Hello, and welcome aBoard! For your newbie gift, take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!
Definitely do go ahead and finish reading TOS—it and the Constitution are pretty much the only must-reads around here.
We also have a Discord channel if you wanna drop by and say hi! Hope you like it here!
Hello hello! I've been debating on whether or not to finally post here, but I guess I am.
So, I like to call myself SquidBoi. I've read some of the missions, but I still have a lot to go, including finally finishing the original missions ^^;. I play video games (Pokemon, Megaman, and Danganronpa are some of my favorites), and I draw sometimes too. I am also a big fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (though I haven't finished Part 7 yet).
I have accounts on tumblr, discord, deviantart, youtube, and reddit (where I recently posted a story on nosleep that I'm actually kind of proud of), so if you wanna chat there sometime hit me up and I can tell you my usernames and such.
I look forward to getting to know some of y'all, and hopefully contributing some of my own missions in the future!
*Fights through the pile of dust on top of him.*
Oh. Right. New person. Hello! Greetings, welcome, salutations, and a whole host of other welcoming comments. Welcome to the PPC, hope you survive the experience.
Have..... um.... an old tea bag and a bag of dust. You never know when it may come in handy.
Congratulations on joining the PPC! Have a Mary-Sue Lego figure.
Thank you very much for the warm welcome and the Lego figure, but it's getting glitter everywhere and I think I got some in my eye.
Suspend it in super-glue.
Welcome aBoard! Everything I wanted to say has been said, I think, so, have these voidkittens! Basically just holes in spacetime that acts like kittens. Be careful with them, I got them from someone else and they'd probably be mad at me if they got hurt. Though I don't know how this could exactly happen.
Are they like black holes? Will they suck in my hand if I try to pet them?
I see you already reached out to the community at the Discord. Good job with the social initiative!
So, I took a look at your DeviantArt, and I like what I've seen so far. It might not be much, but it's shows promise. Nothing that can't get better with practice.(And you had legitimate art classes I'm so jelly)
How often do you draw or practice? Do you have a routine or practice pointers? I hope you don't mind, I'm just curious.
Have a complimentary jar of kimchi, a portion of my infinite paper and an ultra fine point sharpie!
I hope you enjoy your stay!
Thanks! It usually takes me like a heck ton of effort to just start a conversation so I'm feeling pretty confident at the moment.
I haven't really drawn much in a while, except for obligatory art class projects and the Stray Cat doodle. I've just kind of been stuck in this rut where I can't seem to get up and draw. I know I need a looooot more practice though. I don't really have a routine, I guess.
Oh man, I know how that feels. At least you got yourself interacting with the community immediately instead of bottling yourself up out of fear of messing up. The fact that you have just enough determination to jump straight into live chat with no plan is still a feat worth commending. Good job.
So, you're in a rut and need practice? If you haven't discovered this yet, may I recommend Draw a Box?
Furthermore, I suggest that you try to work 10 minute practice sessions into your daily schedule. Try to find a certain time in your day that you can easily spare free time from and work on making it into a habit.
Of course, if you want to.
I'm a newbie myself, but I'm not one to not welcome others!
Here's a milkshake and some Bleepolate. Trust me, you're gonna need it!
Please ave this bag of black-hole chocolate and my welcome.
Have a bag of spicy Poffins. If you can handle them, they'll make you *cool.* Probably.
As you've probably guessed by now, I'm also into the Pokémon games! I still haven't gotten around to finishing Sun, and I'm really kicking myself for it. Sigh. I was raised on Gen IV, and sometime around Gen VI, I tried getting into competitive battling. It didn't work out. Oh, well. I can always EV train my little buddies and then never use them. :'^)
It's great to have another JoJo fan around! I'm still recovering from a condition I call Vento Aureo Fatigue; the arc was just so boring to me that I never mustered the strength to read Stone Ocean. I'm not asking for any spoilers here, but is Part 6 any good? (yes, I know about MiH)
I want to get into competitive battling too, but I keep putting off actually training my team ^^;. What's your current team right now?
Tbh Vento Aureo is one of my favorite parts. Part 6 is pretty good. The stands get really weird though, so sometimes it gets a little hard to follow.
I'll tell you this; Guess is top tier waifu and deserved a bigger role
You'll see what I mean
What's your fav part so far anyway? I think mine's Part 4
I've used Pokémon Showdown, a free online simulator where you pick and choose Pokémon to use and customize their movesets, EVs, and IVs. Iirc, I have a Greninja, a Klefki, a Skarmory, and a Gardevoir on my copy of X; there are others, but I don't remember what they are.
I liked Part 4, too. The inter-character dynamics were great, and of course, there's BEST VILLAIN.
I used Showdown for a little while, but I haven't touched it since. I'd tell you my Moon team, but are you okay with spoilers on postgame pokemon?
We all know though, that the true hero of Part 4 was the ambulance. The whole plot with Enigma kinda ticked me off though. Like, Koichi got kidnapped, so Yukako sohuld've been there kicking that white-haired string bean's butt
But nope
Hello,
I hope you have a wonderful time here.
Here's a poison/steel Pokemon pen.
Just be careful of ground types.
Enjoy!
My boi, SquidBoi!
Welcome, my boi, to the PPC, my boi SquidBoi! My boi!
My gift upon you, SquidBoi, my boi, is a kettle. My boil.
You can punch me if you want, for that. I feel like it would be justice.
Also, you draw things? Oooooh! Larfen like pretty drawings. Who're you on Deviantart (I assume you put your drawings there, considering the 'art' part of the website name.)?
Assuming you're fine with that and such. I mean, I assume you are, but, y'know. Better safe than sorry and such.
Anyhow, welcome, SquidBoy, my boi!
Wow, a kettle! Some tea will go great with dinner! I wonder what's even for diner...
I only have like two drawings up there so far, one's a project for art class and the other's a scrap doodle lol. I'm going to try and post more though.
My DA name's the same, SquidBoi. You got one?
Oh wait, sorry, forgot there was a hyphen in there
It's Squid-Boi
*high-fives* Welcome to the club! I have a Tumblr too; follow me at astraygenius. Mostly I reblog stuff that catches my eye or post pictures of my New Leaf town, though all my missions are on there if you dig through the tags.
What's nosleep for?
Anyway, your newbie gift is...an Inkay and a Rugby Shirt from Splatoon! The shirt comes with Damage Up as its main ability and two subs of Run Speed Up, while the Inkay is just there to look cute. Enjoy! :D
*high fives back*
Nosleep is a subreddit for posting horror stories. There's some pretty gucci stuff there 👌
I've always wanted to play Splatoon! I never got the chance to get a wiiU though ᵟຶᴖ ᵟຶ Hopefully my luck will turn around with Splatoon 2 and the Switch comming out though
Have one of my own shed feathers and a complimentary kit of Spikes!
Have two cents! You'll want to put them into a discussion at some point.
You've answered the usual question about fandoms, so I don't have to ask you it. I can give you a Discord invite so you can join us over there as well.
To be honest I'm not really involved in fandoms too much, mostly out of a combination of my own shyness and some not too pleasant people I've seen around.
Thank you for the invite! (^u^ )
First, as a customary newbie gift, I grant you 128 coffee cherries.
Also, what is your favorite generation? I'm personally divided between fourth and fifth, but I can definitely see any of them.
I've always wanted to try coffee cherries in real life. They sound really good!
I'm really divided myself to be honest. I think it's a tie between gen 6 and 7, though gen 3 holds a special place in my heart.
What generation did you first play Pokemon in?
Hello, and welcome aBoard! For your newbie gift, take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!
Definitely do go ahead and finish reading TOS—it and the Constitution are pretty much the only must-reads around here.
