Reblog/Like for an Edith Up roleplay

@askthefwrp

It was one of those usual days. The gourmand fairy, Edith Up, was on her way, flying back to her home called the Gourmand Land after hunting for foods, such as wild fruits. Today, she focused on a dish that she planned to cook: a pie. Edith Up couldn’t wait to try it after making on; she can bet that it was going to be delicious.

The Repairman, meanwhile, was shivering on the dessert part of Gourmand Land. He was glad Cat Slime had a heater with him inside the Repairman’s toolbox. He was also grateful that somehow, it was pretty warm for an ice land. It was more chilly than freezing. Didn’t help with traction, though.

The inkblot found it very hard to not fall into whatever red liquid was here as he slid across the icy ramps. Eventually, though, he was able to come to a stop thanks to some large ice cubes in his path.

As he checked on his tool cart, he noticed some kind of…fanged dark blue thing encased in the ice block he crashed into. It…didn’t look like the kind of thing the Repairman would want to meet.

And the crack the tool cart made on the ice was spreading…

[[I know a lot of people get creeped out by early CGI. I don’t get it.

Maybe I’m just nostalgic, but I personally find something calming about that era, where animators did there best with the tech at the time, and while it doesn’t look too convincing now, you can just feel the effort put behind them and you can just feel how this blew people’s minds at the time.

For instance, I recommend looking up “Beyond the Mind’s Eye”, which I have placed a small snippet of here:

The “Mind’s Eye” series of music videos was made of old computer animation demos. I still love these to this day.]]

🔥 give me more salt

[[More salt, eh…? How about the fact I’m irritated at the lack of UNsympathetic villains these days?

Why can’t we enjoy characters who are evil and love every second of it anymore? Why do they have to fall under the “Draco in Leather Pants” trope all the time now? Let villains go all the way monstrous sometimes, please!

Frankly, I blame the moral panic of “if you like this fictional bad guy then you’re a bad person too”! Which is, if you ask me, stupid. Fiction is not reality.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me some more sympathetic bad guys from time to time, but when it’s literally all we have these days…

I just think when JUMPSCARING KILLER ANIMATRONICS have the excuse of “possessed by the ghosts of murdered children, it’s okay, they’re not really villains,” it’s time to dial it back and remember you don’t need to have sympathy for a character to enjoy them. You can, but it’s not a requirement.]]

Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion. 

[[Hmm…How about the fact that I thought Sonic CD was overall flawed, design-wise?

I’ve heard people call it “the best Sonic game” before, but after playing it, I didn’t hate it, mind (the presentation was gorgeous), but there were too many questionable decisions made for me to classify it wholly as a good game.

Yes, Metal Sonic and Amy were nice. Yes, the music is awesome. Yes, the animated cutscenes were awesome. But the level design wasn’t up to par. And the time-travel mechanic, while neat on paper, meant that it was a huge pain to get the good ending. See, most of the “past” signposts are set up so you can almost build up enough momentum to go back in time, but it cuts off at the last second. Heck, I hear many people just glitch it for this reason.

On top of that, the levels were just obnoxious in my opinion. The only ones that I remember were the first stage (it was a fun stage) and the Metal Sonic race (because it was especially annoying).

I dunno, a lot of people like it, but I just can’t really get into it.]]

what are reasons Rep decides to have a mouth and what does it look like?

[[He doesn’t like having one, since it takes a long time to get him to have a nice, non-drippy one, and he finds a newly-formed mouth to be pretty embarrassing. However, he needs one when he wants/needs to eat or drink. If he ever had to say “aaah” for a doctor or smooch someone, it would come in too.

Anyway, here’s how he looks with a recently-formed, wide-open mouth.]]

“U-um…” Bowyetta was apprehensive. W-well… Bowyetta guesses will
being okay. Just please to not be telling anyone she is being here.”

Shortly
afterward, the rest of the Misfits up in the void heard a knock at the
door. “Can someone please get that?” Beep called from the kitchen.

But
the one who answered the door was barely tall enough to reach the knob
herself. When the door finally did open, Mr. Sir was greeted by what
looked to be a child-sized version of Bowyetta. She seemed confused by
him at first. “Who you?” she asked, and quickly twanged her string at him out of sheer instinct. She didn’t know if she should let him in or not…

The Repairman was taken aback at just how alike the child looked. Not even a bow in her hair or anything. She just looked like a mini-Bowyetta. Heck, she was barely taller than he was!

“Oh, hi,” he waved, peeking in a bit. “I’m the Fourth Wall Repairman, but you can call me Mr. Sir. Your mother and your …friends?…aunts?…roommates?… call me that.”

He couched, and pulled his tool cart closer.

“Anyway, I’m here to fix the Wall. Is now a bad time?”
