Stupid Busy October

Posted on by Nolan Slover (Note Worthy)

Well, as of late my mind and muse have been kinda cranked into overdrive with the want to do things. The problem I have is that I don’t have enough time with which to do said creating. With people in the house that would wonder what the HELL was wrong with me for doing it, making it all the harder to let my muse run its course for October. This weekend I’m booked ALL of Saturday with a thing at church, live tweeting the next episode of Pony, and then meeting my friends at the Mall for our monthly get-together. Sunday after church is our Fall picnic. Then we’re back to Monday and five days of work before my first chance to do anything with voice work next Saturday, providing that doesn’t get turned to a working weekend. AFTER THAT, I’m off to TWO, yes two, conventions. Nightmare Nights and Ciderfest the next weekend.

My quandary lies in my lack of knowledge of the subject matter. I’ve played very few video games and didn’t even make it through Night 1 of FNAF 2. Not only that, but… I like what I do to be as original as possible. With Cate already doing her Phantom Mod asks, it seems–to my mind at least–that to do something similar is one step past plagiarism.

I have made up my mind though; I’m going to create something. Just not 100% sure what that something will be yet.

I thought I was ready.

Thought I could handle it.

Well…

The place was easy to find.  It was.  After all, how many creepy pizza stores are there in a given area of town?

Once I… stepped in…

*nervous laughter*

They’re… mostly friendly.   Mostly.

I get the feeling I should cancel my upcoming plans.  M-might be here a while.

But, it’s fine, I mean… you can always find me here… just n-need to be brave enough.

Anyway, I… need to go.  They… want to talk to me some more.

voice ask meme!

i really wanted to make one ok

send me a number and i’ll make an audio post with the prompt!

  1. I’ll say my own URL, and
    where it came from
  2. I’ll talk about my favorite foods
  3. I’ll talk about my favorite outfit
  4. I’ll talk about my siblings
  5. I’ll talk about what I did today
  6. I’ll talk about something I’m obsessed with/currently interested
    in
  7. I’ll sing verses from a song
  8. I’ll read a page from a book
  9. I’ll say a sentence in an accent that isn’t mine
  10. I’ll describe where I’m sitting at the moment
  11. I’ll talk about my pets/what pets I want
  12. I’ll talk about my sexuality
  13. I’ll talk about my favorite character
  14. I’ll talk about something embarrassing that happened to me
  15. I’ll talk about a dream I had
  16. I’ll tell a story

  19. I’ll talk about something I’m proud of
  20. I’ll talk about the music I’m listening to at the moment
  21. I’ll talk about something that bothers me
  22. I’ll talk about something that makes me happy
  23. I’ll talk in a voice I don’t usually use
  24. I’ll talk about something! (my choice)
  25. I’ll talk about something! (your choice)

 ask away! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Could be a good place to start for me!  I don’t really know what I’d do… probably #23 because that’s a great way to practice with a voice I don’t use day to day as… well, communication in my line of work is, shall we say, important.  If one were to use a voice that would make communication difficult, it would look bad for my company as well as myself as a person.

Actually, there’s… this would be a good writing exercise as well.  Now I just need time.  And no flooding.  Maybe, if you’re all lucky, I will post a picture on my Facebook and Twitter of my in my duck suit for work tomorrow if it’s raining again (I really hope it isn’t).

Hello, my name is Octoberspirit, and I would like to address some shit.

I’ve been active in internet fandoms since I was about fourteen, and I’m nearly twenty-six now, so I have a bit of experience in this general area.

Toxic people exist in fandoms. Fandoms are not immune; toxic people are everywhere. As a fan community gets larger, the number of toxic people will increase. It’s more of a math thing than anything. 

Toxicity comes in various flavors. Some people set out to be assholes. Some people set out to prove their superiority by putting others down. Some people really want to start fights and will take any excuse to do so. Some people are just following leads and taking sides.

The fandom is not imploding. Toxic people do not outnumber nontoxic people. They’re just louder.

The problems set in when the community tries to make enemies of the assholes. Responding to the toxic shit just boosts it to the forefront, and makes it difficult to see the good parts of the community. In this arena, the best response to toxicity is to ignore it and to continue doing what you were doing.

Conflict junkies will get bored and go elsewhere. Genuinely misguided people tend to grow out of it when nobody rises to their bait.

Fandoms don’t implode because of toxic people. Usually, they implode because everyone else gets so caught up in the us vs. them mentality that they lose sight of what brought them to the community in the first place. 

Fandom isn’t a war. There’s no reward for defeating the bad guys. All you’re doing is shooting yourself in the foot and losing something you love.

EDIT: THERE IS NEVER ANY EXCUSE FOR BULLYING SOMEONE. IF YOU BULLY SOMEBODY, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.

Something fandoms need to read.

Yep, basically this.  I don’t know if I’m becoming toxic (I doubt it), but that’s the crux of the bullying issue.
