THE QUESTIONS MEME

A first big 'n successful round of apps has concluded and the game is getting off to a roll - since there are always brains to be picked and new pals and acquaintances to be made, how's about we all play a little getting-to-know-you game?

HOW TO PLAY:
• Leave a comment below with your name and the characters who you play.
• Respond to others' comments with questions - they can be about their characters, their current in-game plans or things they'd like to play, their CR, RP in general, their canons and fandoms, or most anything else.
• Answer questions you've received! Keep it short or TL;DR to your heart's content, depending on how much you have or are in the mood to say!
• After each answer you give, ask a question back to the person who answered you. Keep the thread of questioning up for as long as both parties are game!
• Go for it - make friends, make new plans, make anything you like!

Just the trash gremlin himself, Klaus Hargreeves (garb4ge)!

[notblayde]

/chinhands

if you HAD to choose, which of the hargreeve kid powers would you like to have irl?

[garb4ge]

Since you said HAD to (because honestly, the answer is FUCK NO) ... I actually have to say Luther, because I have made no fewer than a hundred jokes about how much I'd like to be a super strong, fucking huge dude.

[notblayde]

LMAO YEAH the sane answer is "abstain, thanks"

I think Luther or Diego are like... the safest answers though, all baggage aside. being a big fuckoff bastard or throwing knives... 👌

[garb4ge]

I mean, I've already got the daddy issues covered

So I'm an honorary Hargreeves in that regard!

[garb4ge]

And since I can totally read: what is your favorite Saint's Row weapon? 'cause I know there are some excellent ones.

[notblayde]

honestly? probably the MOST boring option: the baseball bat. there's just something REALLY satisfying about running up on a dude and cracking into him with a bat.

other than that, the dubstep gun is really, really fun.

[garb4ge]

That fucking dubstep gun

Like I don't even go here, but I've watched enough people play Saint's Row that I know about it.

/fingerguns

[notblayde]

N O D S

it is pretty emblematic of the series at the point also rip i forgot to ask another question LMAO we are both apparently bad at this

UH LETS SEE

what sort of experience/event/thread would you really like to see Klaus have in-game?

[garb4ge]

I am really hyped for a number of things:

1) Really horrible coping mechanisms once he starts getting harassed by this world's version of ghosts
2) Maybe actually having to face consequences for his actions (this is going to necessitate him actually making meaningful connections with people, which he's going to try and fight doing even though it's what he secretly really wants)
3) This is a sex-friendly game and I want some of the real kinky shit from his list, esp. some of the pain/cutting combined w/aftercare because I have a Type.

SAME QUESTION TO YOU?

[notblayde]

HHHH I hope you know I'm absolutely gonna be stalking all of these, I'm already in love w/ your Klaus

mmmm

1. Really strong relationships? Especially because I've played Matt having really deep relationships and partnerships in a game over months before and it's just... The payoff is incredible.

2. People calling him out on his ridiculous bullshit. Just... His ego is out of control and he really, constantly needs someone or something to keep him in check. Not even necessarily negative, just... Someone to put a hand on his shoulder and be like "Matt. Enough." Without Boss or Asha to keep him in line he's gonna get out of hand fast.

2.5 SEMI-related, I want the nonhumans to be like... completely over his dumb fawning of them. I can't wait until one of them just stares at him like "uh, wtf dude"

3. I really want him to like... Have the realization that all his weird furry fantasies aren't necessarily as great irl as he thought they would be? Hey, being a fantasy creature may be more than a little inconvenient and a little body horrory

4. ALSO yeah, same re: sex-friendly stuff, I would not have picked Iris if I did not have Certain Hopes

if you weren't limited to the animal choices offered, what would you have picked?

[garb4ge]

LORD don't make me vibrate with the anxiety of knowing people watch my threads

I will throw up all over you

2.5 --> Klaus definitely had to hop on that elf train ASAP after he found out that they were a thing ... you know, FOR SCIENCE.

3 --> Honestly though like it's like puberty all over again

OH OKAY animal choices

God I'm one of those incredibly lame people who just wants to give Klaus beautiful moth wings because of the associations with death and also the overall delicacy/underestimation factor. I settled with the bat-eared fox features because of the eye-makeup type markings and overall dumb face, honestly.

Tell me about Matt's username origin!

[notblayde]

Matt canonically has a dragon fursona so it is going to be. VERY interesting.

honestly, moths would fit pretty well with Klaus - they fit the unassuming and dramatic factor really well.

OH BOY. So. Nyte Blayde ("Two y's and a d in there.... somewhere" as Boss eloquently put it) is, as the SR writers put it, one of those schlocky CW-type supernatural shows akin to True Blood or Supernatural. It's a comic series turned TV show about a vampire hunter who was turned into a vampire and it's... Ridiculous, over the top, it's a whole thing.

Anyway, Matt is a HUGE Nyte Blayde fanboy, to the point where he models part of his virtual world after it, writes fanfiction about it, in SRIV his loyalty mission is based on his self-insert Nyte Blayde fanfic, and in his romance he asks Boss to call him Nyte Blayde.

and basically this is just a really longwinded way to explain it's a pun on "not nyte blayde."

mmmmm if you didn't play klaus, who would you play from UA?

[chainlinks]

Since I haven't watched Umbrella yet, give me a scene in any part of the series that should totally get me to watch it (bonus: including your character in a scene)

[garb4ge]

If you're a visual sort of person ... this is what I think gets a lot of people. The cinematics and the arrangement and the amount of personality they get across in sheer body language is A+.

But in the first episode specifically, Klaus high fives a paramedic after coming out of cardiac arrest. So like. That's my boy in a nutshell.

Gimme a short rundown of the Persona series if you can???

[sometimespawnskillkings]

Which canon Hargeeves sibling dynamic is your fave?

[garb4ge]

Definitely Five and Klaus.

Five is: the only person who asks Klaus how he is doing more than once in eight days, the only one who believes Klaus when he tries to convince everyone that he can see and potentially summon Ben, and is a really great parallel to watch with Klaus.

Also: Five actually defends Klaus while he's having a PTSD moment during the final showdown in the theatre and I'm a sucker for that shit.

[sometimespawnskillkings]

Awesome! :D:D:D

I don’t think I noticed that stuff when I watched the Umbrella Academy.

[garb4ge]

Don't worry, all us obsessive fans have got your back.

[garb4ge]

Give me an elevator pitch for Temple's canon! I know ... zero about RVB.

[sometimespawnskillkings]

Red vs. Blue starts out as being about two teams fighting a meaningless war against each other in a canyon. And eventually, it becomes about how they stop being enemies and discover who has really been pulling the strings.

It starts out comedic and becomes more dramatic and plotty as it goes on.

In some ways, it reminds me of the Umbrella Academy: both these series are whimsical and humorous, and both of them have a group of weird, traumatized, often bickering protagonists as their focus. That’s part of why Temple has such fun CR with Klaus, I think - because their canons both include that kind of dynamic and so, both of them are suited to and used to it as characters.

[garb4ge]

That totally makes sense. I'm hyped for Klaus to get some negative CR at some point, but he's just so damned charming...lol.

[sometimespawnskillkings]

LOL.

Temple and Klaus almost had negative CR but then Klaus managed to make (at least a bit of) a genuine emotional connection with Temple and Temple became kinder towards him as a result.

[garb4ge]

See? Charming.

[sometimespawnskillkings]

Yep! :D
