On board the intro train

[martianimalism]

Hello fellow newbies, welcome to the game!

I'm Reine, just as new as all of you and just as excited to play in this game with everyone! I'll be playing Beast Boy aka Garfield Logan from Young Justice (tv). He's a cheerful 13 year old kid who loves nature (and animals in particular) and horrible jokes. He's very affectionate and friendly too, quick to tease and kind of lacks what you call a personal space.

He's also probably going to ogle all your digimon and study them like his life depends on it oops.

I'm taking him from Episode 19 of Season 2, which miiight mean spoilers so if you are watching this series/would rather not be spoiled anyway, let me know! He's a yapper, but I can always pick topics that would avoid canon.

If you wanna plot/contact me, hit me up at plurk as flirterers or on aim/gmail with the same name. Nice to meet y'all and hope we have fun together!

I don't know I just wanted to poke you here, neighbor.

who is your partner, monkey boy?

[martianimalism]

You're just jealous I got a JL member as my partner. HOW COOL IS THAT?

[brentwood]

It's a mistake and you know it!!

Now what if Hawkmon digivolves into Hawkman... does that mean the gates to the Digital world and Real world finally did break down?

[martianimalism]

Nuh-uh, it's totally a sign.

I'm gonna be in the Justice League~ and that's... a really scary thought.

[brentwood]

Way to go. You freaked yourself out and the game hasn't started yet.

[martianimalism]

Whose fault is that, huh?

[brentwood]

Do you need an answer? Really?

[martianimalism]

We all know that it all leads back to you anyway.

[for_granite]

I'm thinking of all the very amusing things that can happen, especially if the other Beast Boy's revisions go through. :>

Hi, I'm Ashley, I love Gar a ton and am looking forward to playing with him. ^^

[martianimalism]

Hey hey Ashley! And totally seeing shenanigans here with two BBs for her to play with. Looking forward to it too!

[renegadedriving]

BEAST BOY ♥

Okay so I'd probably be cooing at you about Young Justice right now, except that I opened your plurk to friend you, saw you have Billy as your icon, and promptly freaked out. Young Avengers bro fist, y/n?

(I'm Alien, by the way)

[martianimalism]

lmao HI ALIEN

And yes yes yes! Ahaha it's so hard for me to find fans of YA, so that is making me legit excited yo. (Also I will accept all the brofists dude.)

[renegadedriving]

We are now YA fanbros. I have declared it. MY COPY OF THE MOST RECENT ISSUE STILL NEEDS TO COME IN THE MAIL...

[martianimalism]

SCREAM are we talking about 3 because you need to read 3. Also can we fast forward to 6 already so I can get Tommy back?

[renegadedriving]

YEP WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 3 I'm going to eat marvel's subscription service not even kidding. yes please I miss him

ALSO I'M STILL SO GLAD THE FIGHT IN THE FIRST ISSUE DIDN'T BREAK TEDDY AND BILLY UP the panic on tumblr after the previews came out scared me

[martianimalism]

I try not to take tumblr seriously they like to blow things out of proportion just by a hair flip so I just wait for the next issue always /DEADCAT Me too gosh for a speedster it takes him forever to appear in YA ALL THE TIME.

LMAO I didn't even think they would break up from that when I read it, but then I also think that Teddy's the type to forgive easily, just got into the heat of the moment oops.

[renegadedriving]

oh man if I read one more post about hair being 'too gay' I'm going to backflip out a window he's gotta show up 15 issues late with starbucks to be cool, man

It wouldn't have been in character for them to break up, really, but I'm always nervous about things like that. Comics have a habit of randomly killing my ships. :c But seriously, Teddy is such a sweetheart, he's my favorite.

[martianimalism]

lmao I admit I just wasn't fond of the sudden art shift and ended up agreeing at first with that, then backtracked, reread the series and decided the hair is the same, it's just a really really different art style/mood that I am still trying to get used to. He better show up with venti sized drinks for everyone. Also bring his new friend along.

That makes sense--- aaand probably why I am afraid of touching any comics now of my favorite characters sob. TIME TO HIT UP NEW SERIES.

[renegadedriving]

Yeah, I can't say I was a huge fan of the hair at first, but people are really obsessed with proving that they've become MORE GAY OH NO and pairing the hair with them kissing more and some joke Teddy made and it's just. Guys. Guys no.

X-Men comic fandom is pain, everyone breaks up every three minutes.

[martianimalism]

The funny thing about that is Billy and Teddy have shown random bouts of the same attitude in previous issues so I wasn't quite sure where the hate was from. Wait, no, I cry foul at Teddy's eggplant color scheme. FOUL I SAY.

Does this mean I should wait for another hundred issues before I try X-Men then? ngl my only exposure to Marvel are old cartoons and YA, and a bit of Runaways and currently getting into Ultimate Spiderman because MILES IS THE CUTEST THING EVER.

[renegadedriving]

It's like people decided to take the "oh no" as the important part of "oh no they're cute" purple. nightwing. THEY REPLACED HIM WITH STEPH...

Don't tell me that, man, I'm a massive marvel nerd, I'll try to introduce you to so many things. And oh my god Miles is so cute I can't even handle him.

[martianimalism]

tbf I half expected it because there was a slow rising tension coming from Billy's camp of the fandom since CC, I just didn't think it would start with a very fabulous hairflip (which, if given the right fanartist, actually looks really good to me.) See, this reminds me of how Teddy was originally supposed to be a girl based on Lindsay Lohan WAIT SCRATCH EVERYTHING I REREAD THE EXCERPT AND AM NOT SURE HOW I MISUNDERSTOOD THAT she's just Hulkling who is really a girl derp.

Go introduce me to stuff! I'm a Batfam girl so all the things I know are Batfam and occasionally fab five feelings and EVERYTHING THAT HURTS IN THE NEW 52. Yes Miles is just too cute for this world. Someone needs to play him.

[renegadedriving]

People will fight about anything in comic fandom, it's actually pretty damn entertaining most of the time. (Kaciart draws them so well it makes me want to cry.) oh man I remember reading about that they ended up going with the gender confusion thing with Xavin instead but I'M GLAD TEDDY ENDED UP AS TEDDY idk he just works so well exactly how he is

Oh god what the reboot did to the bat family is goddamn tragic, Damian was my Robin when I first got into comics and I'm still so mad, and we won't even talk about what they did to poor Jaime. FOR THE RECORD, Jaime's incarnation of Blue Beetle is actually my favorite superhero! I kinda squealed like a pig when he showed up in YJ, not gonna lie. Petition for spider-baby in the dw roleplay circles.

SO ARE YOU INTERESTED IN X-BOOKS AT ALL? Because I read like. All of them. And you really do need help if you're attempting to backread for mutants AT ALL, they're all over the place. I don't read any current Avengers stuff, but I'm pretty useful for backreading on them as well! And young heroes. Just. In general, Marvel OR DC.

[martianimalism]

I am still new to the comics fandom (like Dec 2012 new) but I have seen this yes. Sometimes I just watch for entertainment. (oh god I know, right? Also morethnus, if you've seen their art.) SAME HERE I mean I would probably not know what to do with a Teddy like Xavin because I like Xavin as Xavin and Teddy as Teddy

I read the Blue Beetle comics of the reboot and I went all 'wtf did I just read' granted I've never read Blue Beetle before (my only exposure is TT comics, Batman Brave and the Bold and YJ ahahahahaaaaa) but I didn't mind it as much, just that it felt too dark and gritty for the personality they set so kind of awkward. BUT GODS WHAT THEY DID TO DAMIAN which I... wasn't expecting because why kill a kid. I'm just crying over what happened to the whole family, but for me Dick is my favorite ever so destroying almost everything I loved about him has been painful.

YES I AM. lmao I don't think I can ever play from X-books but I do wanna follow some I just dunno where to start.

[renegadedriving]

I've only got a little under two years under my belt, but I went completely nuts over the summer and was reading 30ish comics a day. Whoops. (Oh, I like that style! Is morethnus their tumblr?) Plus, it'd change the teddybilly dynamic and I just. it's so good the way it is

Oh god, try the old series, it's so good, the family relationships and support from friends and man, I just completely 100% recommend it. The characters are so real. And it's funny too. BUT YEAH SERIOUSLY DAMIAN, BABY. I'm seriously so sad about how they took Damian from Dick, and took all of his friends away and just. Ruined his life. And then there's what they're doing to Tim and why does Jason have Dick's friends and just. Ugh.

OH YEP THIS IS ME. I could never RP any of the X-Men, they just have TOO MUCH HISTORY. I'm constantly in the process of debating Jaime and Teddy, but nobody else, really.

But anyways! Do you want to start with the 90s stuff?

[martianimalism]

Ahhhh I miss the days I had time to do just that. Now it feels like a challenge just reading 5 issues in a day. (And yes, yes it is.) Yep, agreed. This one works well already, so no more changes please.

I will have to do this when I can find issues. I've been trying to hound old Batgirl issues because Steeeeeeeph. This is why I stick to the old issues wooo.

TEDDY. I'd try to drag you in my game but it's all horror and gore and I don't think Billy would want bf there to die a horrible death le cries.

Yes please! /also random icon is go

[acceptedburden]

HELLO FELLOW YOUNG JUSTICE PLAYER REINE! I'm Erica (playing Kaldur obviously, but from Season 1). Don't worry about spoilers though, I saw I just would rather play Kaldur from before all of that.

Let the confusing time line shenanigans commence!

[martianimalism]

lmao Gar is going to feel so weird knowing things Kaldur and Wally doesn't like

GUYS WHY

ALSO DO YOU REMEMBER HIM WHEN HE WAS 9 this will end up with a nostalgia train I'm feeling.

[acceptedburden]

It is okay. I am sure it will be fine. Although trying to explain the whole undercover thing might be interesting.
Wait...Kaldur wasn't in that episode was he? I need to double check

[martianimalism]

Nope, I don't think so. Le cries.

And then I remembered Gar had a Kaldur poster in his room.

[acceptedburden]

BAAAAW.

GAR <3

[changelingdude]

What up dude? [brofist]

[martianimalism]

Aww yea look at these two handsome guys rooming together.
