Im no hero.

But last time I reblogged one ten/fifteen minutes later I got a call offering me a job

But I reblogged it because I was waiting on hearing back from the job. So there you go.

“Are you sure these are raisins? They don’t taste like raisins.”

“Did you get that guinea pig to reenact that South Park episode?”

“Don’t get mad, but I may have just ruined everything in your closet. Don’t ask how and don’t open the door. Don’t open your closet door for a really long time, please take this advice.”

“How do you even cut your teeth on wedding rings?”

“I don’t think you’re supposed to use disinfectant wipes on your food.”

“I don’t want to alarm you or anything but I thought you should know that there’s a raccoon in your shower.”

“I thought you said you taste like Pepsi Cola.”

“I’m so sorry. I had no idea I was going to sneeze. I won’t sneeze on you next time we meet, I swear.”

“Is that a British Army Browning L9A1 in your pocket? Or are you just pleased to- Oh! Oh my God, that’s actually a gun.”

“Just because you paint your entire body blue, does not mean you’re a member of that Blue Man Group. Where did you get that PVC pipe?”

“Let me get this straight, the little kid punched you in the face after you stole their milkshake or did they punch you in the face and then steal your milkshake? Either way, no the tooth fairy is not going to bring you cash for a chipped off piece of tooth.”

“Look, I know that we just met but trust me, I’m trustworthy and I need your Netflix log in.”

“No, I do not ‘got any weed.‘”

“Please stop asking me if I want to build a snowman. It doesn’t even snow here.”

“Tell me you didn’t put five times the amount of detergent you’re supposed to in the washing machine again.”

“That whole pineapple thing didn’t work. Maybe you didn’t eat enough.”

“What do you mean I shouldn’t give hitchhikers rides? I’ve given like eight of them rides just this week! I seriously doubt I’m going to pick up a serial killer, I’m pretty sure I would know.”

“Why is your pocket moving?”

“You can’t just say checkmate every time you make a move.”

“You didn’t have to get me a gift- Oh. Another “#1 Asshole” mug.”

“You know what? It’s really rude to stare. I would really appreciate it if you’d just tell me if there’s something on my face or something.”

“You look really familiar. Do I look familiar? Have we met before?”

“You never want to hang out anymore. I told you I wasn’t going to have your entire house post-it noted ever again. You have to trust me. Besides, the guy charged a lot of money and I don’t want to spend that much on you again.”

“You’re watching X Men Origins: Wolverine again? How many times have you seen this now? At least watch the good one!”

Atop Mount Othrys:

Jason Grace was surrounded by a legion of dracanae. Though he was fighting as hard as he could, there were too many of them. As he was about to be defeated, the stars above him brightened. Arrows flew, seemingly out of nowhere, and vaporized half of the monsters. For just a second, Jason saw, out of the corner of his eye, a girl wearing a dress of stars.

    If you disrespect OCs, you disrespect all authors.

    OC stands for Original Character. Whether or not they exist in a fandom that is not their own does not matter. That’s why it’s not Original Story it’s Original Character. An OC is created solely off of the imagination of the author to carry out their purpose whether it be to love another character, to solve a conflict, or something else.

    It is understandable if someone does not like a character that is a mary-sue or gary-stu. These are characters who are either a writer’s self-insert (which the reader wouldn’t know if they don’t know the author) or characters that seem too “perfect”. However, making mary-sues or gary-stus is a step in the OC creation process. These are typically made by beginning authors. They need time and people to help them develop their characters. No one is going to make a first draft of a character and call it a final, it takes time for characters to develop fears, strengths, weaknesses, hobbies, etc. It’s like revising an essay. You’ll move things around and change things until they’re nearly perfect, but nothing is ever “perfect”. You’ll ask your peers for their advice and to revise any potential errors. In the roleplaying world, a roleplay partner should point out any flaws or something that may improve a character. This is what makes characters less of a mary-stu or gary-stu. But the thing is, no one gives them a chance.

    As an author in the roleplay community with several OC roleplay blogs, I myself and a few other OC authors have been having a hard time being accepted by those who play canon characters. This is why I’m writing this. Someone was bashing OCs in general, saying that they were an annoyance. Maybe it’s hard for some people to grasp, but canon characters are original characters. Someone created Tamaki Suoh, someone created Harry Potter, someone created Captain Jack Sparrow, but only when they got a popular movie, anime, book, etc. did they become what we know as “canon”. They’re still original to someone regardless of what people say. There are also canon characters that are more than perfect, but no one bashes them as much as people criticize original characters. 

    I’m not saying that there aren’t people who aren’t accepting of the creativity and imagination of Original Characters. It’s just that there isn’t enough people who are willing to look deeper into a character. Many criticize OCs before they really get to know them or their story. It’s disrespectful of people to do this without getting a good look. Maybe if people give more constructive criticism, OCs will receive a new makeover and the stereotype will be changed.

    Let’s please get rid of the stereotype that all OCs are mary-sues or gary-stus. Because let’s admit it. There are people who will go onto an OCs page and say, “This character is an OC, they must suck,“ and not look into the backstory, the canons, or the intricate details that the author spend days, weeks, years putting into a character. And because of what? A lousy stereotype.

    Don’t judge a book by it’s cover. Don’t judge a character by their author. Don’t judge an author by their character. Help us develop our characters. Give us constructive criticism to make us better. Respect that we have flaws and that nothing is perfect.
