Which moment made you first fall in love with your character or decide to roleplay them? What's your favourite moment they have in canon, if it's different to your first answer? And what's your favourite moment in game with them?

Helena's semi nude drug induced flashback scene where she wrestles her long dead parents.

spoiler alert she drew the one on the left

WHAT THE HELL? THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE FATHER AND DAUGHTER.

[goodburger]

also my favorite in-game moment is without question this stupid fucking shit

[whocouldwinarabbit]

i didn't even have to open the link to know what this was

[goodburger]

I'M A WOMAN OF SIMPLE PLEASURES, ARCHIE

I think the moment when final destination: roleplay account happened was when he took over a teenage girl's tumblr and had a bunch of his captives type creepypasta about how awesome he is, like murdering a bunch of policemen with superbeast blasting in the background because he is a class act

my favorite thing i've gotten to have him do in the city is send Jay over a hundred copies of Hostel on blu-ray and DVD

[intothewoods]

Goodwill better fucking prepare itself this Christmas

he is getting rid of this shit

[linsanity]

I made my Lin account after this scene (sorry for the bad quality but it's super hard to find Korra videos that aren't incredibly stupid music videos).

If I have to pick a single defining must-play-her moment for Minako...

...it would have to be that, unlike her male counterpart, when Takaya starts in with his "kill me" speech after his final boss fight, she gets the opportunity to reply, "'kay."

She doesn't actually get to follow through with it (and I personally prefer to decline because he wants to die and making him live to see himself proved wrong is a much better punishment), but just the fact that the option is there kinda blew me away.

[xxii_thefool]

Also, my favorite in-game moment is this even though it hasn't happened yet.

I am just so sad right now because I thought we had gotten a Tobias in the game.

Anyway. The moment I wanted to play april was...well. All of it. But probably cemented it.

Also, half of this is the stuff that didn't make it into the show. And is amazing.

[nevernude]

i do have this account i've never used

is that enough

[aggressiveapathy]

Only once it's apped

DAMIAN | There's a scene in Batman&Robin #12 when Talia tells him that he's an enemy of the house of al Ghul, and his response is that he hopes he can be a worthy one. That was the moment I fell in love, but it was only after I'd gotten my feet wet with more DC that I actively decided to play him.

CLINT | There's a scene in Hawkeye&Mockingbird #6 when Cap gives Clint a peptalk, and though it's not a crowning moment of awesome, it really showed a guy at his lowest point picking up and trying to move forward. That's what convinced me to read the rest of his canon.

MONICA | Either this scene or this one.

[intothewoods]

JESSICA: What are you doing?
JAY: I'm filming a documentary.
JESSICA: Oh, what's it about?
JAY: Uh, hotels!

there is a reason I have an "oh jay honey no" tag on my tumblr

[whocouldwinarabbit]

jay is getting this for his birthday

[intothewoods]

oh my god

Alastair: I have no idea when I actually fell for him. I kind of always liked him in canon (villainy aside) and cosplayed him, but it wasn't until I was bored and looking to branch out from my single-fandom game that I actually made the journal for him. He was my first non-Suikoden journal, made for derping around dressing rooms. Lo, all that derping with Kaibas and Yugis in various dressing rooms made me realize he could work in a game setting, and he was pretty much stuck with me.

Favorite canon moment: combination of completely pwning Kaiba in their first duel to the point that the only way Kaiba didn't lose was because of Deus Ex Machina Plot Hole Card literally appearing in his deck out of thin air, and the moment he gives up in their second duel and allows Kaiba to beat him in order to save all their lives.
Favorite game moment: everything with Kiryu. Dueling Kaiba at the moment Soundwave exploded. Fighting zombies with Kiryu.

Sanji: I have no idea when I fell in love with him reading the manga. I just know that when I was finally looking for a second character in C&C, and had caught up on 530 chapters of One Piece in the space of about 10 days, he was one of the top characters who grabbed me as someone who would be fun to RP. I actually asked here in spam in a poll! I don't remember if he won the poll or just putting it up made me think about placing him over the other contenders. After starting to play him, though, it completely solidified that he's my favorite - though I love most of the characters no matter what, he's my first and foremost love.

Favorite canon moment: attempting to save Zoro's life from Kuma at Thriller Bark.
Favorite game moment: oh god so many. His two fights with Hichigo stand out though.

Kotetsu: it was love at first sight. First episode, right when he finds out his sponsor company closed and his Hero contract was bought out by Apollon, and he became life's punching bag. I loved him so, right there. Deciding to RP him was just a matter of 'why don't we have a T&B cast in a superhero game? I must rectify this!'

Favorite canon moment: throwing himself in front of a crossbow bolt for Barnaby's sake. Yes I have a thing for guys who sacrifice themselves bravely for their best friends.
Favorite game moment: dunno yet, he's still new and hasn't made much of an impact! Although his log with Felicia was pretty spectacular, I enjoyed writing him trying so damn hard and yet failing.

Oh Christ uhhhhh day one for Mitch. POLITICS? IN MY FUCKING COMIC BOOKS? It was pretty much meant to be from the first issue, and I danced around with the idea for a month before I said fuck it and apped.

Uhh, favorite moment in canon is probably...uh christ, you want me to fucking pick? No I'm being serious I literally can't pick a favorite. It's only fifty issues, that's allowed to be my favorite as a whole.

And as for in-game, shit, I'd say one of my favorite moments was when he got elected :') Although seriously, just like the game, I can't pick a favorite moment, I love them all

[dingus]

i liked karkat from the moment he was introduced. what made him my favorite character was realizing just how complex and layered a character he really is. the distinct difference between the karkat he wants to be and tries to be and the karkat he really is. the scope of his self sabotage and self loathing. how despite the fact that he's a callous, rude, hotheaded and sometimes self absorbed insensitive dickwad he's also a very emotional, vulnerable child who genuinely cares about each and every one of his friends. even the assholes. not to mention how out-and-out hilarious he is.

i was still pretty adamant on not playing him even so, though. never ever, i would say, i can't come up with insults and rants like that. he's too complicated for me. but eventually a group of my friends were looking for a karkat for a private musebox game thing we were doing and after some begging and puppy dog eyes in my direction i reluctantly agreed to fill the spot until we found another one. i'm going to hate this, i thought. i'm going to suck so bad, this is a terrible idea, i don't want to do this.

and then i couldn't stop. to my surprise, the challenge of playing karkat was incredibly fun and kind of addictive. and i haven't been able to put him down since then, which was about a year ago!

my favorite moment in canon for karkat is a tie between him telling jade he gave her entire universe cancer aaaaand that time he got smacked in the face with a bucket.

my favorite thing i've gotten to have karkat do in game is also not something i can choose, so you're getting a top five.

that time he and gamzee went to the juggalo gathering with kenny from south park, that time he went on a date with vriska, had a food fight and got kicked out of and banned from mcdonalds, that time he had takeout with a dragon and she transformed into a naked lady, that time karkat made a very heterosexual rap

and last but not least

that time he went to a girl's night in, got made over by all of them, played spin the bottle and made out with half of them, went on an underwear raid, got into a nerf gun war, played truth or dare and wore a skirt.

[goodburger]

i don't have the words to express my joy at that first one
oh my god

[dingus]

they got down with the clown
karkat doesnt really understand why gamzee hates juggalos so much tbh
they were nice until he pissed them all off

[shipper]

So actually I'd already decided to play Nepeta before I ever got into Homestuck. Back in the day when Homestuck accounts were just starting to trickle onto memes and Dear Mun I scanned the wiki pages of all the characters and vowed that if I was ever stupid enough to get into this clusterfuck I was totally going to play Nepeta because oh god she's so cute.

And then I got into this clusterfuck of a canon and pretty much went OK FUCK EVERYONE IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR ME TO PLAY BUT I PROMISED I WOULD TRY NEPETA AND GOD DAMN IT I KEEP PROMISES. Unfortunately in the process of 'trying' her I ended up being pressganged into a game and everything was downhill from there.

Honestly though, I really love Nepeta as a character because she's this wonderful mishmash of dissonant traits that might be unsettling if it weren't for the fact that she's so sincere about everything she does. She's loyal but not afraid to call friends out on being dipshits and truly wants everyone to be happy to the point of placing it above her own happiness. She's too open with her feelings and too trusting in people's better nature but still sees and reacts to the emotional undercurrents around her. Also everything related to her crush on Karkat just kills me a little inside. Every Serenade remix just twists the knife a little deeper.

My favorite moments in canon for Nepeta is the Seek the highb100d flash, her really mature discussion with Equius, and her whaling on some poor game monsters.

As to favorite in-game moments, I haven't been in C&C long enough to get some super favorites so I'll link favorites from my last game if that is ok?

In which Nepeta argues with Karkat about Spartans and then proceeds to host the TEA PARTY OF THRONES.

There was also the time she had to fight a brainwashed mutated Davesprite and Equius during SHODANce Party.

And of course there was the time she started a Stair-Kicking Brigade with Bro.

You know. Usual stuff.

[dingus]

why did you have to remind me serenade exists

now i have to go listen to it and weep about leos and cancers

I had really enjoyed the first two short stories that Kang and his engineering regiment had been in because my dad was a Seabee (which is pretty much military construction/engineering) and I just have a thing for strong leadery military types that have a greyscale morality, but I think the moment I truly fell in love with him was in the first novel, The Doom Brigade. In the beginning of it, he has a lot of internal thoughts about how lacking females meant that his race had no future, and how he really wanted to leave something behind, some sort of accomplishment; there should be more to life than daily duties, occasional raiding of the dwarves for survival, and getting drunk every night. It's just such a relatable feeling.

As for a favorite moment in canon, it's impossible to pick just one. It's a tie between:

- catapulting a dead-drunk minotaur and killing a dragon with said minotaur's horns in midflight,

- building a fake dragon out of wicker as a prank against insubordinate draconians

- building another fake dragon that was also a bomb to be used against goblins and hobgoblins

- all of his total awkwardness when he found out that Fonrar was in love with him and the sudden realization that it was reciprocated

- "After the war, I came to realize that it was the hate that was killing us. Hate kills everything. The only way we had a chance to survive was to stop hating and start living. That's why I think the babies were given into our care."

- “Do you dream of growing old by the fire, Huzzad?” Kang asked. “Old and wrinkled, white-haired? Bouncing grandchildren on your knee?”

“No, I don’t,” she said. “But you do, Kang.”

- "Even when you saw him killing good men and using their souls to create mindless nincompoops who walk and talk and salute anything in a fancy tabard." Kang regarded Mitrat in disgust. "No, you didn't say a word. You know why? Because the poor soulless bastards Maranta was creating were no different from yourself!"

- "I told you they're all idiots." Slith snorted.

"You keep telling them that long enough, and they'll start to believe it."


I don't... really have a favorite moment in game yet.
