Oh sure, not to randomly shit on Stuart Townsend! I was just annoyed to come back and discover that they’d really casually just let someone use all my hard work without permission or even credit and that they weren’t even gonna use the obvious inspiration for the guy! I mean C’MON

If you’re the misery loves company type…

On the White Wolf mods, there was once a player who ripped off pretty much my entire wiki. And I don’t just mean the formatting and the CSS. I mean they also swiped my graphics and the bulk of my writing, except with their name, splat types, and PB pics swapped in.

The thing is, the sizing of their pictures didn’t work with the way I had everything formatted, so their entire wiki page was pretty much just “Aria’s Wiki Page But Shittier” and I was not nice enough to fix it for them when they couldn’t figure it out. I would’ve been if they had asked me first or had even asked for my help nicely afterwards. But nope. They asked me to help them after they took it and their attitude was that I should be flattered instead of annoyed that they used my work, messed it up, and now expected me to correct it for them.

The only change the dude made was the PB, to fucking Stuart Townsend. I’m still scoffing in disgust like fifteen years later.

As you should be. Stuart Townsend is fine, but he is not a substitute for the gloriousness that is Eugene Hutz.

As silly as the premise sounds, I actually remember being pretty proud of the work I put into him! I spent a lot of time researching the Roma around the time of like WWI I think it was, and had fun adding tons of detail into the vampires that snatched him away from his life and their zany adventures across the century.

The head staffer must’ve thought so too, because she basically made the character a “roster” and let a buddy of hers just copy and paste the entire background without asking after I’d idled out, lllloooooolll. The only change the dude made was the PB, to fucking Stuart Townsend. I’m still scoffing in disgust like fifteen years later.

basically Eugene Hutz as a Twilight vampire

I need to hear more about this masterpiece, please.

a Lion King panther with a huge, bulging demon-possessed eye

That isn’t how I expected that sentence fragment to end.

Just know that if you are ever feeling too embarrassed about your past rp, you can always have a good chuckle over the fact that in the course of my illustrious RPing career, I played (in no particular order):

• a Lion King panther with a huge, bulging demon-possessed eye that not only blatantly broke the thin rules of that game, he was desced so badly I found it like ten years later on a website dedicated to hilariously bad descs
• a catboy Gundam pilot on that beautiful fever dream once known as Yahoo Chat
• a blatant Silver Surfer ripoff called the Golden Surfer (ugggghhhhhh) who regularly hung out with the Power Rangers
• Jecht from Final Fantasy X, who became involved in an incredibly melodramatic relationship with Beatrix from FFIX where they spent days in bed talking about all the people they murdered
• a literal slimy ball of tentacles and SHAME
• basically Eugene Hutz as a Twilight vampire

You mean FLIT spying.

Ew. Stop.

But I also wrote journals in Neverwinter Nights and while those save files are long gone I look back fondly on the rper impulse to “storify” an rpg.

I’ve been bullying my stepmother into playing Mass Effect and watching her make choices based on how she is developing her character in her head is so cute.

There are many other poses that competed, but this won because no one else was there at the time.

The joke was great

But also terrible.

All of my old rp is terrible. I can’t read anything from before the vague indeterminate category of “now” without suffering like I’m watching The Office.

Edit: but actually I agree now that you have actually posted it, it’s not bad. What was not good was Percival’s obnoxious email voice. I legit wanted to go back in time and take the keyboard from myself.
