QUESTIONS FOR THE MUN (accepting)
♦what’s an au that you’ve always wanted?
hmm, this one’s tricky. i suppose an au where ocelot kept with big boss and was with him on zanzibar. or an au where the shit with liquid’s arm possessing him doesn’t happen and he’s still a good character by mgs2. an au where, if you please, liquid lives and everything is less complicated and flows at a much better and more sensible pace so ocelot isn’t just running around from clone child to clone child to torment. yeah, i think i’d like that one the best.
♣ is there an author(s) that you look up to with your writing skills?
i guess that depends. book authors or other rp authors or just writers in general? i’ll address both just because. i love the simplistic yet cynical and metaphor-driven writing style of koush takami, author of the battle royale novel (one of the best books i have ever read). it’s poetic but grounded in a casual reality, if that makes sense? i know my ocelot is more poetic than that but i still adore that pleasant mix. i try to emulate it per-character i write by establishing symbolism for them that i can corporate in all of my roleplay-based writing. for dialogue i look towards quentin tarantino, sergio leone, and guillermo del toro. film is my largest inspo for anything i do. i know quentin is currently a controversial figure in regards to his endargment of uma and im sure other actors under his work because he’s an asshole, but his scriptwork is done so well. for ocelot specifically most of my dialogue-inspo derives from hateful eight and jules’ lines in pulp fiction. sergio leone is the writer of some of the most popular spaghetti westerns you see about; duck you sucker, the dollars trilogy, once upon a time in the west. he’s very dramatic and flows extremely well. much like ocel. everyone always thinks of eastwood with these films but the dialogue for van cleef and wallach are where the real gems are. i look towards del toro mostly for two of his films that were particularly outstanding to me. shape of water and strickland’s amazing performance and delivery of biblical references in superb timing and pan’s labyrinth for the childishly dark mood it somehow captured. and i guess for rp authors i’ll say @warprofit because they the best.
