Hey. Well after not really using this account for much the past god knows how long, I've come to a decision on what I'll do with this account: I'm going to repurpose it as the home of a story/fanfic I'm going to post up here based on an idea I first got from playing the Shantae games since back in VERY late 2016.

I won't go into everything yet, but as far my overall plan goes, I'm going to write up the full version of a story that's been in the works for about 6 years with friends and have SOMETHING to show for all my time here on DA. Wish me the best of luck there and am honestly looking forward to trying to be productive for once on my time in DA. Might have to re-organize my gallery to make room for the new stuff, but...yeah! Can't wait! =)

Here I go again: I thought after a couple years ago I dodged a bullet with my circle of friends holding together at a time I thought they were falling apart, I'd be good for a while longer. I don't know if that while has truly passed or not, but I DO know I'm facing that collapse with my closest roleplaying buddies once more...and given it was kind of a miracle to even survive after this type of journal in 2018...I don't stand that same chance in a truly shitty year like 2020 that may as well be "the stolen year" in my life.

So once again, I must put out a call for help for new friends to come and take the place of the friends I fear will be gone from my life. Here's what's going to be on the table if you're interested which shall be listed below: CURRENTLY Supported Role-play ideas i have actively open: -My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (ALL eras. I am NOT one of those fans who stopped anywhere before the end.) -My Little Pony: Equestria Girls (IF this counts seperately from ponies) -Kamen Rider (Working on my own Riderverse based on the general Rider history) -Power Rangers/Super Sentai (Will allow and if anything WELCOME Boom Studios logic for the Ranger side of things, but WON'T be doing a lot of the mainstream canon from post-RPM in this world. Can negotiate however, since I might be in need of rebuilding here.) -Shantae (Mainly Half-Genie Hero era onwards, which DOES also include the "Seven Sirens" era since that's AFTER the HGH era.) -Castlevania (EITHER original OR Lord of Shadows timeline though priority to the ORIGINAL timeline) -Hyperdimension Neptunia (Hyperdimension OR Ultradimension are fine. Can work with most spin-off era chars too since it's been a while since any TRULY new main games have been made and might not be happening any time soon.) -Mortal Kombat (Thank you MK11 for your time-bending gimmick and the numerous possibilities for new worlds! ONE thing that is DEFINITELY working in Mortal Kombat's favor) -Date-A-Live (This is one that while I DO indeed do stuff with, will mainly stick to alternate canon here for ease of RP sake.) -Super Mario (Started later with this one compared to most RP nodes, but still up for grabs.)

-My Next Life as a Villainess: All Roads Lead to Doom (One of the more niche and recent things on the table, but Katarina Claes is best waifu in this series by far.)

-Symphogear (Can RP this on its own OR as part of a crossover.) -Fate (Can RP this on its own OR as part of a crossover. Kinda late to this party, but who cares.)

-Aggretsuko (Simply enough SURELY...right?)

FORMERLY Supported Role-play ideas I MAY re-open:

-Sonic the Hedgehog (A hallmark of my yester-years. IF you want to hit me up for this, expect a lot of usage of lesser-known chars besides the game chars.) -Sly Cooper (Have not done this in a while, but MAY reconsider it.)

-Gundam (Mainly G, Wing, and 00 despite not actively RPing the latter two. Can work with plenty of the Gundam timeline if need be.) -Fallout Equestria (Haven't done this in a while, but can still do this.)

-Star Fox (Hasn't gotten much support for a while, so indeed this has been moved to FORMERLY supported.)

-Metroid (Since the people who I FIRST did this kind of stuff with may NOT still be there soon and even then, this hasn't been a priority in a while.)

-Dragon Ball (Mainly Z, Super, and Xenoverse era. A CLASSIC from a yester-year, but also from a time when expectations were easier to please. Haven't done much new in a while regardless.)

-RWBY (Though given how much of a mess the canon is now and that messy state CONTRIBUTED to a discussion gone HORRIBLY wrong...going alternate canon for this one. Hope no one minds.) -Pokemon (Thank the Sword/Shield era for KILLING recent support for this series in RPs, but I still have it just in case someone wants to bring it back.) POTENTIALLY Supported RP-ideas I HAVE NOT Tried Yet: -Fire Emblem (Please be an expert if you wish to hit me up on this for RPs. I've yet to give this a proper try. More likely to take to the Awakening-era onwards for PURELY Fire Emblem stories.) -Blaster Master Zero 1+2 (Never followed through on this one, so still here in the WIP like back in 2018.)

-Soul Calibur (Same deal as Blaster Master Zero 1+2, will probs restart with the VI era onwards, since the V era BURIED the original timeline.)

-Xenoblade Chronicles (Likely Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in particular, since that one interests me the most.)

-Persona (More likely 4 or 5 era, but have NOT given this any truly DEDICATED support yet.)

-Helltaker (IS there something to RP for this? If there is, let me know.)

-Crash Bandicoot (Never got far with this, so am still at the starting line here.)

Like back in 2018, if you don't see something you want to RP on my list, that's because it's simply not ANY part of my current rotation of ideas that ever had support AND may or may not still be open to getting that support again. However, if you have a good enough you think I missed, let me know. More details on that below in a moment. In any RPs I do, I maintain from two years ago that OCs are plenty welcome because in most RPs ever, I will likely have OCs of my own on the table as well. I am VERY fun to work with for people who don't mind bending/breaking rules in a given canon, doing crossovers that seem like they MIGHT just work, or even throwing in certain kinks here and there if I happen to like certain kinks. Just don't ask me to do PURELY canon and "vanilla" RPs because my skillset is FAR less useful for OBEYING rules than BREAKING the rules. Also nine times out of ten, I am the type of guy whom if I see something within a canon I DON'T like, I'd rather break the rules to see what's possible in RPs that are NOT possible in the canon alone.

If you're interested in RPing with me, again note me if you want my Discord OR ask me any questions here if you're not ready to ask for my Discord OR to remind me if you're still on my Discord and I've somehow forgotten. Either works.

One FINAL rule I will impliment here I did NOT in 2018 with a similar journal: I'm not a politics kind of guy in particular and I've seen AND felt the damage done by when people get too taken in to politics. I've upset AND been upset with enough people as it is just because I want to keep politics OUT of what I do, so if you can't leave your politics at the door when you wish to talk to me, I will have to turn you away for damage control sake just to avoid repeats of past experience.

Alright. Well, since I'm in desperate need of new friends OR even some forgotten faces to come help me, I sincerely await the results with interest as to who I hope to count on in the coming year. With the OLD chapters in my life crashing down, I may as well prepare for a NEW chapter in my life even if it means starting from the beginning again...since I'm already doing that a lot in my offline life too, so why not? Anyway, hope to hear from you all!
