Questions Meme
This is a meme in which you TALK FOREVER. How it goes:
1. Make a thread for yourself in this post, listing the characters you play and your own name.
2. Go find someone's thread to jump and ask them A QUESTION. The question can be anything, RP related is common, of course, but not necessary. Who do you want to app most? What does Character A think about Character B? What's your favorite flavor of icecream?
3. Answer all questions asked of you! Once you have answered, end your response with a question for the person who first questioned you. This is important to keep the discussion going and going.
4. This goes back and forth indefinitely until someone gets tired and can't reply anymore.
5. Have a lot of fun! ♥
This game is a fun way to get to talk to people, headcanon, and learn things you didn't know before! Because it involves gives and take, it can go quite a while and everyone can participate and possibly make friends.
Here is an example.

oh my god uh. ok, when i was twelve, i got my first REAL console, my ps2. when i was shopping around for games, i didn't want to get a game that would scare off my (REALLY CONSERVATIVE) parents, but i also wanted to get a game that i was genuinely interested in playing that still had all of the pretty animes i wanted to see on the tv. so i got kh a month or so after it came out! and, uh. i sort of got the game two weeks before i actually got my system? so i reread the manual over and over again until i was so hyped to play that i played it for 7 hours straight when i first got the console. and that was a month before i got a memory card. so, uh, i got REALLY REALLY GOOD at the first three hours of kh. i still am! and that is my dumbshit love story with kh.
what's the main personality difference between regular danny and ste danny? are there any parts of his ste history or personality that you're really proud of?
no subject
UHHH but yes. The main difference is that StE!Danny is closer to early canon Danny than he is to Danny from the actual canon point he's taken from. StE!Danny is timid, awkward, unsure of himself, and lacks a great deal of confidence. He's always trying not to step on any toes and just wants to please everyone and keep things peaceful. The more everyone gets along, the more he can just keep his head down and stay out of trouble. If he ever does want or need to express something that could get him into trouble--like calling someone an asshole--he'll do it at home, muttering it under his breath while playing video games, because that is a safe situation to do that in. (canon Danny evolves way past this after a while and just doesn't give a fuck any more. He does what he wants, fuq da police.)
As for history I'm proud of...definitely the conspiracy theorist shtick. Not only is it fun to play, but I completely accidentally made a perfect parallel between his life as a ghost living with ghost hunters and his life as being involved in a conspiracy living with conspiracy theorists! Also, like two months after I apped him I realized that the Fentons are canonically conspiracy loonies. I did not even do that on purpose.
So what was the idea or uh. ~inspiration~ going from boy scout Sora to douchebag Skyler?
no subject
(you can do it danny! be more confident! yeah!!! and the parallel is really cool, i agree UuU)
Hmm... the reason why I wanted to do it is solely because I wanted to play Sora, but different. That's my only justification for changing him, tbh! As for the nature of the change itself... I was actually drawing a lot of inspiration from Sora's character arc from CoM and kind of from the first KH! If I wanted to play Skyler as the same kind of person Sora is as of current canon, he would have just moved to Locke City as an army brat who went to a lot of international schools and would be looking forward to another move in a year. Skyler's a proto-Sora from pre-KH with a decided lack of good friends. Sora's not all that complicated of a character, but the fact that he probably would have been a complete nobody from podunk nowhere if the Islands hadn't been destroyed is compounded upon again and again in the series. I'm just doing a variation on the theme, if you know what I mean!
I have kind of a long explanation for how I formulated Skyler, but uh... Basically, Sora isn't awesome! But his unlikely life made up of coincidences, being in the right place at the right time, having a particularly weird variation of non-life-threatening disassociation, and sheer luck made him awesome. If you took the same base person that Sora used to be - timid, simple, bland, kind of weak and suggestible, in love with his friends but also with being subpar, and with no real ambitions or goals or desire to have them - and gave him TERRIBLE FUCKING FRIENDS and a mildly neglectful home life, you get Skyler. uou It was kind of a no brainer after that.
Are there any castmates you'd really like for Danny or Jovan? Name me some and tell me why!
