The Emo Wardrobe

Oh and as a follow-up to my post, I wear jeans and a t-shirt almost every day.

ALSO some quasi-semi-pro-goth/emo dealies!

1) Some kids are goth because they are poor and can't afford anything other than dark coats from Goodwill and their dad's hand-me-down 1980 rock shirts.

2) Some kids are emo because on some girls it actually looks really good. This tends to be like Emo Lite, however--less obtrusive bangs, for example. I've only known one guy who I thought looked good as an emo and he's huge (in SHEER BODY MASS (tall and strong), he's not fat). He also had brown hair that was only kinda spiked but he wore the clothes.

The Emo Wardrobe

I have known of two successful emos and they weren't even true emos; they didn't have the mindset. They simply liked black tanktops, striped shirts and little pink hairclips. Right now they are respectable young adults--with faults of course, but they realize what kentona is saying.

Also, that is TWO.

TWO out of the THREE THOUSAND or so kids that I've met. That's not an exaggeration, as I go a large school, have lots of friends, meet friends of friends, and most importantly I work with children/adolescents.



BTW you can conform and still be yourself! I'd like to bring MYSELF ZOMG as an example of this. I'm a fairly well-respected kid at my school, and everybody in my grade knows who I am. A large chunk of the younger classmen know me as well as quite a few Freshmen. Every morning I do my "daily rounds" and visit people, collect stickers (I am a stickerphilliac) and commented on because I park so far away from the school. So there's POPULARITY in check. As for scholastic achievements? I'm not the absolute best student, but all of my classes are AP or Honors. Beyond the actual classes that I take, I manage to forge cordial relationships with my teachers and I consider almost all of them my friends. Yesterday a baby boomer told me that I was one of her favorite students. There's EDUCATION and BRIDGING THE GENERATION GAP (super-important to be "yourself" in my book) all taken care of.

What's left? Uh, what about ideals/morals... I'm not going to focus on this because while I'm anti-alcohol/smoking/drugs/HALO there are plenty of teens that seem like DRUGGIES or EMO DRUNKS or whatever but really aren't so no comment here!

Alright let's compare the BEING YOURSELF-O-METER with that of an Emo Kid.

POPULARITY: Okay so you stand in the same part of the hallway every morning before classes. Same people. Same topics. ...yeah.
EDUCATION: Ugggggh my teachers are OUT TO GET ME I am perfectly bright but I spend too much time channelling my intelligence into being pretty annoying because IT IS COOL TO NOT DO WORK (this is not just an Emo problem but bear with me here)
BRIDGING THE GENERATION GAP (super-important!): Dad why do you always steal my mascara I need it to make a good impression on my eigth boyfriend this week YOU SUCK YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A KIIIIDDDDDDDDDD

Flame me plz

MODIFY: Damn, I forgot a conlusion. OKAY HERE GOES

To be yourself, you need to be somewhat known even if not surrounded by fans or anything. You need to be able to put your best foot forward in both social circles and education without making a total fool out of yourself (really bad shyness could be a problem here but uh most you call "shy" are actually just scared of you so be nice to them okay!). Most importantly, you need to be able to successfully communicate with other generations. Being able to do so means that they (the wise people) realize you aren't just some bratty punk but rather somebody who can actually make a coherent thought and not whine communicating it!

THE FAITH OF A MUSTARD SEED

asdnvahggisadl I LOVE YOU for referencing my second-favorite quote ever (you are referencing the Bible right?).

Ask to be Medieval Personage! [1 Week Only][Roman names later!]

No I am a pomme terre frit.

can I post a question about dodorian here?

:< I'm pretty sure that I count as a fan, too!

Ask to be Medieval Personage! [1 Week Only][Roman names later!]

Did you just say that he was an APPLE OF FRANCE...?

Character Profile

:<

I really don't see the point in this.... in my mind, blurbs like the character intros in FF6 or FF12's A RABBITGIRL WITH WEAPONSKILLS or whatever are way better than any detailed list.

Seriously, who needs to know about the hero's grandparents? Maybe if they get killed by the villain... boohoo?

Eh. Maybe I haven't played enough serious, character-focused RPG stories?

MODIFY: Okay this would be great for D&D or something, but in a console/PC RPG all the dialogue and interactions are canned. So, like... why? kentona, I know you've always wanted to make GOOD CHARACTERS but you don't really need a list like that to do it. Just write a short blurb about them and use it!

I feel that these lists are TOO RESTRICTING. Once you make one you're like I PUT ALL THIS THOUGHT INTO A BUNCH OF PIXELS NOW I HAVE TO FORCE IT DOWN THE PLAYER'S THROAT RARRRRRGH

If you're worried about not fleshing out your characters enough, pretend to be them and take a myspace quiz or a CLICHE-O-METER quiz. If you have a whim that the character would lie about a question-- not because you wrote down BALTHIER LIES ABOUT THE STONE but because you randomly thought of an answer while pretending to be the character.
