Harry Potter RPG Want Ads

( Journal Mechanics. )

I really, really, really want to play Alastor Moody at a First War RPG. And because it would probably be the best thing that ever existed, I really want to use this man as his PB:

Seriously, though, WalterKovacs!Moody would be fucking fantastic.

Yes, yes, the book was better than the movie, Diet Coke is bad for you, Snape kills Dumbledore, I know. I know. But I thought the movie was good, and Rorschach is awesome. I couldn't help but be reminded of Moody when I was watching the movie again this weekend, and I think Rorschach would make a great First War Moody.

Even though he kind of looks like a grown up TS!Benjy, which makes me feel a little weird, and Dedalus feel really weird.


I thought about picking him up at TS before the vodka wore of and I realized that this would be exceptionally difficult. Is anyone looking for a Moody?

You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute. Since when were they working there? Since when were they dating him/her? Since when?" And you wonder how you could have missed all of that seemingly standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification, because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

WHY do I keep getting bizarre, unrelated anoncons on my character applications?

Today, I found an application for a character that I'm pretty sure is based on one that I wrote a while ago. I don't mean to flatter myself - it's possible that some of the things that I thought were my own invention have since become part of collective fanon for this character, but even the family names they chose and details about those family members were remarkably similar. The structure took largely the same form, some paragraphs seemed like reworded summary, and even a few turns of phrase were similar to or the same as ones I used.

Admittedly, I've done similar when I found applications that I liked - taken into consideration details and and aspects of the character that I had not previously considered, appropriated details either intentionally or accidentally due to source misattribution the next time I wrote an application for that character - though I generally ask the application's writer before doing so, especially if I don't know them. And the character is clearly not identical - they took aspects of the character in different directions, elaborated in places I didn't, and they certainly wrote the thing for themselves (GOD I hate the singular "they.")

It's certainly possible that I'm imagining things, and this is just a more common way to write this character than I was aware, but it left an odd taste in my mouth. What do you guys think about this sort of thing? Borrowing heavily from another person's interpretation of a character without asking or citing your source? Clearly, this is the internets, and I'm not exactly F. Scott Fitzgerald - I know most people don't write bibliographies when they're roleplaying - but I guess I just felt sort of odd about it. Flattered, I suppose, but odd.

Why do wedding dresses all make me look either flat-chested or frumpy? And/or deathly pale.

Funny story: I never realized that my compulsions and constant, crippling anxiety brought on by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder could be interpreted as showing off.

Let's call my little sister and tell her we know that her craniofacial birth defect is just an elaborate plan to get the insurance company to cover her nose job. OH OH OH and when we're done, we can tell my transgender brother that he just wanted to have a cool gender identity that would bother our conservative Christian parents.


Man, my parents should NOT have reproduced.
