+ Though I'm acting like I'm in an EastEnders episode +

[vitaelamorte]

So, as you've vaguely heard from Princess Alice, there is a new event for this weekend!

This event is all about different tropes and cliches, which means of course that I need to link you all to TV Tropes, if you need any ideas. The setting of the scenes the characters are trapped in does NOT need to have anything to do with the character's canon, or even be recognizable to them. Feel free to make your wizards spunky lawyers and your fantasy heroes into bad cops walking slowly away from explosions or whatever comes to mind.

So use this post for plotting! What kind of silly roles are they going to wind up needing to fill? And what horrible things will happen to them when they don't play along? And as always, if you have any questions, the first thread will be a FAQ.

Have fun, everyone!

I have no specific plans with Cordelia, but I'd love to organise anything with anyone who wants to do things with her.

EDIT: Cordelia and Amy are going to be fashion judges and we'd love for some people to scrutinise!

[bossily]

I'd love to do something with her related to cheesy vampire something or another, since they're having that wonderful conversation about them right now. Maybe some sort of really terrible kid's like monster/vampire high school type thing where everyone's something weird. Or we could do a few ridiculous commercial type things, although I'd have no idea what direction to go in with those. But I want Cordy for this event yes.

[tact]

but you are already weird ...

re: high school thing. this would be great! but i am currently drawing blanks on any tropey things there, besides, like, the bella swan or buffy summers type of stuff. you mean that they'd be a supernatural creature?

re: commercials. i cannot think of any commercial tropes because i skip through commericals so if there is one you want to do particularly, lay it on me.

whichever one you want to do, i am game for. i honestly have no preferences at all because i like to be super, super helpful.

[bossily]

Yeah, I had it pulled up earlier and then closed the stupid page SO NOW WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING ELSE bc I only got to that by hitting the random button. I remember the Monster High stuff was listed on the page, so something like that. But that's too close to Cordy's regular life anyway.

And basically I am pulling ideas from the episode of spn itself here but like infomercials, medicine commercials, cheesy feminine product commercials. They can refuse to play the part they're supposed to idk it's 6 am what do you want from me.

[tact]

yes that was one of my unvoiced concerns look i am not thinking particularly straight at the moment

oh i know what episode you are talking about, not that i can remember it except for dean's creepy smile but i would be up for the commercial infomercial SHAMWOW. should they sell dumb shit or stuff that's familiar to their canons? here, have this trusty stake! here, have this not an ordinary telephone booth!

[rulebreaks]

Buffy and Cordy need to do something together :(

[tact]

do you like any particular tropes?

and no sad faces or i will stake you C:.

[rulebreaks]

WOW SORRY THIS TOOK ME A YEAR TO RESPOND TO i suck 8(

i am good with anything as long as it's stupid ok

[tact]

YOU'RE NOT EVEN HELPFUL 8||||

soap opera? like bold and the beautiful, blah blah blah, with all the dramatic shots and the like? if so, i'll write it up as soon as you say yes

(also my icon is randomly selected okay)

[rulebreaks]

SO IS MY ICON TAKE THAT

um what i mean to say is that sounds fabulous and i promise to be more useful in the future ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

[tact]

hurr

i am the slayer of usefulness ADMIT IT BUFF

[swooshycape]

... fashion judges, did you say?

Vincent's costume can never be made fun of too much, so .... perhaps he can wind up there? his stupid boots man

[oncefairytale]

Okay it's a date :3 Any preferences on what not to wear or project runway? He can totally just be the model and they pick apart his cape and he's like THIS RANDOM PERSON DIDN'T MAKE IT. THEY ARE MY CLOTHES!!

[swooshycape]

YES. xD And -- you know, I'm not sure which would be funnier. :|a My first instinct is What Not To Wear, though, so they can play dress up with him. ;D

... and also I've never actually seen project runway, btu I can research this... :3

[oncefairytale]

:'D It'd be hilarious if they had to give him a makeover!

It's pretty much fashion designers make outfits and have models and then people judge the designs.

Whichever you go with I'm game with :3

And, even better, if he didn't want it, the rules of the game would force him to play it out somehow :3

[tact]

don't worry, i have no idea how what not to wear works, but we don't need to follow those shows rules. watch any tv show with high school girls and they're already picking on people for wearing that pink or that skirt.

if you want us to dress him up, let us know! i'm personally up for anything, and i think that that would be a lot of fun. whatever you're comfortable with.

[swooshycape]

\o/ I'm down with that! c:

I'll tag your log for it soon. c:

[appealingavarice]

If they make fun of Greed's outfit it would be hilarious.

Or if they like it.

Either way! \o/

[tact]

is his outfit the one in the icon? because cordelia already has a problem with it. :P

[oncefairytale]

We can make it, if you'd like, where the "designers" have to model their own clothes and then he'll be forced to explain his choices or something!

[appealingavarice]

Or just a What Not To Wear-type thing, either way.

And YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH Greed looks fucking badass in that outfit.

[regretel]

I will volunteer Ange here for some scrutiny. She is from 1998 and also an anime character who always wears there same clothes so...there is plenty to say to her?

(sob it will be like every middle school pack of girls ever I love this idea)

[tact]

Excellent! We have a thing already up! So, if you like, tag Ange in, and hopefully it won't be too traumatic!

[goesdown]

Crowley is up for a judging. They'd better like his well-tailored suits, though. OR ELSE.

[tact]

OF COURSE.

He is like the most well-dressed person here besides Cordelia and Amy!

We have a log thing up if you'd like Crowley to be praised for his fashion sense!
