RWBY crossing over with JL in March is kinda cool.

Back when I rp'd Pokemon pretty heavily I helped staff a site called Years To Remember. It was based around an old fan trailer of Pokemon in a darker setting. Battling was basically illegal and took place in underground rings. Team Rocket controlled all of Kanto and you were either a rebel, a rocket, or someone trying to get by.

My character was a fiery youth named Michael (back when I struggled to think up character names so I used my own) who lost his parents because Team Rocket set their house on fire. Rather that be afraid of it - he used it as motivation. Turning the thing that changed his life into his weapon.

The character was rough around the edges but he wasn't an edgelord or anything. He was just focused. He had one goal: Destroy Team Rocket and nothing else but that mattered. He was good at it too. There were Rocket characters actively looking for him, he was inspiring other rebels, it was nice. Even got to plot towards him rescuing Victini from Team Rocket and using it as his ace.

(I got cool a template graphic made for em too that I still have)

Everything changed for him when he met Cherise. She was a street performer and used her Pokemon to entertain civilians. Sometimes she'd cause distractions for the rebels when it was needed. The plot between them hadn't started out as a romance. Michael had been involved with someone else at the time (a Rocket no less) but it ended up there. The two just got along. She made him smile, he made her laugh, and for once he realized there was more to life than revenge.

I remember me and her player had a nice romantic thread in our underground base. He was struggling to tell her how he felt, she sang him a song, he said he loved her, she kissed him, and it was amazing.

In fact - their relationship was so good that when YTR died off me and Cherise's player created our own site. All just so we could to keep playing them. Anarchy Rising. The plot of the site was basically just a timeskip of Years To Remember and in a different region. V1 of Anarchy came and went so we made a V2. This time we flooded Hoenn, had Cherise 'die' when it flooded - Michael pulled a Squall (FF8 character) and changed his name to Kaiden (mostly cause it felt weird using my name. The character wasn't me - I just sucked with names). Her death changed him, he'd seen a lot of people die at this point, but her death impacted him the most.

He hardened, starting drinking to numb the pain - still fought the good fight but it wasn't the same. He still had one of her Pokemon too. A Fletchinder that we had plotted blamed em for her dying. Meanwhile, Cherise hadn't died but was brainwashed and gonna be used against the rebels.

Real fanficy but we were having fun.

Sadly, we never got to get into any of that stuff because Anarchy v2 kinda just feel apart. Largely due to us dealing with real life and not having the time to invest in staffing a Pokemon site. I tried to revamp it once or twice but it was never truly the same.

It sticks with me so much because I've never had a plot like it again. Hell, I've never had another roleplay partner quite like Fel either. She was willing to a create whole websites with me just to so we could keep writing together. We were good friends.

I miss her.

We still check-up on another from time to time but she's so busy with life that she doesn't rp anymore. It sucks.

Question: What's one thing you'd wish done but didn't for one reason or another?

It's not an anime but it's got enough anime troupes that it might as well be one.

Kingdom Hearts. shocker I know.

The franchise legit shaped my childhood and is the only reason I'm roleplaying.

Magic. A sky full of worlds. Ridiculously key-swords. I can't help but love it.

Ghost of Tsushima is a visual masterpiece. I often forget I'm playing a game and just get lost in the scenery.

Always welcome to gush to me about it. I bug you enough about stuff too. Like, where's a dude gotta start to get into it??

I just wanna gush about something I'm working on or spring board ideas off of someone times. But I also don't want to be a bother.

Tis difficult, very difficult.

Anyone else remember when Mato Kuroi/Black Rock Shooter was a popular FC choice?

Depression and ADHD is such a horrible combination of things. Why are you like this brain? WHY!?!?!?

Currently working on an original setting and wanted to share something from it.
