trying to escape (or pretending to), that was her escape. And it feels like the end of an era. It's just another piece of her that he doesn't have and won't get back. So watch him go out of his way to view all the shorts now. orz See, that's something he would tell her about if he went to her grave site. Maybe on New Year or something. Make it a date.

[langsyne]

.................wow this is depressing and adorable

WHAT ISSUES IS RUMIKO IN I WANT TO READ ABOUT HER

[definingfuture]

Or man she is in and out of volume three. They have an on again, off again dating experience that turns into disgustingly cute and then really sad. She dies a bit before he gets Extremis.

Issues 13, 37-40, and 62-63 are pretty good and include some very cute moments with her. And amusingly show how she takes charge and Tony just kind of derps along after her. SUCH A HERO.

[langsyne]

okay I will try and dig these up then so I can cry with you and Michele or something

[definingfuture]

You can't always get what you want. But this time I have them on hand.

[langsyne]

*A* My hero!!

[definingfuture]

Volume 3 is made of a lot of derp and cheese, but I find it enjoyable anyway. :x
Just be ready for cheesiness. My notes during this include "Originality blooms like a garden in Marvel."

[langsyne]

Hey man, I read Silver Age DC comics on a daily basis and enjoy them immensely. Admittedly DC Silver Age stuff is more 'wtf were you high when you wrote this' than 'wow this is super cheesy' but I'm sure I'll enjoy it nonetheless. :|b

......Also wow if those are your notes, I'm super excited to read this.

[definingfuture]

Older comics can be a lot of fun for the wrong reasons. :'D I really enjoy them for the MST3K factor (and the times they really do say some decent, serious stuff). Also, I've found that IM doesn't take itself seriously. The title pages half the time credit people with ridiculous themes or slogans just to be silly. XD;

I am trying to read through in order to track his progression, and my summary notes go from useful to "Cleopatra was pretty and stuff" and "Still stuck in armor. lawl Stark."

[exanimated]

vol 3 Tony Stark is probably the last time Tony was universally likeable. After that civil war and then Fraction era and whatever the hell Gillen is doing so the character is pretty much ruined after that

it's basically the vol I rec to people if I want them to actually like Tony

IT'S FULL OF DERP AND ADORABLENESS and has the sentient armour arc

[langsyne]

okay what is this sentient armor I keep hearing about

[exanimated]

THE GREATEST THING EVER and also the most frustrating because goddammit Tony you learn the wrong lesson from it

basically one of his armours becomes sentient and decides to be Tony's boyfriend. It becomes super jealous of Rumiko and kidnaps Tony to a remote island because that's its idea of a romantic getaway

FUN FACT: THE ARMOUR LEARNT IT'S IDEAS OF LOVE BY WATCHING TONY INTERACT WITH RUMIKO

[langsyne]

...............omfg that is like the greatest thing ever WHY AM I AT WORK AND UNABLE TO READ THIS RIGHT NOW CURSE YOU WORLD

[exanimated]

I FORGOT TO MENTION HE'S ALSO GOT THIS BANDAID ON HIS NOSE THE WHOLE TIME BECAUSE HE BROKE HIS NOSE AFTER TRYING TO DEFEND HIS GIRLFRIEND FROM A PAPARAZZI AND THEY DECKED HIM IN THE FACE AND SHE HAD TO PUNCH THE GUY FOR HIM
