The muscle transfer thing is weird, but at least it's adult humans. It's actually a fairly minor kink compared to the rest of that stuff.

Yeah, really the mission of her whole cadre of angels was to "train" her (everything was always about training with her) to behave like a normal person. Psychologically it was super messed up. I only stayed friends with her for as long as I did because "Piccolo" was actually cool, and I could only hang out with him through her. If only he'd done what "Parrier" did and take over completely one day to tell me that "Summer was no more," we'd probably still be friends.

Can't people be obsessed with something these days without turning it into a sexual thing?? I mean, I'm way into knitting lately but yarn doesn't turn me on.

To Snapdragon750 and all those others who've contributed especially detailing their experiences with people who were being "possessed" or "abducted" or what the gently caress ever they wanted to call it, thank you. I myself had no idea it was as common a thing amongst the crazies before. She used to do it a fuckload, and I remember she'd occasionally get mad at me because I wouldn't be Sephiroth or whoever for her. I just told her that my powers lay in other areas of life (like bathing and actually getting laid  ) but that wasn't a really good explanation to her or something. Eventually she stopped trying to be animu boy I liked and would just be members of her own harem, or Parrier or whatever. Her personality when she was SHIFTED OMGZ no matter to whom it was, was always exactly the same:- haughty and superior - would look down a lot and sweep her hair to one side to hide one eye - would try to talk deeper - would spot 'enemies' like Summer did - would dramatically close her eyes to have astral battles with them

 I, too, used to do commission work for furres. To be fair, it was an easy way to make money for very little time invested. I was, luckily, able to avoid having to deal with requests for pornographic material but it gets boring after the fifty-seventh "cat girl with wings looking innocent."I really do wish I had some material to give to this amazing thread. I was fortunate enough to never run into people like this. All I've ever had to deal with is the anime obsessed otakus. I used to enjoy anime and did a lot of hunting for obscure shows, but the fandoms really killed any desire to watch anything mainstream, especially the yaoi community. As evidenced in that Supernatural article, it's ridiculous how people can't even fathom the idea of two same sex friends just being friends without wanting to get into one another's pants, and I say that as a lesbian. It's probably dumb of me, but it absolutely infuriates me to see people so obsessed with the Japanese culture only because of anime. It becomes every aspect of who they are. My first roommate in college was nineteen years old and tried to speak Japanese to me when finding out I was born in Okinawa. For the record, I am five foot one and have a very pale complexion. She insisted on us taking our shoes off before entering the apartment, which I always did but never did it herself, and she drank green tea like it went out of style and insisted I buy it for her. Luckily, I had already gotten past my awkward stage and told her to go gently caress herself. Right now I'm back in school, in my mid twenties, and I had a few classes with an otaku. She did some really amazing art, but one day in Perspective Drawing, we were partnered up for something. I was explaining another assignment we had in our English class when I can see she's looking confused, so I stop. She tilts her head slowly to the side at me and goes, "Nani?" I never wanted to jump across a table and hit someone so bad before in my life. She hangs out with all the other anime obsessed fresh out of high school teenagers who throw fits in Observational Drawing because the teachers won't let them draw their precious anime. From time to time, I still see people wearing their stupid little cats ears and tails.

I've had some pretty bizarre commissions requests over the years myself (Misty and Jessie as ponyta and rapidash centaurs with big boobs, shrieking and struggling as they are being capture by a pokeball... multiple commission run ins with the infamous Savage Bandito aka Glue Guy), but holy CRAP at the weird stuff you guys have had people hit you up for. Wow. I know a girl who pretty much makes a living drawing cub porn for people on furaffinity, and when she started trying to pressure me into doing it as well so she'd have a loli/shotacon art friend to work with, I kinda shut off that pretty quick and stopped talking to her. Plus she's kind of insufferable and one of those "MY ANATOMY IS PERFECT I ~STUDIED IT~, IT'S MY STYLE!" people. Someone please start an A/T art commission thread, because while I have some stories, I don't have enough to head that one either.

I, for one, would really like to hear more of these stories. Summer and Denise are so alike, yet so different. Summer had different voices and personalities for all the animes and used different handwriting for when we passed notes. (Not TRULY different; just writing in all caps or in cursive or slanting slightly to the left.) Summer also worked on me pretty hard to try and "be Piccolo" for her, especially after the hairbrushing incident. I would say "okay" and then sit there and say "Okay Piccolo you can abduct me now," and when nothing happened I'd shrug and say "oh well I tried." She said I wasn't "opening myself up" enough and that I had to try harder to be him. In essence she was just saying, "PRETEND TO BE PICCOLO OKAY??" How did Denise do it? You said she got mad at you for not being Sephiroth, but within her own lore shouldn't she have been mad at Sephiroth for failing to possess you? Or did she also blame you for not trying hard enough? EDIT: PiratePing posted:http://izismile.com/2009/04/24/the_fetishists_14_pics.html Welp, time to clear my browser history and avoid the yarn shop for a week.

discoukulele posted:So, fanfiction writers, who add characters, get upset if other people write fanfiction.. about their characters? You have no idea how far this rabbit hole goes. They project and warp the source material pretty hard, and a lot of them seem to regard the world as real in some way. Also, they tend to not be regular people but special people. A standard Harry Potter OC would be some kind of half-Veela secret druid Ninja American exchange student who uses a Katana instead of a wand and has eyes that change color to reflect her mood. Also a tragic past in which she was abused/raped/parents murdered which lets her get away with things like brutally attacking people. Look up My Immortal for a taste of what this usually looks like. It was a deliberate troll attempt written by a goon, but no one had any idea because it blended in so goddamn well with most of the crazy OC-fanfiction. Harry Potter is actually sort of a weird case because there is a lot of insane racism that finds its way in. 'Hermione is secretly a pureblood' is a ridiculously common plot, and a lot of these fics devolve into the creepy racist 'Pureblood superiority' that the books reject.

Human sexuality is a complex system, and as such wires get crossed relatively easily. This isn't really a "these days" thing, it's pretty perpetual. If the broadness of kinks is wider now, it's just that there are more potential things to latch on to. Ensign Expendable posted:So would a Harry Potter original character just be...a person?

Fanfictions can easily pass 100k words in length because the person in question really loving loves Super Mario or something. Trollfics are often written by fiction writers who have no problems vomiting 50 pages worth of competent writing about their favorite fandom out on a whim, so it stands to reason that writing the same amount as a deliberately garbled parody with (purposefully) no attention paid to plot or spelling would be even easier.

If you're sufficiently skilled at parody, you can make it difficult to tell the difference.

Funny enough, Denise never asked me to be possessed by anyone. And I never was. When I asked about this, it was because Melissa and Uglynoodles were more special than me and therefore could be possessed. So, when I finally stopped indulging in bullshit, I made a point to mention that my 'shields' were so naturally powerful that it was really hard for SUPER POWERFUL ANIMU BOYS to get through. I think she was just jealous of me. Maybe it's a height thing, since I'm about 6 inches taller than her. And not a fatass.

Viola the Mad posted:This comic will give you an idea of what kind of characters people would be commissioning. This comic is amazing. This whole thread is amazing. I knew a group of Denise-types, but I thought they were unique in this world until I saw this thread. Now I wish I'd paid more attention to their imaginary world and its convenient rules. So when we were fifteen, my best friend Elizabeth started dating a girl named Sarah. I liked Sarah well enough, but she was a hard person to get to know. Quiet and stoic, she was always identifying with the 'stoic' characters in anime, like Trowa and Heero from Gundam Wing. As far as I know, her identification with anime characters didn't go beyond "I'm a teenager and I'm trying to figure myself out, and this character embodies some of the personality traits I find desirable." I don't think Sarah ever believed she was actually an anime character or married to one, but she believed - well, I'll get to it. Along with Sarah came her best friend, Ashley. Oh, Ashley. While Sarah was attractive, with red hair, freckles, and an athletic figure (she did karate for realsies), Ashley had an unfortunate face, greasy hair, a lumpy frame and ill-fitting Hot Topic clothes. Since our best friends were dating, Ashley thought that she and I should become super best friends as well. She heard that I was a writer, and so she immediately started showing me her 'poetry.' I would be sitting in the hallway between classes, and she'd dash up, dump her black leather notebook in my lap, and scurry off, shouting behind her, "Tell me what you thiiink!" Her poetry...imagine the most stereotypical goth poetry ever written. Then crank the stereotype up to 11, and you'd have Ashley's garbage. The first time she threw her notebook in my lap, I showed the poems to my friend Jim, and we had a nice giggle about them. Jim had known Ashley slightly in middle school, and he warned me not to offer her any real criticism. She would apparently FREAK OUT at the slightest critique. So when she came panting up to me later, I said things like, "I really, really like this section about the bitter darkness of your soul. It's so beautiful. Although...you do say darkness a lot, so, maybe you could use a synonym in some places?" The first few times, she took the criticism with grace, but then I went too far. I said something like, "so the bloody angel wings are made of both knives and feathers? How does that work?" Ashley burst into howling tears. I put my arm around her greasy shoulders, apologizing profusely while other kids stared at us. Then she started telling me about the abuse. Her stepbrother had raped her back when they lived in Texas. Her mother hadn't believed her at first, but then her mother had walked in on him raping her, and taken Ashley away. There was a restraining order against her stepbrother - who lived in Texas still - but he sometimes showed up to their new house to torment Ashley. The 'bloody angel' was her rapist stepbrother and WHY DIDN'T I SEE THAT? I felt like approximately the worst person ever - especially because I'd shared her terrible poetry with other people besides Jim - so I resolved to be Ashley's crying shoulder as penance. Ashley was more than willing to cry to me and to tell me the other part of her story. You see, Ashley was a reincarnated demon. She once had tremendous power as a demon (I think she was even a male demon like Parrier) but she couldn't use her power yet in her new human girl body. Oh, and Sarah was both a reincarnated elf queen and an elf warrior woman. The mythology was slightly borrowed from LOTR but Ashley (and Sarah) seemed to believe that it took place in historical time, not in a parallel world. I asked Elizabeth about this and she admitted that yes, her girlfriend believed she was a doubly-reincarnated elf, but she didn't mention it much unless Ashley was around. A few months later, Ashley, Sarah, and their other friend Sylvia started saying that they were energy vampires too. Also they were fighting invisible enemies that no one could see. One time, our group of friends were hanging out at Elizabeth's house, and in the middle of whatever it was we were doing, our three heroines had an invisible battle with the air. They won, I guess, but Sarah "gave all her energy" and had to lie down on the couch while Ashley and Sylvia fussed over her. Elizabeth had this tragic, embarrassed look on her face that I remember much more clearly than the 'battle.' Ashley continued to hang around me between classes telling me about her past life (which I sadly don't remember much about) and her terrible abusive family. But as her demonic origins got weirder, so did her family history. Her mother sometimes believed that the abuse happened and sometimes didn't. Her stepbrother kept driving up to (northern United States) from Texas to abuse her, although he didn't have a license. Or sometimes he abused her astrally. Ashley's mother kept threatening to move back to Texas unless Ashley behaved because her mother was evil and wanted her to be raped again. Her stepbrother was going to move HERE because the restraining order had expired. I really believed Ashley's story at first, but the various contradictions and obvious bullshit finally convinced me that she was making up at least some of it. I lost touch with Ashley when Elizabeth and Sarah finally broke up. Sarah took her stoic thing to such extremes that when her father dropped dead of a heart attack, she didn't tell Elizabeth. We only found out that her father was even dead when Sylvia - the other part of their psychic vampire trio - screamed at Elizabeth for not attending the funeral. Elizabeth tried for a few more months to get Sarah to communicate like a person, but she just became increasingly distant and finally Elizabeth ended it. I have no idea what became of Ashley, but last I heard of Sarah, she had just moved to Alaska to be in a BDSM relationship with a much older man that she'd met online. Sylvia is a chef and living a pretty normal life as far as I know.

I used to be on deviantART a lot when I was an extremely stupid middleschooler. I never got into the crazy parts, but I saw a bunch of it. Basically, just search for something like original character, or even worse, fursona and you'll find thousands and thousands of ugly technicolor stereotypical horrors. Another fun one is "$NAME the Hedgehog" or "$NAME the Pony". Let's go with something generic, like "John". Hedgehog. Pony. Don't forget to refresh, new and constant horrors are added every single second!

In middle school, my art class had an assignment to draw a self portrait. 5 girls, maybe more, drew themselves as anime people with gigantic, horrible eyes. All the portraits were put out in the hallway, so those things would be seen every day by people waiting to go into class. Interestingly enough, all those portraits got included in the yearbook, with the person's name and real photo. Thankfully, by high school all the "kawaii desu" people either got over their anime phase or didn't take the same arts class I did, because I never saw any of that garbage again.

Corridor posted:I used to whine about this a little in high school, until I realised that being forced to draw other styles actually improved my skillset. I can't stand it when supposed 'adults' do this, I guess they're only taking those classes so that they can tell people they're taking them. Really, it's all about the Dunning-Kruger with these people.

I was one of those students.  I couldn't understand why the teacher demanded that I draw from life when all I wanted to do was draw silly cartoons. Luckily after a year of terrible from-life drawing I decided to stick with 'physical' art and I've been happy ever since.Thank God I went through that phase before Deviantart even existed.
