gen textin'

a general sort of texting meme




maybe you hate calling people on the phone. maybe you hate talking face to face. maybe you love both of those things but texting is more convenient, or the only option, right now. who knows, I'm not the texting police.

whatever the case, it's time to send some texts. feel free to include initial texts or preferences in your top levels, but it's not required.

piggybacks on that

Did you also just get a strange notification from the System?
peerlesscucumber: (angry | no coming back)

[personal profile] peerlesscucumber 2020-10-09 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
The System's trying to fucking lure me in with extra content! It's a scam! I know it's going to be a scam! What the hell am I going to have to "pay" for its "extra content?" huh? Huh?! I, your father, will not fall for such paltry tricks!

I don't know if it makes me feel better or not that it wasn't just me.

I take it that means you turned it down as well.


[ Okay there was a part of Airplane that was curious... but then the rest of him remembered what happened the one time he trusted the System and its "scenario pusher"! Too good and awful a time, no repeats, thank you! ]
peerlesscucumber: (headache | what i'm supposed to do)

[personal profile] peerlesscucumber 2020-10-09 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
Emphatically! Repeatedly! Did you see the New Game+? Do you even want to consider how that possibly works?!

[ all scenario pushers lead to shitty payouts, thanks, he wants both refunded ]

... I didn't get offered a New Game+

What the fuck would a New Game+ be?! Rewrite the whole story AGAIN?! Doesn't it know you can only reboot a franchise so many times before people are sick of it?!

I told the system unless it lets me change the shitty tragic backstories written in for everyone, no game! I'm not reliving this all again! One lifetime is enough! Screw the fans!

And there's no way it would be that. Without the backstories, no one would

[ --wait a second-- ]

Don't you dare call them shitty! Cucumber Bro, take all the pot shots you want at the novel as it was written; we both know it was pandering trash! But the backstories were all things that I crafted with care once upon a time! They were the driving source of conflict, the reason for characters to seek each other out and clash and work together! Just because I threw them out doesn't mean I'm not proud of them!

[ But since when has that mattered to Cucumber... ]

[ . . . ]

The backstories were great! Fuck your mother!

[ How's that for a tl;dr?! ]
peerlesscucumber: (sweat | can you hear the thunder)

[personal profile] peerlesscucumber 2020-10-20 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
The backstories were unpublished and thus made irrelevant by you, Airplane Bro.

Though somehow you did manage to get the rotten girls onto the Yue Qingyuan and Original Goods anyway, what kind of accidental talent was that?

Then don't complain about them!

Don't forget that I did leave hints! But the overwhelming interest of the readership wasn't there, so hints were all that remained!
peerlesscucumber: (gossip | i just can't catch it)

Pander, pander, cater, cater, you did what you did for money, I realise, but it doesn't make it any less shitty!

[personal profile] stupidauthor 2020-11-02 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Go on and call it shit! The pandering, the ease with which Binghe toppled every villain, hundreds of one-off plot devices, the endless parade of women whose brains dissolved for the chance at a single night with him! Selling my pride to eat, I will own up to that!

But don't insult my backstories!
peerlesscucumber: (eat | for a trail to follow again)

As the one who had to suffer to bring them to light: com-fucking-plaining!
stupidauthor: (08)

[personal profile] stupidauthor 2020-11-09 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
And you don't think I suffered?! Who was the one who had to dig up Shang Qinghua's backstory! Who was the one who had to strike his ideas one by one to churn out more trash in the first place!

[ Because these are definitely equivalent to the suffering that Cucumber had to go through. ]
