OOC: Infopost

[mother_forker]

Hello Fandom! How've you been? Good? Crazy? Wacky events making your lives miserable? Good to see the switch to Dreamwidth hasn't changed anything.



Crapdoodles. I had to use rich text in order to do this. I must be getting old. Anyway:

Eleanor Shellstrop:
 

Eleanor is from the comedy called The Good Place. The show started where she died and went to the afterlife whereupon a bunch of stuff happened that involved ethic lessons, lies and hijinx. Want to know more? Ask your friends. Or watch the show. There's three seasons and final fourth about to happen so there's a lot to unpack. Let me give you the abbreviated infopost with gifs just for fun.

Eleanor is rude, self-centered, selfish and mean.

:

Then she died while trying to pick up a bottle of margarita mix. She got smashed by a bunch of shopping carts and then got run over by a truck advertising a drug for erectile dysfunction.

 

And that's just the beginning of her story in the afterlife. If you haven't seen the show, I'll stop here as there are spoilers.

For RP purposes, Eleanor will be coming to Fandom in her junior year a couple of years  after she legally emancipated herself from her parents. Kind of. I have ideas regarding a certain demon and a robot who are messing with her time line.



Um. Girl?



Um. We'll get around to Janet eventually.
 

Once upon a time I was just a teenaged assassin in a relationship with an emo redhead. I was also a mutant with a multiple personality problem. I was also a teenaged klingon with anger issues. I was also a teenaged genius who swore like a sailor. And an FBI agent obsessed with coffee. I was also... a lot of characters. Too many for me to remember because I'm old as fork.

So hi, I'm Steve. It's been a while. Been through a lot of changes in the last couple of years but I'm all good. As a result of a recent move to another part of the Eastern Time Zone, I get to work from home. As a result I thought I'd give this whole Fandom thing another spin.

So I'm not hooked up with chat or discord but if you want me I'll be checking email regularly. Drop a line, say hello and let me know how you are doing. Would love to know what you guys are up to.

And just because it's fun, I'm going to make you old timers feel really old. You ready?

My oldest daughter? Born the year this game started? She starts high school today.

Yep. Little "Heart Pine Tree" is going to drive in two years. And "Squee" just started middle school today.

Everyone is taking a multi-vitamin these days, right? Getting a good amount of fiber? Lots of calcium?

Yes. You're old now. Welcome to my world.

That's all I got. Questions? Comments? Concerns? Memes?

STEEEEEEEEVE.

... Ohmygosh the tinies have gotten so big, how did that happen? WELCOME BACK. (Hello this is Shannon STEVE I HAVE MISSED YOU.)

[chirpchirpchirp]

Also-also if you want to come join us nerds in the Discord equivalent of Buttery Chat, we've got a channel over here! Feel free to come say hi sometime!

[mother_forker]

Thanks for the Discord hookup! I have missed you so much as well!

[thishouseishaunted]

So in the friending process I looked at Eleanor's profile and actually gasped "IT'S A GUM!"

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! And your little ones being much less little would shock me more except my book club just got a new member who is literally 20 years younger than I am. So I was already old. :P

[spin_kick_snap]

I also did this! I was like "OH MY GOD, GUM IS BAAAACK!!" and Shaughn was very confused about why I was excited about chewing gum.

[spin_kick_snap]

WELCOME BACK, YOU WERE MUCH MISSED!!!

[mother_forker]

And I was likewise thrilled to see Eleanor ‘s LSD buddy was done by a Bella! Hello!

[mother_forker]

Thank you! I missed you as well!

AND THE LAST TIME I SAW RHIS ACCOUNT SHE WAS A ZOMBIE! I assume she got better?

[thishouseishaunted]

Hey, I gotta have at least one crackish character, ya know? ;D

[spin_kick_snap]

Yup! There was a wish involved which made things easier!

Also, she took over Barry's warehouse, BUT SHE WILL GIVE IT BACK IF YOU HAVE PLANS FOR IT!

[mother_forker]

Also I see you and Shanie are playing CR characters all of whom I adore and can’t wait to see in the game!

I currently have two D&D tables I’m running based on the Tal’Dorei campaign book and I’m on my third trip through campaign one via podcast. Ten more episodes and then I restart campaign two!

I might be a tad obsessed.

[mother_forker]

But do any of them make lobster noises?

[chirpchirpchirp]

It's VERY EASY TO OBSESS OVER.

So easy that we have a dedicated channel for it in the FH Discord, because we're dweebs. :D

[mother_forker]

I briefly considered having Barry as a teacher but I only know made up science not real science.

Plus he’d probably get kicked out once he turns the students into velociraptors and lets them loose in the school.

[mother_forker]

I KNOW!

Last week I got emotional listening to the twitch replay! Sooooo good!

[thishouseishaunted]

Mae would if you asked her! Though probably a different interpretation than Nadia's.

Duke would be very confused as to why anyone thinks lobsters make noise.

[thishouseishaunted]

. . . Neither of these things seem like valid reasons not to have him teach at Fandom, to me.

[chirpchirpchirp]

I have so many Fjord feelings please stay tuned for my TED Talk about Half-Orcs with Self-Esteem Issues...

[spin_kick_snap]

I will pay you to make this happen and offer up my new girl onto the altar of velociraptorism.

Kathy: YOUR ETHICS COMMITTEE WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT TURNING STUDENTS INTO DINOSAURS IS --

Every student ever: THE COOLEST THING POSSIBLE!

Kathy: *sighs*

[mother_forker]

Well, I thought it may be wise to ease my way into Fandom before I end up with 20 characters and lack of sleep!

[spin_kick_snap]

Sure sure.

...That's what next semester is for.

[mother_forker]

I would watch that Ted Talk and recap it for the internet dressed as Dani.

Not Bryan Foster. I couldn’t handle the cabbage smell.

[chirpchirpchirp]

And really, Dani's fashion choices are ON POINT.

[uncertain_dume]

I mean I'm just saying with those Frozen 2 trailers coming out I'm starting to get the Elsa itch again...

[mother_forker]

I really wish there was a way to fist bump you right now.

[mother_forker]

I’ve been accepted back less than 24 hours and I’m getting my arm twisted for Barry.

Seriously, I love you all.

And on a sad note? My daughters are now too cool to watch Frozen 2. And I want to go!

[chirpchirpchirp]

[chirpchirpchirp]

But... BUT IT LOOKS SO BADASS.

I mean, I'll be that grown adult dork going to see it with no kids in sight, myself. But at least I get to plead 'animator.'

[1000yearstoolate]

Welcome back! :D

[mother_forker]

Thank you!

[mother_forker]

In my case, bribes may have to be made.

[chirpchirpchirp]

What's the hep new thing the youngins accept as bribe material these days, anyway?

[mother_forker]

Heh. Cold hard cash. Or trips to buy them stuff.

[uncertain_dume]

Ah, the classics never fail. :D

[mother_forker]

And I just realized if you ever did re-app Elsa, I have your sister right here for AU weekends. God damn it. I'm going to have to app Barry, aren't I?

[uncertain_dume]

I'm PRETTY SURE we're about to enter into an unholy pact, Steve. :D

I wanna at least wait until the movie release in November because god knows I'll get Jossed ten ways to Sunday otherwise, but my laugh, it is an evil laugh.

[mother_forker]

Ah the benefits of having a closed fandom is so nice sometimes.

Yeah, I’m not thinking of anything until the new app period at this point.

[uncertain_dume]

So many of my closed Fandoms have stopped BEING closed since I apped that I've given up so hard I'm playing from a canon that gives me four new hours to work with every week. :D I've lost my mind.

But yeah, that makes sense. Get back into the swing of things, dust off your old spot on the couch!
