#funny mc

This is also an MC who is typically a model worker/student who is usually always having to be responsible, so this is the one area that they get to let loose. This also means that many of the characters enabling them believe that this MC should be allowed to just be a little crazy for once, so everything that happens as a result of the fireworks related shenanigans is quickly forgiven/laughed off, as long as no one got hurt. This is an MC who, when they get put in charge of buying the goddamned fireworks, they come back with a couple hundred bucks worth of fireworks. Then when a character asks them what they all do, MC just start looking through their bags and going “Well I’m pretty sure-” and will go on to only be half-right about what those fireworks do. This is an MC who’ll hand a character a firework and say “I’m gonna light this and you need to throw it over there” causing the character to either freak out and panic (At which point the MC will not light the firework and instead hand it to someone who isn’t gonna freak out. MC may love fireworks, but they’re also not completely reckless, even if they seem like they are), or the character will give a nod, throw the firework as told, and discover that they only just barely threw it so they were outside of the blast radius with the MC’s instructions. This is an MC who might seem really reckless sometimes, and might get yelled at/scolded by more responsible characters for incidents such as; Characters who entrusted MC to buy the fireworks: "So none of these go into the air, right?" MC: "Yeah" "You promise?" "Yeah" "Good, because we can't do that here" "Yup" "Because this is [A place where they shouldn’t be doing fireworks and don’t want to draw attention to themselves]" "I know” "We really don’t wanna attract attention" "I know" ➔ MC lights the first firework and it goes flying into the air and all of the characters just look at them. MC: “I think this one just spins.” MC lights the firework, steps back. It does indeed spin. But then it explodes into a ton of little sparks that fill out a 3x5x5 area and everyone looks at MC who is just fucking delighted that it did something so unexpected and pretty. This is an MC who is hilariously adorable about their love of fireworks and pyrotechnics and the characters around them mostly think of them as a loveable scamp. Some characters might have a healthy skepticism about letting MC be in charge of fire-related activities after the night is over though. This is also an MC who grabs a large box and is like “It’s time for the $60 unicorn fountain finisher” Responsible Character: “I’m reading the box for this one.” The box contains no instructions. No guidelines. There’s nothing telling the characters how big this thing’s gonna be, or how long it’ll go on for. - It’s just a giant unicorn shaped fountain firework. - Which proceeds to then light up a 10x10x10 foot area of air space attracting a lot more attention than the characters initially thought they would attract. This is an MC who is seen in the background, shoveling leftover fireworks into a bag while making eye contact with the characters who showed up to shut this party down. This is an MC who the characters have to act as the responsible ones when it comes to fire/fireworks/pyrotechnic related things because MC sure as hell isn’t gonna be the responsible one and expects to be reined in by the people around them. The entire cast has wildly different opinions on MC’s fireworks passions by the end of the night, but one thing’s for sure; It was memorable because of MC.

MC makes them so convincing that the characters genuinely believe that this is a real cultural rift between them. The characters and MC’s languages share enough words that they can communicate really well, so where did their communities diverge that prevents them from knowing THESE words?? If there’s a linguistics nerd who is fascinated by the differences, they try to research into a nonexistent rabbithole of linguistic research to find if there’s any words in the history of their world that connects to these, to see if there was a time when their worlds were connected in the past where they could have diverged, and what the implications of that could be. If MC has been ripped from their world and has no way of getting back, the characters could see this as a very real lead to discovering MC’s origins. Extra points if MC starts forging documents to make the rabbithole seem legit. Extra EXTRA points if the linguistics nerd(s) realize(s) that these words couldn’t be real and just starts forging their OWN documents to trip up MC and see how they react. Came to me because I was watching a funny video where someone was challenged to make up a fake word with at least 3 syllables and try to convince people that it was real by using it organically in a conversation. I made up a word and really liked it, and then started playing around with more words for funsies and just got the inspiration for this concept. I was like “I could totally see an MC doing something similar and convincing the casts of these games that these words were real.” Maybe there’s a character or two who knows that these words aren’t real and is messing with MC to trip them up.
