Bruce Banner in current MCU canon - starting with Incredible Hulk and continuing, obviously into, Avengers - has no backstory. Most use the comic canon one, with abusive alcoholic daddy. Which is great, definitely not bashing. What's not broke, don't fix, and all that.

What I'm wondering is: why don't more people use the established history from the 2003's Hulk? Aside from the fact the movie got unduly flogged nine ways to Sunday, of course. Mad scientist father who tries to kill you seems much more traumatizing than the comic's version. (From what I've seen; I'm not familiar with comics at all).

TIH was written as a reboot/sequel, after all. Think about it: 2003's version ends with Banner in South America (oh, yeah, spoiler alert: he doesn't die in the film), and TIH starts at roughly the same place. Drop the opening credits montage and they go together seamlessly.

Thor actually isn't as good a brother to Loki as he thinks he is.

Sokka overdosed on cactus juice between series.

I think Yachiru was the manifestation of Kenpachi's zanpaku'tou ALL ALONG.

What happened to the weekly meme roundup?

I miss having them around...

[bottecellie]

People get busy, they forget; it happens. But, if you want one, I'll try to have one up by tomorrow.

Game of Thrones

[hero_of_smiles]

So far I've seen 13 episodes and I look at some of the women who are or have become knights. I look at Arya and think "You'll get your dream Arya, don't give up! \;^;/"

spoiler: no one in this series gets their dreams

[gunslingerqueen]

I'm still not sure if I should watch that or not but I really want to, in a way. Why?

'Cause dragons.

Memes you want to see

Something like TFLN, but with a new twist would be nice

Re: Memes you want to see

Less from Love Hotel, personally. I'm not opposed to sex memes or anything, but it does seem like there's a lot of them. :/

[(Anonymous)]

This may be a silly question, but how open are you guys here to someone they don't know tagging them in memes? I've been out of the RP scene since the start of this year. I don't have the time or energy to get into a game yet, but sometimes I want to do a meme but I know next to no one who tags into them. I just don't want to put anyone off by throwing a complete stranger at them.

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't mind if anybody I didn't know tagged any of mine, if it was an open meme.

AU and Crossover ideas

[(Anonymous)]

Ranma and Inuyasha

[(Anonymous)]

These two canons take place in same world.

The youkai went and interbred with humans massively in the Inu-Yasha verse, eventually leading to the world of Ranma, in which low powered superpowers are very common.

Suggestion!

[leekspins]

This is just a little thing for me, but I think most memes don't need a 'wild card' option, since you're rolling up a number at random to begin with! Just for future reference.

Sorry, I don't agree

[(Anonymous)]

Not all lists are RNGs, and lot of people don't bother rolling anything even if they are, and just choose whatever option they like.

I like the options which you get to do anything you want.

Suggestion - Make RNGs Optional

[(Anonymous)]

Just make an list of suggestions, and leave the options of using RNGs if they can't decide what to use.

Re: Suggestion - Make RNGs Optional

[(Anonymous)]

I thought that was implied already? It's an optional meme to start with. You're not forced to using the RNG if you don't want. You could lie about your number; no one would give a shit.

[(Anonymous)]

More memes that require you to NOT leave your comment blank.

THIS!

Ridiculous plots I never thought I would want.

[gunslingerqueen]

I don't have a parent fetish or whatever (though there isn't anything wrong with this and now I can see the appeal), even if I'm into incest in most situations, but I really want someone to be Nariko's adopted father and then have the relationship become more (of course lots of internal conflict and emotions and all that. Very lengthy.). I like the idea of an adopted family so that exacerbates the desire.

I feel so dirty that this plot idea basically came from the father's day meme, augh.

Also more mun communication? It'd be nice to get to know the people I tag with a little and talk about characters or whatever. Maybe I am just too sappy 8l.

Re: Ridiculous plots I never thought I would want.

[(Anonymous)]

Re: mun communication - there's always PMs for that? That's really not meant to be snippy or sarcastic, either. (Even if it is difficult to guess tone of voice from text). But I mean--you can always communicate the mun that way? Personally, I just get a tiny lil thrill when another random mun contacts me with plot ideas.

Prose vs. Action Tags: Is there a preference?

[(Anonymous)]

So I come from a different background than journal-based RP, and the idea of 'action' tags is a completely new thing to me and I really feel awkward writing them. Still, new format, new social rules, so I am trying to adapt!

But then I saw prose tags being used by other people and it was like a warm fuzzy blanket of familiarity that I could burrow beneath.

But then I started to worry -- people must be using action tags as the common format for a reason. What if I'm pissing people off, etc. etc. insert socially inept nerdling moment here.

Do people actually have a preference one over the other? Should I check before prosing?

Re: Prose vs. Action Tags: Is there a preference?

[(Anonymous)]

I'll do both, but I much prefer prose tags.

How about a shout out to some of the wonderful RPers here that keep this community going?

keeping non-sex options open

[(Anonymous)]

I notice a lot of memes may be for something that doesn't have to be about sex but the post makes it all about sex. If we're playing Hide and Seek or something, why not write it so I can throw both kid and adult characters at it?

Re: Death of the Author - valid? preferable? relevant?

[(Anonymous)]

I think that once the canon is 'out there', it basically stands on it's own.

Further input from the writer/director/actors, etc, is interesting in it's own right but not that important.
