Since you gave me the permission to I will, otherwise I'd leave it lol. But yea, here's hopin'.

Done and Dooooone. Carry on folks.~

If me bolding and making it type face that large wasn't enough... ((oh and making the text yellow cause I'm a butthead.)) I don't know what else I can do to stress this. TALK TO ME ABOUT MY STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUFF. I want to talk about it... like seriously... I want to discuss this stuff with the people who enjoy reading it. Tell me things you loved and that made you laugh, why you like characters, if they remind you of something. My favourite thing in my writing career thus far is ((and I won't name who.)) told me that a character reminded them of themselves. That she identified with a character I ahd written on a personal level. Seriously... it wasn't feedback and it wasn't criticism. It was just talking to me about my work. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE do it more! I cannot stress this enough. I want to enjoy the banter between fans and myself and just people that really like my work. You'll see that everytime someone asks something or they talk about something in one of my threads... I always answer. BECAUSE I WANT TO DISCUSS MY WORK XD. Why else write it if I can't talk about it? Also, Commander, would you mind if I pin this thread? On the condition you fix the black text though in the spoilers cause man... I shouldn't have to highlight something to be able to read it properly lol.

I'll probably pin it currently until I work out the directory that I'll be making for this forum at some point. ((like other forums have.)) On an aside you can easily grab a quote from elsewhere, hit the quote button and copy the quote from the reply box and paste that. It works just like regular text. Example, the first post from Heartless Souls IC

Things i want to address. On point 1. Holy heck yeeeeeeees. I swear no one ever gives feedback especially for me. I know I'm the mod and stuff and I feel like fro some reason this intimidates people into like... never giving me any feedback lol. Because they are afraid that they don't know enough etc... or that they can't be constructive. Wanna know how to be constructive? Tell me annnnnnything. Tell me what you personally liked, what you thought was cool, if a characters feels awesome to you , if they connect to you. Seriously... it makes me smile like an idiot when people say those things. Like Shadow Sketches just mentioning in Heartless that he loves Babble and Barbara... makes me so happy and feel like writing them is just soooooo damn worth it. Really and honestly just that makes me feel so great. I try to do so as a host at times as well when I really really want to make a player know I love something they did or really enjoyed it. I try to as much as I can. Honestly think I don't do it enough. But I really love a lot of what my players are doing. Really, Heartless I love you guys. You've been a really fun group and I enjoy that some of you are really starting to embrace what I'm trying to do. Sorry I'm dropping the ball on you guys a lot. on 3, we could stand some more of that. ISmple doesn't necessarily mean bad. It's a balance of detail and keeping it brief that is needed. That way, we get a lot of what is going on, but people trying to keep up aren't overwhelmed like crazy. ((it's why I'm breaking up Heartless posts more, since they are fuuuuuucking huge otherwise. I could have done the entire scene of the prologue already, but.... no one wants to read that monster in the middle of a bunch of interactions... so I've been cutting it up into digestable pieces. I honestly still think the part with Solomon and TImes was... way too long...

I'll leave further discussion on my part until I get Heartless actually rolling. WHich i'll admit I'm slacking on a bit. However early signs show some players are embracing it. ((SHadow Sketches and Stratos really are.))

No, it is me! HUKUNA! Will SPine be next? Tune in next time to, the Predict the next post thread!

It happens Chim. No worries Mate. It was still pretty fun while it lasted. No hard feelings man. ANd I do hope thing chill out for you a bit since thigns jsut seem to be going crazy for you right now.

He's simple for sure. He takes more positioning based skills and trying to be in the right place. But he synergizes with tanky AP items and has a huge portion of damage from his Passive which does a lot of the work itself in some regards. He's definitely not as much of an auto-pilot champ as people think he is, but he doesn't have a lot of crazy interactions in his abilities. You got to think about how you are moving a lot though due to both his passive and his E: Comet of Legend. So, in short. He is incentivised to buy more forgiving items in his base build ((since he has more AoE persistent damage then burst.)), he has a kit that relies around his passive dealing solid damage over a span of time, ((his W extending the reach and damage, both in actual damage and speed of the passive proc.)) all of his skills play with what is his "Outer Limit" ((where the stars extend to on W toggle.)) so it's easy to grasp his ranges but more the idea of how he works. Starsurge is probably the hardest ability in his kit in regards to that since it technically has infinite range so long as it doesn't leave Sol's Outer limit. ((if he follows it his limit obviously moves with him.)) but even that isn't too hard to grasp imo. Basically, Sol has a low ground floor and it's easy to be effective and do the job he's meant to do, but there's plenty of small tricks and things to learn to master him. ((Example, if your passive is close to someone you can cast W to push it through them and then snapcast it off to pull it back through them dealing damage twice. Once form the W and once regular passive damage. might help secure someone who at that point is suuuuper low. There's a lot of little tihngs like that.))

kk, hopefully not full by then. I'm already in two XD.

Lotus Contiello, Countess Sybil Contiello, Count Heinrich Contiello, Azegeor, Lord Cyllis, Redeemer Riika, Father Babble, Barbara, Iidrra, Look, a lot of people ok? Time: 1st Day, of the 1st Month, of the Year of Rebirth. 3:00 PM Babble watched as Lotus ate the Dream Pocket in a way he never saw before. He almost envied it. That she could do something that he couldn't. Especially with regards to eating food. That just wasn't fair. Not ooooone bit. He nearly pouted but he was enjoying the show. He clapped his hands together {{and trust me... it sounded as strange as you imagine it would.}} as she finished and received her leaf. A coveted prize indeed. Well at least to Babble. He didn't really know how true the stories were, but he wanted to believe them. He wanted to believe them with all of his heart. His dream... that he could understand people and be better at people... and stuff. So far it had yet to come true. But, he hoped it would some day. He didn't want to dislike people, or to not understand them. However, he couldn't help it really. He just wasn't cut out for it. He wanted to be though. But he wasn't.... but he wanted to be. However before he could really respond to what Lotus had said, or even Barbara could for that matter, Heinrich crashed his feet onto the table with a loud clatter. His well polished dress shoes shining a brilliant jet black. They were spotless, and a marvel to behold. How they were that immaculately clean was unknown, however they were shining jewels sitting up on the table. Heinrich was holding a red apple in his hand and he bit into it with a loud satisfying crunch. It was loud, and it even sounded like it was full of flavour. The Castle had a wonderful indoor greenhouse affixed with artificial sunlight. It was so well made that it didn't even have any inadvertent effects on the fruits and vegetables that were grown there. The fruit was probably more divine than things found out in the wild due to each being within their perfect growing conditions. The artificial light could be adjusted, as well as the state of the soil in each planter by a well laid system. It produced some of the most purely wonderful produce in the world. It was well made, created with the utmost of care by one of the original denizens of the Castle. He was perhaps one of the greatest botanists they ever had. He'd known as a Treant. Either way, Babble was startled by the sudden noise. It stunned him a bit as he wasn't expecting it. Barbara wasn't much either herself. Iidrra shot him a disgustingly dirty look. His stinger even popping out into full view for awhile. Cyllis seemed to not notice, but anyone who was really paying attention would notice he was purposefully looking away from the disgrace he was witnessing. Riika... being a suit of armour after all, was impossible to discern. Cannonball Joe, only laughed... seemed to be his response to everything. Lilith was trying to calm down Iidrra, though it seemed to not really do much. He only really put his stinger away but other than that his mood had not much changed. "So... Babble. Are we removing Fredric the Purple's Benediction this year? I mean... who really wants to sit through that slooooooog of a speech when the guy wasn't respected let alone was really even Nightlord for more than a week." to anyone else this would be harmless question. People did very much hate the Benediction of the 8th Castle lord. It was... much too long for a man that was in charge for all but a week. The Bloody week king... sure had a mouth that ran a mile a minute and really loved the sound of his own voice. People wondered on how earth he ever ended up as the Night Lord if no one liked him... and others yet say that's why he got that job. SO that someone would just get rid of the bastard. Either way it was a common complaint at every benediction. However, it being brought up here was a signal. Heinrich was telling Babble the plan was in motion tonight. That another Lord was about to find himself usurped, just like the Bloody Week King. Babble didn't really answer. He was more or less to stricken to do so. That and he wasn't really one that got along with Heinrich much. He always wondered why Azegeor made Heinrich relay the messages to him. Either way it was Barbara who spoke up. "Look Heinrich... we don't like it either, but we can't really do much about it. It's tradition. Sssssadly... we have to listen to that... bumbling buffoon's mark on history every year." Clearly emotion in her voice. It was hard to pin down as what it was, but Barbara let slip something when she hissed like that. She didn't typically have that issue when her emotions were under control. But, she was probably upset by how Heinrich startled Babble. She stared at him for a bit. A sort of... tension hung in the air between them for awhile.

First I have all y'all added and I didn't get one... what gives? ((second I'm being a buttheas.)) Also question... and I don't know if it's been mentioned it here... it probably has, but has anyone noticed that Sol's taunt to Taric mentions him being an aspect? Quote in question. Taunting an Enemy Taric: "You're an Aspect? Let me guess - tackiness." And aren't the aspects the special warriors that ascended to the summit of Targon? At least, this is what is implied of Leona, Pantheon, and Diana thus far if anyone's been reading the Targon stuff. ((which I being a super lore nerd for anything I play, have done so.)). There is still a champion even missing from the list. The three mentioned there and now Sol are already filled in but there's another slot for a hero to go in there as the fifth icon is still empty. Reason being, Taric is still one of the outstanding "I've been summoned from another world." type champions. In his background of current it currently states he was summoned from elsewhere this being why only he can use Gemstone magic. With his entire rework ((Visual and gameplay.)) I ahve a feeling Riot will use this as their ticket to make him fit somewhere within the world of Runeterra as they have written it. And, with a Champion who has high disdain for Targon ((Sol.)) calling him an aspect it seems that they will push for Taric to be made somehow related to Targon. He might be an outsider as it's been mentioned that people from all over the world take pilgrimages to Targon to try and reach the summit. However, so far we've only seen those who live there succeed. Feels like an interesting thing to mention that the mountain chooses who is worthy to climb it. Even further, Riot made suuuuuuuper sure to make it clear the Taric Rework was the next thing on the docket after Mister Star Dragon. All of this coinciding with the Targon lore stuff that has been released. Sol took the first empty slot so... I think Taric will be taking the second. Just feels like what they would do. It also keeps the fact that Taric's magic is pretty unique since the Aspects are as we know so far... pretty crazy and the embodiment of some concept and their powers relate to that. ((Pantheon is War, Leaona the Sun and Diana the Moon.)) So.. Taric quite possibly the earth or Runeterra. I mean the Planet we live on is usually considered a celestial body in the scheme of things and gems come from the earth. So far every other "Summoned from another world" champ has been retconned to fit elsewhere in the world of Runeterra. Anivia to the Freljord, and Nasus and Renekton to Shurima. If there's others outstanding that have... i forgot who they were. oooops? Dunno. It doesn't seem like a coincidence to meeee. Also sorry if this was mentioned already. I just kind noticed it and it was like on the brain XD. So I jsut thought I'd put it here XD. Also, on a playing note... is it jsut me or has top kinda been... really weird this season? I dunno what it is but I really jsut don't care for it as much as I did. ANd I don't know why... because this type of meta is kinda a meta I should thrive in. Tanks and Brusiers meant for busting them are... pretty much my style of champion. And... yet I find myself not really caring for it this Season very much. Weirdly enough I've kinda gravitated to a role I used to hate in Bot Lane as an ADC or playing marksman mid with a splash of control mages. It's... just really strange to me. I can't put my finger on why I jsut... don't really like it anymore but it's jsut feels off to me now. It's really odd as a top main to be honest. I've been a top main for 4 seasons now, this one being the first I've not really been wanting to stick with the lane. Just... a strange thing really that's been buggin' me a toooooooooooooooooooon. Like... I still wanna love it and what not, I jsut really can't enjoy it like I used to.

I'll be honest, there's a reason I've not yet commented in here. And it's because well 1. I was a bit behind on what was going on. That's on me. But 2... because anytime I personally ask for stuff to go in a different direction, I've been blown off and ignored. Now, I'll admit I'm not the clearest at times whith communicating what I mean... it happens. But It's happened to happen quite a few times where I'll ask that we move along from a conversation of said nature. I don't mind a lewd joke or two, or a little comment here or there. That's fine by me. What I do mind is that whenever one is made everyone else feels like it's time to jump on the bandwagon and make the chat only about that. And when I have asked in the past about things, they don't stop. And yes, I know I'm not on the server much, but this is really the reason why. Because anytime I am this stuff happens and when i ask that we take another direction to said conversation I'm just ignored. Really. I am. So, rather than just be ignored anyway, I just go do other things. Because the server is never a comfortable place for me to be. I say 1 thing and badly word it, ((or sometimes I'll say something that isn't even close to being borderline and people do it anyway)) and then the chat suddenly piles on and turns something I said int something like that. And then chat is about that for typically a long while. To the point I just don't want to deal with it anymore. Because I really don't like having to police everything and anything I say because if I make a typo by accident I'll become the butt of jokes that I don't really care for, for the next like... 10 to 20 minutes. And trust me, maybe it's been in my own way but I do say for people to move on, but they don't. Plenty of times I've expressed that I don't really are for shipping. Do I mind if it comes up a little bit? No. It doesn't bother me. but as soon as it's done once the whole chat becomes about it the next 10 mintues to upwards of an hour at times. And if I do ask, all people do is give me a "Well, jsut leave then" or a "It's just in fun don't take it so seriously". I get it enough to know that when chat becomes about a thing that I'm not comfortable with and if I ask about it to go in another direction that I personally am only met with "Sorry, leave." Pretty much everytime. That's my personal experience. So, I personally don't buy the "If you ask we'll stop" thing. Because anytime I do ask, it does nothing. TO the point I jsut don't like being on the server because it frequently gets to that point anytime I am on. I'll readily admit, things in that area don't sit well with me with people that I'm not EXTREMELY good friends with because in those scerinos they make me very uncomfortable. I don't liek talking aobut that stuff in the vicinity of folks that don't know me... really at all. Even people I'm close to I'm hesitant to. It's just not soemthing for me and it really never will be. I shouldn't have to bring up a certain running joke that kept going despite multiple times I asked it to stop. But I will. Because it would happen all the time despite what I said. I've got way too many experiences with things where I do ask and try to be polite about it, but it doesn't work. It happens all too often for me here. ANd it's why I choose t not really partake in the Server. Because I don't feel safe personally. Like really at all. Because even when i try to be clear in my meaning adn say that I'm not really comfortable with something well... me doing that doesn't matter unless I get loud about it. ((and that's not something I should feel I should have to do to be heard.)) Now... what I will say is that what Rose has been saying is exactly what we are trying to do. We aren't trying to quell it entirely from the chat at all. Quite the contrary. Because we get it, some people are just more comfortable with that sort of stuff and some more naturally float around that kind of humour etc. There's nothing wrong with that. It's when it snowballs ((like it often does, at least half the time when I'm on.)) that is. Trust me, I don't mind a passing comment, or an off-color joke. ((I love those jokes in the right setting.)). Seriously... I know some don't mind but try putting yourself in someone like me's shoes. I don't really like attention especially of that kind. So, when a small comment I made suddenly turns into the whole chat going on about it for quite a lot of time... imagine how I feel about it. It really does make me feel unwlecome, or gross. Like people are piling on me to tell me to get the heck out. Because to me it's not a funny little joke. It's directly mocking me. Even if I know that it is one, it still feels like it isn't. It feels like I started the whole ball rolling and that my mistake nets me being the butt of everyone's jokes for the next few minutes or even hours. ((or with a certain joke... pretty much a few months.)) It's not something that is very condusive to me wanting to stick around. I've been told pleeeeenty times people want me to stick around this place or that I am in fact wanted here in this community. However, they don't show me that. They only seem to feel that way once I've expressed myself a second time ((or fifth... sixth, seventh.)) and that I'm jsut at my boiling point because nobody every stops until I am and I legitimately get upset and can't handle it anymore. This is the thing we are trying to stop. We're not trying to change you, and we're not trying to say NEVER say these things. We're trying to put a light on that when you do say them, that maybe... think about others and how they feel about what's going on. Because we want folks to feel welcome. We want everyone too. That is our goal as auth. Mayhaps some of the words used come off as that we want crackdown or get more strict. That's not the case. So, if there was a bit of a misunderstanding there... I get it. But trust me... we want the best for what's going on. At the very least, I want the best for the server and the forums here. I want the very best, the UTMOST best. I wouldn't be trying this hard to make the RP forum a great place if I didn't. I wouldn't be trying to foster the CW forum. I certainly wouldn't be posting here. I want you guys to know that I care about this place a lot. and I want as many people as there can be to feel at home here. This place has more or less been my home away from home for 2 years now. I can;t say that much for the server because there I feel... like I'm not supposed to be there because people give me a clear message that I don't matter enough to even listen to. Just... keep these things in mind. We aren't out to get you. We never were. I'm apologize for any misunderstandings etc.. but remember, that people do mess up from time to time. Even groups of them. Words are a hard thing to use. Especially on the internet where there is 0 inflection, or body language to help further a message and what it's intent and meaning truly are. We'll hit crossroads at times... It happens.

Maaaaaaan... broke my perfect losing streak.

This... probably isn't the thread for this to be honest XD. But in short... if you aren't selling it and credit the creator of said piece it should be fine. However, I doooooon't recommend using a lot of that. Keep it at a minimum. Cause the more of it your have, the easier it is for more parties to jump all over ya about it. If you must, find remixes etc... or versions of the music that way ((and make sure to credit the creator of that piece.)) or have your team on the fan-game. ((whether it's a one man team of just you or an actual team is irrelevant.)) make your ow n remixes or original work. If you must use Copyrighted stuff... do it. But it's probably best to stray away as much as humanly possible. Also, since I'm feeling generous have a 6.

except not. Because your 6 Scarlet.
