Canon-Sharing Meme

And for the first time in her RPing career, Mei posts a meme with the return of none other than the...

Canon-Sharing Meme


Tired of being the only one who knows how awesome your canon is? Tired of being canon-blind to everyone else's? Well, this is the meme for you.

In the subject line of your comment, list the canon's name, and then in the body, give us some really awesome moments so we can see just what makes your canon tick. If it's a video game, link some playthrough videos. If it's a TV show/movie, maybe there's some episodes/clips available online for free! If it's literature, a comic book, a graphic novel, or manga, you could link to previews, scans, or summaries. Whatever floats your boat, really! Just try to keep things as spoiler free as possible, or provide warnings in the subject line or so forth.

Also, as some of us have slow connection speeds, please link you tube videos rather than embed them.

(Those of us with older dinky computers also appreciate that.)

Check out last year's if you're staring blankly at this post and wondering what's going on!

Now go forth, have fun, and lure people to the Dark Side your canons!

Pump Up The Volume

Pump Up The Volume is a movie that the mun thought NO ONE had ever heard of until she started playing the lead character, and then a surprising number of people occasionally showed up going "OMG I remember that movie", proving yet again, that the mun sucks at predicting that sort of thing.

Made and set in 1990, it's basically an anthem to free speech, self-discovery, self-expression, the right to live your life the way you want, the fact that High School Sucks, and the enduring power of connecting to people instead of hiding in a shell for your entire life.

It's a 90s high school movie, so be prepared for a certain level of cheese, and teenagers being played by people in their 20s, as well as loads and loads of opportunities to say "WHAT THE HELL IS S/HE WEARING". Our Hero Mark is not exempt from this rule, either, but he makes up for that by spending a decent chunk of his screen time taking off his shirt for no reason. Also: Seth Green has a cameo, as does his Amazing 90s Mullet.

To whet your whistle, here's a link to the trailer, featuring a song that most people who've been in Para for the last couple years are probably sick of by now.

The whole shebang, last I checked, can be streamed online here, with one rule attached: if you have a Plurk, you liveplurk that shit and ping me so I can watch you flail, because I love watching people react to this movie.

Oh my gosh. Remember my liveplurk? *Laugh* And you didn't even have to even remotely ask me to. It was me and you and me and Laurel after you went to bed.

Yes people. watch the movie. It's awesome and amazing.

Wait now I wonder if Paige has any WTF is she wearing? outfits? Because she's soooooooo perfect.

She's wearing a vaguely fugly striped sweater in the GIF, and her preppy blazers all have the 80s shoulder pad thing going...

Which reminds me, I need to make you icons...
