Nostalgic Ramblings of a Bored Man.

[teamantisocial]

I don't know if anyone will actually read this because the site is so dead that not even I have been checking it lately, but I just wanted to type some stuff because this site made me less stressed and I thought maybe typing out some stuff would do the same.

As you guys probably don't know, I just graduated my 2 year degree and am moving on to art college sometime in the near future. It's not a very relaxing time for me.

Anyways, WWC was a funtastic time. I of course made a lot of friends (a couple of you becoming some of the best friends I've had). Even when stuff was all drama-filled I managed to laugh constantly. The constant Skype conversations and everything were just fantastic and the inspiration for the WWC comic.

When I started I was not good at writing structure, character construction, grammar, and really just anything that has to do with writing haha. I was invited to the IGN Kingdom Hearts cluster fuck of an rp by Tyler. Then I was invited to WWC so the cluster fuckary would stop. My first actual rp was that science fiction one where I wasn't actually a part of the main group, just Robo and Rosie's characters lol. After that the light of my rping life was created. I'm going to be honest, I wasn't initially going to join NHA. Nick was the one that talked me into it, and thus why Fayth and Drake were siblings. I can honestly say that NHA changed my creative life. The millions of failed rps that followed weren't posted in by me as much as NHA was. In fact, I don't think I made it to ten posts in anything else. And of course KH:E happened. I joined but I despised the weak little character that I created and quit. Later when I played Re:Coded and Days I really craved Kingdom Hearts again and so I created Dante. Dante wasn't very popular among you guys I think, but it was my way of being super crazy and annoying without doing it in person. I really enjoyed playing him. Except in Agrabah because I really didn't enjoy that level in Kingdom Hearts to begin with. Also Slash's character had some sort of back story there and I wasn't having that shit.

So back to NHA. I've constantly attempted to draw a comic for NHA but I'm never happy with the art and I honestly don't think I ever will be. So by that logic I doubt that NHA will ever become anything more than a fond memory. I really did wish we could finish year one though. I even had a hope that we could rp the aftermath of year one with a time skip, but everyone had their lives and even though we got to the beginning of the climax of year one WWC died. One post a few months later. Another a couple weeks. Then nothing. It was sad to me and it wasn't even my rp. But I loved the story and the characters enough that it may as well have been. I hope one day I can get over my high expectations in my art for it and it can be seen by more. I actually even rewrote the Hare arc. I have the lead up to it finished and may even finish the whole arc the way I originally wanted it to be. I'll attach the lead up. I rewrote how Jin lost his arm. And actually rewrote how Jin's arm works. Sifth would hate it.

Anyway I'm rambling. I really do miss rping with everyone and actually just miss rping like crazy. I thought about joining the local D&D games but haven't brought myself to commit that kind of social suicide yet. I even thought about trying to rally everyone into just logging on for one week. In that week I thought about everyone rping as hardcore as they possibly could and maybe even finish unfinished rps. After that week is up, everyone could just log off and go on with their lives after tying up those loose ends. It was just a random thought that popped into my head at one point, but I really think I wouldn't be able to rally like that anymore lol.

This site was a lot of fun and really just made my life a whole lot easier for the few years it was active. Through the dying and the several triumphant comebacks that no one thought would happen, it finally succumbed to one last death. I'm happy I was a part of this and if someone has actually read this I'm glad you did. This was the last post from Teamantisocial. Laters.

Fuck you Caleb, you made me tear up a little. :c

Seriously though, I feel the same way. I love this place, it was next natural step for my online life after my beginnings on IGN. IGN was my high school life, this place was really senior year of high school and onward into my early days of college. Hard to believe that now all I've really done is keep up with everyone on Facebook and post on the Vesti.

This place helped me so much in my creative writing though. I found a real love for writing RPing here. RPing on IGN was more just a fun distraction. Here though, getting involved with the real meat of the plots, the long Skype discussions trying to figure out what to do with you and Carol and Moon and sometimes Dan and whoever else was involved.... I think that alone made me so much more creative. I loved how even the most ridiculous things we made work. Food monster? What the fuck was that shit? But it was amazing.

Shit, I even loved KH:E, at times more than NHA. Sure my character is probably the most vanilla of all of my characters (and that's saying something) but KH:E was a brilliant way for me to express my own personal love of Kingdom Hearts. From the storyline to even just editing the music playlist for every little moment. (I had too much fun doing that. I fucking obsessed over it at times.)

Maybe someday soon I'll write up and post how the Evil Calvin arc was eventually supposed to go. It was a brilliant twisting web of things that Carol and I created as far back as the Hare arc (we were planning this shit FOR AGES!!) and I hate that I never got to pull that final big fucking plot twist on everyone. I think I may write it as a short story and post it, although there would of course be limited character involvement from the others since I honestly wouldn't feel right writing for someone else's characters.

Maybe this thread can serve as a memorial/place where people can get overly emotional and love on WWC. Fuck this, might as well use my admin powers and sticky this shit.

Obligatory Song, Ho!



Anyways, had lots of great memories here. Can't say I was perfect at it, but I did get better over time. I still do RP at another place (it's a Persona RP for anyone who cares) and it's great.

Nonetheless, we've formed a bond that cannot be broken. We have formed the WWC Social Link.

Sorry I don't have much to say. We've had a lotta fun.

Guess we gotta bring this back

I love you all.

Also, I learned so much from all of you. As I'm sure you all are painfully aware, I was extremely naive, both in the field of creative writing and in general. Shardd reflected that, to an intense degreee, though I absolutely loved writing a shim and wouldn't have given it up for the world.

The opportunity to come here, join in the undertakings...the brief period of time I was actually active in NHA, which was very enjoyable while I was in it...and, of course, playing an earthbender named Shenk was a wonderful opportunity, to be able to be a part from the beginning, rather than joining in the middle, after everyone had carved out a social niche. Sometimes, especially with NHA, I wouldn't post because I felt overwhelmed, often because of you, Carol, and how wonderful everyone but me seemed to be at writing.

But it helped me grow, as a writer, and as a person. You guys helped me to follow my heart, keep writing, and persist until I became much better, and I still have improving to do, even now.

I just want to thank you guys; I never would have come this far without you.
