thank you for the suggestion!!! @robertodacosta it was a really good palette for him

what did go on in the marvel rp community coyote i’m asking from a place of earnest curiousity

OKAY SO i was an active member during the year... idk... 2014? 2015? smth like that and i was one of the Titans, unfortunately, having amassed 3k followers on my blog which was big by rp standards but like enough about me 

there was SO much weird shit in marvel rp community like the dramas were so petty, ranging from ‘you stole my icon style’ to ‘you stole my headcanon’ (everyone was SO obsessed w/ protecting their creative integrity ig) but there was also serious shit like some tony stark rper having a slave verse?? meaning that hes rping as a slaveowner idr who was his slave but like still whack

and there was a bucky rper who shipped him w/ shuri and kept trying to find their shuri etc

around when civil war was coming out, there were SO many essays on which side is right or wrong, so many TAKES, the TAKES

like its been so long so i cant remember SPECIFIC examples (plus there was a lot of overlap w/ other rp communites i could describe some specific dramas that were started in other fandoms but trickled down to marvel anyways, like that one time this super popular girl was exposed as a racefaker or when this one girl claimed shes been attacked by a bear and got amnesia in order to escape drama) 

but in marvel rp there was definitely an encompassing sense of general buffoonery bc marvel rp WAS and probably still IS the biggest rp community on this site (cuz u know, mcu is popular). the takes were wack. the ships? out of control. the snobbery in graphics? off the charts. NOBODY read comics there and they probably still dont, if u wanna rp a comic-only character ... GOOD LUCK i tried that w/ mk and nobody wanted to interact w/ me just bc they dont know anything outside the movies... 

tho i have to say i wouldnt call marvel rp the most elitist rp comm on this site, thats gotta be anime folks OR sw folx

11. kindest mutual(s)

OHHH WELL LETS SEE

@paddingtonfilms has been my light my love from the moment we started talking and i can never thank her enough for it!!

@jasontod and @arcadeigannon have ALWAYS let me be a fool and have never clowned me for it ever and I would die for them in a heartbeat

@shaw-sameens she makes sure i remember to eat and take my pills and then threatens to fight whenever i forgot AND ALSO IS ALSO KIND TO ME WHEN IM SAD i love u 

@gregory-peck @galsgadots YOU GUYS ALWAYS MAKE ME SMILE....therefore kind 

as always you’re right...i would say maybe amara considering like. everyone forgets she exists. but amara’s been in adaptations even if she really does get put as hot girl on fire....where was i going with this...why does everyone hate xi’an (you know why)

stan xi’an coy manh aka karma or i’ll break into your house

yes!! his powerset is SO underused! the other thing that’s been frustrating to me about jimmy’s characterization the last few years is that imo writers have been defining him by anger/revenge, when so much of his story in x-force (1991) was realizing that he didn’t want to be someone motivated by anger anymore. its frustrating to see him pigeonholed into characterization that ignores his past development.

Yes! This! It 100% made sense for him to be in that place, given he was just a young man who had literally his entire community murdered after only just starting to come to terms with his brother’s death, but he spent several arcs of development growing from that! (And even when he was in that place in X-Force it wasn’t his entire character.)

What really kills is that we literally got an entire issue all about exactly what Marvel is doing to him now.

poland is a different world now

🔥 the f4 are arguably the most important factor in marvel’s success as a company and the comics industry as a whole so ppl who say they matter less than the avengers are like. stupid.
