The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

I don't remember seeing that post, so I honestly didn't know you had an issue with the site. (Nor did I know you had a bad experience with it...)

I could have said nothing, but I figured it would be better to just come out and admit it than not to say anything at all.

That being said, I really feel bad about this, as I did not realize there was a problem.

July obviously has the right to request this, as would any other current or former PPCer (though heaven help us if Jay or Acy ever try it...!).

The Wiki pages for all of July's characters that I can see (three agents, plus four kids) have been wiped back to their ledes and marked as Out-of-Continuity (someone had already done this, I'm not claiming all the credit). The level of deletion is by specific request elsewhere.

I've also removed mention of July and Library from the Coffee Lounge and Nurse Asclepius' pages; as free-to-use concepts, they remain around, but without their sources.

I won't be removing mentions from other agents' pages (they worked with Trojie and Pads, for instance), but anything that is solo July is removed.

I will be poking through the various pages linking to missions when I get a chance to try and remove them.

One little character development thing I've always wanted Ripper to go through is to basically discard his original ambitions to subjugate humanity and his lack of restraint regarding his violent tendencies, since I disliked them in hindsight and found that they made his personality rather flat. His updated temperament is more realistic and interesting to me because carnivorous creatures as a general rule aren't actually aggressive unless defending kills, territory, or relations such as offspring if they have a social structure, and even then they'd rather not risk getting hurt and being unable to hunt. Herbivores don't have the same restraint and their main priority is staying alive, whatever messed with them be darned, which is why many large herbivores like hippos or even cattle and horses cause more human fatalities annually than carnivores do. It's also worth noting was that Ripper's original characterization was basically "KILL FRIGGIN' EVERYTHING" and more akin to the Chaotic Evil raptors from the earlier JP installments and the original two novels, which was justified by their lack of social structure and rectified to some extent by Jurassic World's Raptor Squad. I imagine that since Rips follows his home continuum quite closely he'd come to terms with this change in depiction and adjust his nature accordingly.

It wasn't my intention to go into too much depth regarding Palmeira's adjustment to becoming a character of her own, but the in-universe justification of her accepting that she isn't Canon!Nami after all is that she started doubting that she and said canon were the same as soon as the agents who found her and her crew pressed the charges against them. I guess the other two stubbornly choosing to fight back and getting shattered as a result probably didn't help her case, either.

I might have to go back again and check what usages of "PPC HQ" could be replaced with "PPC Headquarters" or "Headquarters" for better flow. I may need to check on whether the HQ abbreviation is used in other works but I don't see why it couldn't be.

The pronunciation I've seen on the Wiki is "[descriptor]-bang-[character]". I suppose we could roll with the punctuation mark being silent, i.e. Gem!Nami being pronounced as "Gem-Nami".

And the badfic the character who'd become Palmeira comes from made it clear that it was canon!Nami who was kidnapped, tortured, and polymorphed into her gem self from the fic. So that means aside from that grossness, she's largely canon-compliant and doesn't belong specifically because she's a being in the style of one continuum "converted" from a canon native to a different one to the point where she's no longer able to fit in either.

The mission Palmeira and Ripper are going to go into is definitely gonna rectify the relative humor drought, assuming we can actually get around to writing it! Although that's a matter that eatpraylove and I will decide together once we get around to actually writing the good stuff.

When the first parts originally went up, someone brought up linking it on TvTropes. I said no, because I don't like the website for a variety of reasons.

While I understand you might not have seen that request when it happened, you still went a step further by linking it on said website after I had been victimized and ran out of this community, which is still a serious point of contention for me.

The current corner of the internet I spend time in has former PPCers of all stripes and people who know about the PPC in it, and there have been moments of 'Oh aren't you y', which happens, especially if you've been using the same handle as long as I have (roughly sixteen years). Having it happen from someone who isn't a current or former PPCer except for reading things only off of TvTropes and is still under the assumption I am still part of your community is not great.

My posting this was not intended to set off drama or anything else. As a content creator I have the right to remove my works and expect requests to have them removed respected. I didn't want to quietly remove them only for them to go right back up.

I don't care if people keep their own private offline copies or share them via email, but I am still removing what I can online to further distance myself, since it's been shown that letting my PPC works just be is not the option I would prefer it to be.

That said, thank you for standing up and admitting you were the person who added it to the TvTropes website. It would have been very easy to not admit to anything at all.

I like that this wedding was so small and quiet and sweet. After everything Ix and Charlotte have been through, they deserve a moment like that. I also like that it leads with Ix seeing herself as beautiful. Very appropriate!

I like seeing this much calmer version of Velociripper, compared to his original appearances: specifically that while he's no longer being aggressively tough and macho, he's still got elements of predatory dinosaur to him.

I do feel like Citrine accepts her status as a bootleg of a separate canon weirdly quickly, especially when she calls her weapon a copy and refers to the Hinata replacement, a person she has known a long time as "Gem!Hinata." On the other hand, I get that this is an intro piece, and the point wasn't to go through the entire long process of a character coming to terms with their created nature, so . . . yeah.

—doctorlit, catching up

When did this suddenly become focused on greek mythology?

I'm the Otaku Ninja over on Tv Tropes (I have multiple handles across the internet, I guess I just got into the habit.)

I'm surprised July doesn't want it on there, but if I need to, I will remove the offending section. I didn't realize it would be an issue. I apologize for any harm done.

Luckily, Dragonith on deviantArt has you covered.







For reference, Revolver is a fan ability that powers up multi-hit moves (Dual Chop, Double Hit, Spike Cannon, Tail Slap, &c)

July... Are you sure the person who created this link was a member of the PPC? I mean, editing a Tv Tropes page isn't something limited to the members of a community tied to the subject of the pages, Random Fan can happen, and I'd like to know how you have known it was a member of the community who posted this link? I tried to search for the pseudo (The Otaku Ninja) used by the troper, and I didn't see any signs linking this pseudo to someone here on the wiki, the Board or the Discord.

The link mentionned was on the Awesome page of the PPC, and I tried to remove it, explaining it was very much unwanted. We'll see if this holds.

Thanks

It came to my attention a few hours ago that against my desires one of my works was linked on TvTropes, which as this community historically knows makes it impossible to remove anything from once it's been added to their site.

Thanks for enforcing your claim to my existence against my will and continuing to force the connection to this community on me, especially considering this was posted to that site well after you as a group went out of your way to lead a witchhunt on me, dox me, and do your best to destroy my reputation and ruin my life in general.

I'm so displeased about this I don't even have the words to properly put it down via keyboard.

I'm declaring all of my works out of continuity immediately, removing everything I can personally access, and expect all articles and links on the wiki and elsewhere to be appropriately purged.

Charlotte and Ix are so cute together! This was overall a good heartwarming interlude.

Olivine's officiating was also a well-put-together speech. I liked the "never officiated a wedding before" bit.

Now, how're you planning to throw a massive pile of angst on top of this? Because that's presumably what's coming next, no?

"So, how may I be of service?" Chef Matt leaned against the kitchen entrance. He wore a stained apron that seemed to hug his corpulent body a little too much, a bandana on his head, and his glasses had a few specks of flour on them. Strapped to his belt were a ladle, a spatula, and several spice bottles resting comfortably in small holsters.

Agent Jones was bouncing on the balls of her feet, gripping a small stack of photos so hard that there were already visible crumples on them. Her partner, Agent Grey, was standing in the back, fiddling with a pack of cigarettes, completely uninterested in the conversation.

"We need a cake," she stated, almost pressing the photos into the chef's hands. "A big one! Suitable for a wedding!"

Matt cocked an eyebrow as he looked over the photos. All of them showed wedding cakes of various shapes, sizes and colours. Some with overly excessive floral decorations, other with funny crown figurines of the bride and the groom. Some had the names on them, some didn't. Some were singular, some had many layers on them.

"And those are...?" Matt asked.

"References!" VJ beamed. "Lottie's getting married and I want to give her something to make this special day even sweeter!"

"You're just salty ya didn' get an invitation, ain't you, love?" asked William, breaking the seal on the new package. "Told ya, they must've their reasons."

VJ rolled her eyes and turned her head sharply. "I know that, Will! But if I can't be there, at least I can send them something, can't I? All I'm asking is that you magic the cake to them, when it's done!"

William shrugged, and VJ turned back to Matt. "So?"

"I don't need those." The chef dropped the photos into the nearest batch of Slop™. The paper started bubbling and quickly dissolved into a goop that matched the 'dish' in both colour and consistency.

"You want the Perfect Wedding Cake, you'll get the Perfect Wedding Cake. The softest, moistest, most refreshing, yet filling, cake your mind can think of." Matt clapped his hands, opening the kitchen door. Immediately, sounds of cooking, chopping, and gun shots could be heard. A cloud of something glittery escaped through the door.

The Chef turned his head to his customers. "Just give me a little over an hour. And no peeking."

Last time I checked they were friend-locked... I wouldn't mind some wayback links though.

These two have certainly earned this! Now let's raise a glass to the happy couple!

To your union and the hope that you provide, may you always be satisfied!

(Yes, that was a Hamilton reference. Couldn't resist.)

I still love Olivine's speech- it's sweet and to the point.

I'd been thinking of getting over that way this fall- October's a bit later than I'd planned, but it sounds like fun!

Yep, the time's finally come for Charlotte and Ix to tie the knot.

A huge thank you to Delta Juliette and Zingenmir—and their agents—for helping out with this one.

The price and distance aren't too prohibitive, but it would depend on what was going on with Kaitlyn's course. Trouble is, they're spectacularly bad at giving her information in advance... hence possibly maybe. :)

Now I kinda wanna come up with a Pokemon that's an poke-fied WWII battleship...

I especially loved her cover of the first ending theme from Attack on Titan
