Sunday Indulgences

[buongiornodaisy.livejournal.com]

Sundays, as decreed on ye moste importante pimpe schedule, are henceforth your official self-pimping days. Every Sunday I shall make a post inviting you to shamelessly declare your awesomeness. Let us, in these days, remember the wise words of gethenian:

And if I hear of anyone refusing to participate because they don't think their RP is good enough, I shall crawl through the internet wires, wriggling like an underworldly grub, and I shall bite you. If it's important enough for you to play, and if you enjoy it, it is automatically good enough to be pimped. Because the whole POINT of RP is that you enjoy it. If what you enjoy is sueing it up with angstariffic pr0n-mongering whatever the crud, WHATEVER. Pimp. Brag. Boast. Fangirl. Flail. Tell us all about why you're awesome. You should think you're awesome. If you don't, why the hell are you RPing?

That's right, you heard Ven: if it's awesome enough for you, it's awesome enough to pimp. So pimp yourself, me hearties!

Lesse here, I finished a thread of pure awesome today, and am slowtiming a thread that promises to be made of sheer awesome.

First: James Bond of the British Secret Intelligence Service meets Control, head of British Secret Intelligence (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18762357.html?thread=790504565#t790504565), who has a bad habit of, er, openly admitting as much. I took one look at Control's userinfo, beamed, thinking "HOLY SHIT, THIS THREAD IS GOING TO BE AWESOME." It did not dissappoint.

The in-progress thread is between Bond and Lissar (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18766437.html?thread=790564965#t790564965), who make rather curious and cute friends. Lissar, trying to save her Chevy, is looking at camshafts. Bond, who loves cars, wants to help. After Lissar mentions the garage, Bond gets a bit curious. They are down there now, with access to of lots and lots and lots of cars, some of which Bond may want to drive. Let's see what happens. >D This thread has the special honor of making me do research on what sort of Bentley Timmy Jimmy drove before it got wrecked in Moonraker (no, it didn't involve Jaws).

My favorite thing that happened in-game: Carl and Bumblebee. Because giant robot cars are Win.

My other highlight of the week I don't feel comfortable posting yet, since it's for a collection of canon!OOMs and will hopefully be seeing air time soon enough. However, I have to mention it for a v. simple reason:
It's a Cosmo OOM. And LJ, in its infinite wisdom, gave it '666.html' as a signifier. I KID THEE NOT. (And in my estimation, Cos isn't really that dastardly. But still.)

Tavi, Max, and Kitai discuss the multiverse (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18766281.html). I was surprised how well this turned out -- re-reading it afterwards felt like it could have been a scene right out of the book. (And since I wasn't in the thread all that much, most of the credit for that goes to Tavi-mun and Max-mun. Great job, guys!)

[ostro_goth]

I self-pimp Teja and Toki, who talk wonderfully:

Yesterday, Teja encouraged an unhappy lost little mini!Toki;

today, Teja had a deep conversation about love and friendship with the usual Toki.

[scurlock]

All of the threads at Doc's party were so much fun to write and much love to everyone who came out to thread with him, the pup appreciates it very much.

I am personally happy with my latest OOM for Doc and the thread with Jack that inspired it.

(And there's another OOM I cannot wait to unveil between Doc and Billy and the gang, yay canon! But it has to wait a bit longer but soon!)

[vivien]

We had so much fun snickering over Tom and Door and the Terrible 70s Architecture Holiday, that I must pimp like a mad pimping thing.

[jaceekei.livejournal.com]

The past two Shalla (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18692060.html) OOMs (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18767987.html) that I've done, if for no other reason than I am proud for vaguely managing to figure out Star Wars timelines and for placing various battles.

Also because I very rarely do plots or arcs or whatever, and now I am! Maybe this will motivate me to put my other characters through their canon.

[... third time is the charm.]

I'ma pimp Mark Antony's poem, because Mark Antony. Writing love poetry. To the goddess of peace. Amuses me to no end.

(And his long chat with Teja, even though it's got its own post, because it was all kinds of fun.)

[ladyiapetus]

These are currently all in-process slowtimes, but I don't think that's a reason to exempt them from pimping.

First off, we have Dani Phantom Fenton meets Mary Jensen. Because there's just something about one half-ghost girl trying to help another ghost girl that makes one go "awww". And this comes after her meeting with the Dread Pirate Bluetail earlier in the day.

And at the other side of the Bar, Lily says goodbye to James.

Along with Teja and Toki as previously mentioned, has anyone NOT seen Pickles and Miniver and their incessant schmoop? OMG those two.

They still don't rot your teeth as badly as Toki and Stephanie do, though. (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18766631.html?thread=790610471#t790610471)

I'm particularly fond of Tiny!Toki's threading with his future bandmate and otherthings-mate, Skwisgaar. It shows (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18754922.html?thread=789978730#t789978730) a side to Skwisgaar that almost makes you want to hug the big ol' ass. Almost.

It's only just started, but I am having so much fun playing She-Hulk, Attorney at Law against Dr. Malcolm Crowe.

Let the doctor vs. lawyer jokes commence! (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18772577.html?thread=790858337#t790858337) Woohoo!

[ceitfianna]

Thank you all for welcoming the Pirate King so well, I just have to pimp his entrance. I'm having an utter ball with this and its all thanks to you since he's just wonderful crack.

All right, all right. Take a gander at this:

Puck learns some upsetting news. (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18775213.html)

THE ICON MAKES SENSE.

[cheevy.livejournal.com]

Whee! I like this idea.

Miniver performs two songs for Pckles (http://cheevy.livejournal.com/15751.html) to show him what he can do with that thar guitar.

They're good songs. I know, because I wrote them myself. One of them was linked to the bar as an OOM containing a lot of introspective backstory-shaped stuff, but the other was not. So go read it.

Also, tonight Miniver and Toki did some jamming (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18766631.html?thread=790614055#t790614055) that ended in a drinking contest, which Miniver lost. He will therefor be appearing in the bar tomorrow in a truly silly outfit after I finish work. :D!

And for a change, because I DO play other characters (really!!!), Therem meets Guppy at a time that is probably not the best (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18614589.html?thread=782383165#t782383165), but it gaveme a lot of lovely opportunities to play with the intricacies of Therem's culture. Also, to let him be a bit parental.

My turn!

First up, a thread that's breaking my heart for reasons even I don't fully understand but I am loving nonetheless: Mary Anne and Plourr.

On a much lighter note, there's also Mary Anne and Kit. "Do you have any problems with being German?"

Also hi-larious, after more than two years, Mary Anne and Ace finally meet. It may be short and sweet (like cookie dough!) but it makes me giggle like a fiend.

Oooh, ooh, one more thing! Mary Anne and Dworkin because their threads also manage to warm my heart and be full of batshit crazy at the same time.

[wakeupnew]

Kat already mentioned Mary Anne and Plourr above-comment, which is just -- gwah. I have such a weakness for strong female characters, and they understand each other so well, and that thread is lovely and making me flail, a lot.

I'm having a lot of fun with Dennis and Howl, though it's still on-going; Gwynne brings out the best in me. Also, I'm just having a lot of fun with Dennis in general; I have another Dennis-thing that I really love and want to link, but it hasn't been finished or posted to the bar yet, so it will have to wait for another day!

Hawkeye and Brennan, in which Hawkeye makes the acquiantance of a beautiful woman studying a human skull. Hawkeye's one of those characters where I (literally) headdesk repeatedly while playing him, because I think it's terrible and I'm screwing everything up, and I have to come back the next day and reread to see if it's any good. I think this one's any good; it entertains me, anyway!

I happen to be rather proud of Harth and his new girlfriend Emily (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18767545.html?nc=40). :D

Aren't they cute?

[notaprincessyet.livejournal.com]

Giselle's OOM (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/18770321.html).

I am vastly proud of writing that yesterday (or the day of this post) because it's just so different from the sorts of things I usually write.
