You just got outsped by an Electrode, IDIOT!
>>55783011>Is your OC the sort to keep their room clean? Or are they content with "organized chaos?"She doesn't even have a permanent home
>>55783023yo what up, where've you been hiding?
>>55780948Not against that.
>>55783015Kid went ALL IN, and won. What a kid.
>>55783059>where've you been hiding?Me? working her? stealing food
>>55783082I saw enough pics in this engine, and all I can say is: we have the technology.But that would be going against the rules in the OP. We come here for a break from all the genwars and lewdposting, dangit!
>Is your OC the sort to keep their room clean? Or are they content with "organized chaos?"Axel doesn't really care until he gets spontaneous compulses to clean everything up.>Draw your OC talking with another /tog/ regular.You can check last thread for that...well in written form. I had the PMD dream sequences in mind when writing it, which means either Axel invaded Vega's dream (which is usually what happens in the mystery dungeon games) or the two were sharing one dream (I'm sure the people here who like seeing Axel feel emotions towards anything that isn't a winged animal like that one).
Well, I already made my presence noticed in this post >>55782818, but it's good to make yourself noticed so everyone can sleep easy.Non burger reporting. Bump.
Lord help me, I'm back on my bullshit
real hours
>>55783594Cozy>>55783600IT MOVES!
>>55783594bibi's legs are gonna be cold like that
>>55783600WOwoWOwoWOwo
I forgot to answer the OP>>55783011>Is your OC the sort to keep their room clean? Or are they content with "organized chaos?"David has a strange relation with "organized chaos". While this usually means "this pile of clothes has my shirts and undies" or "I use my bed as a makeshift sofa, and 3 boxes as a table", David has "chaotic order": When he leaves/returns home, he leaves his wallet, Pokénav and keys on a side table. Then he proceeds to remove his uniform, leaving everything airing out on a chair. Underwear goes straight to the hamper (daily changing, guys, don't be filthy), a short shower to remove the dirt from the body, and straight into pijamas. He is at home, who cares?Only difference is when he gets a day off, and does something like visiting a place. He puts street/formal wear, but when he returns home, he STAYS dressed, even though he no longer needs to leave somewhere. He stays like this until he has to go to bed.As for clothing options, not so many: mainly underwear (for daily changes), a few shirts, a few pants (jeans, fancy pants, slacks), 2 pairs of running shoes, 2 black leather shoes, 2 black suits, 4 white shirts, 3 black belts, 2 track suits with pants that fit, and 3 pijama sets.All this is put in order in a military closet he bought for cheap in a surpluss store. While he is "messy", he never allows this "disorder" to spread: one chair used as a hanger, his work shoes next to the chair he removes them, and a table with food crumbs (until is his day off. Then he cleans it).
>>55783011>>55783015Honored to have been featured in OP and the inevitable zoom post>Thread question: Is your OC the sort to keep their room clean? Or are they content with "organized chaos?"Miko, much like his dad, has no organizational skills. His room isn't *that* messy since he mostly just sleeps in it, but he's the kinda kid to leave stuff lying around and not make his bed.Ivy on the other hand is rather organized, her room is always clean (and decorated with things like posters of workout inspo [spoiler[(beefy guys)[/spoiler] or cutesy fashion magazine cut outs, it's equal parts girly and musclehead.)>Thread task: Crossover Episode! Draw your OC talking with another /tog/ regular.[picrel] Haven't posted much Miko lately. I'm not too sure how Axel would react to him, but Miko would definitely be interested in his robotic buddy since it looks so much like his Delibird. He'd probably think it's a toy or something at first.Alongisde Presents, Miko's Delibird keeps a ton of coins (either the ones dropped by Meowth's Payday or Gimmighoul coins) in its tail sack.>>55783594Cute n cozy Bibi :)>>55778265Speaking of bibi, wanted to commend Bibi-anon on their animation work. The way Mienfoo jumps off screen for a moment feels like the camera pans towards it in the next frame which is pretty cool. The sense of movement is great especially given there's no background to help sell that. >>55783600And speaking of movement, this animations so smooth especially for something that's like, what? 5 frames? I love it. Anyways, back to writing suffering
>>55784012I'm very honored, anon. Though Axel petting a bird would be one of the few moments you'd get a genuine smile out of him.
>>55784012Damn, I fucked up the first spoiler. As penance here is a WIP I have of Ivy in more formal nurse-wear and some doodles.
>>55784032I got you covered B)
>>55784065Miko is my favorite son.
>>55783011Eas tends to keep her living spaces clean. Freesia does not, she only stuffs things into her tail to get them out of the way at most
>>55784400I swear I've never seen this one before
>>55784422She's my OC for a long running Pokemon RP
>>55783011>Thread question: Is your OC the sort to keep their room clean? Or are they content with "organized chaos?"Emily tends to be somewhere in the middle. Some things don't matter and can be left chaotic, other things must be in their right places. It's a bit arbitrary with her. Probably as to be expected of a chaotic being like her that judges everything in a case by case basis.>Thread task: Crossover Episode! Draw your OC talking with another /tog/ regular.Alas I cannot draw for shit and I dunno who Emily with interact with, how it'd honestly go or why.
Voltorba keeps her room clean. She sleeps in her own pokeball. And she leaves when she chooses. The rent is low.
>>55783594gasped when i saw this, she looks so comfy and cute here, seeing this was a great way to start my morning!!! ｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡>>55783600lookit him go>>55784012now thats an adorable picture....the way iton bundle clings to axels leg especially so! also thanks, im doing my best to make use of camera movements since im too lazy to add in backgrounds lmaolove the energy in the ivy doodles, you're great at conveying motion even in still images anon>>55784400what a cutie
>>55783011>be me>have inspiration to write for literally anything except for my OC's main storylineIf I'm lucky, I can get the first page or two done today, but I have no idea where to go from there.
>>55784826Nah, I think I'll just reconstruct Anon's Tabletop Adventures instead today.
>>55784900>>55784826Been there, done that. Good luck, little niggy. >>55784757Figured you would like it. Initially I wanted to stylize her like a Snorunt holding its cloak, but it clashed too much with my usual style so I decided against it. Maybe we'll revisit it for the Christmas cards thread task someday. That drawing is about maybe 20% complete. If I'm lucky, I can slink out of work early and guilt-free and work on it some more in the afternoon.
>>55784900Part 1 has been successfully reconstructed. I'll be posting the entire thing once I'm finished with it.
>>55785101Part 2 has been successfully reconstructed. Some of these images are really big.
Getting to leave four hours early today, we couldn't have asked for an easier day. Almost makes up for going to sleep four hours late.
Gotta go pick-up my new glasses today.Hopefully, surely, this will give me the motivation to draw! Haha...
>>55785682Make sure they have the swirls on the lenses pre-installed. It's a bitch to do it by hand.
>>55784065Axel is happy. All is right in this world.
Easiest workday of my life, I don't know how I keep getting away with it. Time for some spring cleaning, and then right back to drawing until it's time for work again.
>>55785796I like to imagine that the swirls are always slowly spinning and that they begin spinning faster whenever Bibi feels any kind of strong emotion.
>>55786164Oh, I always imagined her hair buns wiggling like cat ears when she's excited.
>>55786181>>55786164Bibi king, got a new animation idea for you when you're done with the Mienfoo.
bleeeeeeeeeeeh how do I even make this look 2011'ly? Its the battle court btwww
>>55786561Looks like the one from Mesagoza based on that arch. >how do I even make this look 2011'ly?Add a fuckton of post-processing filters. All of the bloom. All of the blur. Give the background some nice, vibrant colors and then wash it out so it emphasizes the foreground instead.
>>55783011Kouji-Anon's Tabletop Adventures Reconstructed: https://qu.ax/BmpO.pdf
>>55786685You're a hero. Now rest your eyes.
>>55783011Reposting for feedback and exposure because I felt like this one was a bit "hollow" or rushed compared to the others because I was just trying to get it in for Vega Reconstructed so I could move on to Kouji Reconstructed.https://pastebin.com/uBMbkybvAlso reposting this >>55776495 (read >>55773124 and >>55773210 to understand the prompt) because I wanted more responses. Also, how good or bad is the fight coordination on >>55776965 and >>55777003?
>>55784458Cute. Mind telling us a little about her?
>>55786685Sweet fucking Akatosh, how is this pdf 30mb while the entire /tog/ omnibus is only 15?!>>55786997>Vega ReconstructedYou're right that it's a little rushed, but that's not a bad thing. Not every story needs to be eleven-thousand words, and you can build upon it later. It gave some good character development for Alex, and so I say it served its purpose. >Also, how good or bad is the fight coordinationI think the actual fight coordination is one of the aspects you handle best, inconsequential grammar gripes aside. You do a fantastic job of using descriptions and scenery to lend a lot weight to the action, it speaks volumes about how well you can utilize your imagination. The dialogue is juvenile as all hell, but I think you already knew that and it wasn't the point anyway. Just breathe, anon-kun. Far less talented people have published far more without a fraction of the forethought. Trust that you're doing the right thing and believe. You can do this.
one last hat gag. someone asked if alto would ever wear a crop top a couple threads ago and i didn't feel like drawing his usual getuphttps://files.catbox.moe/1d45mj.mp4>>55785041it's perfect as is even if the snorunt idea was adorable, very in character for her, i include lots of gloves and jackets in her outfits since i imagine she gets sick easy so hiding away from the cold like that is very her>>55782493listen he's already a 10/10 and a king, if i made him any more like me i'd never beat the self insert allegations. promise you i'll draw the bloody aftermath of one of their fights these days>>55786181>>55786164>>55786287i'm on it. honestly that mienfoo isn't getting finished anytime before the weekend so i'll see what i can do before then
>>55787221What was his thought process when putting that on?
>>55787221Excellent
>>55787276delusionally hoping he passes someone like miriam or tulip on the street and they notice him now that he's not in highschool anymore
>>55787299As if Alto were actually brave enough to go out like that.
>>55787221why da hat mad
>>55787439Species-wide autism. No, I'm not joking. They can't turn off their telepathy, so "loud" emotions cause them to sperg out.
>>55787520Just have a Sludge Wave user in your party bro
>>55787563
>>55787221He's going to give a certain someone a certain kind of thoughts
Finally got off my ass and got almost 2 more pages done but holy fuuuuuuuck just typing to myself is so dull.
>>55787901Look at you go! You're doing great!
>>55787901Time to stream yourself typing to the thread.
>>55787996Nah, I wouldn't want to miss it and I need to get more than five hours of sleep tonight, I don't think I'm lucking out again tomorrow.Little preview to end the night on. We are roughly... eh, 60% done now? Hard to gauge now that I think about it, really, but we're getting there.
>>55787996Unironically sounds cringe. And I'm the one doing the writing.
>>55787901at what word count do I get to read this
>>55788469When my bum ass actually finishes the first chapter. No ETA on that at the moment.
Bump.
>>55783011Haven't drawn Maple in forever, let alone posted her, but I just got active again in the RP that started years ago from these threads. The crazy drill is just a high-tier item she got somewhere along that, basically an upgrade to her old Digger Drill.Excadrill isn't her ace, but it's up there, and the Tyranitar is hard to draw often. She's a bit spiny due to Sandslash heredity.>Is your OC the sort to keep their room clean? Or are they content with "organized chaos?"I think her room is cluttered as fuck, but organized. Everything is generally where it should be, but seems to barely fit in the spaces allotted. A loft-bed that nearly scrapes the ceiling, couches stacked on one another, and lots of appliances for maintaining gear and such. Most visitors find it claustrophobic, on top of being in a cave, but I think it's what's comfortable for her. But it's connected to a more sprawling Secret Base that's a lot more of a mess, whether it's extra furnishings, electronics and snacks that she can enjoy with her larger Pokemon, or detritus from digging or rock-hewing.
>>55784400>>55788798Do you two know each other?
Bump
>>55788798>She's a bit spiny due to Sandslash heredity.Reminds me of the Grubbin with a little Joltik heredity. Same anon?
>>55789419It is. I can tell by the artstyle. I’m very curious to know how this “X with Y” heredity thing is supposed to work.
>>55788023Why is she looking at us like that?
>>55784400>>55784458>>55788798We basically got 2 other RPfags in here along with me and I still can't find a person for my niche-ish shit. We live in a society.
>>55789621You said it yourself, it’s niche and it’s shit.
>>55789621how does one become an RPfag?
>>55787337alto's brave enough to sing in public and try his best to live out his wannabe rockstar dreams even though he gets told he sounds like shit to his face every 5 minutes. he won't buckle in the face of social pressures so he dresses and acts however he likes. in terms of physical dangers like a deranged hatterene though? he'll pussy out immediately>>55787520the pokedex entries show that they have some violent tendencies, and while i try and give pokemon individual personalities that don't have to strictly align with the dex, since most of bibi's pokemon have better attitudes i thought it would be funny if she had one that was just an absolute menace, picrel>>55787717and that someone will be very very disappointed when he picks up a microphone>>55788023god i wish i could have a movie night with phos>>55788798incredibly stylish, i love the way you mix in elements from a pokemon's parents into their designs
>>55788957Surprisingly not, but I was just about to say >>55784458 is fucking ADORABLE. And I'm as curious as the other anon as to what her deal is.>>55789419>>55789465Yeah. It's just an aesthetics thing now, but a few gens back I sort of just decided what the father was based on the egg moves I wanted them to have, and kept track of that, and give them some traits of that other species if I draw them. This Tyranitar is Maple's ace (and some old art for size comparison, Maple's 15 here as opposed to 18 in the long-haired pic), and she's got Haxorus in her, which is less deliberately referenced, mostly in just the way her hide is segmented. But maybe because of that, it's my favorite among the mons I've done this with.>>55789664Back in gen 6, some anons from these very sorts of threads started an irc group for it that turned into the discord I'm part of. The crowd's not as primarily /vp/ nowadays though, and since I've been pretty out of it I don't know if they still even post or scout here.
>>55789664By RPing with people, obviously.
>>55789632Wrong use of the word "shit".
>>55783011Question: Alex HATES messes, but he doesn’t have much to make a mess with regardless so his room is always clean by virtue of everything being easy to put back into place.Task: Obligatory “cannot draw, but”. If people are still interested I can make the Alex Interview before or during the weekend.>>55789794I don’t actually know how bad his voice is supposed to sound. I always just pictured it as a generic melodic metalcore vocalist, mediocre but more unremarkable than offensive. Is it just being played up for comic relief? Not like Alex would care. If Alto went out like that, ooh boy. I wonder how often Alto goes out like that.
>>55790019>I can make the Alex InterviewThe characters talking with Alex sounds fun.
>>55790071I have a few ideas already. I just need time to write it out and make sure it’s not retarded.
>>55790085Pastebin Guy, when you have time, take down the link with Alex’s voice lines as I’m replacing that one with the interview.
>>55790085I usually mix Alex with Axel because names are similar.Alex was the bird loving boy, right? Maybe it can be an scenario where both characters meet by accident. Say, they are walking around, and one bird mon attracted their attention.But if it is the guy who is as ambitious as a Wall Street shark, maybe it could work as a "job" interview.
>>55790113Axel is the bird guy >>55784012Alex is the edgier than edge edgy edgelord
>>55790164Got it, thanks.
>>55790019> I wonder how often Alto goes out like that.not often enough
>>55788798>Celesteela lanceThat's pretty cool.Nice art, sis. Really clean lines.
>>55790408>not often enoughWhat makes you say that?
I still can't believe Koa is fucking dead. Taken from us too soon, goodnight sweet prince. >>55791141It's not always about the whats or the whys. Sometimes, it's about asking yourself "why not?"
>>55791175>Koa is fucking deadWhat
>>55790019oh alto is entirely an affront to the ears, his singing is awful. i like toying with the idea his voice is almost eldritch in quality, if you ask two people what he sounds like they'll give different responses based on what their taste in music is like, but they'll both say he's the worst.he operates on the rule of comedy for the most part, when i bring him into a scenario it's for the purpose of gags 9/10 times, so whether the universe favors him or not entirely depends on whatever's funniest. more seriously, if i allow myself to get pretentious about it for a sec, all of my paldean characters have at least loose ties to dreams/wishes/miracles since those are kinda SVs core themes? alto represents the devil-may-care attitude people ought to have for their passions, it doesn't matter if the entire world hates his singing, there's an inherent joy and fulfillment in the craft so he'll never quit. he's honestly musically gifted when it comes to instruments, they present a much easier path to success, but it'd be a cowardly one to walk. anyways, rambling aside he probably opts for the crop top whenever it's too hot to wear some big heavy visual kei inspired outfit.
>>55791292You think he'd sound something like this? if for some reason you think I like this band, I don'thttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4KYH7LK2_0
>>55783011While I finish writing the interview, I also realized that Alex needs help with building a climate habitat for the Snom that he keeps in his room. Give him some suggestions with how he should build it.
>>55791386A sizeable frigde?
>>55791333worry not i can't imagine anyone linking a band they like as an alto voiceclaim after i expressly say he sounds like ass. a while back i made an mp4 that i'm pretty sure is still sitting in the mega featuring my ocs speaking voices, but in all honesty alto's singing is like the monster in a horror story. it's less scary when you've got a concrete understanding of it, i'm content to just say "alto's loud as fuck and sucks like shit" and let the audience decide what that means for themselves>>55791386i'm too busy to do any research atm but why not look into caterpillar terrariums and then put an icy spin on it?
Do notDo not feed the Shaun
>>55791257Koa-anon is sick. Give him time to rest.
>>55791577He died from his illness.
>>55791581Do you have a single fact to back that up?
>>55788798>>55789951Does she have any outfits besides the bunnysuit? I'm not complaining I just think a lot about the kinds of outfits OCs (mostly mine) wear.
>>55791588Nta, but I saw it in a dream. Until Koanon returns from the dead, the burden of proof is on you to show us he's alive.
>>55783011Interview related pollhttps://strawpoll.com/e7ZJGWKJYy3
>>55791895Show us the outfits! How do I know what I'm picking?
>>55791773She wears other stuff in RP that I don't draw, but bunnysuits are her main thing.This was basically her main outfit from ages 10-12 or so, though, which again is pretty old art by now.
>>55792056So why's she a bunnyslut?
>>55792062Part of the old coomer OC group, more about the goon sessions than the Pokemon
>>55792081Very cringe.
>>55791970Folder Guy is going to lose his shit once I'm done.>>55792056Do you think there's a chance that they might try to come back soon?
>>55792098Indeed. If you see Brum in the file name there's a high likelihood it's some kind of deviant sex pest. Keep them in your discord and out of the thread. Verification not required.
>>55792121One image with the four options represented is enough.
>>55792122these threads are garbage though. AI slop and OC donut steel ideas
>>55792150Still better than coomershit and ERPtrash.
>>55792150>OC in the OC thread Are you pretending to be retarded.
>>55792150Everyone looks down and laughs at Emily so that's fine. Every place has to have its black sheep.
>>55792154retard
>>55792158I accept your concession.
>>55792155going to guess is that idiot in the koikatsu thread that keeps complaining we also only do OCs and no IP chars. Wouldnt worry too much about him>>55792122the thread already has a gooner with me arguably, I still need to get motivated to make another OC from here.
>>55792221We've had gooners before you, I think it's just Circeanon and Twenyanon though, and they're more respectful of the no ERP rule than the discordtrannies.
>>55792221>Wouldnt worry too much about himBelieve me, I'm not worried. >>55792121I have much more pressing matters on my mind.
>>55783011>genuinely talented artist from like a month and a half ago comes back and we find out he might be one of the old fetishfagsIf he made like Circeanon and Twenyanon and the Koikatsu guy keeping it mostly to themselves, he might be fine but there's a decent chance he won't follow the rule
>>55792157I enjoy reading emilyposting thoughbiet
>>55792252Give him the benefit of the doubt. Besides, he has Discord, so probably he channelized all his deviancy into that service.Hey, drill bunny guy, watch out your posts, and don't get cancelled.
God, I fucking hate this "gooner" word. It sound so fucking gross. Genuinely makes me grimace each time I see it.Why the fuck can't zoomers come up with good buzzwords and memes. They can't even find a pleasant or catchy sounding word for their tiktok not-censorship words.
>>55792265Personally, I look up to her, even though she is small.Not as a character, but as in her personality.While a perfect character can come across as a Mary Sue, is obviously her weakness is her social skills and her hubris. She may put money where her mouth is, but that will come across as bragging or even showing off accidentaly. Sometimes, I want to put her in a funny scenario.Maybe I'll have an idea about that.
>>55792252talented artist sure, this just isn't the place for a bunny loli fetish that happens to exist in a Pokemon setting
DESU I think the main reason Emily gets shit is because she's more out of place than anything else. She would be right at home as a Claymore wielder in Genshin Impact. But in a setting where very few humans have access to any kind of magical powers, and said powers aren't even that strong, it just feels wrong. Pokemon has never done anything remotely close to giving three lolis godlike power to fight against nigh unstoppable mechs that "can level a city block with ease"
>>55792302correct, it's for epic AI antics with bad ass chuuni characters who know canon characters and have legendries.
>>55792306What about psychic humans that turn people into dolls, men who can counter Aura Spheres, Ghost Pokémon transforming into people to scam humans for their money, or my personal favorite: a human using ENERGY to HEAL his Pokémon?
>>55792306She's just a unlikable self-righteous mary sue the world revolves around and the world always puts in the right no matter what.Ridiculous powerlevels and edge straight out of betrayal harem fics are the least of her issues.That her creator is an obnoxious holier than thou faggot does not help the matter either.
>>55792150>>55792158>>55792309I actually think this guy is a completely separate troll from bunnysuitanon. The tone and cadence of his posts is just way too off and would be an extremely sudden shift if it was the same person. Probably a shartyfaggot instigator trying to waste everyone's time.
>>55792324Could he at least put one of the girls in a bunny suit? My vote goes to Emily, just to see the meltdown.
>>55792281First of all, the gremlin can be as broody as she damn well pleases because there is literally two rules in this thread and our miniature silverback is galaxies away from breaking them. Practice writing, get your wrist workout in the literal dozens of other sanctioned threads for that on this board. I really don't think I ask for much. Beside that, I know that the anon posting her isn't a nutcase on a power trip. He's perfectly content to be a boulder in the stream and I couldn't ask for a better neighbor than that. Just like I tolerate Alex being an obnoxious dweeb. It's plain as day for anyone to see that the anon behind him is a wishywashy lamb. Anyone stronger than Emily is a tryhard, and anyone edgier than Alex is to be shunned. >>55792327Vetoed.
>>55792306>>55792318The Emily character just doesn't into the Poke'mon world. The Poke'mon are there simply to justify being on /vp/.And I don't know why that anon would want to look for a yuri writing partner on an /vp/ general that explicitly states no ERP allowed.
>>55792062I like bunnysuits, and I felt like it'd be neat to just have a character wear one on main. I don't know if I'd make an OC like that nowadays, but it stuck with Maple and I think it looks pretty cool. I've got a lot of coombait OCs, but Maple isn't one of those to me.>>55792081>>55792122The gooner stuff in Brum is mostly kept to a side-server that I'm not involved with, and most of the crowd that is didn't even come from /vp/. Though I myself was the one with the blatantly fetishy amputee character, it's been several years and I feel like I've long managed to reign that sort of thing in. I guess somebody else can be the judge of that.>>55792121A chance that who's gonna try to come back?
>>55792337Well, he did said he is into yuri, and he also said he is into shones stuff, even if he doesn't see the main examples of shonen. I mean, how can you ignore Dragon Ball?Anyway. I feel he only wants to write a Kobayashi Dragon Maid episode where shit actually goes up. A proper dragon battle that ends with everyone defeating the big evil and going to an onsen to celebrate, and the finale being Kobayashi and Toruh finally scizzoring together.
>>55792330The funny thing is, Alex in his current form is actually quite diluted from how I originally concieved him. So many Z*rca-tier scenes have been cut because I thought they wouldn't be received well. Only one scene in particular has survived that phase of planning and I'm still debating on whether or not to keep it it's a beheading scene>>55792343Very long story, but basically we had to chase out some people who turned this thread into a circlejerk revolving around their server and an OC porn exchange, from which they harassed anyone else off. I don't actually think it was even the Brum gang, maybe they were belligerents but they weren't the main people orchestrating it. It was mostly fans of Nyantcha's hyper-edgy characters that were somehow supposed to be satire but ended out just being coombait, such as a Paldean drug kingpin that had mindbrearking sex slave drugs because of course he had them.
>>55792337I think Emilyanon actually admitted that his OC is transplanted from another series. I forget which, though.
>>55792324Yeah, that ain't me. My only posts so far have been:>>55788798>>55789951>>55792056>>55792343
>>55792356It's so weird to me that I'm the oblivious newcomer in all of this.I just want to write and encourage people to write. Zorca what? Brum who? Alex has been here longer than me? At least the Breloom guy seems pretty nice whenever he peeps in.
>>55792337I'm a yurifag and I cringe whenever I see him going about yuri. He's like the worst stereotypes of an /u/fag while also showing surface level knowledge and understanding of everything about the genre. Really impressive in its own way to be honest. It reminds me of those underages who think they're now an "anime expert" because they watched EVA dubbed.>>55792330I like Alex despite his edge because he actually feels properly planned out and thought about and with an actual goal and endgame for his concept and story rather than "my power is having all the powers and I win" playing imagination playground rules always trying to one-up all the other kids vibe Emily always gives me and because ultimately despite being planned out he's not being taken srs business neither by the creator nor the story he's set in so he loops into just being the good kind of edge.
>>55792343>I've got a lot of coombait OCs, but Maple isn't one of those to me.>loli in a bunnysuit>she's 18 now I swear>and a giant drill weapon for some reasonIt's a shame because the hereditary traits is actually an interesting Pokemon concept that I would want to know more about otherwise
>>55792356I see, I think I missed that whole era if it was around the span of Gen 8. Maybe posted once or twice unknowing of the drama, I hazily remember brumbongs getting shouted at for a bit.
>>55792373Okay, but here's the thing: Emily doesn't go around constantly huffing farts about how she has the perfect counter for everything all the time no matter what or when. If left to his own devices, the gremlin is content to just do his own thing. He has never once instigated any bullshit, but he definitely knows how to dismiss other people looking for drama. If anyone is upset about the rock being in the stream, just swim around the fucking rock.
>brum posting i sure hope ming-ming doesn't come back here
>>55792375>she's 18 now I swearI've never hidden my loli stuff; she's 18 because she's literally been aging up for the eight years since the RP started. The drill is something she earned from a quest, standard for what is essentially a TTRPG we've been running alongside it.
>>55792399Didn't she get kicked off in the wake of HirOCma and NIGGAsaki?
>>55792397>huffing farts about how she has the perfect counter for everything all the time no matter what or when.not to mention that these "counters" are often wrong
>>55792403>pokemon TTRPG when will the king return?
>>55792403Whatever, you have the rest of the board for loli trash keep it out of this one thread
>>55792411If you're referring to Kouji, he originally was inactive for a few months before posting Episodes 1, 2, and 3, so he may or may not return in a few months more. If you're referring to picrel, I have no idea who that is. At least I saved Kouji's stuff now.
I hope the Kohaku anon is doing alright.He never posted again.
>>55792399I'm back anon!
>>55792356>SpoilerOh, that one with Kleavor. Well, depends on the setting. If it's grim, edge can come and go. If it's +15 edge, you are allowed up to 3 grim moments. If it's +12, only one.Just like videogames. When you are Teen, you are allowed to only 1 fuck.
>>55792428No, I actually wrote that one out. This is a different one with Team Plasma.>55792422>image search>one result on NewgroundsPlease dear god just be Twenyanon trolling.
>>55792422I'll only accepted Ming Ming version 1.0, back when she was a cute black girl that was into idol fashion rather than the Tumblr/Twitter hambeast she became for Mudsdales and Rapidashes.
>>55792454I accept none of it. Fuck off. Go away. Wax nostalgic about your shitty fucking drama somewhere else. It's not wanted here.
>>55792464>tf2 reaction imagelol
>>55792471If you think that's bad, wait until you witness the hundreds of anime reaction gifs that Emilyanon has saved.
>>55792411Brent's retired from the whole "Fighting God" thing- he's comfortably traveling the world performing his soul out, tutoring, training, and doing the whole eco-protection + pokemon protection/rights thing (I don't wanna think about the number of gardens and forests he's raised from the dead nor the number of students/trainees/proteges he's got). He and the squad already won and made the future they wanted to see, its the new generations turn to make their own lot in the new world. Which from what I hear from the DM, their world is still filled with Pokémon Cults following legendaries- I think the new group has been up against cults of Ho-Oh, Lugia, and I believe they just fought Raikou- a few of them almost died, but they're surviving. I think Brent made a cameo in a night club once and the party didn't interact with him, as far as I'm aware.
>>55792486Hey oh shit you actually responded What happened to speedwagon at the end of the campaign? Did haley ever score ?
>>55792507>SpeedwagonHe started up the Speedwagon Foundation, I think he's helping the new squad fight against the new Cults of the Johto & Kanto stuff. I think he also is going to help them against some Team Rocket stuff as he was a part of their ranks at some point in his past.Also his Lucario, Joseph became a pilot, pretty sure he's crashed less than Joestar has.>Did Haley ever score?Yes
>>55792486>>55792411>>55792422>Ming-ming still fucks Pokemon like your average /vp/ poster>remembers his gardevoir that turns human that he goes on dates with and fucks >Luxray that hates other women, that can smell periodsno wonder your campaign ended fuck off
The vibes took a nosedive with these ghosts of the past of the thread, uh?
>>55792537Today has honestly been the worst day for /tog/ that I can remember. I’m honestly glad that Koa Guy isn’t around to see this. I hope it isn’t the same tommorow. And if it is, then it was nice knowing you guys. This is Alexanon, signing off, until next time.
>>55792545Stand your ground.
>>55792537I mean, what's there to expect? We are technically building on the destroyed remains of the first OC thread. But as that one saying goes: those who don't know their histroy know nothing.Well, we know the history, we know the mistakes, and we know the steps to make this new OC thread a succesful one.Memories will always come and go, but that doesn't define us. What define us are the actions we take in the present. And as long as we don't fall into petty Discord posts while ERPing in another server with characters that don't even belong in generic anime adventures, then we will be alright.
>>55792537It's a troll or two who can't help but dig all the bullshit back up over nothing, and acting like there's still relevant drama. I need to stop taking the bait myself, just ignore it.
I respect Brent more than any other oc here, period. /thread>he managed to seduce all his pokemon >save the creatures of the forest >got to meet the real Speedwagon. >actual art used for his posts, not ai slop or gooner koikatsu models>great sense of humor>>55792527what have you done huh? fucked a regular human? that's incredibly creatively bankrupt and it's pointless to emerge yourself in a fictional world without enjoying all the possibilities
>>55792580>>55792580Ahh yes how could I forget my apologies anon here's a (you) for brave post.Can you share what you've done? I'd love to read it first
>>55792668the better question would be: what have I not doneI've done xenos, monsters, and that includes your momyou are a fag
>>55792507>>55792549Wait, before I leave, I'll throw a bit on what I know about the other three party members going ons post game:>DonnyHe became the Champion of Alola and has been traveling about sight seeing and fighting strong folk when its a good time. The party ran into one of his Pokemon (I think it was his Magnezone) out in the wild, and learned how absurd 4-6x resistance to virtually everything with ridiculous defensive stats are, they beat it apparently but it was 6 v 1 and they were drained by the end. Last I heard he was participating in the Battle Frontier as a special guest. I don't think they've fought him yet.>StronHe's still out here spelunking and hunting for ancient fossils. He did apparently find some mythological fossil that the current party's helping him find the other parts of. He did assist the new group I believe in fight against this massive set of Unown that formed some massive glyph twister thing and I think a legendary level Golurk? He made such a strong impression - that after stopping time and teleporting the party out of a massive cave in that triggered after the fight, one of the new party members was so impressed that he asked and became one of Stron's proteges. So as far as I'm aware Stron's the only one who's got someone using his style of fighting in the current group (Which is basically just Protect/King Shield everything, protect your allies, lock down foes, and never miss an attack via using auto hit moves). >ShadowAs far as I'm aware Shadow the Weavile started a heavy metal band. Dude's got a lot of trauma to belt out so its a good outlet, plus he just likes that music. I know Brent cannot be happier about this development and 100% goes to every concert and is the dad that's somehow louder than everyone else there. I also heard that he apparently mellowed out a little bit, he's not pulling out a gun at every opportunity to shoot a poor fucker- so growth is occurring. And that's all I got, bye!
>>55792701Sorry anon, you belong on /x/ along with me and your tulpas
Non burger reporting to ask: what the fuck did I missed?Old ERPs? Loli bunnies? A xeno fucker? This bimbo >>55792422? People dissin' on Alex and Emily?What happened? I feel like that nigga that "yo, pizza's here" only to find women crying, a dude on the floor, and another waving a flamming t shirt around.
>>55793016Some trolls and rabblerousers, don't give it further attention.
>>55793016With how easygoing it's been in here the past five months, I accept the blame and responsibility for trying to dialogue with them in good faith at first, and I should have taken a more hardline stance when the hens started gossiping. Probably gonna have to have a PSA and make sure everyone knows not to post or respond to content from the time-before, clearly the rules have been too lenient. The only time content from before 2024 gets posted is when bad actors are testing the waters to start slinging shit. There hasn't been any exceptions.
Has your trainer ever had a mentor? If not, would they seek the advice of any in-universe character for anything?
>>55793104Ok>>55793119Hey, don't feel bad man. I even read some came back here because they were surprised with a new OC thread popping out after the first fiasco. Besides, I doubt they will stay (or at least, for long). Something 4chan doesn't give is recognition by name or avatar, so most attention comes from good posting, not just you being there. That's why guys like Bibi anon, or Tweny, or Axel, even some guys like Emily anon, are cool. They just want to fun post, like me and you.>>55793137David had many mentors growing up. He mainly heard the advice from his elders or his most experienced fellows. The only time he didn't seek advice and tried to learn on his own was when he retired as a hermit in the Lavaridge volcano. At least it worked.While he is a bit of a wise man, he likes to stop and learn from others. After all, there's no power if there's no knowledge.
>>55793119I just posted some new drawings of old characters, I've not done shit.
>>55793119It's never worth trying to talk to the coomers. There's a reason why their ms paint /e/ "characters" are forgotten and my ai slop bird autist OC isn't. And even when Axel is gone to the sands of time at least people here will remember him for more than just cheap fapbait.>>55793137I don't know if I'd call it mentoring but Axel often takes his Blaziken to the Dojo in Saffron City for training, so he has some martial arts knowledge.
>>55793265Insist upon your AI slop as much as you want, but you're the only one who cares about this "character", nigger.
>>55793188Duly acknowledged, anon. Five months of daily threads each week without any major incident. Except for whenever old content gets posted, and then the circus decides to weasel its way in like fucking clockwork. >>55793184>after the first fiascoAnd I still don't have any idea what the fuck any of this means and I don't want to know! I don't care about has-been discord drama, I care about encouraging people to be genuine and creative. This thread has nothing to do with anything that happened before; if at any point it did, it didn't overstay the first month. If people want to post about old memes, they can make their own threads. I want people to build something new.
>>55793119Nothing has been happening for the last five months though. Just boring half-baked shit like the yuri-obsessed lolifag and the white bread manhwa protagonist.
>>55793265your self insert is about as interesting as the fat black bitch fap bait bro
>>55793372yuri is wholesome though
I'm fairly new to tog and don't know about a lot of the history here so it's not really my place to comment on all the coomer drama, but I just hope me making Ivy kinda sexy isn't seen as fetish posting or anything >< anyways please enjoy this gif of her kicking lol>>55793137Ivy was a scrappy kid growing up and always admired strength. She had a role model in Marshall, but never a real mentor until she went off to college. She would spend a lot of time at the Saffron dojo training and working out, and even moreso after she got kicked out of nurshing school to blow of steam. This is where she got her Hitmonchan.Miko on the other hand has had his Grandpa act as a sort of mentor. Most of his interests came from spending time with him each summer. Miko's also young and naïve enough to accept advice from anyone older than him really. He's easily impressed and always eager to learn new things. >>55784400Super cute! I'd love to learn more about her.>>55784458Lots of bunny girls in the thread lately huh?>>55788798I'm personally not the biggest fan of bunnysuits or lolis but your art is really great. I love the design of her jacket here and her Celesteela drill lance is also really cool. I also love the idea of her living in a cave/secret base? Does she currently reside in Hoenn or something?>>55786561>>55786603Wish I could offer some advice, but I think this anon's tips already got it covered. It def reads as a battle court tho>>5578722110/10 animation Bibi-anon. I think the crop top suits Alto and Bibi's obliviousness to hat hits just right as always
>>55793399I don't want to imagine the bloodshed just for the guy to reach base 1.
>>55793346I last posted more recently than that, though, and it was the greenhead that other anon reposted. Not a single stink was raised that thread. I have nothing to do with whoever's pulling this shit. Things didn't start escalating until rocks were thrown my way, and I still haven't thrown any myself.I came in hoping for the same thing as you, and that I wouldn't have to hear about ming-ming and dogfuckers and whoever the fuck. Give me a break.
>>55793423it's just one prompt away from being realitythe future is now gentlemen.
>>55793434more ai sloppa daddy please please!!!
>>55793437Ask and you shall receive.
>>55793447make this next OP image
>>55793447>POV: the microsecond before "going postal" was replaced by "Emily moment"
>>55793401>Does she currently reside in Hoenn or something?It's one of four islands in our own setting, which does happen to be the tropical, volcanic one. But Maple's case is more based on the Gen 4 idea of bases and the Underground, since caving in general is her specialty.
>>55793495Oh wow, completely forgot that gen 4 had the underground and secret bases too. Pretty cool.
>>55793447this is my favorite ship!!! I drew their future(potential) child. He's the champion of the region and being the offspring of some of the worlds strongest trainers, he's aspiring to be the champion of the entire Pokemon world.
>>55793509I mean, is a bit easy to miss. First you need an Explorer Kit, and then you must go to an area where you can enter the Underground.Personally, I never cared much. I wanted fossils yet I never found one. I wanted a Cranidos, but all I got were spheres.
>>55793576Cynthia and Dawn aren't OCs.
Sweet Jesus.What the hell happened here today.May tomorrow be a better day for this thread.
>>55793661Nope. Mainly because it clashes with one of the rules in the OP.>>55793693It will be, anon. It will be.
>>55793705Nah, he won the Sinnoh League. He doesn't care about her anymore.
>>55793756No
>>55792454Did some digging in archives and man... this shit is crazy>the person who made it probably left the threads permanently lolstarted as a decent character and slowly flanderized into coombait by their depressionbaiting creatorapparently they pissed someone off by shilling them on another board, which eventually resulted in a campaign in the threads that ended with the discord that ran them (since ming/william was a notable member of them) being chased off, since people seemed to have been silently hating them anyways and avoiding the threads as a resultseeing as they're no longer around these parts, anyone bringing ming up now isn't doing it genuinely and should probably be ignored, it seems that some retards are genuinely upset that there's just writing in these threads now and no discord drama, and are trying to produce it out of thin air because nobody in these threads gives a shit about their gay drama chat anymoreif you're about to reply to their bait, just remember that actually contributing to the thread apparently pisses them off more than shitflinging ever willhttps://arch.b4k.co/vp/search/text/Ming%20ming/page/17/
>>55793889I'm stupid
>>55793889>>55793891Anon, just drop it.Please.Let tomorrow be a brand new day full of sunshine and birds singing.
>>55793891The one on the left was already perfect, and I'll fight whoever thinks making a cute girl into a landwhale sick with the alphabet disease and the pronouns infection is good character growth.
>went to bed at like 100 posts>we're now at 200 when I wake upWhat the fuck happened this time?
>>55794031What always happens in this site: autism.
>>55793751How did your OC beat Cynthia and who is he
>>55793344>>55793380Imagine being angry little uninspired circlejerking faggots who can't even make something more creative than a self insert bird autist cause of being pic related. Thank god your time in this General is over. Go back to F-List or Twitter or something.
>>55794037I was hoping for a more specific answer, but upon actually scrolling through some of it, it seems to just be bitter faggots of the past that the General rose back up from it's own corpse and took on a new path that excluded the people who killed it the first time and denied them an avenue of gooning and circlejerking.
>>55793447>>55793510>>55793470I don't like this.
>>55792435Why me?
>>55794040>Don't let this be youShould be easy. Pornhub "died" years ago after the purge. There's nothing good or fun there now.
>>55794073Let's be honest, it's not just Pornhub at this point. The great purge just caused the gooners to get their fix from more than one source now. This meme came from before the purge.
>>55794072I assume it's cause you're the only regular who REMOTELY goons at all.
>>55794085Its like you saw my old vpcai posts >:]
>>55794135I wouldn't know if they did or not, I am just another anon venturing a guess why they said (You) in particular.
Good morning, /tog/. The mental illness of others is a leaf passing in your river, noted and carried away by the current. Let's make today a productive one; there's work to do.
>>55794050Yeah, it was a fucking mess. You're not seeing half of the posts that the jannies actually bothered to clean up. From what I saw before throwing in the towel, the entire board was under an apocalyptic spam raid. I don't remember ever seeing the catalog more out of control.
>>55794399What caused the board-wide spam raid exactly?
>>55793137A major plot point of Alex’s story is researching under Colress during both BWs. I’m still unsure if they will meet each other again once he goes to Alola. He wouldn’t really trust anyone to truly help him.
>>55794404Fuck, right?? Thursday evening, of all days? No major holidays yesterday or today (I think Australia had their Veterans Day, but that would have fallen on Wednesday for the rest of us), no major world news we don't already know about, seasonal weather... some failed men just want to watch the world burn. I said a lot of things I regret. The only smart decision I made was shutting up and just reporting each post as it came in. I love /tog/, its posters and its lurkers both sincerely, and the thought of giving it up before its time because of e-drama had me feeling territorial.>>55794420Welcome back, bud.
>>55793346>>55793119NTA but we can’t have a hard ban on pre-2024 content because then we’d have to blacklist several OCs like Grim, Hasumi, Brendan, and Tweny. Technically speaking, Kouji as well.
>>55794428Yeah, that was a post made entirely in error. If I wasn't so quick-tempered, I should have taken a step back and realized the bigger issue sooner. >>55793425No hard feelings if you decided not to stick around. But if you're still here, I'm sorry for blaming you. I knew then you didn't invite them in on purpose, and I know now that it really was just tragic timing. The same trick won't work twice on me next time.
>>55794461It’s too late bro, you already killed him.
>>55794427Good thing I was asleep then, seems like just some coordinated raid by anal pained idiots from across many regular threads that got shoved out of them considering we apparently had a bunch of fags in here sounding like they wanted the old /tog/ back in particular. They'll never have their /vp/ circlejerk and goonspace back and they can seethe about it till the end of time.
>>55794511I personally wouldn't be eager to hit the hornet's nest, it's best to just go along with our day and return to our usual antics.
>>55794484Call me Pilate.
>>55783011I regret to inform you guys that due to the bullshit that happened yesterday, as well as just being busy, the interview will be delayed a bit. Plus, I need to make sure it’s not boring.
>>55794538Nah you're Torii Suneemon
I was supposed to be recreating Bibi in KK, But I kinda want to do something else, anyone interested in seeing their OC in 3d?
>>55794656Are you a women only guy? What does your stuff usually look like?
>>55794511>sounding like they wanted the old /tog/ back in particular. They'll never have their /vp/ circlejerk and goonspace back and they can seethe about it till the end of time.Nobody sounded like this, nobody wanted this. I keep seeing this bullshit worked into posts trying to explain what happened. All you're trying to do is get people pissed off at those who've got nothing to do with the trolls.
>>55794693That statement was made to refer specifically to the trolls. I’m not sure how you extrapolated that statement to be against some unknown third group of people. There are only contributors and trolls, period.
>>55794461I'm fine, it's cool, that's actually a relief coming from the one who made those posts. The confusion was the troublemakers' objective, and I don't really blame you for getting wrapped up in it.
>>55794675Not women only, but it does take a bit more time due to what is the focus of the game, I posted here before what I made >>55767711
>>55794765Interesting. Do you have any more examples of the male models that you’ve made?
>want to progress 1st chapter of fic>no fucking clue what the first major thing should be
>>55794792those are most of them, the rest are half baked or ideas that never got off the ground. Even then, with all the mods, any girl clothes could be guy clothes, and I tend to frankenstein or put together chars from other creators for my own chars or use them as inspiration.
>>55794835Do you have at least one scene in your head? Build around that. Paint the scenery, set the tone. Think about the character's goal and what they are going to do to push towards that goal on the day the story begins. Everyone starts their story with a bang, something loud and exciting to try and hook the audience, but consider the novelty of the story starting with the main character waking up and pissing into a river. No grand destiny, just life being lived.
>>55794856My issue is if it would be even interesting to write it or even read it.
>>55794886This is also my issue. I know how I’m going to open the story, but who the fuck wants to read about A kid sitting in the car complaining to his mother that he still has to go to school during the first week of June?
>>55794894>spoilerYeah, like, my idea is a sort of espionage type shit but like who the fuck wants to read about a Trainer just sneaking around?
>>55794898Espionage can be very compelling. I think your issue is that you think your scene will be boring and you don’t know how to make it exciting. Think about how you plan for the secret mission to go. Will it be successful? Will it be unsuccessful? Will it lead into an action sequence? Although cliche, being caught or having a near miss is a good way to up the ante.
>>55794656Do Hasumi and I'm getting you a crate of Guiness
>>55794844When I get home I’ll try and make you a reference.
>>55794928The goth girl? I was considering making her, if you can make some extra reference like a side view or back view I appreciate it.>>55794938Yeah Im working as well right now, take your time working on it.
>>55794956I'll get to it soonTM. The base outfit's already pretty much done, need only side view and certain deets, as well as an established hair pattern, and we're good to go.
>>55794928If Hasumi were to only use 4 of her Pokemon to take on challengers as a Unova e4 member, which 4 would she use?
>>55783600Why is he so cute?
>>55794996Stylization
>>55794981>only fourWhat’s even the reason that the E4 can’t have a full team? I always feel like both in the lore and ingame the E4 is too easy.
>>55794981Chandelure, Golurk, H-Zoroark and the last one is open ended, probably Houndstone.Something something she's not allowed to pull out the Flutter Mane on every random schmuck, Ploteageist isn't that much of a fighter and she hates Cofagrigus, so there's not much of a choice left.Should think of a mega pick for her someday, I'm honestly split between Banette and Sableye, but idk.
>>55795037Well, aside from being fluffers for the Champion bout, the Elite 4 represent the pinnacle of training. It would be abysmally terrible if Pokemon levels and stats atrophied for us the players, but think about what happens if you skip leg training for a week--you're going to start to stagnate and atrophy if you're not always pushing your limits. To be a part of the Elite 4 means dedicating their entire lives to training Pokemon professionally. There's only so much time in the day to train and maintain a team, so getting their party to such high levels represents a serious commitment. Ergo, they may only have four mons at peak strength, but they're each way stronger than any casual enthusiast with a party of six jobbers and most Gym Leaders. You can brute-force one E4 member with the right type matchup, but doing that four times in a row? You need to be smart AND strong; either a history-making prodigy like the Champion; a 300IQ savant like Red, Ethan, etcetera; or another professional tryhard like the Battle Frontier enthusiasts who represent the 1%.
>>55783011Koa keeps his room very tidy. However, Mo-o can usually thrash it all and Koa has to start all over again. It’s kind of a thing.Hey, everyone! I’m NOT dead! Yet! But the universe has been trying. My pharyngitis is gone, but now my age has finally caught up to me and one of my wisdom teeth is coming out! Ouchie!
>>55795107I don’t really hold this opinion. Leveling has been mentioned in both the manga and anime, though more abstractly, but I essentially consider it a crystallized form of the power that Pokemon accumulate. It’s why attacks generated by Pokémon get stronger over time. I don’t believe that this power deprecates because it’s stored somewhere in the Pokemon that it can’t escape from just like how attacks are made from PP, which recovers over time. It’s like saliva. You can eventually run out but your body will always make more unless there’s something seriously wrong with it like very old age or disease. I think the time it takes to train Pokemon is usually exaggerated, but that’s just me.
>>55795218>musumeAh. I’m retarded. Disregard that, that’s from a /co/ thing.
>>55795226And I did it again. I’m stoopidAnyway I am NOT dead
>>55795231Hey Musume, have you ever considered giving Koa one or two reserve Pokemon? I think that someone like him would want to keep his more gentle Milotic out of serious situations. I think Dragonite and/or Baxcalibur would work for this. Likewise, I could see Hemlock swapping out Roserade for Toxicroak during his fights with Koa.
Guys, Musume is back from the dead!
>>55794908I'll admit I have no fucking clue how to make espionage interesting.
>>55792367cheers to that, chief
>>55795328>>55795344Oh my God please don’t start calling me Musume now lmao keep it to Koanon Okay I should probably explain. Musume is an unrelated OC from something else related to /co/ heroes threads. When I do those RPs, I actually change the post name to whichever OC I’m using in those threads. I simply forgot I had that still on while I posted.>>55795347It’s friggin’ espionage, it’s interesting by design. I believe in you, anon!>>55795328Originally, Koa’s team was comprised of four (Mo-o, Stretchy, Rebel and Chomper), with Hula and Sandy being the reserve members. As per any extras, I’m actually not sure. I kinda want to give him one of the Baxcalibur line, but he should travel a little bit more before that, in my opinion.
>>55795371>it’s interesting by design.It absolutely is not interesting by design, you still have to know HOW to MAKE it actually interesting.
>>55795377I mean, that’s if you try to go for realism. As in, a guy sitting in a truck for hours waiting for a specific person to walk by, wiretapping… yeah, then I can see that. But writing a James Bond movie for a Pokémon fanfic sounds amazing.
do you guys actually write or roleplay or just vaguely talk about OC ideas. these threads seem a bit more autistic than other boards' OC threads
>>55795377It's a matter of escalating tension. The noose tightens the longer the infiltration continues; every second counts, but fools rush in. Establish what's at stake and what the punishment is for failure. How well did the infiltrator study the danger zone, what tools are at their disposal to sneak through? Each decision made builds weight as the gambits pile up. What are the guards doing? How do they act during a normal night? What kind of flaws in their behavior can the infiltrator exploit? These men spend their whole careers preparing for a situation like this. Surely, if anything interesting happened, it would be on the next guy's shift, right?Sprinkle in some near-misses, some improvised thinking, and a few moments where one single choice made in equal parts faith, luck, and confidence means the difference between success and failure.>>55795402It's a writing workshop, we have two entire archives of drawing and writing in the OP.
>>55795402I RP and am ATTEMPTING to force myself to write a solo fic but it gets boring a lot.
>>55795218>wisdom teeth is coming out!Good to see you back, but take this advice from someone who removed his wisdom teeth because it was CHIPPED and WITH CAVITIES: remove them NOW!Worst pain I had for a month, it was nightmare. I hope you have to wait way less, otherwise prepare for pain and headaches.
>>55795428I’m probably going to have to schedule a dentist visit in a few days. Ouch owie. Also please don’t start calling me Musume now lmao that’s an unrelated OC
>>55795440Don't worry Koa. You are Koa to me her,e and you would be Musume if I went to /co/, but since I don't do it, I never met this Musume persona. May time will tell.
>>55795440I have never heard of anyone named Musume. If I saw someone named Musume resurrect from the dead--and I'm not saying I have--I definitely wouldn't recognize them.
>>55795453>>55795464Spoilering because it’s probably off-topic, but THIS is Musume. One of many superhero OCs I have. I might draw her with a Clefairy sometime as a joke, who knows
>>55795478Yeah, I've definitely never seen that guy in my life. They don't even look Hawaiian.
>>55795478Reminds me of MHA.I feel there's a joke if you draw her either Koa or Emily right now.
>>55795504Well, it *is* a superhero RP, so it makes sense. I was kinda going for more of an Athena Asamiya vibe, you know, from King of Fighters. Yeah I gotta draw her coming out of an Ultra Wormhole as a joke now lmaoAs per Koa and Emily, I’m not sure what I’d draw with them because they wouldn’t really get along so I might have to come up with a joke or try to draw an epic fight of some kind
>>55795478Would, next question
>>55795377>you still have to know HOW to MAKE it actually interesting.>>55795408>It's a writing workshopReading examples of the specific thing before you write can be helpful on the 'how' behind keeping readers engaged and forming suspense. Even pulling out of that desired niche, learning basics in structure are super helpful in the ultimate goal.Some of my reading list prior has been:Get Started in: Writing Science Fiction and Fantasy, Adam Roberts; Structuring Your Novel, K.M. Weiland; Empire of Blue Water, Stephan Talty; Name of the Wind series, Patrick Rothfuss; A Voyage to Arcturus, David LindsasyAnd Offshore Reverie still kinda stinks!I'd like to know any other 'teach yourself' or other readings from other anons. Lord knows I need more of it even if it is just for Pokemon fanfic.
>>55793891Old OCs unite!
>>55795686>I'd like to know any other 'teach yourself'For you specifically? Master & Commander, The Fox and the Fury, the Richard Bolitho series, the collected works of Joe Abercrombie, and Carolyn Schmidt Brown's study of the Tall Tale in American Folklore and Literature.In general? Honestly, the best teacher is always going to be life experience. Cop-out answer, I know, but hear me out. There's a reason I blogpost about being mistaken for a mobster, and streetracing down mountainsides or taking surprise interstate cycling trips. It's not to show off, but to showcase that adventure is out there for those willing to take that initiative, and those stories can be what lends a soul to your writing. Most people are too wary of taking chances like that, so they live vicariously through fiction instead. Responsible, certainly, but opportunity costs can be steep.If you want to know what it's like to look for a Pokemon, go to the park or into the woods and do some birdwatching. If you want to capture the feeling of the sea, go take a swim at the beach until the rhythmic pull of the waves has you swaying on dry land (rip, land-locked anons). Listen to people, learn their histories and take notes. Capture the essence of a life fulfilled and you'll be putting words to page as naturally as you breathe.
>>55795371I think you should do it anyways, it would make his team stronger. You can make it hatch from an egg midway through the story so he doesn't have to travel for it. Frigibax is quite fitting for being raised by him.
>>55795825Good advice. Reminds me when I got sick.Supposedly I had coverage through my insurance, but then they tried to cover themselves saying "no, he didn't tell us about this", so cue a week of suffering and sickness walking around town to get some proper paperwork, and make my insurance take me.At some point, I went to the HQ, that moved 3 times, and when I arrived it was closing. Wasted day, wasted time, I was pissed as fuck.I called an Uber, went home, but the interesting bit happened while walking and returning home.When I was walking, I recognized many places I walked when I was a kid, be visiting family or just losing myself around the city. And the ride back was peaceful. Me talking with the driver about life and God.When I arrived home I just gave up on bed, and somehow laughed and said "at least I'm home".It's weird how even bad moments managed to end in a positive note. Was I still sick? Yeah, but I learned the right place, how to arrive quickly, and the most important part: with the right paperwork.My head somehow went to Sysiphus: he pushed the rock up, and yet he did no progress. This felt like that, but instead of lamenting, he only said "maybe tomorrow" and went home to rest.Best part? Next day I felt better, I managed to reactivate my insurance, and both my insurance and job had to shove it up their assess. Sometimes you waste time to have a decisive victory.

>>55796060>all that trouble over a case of strep throatBut you absolutely walked away a little more worldly for your troubles, you're right about that. Glad to hear it worked out in the end. >>55796096>open link>read the first wordoooohhho yes
Shroom WITH A VENGANCE
>>55796031Also, this is kind of low-hanging fruit, but since Koa’s definition of a “dragon” goes beyond typing, I unironically think that CH-CH-CH-CH-CHARIZAAAAAARD from K-K-K-K-KANTOOOOOO would be very fitting for Koa.
>>55796110>all that trouble over a case of strep throatIt was dengue, so I had fever and my body felt made of glass. And even when I was bay they were like " fuck you, LMAO XD".Well, I dragged myself, and got the final laugh, so no u.
>>55795825>Master & Commander,..These recommendations are right on the money. How do you KNOW me. Immediately carted the first two on the list.>life-experienceStellar stuff living out your fictional dreams today. No better way than to inspire than listening to your immediate senses when punishing yourself on a 5hr bike trip.I get out on the DPR trail weekly, but haven't taken a vacation in a long time. Need some non-lake beach and trails that aren't perfectly smoothed by sand and gravel to start the Pokemon hunting imagination back up.
>>55795478Dunno why, but the outfit feels like 90s Power Ranger vibes, but with skin.
>>55796096It is the TIME!!!!
>>55796286He is from Hoenn. Skinning a Seviper is nothing new, specially considering he comes from Fallabor. They literally live next route.
>>55795231Welcome back, Koa anon! Glad you are back from the dead and more worldly for the experience. Hopefully, you can channel that perseverance into your writing!
>>55795231HE'S ALIVE! HE'S ALIIIIIIIIIIIVE!
>>55796270>the DPR trailWait, THAT DPR trail? The one that cuts through Cook County like a pretty green tramp stamp? You should take a train ride with me out to the Dunes when the weather warms up, I can show you where the cacti grow out in the trails.
>>55796222I had thought about it, but honestly Kiawe already has one in the anime. I’d rather give Koa something else. Gabite (Garchomp) would probably end up being his flier anyway>>55796031I’ll think about it. The idea of an egg could be pretty cool, although I have zero idea how he’d get one at the moment. It also helps that I don’t dislike Frigibax at all. I think it looks like Minilla, which I find funny. >>55796284Because I drew the arms too wrinkly and thin. She was supposed to look a bit more muscular. I might show other art of her eventually where this is remedied>>55796315>>55796320https://youtu.be/7tPF-kUJIIo?si=6wEILinDdGcNLTTR
>>55796573He wins the Egg from a short local tournament filler sequence. He could also just randomly find it in the Poni Canyon and take it for himself once he fails to find its mother.
>>55796595Eh, the way I have it thought out, there’s no way Baxcalibur would be native to Alola. Call me spergy, but I can only imagine the Pokémon introduced in each generation being native to their respective region, bar some examples, like the Pokémon featured in each dex or punctual examples where the dex has said a particular Pokémon isn’t native to the region. So that means, no Pokémon from gens 8-9 would be native to Alola at all.But, with the idea that Hemlock is introducing invasive species, and in general a bunch of new workers who will undoubtedly have different Pokémon from other places, I can work something out. A small tourney might make sense too, I’ll see what works.
>>55796618I mostly agree, but I think there would be some exceptions on a case by case basis. I think the Frigibax line could live at Mount Lanakila and that's it. It would be a situation similar to Druddigon where the Pokemon only lives close to Victory Road. I also think the Varoom line would have a sparse presence across Alola, arising from abandoned scooters and cars, since travel isn't as car based as in Unova or Galar, it's a situation similar to Paldea with Cyclizar.
WHERE IS MY BIBIIIIIIIIII
>>55796641I could see them working in Lanakila. I’d just have to explain it away as some kind of recent migration, though, because I don’t like to mess with each game’s base dex. But yeah, I can always find a reason for it to exist.>>55796651I would’ve drawn Koa and Bibi if I had the time… maybe later…
>>55796653Koa's dragon autism makes him unable to have something on his team that isn't a "Dragon".
wow we broke 300 replies pretty fast, i'll have to catch up later, having sushi tonight and they use paper in place of mats at this place, couldn't resist doodling beeb
>300 repliesNot it. Someone else can bake.
>>55796721Wow, it's nearly already time for new bread. Here's to hoping that the next one lasts longer.
Just making sure you're around, bud. >>55796721The quiet of the evening was broken by a rhythmic, forceful knocking on the door. Within the dorm room, Bibi reached for her glasses and shuffled towards the door. “Nemona, is that you,” she asked, “Are you having trouble sleeping without battling first?”She opened the door and gasped.
>>55796729Or, at the very least, with no so much shitposting.
>>55796741“Auntie Phos,” she squealed with joy. Phos looked down at Bibi with a knowing smirk as she held a DVD case in her hand. Internally, she bristled at the idea of being anybody’s aunt at the age of twenty-four. “Hey, kiddo,” Phos said, “got time for a movie?”Bibi nodded with enthusiasm. “What are we watching?”“My favorite,” Phos said as she stepped into the dorm room. “My grandpa let me watch it when I was, like, nine years old,” she chuckled to herself, “changed my life forever.”
>>55796747The grey-and-black scene faded into dark as Ginger Rogers pleaded for her forgotten man. Bibi had long since taken her glasses off and now rested her head in Phos’s lap as Phos gently combed her fingernails through her protégé’s hair. Bibi’s soft and untidy locks brushed against Phos’s bare hip, sending long-forgotten and electrifying feelings dancing through her nerves.“Bibi,” Phos called softly, “are you still awake?” The girl’s thick eyelashes twitched ever so slightly, the vapors of her slow breath warmed Phos’s skin through her pantleg. Phos turned her head and glanced up at the wall clock. It was nearly eleven-thirty, and the sky beyond the dorm window was a black void. She leaned her head against the couch and smiled as she continued to stroke Bibi’s hair. Lucky girl, she thought. It would be a while yet before Phos could allow herself to sleep. The room was nearly silent save for the steady ticking of the clock and the gentle whirr of the DVD player. Phos closed her eyes and took a deep breath. How long had it been since she felt so at ease?Phos looked down at Bibi and whispered to her in a tender voice. “If I ever get to have a daughter, I hope she turns out like you.”Within her deep sleep, Bibi smiled and inched closer to her friend.
>>55783011Hold off on baking until later. Some stupid nigger is spamming Nikocado porn right now.
>>55796851Thanks for the sacrifice, brave martyr. I'm taking a nap, I'll see you guys later.
Any suggestions for the thread tasks?
Raider seems to be gone. I am baking as we speak.
