I don't remember what I said, so we're all safe. (I don't know if anyone else has that random phobia—the fear of having said something embarrassing that you've already forgotten but no one else has?) He's terrifying enough on that leash.

I'm tempted to ask which other old quotes you can dig up, but I'm somewhat frightened of what I forgot I said. Yeah….Blackwave "I Made Some Poor Sap Stab Himself in the Eye Because I'm a Sicko and Wanted to Watch" and Azrael are good candidates for amping up the darkness level.

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

I wasn't even worried about that until now. -
I mostly just stay holed up in my dungeon.

But is it really a dark fic, if the source material we're working from is pretty dark? I think grimdark really only applies to dark stories based on sunny works—like MLP.

Such is the way of things.

Darkness isn't bad. I'm watching the new Netflix/Marvel Daredevil series, and it is extremely dark. But that darkness fits. It fits the setting, it fits the character, it fits the plot. It makes sense, and seeing the main character remain a hero against that backdrop actually makes the darkness uplifting, as opposed to depressing. Those two fics? They're just dark for the sake of being dark. It doesn't do anything positive for the characters, or for the series as a whole. They didn't even make me see the characters in a whole new light. They just made me ill.

Still in the middle of the first episode, and I'm already hooked! This show is awesome.
-
I couldn't handle more than a minute. Seriously, who looks at a sweet cartoon show and says "Oh, that inspires me to do this"? This is why we can't have nice things.
-
Oh. That video. Trust us, Winter, you're better off not knowing. Really. So. So much better.
-
Oh, I believe it. The internet is a dark, dark place. ….but somehow, dark!Funtimes can still scare green arrows away.

We decided earlier that "September" can also describe an Epic waking up from their Rending. ….sorry to mention it.
-
I'm thinking she'll try and tone it down when her vanillas are around. It won't work forever, especially once Quota starts targeting her, but still.

Try to argue that 15% less isn't better than 0% less. Try. You can't.
-
Good thing he's in The Dalles, right?
-
Blame this guy.
-
The corruption had to show somehow. I think "A Complicated Song" would also fit his peculiar bad luck.
-
More Funtimes. Don't listen to a certain PMV song named after a month while writing something like that, guys. Trust me.

What Happened in Portland
TwiLyghtSansSparkles replied to TwiLyghtSansSparkles's topic in Reckoners RPG
The stupid chess Epic wasn't grinning anymore. His face, when he returned to his human form, was a twisted mask of terror. In the stillness of that basement, Funtimes heard every fear-choked gasp for breath, and she wasn't sure if she imagined it, but she thought she heard his heart hammering. "I—" At that moment, a generator failed or timed out, and the bare bulb plunged them into darkness. "—come from myself. I thought—I wanted—I didn't…want to…. didn't want to grovel." The lights didn't stay out for long. Doctor Funtimes tugged a long ribbon from her sweater, shook it out, and it became a lighter. She sparked a flame into existence, illuminating tears. "Please." She'd scared him into whispering. "Please, please. I'm sorry. It was a mistake. I'm sorry." "I don't get it." Her own voice was soft, and she had ceased her pacing, moving the lighter between them. Sobbing. Tears streaming out beneath his glasses. "You didn't want to grovel, so you found me. Which—okay, if you'd been nice, I wouldn't've done all this. But you weren't, so I did, and now here we are. Here you are. Groveling." He'd already been sinking slowly but steadily in the tar, but she turned it to water just long enough to hasten his progress, before returning it to its previous state. Now he was up to his knees. Funtimes tugged three shorter ribbons from her sweater, merging them into a small cloth. "I believe you, though. Anyone who sent you would've known guns don't work on me. Not really. So before I kill you: why me?" -
Quota doesn't find that as funny as I do.
-
I'd ask why the bolded part is necessary, but cutting it out would probably spoil the effect.
-
It is like something JoCo would write! I love that guy.

That moment when you go to type "Other Funding Sources" into a paper and wind up typing "Other Funtimes Sources." #oregonprobs
