etcelsior | don't you want me baby

Marvel: Uh, pretty much anyone, with a special request for the Fantastic Four (because Peter's worried about Val). Also Namor or any of the New Avengers!

Spider-Man: Bring all the Spider-People but if specifics help I would really like to see some of the supporting cast types like Peter's friends/family (esp. the ladies) or the Daily Buglers. But seriously app who you want and I'll be over the moon. Any universe welcome!

I'm going to be apping Cassel here next round, and I'd love to have castmates if anybody else knows the series at all.

Me: I'm Amber, I play Stiles Stilinski (

question) here already.

Canon: The Curseworkers Series by Holly Black.
The three books are all available cheaply on Amazon ($25 for all 3), or you can easily find some pdfs if you google. If you're not a big reader, the audiobooks are read by Jesse Eisenberg and they're really well-read. I have the first two uploaded: White Cat and Red Glove.

Synopsis: (From Wiki) In this alternate world story, workers are rare people with magical abilities that sometimes run in families. Using their abilities requires skin contact and is illegal, which is why most workers are part of crime families. About .001% of the population are workers. Of those, about 60% are luck workers, while other skills, such as death working, emotional manipulation, memory manipulation are less common. The rarest worker is one who can change the shape of things.

Cassel Sharpe comes from a family of workers who are part of one of the major crime families, although he believes himself to have no worker abilities. He is the youngest son with a mother in prison for illegally emotionally working people, a dead father, a death-worker grandfather, and two older brothers who work for the nephew and current heir of one the biggest crime families in the area, the Zacharovs.

Characters:
Lila Zacharov is a beautiful, ruthless young woman who grew up with Cassel, and also the heir to the Zacharov family. A lot of her plot is spoilers, but she's something of a femme fatale, and she also has difficulties reconciling being a "regular" girl in high school and the privilege and power of being a mob boss' daughter.

Barron Sharpe is Cassel's older brother, the middle child. A lot of his plot is also spoilers, but he has some memory issues thanks to cursework. Most of the time he's a charming sociopath who enjoys living a flashy life, but he tries to look out for his family.

Sam Yu is Cassel's high school roommate, and the two eventually become friends. The most normal person in Cassel's life, Sam is easy-going to the point of occasionally being a push-over, though he allows Cassel to get him into trouble and seems to enjoy adventure. He is obsessed with B-grade horror films and wants to work in monster makeup and special effects.

Daneca Wasserman is an outspoken girl in Sam and Cassel's year who befriends them. She is a little bit of a hippie and a little bit of a hipster, with her cool clothes and purple-streaked hair. She's kind of the Hermione Granger of the series, believing strongly in worker rights and taking part in various forms of political activism, including school clubs.

(There are a bunch of others but these guys have the most complexity and pagetime, so they'd probably be easiest to play. But I'd love to play with anyone who takes your fancy!)

help i really love this game now

here's my muselist, it's been a long time since i played any of them so they all need canon reviews, but i want to bring a second character in eventually

so if there's anyone in there that you want to see in-game enable away

Dragonlance is about the world of Krynn, one of the campaign worlds for Dungeons and Dragons, and it's chock full of elves and dwarves and kender and dragons and magic and gods.

Don't worry, you don't have to have any knowledge of the game itself to play.

Anyways. While I would love any character from it, the ones I would most like are fellow draconians, specifically Fonrar. I'll go ahead and give some info on a bunch of them.

- Fonrar, Kang's mate, is one that does not put up with shit. When the males wouldn't teach her and the other females how to even use a sword, she decided FUCK THAT we'll learn on our own. She's smart, and tough, and just plain awesome.

Kang misses her and their four kids a lot. >:

- Slith is a nosy, sneaky bastard, and he's totally Kang's BFF. He was the 2IC of the regiment, but when Kang retired, he was promoted to Commander, and pretty quickly became the General of the entire Teyrian army.

Just look at him. Badass.

- Gloth is not the brightest of draconians when it comes to common sense, but he's not a complete idiot, and is a competent officer and engineer. He's deathly afraid of snakes.

- Hanra and Shanra are affectionately known as the sivak twins, the only two adult females so far, and they constantly bicker with each other over the smallest thing. It's just how they work, though. They give Slith, their shared mate, lots of headaches.

- Granak is a HUUUUGE sivak (easily over nine feet tall), and he is the Minister of Information. He's pretty neutral about most things, and very loyal to Kang. He's also a badass fighter, like all draconians, and he once survived a javelin to the back, between the wings in combat, yelling about getting that damn toothpick removed.

- Huzzad is not a draconian! She's a human Knight of Takhisis, has rode dragons into battle, and became a very good friend of Kang, the females, and the other draconians loyal to him. Sadly, she died in combat, and it'd be both heartbreaking and wonderful to see her again.

because this game is rad and I am impossibly weak. Top choices rn are:

- Blackarachnia (Beast Wars)
- Yang Xiao Long (RWBY)
- Nilin Cartier-Wells (Remember Me)
- Blackfire (Teen Titans Animated)

Clarice or Tatsuya!!!

is that clarice

oh goodness oh oh oh if you're comfortable with her enough to app her in i would be over the moon forever

that is all

If you've never heard of Breaking Bad, I've got a whole introduction post about it. And if you're already familiar, then maybe you wanna app me some castmates? Hmmmm? I'd be happy to have literally anyone from the cast. Look, Jesse's already got the makings of a drug empire going here. All he needs is his friends. Or enemies. Or frenemies.

I'm also preparing to app Malvo, so I'd be thrilled about anyone from FX's Fargo. Here's a trailer for that one. It's only 10 episodes, guys. Honestly, you should check it out even if you don't wanna app. It's such a good show.

after seeing how cool the nbc hannibal cast is, clarice is tempting

she'd be so incredibly confused by all of them

I am fairly certain (as evidenced by Cyn below ...) that they would be over the moon for Clarice.

Look I don't want to get in the way of Cyn's hopes and dreams but

I'm just saying

/leans over, whispers "hail hydra, bitch"

I'll watch the movie again and throw her in the test drive and see how I feel about playing her!

You know what you want to do? You want to play a childhood legend, I mean how awesome would it be to play the baddestass tattooed russian santa who used to be a thief or the gorgeous warrior queen tooth fairy, or that guy who froze underwater for a while and came back to join a crack team of legends (Not Captain America, but close. Jack's older than America.) or a... giant boomerang wielding bunny.

Or best yet the sandman himself?

It'd wreck Pitch's day no matter who showed up, so bring on the Guardians!

I'm also apping either Elphaba from Wicked (musical canon) or Reeve from the mess that is Final Fantasy VII... I need someone on team heroes.

i'm just gonna sit here and say oh goodness 5,000 more times

and then realize i owe you a tag I'M ON IT

but why tho

oh god is that the guy
the one you showed me
yes that guy is also good

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU BUT I LOVE CASTMATES MORE

Yes, that is The Guy

you only love me for my stupid icons

OH NO THE GUY
THE GUY

Yomiel just got done being a huge jerk all over Heropa! He possesses people and makes them do things! Man, what a dick! What is his deal even? Where does one get powers like that? What the hell canon is he from, anyway?

Why, I'll tell you. It's a little game called Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. It's available for Nintendo DS, iOS, or even in LP form.

The plot: you just got murdered. Damn. You also lost your memory and have no idea who you are or why you died. Double damn. Now you have one night left on Earth as a ghost to solve your own murder.

And sure, people start dying around you left and right. But conveniently, you also have the power to turn back time and undo other people's deaths. Most of the gameplay involves using your ghost powers to prevent other people from dying by gunshots, heart attacks, or getting crushed by 2-ton plaster chickens.

That is literally all I can tell you without spoilers, because this game is a total mindscrew and you will not see any of it coming.

It's cute, fun, and funny with stylish, smooth animation. It also has some spectacularly wonderful characters to choose from. Like:

- Sissel. Main character. Sarcastic, amnesiac ghost who can turn back time and undo death.
- Lynne. Courageous, cheerful detective who gets killed like, 400 times in one night and copes with it disturbingly well.
- Detective Jowd. Detective-turned-death row inmate with ENIGMATIC PAST of course.
- Inspector Cabanela. Lanky lawman in a white coat who literally dances everywhere he goes.
- Missile. Adorable Pomeranian and the cutest goddamn dog in gaming history. Try me.
- Some black cat idek who this guy is, but he's pretty cute anyway.

So basically even if you don't end up apping from it, you should all play/experience the magnificence that is this game, for the love of all that is good.

In summary: Ghost Trick. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll do the Panic Dance.

Agents of SHIELD: Look I'm not saying everyone should watch and app from Agents of SHIELD... but everyone should watch and app from Agents of SHIELD. I'm just going to relink my comment from last month about badass girls.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy: OKAY SO I'M PUTTING IN AN APP FOR NATHANIEL THIS ROUND and I would give my everything in the universe for a Bartimaeus or a Kitty Jones.

What is it? The Bartimaeus Trilogy is a YA urban fantasy novel trilogy (technically there's a 4th book but it's disconnected) that takes place in AU London.

What's it about? In this AU London, magicians are the Ruling Class and anyone who isn't a magician (ie 95% of the population) is a "commoner." The government is run entirely by magicians. The whole system is disgustingly classist and corrupt. Magicians all scrabble for power for themselves and seem to care about not much else. Enter Bartimaeus, a demon. In fact, enter many demons! Because you see, here's something that the commoners don't know: magicians get most of their magic from demons-- which regular humans can't see. A magician enslaves a demon and has it do his bidding.

Why should I read it? Oh my god you guys. These books are so great, I wasn't even able to properly fathom how good they were as a wee teenager.

1. There's SO much commentary in them about classism and imperialism and paternalism and slavery and dkjhfas. If that sounds like your kinda thing you will not be disappointed.
2. If you like shades of grey, THESE ARE THE BOOKS FOR YOU. Arguably nobody in this series is good. There's only grey, greyer and black. And yet you still root for the main characters anyway.
3. THEY'RE FUNNY AS HECK. There's so much wit and humour and not taking itself seriously in these books, you guys.

Who's appable? Okay so there are three POV characters-- Nathaniel (who I'm apping), Bartimaeus (the eponymous demon), and Kitty Jones. There are other characters who you could make an argument for being appable but I don't think they'd be particularly interesting in a game environment so I'm not going to waste my breath.

Kitty Jones starts out as a poor commoner girl who hangs around on the streets of London with her fellow thug friends, but eventually becomes a resistance fighter against the magician-run government. She also has a natural-born resistance to magic, to the extent that she can survive an attack that should kill a person. She's smart, resourceful, headstrong, defiant, and isn't taking ANY of Nathaniel's bullshit.

Bartimaeus is the smack-talking demon that has the misfortune of being enslaved to Nathaniel. He can make as many as 20 wisecracks a minute and enjoys taunting his master at every possible opportunity. His existence is long suffering and he would like nothing more than for Nathaniel to slip up one day and make a mistake so he can eat the kid for breakfast :'). Oh, he also has angst about a master he became attached to a long time ago. But that's not important.

Anyway even if you have no intention of apping everyone should READ THIS SERIES I love it so much and I have wanted to play from it for almost nearly a decade. Yeah.

Hi yes, Cyn here, the one who plays the guy who can't rhyme for shit from Hannibal (NBC) seriously considering Justin Hammer from MCU once I get my inbox under control. I'd have to do some ~canon review~ first but considering he's so vastly different from comics and the story is also "wtf"-inducing for anyone who's got significant history/involvement with Iron Man stuff...you know, just weighing interest and if anyone would be opposed because lol what even I don't understand this.

jill is not allowed to reply to this
