Unless I come up with something perfect to add, which I highly doubt will happen. Well this is the first I've been able to sit down at the comp for any amount of time this week. And I'm exhausted. If I can't come up with something tonight (later because I'm working on a different project atm) then I'll do my best to find a time tomorrow, because I KNOW I won't be able to the next day...what day is it even right now? I'm not functioning on the standard unit of time over here 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, even if you submit something at the last possible minute, I’m already certain you’ll blow the rest of us out of the water. Or you’ll tie with Disco again. That would be cool with me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh...and other people's concerns. >.> I have a very narrow margin for myself though... BUT WAIT! You're actually serious. This would be fantastic, I've been wanting to illustrate something for a while now. Is this actually comic book material, GN material, LN material, other? Did you have a particular style or medium in mind?

When someone from Team Dean wins this challenge, that win will be in your honor.

Westpark was always kind of … dumb. Well, ineffectual and dumb, but really committed which, naturally, made him a decent foil. One time he got it in his head to troll little old me for whatever reason by changing his avatar to mine. No one would know he was trolling except he would change it within minutes of me changing mine. About that time, he started doing this whole “Scooby Dooby” thing. It was kind of endearing. Anyway, this went on for a bit. A bunch of people started changing their avatars. Westpark started to kind of break character and whine about shit, so being the frustrated wanna be troll that I am, I got the brilliant idea that it would be hilarious to just say “Shut up, Scoob” everytime he was crying about something. It wasn’t comedy gold but I was amusing myself pretty decently for awhile. Then Westpark disappeared - maybe one of his lesbian baby mamas needed help with their future BATHL baby or he was banned - and the my purile humor needed a new outlet. So, never one to give up, I start using it every time someone says somethimg stupid like it’s the sickest burn ever, and people started picking up on it… by saying it back to me. In the end, it didn’t actually end up being a sick burn. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_annoying_one Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Well, that story certainly didn’t disappoint. Thank you, sir. Also, I want you to know that the few times I’ve said “Shut up, Scoob”, I meant it purely as a (poor) joke. Absolutely no disrespect intended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember that he would call me "Fidel" because I once had an alt (that was created out of necessity, of course) called Castrovalva, which was also the name of Peter Davison's first story as the Fifth Doctor, aka the guy who's currently my avatar.

It's kind of hard to say it's inadvertent since I was using myself as the punchline for an insult, but it certainly lost any edge. Now people just say it whenever. Also, he called the babies an ableist offensive term.

It's why I didn't want to do it again, but Scoob had a lot of neat ideas that I just didn't have the energy to try out with a second round so he took over.....which tbh, this turned out way better than expected....but the bottom line is you can't force people to do anything and once the flaking ball starts rolling, it snowballs fast and just kinda takes the wind out of the whole thing. But I didn't want to be pessimistic so I said I'd do what I could from a player's aspect....but trying to corral people that just ghost the whole thing was frustrating and I just don't do frustrating.

I came very close to ghosting this challenge because I didn’t think I’d have time to complete it, and still submit something respectable. All I can say now is…. I’m so glad I didn’t. This was probably my favorite challenge so far. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
