So this journal was basically an exact copy of ~snezana over at GJ and I've realized that I actually needed some change. Not a massive overhaul, but enough of one so things feel a little more fresh. I've set up new shop, this time at IJ since the # of games at Scribbld and LJ respectively is v. low and, well, all of my own games are over there anyway. I've friends-locked all the old icon entries here and won't be accepting any new friends since this journal is officially defunct as both a CDJ and icon journal.

If you've been following me here and would like to continue to, please add me and comment at (please do comment, because it's supposed to be a demonstration that you've read and understood the rules, considering the trouble I've had with people NOT doing so):

PIGALLE @ IJ
And for CDJ purposes, if you were added here and haven't added me there already, I am thouvenin.

Yes, I did take down a few more icon batches in the move--sorry! Icons that are over a year old just make me cringe something awful. Anyway, there are a few glitches yet, I'm sure, like links pointing to the wrong thing, but I'll fix them as I see them and pretty things up a bit more. Thanks for bearing with me!

IF SOMETHING IS MARKED AS "DO NOT TAKE", DO NOT TAKE IT.

Likewise, DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING FROM MY USERINFOS, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT ASKING. It's incredibly rude to both completely ignore a very conspicuous request like "don't take" under every icon and to not even bother contacting me to get permission in case I'd allow it. I really don't know how much clearer I can be, and I am absolutely fucking sick to death of people going through either my personal journals or character journals and taking things. PLEASE learn some e-manners, and common sense dictates that people are far more likely to allow you to have something if you ask nicely rather than just going ahead and seizing. If I make something to share, it's going to be in an icon post on this journal--I don't think respecting my desire to keep some things for my own personal use is an unreasonable demand. I realize I can't actually do anything about it, but it still makes you look like an asshat.

I found a really neat survey, so I thought I'd try and kick start this community again, because I love reading your surveys!

( survey: three things )

Okay, maybe a tad dramatic but still. I've never been in a game as long as VP before. I will miss it like mad! So many memories and almost of the them good! I have my regrets, mostly related to participation. I feel like I'll never get to play some of these characters again, due to the uniqueness of VP and that's probably what I'll miss most. Another huge thing is the camaraderie. I have no games right now, and although I don't have much time to chat and/or RP during the week, it was always nice to know I could drop in chat whenever I needed some social interaction.

I was considering taking a break from RP but if anyone has any suggestions for a game you think I'd like, please do tell!

Okay, I am going to go cry for a bit now.

This song's been in my head as applicable to UC, so I thought I'd post it up and share some of the somewhat fitting lyrics with all you lovely people!

Pulp - The Day after the Revolution.

A revolution happened.
Oh, sorry, you haven't heard?
We are the children of the new world.
If you're quiet you can watch if you like.
They say the future's beginning tonight.
Whole empires will crumble.
Civilisations will fall.

( I am... )

so i finally went on an epic jlu marathon today.

how did i not watch this before? HOW. batman singing oh my sweet jesus. am i blue. i think i nearly peed myself. ALSO ELENA, LIGHT OF MY LIFE, FIRE IN MY LOINS ETC ETC I SAW FIRE AND ICE IN THE OPENING EPISODE AND MY HAPPINESS KNEW NO BOUNDS.

Pick one or more of my characters and one or more of yours, and I'll tell you something they've always wanted to say to your character but could never bring themselves to say out loud.

I'm going to repost this because I realised I should have put a little more thought into the phrasing. Anyway, we've all seen the parent meme that connie came up with and it was suggested that we do it for UC! But I think instead of looking at it as a meme we should look at it as a question instead! So...tell us about your character's parents! PBs are still optional and feel free to be as detailed or brief as you like. (For reference this was our last question asked.)

UGH UGH GOD I AM SUPPOSED TO BE WRITING A PAPER UGH GOD I HATE YOU ALL.

Pick one or more of my characters and one or more of yours, and I'll tell you something they've always wanted to say to your character but could never bring themselves to say out loud.

Why, hello again, Scribbld. It is good to see we've come to some sort of arrangement.


(...I'll probably still use my IJ more. :|)

( teddy's ipod meme! )

Sorry about all of the entries on your friend's page. That was me. And since they kind of got buried...HERE is the iPod survey and HERE is the survey that Kate posted!

( The iPod Meme: Navin Finnigan ) 

Hey guys! Last night, Yas and I compiled a new meme for the comm. We actually have quite a few ideas, so look for more in the coming weeks. As always, there's no obligation! This one's a little intensive, so if you want to post your playlists in chunks over the next little while, that's cool. Do what you will! If you want to add a playlist, maybe about a person or what have you, go for it!

Just a general reminder: try and comment to other peoples' posts! This comm is just as much about character development as it is about getting to develop relationships between players and characters!

And a quick question: would you guys like us to attempt to migrate entries over here? I don't know how possible it is, but let me know if you'd like us to do something along those lines. Happy memeing!

THE IPOD MEME

( MORE... )

i keep starting and scrapping that future vp meme, as i can't decide about mona.

ALSO: CONNIE, CONNIE, CONNIE OR OTHERS IDK. i feel you would be the ~expert~ on this. elena's been oh so subtly hinting and linking me to metrotower (the bats/toaster/kitchen fire thread? almost killed me); but do you know where i could watch jlu online, BY ANY CHANCE?

Damn. Brad Renfro and now Heath Ledger. What in the holy hell is happening here?!

Hey you guys, it's Kate!  I've had some trouble getting myself going here, but my scribbld account seems to be functional now. :)  As you can see, I'm ~rubytuesday here.  So uh...add me.  And tell me who you guys are, so I can add you back.  

...and I guess that's it, except to say that once unconquered gets going, I'll be playing Navin Finnigan there.  So...yeah.  Backstory is good.  Friends, past girlfriends, stuff like that...it would be nice.  So please, please, please, comment here or email me or IM me or something.

Scribbld loads REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY painfully slow for me, so I'm sorry I don't update more. :/

Anyway, here's how my kids are handling Dumbledore's death over at VP:

( BLAH BLAH BLAH. )

stolen from many!

mona and demelza and their current states of mind.

DEMELZA: she's just pissed off, really. fucking slytherins. l mean COME ON, how stupid do people have to be NOT to expect a slytherin at the bottom of this? an elitist, bitchy mother's boy pulls out a gun and shoots the former headmaster who loved the poor. WHERE IS THE SHOCK THERE? yeah, she's gotten over her initial freaking out over it all, and being the type not to think long terms, hasn't even BEGUN to consider the repercussions for scholarship students this could have with Dumbledore completely out of the picture. Though she is kind of bummed that Harry probably WON'T be playing cricket this year, then.

MONA: she's fairly devestated, to be honest. Not about Dumbledore's death, because the man was past his prime, elderly, and this did natural selection a favor; but she's TRAUMATIZED over the public reaction/media attention/student devastation as it came under HER WATCH, and slytherin is going to get scapegoated for all of it. she's not an idiot, and KNOWS a slytherin head position is a fair rarity, and having the house falling apart under her direct watch with the draco implications is traumatizing her. she's trying to follow samantha's lead and be comforting to the younger students etc etc, and also bit the bullet and gave blaise her sympathy; but she's far better at giving orders and maintaining discipline than she is at providing the tact this sort of situation handles. i imagine she's publicly going to keep all image of being head girl up well, though friends may note her slipping away every ten minutes or so to eat out her worries on processed sugar. they might also note any sweets around the common room/dorms have mysteriously disapperared, only to make their way into her trunk.

Oh hai! since this is where most of the VP people are, I need your help! I meet Alice in EIGHT DAYS in Sydney when we will (likely) get rollickingly wasted. I told her long ago that when we met I would give my ~very best~ Mona Mumps impressions. Since I am no longer in VP and have not been privy to some of the comic gold that this character has lately afforded I NEED YOUR HELP. Please link me to some fantabulousness, plz.

I don't really know how much I'm going to use this. All my other games moved to InsaneJournal, and Scribbld.net has never worked very well for me. I'm going to try and keep it as updated as I can, though my icon journal will be over there so if anyone wants to be affiliates... I'm down with it.

I can't believe how smoothly Euphoria Lane's move was. We had a tonne of volunteers who helped me move things, and I really couldn't have been more grateful. It also looks like I posed the question of moving just in time. Kind of funny how that happened.

And now I am UTTERLY STARVING. Thank GOD it's payday!

( APPLICATION FOR CASTOR WITHERS. )

OMG SCRIBBLED IS WORKING. IT'S LIKE ~MAGIC~ SOMEONE UPDATE ME ON THINGS.

(NO, I HAVEN'T CHECKED IT IN LIKE TWO WEEKS. WHATEVER.)

I'M GETTING MY VP SHIT SET UP THIS WEEK, FOOLS. I NEED TO GO REDO MY PP ICONS.

ALSO, FOR SOME REASON, EVERYTHING APPEARS TINY IN THE HTML POSTING TEMPLATE HERE. SO AN ENTIRE ENTRY IN CAPSLOCK? DOES NOT LOOK NEARLY AS RIDIC AS IT DOES OTHER PLACES.

Holy God, why is the text in the HTML update area so fricking small?

Ballyknock: the last great bastion of friendly neighbourhood camaraderie! Though a Wizarding Village since 1327, this Irish settlement has always maintained a level of friendly community that survived even their slight population boom in 2015. Seeming to belong to another time, Ballyknock maintains and supplies the rest of the Wizarding World with magical fauna, flora, bird and beast. It's the perfect place to get to know your neighbour, so pull up a barstool, grab a pint, and introduce yourself (and your characters) in unconquered's storyline community!

For your own reference, here is a list of the intentions and very loose guidelines of ballyknock!

THE PURPOSE 1) In-character weekly questions. These will be posed by the mods and are to be answered by your characters. There's no obligation, but it'll keep creativity flowing.
2) Surveys! Players can post various surveys filled out or empty for other members to use as they will.
3) Storyline pleas! Do you need a cousin? Friend? Enemy? FRIENEMY? Request that here!
4) Backstory, in the form of logs or simple recountings. Did your kid have an embarassing moment in third year everyone would remember? Share it!

Remember: you're not obligated to respond to our weekly questions, and you certainly don't have to feel limited by them. This is almost a completely unmoderated community, so don't worry about rules. As long as you keep it respectful, anything goes!

I'm not sure where I found this survey, but I really liked the questions, so I thought I'd share. Plus, who doesn't enjoy making the first (non-migrated) post in a community?? Enjoy!

Past What did your parents want to name you: What day were you born on: What month were you born in: What year were you born: So what is your birthday: What is your favorite memory: What was your favorite vacation took: Who is your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend: What happened to cause the break up: What did you do yesterday: What was the funniest thing to happen yesterday: When was the last time you saw your mom: When was the last time you saw your dad: Who was the last text recieved from: Who last called you: Who did you last send an owl to: Who did you last call: Would you change the past if you could: Present What is your name: What is your current age: What was the funniest thing about today: What did you do today: Where did you hang out today: Who did you hang out with today: What did you you think when you woke up today: Did you get mad at anything today: Do you wish you could have done something that you didn't today: What was your favorite thing about today: Who are you currently dating: How is your current relationship with them: Are you currently happy with life: Future What is a goal you have set for this week: What career do you want to have: What do you plan to do tomorrow: Are you excited for tomorrow: Are you dreading tomorrow: What are you going to have for breakfast: Do you plan to break up with your significant other: What is the next event you are excited for: Do you want to get married: And if so, to who: How many kids do you want to have: Do you have big dreams for yourself:
