my first journal was SINA my history before that was entirely on Furcadia from about 2002 to 20...13? I played only OCs there too.
in a highly dramatic Harry Potter game to start with (although I met
ragweed at a Weiß Kreuz RP and had no idea what it was or what was going on and she thought I was annoying)
and then for many years in an ADMITTEDLY FURRY little village RP where I played the extremely not okay night watchman and some other guys. Benedict and Teren both originated there
I stopped cold turkey when I went insane in grad school
the deep cut is that before all that my very VERY first RP was on an e-wrestling forum run by college kids where we all played cartoon characters. who. e-wrestled. I was the champion for a while at the tender age of 13 or 14 or something. my character was a cat girl who I did not realize would have been a sex symbol from anyone else
I desperately want a drawing of kiki.
good point. I'll see what I can find
unfortunately most of my old analog art is ??? maybe at my mom's house, I'm trying to scrape my ancient internet presences but the old gallery I used is gone
every month you get matched up with an opponent
you and your opponent both write three little stories that explain how you're training for the fight, what's your gimmick this time, maybe you talk a little trash like a tv promo (which I didn't find out until actually watching wrestling well into my twenties)
then someone gets assigned to write your fightthis can be anyone who volunteered to help, I did it a bunch and they write two endings, with a win for each character, and the mods go through what you wrote and pick who the winner is
and all the fights get posted in one big digest so eveyrone kinda reads it together like it's live tv
I would STRESS about this
I was one of three or so thirteen year olds and everyone else was in college lmao. we were the babies
I'm still friends with the mods, one of them messaged me when I turned thirty like 'I remember when you wouldn't cuss because you were a child and very christian'
this is so much more organized than I expected
it was really cool honestly!! it was a formative experience
i did some weiss kreuz rp back in the day. my internet friends at the time got obsessed w it so i was unwillingly dragged in
I still have never seen it and only know the characters names bc people played them
they didn’t have it at our local video store. tough luck
oh my god e-wrestling this is fascinating
breaking in the new computer with an old old girl
I was just gonna do a sketch but I felt the colors were important
the absolute pinnacle of what I thought was cool as a 13 year old
