Ask Elly Anything


a bad post

Recommended Posts

I like knowing what people think of me, so what do you think of me.

I think you're a cool dude, but I don't know you as much as I'd like to, especially since we're both art hoes

You're hard to get a read on, and I honestly don't know how I feel about you, but from what I can tell you seem like a really funny to person to hang around

I enjoy rping with you.  Do you think Alive could've progressed differently?  Also, are there some other things about Mia you'd like me to explore?  And if there was anything about her design you could change, what would it be?

Whatchu think of me fam? RP-wise and personally.

You're super fun to talk to, and I think you're a super fun person to hang around. Tbh, I really wished we talked more outside of just RPing contexts cause I'd really like to get know you better as a friend. I really enjoy RPing with you, because of how much of my antics you put up with, plus I always have fun with the stuff you come up with. Honestly, my only complaint with you RP wise is that they tend to move rather slowly, but it's really not always your fault, and I have some of the same issues too, so I'm not really one to criticize.

I enjoy RPing with you as well. Like goddamn, your characters always exude coolness, and they always just seem so lively and fun. I'd really love to be friends with you outside of the RPing sense as well. You seem like a super hype dude.

 

I do think near the beginning things moved a bit too quickly, and the survivors were taking down Majin Lords a bit too quickly and a bit too easily, but I feel that the story has really come into its own the more you've developed it. The story is so hyped now, and I just love reading it, like I said in the thread I get so happy whenever you post an update, and it's one of the only pieces of online writing (fanfic and original) that I keep coming back to to read on a regular basis

 

Something I'd really love for you to explore is Mia's identity as an intersex person and her struggle with balancing her feminity with her masculinity. I'd also love to see the development of her relationships with other survivors individually more. Like she hangs out with female survivors in general, but I'd really love to see her interact with the survivors one on one more like in the Ten Flags scenes. 

 

Honestly, if I could re-write her I'd want to make her less idk, like pathetic. Looking back she just seems like a melodramatic debbie downer, and I really don't think I developed her as well I should have. Honestly, I feel like if I wanted to stick with the emotionless broad personality deadpan snarker would've fit her much better, but even that I don't think really would've fit her. I think honestly I should've given her like a party b**** attitude, and that would've been a better fit for the way she would've tried to invent herself.

This is something I would like to touch on, if I may.

 

Because I've never been in an intersex person's shoes, it's hard for me to try to really break into that character and express them well.  I feel like, if I do it wrong, I could really damage not only the character, but I could harm a community or someone who may really identify with Mia.  That was why I slowly took the turn to referring to Mia as 'she', because it was the only thing I knew how to do.

 

And I feel badly about it.  I feel like I should be able to understand her situation, but I don't.  And I'm so afraid of trying to do something on that powerful of a level, that I'm just not sure how to go about it.  Which is all the more reason I'm so sad that Alive didn't continue.  Because I know Mia was such a valued, and important character, simply by design.  And her struggle with her masculinity and her femininity is so important to her as a character.  But I'm not sure how to tackle the issue, because it's unfamiliar to me.

 

As for the rest, I have to agree with you.  I want to explore more one on one relationships between the survivors.  And not just Mia.  With everyone.  I feel like Mia's relationship with Destiny and Christina is strong enough, but I should explore Mia and Riku, Mia and Amaris, Christina and Leroy, and so much more.  

 

Sorry for blabbing.  I put my heart and soul into that fic now, and I wouldn't have gotten so far without it's cast and crew.  Your feedback--I can't express it enough--is so important to me.  I don't want let you down.

 

Oh, and do you think Alive would've taken a different direction if it were still . . .well, alive?

What do you think of me as an RPer, and by extension what do you think of my characters? (As a bonus if you have a favorite, which of my characters is your favorite?)

 

What do you think of me as a member/as a person in general?

 

Shamelessly copypasta aside...

 

Favorite villain song?

 

What is your opinion on yuri?

 

Given your current name, you must have a favorite meme? Which one is it?

 

Why do I feel like you're a much rarer sight in the RP section than other RPers?

 

Also this one's not a question but I forgot to mention this in my AMA when you asked opinions. You've got easily one of my favorite sigs on YCM.

I love RPing with you cause I think not only are you a good RPer, but I feel like you really get me memeing with my characters. Plus your characters are always fun, and while your characters do tend to fall into the loli archetype, I think you do a generally good job of diversifying their personalities. Honestly, in recent memory, my favorite character of yours is probably Dayna from Demon Blood because I felt she was really outside of your comfort zone, even though she did technically fall into the loli archetype. That being said I don't think I'm really familiar enough with your characters to pick a clear and away favorite. 

 

As a person I think you're super fun, and I feel we'd get along really well if we spoke more outside just RP chats. Plus you're just super fun to meme with, and I think we have very similar interests.

 

Favorite villain song if you mean Disney it's this one (even though it never actually made it into the movie)

If you mean boss theme from a game, it's probably this one

or this one

I feel like both songs just have so much emotion in connection with the characters they represent

 

As a girl who likes girls I really like yuri, even though some of the time I feel like it's really demeaning to actual lesbians and just kind of fetishizes, so I'm always kinda searching for good ones. Because of this I tend to prefer shoujo ai over straight up yuri.

 

I'm not sure I really have a favorite meme because I just love the off the wall nonsensical silliness that memes present as a form of humor. If I had to pick a favorite it would probably the one where the kid's like if it were not for the laws of this land I would have slaughtered you. I just thinks it's too funny for some reason.

 

Honestly, it's probably because I'm really selective about what RPs I join. Plus sometimes when I find RPs I actually want to join they'll be full by the time I notice them so I won't get in time.  Also I'm just busy af with animation stuff, which is both really fun, but also a tiny bit unfortunate.

 

Oh, and thank you. You're sigs never cease to amuse me, plus they're always changing so I always get a fun surprise when I go into threads you've posted in

Oh, and do you think Alive would've taken a different direction if it were still . . .well, alive?

I can definitely respect that, but if you do feel you want to go down that road I can definitely help you out, plus I can link you to a bunch of resources I have about writing intersex characters. That being said I really can't sing praises enough for this story. Like every minute of it is so enjoyable, and honestly it's fight scenes are so hype. I really look forward to see where you go forward with it.

 

I do think Alive would've gone in a different if it had stayed as an RP rather than becoming a story, because with Alive as a story it's mostly just you, but with an RP it's a bunch of different people together collaborating, so even if the plot had remained relatively the same I think the interactions and character developments would've been vastly different. Like I said though, I think that that's just the nature of RPs and collaborative writing in general.

I was not aware Yzma ever had a villain song :O

 

What kinds of animation stuff do you do?

Honestly, it depends on how much time I have to get it done, but I really love doing frame by frame if possible, even though it takes gobs of time, but honestly (imo) if you do it right frame by frame always looks cleaner and flows better.

 

 

What is your most cherished memory?

Honestly, I really don't have one. It's kinda something that really bothers me, but I really struggle to feel really passionate about anything. Like there are certain things that I really enjoy doing, and I guess I could say there are things I'm very passionate about, but most of the time I feel like I'm a passenger in my own life. Idk most of the time I just feel like I'm really passive when I shouldn't be sometimes.

 

 

what do you cherish most? give me the pleasure of taking it away

If I had to say quiet time alone to play games, read, or sketch. Like I love interacting with people, but if I'm being honest with myself I'm a fake extrovert and most of the time I feel really exhausted after spending a lot of time around people. Plus the stillness (I really don't know how else to describe the feeling) of being alone in a (mostly) silent room just feels so timeless. Like even though I'm conscious of the fact that time is still progressing it feels like I've secluded myself in my own personal space and nothing can disturb it. Honestly it feels best when I don't have anything breathing down my back.

 

 

You're dope from what I've seen, why don't I know you? 

 

because Elly is a precious commodity, hoarded by the rich

In all seriousness, though, I think it's just because we run in different circles. I mostly stick to RP, and from what I can tell you mostly stick to CC, which honestly I've really wanted to go there, but I've always felt super intimidated by the section and my own sense of inadequacy as an artist. Though honestly, I'd really love to talk to you more, cause like I said with Tormey we're both art hoes, plus you guys seem like pretty dope dudes yourselves.

No, but you didn't hear it from me

 

 

Huh, I've done sprite work a little before, so I guess I could give it a try again

 

We'd love to have you participate my man. 

 

Take a look at the https://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/349280-graphic-resources-dropbox/ thread, contains a bunch of resources if you are actually interested, even has some nice tutorials. Including Night's pokemon splicing one.

I love me some resources so I will definitely check this out

 

What are your current short term goals?

 

And if alive becomes a comic, will I have your blessing as one of the content creators, to publish it?

Finishing my two jabroni ass CIV papers. In a more serious note irl I want to make sure I have job for the summer. Online wise I want to start setting up commissions and selling merch on my tumblr for a little extra change

 

 

Would you rather sleep on a bed of rats or sleep with a bed-sized rat?
